Jiang Bai was deeply moved by Zhao Yi's words. The next day, she specially made a large box of Chicken McNuggets for Zhao Yi to take away as a snack.
Seeing Zhao Yi's overjoyed expression, Jiang Bai sighed: "So what if he's fat? He exercises a lot, so it's still within the normal range. We can tolerate it. Besides, there's nothing we can do if we can't tolerate it. What else can we do but get a divorce?"
She was decisive and, after deciding to buy back the medicinal cuisine restaurant, she immediately prepared the necessary banknotes and took them to Wang Zhongyi's courtyard.
At this time, the shop was still open, but there were no customers inside. Aunt Wang and Madam Wang sat dejectedly in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Jiang Bai enter, both of them perked up. Aunt Wang said, "I'll go and call Zhongyi back." Wang Zhongyi was at the Hongding Restaurant.
Madam Wang wiped the dust off her hands on her apron and smiled ingratiatingly at Jiang Bai: "Madam Zhao, you've arrived."
Jiang Bai smiled and said gently, "Don't call me Madam Zhao, just look for me, Jiang Bai."
Madam Wang probably relied on Wang Zhongyi for her livelihood, and therefore felt that all women should be honored to be called so-and-so's wife by taking their husband's surname. So her way of addressing Jiang Bai was a way of flattering her. But Jiang Bai had earned everything through her own hard work, and she didn't want to be seen as Zhao Yi's appendage in other people's eyes.
Madam Wang paused for a moment, then called out "Jiang Bai".
They stood in silence for a while, then Madam Wang said, "How about I show you around first?"
Jiang Bai nodded.
The two of them looked around the entire yard again. When they got to the kitchen, Jiang Bai realized that there were no ingredients at all. Even if guests came, the two of them couldn't make the dishes the guests wanted.
Seeing Jiang Bai's expression, Madam Wang awkwardly explained, "I've already told all the customers that we're closing the shop." She had left the door open, waiting for Jiang Bai to come over.
Jiang Bai didn't say anything more.
After walking around and sitting down again, Madam Wang smiled and said, "Your original design is basically still there; we didn't make any changes." Nor did we have the money to make any changes.
Jiang Bai replied, "It's fine."
Madam Wang then said, "Do you have any objections to the price? We can discuss everything."
Jiang Bai glanced at the roof, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can pay you the price you offered, but I have one condition..."
"What are your requirements?" Madam Wang asked earnestly.
Jiang Bai lowered his eyes and said seriously, "I want you to bring back all the guys you drove away before."
"Okay." These were the two words spoken by Wang Zhongyi.
He overheard the last conversation as he entered, and before Madam Wang could hesitate, he immediately agreed.
The money lost by the medicinal cuisine restaurant put a lot of pressure on Madam Wang, but only Wang Zhongyi knew that Hongding Restaurant was also in dire straits and he urgently needed money to cover his debts, otherwise the restaurant would have to change hands.
Under these circumstances, he would agree to any unreasonable request Jiang Bai made, let alone a simple request to find someone.
Jiang Bai asked, "How long will it take you?" Finding everyone back one by one won't be easy.
Wang Zhongyi answered with certainty, "The day after tomorrow at the latest."
“Okay, I’ll come over the day after tomorrow. If everyone is here, we’ll sign the deed and transfer the property.” Jiang Bai finished discussing with the Wang family and then left.

Wang Zhongyi really has some skills. When Jiang Bai arrived on the third morning, all the employees of the medicinal cuisine restaurant were sitting in the courtyard, including the "golden boy and jade girl" and several employees from the milk tea shop.
Jiang Bai asked incredulously, "Don't you guys work at the bubble tea shop?"
Jin Tong wasn't afraid when he saw Jiang Bai. He shrugged and said, "Boss Wang said we can take a day off and he'll give us three days' wages in return."
The more of these sure-fire, profitable businesses the better, so their entire group arrived.
Yu Nu couldn't help but sigh, "Not to mention us, even Xiao Li, who's getting married tomorrow, was brought along by Boss Wang."
Jiang Bai's eyes widened: "Getting married is the most important thing!"
Xiaoli stood up and said with a wronged expression, "My family forced me to get married. I don't want to."
The golden couple also encouraged each other in the narration: "It's okay, if you don't want to get married, then don't. Continue working at the medicinal cuisine restaurant and earn your own living."
Jiang Bai clutched her chest; she was so angry at these brats that she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
—The authorities probably won't arrest her on the grounds of abducting a new bride, will they?
Wang Zhongyi rubbed his hands together and leaned closer to Jiang Bai, asking, "Is the number of people correct?"
“That’s right.” Jiang Bai said weakly, but he admired Wang Zhongyi from the bottom of his heart.
She took out a silver note from her bosom, handed it over, and then looked at the contract that Wang Zhongyi had someone write. Seeing that there were no problems, she signed it.
Two copies were made, and the payment was settled in cash.
The Wang family has already moved out. Jiang Bai explained the current situation to everyone, then clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself: "So, the task now is to open up the space next door, renovate it, and then we can open for business."
"During this time, please help supervise the progress of the renovation. Those who do not have a place to stay temporarily can stay here."
After assigning all the tasks, Jiang Bai looked at everyone's radiant faces and felt a little relieved.

At that time, Jiang Bai spent half a month renovating Wang Zhongyi's courtyard. Zhao Yi bought a larger courtyard next door, which Jiang Bai originally planned to complete in half a month to twenty days. However, after only ten days, the enthusiastic crowd announced that everything was over.
Just kidding. Although there are wages for renovations now, it's only a basic salary.
Once the business opens, there will be performance-based rewards. Not to mention anything else, they can take a cut of the customers' tips alone.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the golden couple only stood at the door; they received the most silver. Why? Because they were good-looking!
This has led to competition within the medicinal cuisine restaurant, with almost everyone dressing up before starting work. Even the boys keep their nails neatly trimmed, wash their hair every day, and sometimes even use their mothers' or wives' skincare products to apply.
These guys, just standing there, without saying a word, are a beautiful sight to behold.
From the day Jiang Bai bought back the courtyard of the medicinal cuisine restaurant, the milk tea shop started advertising. When Jiang Bai chose an auspicious day, the milk tea shop even shouted the opening date as a slogan.
The handsome young man and beautiful young woman stood at the entrance of the milk tea shop, calling out to everyone they met. Fortunately, they were good-looking and had sweet voices, so everyone loved listening to them talk.
So much so that on the day Anle Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant reopened, the alley was packed with people, even more bustling than when it was at its peak.
Little did Jiang Bai know that ever since she started renovating, men and women alike couldn't help but spread the word: Jiang Bai is going to start selling medicinal cuisine again, and your daughter/daughter-in-law/wife's belly is saved!
When she stood at the door and unveiled the plaque, everyone's eyes were filled with admiration.
The Guanyin statue, which grants children, has finally reopened!
