Besides sharing the rent, he could also fire the two waiters in the shop while he and his wife work.

After reducing the cost, his restaurant could still make a profit.

This young lady was also serious about sharing the rent. They would be neighbors in the future, so it was not a big deal for him to help her.

Anyway, her shop would be next to his, so he was not worried that she would not return the money.

“That’s great! Thank you, Uncle Qin!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly thanked him.

The three-month rent was 12 taels in total. Borrowing 10 taels of silver from her mother, plus the money she had, it was more than enough.

The rest of the money for the shop’s renovation and the deposit didn’t need to be paid in one go. She could pay him as she earned more money.

…..

At the moment, her cold cake business was making 3 to 4 taels of silver a day. It should be enough to sustain this.

“You’re welcome,” Mr. Qin replied with a smile.

“That’s it then. Come over here before noon tomorrow, I’ll make an appointment with the landlord to sign the contract.”

“Deal!” Lin Xiaoyue agreed readily.

Then, she chatted with Mr. Qin for a while more before leaving.

The two of them went out and got on the ox-cart. Li Xiao rode it to the grocery store.

This time, Lin Xiaoyue bought another 20 wooden buckets.

After that, the three of them went to the grain store.

After buying loo catties of polished rice, Lin Xiaoyue went to Mr. Jin and ordered 500 catties of polished rice to be sent directly to Dais.h.i.+ Village.

The way Mr. Jin looked at Lin Xiaoyue was like he was looking at the G.o.d of Fortune.

After writing down the address, he said that he would arrange for it to be delivered tomorrow morning.

After doing all this, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart was at ease.

“To renovate the shop, we need to hire someone to build the wall, and we also need a carpenter and a few other workers.” Lin Xiaoyue muttered.

“I’ll go to Uncle Sun and ask him to help. In addition, I’ll also ask Aunt Sun if Uncle Jiang is free.” Li Xiao said.

A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he said, “1’11 be in charge of the renovation.”

Other than the two children, everyone else was busy.

His mother-in-law and Yue’er were busy, and they were women.

“As for finding work at the dock…” Lin Xiaoyue did not want to delay Li Xiao’s plans.

“There’s no hurry at the dock.” Li Shao said.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao and did not ask further.

“Alright,” she said.

“Why don’t you ask my husband to help too?” Aunt w.a.n.g suddenly said.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Alright!” She agreed.

They chatted about the shop’s renovation along the way, and the three of them quickly returned to Dais.h.i.+ Village.

When she got home, Lin Xiaoyue found out that w.a.n.g Shuanzi had actually sold 12 buckets of cold cakes in the afternoon.

Liu s.h.i.+ also almost sold out all the cold cakes at home.

“According to what you said in the afternoon, I soaked a total of 60 catties of rice this time. After we eat, we’ll make the cold cakes!” Liu s.h.i.+’s eyes were full of smiles.

“After dinner, we’ll come and help too!” Aunt w.a.n.g said.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Aunt w.a.n.g.

“You don’t have to come tonight. Since Li Xiao is back, we can do it ourselves! You’ve had a long day, and you still have to take care of Erya when you get back.”

“I’m fine! She has actually recovered, but the redness on her face has not subsided. I think she’ll come over to help the day after tomorrow!” Aunt w.a.n.g said.

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up, but it faded quickly.

“I’m indeed short of manpower, but wait for Erya to fully recover!”

“Aiya, she really is fine! It’s just that her face was injured and she’s embarra.s.sed! It’s not a problem for her to come and help!”
