Chapter 144 Liar!

Fan Qing raised his eyebrows, made a hesitant expression, and said, "If you don't want it, then I'd better not do this business tonight. I can't handle it alone..."

Jiang Yanhong exclaimed, "No, sister-in-law, I'm still here, I'll help you..."

"But you don't want money." Fan Qing sighed.

Jiang Yanhong was confused, "...Sister-in-law, you gave me money before."

"What I gave you before was the work that was agreed upon before. How can I not pay for extra work? I can't do such a conscienceless thing. I won't do this business anymore, even if I can make an extra hundred or two hundred a day..."

Fan Qing waved his hands, "If you want to make money, you have to take care of your life first. I won't do it anymore."

"Sister-in-law!"

[I can make an extra hundred or two hundred! Oh my God, is my sister-in-law stupid? Can't she even do the math? No, this money has to be earned, and earned quickly, before others get a share of her profits, earn it without stopping!

Jiang Yanhong was anxious, "That's one or two hundred!"

Fan Qing glanced at her, with an expression that said, "If you don't want the money, nothing you say will work."

"Yes, yes, yes, I want it! Is it not enough for me to want it?"

Fan Qingyi smiled then, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll go out this afternoon to contact the people who deliver the meat and vegetables, and ask them to send more. And we have to ask the chef to bring out the pots as soon as possible. We'll try our best to make some money before the New Year so that you can have a prosperous new year."

"Hey."

Jiang Yanhong's eyes were shining, and she smiled and responded, "I'll go back and tell Cheng Ran's dad that the business of that stall will be handed over to him in the future. I'll make a lot of money with my sister-in-law in Hao Yun Lai!"

"Let's make a lot of money together."

The two smiled at each other.

Back in the courtyard, Fan Qingyi prepared for the hot pot in the evening. He specially cleared more than a dozen plots of land and planted various hot pot dishes. The amount of beef, mutton, pork, chicken, duck and goose was also fixed to ensure sufficient ingredients.

The pots were ready and could be redeemed at any time with points.

After waiting for only two days, Fan Qingyi found a time to tell the workers who came to eat that the store would open for two hours from 5 pm to 7 pm, specializing in hot pots. Those who wanted to eat could come at that time.

Many people cheered, "Sister Fan, it should have been like this a long time ago. There are people queuing up every day. I am waiting in line for the pot in my dreams."

The people around laughed.

Fan Qingyi also smiled, "Thank you for your love of the hot pot. Tonight, we will open for trial operation and give you a black chicken roll and a vegetable platter for free. Thank you for your support."

There was applause in the store.

"Otherwise, it has to be our sister-in-law Fan. You can tell whether she is good or not by her actions!"

"Sister-in-law Fan is generous!"

"One free dish is one meat and one vegetable. It is worth at least 20 cents. If you don't come, you are a fool."

"Let's choose Sister-in-law Fan's small restaurant. We must come to support it!"

Jiang Yanhong reminded from the side, "... the sign has been hung. Now call Good Luck Come."

Someone in the basement started to make a fuss.

"Sister Fan's Good Luck Restaurant will definitely bring good luck!"

"Good Luck, what a good name!"

There were a lot of applause, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very lively. Many people who were eating hot pot heard that new flavors of soup base would be released in the afternoon, and they also said they wanted to try it again.

Some people also said they would invite their family members to eat together, so they don't have to cook dinner at home.

In such a cold day, it is so comfortable to eat such a hot pot without having to wash vegetables and cook by yourself.

Jiang Yanhong greeted them with a smile, "Don't worry, you will be well fed when the time comes."

Someone said to his companion cheerfully, "I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to take people to eat when I socialized with the machinery factory in the past few days. Isn't this a coincidence?"

"Oh, yes, I hadn't thought of it until you mentioned it. I heard that many of them are highly educated young engineers. Do you think they will be interested in the female textile workers in our workshop?"

"What's there to be dissatisfied with? We are all contributing to the country. There is no need to distinguish between big and small kings."

The companion laughed, "That's right. If we like someone, we will bring him/her over..."

"Bring it here! Didn't Sister Jiang say that? There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot. If one doesn't work, then two..."

The two of them looked at each other as they talked. Only then did they remember to be shy and chuckled.

Many people came in the evening after receiving the news at noon. The forty hot pots were snapped up within half an hour after they got off work.

There were only twenty seats on the revolving table, and five more were squeezed in. The remaining fifteen could only accommodate two people at a small square table, leaving some dishes and meatballs, meat rolls and the like on the table.

There was no time limit for eating hot pot in the evening. Many people chatted and laughed while eating hot pot. It was lively for more than two hours, and it was more than half an hour later than the expected closing time before they dispersed.

After Fan Qingyi and Jiang Yanhong finished cleaning up the store, they sat down to count the first day's income and the night's hot pot.

"... I have fifty-three and twenty-five yuan."

Jiang Yanhong looked at the neatly arranged bills in front of her and gulped, "... I have... forty-six and thirty-two yuan, add up to..."

The two looked at each other, and Fan Qingyi smiled and said the total.

"Ninety-nine and fifty-seven yuan."

Jiang Yanhong gasped, "Hiss... How can they eat so much?"

Looking at the vegetables that cost a few cents and the meat that cost a dime, they were not very expensive, how could they add up to so much? !

Ninety-nine and fifty-seven yuan, just 43 cents away from a hundred yuan!

This is just the income from a meal!

It would cost more than the workers in Ding Textile Factory a month's salary.

"Sister-in-law."

Jiang Yan's eyes were bright red, "You really made the right choice for this business!"

She was really happy for her sister-in-law.

"There are a total of 1,315 rubber bands, plus 353 small bowls of meatballs and meat rolls. We didn't talk about the commission for the small bowls two days ago. The small bowls are expensive, so the commission is calculated at 3 cents. The total is..."

Fan Qingyi was not very good at math, so he prepared an old-fashioned abacus in the store.

Her fingers touched the abacus beads, and she picked up one with her fingertips. Suddenly, the scene of Li Wenfeng teaching her how to use the abacus

came to her mind. She paused for a second before finishing her words. Her nose suddenly felt sore, and her eyes felt hot and burning. The longing in her heart was like a bamboo shoot that broke through the ground, rising straight up and piercing into her heart, making her tremble with pain.

She... missed Brother Wenfeng.

Realizing that Fan Qingyi was in a bad mood, Jiang Yanhong was about to speak up to remind her, but she saw her suddenly trembling and her face changed. She hurriedly stood up and supported her, "Sister-in-law? What's wrong?"

Fan Qingyi came back to her senses, forced a smile at Jiang Yanhong, and shook her head slightly.

"It's okay. I just... accidentally thought of A-Li's father."

Jiang Yanhong put her arm around her shoulders and saw the fragility in her eyes. Her eyes were slightly warm.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Wenfeng must be very happy to see you so powerful now."

Fan Qing smiled and didn't respond to her.

When Brother Wenfeng married her, he said, "If you marry me, you don't need to be very capable. I will stand in front of you. You just need to be yourself..."

Now, where is the person who promised to stand in front of her and protect her from the wind and rain?

Liar!
