Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

"It's not just the opening day, there's another big event that we've all forgotten."

Song Lingge's serious expression made Song Jianmei nervous, wondering what she had forgotten.

Qiao Nansheng knew that Song Lingge was teasing Song Jianmei, and he couldn't help but find it amusing.

But when he laughed, his composure crumbled.

Song Lingge rolled her eyes at him.

Qiao Nansheng explained, "Stop teasing your aunt. She's been worried about opening the shop all along."

Hearing this, Song Jianmei's tense emotions were relieved.

"Why are you teasing me? You startled me."

Song Lingge smiled and patted Song Jianmei on the back: "It's not entirely about teasing you, because this is a really big deal."

Qiao Nansheng nodded as well.

These two are acting all mysterious, as if it's something important but nothing to worry about. What could it be?

Song Jianmei really couldn't think of anything.

Song Lingge pulled Song Jianmei to the front door and pointed to the neighbors on the left and right, as well as the shops across the street.

"Aunt, did you notice?"

Song Jianmei then realized: "You mean the signboard?"

Qiao Nansheng said, "Yes, when you reopen, you must come up with a catchy name. And have you thought about what you'll mainly sell now?"

The three of them went back into the house and sat down to discuss the matter.

After a moment of thought, Song Lingge said, "We definitely can't open a steamed bun shop. Steamed buns are mainly for breakfast. Although this place is considered an off-campus canteen, people are short on time in the morning and only a few come out to eat breakfast."

Qiao Nansheng nodded: "Yes, most people just buy food from the school cafeteria, so there's no need to open a breakfast shop. But my aunt's steamed buns are delicious; you could design them as a steamed dish."

"How about hot pot, dry pot, or barbecue?"

“This place is so big, I think we should open a Chinese restaurant, a kind of Sichuan-style cuisine. Otherwise, how can we showcase Aunt’s excellent skills? Hot pot and barbecue won’t show your aunt’s talent.”

"We'll also serve local cuisine; it's the only one around here."

"The price can't be set too low, and it's not good if it's too high either. It should be moderate."

......

With Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng working in tandem, Song Jianmei finally realized that there were so many intricacies to doing business.

She naively thought that, following the model at Nanzhou Middle School, she would sell steamed buns in the morning and stir-fries at noon and in the evening.

Although it's hard work, you can earn a lot of money.

Judging from Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng's intentions, they want to expand and strengthen this store.

Can she really do it?

Song Jianmei had never experienced anything like this before. She was worried, but more than that, she was afraid of losing Song Lingge's money.

Qiao Nansheng noticed Song Jianmei's low spirits and gently nudged Song Lingge, who was excitedly describing her bright future, with his foot.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

Song Jianmei wasn't one to be cowardly, especially since she had no way out now.

"Lingge, I'm a little worried that I won't do a good job and will let you down."

Song Lingge chuckled, "Auntie, don't you trust me? The food you make is definitely delicious, you need to have confidence in yourself. What we're discussing now is how to perfect the details as well."

“Yes, I can also say that. My aunt’s cooking is absolutely superb; many restaurants can’t compare,” Qiao Nansheng chimed in.

With the affirmation of these two people, coupled with the feedback from diners during this period, Song Jianmei's confidence increased.

Actually, she was just thinking that Song Lingge had spent so much money to buy this shop, and she didn't know when she would be able to make a profit.

When someone genuinely cared about her, Song Jianmei found that her mindset had undergone a complete transformation.

In the past, she only thought about taking advantage of others, which made her disliked by many people.

Now that she earns money with her skills, she has begun to put herself in other people's shoes.

Lingge is good to her, so she should be good to Lingge in return.

"How did we get so off-topic? Weren't we discussing store names?"

Seeing that Song Jianmei was about to be moved to tears again, Song Lingge quickly changed the subject.

Song Jianmei is too easily moved and soft-hearted now, which is not a good thing.

"Yes, yes, the store name is important, but I'm not good at it, so I'll have to rely on you two college students."

"May wealth come from all directions to our restaurant!" Song Lingge stretched out her arms to welcome the arrival of the God of Wealth.

Qiao Nansheng gave her a disdainful look: "You're obsessed with money."

Song Lingge glared back disdainfully: "If you're not opening a shop to make money, are you doing charity?"

"I'm not going to argue with you. Yours won't do anyway. How about 'Fragrance of Apricot Grove'?"

Song Lingge shook her head like a fan: "No, no, that's too poetic. How about 'Delicious Fragrance'? The first character is my aunt's name."

Qiao Nansheng nodded thoughtfully and added, "How about 'Delicious Fragrance'? 'Song' can also be changed to the character 'Song,' which fits your surname perfectly."

"Delicious Songxiang".

Song Lingge and Song Jianmei both muttered to themselves.

"This name is good, I like it."

Fearing that the two little devils would start arguing again, Song Jianmei decided to settle the matter once and for all.

Song Lingge glanced at Qiao Nansheng: "Since Auntie likes it too, let's make a happy decision!"

"Let me design the signboard as a gift for your new store opening. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to give you for your new store opening," Qiao Nansheng suggested.

Song Jianmei quickly waved her hand and said, "That's not good at all. You've troubled me too much these past few days. There's no need for any congratulatory gift for the opening."

"We still need the gift, it's settled then, and you can leave the signboard to me!"

Song Lingge bought the shop and didn't have much money left.

There's still some time before Zhang leaves, so Song Jianmei needs to use her money to buy groceries.

Song Lingge knew that Qiao Nansheng was indirectly helping them save money.

Although he said he didn't like the birthday gifts his family gave him during the conversation, he was actually deeply affected by them.

The gifts he gave were also very practical.

It's hard not to like a practical gift.

I just don't know what kind of gift Qiao Nansheng would like.

Once the signboard is finalized, there's nothing to worry about.

Song Lingge and Song Jianmei decided to officially open for business on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the New Year.

The business will begin trial operation on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, people from all walks of life will gradually resume work.

However, schools will not reopen until around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Since the location is near a school, students are definitely the main consumers.

Solving Song Jianmei's problem also puts a major matter to rest for Song Lingge.

Delicious Songxiang is not only Song Jianmei's career, but also Song Lingge's side business.

With Song Jianmei's dedicated management, she was basically making money while lying down, feeling very happy.

However, as things began to get on track, her own main career was also about to embark on its journey.

Everything is moving in a reasonable and orderly manner, and Song Lingge is full of expectations for the future.

Over the next few days, she came over during the day to help Song Jianmei renovate the rooms upstairs.

To save money, they went to the building materials market themselves to buy boards and partitioned the upstairs into two rooms.

I would go home in the evening and concentrate on writing my novel.

Life is busy but fulfilling.

Soon, the New Year arrived.
