The next day, as if nothing had happened, another busy day began.

Knowing that Lin Wei had returned to her stall, Shen Jize and Xiao Zeng would appear at her stall every day around noon.

If he's not there, he must be on a business trip.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

September has arrived, and with only three days left before school starts, it's time for them to settle their accounts carefully.

Lin Xiaomeng's home.

Zhang Min took out the accounting book.

“The daily net profit is over 3,000. We’ve worked for 60 days. Let me calculate.” Zhang Min took out a calculator, added the numbers one by one, and finally gave the answer after confirming it twice.

210,000.

Even Zhang Min herself couldn't believe the number after it came out.

"That can't be right, how could they make so much money all of a sudden?"

Gao Huifang, however, knew exactly what was going on.

“Weiwei makes money from pork belly, and we also make a lot of braised food every day. The net income of over 3,000 yuan a day is just a general figure. On average, the net income per day should be around 3,500 yuan.”

"My God, I know that setting up a stall can make money, but this is way too profitable." Zhang Min felt her hands were shaking.

But Gao Huifang remained calm, saying, "If Weiwei quits, won't we be back to normal? So there's no difference."

Lin Wei said, "If you add a little salt to the brine every day, it can last for at least 3-5 days. I won't participate anymore. You can do it on your own. I'm going back to school tomorrow or the day after and I want to rest for a bit, but I want to take some with me so my classmates can try it."

"Okay. Let's split the money. As we agreed before, Vivi will get 40%."

Lin Wei quickly said, "No need, we can just split it equally. 210,000 is exactly 70,000 each, which will save us from having to deal with small change."

The two adults disagreed, saying, "We agreed before we started the business that you would get 40%. We'll talk about the change later. We agreed on how to split it, and we can't make a mistake on that."

In the end, Lin Wei received 84,000 yuan, while Gao Huifang and Zhang Min received 63,000 yuan each.

Lin Xiaomeng, watching from the side, felt a toothache and said, "You guys are making way too much money."

Although it was indeed hard work.

But they make a lot of money.

“The money I make in these two months is enough for me to work hard for several years. Having money in hand makes me feel less anxious, and it really allows me to calm down and think about what to do next.” As she spoke, Zhang Min asked again, “Weiwei, are you still making fried meatballs for Chinese New Year this year?”

"Bomb, of course I'll bomb. I start as soon as I get a holiday and keep going until Chinese New Year."

"I'm really impressed with you guys. Summer vacation has just ended and it's already the Lunar New Year, and you're already planning for winter vacation." Lin Xiaomeng shook her head helplessly and reminded her at the right time, "You agreed so early, what if something happens during winter vacation?"

“What could possibly happen to me? School wouldn’t schedule things during holidays anyway. It’s that project… but I probably won’t be needed much. I’ll plan ahead. If something does happen, I won’t go to the site to fry during the day, but I’ll come back at night to season it. Count me in.”

Gao Huifang immediately realized, "Yes, the most important thing is the taste. As long as Weiwei can control the taste, we can just take care of the kids."

After dividing the money, Zhang Min and Gao Huifang continued to set up their stall with the braised food, while she took some of the freshly made braised food back to school.

"I knew you guys would be back around this time. Here, summer special, Lin's braised snacks."

Wang Ying's eyes lit up. "Weiwei, you made this? You wouldn't be selling this during summer vacation, would you?"

"That's right, it tastes great and they're making a fortune. Hurry up and try it, it's too hot to leave it out overnight."

They wanted to spend the night there, but it was simply impossible.

“We couldn’t eat anything all summer. We went out to set up a stall because of you. We were tired and hungry, but you’re the one who wants to eat as soon as you smell something,” Zhang Yanyan said.

“If you don’t have an appetite in the summer, you should eat something to stimulate your appetite,” Lin Wei said, then realized, “You all went to set up stalls? How’s business?”

Wang Ying said, "I lost money, only I lost money. Anjing and Yan Yan both made money, how come I'm the only one who lost money? I was already broke, and now I'm even more strapped for cash."

Anjing shook her head helplessly, "If she doesn't lose money, who will? She gets ice cream from the ice cream factory and sells it on the streets."

Zhang Yanyan smiled and then said quietly, "This was originally a profitable business, but this person is greedy and eats while selling. The money he earns is enough to fill his own mouth. Weiwei, take a closer look. His face is so fat that it's unbearable to look at."

Wang Ying blushed and immediately became anxious, "Oh dear, stop talking, stop talking! I didn't think it through. It's already hot outside, and it's even hotter when I'm selling ice cream. When it's hot, I crave something cool, and then... I promise, I will never do that again."

Lin Wei shattered her illusions, "You'd better change your job next time. Selling ice cream is indeed dangerous, because I ate a lot of ice cream in the summer, I just couldn't resist. What about you guys?"

Zhang Yanyan laughed and said, "I sell some handicrafts at the door, mostly small trinkets. But my house is on the street, so I sit at my door and sell them while I'm making them. I've earned a few hundred yuan in two months."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, you have enough for a semester's living expenses." Lin Wei immediately praised.

"Of course! My mom says I'm smart, that's why I could think of this."

Anjing said, "It's just a coincidence. My mom just got laid off, so we set up a small stall to sell breakfast: boiled corn, steamed buns, and eggs. And believe it or not, it's more than my mom's salary. No wonder Weiwei always says that setting up a stall makes money. I didn't believe it before, but now I do."

"But then again, we've made so much money, Weiwei, this is a huge business for you, you're probably making even more."

Lin Wei explained, "This business wasn't done by me alone. I did it with the two households next door. In total... well, you shouldn't ask if you don't want to. I don't think you can handle it."

It's obvious that Lin Wei must be earning a lot of money. To protect her privacy and not undermine their confidence, she's taking precautions.

The three of them adopted a unified story, preserving what little self-respect they had left.

"Yes, don't say it. Actually, we don't want to know. I think we're capable enough as we are, and we don't need to know anything more."

"Sweetie, hurry up and eat. These two bowls will cost at least several tens of yuan. It would be a shame if they went bad."

The three of them pursed their lips and then hurriedly started eating.

But then Zhang Yanyan asked, "Weiwei, now that you've finished last year's job, do you have any side jobs to do this year?"

"There shouldn't be any this year, but I asked around and the site is almost cleaned up. They'll be hiring and starting work in two months. We'll probably have to be on-site to oversee things, so don't think about part-time jobs for now. Focus on your studies and ask your teachers lots of questions. It would be best if we could solve the problems on-site."

"Even if we can't solve it, it's okay. The blueprints are already finalized. Once the project starts, Chen should pay us. Let's make it clear beforehand that no one is allowed to have any objections to how much we get. We're just going there to learn; it's a rare opportunity."

The three of them knew what was going on and quickly agreed, "We know, we know, don't worry, what could we possibly have to say?"
