The Lin family's business is thriving.

Although the initial novelty has worn off and the queues outside Lin Ji Eatery aren't as long as before, there are still quite a few people with stronger palates who like to come early in the morning to order a plate of roasted sweet potato noodles for breakfast, along with a bowl of sweet soy milk.

Compared to light breakfasts like steamed buns and mantou, roasted sweet potato wrappers are filled with more fillings and have a strong flavor. For most people who have to do physical labor every day, this fragrant breakfast directly ignites their energy to work early in the morning!

After selling out during this period, Lin Weiming went back and calculated the accounts, finding that he could earn between seven and nine hundred coins every day.

This is a lot of money for ordinary people like them!

But when it comes to making money, no one can ever make enough.

They sell out of roasted sweet potato noodles almost every morning, with no left until noon.

That would mean a complete waste of lunchtime.

Lin Weiming had been thinking about keeping the shop open at noon, but he didn't know what to sell.

“Our shop has only just started to stabilize, and you want to do something else? Selling other things would require a lot of costs. Besides, even though we sell out of roasted sweet potato skins in one morning, it takes quite a bit of effort to steam them.”

"If you go to work in the afternoon, are you planning to steam the sweet potato skins again in the evening? Or are you expecting your wife to do it all by herself?" Liu Junlan ultimately preferred to play it safe and didn't want to cause too much trouble.

The main reason is that I don't want to lose sight of the bigger picture. I don't want to end up selling nothing at all, which would be even more of a loss.

Moreover, what she said makes sense; the goods can be sold out in just half a day, but it takes most of the day to prepare the materials.

Steaming sweet potato noodles isn't difficult, but it requires both tending the fire and preparing the batter, then pouring the batter into the steamer. It's quite meticulous, and it would be hard for Xuefu to maintain the job by herself alone.

The weather has been hot these past few days, and people have already started selling things like cantaloupes and watermelons in the markets.

When Lin Weiming came back, he brought a watermelon with him, cut it into several pieces, and gave a slice to everyone in the family.

While eating watermelon, Lin Weiming held a large fan in his hand and fanned Lin Wanyue.

"I was thinking about that too. It's so hot these days, and I'm worried that Xuefu will get too hot in the kitchen all by herself... But seeing how much money they're making on both sides of our shop, while we've wasted half a day, I feel like we're losing money." Lin Weiming took a bite of watermelon with a 'crunch'.

Compared to his time in the village, Lin Weiming felt that life in the city was much more comfortable.

In the morning, I sell roasted sweet potato noodles in my own shop. Sometimes I can sell them all in half a morning. Although my face gets hot from the stove, I don't get any sun exposure and I don't have to exert any effort.

After returning home at noon, I took a nice nap to rejuvenate.

In the past, when I worked in the fields, I wanted to be carrying a hoe all the time, walking around my own fields several times a day, and I never had a moment to spare.

But the more he did this, the less Lin Weiming wanted to be idle.

You can earn money by working in the shop; the clinking of coins into your purse is more pleasant than any melody.

"Wanwan, give me some." Laifu smelled the sweet watermelon and insisted on squeezing next to Lin Wanyue, grinning as he said, "Just give me half a piece, just give me half a piece, okay?"

Lin Wanyue couldn't bear to see Lin Weiming fanning her, so she broke off half of the uneaten portion from her hand and handed it to him.

Laifu immediately hugged the watermelon and happily started eating it.

"This watermelon isn't sweet enough. Back when I lived in a prince's mansion, the watermelons there were so delicious." Laifu ate one piece and then continued to stare longingly at Lin Wanyue.

Lin Wanyue looked at the somewhat greedy Laifu, a sweet smile on her face. She slid off Lin Weiming, grabbed a large slice of watermelon from the table, and handed it to him.

"Wanwan, why are you being so nice to me today? Hehe, is something the matter? Just tell me! I'll do anything I can for you," Laifu said readily.

Lin Wanyue nodded and said, "That's a good deal. It's been hot these past few days, could you help my family steam the sweet potato skins? That way my parents and grandma won't get tired."

Laifu, still munching on a watermelon: "???"

So love has disappeared, right?

So I won't get tired, right?

The accusatory look in Lai Fu's eyes was so obvious that Lin Wanyue couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

"If you're willing to help me steam sweet potato noodles, I'll double the amount of candy you get from now on. I'm also planning to have my parents make a fruit salad," Lin Wanyue said with a smile, negotiating with Laifu.

"Fruit salad? What's that? Is it good?" Laifu asked casually after taking a bite of watermelon.

"Delicious, of course it's delicious!" Lin Wanyue assured with a smile.

Although Laifu was unhappy, he knew he couldn't deal with Lin Wanyue, and for the sake of all the delicious candies she had, he had no choice but to give in.

However, Lai Fu wasn't entirely without ideas.

Now the little pink butterfly has learned to control the axe and club, which means it has two more helpers when fighting.

He, Laifu, is so much older than Xiaofendie, yet he can't do anything. It's utterly shameful.

Now that Lin Wanyue is making him do chores, it's a good opportunity for him to practice.

There are far more pots and pans in the kitchen than axes and hammers!

...

next day

Even before Lin's Restaurant opened, several people were already queuing up at the entrance, all waiting to buy roasted sweet potato skins.
