Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

These words were like a heavy stone thrown into a lake, instantly silencing the once bustling courtyard.

Only when the words, spoken out of control, echoed in the air did the speaker suddenly realize the impact they would have on Liang Yili.

An embarrassed blush crept onto her face, and a dry, unnatural smile appeared on her lips.

She scratched the back of her head and chuckled sheepishly, "Look at me, why did I have to bring up the thing I didn't want to talk about?"

After saying that, she gave Liang Yili an apologetic look, then hurriedly left with the child.

Yan Moli glanced cautiously at Liang Yili.

Seeing that she remained expressionless throughout, he called out with slight worry, "Pear~"

After confirming with Hua Yuanqing that the rotary cutter would be ready soon, Liang Yili turned to look at Yan Moli:

"Aunt, would you like to start a business at home?"

Yan Moli was taken aback, then nodded vigorously: "Of course I want to!"

Liang Yili pointed to the potato towers in her two younger cousins' hands:

Do you think anyone would buy this once it's made?

A thoughtful look flashed quickly in Hua Yuanqing's cloudy eyes:

"You mean, you want your aunt to fry this stuff at home and sell it?"

"Yeah, it's 2 cents a string of them, so you don't need to keep an eye on it."

If someone wants to buy, you sell; if no one wants to buy, it won't stop you from doing other work. However…” Liang Yili hesitated.

Yan Moli, her eyes already gleaming, grabbed Liang Yili's arm and pressed, "But what?"

"However, the profits are not large; it can only accumulate little by little."

Yan Moli breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand: "What's the big deal? As long as we can make money, who cares how much? A penny is still money."

Liang Yili was amused: "It's not that bad!"

She analyzed, "We have potatoes at home, so the cost is practically zero."

Although frying it uses a lot of oil, the oil can be reused. You can also use the leftover oil to stir-fry other dishes!

Didn't you grow peanut rapeseed at home?

Vegetable oil is fine too.

On average, it doesn't cost much. The most important thing is…

"What is it?"

"First, everyone is lacking in oil and fat in their stomachs."

If something fried suddenly appears, can an adult resist it, but can a child resist it?

Business will come, won't it?

Anyway, Auntie and Grandma are usually at home, so you don't need to treat this as a proper business. Just do whatever you're supposed to do.

All you need to do is let people know that this place sells potato towers. When customers come in, you just sell them.

Yan Moli looked at Liang Yili with bright eyes: "Anything else?"

"Most importantly, who would have the time to pour oil into a pot and fry potato towers for their child?"

"There are very few people who can turn a potato into a circle with this kind of knife skill, right?" Liang Yili said.

Hua Yuansheng looked at the spinning knife in his hand, a smile spreading across his eyes and brows.

"Having no competitive advantage is the biggest advantage!" Liang Yili declared definitively.

So, for the next two days, Hua Yuanqing focused all his attention on studying the rotary cutter.

With the introduction of the rotary cutter, Yan Moli's potato tower business was officially put on the agenda.

Just as Liang Yili had predicted, the potato tower business quickly captured the attention of the little ones.

"Grandma, please buy it for me. If you buy it for me, I promise I'll study hard."

"Mother, please, just this once! So-and-so has already tasted it, I want to try it too!"

Adults eventually can't withstand a child's crying, tantrums, and outbursts, and have no choice but to reluctantly pay up.

But the charm of potato towers goes far beyond that.

It first captivated the boys of Huajia Village, making them lose their appetite and sleep, and then the news spread to several neighboring villages.

The kids are not afraid of hardship or fatigue just to have something to eat.

Even if it means walking several miles, I will not hesitate.

Everyone was short of money, and with the money they had finally managed to get from their parents, they naturally all wanted a big one.

"Auntie, I want this potato!"

After carefully comparing them, the boy pointed to the potato on the ground that he thought was the biggest and made a demand.

Yan Moli smiled, picked up a potato, and quickly fried it into a potato tower, handing it to her son.

These kids are of varying ages.

The older ones are eight or nine years old, and the younger ones are three or four years old.

It's always when I'm craving something.

They were all sweating profusely from running around, not caring about the heat. The first thing they did when they got the potato towers wasn't to eat them, but to show them off.

"My potato tower is bigger than yours!"

"Mine is clearly bigger!"

"What's mine is the biggest!"

Since Yan Moli started selling potato towers, her house has become the favorite place for the village kids.

Even if you don't have the money to buy it, it's still nice to just lean against the door and smell the fragrance.

Upon seeing them, the kids holding potato towers stopped competing.

Instead, he deliberately slowed down and then, right in front of them, took a bite.

Finally, with a look of pure bliss, he shook his head and exclaimed, "It's so delicious!"

"Wow!"

The sound of crying entered the room, but Yan Moli remained unmoved, sitting on the small stool.

With a delighted expression, he pulled out the small bills he had already counted countless times and counted them one more time with great satisfaction.

Yan Dahua craned her neck to look into the yard, and seeing her daughter-in-law's greedy expression, she laughed:

"Another one who's drooling with envy!"

The potato tower business is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

At its peak, I could earn 2 or 3 yuan a day, and even on slow days, I could still earn a little over 1 yuan.

Anyway, the potatoes and oil are all from our own farm, so everything we harvest is profit.

Yan Moli had never thought that money was so easy to earn in her entire life.

She doesn't need to go out or miss work, and people are giving her money voluntarily.

In just half a month, he had already collected more than 20 yuan.

Before going to bed that night, I couldn't help but sigh to Hua Anshan, "Now I believe it, Pear's brain is really sharp."

I've also realized that since I'm not very bright, I really have to listen to the people who are bright and not try to do things blindly.

Otherwise, it's all for nothing!

As she spoke, Yan Moli suddenly jumped up from the bed.

Startled, Hua Anshan stared at her blankly.

"Why aren't you sleeping so late at night? What are you doing?"

"No, I need to go back to my parents' home when I have some free time."

"Why are you going home? Aren't you going to make potato tarts?"

"Make it! But making potato towers is nothing compared to pears and peaches!"

Pears and peaches love wearing the shoes I made!

I heard that my dad recently hunted two wild boars.

They definitely didn't throw away that wild boar hide. I'll go get it and make a pair of pigskin boots for Pear and Peach.

That thing is waterproof and warm, perfect for winter!

Her family lived in a remote mountain village, extremely poor, where people mainly made a living by hunting.

There's not much else, but there's definitely a lot of different kinds of leather.

If we can't get other hides, we can still try to get wild boar hide.

Hua Anshan saw that Yan Moli had already started rummaging through drawers and cabinets, looking for something to exchange with her father-in-law for wild boar skin.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said casually, "Pigskin boots? Waterproof and warm? Mine..."

"What's wrong with what you wear, you big man? Why do you have to wear wild boar skin? I've never even worn one myself!"

"Aren't these grown men cold?"

"So what if it's cold!"

Hua Anshan hugged the bed sheet, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I recognized him by his eyes; he's the kind of person my wife doesn't care about.

Protecting wild animals is everyone's responsibility!
