"This grilled meat tastes so good!" Lin Weiming took a bite of the grilled meat, and the salty, savory, spicy and numbing aroma exploded in his mouth. It was so delicious that he couldn't help but want to swallow his tongue as well.

The children were even happier eating, finishing the meat slices skewered on bamboo sticks in just a few bites, and then continuing to grill the rest of the meat slices.

Just then, the food in the kitchen was ready, so we brought it out to eat with the sliced ​​meat. Before long, we were eating until our mouths were full of oil.

Even Liu Junlan and Xue Fu thought the grilled meat slices tasted delicious.

Liu Junlan picked up a slice of meat and ate it with rice, then smiled and said to Lin Wanyue, "My Wanwan eats so well, she'll definitely be a good cook in the future."

Lin Wanyue smiled, but looked quite embarrassed.

Actually, she didn't have much of a cooking skill; it was just that she had eaten and seen a lot of food in the future, so even if she didn't know how to cook, she could still describe the general idea.

"Mom, can we still have meat tomorrow?" Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu looked at Xuefu expectantly.

They didn't buy much meat today, and although they were already full, they were still craving more, hoping they could have some tomorrow.

Xuefu said with some difficulty, "There isn't much money left in the house. We need to save it for the cost of opening the shop. After we make some money in a while, Mother, can we buy some meat to eat?"

"Okay." The two children were a little reluctant, licking the remaining taste from the corners of their mouths, but they didn't say anything more.

"Mom, why don't we open a barbecue restaurant? Barbecue is so delicious, there will definitely be people who want to buy it!" Lin Zheyun came up with a better idea, as he also liked to eat barbecue slices.

If their shop sold barbecue, wouldn't we be able to eat delicious barbecue every day?

"You wish!" Lin Weiming ruthlessly shattered his son's expectations. "Meat is so expensive. Grilled meat doesn't make as much broth as stewed meat. If we sell it cheaply, it won't be profitable. If we sell it expensively, no one will buy it. Even in the county town, how many people can afford to eat meat? No matter how delicious our grilled meat is, it won't sell for more than a few days."

Lin Wanyue's round eyes darted around. Her father was right; selling barbecue was not suitable for such a remote small town.

Because meat is expensive, not many people can afford it.

But delicious barbecue isn't just about grilled meat slices. If you replace the grilled meat with other, cheaper ingredients, but still retain the same fragrant and delicious flavor, wouldn't that make the business thrive?

Lin Wanyue immediately began to recall all the street food stalls she had ever eaten at.

She quickly thought of the grilled starch sausage she loved to eat, but unfortunately, the technology for making starch sausage didn't exist in this era. If she brought it out rashly, even if the Lin family could accept it, she would have to consider whether other people in this era could accept it.

If only there were starch...

etc!

Isn't starch just sweet potato starch?

Lin Wanyue's eyes suddenly lit up!

She had a great idea.

...

The next day, Lin Zhongyuan went to the academy, while Lin Weiming went to the dock to unload cargo as usual.

Liu Junlan took the children to the steamed bun shop to clean it up and get it ready to open for business as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether it makes money or not, I can't just stay at home doing nothing.

Liu Junlan is used to farm work, and now she's idle at home with nothing to do, and she still has to spend money to buy groceries every day. It's heartbreaking to see her like this.

Upon hearing that they didn't have to study at home, the three Lin brothers carried brooms faster than Liu Junlan could run.

Anyway, as long as you don't have to study, you can do anything.

"Grandma~ I'll help too." Lin Wanyue also picked up a small broom and helped sweep the floor.

Liu Junlan fetched a bucket of water from the well in the backyard and poured it on the ground, intending to wash it more thoroughly.

While they were busy working, a few thugs with disheveled clothes came to their door.

"Who are you?" Liu Junlan put down the bucket and looked at the group of people.

"Tsk!" The thugs looked him up and down and sneered, "You guys were pretty quick. You even cleaned it up pretty well."

"?" Liu Junlan was even more confused and just stared at them.

Lin Wanyue didn't recognize these people, but even if she hadn't seen them in her past life, she had at least seen the movie, and a word popped into her head.

Could these people be here to collect protection money?

However, she was wrong this time.

"Hey, ma'am," the thug spat on the ground, "you guys were quick, but you messed things up. This shop was originally our boss's, but you had good taste and had to jump in and ruin it. If you were smart enough to know what was good for you, our boss would have been willing to buy this shop for ten taels of silver."

"Huh?" Liu Junlan couldn't help but repeat, "Ten taels of silver?"

"That's right, our boss is always generous, so you guys got a good deal!" The thug tossed his greasy hair, his words surprisingly tinged with pride.

"..."

Liu Junlan's lips twitched. Now she finally understood why the previous owner of the steamed bun shop was so wary of the owner of the Jiang family pawnshop!

Such a bustling shop in the city center, yet they're only willing to pay ten taels of silver!

That's blatant bullying.

"We're not selling. You can leave now," Liu Junlan said coldly.

"You old hag, don't you dare refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" One of the thugs following behind the big thug pointed a finger at Liu Junlan and cursed, "You're so ungrateful, and you're an outsider. Even if you've paid money, don't even think about doing business here!"
