Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

The moment the thought crossed Li Cui's mind, her face flushed red.

Before she could finish her wild thoughts, Qin Fang, who was standing beside her, said angrily:

"Oh, Li Cui, so you were lying to me all along. I was so worried about you."

"I'll scratch you to death!"

After saying that, she reached out and started tickling Li Cui.

Li Cui was most afraid of being tickled, so she quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Good sister, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Seeing the two women playfully bickering, Liang Ming shook his head and chuckled, then turned to Liang Juan and asked:

"Aunt, when you accompanied Li Cui to get a divorce, did Li Wu agree to it so readily?"

"At first, I wasn't so willing. When I saw Li Cui take out 600 yuan, I even wanted to go back on my word."

Liang Juan shook her head and said:

"As luck would have it, Li Wu happened to run into several creditors from the gambling table who were demanding money from him, threatening to break his legs if he didn't pay."

"Li Wu had no choice but to agree to divorce Li Cui. The 600 yuan was divided up by the creditors shortly after it was in his hands."

At this point, Liang Juan sighed, "Li Wu has now lost both his money and his lover."

Liang Ming was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He never expected that Li Wu would run into his creditor so coincidentally.

However, if Li Wu hadn't run into his creditors today, he might not have been able to get a divorce so easily.

"No matter what, Li Cui is finally free from her suffering. From now on, you and Qin Fang should take good care of her."

Liang Ming said.

“We will,” Liang Juan nodded.

After Li Cui's matter was resolved, the braised duck shop returned to normal.

In the following days, all 200 braised ducks sold at the braised duck shop were sold out by the afternoon.

Aunt Liang Juan has also basically mastered the process of making and selling braised duck.

Liang Ming has more to do.

Every morning, we have to deliver duck feathers to the sports equipment factory.

At noon, I need to deliver braised duck to the steel plant, Xiangmanlou Restaurant, and the county's No. 1 Middle School.

In the afternoon, the lychees purchased from the villagers were delivered to Liangji Canned Food Factory.

In addition to these, we also need to deliver mountain produce, river delicacies, and cottonseed oil.

The canned lychees from the supply and marketing cooperative were delivered by people from the factory, so he didn't need to worry about it.

"Auntie, this is your braised duck shop!"

That day, Liang Ming led his aunt Liang Juan to the privately-run vegetable market in the county town and said to her:

"All the kitchenware and tableware have been prepared for you!"

"You know where the ducks are supplied; it's from the Stone Village I took you to last time."

"Just tell Village Chief Zhang how many ducks you need, and he will give you the ducks at the price he gave me."

“It might be too tiring for you to run this braised duck shop by yourself. You can hire two more employees and work with them.”

Liang Ming told Liang Juan everything he could think of.

When he was little, his aunt often saved the best food for him.

Now that I have the ability, I naturally hope to help my aunt do business and live a good life.

"Xiaoming, thank you for introducing your aunt to this braised duck business."

Liang Juan said to Liang Ming seriously:

"We must not forget the well-digger when we drink the water. Since you don't want your aunt's franchise fee, from now on, 20% of the profits from my braised duck shop will belong to my sister-in-law."

"Auntie, there's no need for that..." Liang Ming was about to politely decline when he heard this.

"Xiaoming, this profit is for your mother, not for you. You can't refuse it."

Liang Juan waved her hand to interrupt Liang Ming, and said:

"Besides, your parents used to save money and spend it all on you. This money of mine can also make their lives a little better."

“Auntie, I’m earning money now, so I can give my parents money to spend,” Liang Ming said with a helpless smile.

“How can that be the same? What you give is yours, what I give is mine,” Liang Juan said firmly.

Seeing that his aunt had made up her mind, Liang Ming said nothing more.

After all, we're all family. We don't need to worry so much about money. As long as we all share the same fate, that's enough.

In the following days, Liang Ming noticed a visibly changing change in his aunt Liang Juan's demeanor.

She gradually transformed from a rural woman into a confident and cheerful person, and her clothing and appearance also changed.

The old hairstyles of women with tied-up hair have been replaced by big waves, and the traditional Chinese dress has been replaced by women's shirts and jeans.

"Your sister has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."

After seeing the changes in Liang Juan, Li Lan sighed to Liang Min.

"Yes, Xiaoming told me that Xiaojuan's braised duck shop now makes a net profit of more than 300 yuan a day, which is almost as much as my annual salary."

Liang Min sighed.

"Everyone says that going into business is like going to sea and making a fortune. It turns out that doing business really is that profitable."

Li Lan nodded and sighed softly.

"Yeah, do you think we could make just as much money if we both went into business?"

Liang Min murmured softly.

This time, Li Lan surprisingly did not refute him.

Liang Ming was unaware that his parents were also considering starting their own business.

In the morning, he went to the braised duck shop at the entrance of the county's No. 1 Middle School and delivered the 100 braised ducks that the school needed to the school cafeteria.

"Boss Liang, your braised duck is so delicious, our students can't get enough of it."

After settling the payment with Liang Ming, Li Jin said with a smile.

He could tell the quality of the duck; it was a fresh duck.

This braised duck sells for 1 yuan per jin (2g), which is an absolutely fair price.

Therefore, Li Jin also wanted to help Liang Ming, this young man, more.

"It is an honor for our Liangheiya brand to be liked by students."

Liang Ming said modestly:

"Thank you, Principal Li, for giving us the opportunity to supply braised duck to the school cafeteria!"

Hearing Liang Ming's modest words, Li Jin's smile deepened.

He turned to Liang Ming and asked, "Boss Liang, would you like to expand your braised duck business a bit more?"

"Principal Li, what do you mean by that?" Liang Ming asked curiously upon hearing this.

Li Jin didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"Your braised duck tastes amazing! A few days ago, some colleagues from other schools came to our school to attend an open class!"

"After tasting the braised duck, they all praised it highly."

“After I told them that the braised duck was supplied by you, they were very interested.”

"If you'd like, I'll invite them out for a meal!"

"Talk to them and offer to supply braised duck to their school cafeteria..."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming's face showed gratitude, and he said:

"Principal Li, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

"I...I really don't know how to thank you..."

Li Jin waved his hand and said with a smile, "Boss Liang, don't mention thank you."

"I introduced this business to you because I think you're a very honest person. I hope you can stay true to your original intentions in the future."

Besides this reason, it's also because after the principals of those brother schools ate braised duck at the county's No. 1 Middle School cafeteria last time, they went back and told everyone that the food at their school cafeteria was delicious.

In just one week, leaders from relevant departments in Wubo County have come to the school to inspect our work.

The inspection work was fine, but after each inspection, everyone said they wanted to try the braised duck in the school cafeteria.

Who can bear this?
