But Li Yujiao refused after only thinking for a moment.

After running the stall for so long, she has already earned her first pot of gold. She is now full of confidence and doesn't want to go to work anymore!

What's more, she didn't know Young Master Chen and was afraid that he was not a good person!

Since he can give her such a high salary, I'm afraid his demands are also high.

If she can't do it, she will pack up and leave at any time.

"Master Chen, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't like being constrained. I prefer to set up a stall to be more free."

Young Master Chen continued to raise the stakes: "How about this, in addition to eight taels of silver, I will also provide you with a small courtyard to live in, so that you don't have to go out to the stall in the morning and evening, and it will be more convenient to take care of your paralyzed husband."

When Jing Qishan heard the words "paralyzed husband", his face immediately darkened and he said, "I will get better sooner or later, so don't worry about it, Master Chen. Besides, my wife will be able to earn enough money to buy a yard by setting up a stall sooner or later, so she doesn't care about your ugly things!"

Humph, recruiting a cook is fake, hooking up with a pretty young woman is real, right?

"Uh..." Young Master Chen was only in his thirties and was very sensitive about his reputation. He couldn't save face after being scolded by Jing Qishan.

The servant next to him couldn't help but scold him: "How dare you be so rude to our Young Master Chen, you paraplegic!"

Jing Qishan was about to retort, but was stopped by Li Yujiao: "Jing Qishan, don't be rude!"

Jing Qishan opened his mouth.

Well, he's not fully recovered yet, so it's not advisable to offend anyone.

It doesn't matter if he is retaliated against, but it would be bad if Li Yujiao was implicated.

Li Yujiao apologized to Master Chen on behalf of Jing Qishan: "Master Chen, my husband has been bedridden for a long time and doesn't talk much. Please don't bother with her!"

Young Master Chen left with contempt.

After walking a few steps, he looked back.

The servant said, "Young Master, that couple is so ungrateful!"

Young Master Chen waved his paper fan and said, "I'll buy a few more portions of hot and sour noodles and send them to the chefs at the restaurant. I'll make sure to crack the recipe for the hot and sour noodles!"

……

Perhaps inspired by Mr. Chen's family, Li Yujiao started looking for a house in the town.

Mr. Chen was right. It was too tiring to set up a stall every day, and the stall couldn’t last long. Once it rained, there was no business, and we were worried that the bread and hot and sour noodles would get wet.

If he had a fixed shop, he wouldn't have to set up the stall every morning and evening, nor would he have to travel so far to go to school. Wouldn't it be better if he could use the time he spent on the journey to study?

She calculated the money she had earned so far and found that after two months of running the stall, she had saved about eighty taels of silver.

A yard with a shop in the town only costs three taels of silver per month.

In this era, there are house agencies, which are similar to modern real estate agencies. You can entrust a house agency to help you find a house.

About ten days later, the housing agency selected four or five places for her. She carefully selected them and decided to rent the house near the bridge head.

The house was on the street. It had a shop and a living space in the backyard. There was a well in the middle of the yard, so people no longer had to fetch water every day. Li Yujiao was very satisfied with it.

On the day he went to sign the rental contract, Chun Ge was extremely excited.

There is an attic in the backyard of this house and four rooms that can be lived in. The rooms are very large and can not only accommodate beds, but also desks and bookcases. Students no longer have to go to the yard to do their homework.

Wang Erhua was also very happy.

Li Yujiao said that she could also live here, and that making money with Li Yujiao was better than raising chickens and selling eggs.

Only Jing Qishan was unhappy.

Because Li Yujiao let him live in a room alone!

When Li Yujiao said to him, "I have left the biggest room for you," he even refused to go in and take a look.

Li Yujiao couldn't help but ask: "Don't you like this room?"

He said disdainfully: "What is there for me to like about this bastard?"

"It's a little run-down now, but we're not going to move in right away, so we have to fix it up. Then you'll like this place."

Jing Qishan still said disdainfully: "No matter what, I can't live in a room alone. I'm not in good health."

Li Yujiao said, "If you are worried that no one will take care of you at night, you can sleep in the same room with Chun Ge."

