A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

Su Li put a lot of effort into selecting the right ingredients.

The vegetables are all freshly picked from the fields, and the meat is freshly slaughtered pork bought from shops in town.

The dockworkers do heavy physical labor every day, so their meals need to be oily and juicy. However, pork prices in town are not low, so their profits are very limited.

It's practically just earning a meager living through hard work.

In this way, in order to ensure the shop's income, she devoted almost all her energy to it, and had no time to think about anything else.

This is not possible.

The matter of peach blossoms, the matter of the Ninth Prince, and the troublesome Su Zhen family...

Aunt Su had a keen eye and saw through Su Li's inner turmoil at a glance.

She gently patted Su Li's hand; those hands were warm and rough, bearing the marks of time, yet they instantly brought a sense of peace.

"The docks are full of poor laborers, so the prices need to be reasonable, but we can't shortchange ourselves. We have to find the right balance."

Su Li smiled somewhat shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Third Aunt, I know we have to be honest in business. But business is bound to have its ups and downs. We can manage buying vegetables in the village now, but the flour for making noodles is scarce and of inconsistent quality."

We used to be ripped off by the villagers when we were in the soybean business. But if we don't buy vegetables from the village and instead buy these things from the rice shop, the costs will be even higher.

As she spoke, a hint of helplessness appeared on Su Li's face, and her eyes also revealed a trace of fatigue.

Su Sangu's expression changed slightly, and her originally peaceful face became more serious.

She frowned, her eyes showing concern and worry, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Su Li sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly, and recounted in detail how the villagers, envious of their thriving business, had driven up the price of soybeans several times over, causing their business to collapse.

After hearing this, Aunt Su slammed her hand on the table in anger, causing the teacups on the table to shake.

“This won’t do. Honesty is the most important thing in doing business. How can they go back on their word like this! Actually, your aunt knows that you are so young, doing business is not so easy.”

“My aunt has been running a general store in the city for so many years, and the most important thing is the supply channels. Just like the everyday items we sell in our general store, the prices are not high to begin with. If you want to make money, you have to have good sources of goods.”

"Sigh, I was already worried about the source of goods for your shop, and now that you've mentioned it, I'm even more concerned. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you find a reliable source of goods and I won't let you suffer this loss."

Su Li looked at her third aunt with gratitude, her eyes full of trust.

My aunt is always like this; she steps up and lends a hand when I need her most.

In their past life, the Su family was inexplicably wiped out, and even the government dared not investigate further. At that critical juncture, no one wanted to be associated with the Su family.

Despite the objections, Auntie San resolutely took Asheng into her life and raised him for more than ten years.

Just as Su Li was about to speak, Old Madam Su suddenly walked in again. Hearing Su Sangu's words, she scoffed and said:

"What about sourcing channels? Doing business isn't that easy. Stop messing around. What can a little girl like you know? Close your shop and give the money to the family to manage. Otherwise, you'll lose all your money by messing around outside."

Su Li took a deep breath, her expression remaining calm and composed. She slightly raised her chin, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Grandma, I've worked hard to build this shop, and I have my own plans and ideas. I'm not afraid of hardship or difficulties."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su's anger intensified. She put her hands on her hips and raised her voice, saying:

"Why are you so stubborn, girl? You're a young lady, showing your face in public and running a shop at the docks. What kind of image is that? You'd be better off finding a good family to marry into and giving your money to the family. That way, you'll be contributing something to the family."

Su Li frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

The old lady is always like this; no matter what others say, she remains completely unmoved.

Seeing this, Aunt Su quickly got up and walked to Su Li's side, gently putting her arm around Su Li's shoulder, and looked at Old Madam Su with a firm gaze, saying:

“Mother, Li’er has her own ideas, so please don’t force her. Her shop is doing quite well. Besides, she’s doing this for the good of the family. Once she makes money, it will all be ours, right? So please don’t worry about her, let her go and try her luck.”

Hearing her third aunt's words, Old Mrs. Su turned and left angrily, saying, "You all just keep indulging her. Let's see what kind of trouble she can cause! Don't let her bring shame to the entire Su family!"

Watching the old lady's retreating figure, Aunt Su sighed, turned around, and looked tenderly at Su Li.

"Child, don't take it to heart. Just do what you think is right, your aunt supports you."

Su Li nodded slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude and determination: "Third Aunt, thank you. I will definitely not let you down..."

Before going to sleep, Su Sangu seemed to suddenly remember something crucial.

She specifically knocked on the door of the fourth room to ask Su Li, "By the way, how's your shop's daily revenue?"

Su Li paused slightly, and after a moment's thought, gave an average number that was neither too high nor too low.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Su's brows slowly furrowed, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes. She gently shook her head.

“If what you said earlier is true, the shop’s revenue could not possibly be this much. In my opinion, it should at least double.”

Su Li's brows furrowed tightly.

She had thought about this matter repeatedly, and apart from reducing costs or extending daily operating hours, she really couldn't think of any other way to increase the shop's income.

She looked at her third aunt with a mixture of confusion and expectation, "I thought I had done quite well, but now it seems there are definitely shortcomings that I haven't noticed."

Aunt Su reached out and gently rested her chin on her hand. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Alright, anyway, tomorrow is the fourth day of the lunar new year, and your shop will open for business soon. I'll go with you to take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly nodded in agreement, "That's great! With Auntie helping to oversee things, I feel much more confident."

The next day, Aunt Su followed Su Li to the shop.

At first, Su Li and the others continued with their usual routine and order, busying themselves with their own tasks.

Aunt Su stood aside, observing the shop's operation from a distance without making a sound.

She stood with her hands behind her back, her sharp eyes scanning every corner inside and outside the shop, sometimes nodding slightly, sometimes shaking her head gently, as if she were secretly assessing something in her mind.

By noon, the first wave of guests had gradually left, and Su Li and her group finally had a moment to catch their breath.

Su Li quickly went to her third aunt's side and welcomed her into the shop.

"Third Aunt, as you can see, we've put a lot of effort into the taste, the ingredients are fresh, and we treat our guests with great hospitality. I really don't know what went wrong."

Aunt Su smiled slightly, a confident look on her face, and pulled Su Li to sit down in a corner of the shop, saying softly:

"Li girl, your enthusiasm is commendable, but you need to treat old customers and new customers differently in order to make the business last!"

“Differentiated…treatment?” Su Li asked, puzzled.

Aunt Su nodded.

"Silly girl, think about it. Our regular customers come because of our taste and the familiarity we feel. They have an emotional attachment to your shop, so we have to add a little something to that connection!"
