Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Noah was right about this.

Qi Yuan was very pleased to hear him say that he would repay the debt.

As an orphan and a boxer, he has a strong personality and pride, making it difficult for him to accept unconditional giving from others.

Furthermore, the fat chef at the restaurant today called him a prostitute.

He then became even more eager to prove his abilities.

Even if he started from scratch, with his intelligence, he could have made a living by opening a restaurant.

Even if running a restaurant doesn't support him, he can go into boxing.

He has skills, so even if he never gets to live in the Davis family’s palace-like house, he won’t starve!

As night deepened, the wind and snow outside intensified.

The whistling wind sounded like a baby crying, which was rather eerie.

Qi Yuan returned to his room.

He sat on the warm bed and moved his left hand, which was covered in a cast.

He fell down the stairs and his right foot was the most seriously injured.

My right foot hurts so much that even the bones and tendons ache when I put a little force on it, but my left hand isn't sprained much. Although it hurts when I put force on it, I can easily clench and open my fist.

Removing the plaster cast should be fine.

He thought to himself: Tomorrow I'll talk to the housekeeper about removing the cast from my hand and have him schedule an appointment with the family doctor.

After thinking about it, he picked up the paper and pen on the bedside table.

I picked up a pen and paper and started thinking about what I should prepare for the restaurant tomorrow.

Write down the desserts, dishes, and drinks on paper and pen.

Just as I finished writing, the door to the room opened.

He was no longer surprised to see Noah enter.

Habits are truly a terrible thing. Since he got used to Noah coming to see him every night, no matter how early or late, he no longer had the initial vigilance and resistance.

"What are you writing?"

Noah leaned closer, his hands behind his back.

Qi Yuan generously showed him what he had written, which was only half-finished.

Noah glanced at what was written above and suddenly understood.

"It turns out it was about what items the restaurant would sell."

"Can you give me some advice?" Qi Yuan asked. "I don't eat desserts, but you all love them, so I'm thinking of selling a few desserts that the people of Juecheng love in the restaurant."

A restaurant can't rely solely on congee and hot pot to make money. What if the people of Juecheng don't like it? Just because Noah and the others like it doesn't mean that all the people of the North Continent will like it. People's tastes vary even when living in the same region.

Furthermore, beverages and desserts are also among the money-making items in a restaurant.

Therefore, ordering drinks and desserts is also a must.

"In Juecheng, there are few fruits available in winter, with apples, pears, and apricots being the most common. Apples are the most frequently used in desserts, and they are the most popular among the people of Juecheng. Therefore, you could focus on selling apple-based desserts. In addition, apricot wine, grape wine, apple cider, and wheat beer are the most popular alcoholic beverages among the people of Juecheng, while apple juice is the most popular drink among children. The lemon tea you made tonight was very good, with a sweet and sour taste that children and women would likely enjoy, making it a good option as a main beverage."

Noah spoke in a serious tone, and Qi Yuan took out his pen and wrote down everything he said.

Noah lowered his head slightly, looking at Qi Yuan's serious and handsome profile, and unexpectedly kissed Qi Yuan's cheek.

Qi Yuan was startled by his actions. He touched the spot where Noah had kissed him and stared blankly at him, unable to utter a single word.

The child was completely terrified.

Why would Noah, who always respected him, suddenly kiss his cheek secretly?

"Why are you looking at me like that? You owe me so much money today, can't I ask for some interest?"

Noah spoke confidently and without the slightest guilt, "Besides, we Northerners greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, what's the big deal?"

"You guys really know how to kiss?" Qi Yuan asked doubtfully.

"meeting."

"Why haven't I seen you kiss Kyle?"

"Different statuses."

Most people in the North Continent would kiss each other on the cheek when they met, but because Noah was of high status, everyone bowed their heads and bent their waists respectfully when they saw him.

Noah worries that if someone is qualified to kiss him on the cheek, he might stab them with a knife.

The only person Noah greeted with such an intimate gesture was the deceased old man from the Davis family; he never greeted anyone like that again after that.

Qi Yuan was stumped by his answer and didn't know how to reply. He frowned and continued writing down what Noah had just said. As soon as Noah made the slightest move while he wrote a word, he would immediately turn his head and look on alert.

Noah was amused by his actions. "Are you that scared? It was just a kiss on the cheek."

Qi Yuan wanted to say: Indulgence is the most terrible thing. If you let someone kiss your cheek now and don't resist, who knows where they'll kiss you next time.

Even with interest, I will still pay you back.

"Hmm, really? Take a look at this."

Noah handed the bill to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan took the bill and was stunned when he saw the total.

The restaurant hasn't even opened yet, and it's already cost 250,000 yuan.

Upon closer examination, every expenditure appears to be reasonable.

The biggest problem is that he bought so many things from the shop, but they wouldn't give him a discount!

"This is just for today. If the restaurant wants to sell desserts, you'll need to hire a pastry chef, pay the staff's salaries, and place orders for alcoholic beverages. All of this will conservatively cost around 300,000."

The bill is expensive because of the repair shop.

Because Qi Yuan bought a lot of products from Dongzhou. Goods from other continents might only sell for 8 yuan in Dongzhou, but the price could rise to 32 yuan in Beizhou.

The bill weighed heavily on Qi Yuan, but he stubbornly insisted, "Even if I owe you 500,000, I can work to pay it back."

“Ah Yuan, I’m the creditor. I’ll take whatever interest rate I want. You’re the one who borrowed the money, so just obey.” Noah’s attitude was a bit tough now. He muttered, “We’ve already kissed, and you’re still being stubborn.”

Qi Yuan was speechless after being confronted by that last sentence, and he stopped being stubborn, tacitly agreeing that he didn't have to pay interest.

Noah then asked, "Yuan, I think the restaurant can operate without you for tonight's dinner?"

"If I teach them, the employees will know how to do it, and I won't be needed."

Noah was delighted to hear this answer.

What he really meant was that Qi Yuan wouldn't be staying at the restaurant every day, which saved him a lot of worry.

"Ah Yuan, can I find a few handsome boys?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback and looked at him in confusion, "Why are you asking me?"

"I'll find someone to keep you company, read books with you, cook delicious food, and so on."

The original intention was to divert attention from outsiders. Relying on just one Xiu would definitely not be enough. Finding several more would make outsiders think he was promiscuous, so they wouldn't specifically target Qi Yuan for trouble.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan felt that Noah wanted to find some handsome boys to play with him, using him as an excuse. However, given his relationship with Noah, even if Noah found ten, he had no right to refuse, so he could only say, "Whatever."

"Then I'll have Kyle handle it tomorrow. Ah Yuan, how much longer are you going to write? It's time to go to sleep..."

Noah was speaking when the door creaked open.

The two of them looked towards the door.

Little Petty stood outside the door, hugging a plush bear, her eyes red and swollen.

"Brother Qiyuan, the wind outside is so scary. Can I sleep with you tonight?"
