Chapter 38 Save money and buy a car

Ye Muqi finished making the things, packed them carefully and went out.

It's still difficult to take a bus early in the morning.

Moreover, my luck today was not as good as yesterday. I didn't catch a ride. Not many people from the military area go to the city often.

"I don't know if buying a car is expensive. If I can get a car, it will be convenient to go to the city..." Ye Muqi muttered and started to calculate the money.

She still has quite a bit of money in her hands now, and she uses the side dishes she makes every day from the space without having to spend any extra money.

If the breakfast shop does good business and she can earn a dozen dollars a day, buying a car shouldn't be too difficult.

"Save some money and try to buy a car!"

Ye Muqi silently set a small goal for himself in his heart.

Without a ride, Ye Muqi arrived at the breakfast shop later than yesterday. There were already quite a few people in the shop, and even a queue was formed. Cai Dongmei was explaining something to the customers in the shop.

Next to Cai Dongmei, there was a little boy who looked thin and weak, but was dressed very neatly. He stood behind Cai Dongmei with a somewhat timid look on his face, holding onto the corner of her clothes. He must be Cai Dongmei's grandson.

Ye Muqi remembered that Cai Dongmei once said that her grandson seemed to be named Sun Chao.

"Here he comes! He's finally here, we've been waiting for him for a long time!" The customers in the store looked at Ye Muqi rushing over, and their expressions immediately turned into joy.

With the appearance of Ye Muqi, the store was filled with that mouth-watering aroma again. Looking at the big bags in Ye Muqi's hands, everyone was rubbing their hands and waiting.

Ye Muqi walked into the kitchen, and Cai Dongmei immediately followed him in and helped Ye Muqi put the side dishes on the low stove to stew.

"I saw that you haven't come over yet, so I started kneading the dough for you." Cai Dongmei pointed to the kneaded dough on the table.

There are so many customers in the store now, all waiting for the noodles made by Ye Muqi.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Ye Muqi took a look and went out to write down the new side dishes: braised beef at 40 cents, salted egg at 20 cents, and rice noodles were added, making them the same price as noodles.

Ye Muqi had placed the rice noodles in the store yesterday afternoon. Now all he had to do was take them out, get a basin filled with water, soak the rice noodles in the water, and officially start today's business.

With yesterday's experience, the store was in order. Although Cai Dongmei's grandson was very small, he was very efficient in helping to clean up the dishes in the store. He looked well-behaved, which made Cai Dongmei feel a lot more relaxed.

"Grandma, isn't your grandson in poor health? If he doesn't stay at home to rest, will there be any consequences from being so tired?" Ye Muqi asked worriedly after seeing that Sun Chao had been busy for a while.

Although there were more people in the store than yesterday, Ye Muqi bought a lot of new bowls yesterday afternoon. As the two of them became more and more skilled, they were able to handle the work.

"It's okay. Didn't we make a lot of money yesterday? I bought new medicine for Xiaochao, and the situation has stabilized a lot." Cai Dongmei said with a smile.

The breakfast shop business was good, and her most beloved grandson could afford medicine. His illness could be slowly cured. From the beginning, Cai Dongmei never stopped smiling.

"What disease is it?" Ye Muqi asked without stopping his work.

Although she is not a doctor, she does have knowledge from the afterlife, so it would be great if she could be of help.

"Asthma is a bit serious. Sometimes I can't breathe. It's worse when the seasons change. I'm worried that no one will take care of him at school. Now he's so old, but he can't go to school." Speaking of her grandson's illness, Cai Dongmei couldn't help but sigh.

However, as long as my grandson is doing well, it doesn’t matter whether he studies or not.

But she is getting old, and what Cai Dongmei worries about most is what will happen to her grandson if she passes away one day?

Cai Dongmei was depressed for only a moment, then she immediately put on a smiling face and went to entertain the guests.

Ye Muqi thought about it. In fact, asthma cannot be cured. It can only be stabilized through treatment. In this era when medicine is not very developed, this disease can only be treated in this way.

Ye Muqi also sighed. The hemp rope is good at picking out small details, and misfortune only finds the unfortunate people.

…

Today's side dishes were fully prepared, with one more item than yesterday, but even so, I was busy until almost noon, when I gradually calmed down a bit.

There were still customers in the store, but it wasn't as packed as it was at the beginning.

"Are you hungry?" Ye Muqi asked him gently as he watched Sun Chao walk in with two empty bowls and put them in the sink.

I was busy as soon as I arrived today and didn't have time to ask Cai Dongmei and her grandparents whether they had had breakfast.

"Hmm..." Sun Chao looked a little timid. He covered his stomach and seemed to be really hungry.

"Then sister will make you a bowl of rice noodles?" Ye Muqi asked him with a smile.

"Okay~" Sun Chao looked at Ye Muqi's kind face and nodded gently. He watched Ye Muqi grab the rice noodles and put them into the bamboo colander to drain the water. Then he stood behind Ye Muqi, looking at him eagerly with a pair of eyes.

After making a bowl of noodles, Ye Muqi added non-spicy soybean sauce and brined pork, and a brined egg before passing the noodles to Sun Chao.

"There are not many people in the store, so you can go and eat without worry." Ye Muqi said.

"Thank you, beautiful sister~" Sun Chao held a bowl of noodles and thanked her with sparkling eyes, looking very cute.

Ye Muqi ordered another portion for Cai Dongmei. She had already eaten at home in the morning and was not very hungry now.

"Beautiful sister, aren't you going to eat?" Sun Chao came in after finishing his meal and emptied his bowl, then looked at Ye Muqi in confusion.

He felt hungry just after cleaning up the dishes. The beautiful sister never stopped in the kitchen. Isn’t she hungry?

Ye Muqi secretly took out a piece of chocolate from the space, pretending to take it out from his pocket, and handed it to Sun Chao.

"I'm not hungry. This is for you. Thank you for helping me in the store today."

Sun Chao looked at the package. His grandmother had brought it back to him before. Although it was only half, it was sweet and delicious. Sun Chao's eyes brightened. After taking the chocolate, he couldn't help but hug Ye Muqi.

This sister is beautiful and a very nice person. He likes her very much. He wishes the beautiful sister could stay in grandma’s shop forever!

"Thank you, sister!"

"You're welcome." Ye Muqi didn't know what Sun Chao was thinking, but just ruffled his hair with a gentle look.

This child is so adorable.

…

It was after noon when all the things prepared for the day were sold out. There were still some wontons and a few buns left, which Cai Dongmei gave to Ye Muqi, asking her to take them home to eat.

After cleaning the store, Ye Muqi ate the buns on the way back and put the wontons into the space, thinking that he could cook them for Rong Jingchen as breakfast later.

After returning home, Ye Muqi entered the space to choose food. Since he had said that he wanted to improve Rong Jingchen's diet, meat was definitely indispensable.

Moreover, Ye Muqi does not plan to cook the dishes he has cooked before again. For a week or so, Ye Muqi does not plan to have the same dishes on the table!

This is a chef's self-challenge!

Ye Muqi selected a chicken, picked out a piece of lean meat, took a fish and tofu, as well as some black fungus and vegetables before he made room and started busying himself in the kitchen.
