Making money is exciting.

The fact that the Lin family earned five hundred copper coins in just half a day made the whole family even more excited!

You should know that even a strong laborer like Lin Weiming, who goes to the docks to find work, can only earn a maximum of two hundred coins a day, even if he works incredibly hard all day long.

Not to mention Liu Junlan and Xue Fu, those two women, the docks wouldn't even want them.

As for finding work elsewhere, Liu Junlan asked the neighborhood aunties. Even among the locals, a woman who could earn fifty copper coins a day was the envy of the neighbors.

But now the three of them have easily earned five hundred copper coins, how could anyone not be happy?

Earning money gives you motivation.

After a simple lunch, Liu Junlan took the money to the butcher shop to buy meat.

Today, Liu Junlan made some money in business and also gained some experience.

The roasted sweet potato noodles they're selling today come in only one flavor; at most, they can add or remove certain ingredients according to the customer's request.

If you buy more meat, you can make more of the roasted meat slices that the kids love to eat that day, or wash and fry the pork skin, then wrap a piece inside a sweet potato wrapper—that would be quite delicious.

Xuefu stayed at home and took the sweet potato starch that Lin Wanyue had taken from the small study room. She added water to a ceramic basin and stirred it well. The steamer was hot, and the billowing steam made the whole kitchen seem to be shrouded in mist.

Taking advantage of this time, I scooped out a large spoonful of sweet potato starch and put it in the rectangular container. The steamer was folded layer by layer and piled high.

The fire was blazing, and the water in the pot was bubbling loudly.

Not long after, the steamer was steaming. Xuefu waited a while and then took the contents out and put them in cold water. They quickly unmolded and came out as a whole, evenly sized sweet potato skin.

It's not difficult to make these things, but making hundreds of them, and being cooped up in this room, can be quite tiring.

Lin Weiming helped Xuefu start the fire, and the two talked as they worked.

“Honey, I think Wanwan has a point. If we could still sell soy milk, even more people would eat our roasted sweet potato noodles for breakfast.”

"There are a lot of people here today, but it's just because everyone's interested in something new. If we want to make this business last, we definitely need to think of ways to sell more new things," Lin Weiming said.

"Hmm..." Xuefu was busy working, her hands were not free for a moment, and she frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "But didn't Mother say that we don't have enough hands in the family? Making tofu is not an easy job. If our family wants to sell soy milk, it's not just about two or three pounds of soybeans. We might have to get up in the middle of the night to work. Grinding soybeans is tiring. How can we do it?"

"Hehe, I've got an idea!"

"What method? Tell me first." Xuefu looked up at him.

Lin Weiming wanted to speak, but hesitated and stammered. In the end, his determination to make money prevailed.

"I heard that the tofu beauty lives not far from our house? I heard her tofu is pretty good. Making tofu and soy milk is the same thing, so why don't we ask her to help us make soy milk? We can take it over every morning and make money that way!"

"Oh, tofu beauty~" Xuefu laughed: "So that's what you were planning. No wonder you wouldn't tell your mother earlier. Why are you coming to tell me now? Go ahead and take it. You're not the only one who likes tofu beauties."

"Hey, honey, don't be angry... I was just worried you'd be upset, that's why I didn't dare say anything. I promise you, I absolutely didn't have any ulterior motives, I was just thinking about making more money!"

Lin Weiming, afraid that his wife was really angry, quickly came over to explain, "I'm just worried that our savings are almost gone. In the city, everything costs money, and we don't have much money left. Just thinking about it makes me anxious. I'm only thinking about earning more money, how could I have any other thoughts? Besides, no matter how beautiful other women are, can they be as beautiful as my wife?"

"Hmph." Xuefu turned her face away, but there wasn't much anger in her voice.

What her husband worried about was also what she worried about.

She understood her family's financial situation better than Lin Weiming, and seeing how much money they could make in a day, she figured that if they could sell one more serving of soy milk, they could definitely earn some money back.

Even if the "Tofu Beauty" has a bad reputation, the money is innocent!

You can't just give up money for a man, can you?

"You can buy soy milk, but you're not allowed to go! Tell your mother later whether I can go or she can go, but you're not allowed to go!" After thinking for a moment, Xuefu still insisted.

It also prevents older women from gossiping.

Lin Weiming chuckled after hearing this.

If your wife is so attentive to you, she must love you to death!

Lin Weiming wished he had a tail growing out of his butt, so he didn't refuse at all and readily agreed.

…

The soy milk issue was resolved, but the three Lin brothers persisted, wanting to help out at the shop.

All three had valid reasons, but Liu Junlan refused to give them a chance.

The three of them lamented their misfortune, feeling that their talents were going to waste.

"Grandma, didn't you say you were short-handed today? Let me go to the store to help out. I'm strong, I can definitely do more work than my dad! I promise I won't slack off." Lin Zheyun said coquettishly, clinging to Liu Junlan's arm.

He was strong and tall, almost as tall as Liu Junlan, who was already quite strong among women. When this half-grown boy started to act cute, it was really hard for anyone to resist.
