Everything was ready. Li Shi didn't dawdle. She cleaned up the entire shop and added some decorations. Ye Shuang picked out and hung up many small ornaments. Li Shi felt that it wouldn't make any difference, so she didn't care.
On a sunny and auspicious day, the store officially opened for business.
Li Mantian was in charge of kneading the dough and greeting the guests, Li Shi was in charge of cooking the noodles and cleaning the tables, and Ye Shuang was in charge of collecting money.
Customers coming and going would see that little person in the store, who looked like a little adult. He was so short that he had to stand on a box to show half of his body. His hardworking little face behind the counter was incredibly endearing. His sensible way of greeting customers and calculating money was especially interesting, and customers would be more willing to pay.
"Young shopkeeper, how much is this for me?"
"Twenty-five coins for the mutton noodles, twenty coins for the poached egg, and the side dishes on the table are free. Is that alright?" Ye Shuang said with a smile from behind the counter.
"That's right, that's amazing. Take these five coins and buy some snacks."
...
The county often showed great leniency towards such sensible children, and it was common for them to be given a few extra coins.
Even Li Mantian had to admit that the people in the county under Li Wenyi's rule lived happily, which was why they had spare money to play with their children.
Ye Shuang toyed with the small wooden gourd on the counter. It was made of ten-thousand-year-old peach wood. Others would use it to ward off evil and disaster, but using it to attract wealth would be a waste of its potential.
She didn't have many such items, but this little gourd was the most auspicious for attracting wealth, and it was the most suitable to place on the counter.
The effect looks exceptionally good now, so this good stuff wasn't wasted.
Ye Shuang smiled as she counted the money and put it in the small box. She was in an exceptionally good mood. Was this the feeling of keeping one's achievements hidden? You must know that in the cultivation world, every word she said was priceless, the kind that money couldn't buy.
The shop opened smoothly, and Li Shi and Li Mantian were in a good mood. The grain at home was gradually turned into silver, and the initial investment in the shop was not only quickly recovered, but it also started to make a profit early on.
With the money I had saved up, I had enough to buy the yard next door.
It just so happens that the people next door are also moving out, and this house is looking for a new owner!
Li kept calculating, thinking that she couldn't spend all the money at once. She had to keep some in case of emergency. Before, she used the family's grain, which had little cost, so it seemed like money was easy to earn. Only when the grain ran out and she had to buy from outside could she see if she could make money.
Li Mantian also felt that it was a bit too early to consider buying a house at this time. However, Li Shi pulled Li Mantian back into the room for a long talk, and when they came out, he had changed his mind.
While everyone was in the main room, Li Mantian started discussing the purchase of the house next door, and then said earnestly and meaningfully, "Such opportunities are rare. Since we've encountered one, we should seize it."
Li Wenyi was somewhat absent-minded. Upon hearing this, he simply nodded and said, "It's fine as long as Father and Mother make the decision. If the money isn't enough, I've saved up some of my salary over the past few months."
Li Mantian felt that this boy was truly clueless. How could he have given birth to such a stupid son? So he said somewhat irritably, "What use is your money? You should save your money for your future wife!"
Hearing this, not only Li Wenyi, but even Ye Shuang, holding the bowl, felt a little guilty. Well... anyway, she is Li Shuang, so what does what Ye Shuang did have to do with her?
