The Bully General's Spiritual Husband
Chapter 31 Business Improves
Li Hao was still gloating. He hadn't let that pretty boy win any money today, and when the gambling den closed and all the gambling table winnings were tallied, he had contributed the least.
Shen Li happened to be away from the gambling den this morning. Looking at the money Li Hao handed over, he said with a cold face, "Haozi, what's going on? Your table is making significantly less money than usual today."
Li Hao realized he had been tricked after a moment's thought; that pretty boy's little tricks had actually fooled him.
He nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Brother Li... I... I let that kid trick me again."
"what happened?"
Li Hao recounted in detail to Shen Li what had happened to Yin Baicai at the gambling den that day.
Shen Li pondered for a moment. He had noticed that this kid was unusual last time, but he hadn't expected his gambling skills to be so amazing. He had obviously made a wrong bet on purpose.
However, considering that he only won a small amount for himself and did not lead the other gamblers to bet together, it seems that he is somewhat clever.
You could tell from the moment he started trying to get closer to the oyster.
But where exactly does this kid come from? I've already sent people to investigate secretly, but we still can't find out.
It's clear that this person might have someone behind him, otherwise the people I sent out would have said that they felt they encountered some resistance during the investigation.
Since discovering that someone was secretly following Yin Baicai at the gambling den, Li Zhe had ordered his men to keep Yin Baicai's whereabouts hidden. In addition, Yin Baicai himself was a young man disguised as a man, so Shen Li and the others naturally had no way of finding out anything about him.
Having already traveled halfway, Yin Baicai remembered that she had forgotten to visit Manager Zhang's restaurant.
As soon as he arrived in town, he went straight into the gambling den, clearly not paying attention to the conversations around him.
These past few days, people in town have been talking about a new dining system called "points membership" launched by Hongxilou Restaurant. They say that you get points for eating there, and those points can be used to offset money!
Many people who found it novel went to check it out, and sure enough, spending money there earned points, which could be used to offset the cost of the second visit.
Xiao Si's face was practically frozen with a smile as he watched the store get more and more customers. He was so busy he was spinning like a top.
Manager Zhang was also busy, keeping score for the customers.
Anyone who spends money on food at the store will receive a special points card. Young Master Yin also taught them to write down the points using specific numbers. When customers want to use their points to pay for their meals, they can simply bring the points card.
Chen Sanlin in the kitchen was extremely busy, preparing a lot of sweet and sour pork ribs and eight-treasure duck every day, and some young customers even asked for French fries.
Even though they were busy, the three of them were happy because their shop could finally stay open again, and they no longer had to worry about the family's livelihood if the business went out of business.
He Miao, a waiter at Fu Man Lou, was seething with resentment as he watched the business across the street thrive. Hong happy Lou had managed to attract a third of his customers there.
Looking at Xiao Si's welcoming smile, he became increasingly angry. How could a shop that was almost bankrupt have come back to life?
Looking at Manager Wang, who was still sitting leisurely fanning himself behind the counter, he asked worriedly, "Manager, aren't you worried? The shop next door has been stealing a lot of our customers."
Manager Wang calmly said, "What's the rush? It's just a little trick to attract customers. Once the novelty wears off in the next couple of days, the customers will naturally come back. What's so great about the food at the restaurant across the street anyway?"
Hearing his manager's words, He Miao's worries lessened considerably. After all, their restaurant was the largest in Qingshui Town, and how could the small, dilapidated building next door compare?
So what if it's been open for so many years? Its business has still been taken away by the restaurants it works for.
Let them be smug for a few days first.
Back in the village, Yin Baicai looked at the house of Li Eba, which was just a stone's throw away. The footballs that he had left outside that morning had been taken inside. Seeing that the gate was unlocked, he thought that Li Zhe should be home, so he knocked on the door: "Li Eba, open the door. I'm exhausted. I'm going to your house to rest for a while."
Li Zhe, who was chopping chicken grass in the yard, heard Yin Baicai's voice, put down his cleaver, and came over to open the door.
Looking at the person leaning against the eaves, panting heavily: "Come in, what have you been doing that makes you so tired?"
Yin Baicai plopped down on a stool, carrying her things, and ordered Li Zhe, "Li the bully, hurry up and get me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst."
After finishing her water, Yin Baicai replied to him: "I went to town. The village chief went to get the land deed for me, right? I'm going to buy him some things and then go to his house to pick up the land deed later."
After saying that, she handed the portion she had bought for Li Mo to Li Zhe, "This is for Mo Xiaogui, why don't I see him?"
“Xiao Mo is still sleeping.” Li Zhe took the things Yin Baicai handed him.
After resting for a while, Yin Baicai left Li Zhe's house.
He knocked on the door of the village chief's house next door, and the village chief's wife came to open the door for Yin Baicai: "Brother Cai, it's you. You've come to pick up the land deed, right?"
Yin Baicai handed over what she was holding: "Grandma Li, yes, this is a small token of my appreciation."
"You've come all this way, why did you buy anything? Come in and sit down, I'll go call the old man over." Li Hui knew that this was Yin Baicai's thoughtful gesture, so she didn't refuse again and accepted the gifts.
As soon as Yin Baicai entered the courtyard, the village chief's grandson opened his big, round eyes and looked at her curiously.
Yin Baicai smiled and said, "Come here, brother, give me a hug."
Huang Yuanyuan wasn't shy at all and laughed as she rushed into Yin Baicai's arms.
"So nice."
Li Hui called into the house, "Old man, quickly bring the documents, Cai Ge'er is here."
Yin Baicai sat in the courtyard teasing Huang Yuanyuan. Li Hui took the things Yin Baicai brought into the house and brought him some mung bean soup to cool him down.
The village chief quickly got out of bed and brought over the documents he had taken to town that day to process for Yin Baicai.
"Here you go, Brother Cai. I was just saying I'd bring it over to you later."
"Thank you for your help, Grandpa Village Chief."
"It's alright, when do you plan to start construction?"
……
The group chatted in the courtyard for a while, and after finishing their mung bean soup, Yin Baicai left.
The village chief's wife took out three pieces of pastry that Yin Baicai had brought, and gave one piece to each of the three members of the family.
Huang Yuanyuan happily ate the pastry in her hand, which was given to her by the handsome older brother earlier.
Looking at the pastries in their hands, Li Hui and her husband naturally knew that they must have cost a lot of money. Cai Ge'er was truly a thoughtful child.
Back home, Yin Baicai looked at the land deed in her hand. "I, Yin Baicai, am a landowner now. Soon I will have a house."
When I have money in the future, I will buy back all the land that my little socially anxious family sold, so that he can rest in peace in heaven.
After all, for more than ten years he had considered it a sin to cause his mother's illness, and he worked hard every day to earn money so that one day he could buy back all the land in his family.
Now that I've taken over your body, I'll definitely fulfill your little wish.