Jing Qishan was annoyed: "Chun Ge is just a child. Besides, he has to go to class during the day. If I call him, wouldn't it be a hassle for him?"

Li Yujiao felt that this future traitor was still a little selfish. Chun Ge had to go to class during the day, and she also had to do business during the day. They were all human beings, so why should she take care of him?

"But you've been sleeping well at night lately. Besides, didn't you always dislike me living with you? Now that we have conditions, you can't keep relying on me?"

Jing Qishan was so angry that his chest heaved up and down: "You just want to get rid of me as soon as possible!"

Li Yujiao wondered, was her expression so obvious?

But she didn't coax him and just let him be angry.

……

As the house in the town has been vacant for two years and is already quite old, there is no furniture inside and the shop needs to be renovated, so it cannot be occupied for the time being.

She found Agui and Aping and asked them to come and help repair the house, add furniture, and make long tables and benches for the shop.

It would cost about ten taels of silver, but for the sake of business, she had no choice but to bear the pain and spend the huge sum of money.

Before the shop opened, she still set up the stall every day.

When she was setting up the stall, whenever a customer came to buy something, she would never tire of telling the customer that she was going to open a shop, right over at the bridge head, where she would sell flour, bread, and other snacks.

The same thing happened in the academy. As soon as the students came out, she told them that she wanted to open a shop.

The students felt very sorry. The fat boy who often came to patronize the store said while slurping his hot and sour noodles, "Young lady, you should set up a stall outside the door. I can't go to town to eat every day."

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "It's not far. Come when you have time. Walking more is good for your health."

When Song Ning came out, Li Yujiao also told him about this.

Song Ning really loves the food made by Li Yujiao. He buys bread every day. Now that there is hot and sour noodles, he has a bowl of hot and sour noodles with a piece of bread every day.

Sometimes while eating, he would secretly glance at Li Yujiao.

After Li Yujiao told him about this, he couldn't help but ask, "Did Miss Jing open a shop near the bridgehead in town?"

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "That's right, it's right there. Mr. Song can go there to eat after class. Just walk a few more steps and it will be considered exercise."

Song Ning nodded and said quickly: "Okay."

Behind him, Jing Qishan saw Li Yujiao and Song Ning talking and laughing, and he couldn't help but feel sulky again.

After so many days of observation, he found that Li Yujiao was more interested in scholars.

Otherwise, why did she reject the kindness of Mr. Chen? And why did she let Chun Ge go to school?

Isn't this a subconscious liking for people who read books?

Unfortunately, he was born a military general, and he only started reading a lot after he came to Beijing in his previous life. What he read were military books and conspiracy theories, and he had no idea about the whole world.

……

Li Yujiao was promoting her shop to Song Ning when suddenly a burst of terrified screams came from next door.

"He Yang fainted!"

"Mr. Song, come and save He Yang!"

Song Ning quickly put down the hot and sour noodles and ran over.

Li Yujiao, out of her instinct as a doctor, immediately ran over.

In front of a candied haws stall not far away, a group of children surrounded an unconscious child on the ground and anxiously called his name: "He Yang, He Yang, wake up!"

Seeing this, Song Ning immediately said, "He works at the town's medical clinic. Let's send him home right away!"

Song Ning was about to pick up the child named He Yang, but Li Yujiao said, "Don't worry, let me take a look!"

She squatted down and checked He Yang's breathing and pupils. Seeing that he was holding a string of unfinished candied haws in his hand, she couldn't help but make a conclusion: suffocation caused by food stuck in the trachea!

She quickly picked him up and punched him in the abdomen from behind.

"Young lady, what are you doing?" Song Ning asked nervously.

Li Yujiao said sternly: "There is something in his throat. If we delay any longer, he will die!"

After that, he continued to use the Heimlich maneuver to save the child.

The people around were stunned when they saw this.

"Is this baker crazy? There's something stuck in his throat. He should lower the child's head and pat the thing out!"

"She is the granddaughter of the old doctor in the clinic, but she refused to let him send her home and she is showing off here!"

Especially the stinky tofu uncle who had a feud with Li Yujiao before, he shouted the loudest and wanted everyone to attack Li Yujiao!
