"Dad, Mom, I prepared 100 servings of fried rice today, and they all sold out. The total revenue was 194."
Based on today's situation, business will be good in the future, and we can sell at least a hundred servings every day.
You can also run a barbecue business at night; the food is delicious and you won't have to worry about selling it.
Exactly, I definitely can't handle it all by myself.
"I want to discuss something with you. Why don't you stop working on the construction site and start a business with me?" Liu Yihang took out the bundle of loose change from the box and handed it to Lin's mother.
Lin Guihua's eyes lit up when she heard the price of 194 yuan.
Two hundred a day, thirty days a month, that's six thousand. Even if you deduct half the cost, you can still make a net profit of three thousand.
That's nine hundred more than their combined salaries.
Not to mention that the cost of his son's fried rice business is less than half of what it used to be.
Making money in business must be incredibly lucrative.
Liu Xiangdong hesitated. He was worried about the future of the business. What if business didn't go well? If he went back to the foreman, he wouldn't want him anymore.
Liu Yihang knew their worries and concerns.
"My main concern is that I need to teach my dad how to do it as soon as possible. In a little over a month, I'll be going to school and won't be able to set up a stall every day anymore. The family's livelihood will then fall on your shoulders." Liu Yihang added fuel to the fire.
Lin Guihua thought about it and realized that made sense. She knew how delicious her son's fried rice was. No matter where you do business, you rely on a skill.
If Xiang Dong could also make such delicious fried rice, they could set up a stall to support their son's education.
Working on a construction site is the same day after day, and it's the same day after a lifetime: dirty, hard, and tiring.
It's better to do business.
Most importantly, when doing business outside, all the money earned is yours, and you don't have to be controlled by your mother-in-law.
The other sisters-in-law all have hidden savings. Don't think she doesn't know. The couple works like slaves for the family year after year, but they don't have a single penny in their pockets.
Her in-laws' actions this time really broke her heart. She had always been tolerant of them for the sake of her child's education.
Unexpectedly, at the last minute, the parents-in-law told them to find a way to pay for the child's tuition themselves. You should know that over the years, every penny they earned was given to the mother-in-law to save for the child's education.
Thinking about all this, Lin Guihua made up her mind that she would keep the money in her own hands from now on and never place her hopes on others again.
Liu Xiangdong had come to terms with it; his son would have to go to school sooner or later, and he would have to keep the business running.
They are not particularly short of money now, and they also have the opportunity to try and fail.
The couple exchanged a glance and made their decision.
"Alright then, why don't we take this opportunity to talk to the foreman, settle the bill, and move out? That way, we can help our son with his stall tomorrow too?"
"I think that's a good idea. Let's go check if the foreman is asleep."
When the family returned to the construction site, the foreman was still awake. They politely explained their situation to him.
This foreman is actually a kind-hearted person.
Not only did they pay them their wages for last month, but they also added up the remaining days to make up a full month's wages.
The three of them received a total of 2,100 yuan.
Lin Guihua took the money and thanked him profusely.
Liu Yihang and Liu Xiangdong also thanked the foreman for his help and care over the past month.
They understood that the foreman was simply doing Liu Yihang a favor by giving him a chance after he got into Tianzhou University.
This outcome can be considered an amicable parting.
After informing Uncle Lin, the family carried their simple belongings back to their rented room.
Liu Yihang gave his bed to his parents and found a piece of cardboard to lay down on the floor to sleep.
Fortunately, it's the height of summer, so sleeping on the floor isn't cold.
The family chatted happily about the little things in life.
Liu Xiangdong and his wife felt that their hard times were finally over.
Liu Yihang closed his eyes happily. Starting over, he finally escaped the shadows of his previous life, and everything was moving in the direction he had hoped for.
He wasn't afraid of hardship or exhaustion; what he feared was not seeing a hopeful future.

The next morning.
Last night's meal was too greasy, so the family got up early this morning to cook porridge, which was served with pickled radishes made by Lin Guihua herself. It had a unique flavor.
Liu Yihang took Liu Xiangdong with him, and the father and son rode a tricycle to the nearest vegetable market to buy various kinds of meat and vegetables for their stall that evening.
Lin Guihua was at home preparing various side dishes for her lunch stall.
Wash some, cut some.
It was incredibly simple for her, much easier than being a laborer on a construction site.
There's still time after we're done, so we'll clean the room and wash and hang up the dirty clothes that the father and son changed out of yesterday.
On Liu Yihang's side, the father and son compared prices at three different stores and chose one with reasonable prices and a full range of goods.
After discussing it with the boss for a long time and agreeing to supply them on a long-term basis, the boss finally agreed to sell to them at wholesale prices.
On the first day of testing the waters, Liu Yihang took ten pounds of pork belly, one pound of beef, two pounds of mutton, three packs of frozen squid, three packs of frozen chicken wings, four pounds of chicken gizzards, four pounds of chicken hearts, and two boxes of ham sausages.
Based on wholesale prices, these items cost a total of about sixty-five yuan.
The father and son put their things in the tricycle and continued browsing the market, eventually finding a shop with fresh produce.
We purchased potatoes, green peppers, chives, shiitake mushrooms, eggplants, braised tofu, dried tofu, corn, scallions, and other vegetables.
I bought two boxes of bamboo skewers wholesale.
It cost a total of fifteen yuan.
Today's procurement cost: eighty yuan.
The father and son arrived home close to 10 p.m.
The family began to prepare the meat and vegetables. Liu Xiangdong was in charge of washing and cleaning, while Liu Yihang and Lin Guihua were in charge of cutting the meat.
There was only one knife at home, and Liu Yihang remembered the set of knives the system had given him yesterday.
He found a handy knife, took it out, and lied that he had bought it before.
I must say, the knife the system gave me is really useful.
Cutting meat is effortless, as simple as cutting tofu; the pork belly is sliced into thin, translucent pieces.
Even Lin Guihua, who has been the head chef at home for many years, is ashamed of her own cooking skills.
Actually, not only is the knife easy to use, but Liu Yihang himself has also practiced knife skills.
Slice the pork belly, dice the beef and mutton, and slice the gizzard. Then marinate them with different seasonings. The marinade is a recipe he used in his previous life. After marinating, they taste even better when grilled.
The other meat doesn't need to be cut; just skewer it directly.
However, it was too late for them now, and they could only wait until they returned in the afternoon to do the rest.
As usual, Liu Yihang made three servings of fried rice to feed his family before setting off.
Today he not only added eggs, but also minced meat to the fried rice, which was a nice improvement on his diet.
The three of them ate their fill and loaded all the tools onto the tricycle, ready to set off.
Liu Yihang couldn't carry anything too heavy by himself, so Liu Xiangdong took Lin Guihua with him on his bicycle.
When the three arrived at the open space, it was exactly eleven o'clock, and the other four families had already arrived.
Their seats were, as usual, hung in the corner.
