Chapter 124 Let’s Set Up the Stall First

The next day, Xu Dahai came to the store in the morning and discussed the building materials with Ye Muqi.

"This is the price we agreed on. Do you think you can accept it?" Xu Dahai asked her.

Although Ye Muqi had said before that he would leave the decision to Xu Dahai, this was a matter involving money after all, so Xu Dahai felt that he should still ask Ye Muqi.

"Okay, I'll give you the money and you help me purchase. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll give you more." Ye Muqi nodded, took the money and handed it to Xu Dahai.

If you ask someone to help you buy something, you can't ask them to pay for it.

"It's not that much." Xu Dahai glanced at the money in his hand and took out some to hand back to Ye Muqi.

"The extra amount can be considered as a deposit. If there's anything you need to buy, please help me take a closer look." Ye Muqi waved his hand and refused.

Xu Dahai didn't refuse. They would keep a record of what they bought anyway, and they could slowly settle the bill later. But he was still very happy that Ye Muqi was so generous.

At lunch time, Xu Dahai and his two apprentices had gone shopping and had not returned yet, so Ye Muqi left some food for them.

Around 1 p.m., a truck arrived with the building materials that Xu Dahai had purchased and they were all piled up in the canteen.

"Uncle Hai, eat your meal first before you start working." Ye Muqi shouted hurriedly as he watched Xu Dahai and his two apprentices about to enter the convenience store next door.

It's already 1 o'clock, and the three people didn't come in the morning, aren't in the store, and I don't know if they have eaten breakfast.

"I'll count the things and come back." Xu Dahai responded.

He went to the grocery store to count the items he had bought, signed the order with the delivery driver, and then came back with his two apprentices.

Ye Muqi gave the reserved rice to the three people and added two chicken legs to each person's bowl, which were made by Yang Liwen for practice.

"Xiaorong, my dear wife, we have to break through the wall in the middle before we can install everything else." Xu Dahai said to Ye Muqi while eating.

After the middle wall was broken down, the area became more spacious, but the breakfast shop could no longer operate.

"After we finish selling lunch at noon, we will clean up the store here." Ye Muqi nodded, "Keep it in the back kitchen, and pile everything there. We won't store it there anymore."

The space in the back kitchen is not big. Even if the store is expanded, a back kitchen is needed to store things. Ye Muqi planned to keep the space in the back kitchen from the beginning.

After Xu Dahai and his two apprentices finished lunch, they went to clean up the canteen first. When the business closed at noon, Ye Muqi and the other two quickly cleaned up the store. They moved all the tables, chairs, benches and small stove to the back kitchen, leaving the breakfast shop empty.

After everything was cleaned up, Xu Dahai and his apprentices knocked down the wall between the two stores. The two stores became one store, and the inside of the store became more spacious.

"After we clean up here, we can start the renovation." Xu Dahai said, instructing his two apprentices to move the broken wall out.

"Now that the store is in this state, it seems we can't continue operating. Do we have to close it for a while?" Cai Dongmei looked at the empty store in front of her with a worried look on her face.

The renovation will take a while. Although she made some money during this period, Cai Dongmei was still reluctant to close the store suddenly because she had so many customers.

"It's okay. We can set up a small stall first and sell breakfast on the street. It's also convenient to make some cakes. Although the big bowl of rice needs to wait until the store is renovated, it won't take long." Ye Muqi thought about it. Although she is not short of money, no one will complain about having too much money.

The breakfast business could not earn as much as it does now, but it was good to earn a little, especially since Cai Dongmei still had to pay for her grandson's medical treatment. She could feel more at ease if she had some money coming in every day.

"Selling cakes? Sure, sure." Yang Liwen was very happy when she heard that Ye Muqi was going to make something new again.

She originally came here to learn cooking, so it didn't matter to her whether she worked in a store or set up a stall, as long as she could learn something.

"Okay, I have a ready-made small stall at home, it's a bit old, I used it before I rented a store. But I have kept my things well, they are not damaged, I just need to wipe them clean and I can use it." When Cai Dongmei heard about setting up a stall, she immediately remembered the things she had at home.

In the beginning, she made some money by selling wontons and buns at a stall. Later, she rented this store and started selling breakfast. She also wanted to add more things to sell in the store.

Who would have thought that an accident would happen at home, that both the son and daughter-in-law were gone, and that the little grandson also fell ill.

"I'll open that stall tomorrow morning." Cai Dongmei sighed, and missed the time when she first set up the stall.

"Okay, grandma, you should go back early. Sister Yang and I will take care of things here. You have grandchildren at home." Ye Muqi nodded.

Cai Dongmei has a stall, so it is much more convenient to set up the stall. All you have to do is prepare the ingredients.

"Xixi, what kind of cakes are you going to make tomorrow?" While accompanying Ye Muxi to watch the decoration, Yang Liwen was still thinking about what Ye Muxi had just said.

Yang Liwen was quite curious about what kind of cake Ye Muqi would make tomorrow. After all, a single cake couldn't be sold at a high price, and it felt like it might be a little worse than selling noodles.

Besides, every household knows how to make pancakes, but it is quite difficult to make them well.

"You will know tomorrow, Sister Yang." Ye Muqi winked at her playfully but said nothing.

The cakes she was going to sell were certainly not ordinary cakes. They would definitely attract a lot of customers tomorrow, and even if they didn't want to eat them, they would come and watch.

After staring at the decoration for a while, Ye Muqi said hello to Xu Dahai, and then went home with Yang Liwen, arriving home a little later than usual.

When Rong Jingchen returned home in the evening and saw his wife still cooking in the kitchen, he knew that she would definitely be back late that day.

"Xixi, how is the decoration of the store today? Are you tired?" He rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, and then helped Ye Muxi.

"It went quite smoothly. Today we connected the two stores and installed the lines. Uncle Hai said we can paint the walls tomorrow." Ye Muqi was in a good mood and replied with a smile: "But the store will not be open for business during this period. I plan to set up a stall outside the store tomorrow."

"Okay." Rong Jingchen felt relieved and stayed with her in the kitchen to cook. Ye Muqi was in a good mood and didn't chase him out.

At night, after taking a bath and lying in the quilt, Rong Jingchen looked at his sweet and soft young wife. He endured it again and again, but finally hugged her over.

"Xixi, tonight..."

"No! I have to set up a stall tomorrow and sell new things, so I have to get up early to prepare!" Ye Muqi grabbed Rong Jingchen's messy hand and pulled him away.

She turned over and left Rong Jingchen's arms with a firm attitude.

Rong Jingchen: “…”

"At least don't do it so... frequently." Her boyfriend's demands are too great and it's very hard for her.

"Well... can you at least let me hold you while you sleep?" Rong Jingchen felt aggrieved, and moved closer to hug Ye Muqi tightly, but his hands did not move.

Alas, my young wife is too career-oriented.
