[I've thought about this. We won't make much money if we just keep doing the supply business. We have to think of other ways.]

The two chatted as they walked, Jiang Ruyi spoke, Liu Chunhua agreed from time to time, and soon they arrived in town.

When passing by the cafeteria where Old Li was, Jiang Ruyi suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?" Liu Chunhua followed her gaze and frowned, "Why is it closed again?"

[Are other canteens in town closed? ]

"Probably not." Liu Chunhua thought for a moment. On the way here, every house had its doors wide open.

[Could there be some kind of accident? ]

The two of them were whispering to each other. Shopkeeper Luo from the grain and oil store saw them and immediately put down the account book in his hand, "Sister Chunhua, you came so early today."

"Yes, several vegetable farmers are waiting to get paid, so I came here early." Liu Chunhua delivered all the things over. The two have been working together for so long that there is already a dedicated person in charge of handling them carefully. After Shopkeeper Luo confirmed that there was no problem, he paid the money directly.

"Just now I saw you were looking at Old Li. Do you have anything to do with him?" Shopkeeper Luo asked while directing people to put things to the backyard.

Liu Chunhua also took the opportunity to ask, "To be honest, Lao Li and I also have a little hairy tofu business, but the canteen has been closed for several times in a row. Is there something wrong?"

"You don't know yet?" Shopkeeper Luo suddenly became alert and lowered his voice, "The canteen owner lost all his fortune in gambling and can't even pay the workers' wages. Doesn't he have to close down? I think you should be prepared. I guess you can't continue to sell Mao tofu."

Liu Chunhua didn't think it was a big deal. There is no such thing as a long-term business in this world. It is common for a business to fail. But she was a little worried about Old Li. She heard that he was still working as a chef at his old age because his family had a large population and it was difficult to make a living. Now that he has lost his job and income, she didn't know how he would be able to live.

[I'm afraid it won't be easy for him.] Jiang Ruyi suddenly spoke up. She just remembered that the original text mentioned the fate of Old Li. He lost his ability to make money and was not tolerated by his son and daughter-in-law. It didn't take long for him to die of illness.

When Liu Chunhua heard this, she was shocked. "Manager Luo, do you know the address of Old Li's home? I want to go see him."

"I actually know that. Just wait, I'll write it to you." Shopkeeper Luo took out a pen and paper while praising Liu Chunhua for her kindness. The two of them took the address, bought some fried cakes and peach pastries on the street, and headed to Old Li's house.

Fortunately, Old Li's house was not far away. Perhaps he had saved some money as a chef over the years, so his house was on the edge of the town. Liu Chunhua arrived there in a short while. However, the door of the house was closed and an unpleasant smell came from the room.

"It's over. Could something have happened?" Liu Chunhua knocked on the door quickly. "Brother Li, are you home?"

She called out three times in a row, but no one in the room responded. Just when Liu Chunhua thought that no one was around, she suddenly heard Old Li's weak voice, "I...I'm here."

"Brother Li!" Liu Chunhua rushed in immediately and saw Old Li struggling to get up from the bed. He had become much thinner and the coat he was wearing wrapped him tightly.

"Sister Chunhua, why are you here?" Old Li was also startled when he saw her. Liu Chunhua quickly put down the things in her hands. "I heard that something happened in your canteen. I was worried that you were feeling bad, so I came to see you. Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"Well, that's not really the case." From Old Man Li's story, Liu Chunhua and Jiang Ruyi learned that Old Man Li not only lost his job as a chef, he also didn't even get the wages for the past two months. His son and daughter-in-law didn't look at him well when they saw him like this. Old Man Li got so angry that he became listless every day and eventually became what he is now.

"Oh, Brother Li, as long as you are okay, it's good. It would be a waste if you really got sick from anger!" Liu Chunhua saw the thermos on the ground, poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. Old Li was so moved that he thanked her repeatedly, while Jiang Ruyi was thinking about another thing.

[How much do they plan to sell this canteen for? ]

Liu Chunhua's heart moved, and she asked Jiang Ruyi's question. Old Li took a sip of water and said slowly, "That black-hearted guy said that he wanted at least 2,000 yuan before he was willing to transfer the place and the pots and bowls together. But because his price was too high, no one was willing to take it over."

Liu Chunhua's heart, which had just been burning with excitement, dimmed again.

Not to mention that she didn't know how to run a restaurant, she didn't even have enough money. After saying a few words of comfort to Old Man Li, Liu Chunhua took Jiang Ruyi away.

On the way back, Jiang Ruyi said, "It's a pity. If we can take over the store, we will have a stable base, and the pots and pans are ready. We can even invite Old Li back to be the chef."

Moreover, with her countless experiences of eating takeout, she can also provide many innovative and unique dishes, so she won’t have to worry about a lack of business.

"The difficulty lies in the lack of money." Liu Chunhua estimated her own small treasury. Although she had made some money during this period, it was still a long way from two thousand, and she could not get it together in a short period of time.

The mother and daughter sighed in unison, and when they looked up, they suddenly heard two beeps coming from the roadside.

"Sister Liu."

It was Huo Shu and Huo Yuli.

The two men were standing on the side of the road, apparently having been waiting for a long time.

When Jiang Ruyi saw Huo Yuli, her mind unconsciously thought of the scene of their last meeting.

Sure enough, God favors the male protagonist. Whether it is birth, appearance or IQ, he is far superior to his peers.

"Boss Huo, Young Master Huo, why are you here?" Liu Chunhua knew the identities of the two men, and her attitude was much more reserved than last time.

Huo Shu smiled elegantly, "Don't be nervous, Sister Liu. We came here specially this time because we want to ask you for help."

"Please me?"

"The farmhouse has been built, and many things have been added according to Sister Liu's suggestion last time. This time I came here to ask you to take a look and see if there are any omissions or insecure places."

"No, no, no, I just made some suggestions. It's easier said than done. I can't understand it even if you really ask me to look at it. How can I be qualified to talk about judging?"

"Aunt Liu is too modest." Huo Yuli took two steps forward and touched Jiang Ruyi's head with her little hand. Seeing her turn her head away with an unhappy look on her face, he couldn't help but smile, "We have all seen Aunt Liu's ability, and we are all convinced."

Huo Shu also echoed, "Yes, don't refuse anymore. Just like last time, as long as Sister Liu is willing to help, we will pay extra."

【！ ！ ！】 Jiang Ruyi's eyes lit up instantly, [This is not the hero, this is clearly the God of Wealth! 】
