Boss Qian handed Lianxiang a towel; Lianxiang's hair was still wet.
"Thanks."
"Have you ever thought about opening a shop like your aunt? It would be better than setting up a stall like you."
Mr. Qian observed for a day, initially thinking it was just a small-scale operation, but he didn't expect Lianxiang to not only persevere but also do it quite well.
"Open a shop? I don't have that much money right now. I might as well continue with my stall instead of renting a shop."
Clearly, Lianxiang had considered this.
"Don't worry about the store. In fact, once you have a store and things are stable, it will be more beneficial for your business to grow. Right now, you don't even have enough to sell every day, but that's the most you can prepare."
Lianxiang nodded upon hearing this.
"You don't mind me doing business?"
Lianxiang asked the question she most wanted to ask.
"Why should I mind? I think you're doing a great job. Jia Bao lost her mother at a young age, but she's past the age where she needs her mother's careful care. She's reached the age where she needs a female role model to guide her."
"That's good. Rather than finding a good husband for Jiabao, I'd rather she be able to control her own destiny in the future, rather than rely on others. Jiabao's studies aren't great, but she's very quick-witted and well-suited to be a businesswoman."
Lianxiang was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and the way she looked at Boss Qian changed.
“You are a very different kind of father. No wonder Garbo grew up so well without a mother. You really love your daughter. Garbo is very lucky.”
Lianxiang's tone contained envy, but even more so, it conveyed a sense of relief.
This is what true love is—a true father who plans for his son's long-term future.
“I think your business can be expanded. Beijing is such a big city, your smoked chicken tastes very good, and you have a stable supply of goods. You can open a shop, hire people to do sales, build a reputation, and have people buy from you and sell the finished smoked chicken in other places. It’s entirely possible.”
Mr. Qian explained some business principles to Lianxiang in simple terms, little by little.
"Small profits but quick turnover. As long as the taste is guaranteed, just like those century-old brands, it's never too late for you to start now."
After that night, Lianxiang seemed to have an epiphany. She knew she could never have another child in her life. Her marriage had already been sacrificed for her parents once. She would always remember her aunt's family who had been kind to her.
What wouldn't she dare to do? The man in front of her was devoted to his daughter and had his own selfish motives, which he had made clear before they got married. She didn't care about what would happen after her death, so she could bravely do whatever she wanted to do now, and it would be enough if she had no regrets in the future.
Several children squatted together to dye the feathers they had chosen, but the first dyeing didn't turn out as well as they had imagined, and they all frowned.
"Feathers are different from paper and cloth. The same color can be dyed brightly on cloth and paper, but feathers have difficulty absorbing dye in water."
Wang Xing and Li Wen both realized the problem.
"Shall we go ask Grandma Wen?"
Wang Xing looked at Li Wen. The two of them were responsible for dyeing the feathers. Everyone had their own tasks: selecting feathers, making shuttlecocks, and so on.
The shuttlecock can be tied up and then dyed. There are too many feathers, and it takes quite a while to select the right ones.
The two children found Professor Wen and pulled him over.
"You just put it directly into the water to soak?"
Professor Wen looked at it and asked questions, and the two children nodded.
"There are a few minor issues in the process, but they are not difficult to resolve. The feathers need to be soaked in water first, the dye needs to be heated before use, and after dyeing, they need to be rinsed clean with water to ensure a good color that won't be dull."
"Do you want it heated?"
The two children never expected the problem to arise here.
"Yes, but you have to be careful. Heating is not the same as boiling. You have to control the temperature well."
Professor Wen explained the reasons to the two children in detail, and the two children immediately took action.
