It was already past dinner time, and it would have been better if they hadn't said anything. Now that they were idle, their stomachs were growling with hunger.

Jiang Shian touched his stomach and said, "It's getting late, let's have lunch first. This shop needs people, I'll watch over it, you go eat first and bring me some when you come back."

As he said this, he counted out a hundred coins from the box and handed them to Ji Yinghuai. A simple meal wouldn't cost that much, but if you need to buy something on a daily basis, it would be more convenient for a man to have money in his hands.

The scattered copper coins filled most of the wooden box. After they were all counted and tied together, there were more than 2,000 coins in total.

The silver from the prey added up to more than nine taels. With this calculation, the rent of the shop and the original investment of the toothpaste and toothbrush were recovered in just one day.

Ji Yinghuai's hand paused for a moment as he took the copper coin, thinking of the dozens of taels of silver in his arms.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and explained lamely to Jiang Shian's stunned gaze, "The change I gave you just now was from the sale of pheasants and rabbits, and these twenty taels were from the sale of a wild boar."

Jiang Shian was looking at the huge silver ingot and was a little dazed.

Seeing that he did not reach out to take it, Ji Yinghuai directly put the ingot as big as his fist into the money box.

In comparison, the copper coins in the box don’t seem interesting at all.

Jiang Shian couldn't help but twitch his lips. This man thought he was stupid. A small wild boar like that would only be worth four or five taels of silver at most. Ji Yinghuai had just handed him seven taels of silver. That was the money from all the prey.

Such a big ingot of silver-shining gold ingot, it is twenty taels of gold ingot.

"You..." He opened his mouth and uttered a word, hesitated for a while, and finally swallowed the second half of the words back into his stomach.

No matter how he got it, looking at the man's appearance and temperament, it is impossible that he had robbed or stolen it.

He would eat his food and live in his house. This money could be regarded as capital for his business. When he made money in the future, he would give Ji Yinghuai a big red envelope.

"Then I'll take it for now. Well, you go eat first. I saw that the wontons on the street were selling well this morning. Can you bring some to me later?"

"Okay!" Ji Yinghuai responded with a smile.

Seeing the unnatural expression on his face, a smile flashed across her eyes, and she stood up and left the shop.

The boy's thoughts were all written on his face. He couldn't hide any secrets at all. He was obviously suspicious and curious, but he still suppressed his suspicion.

There were people coming and going in Jiang Shian's shop all morning. Although no one knew how much was sold, it was very lively. Several shop owners nearby were a little jealous and gathered together to whisper.

"Look at this young man, he's really amazing. There have been a lot of people in the shop this morning. I'm really jealous of him."

"No, but the thing he sells is indeed a novelty."

"If this is really good, we can ask the carpenter to make some and put them in the shop. If he can buy them, then we can also..."

"It's already past time. They just opened their business. You are slapping them in the face."

"Hey, look at what you're saying, it's as if my shop has a new style, and yours has been available a few days ago, don't pretend to be so generous."

"Bullshit, that design was obviously first produced by my shop, and it was thought up by the embroiderer in my workshop. What you say is yours is yours..."

It was past mealtime and there were few people sitting in the snack bar eating.

The vendors were eating breakfast while no one was around.

Ji Yinghuai ordered two servings of wontons. Ordinary small vendors did not have food boxes like in restaurants, and he did not want to sit here to eat, so he asked the other party to fill two bowls, pointed to the location of the stall, and said he would come back to return the bowls and chopsticks later.

The small vendor nodded. He had seen the newly opened shop in the morning and had gone there to join in the fun. Of course he recognized the man in front of him.

After paying sixteen cents, Ji Yinghuai walked into the shop, holding a bowl in each hand.

Although the wontons don't have as much meat filling as the ones I make myself, the soup is delicious. There are more than ten wontons in one serving, which is enough to fill you up.

Business was slower in the afternoon than in the morning, and all in all, we only sold about a hundred units.

More than half of the wooden shelves that had been filled in the morning were empty, and seeing that it was almost dark, the two men closed the shop and prepared to go back.

I have to go to Doctor Wang and Carpenter Yang's home in the evening. Business is good and things are in short supply, so I'd better tell them earlier and prepare them early.

Jiang Shian was in a good mood all the way back with the heavy cash box in his pocket.

The fermented tofu has been pickled for almost half a month. I will go back and take two pieces from the jar to try. If they are edible, I will set up a small stall outside the shop.

This can be eaten with rice or as a stir-fry, so I think it should sell well.

Thinking of the indispensable condiment in hot pot soup base and dipping sauce, Jiang Shian felt a little regretful. When he had enough money saved, he could plan to open a few hot pot restaurants.

Fresh ways of eating, various soup bases plus fresh dipping sauces, you don’t have to worry about not making money.

He was thinking happily in his heart, and was in such a good mood that even when he looked at the back of Ji Yinghuai driving in front of him, he exclaimed in his heart, "How handsome."

When I got home, it was almost evening.

The branches of the peach tree swayed in the wind, and as the peach petals fell, dozens of chickens and ducks found a place in the corner of the yard to rest.

The two bought some vegetables at the market, and Jiang Shian also went to the butcher's shop to buy some large bones, planning to stew some meat tonight.

Before, Ji Yinghuai accompanied him to Carpenter Yang to order toothbrushes, and Carpenter Yang also knew Ji Yinghuai.

Using this borrowed carriage, Ji Yinghuai delivered the pig hair and other things he had collected in the village two days ago to Carpenter Yang.

Jiang Shian cleaned the bones, cooked them over a fire, and went to Doctor Wang's house with the copper coins.

There are still two hundred boxes left from the previous order, so now in addition to picking up the goods, we have to make some more.

When he arrived, Doctor Wang and his family were having dinner. Doctor Wang was now a man with many children and grandchildren, and the family was sitting around the table happily. When they saw him coming, Grandma Wang quickly asked him to go back to the house for dinner.

"Hey, Shi An is here, come sit inside quickly, your uncle Wang was just talking about you coming to get the remaining 200 boxes of tooth powder today!"

As the two of them walked into the house, she hurriedly asked her eldest daughter-in-law to add another set of bowls and chopsticks, and the second daughter-in-law was about to stand up and give the stool to Jiang Shian to sit on.

The kids eating at the table looked at Jiang Shian with smiles on their faces and called him "Brother Shian" one after another.

Although Doctor Wang has medical skills, he is just a barefoot doctor and does not have much money to open a pharmacy in town. Over the years, the money he earned from treating patients in several surrounding villages can only supplement his family expenses, and he cannot save much.

His three sons only knew a few words and had no talent for medicine. They were just farmers. His grandchildren were quite intelligent, but they were still young. Now they wanted to go to school in town, but they couldn't even afford it. They could only learn some words and simple herbs from him.

There were more than ten people in the family, and although they were not starving or freezing, they were still a little tight. Jiang Shian had received such a big business, and he had already been given five taels of silver as a deposit, not to mention that he had said that if the sales were good, he could continue to do business, and he would continue to provide money for tooth powder, and he would also get some dividends if he made more money.

There were two more meat dishes on the dinner table tonight. The whole family was satisfied with the meal and they respected Doctor Wang even more.

The children hadn't eaten meat for more than half a year. They saw Jiang Shian coming to give them copper coins that day. Seeing it again, they were so happy that they kept wiping their mouths.
