The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 228 Raising IQ?

"No, Uncle Chen, I brought my classmates here to eat mala tang."

"Okay, okay, sit down. The hot pot will be ready soon. Have some snacks first."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

After sitting down, Li Xiaonuan asked mysteriously, "Xiaoxi, do you often eat here? I heard that all the waiters at this restaurant are disabled, is that true?"

Lin Xi nodded, "That's true."

"Waaah, the owner is so nice! No matter how good the food is, I'll definitely come here often because of his character."

"Thank you."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for?"

"This shop is owned by my dad."

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

The three of them were eating the snacks that Grandpa Chen had brought them when they all spat them out.

Lin Xi quickly handed tissues to the group, "Why are you so surprised?"

Shu Zhi stammered, "Xiao Xi, does eating spicy hot pot really make you smarter?"

Lin Xi was immediately at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated. This blunder had happened at the original shop, so how had it gotten here? "How is that possible? Who told you this?"

"My mother said it."

Li Xiaonuan raised her hand, "I heard it from my relatives."

Jian hope also said, "I heard from my neighbor that the son of the mala tang owner is a genius because he has been eating mala tang since he was a child, which is why he has a high IQ. I never expected it to be you."

"You actually believe that?"

The three exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Now we believe you."

Lin Xi looked at them with a strange expression. "That's pure rumor. They're just ordinary ingredients. How could they possibly increase your IQ?"

Li Xiaonuan pouted, "Look, so many parents have brought their children to eat here."

Lin Xi glanced around and saw that there were indeed many children, ranging in age from seven or eight to seventeen or eighteen. One parent was serving soup to his child while saying, "Come on, sweetie, drink more soup. This soup is made with beef bones. It's good for your brain and can make you smarter."

"Mom, really?"

"Of course it's true. Your second aunt's cousin used to fail, but she got a perfect score last time. They come to eat this every week."

"Okay, Mom, I'll drink it all."

……

Li Xiaonuan and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this, "Let's come over to eat here every week!"

Lin Xi's lips twitched. "Hehe, this was just an accident. Maybe my confidence has increased, and I'm not nervous during the exam, so I naturally did well."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try. What if it really works?"

“I guess other people who come here think the same way you do. If it really worked, I’d definitely have my dad open stores all over the country.”

Just then, Grandpa Chen brought over several bowls of spicy hot pot and specially placed one of them in front of Lin Xi, saying, "Little Xi, this was specially made by the boss according to your taste."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

While drooling over the spicy hot pot, Li Xiaonuan asked Grandpa Chen, "Grandpa Chen, can eating spicy hot pot really increase your IQ?"

Grandpa Chen waved his hand, "How could that be? But it's true that it's good for your health."

He patted his leg, "I drink a bowl of beef bone soup every day. My legs used to hurt all the time, but now they not only don't hurt anymore, they're getting stronger every day..."

Lin Xi found it increasingly outrageous, while Li Xiaonuan and the others became more and more interested. Some people even leaned over to listen attentively and whispered, "Let's bring our parents here to eat next time."

"Yes, I should tell my colleague that his dad also often has leg pain..."

Lin Xi finally understood why her family's shop had such a great reputation. The waiters were spreading the word everywhere, and the customers were spreading the word everywhere. At this rate, her father would soon become a miracle doctor.

"Hey, hurry up and eat, or the noodles will all clump together."

Grandpa Chen finally stopped talking, "Yes, yes, you guys eat quickly, I'll go and get busy."

Just as the group was enjoying their meal, a commotion came from outside the door. Lin Xi put down her chopsticks and said, "You guys keep eating, I'll go out and take a look."

A group of people were queuing at the entrance, and the two burly men at the front were arguing heatedly about something.

It turns out that someone took a number and went to run errands but didn't come back in time, missing their turn. Now they want to be first in line, but the person in first place naturally refuses.

“I drove for half an hour from the west of the city, and then waited in line for another half hour. Now that it’s finally my turn, why should I let you have my way?”

“I came from the east side of the city, changed buses several times, and took longer than you. I was only a few minutes late. Why should I have to queue up again?”

There were also people in the crowd trying to break up the fight, saying, "Hey, you've all come from so far away, it's not easy for anyone, let's be understanding of each other."

Neither of them would give in. At this moment, the bald cashier came out of the store. He seemed to be used to the scene and calmly said, "Alright, stop arguing. You two can work together. The one who is late is not allowed to do this again. Next time, whoever is late will have to queue up again."

Because the bald man was so imposing, the crowd fell silent, and the two burly men nodded obediently.

After entering the store, Lin Xi asked, "Brother, does this kind of thing happen often in our store?"

The bald man looked helpless. "Yeah, it happens almost every day. Although I always say that if they're late, they'll have to queue again, these are customers who come from far away, so I feel bad making them queue again. It's just talk."

Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient supply and demand; there are too many people and too few shops.

Lin Xi had an idea, but she still needed to discuss it with her father.

After Li Xiaonuan and the others finished their meal, Lin Xi took them to the station and then returned to the shop.

In the kitchen, Lin Dayuan was cooking noodles, his forehead covered in sweat. Lin Xi said with concern, "Dad, let's hire two more people."

Lin Dayuan shook his sore arms. "We do need to hire people, but it's hard to find them. Yan Feng doesn't have anyone left. But your Uncle Liu will be here the day after tomorrow, so I'll definitely take a few days off then."

"By the way, Dad, I see there's no room left here. Have you thought about opening a few more stores?"

Lin Dayuan certainly wanted to, and he even wanted to open branches all over the country, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough funds or manpower. He was also afraid that if he rushed things and didn't pay attention to the details, he would ruin his reputation.

That's what I think and that's what I say.

Lin Xi patted her chest and said, "Dad, I'll take care of the funding and manpower. We'll open two stores this time, one in the east of the city and one in the west."

Lin Dayuan smiled and didn't take it seriously; it wasn't that easy to arrange.

On her way back, Lin Xi first went to the bank to check her balance and upgraded her account, successfully becoming a VIP customer of the bank.

The bank manager smiled more sweetly than flowers, but Lin Xi was not very satisfied with her two million in savings.

She also wants to buy her dad a luxury car, but it's not enough if he wants to open a shop.

I'm going to Beijing with my master the day after tomorrow, and I don't know when we'll be back. I need to get these things done by tomorrow night.

Back home, she immediately embarked on her money-making venture. If you ask what the fastest way to make money is, it's of course through hacking skills. Last time, she helped a foreign company find vulnerabilities, which gave her a taste of success.

Several days later, when I logged onto the dark web again, I found several more messages, all from the same pharmaceutical company as before.
