Song He hadn't thought about this originally.

Even if Zhou Ping invited him, his initial thought was to refuse.

After all, when he first came to Tongan Village, it was the chef of Weixiangju who took a fancy to him, promoted him and made him a kitchen helper, so the chef was very grateful to him for his help.

Just going out and working on your own would undoubtedly be a betrayal to the chef.

But now, after hearing what my sister said, it seems that it is not impossible. If he makes a lot of money, he can buy some good things to honor the chef during the holidays, and it will not be considered ungrateful.

Song Miaomiao saw that Song He was excited and gave him a push from behind:

"Brother, don't you still believe me? From childhood to adulthood, when has my luck ever been bad? With my help, our family will definitely be rich!"

Song's mother was also excited by what she said, and immediately agreed:

"That's right! Ah He, just listen to your sister. She has been lovable since she was a child, and she is lucky. What she says must be right!"

Song He finally nodded, but still hesitated:

"But mother, our family doesn't have that much money to open a shop in town."

Then, he counted on his fingers and made a calculation with his family:

First of all, if he wanted to go out on his own, he would have to pay Weixiangju a sum of money.

When he agreed to be a kitchen helper, he signed a contract with Weixiangju to work there for three years. Now, there are still a few months left before the three years, and if he leaves, it will be considered a breach of contract.

Secondly, opening a store requires renting a house, and the rent is not cheap.

An ordinary shop in the town, which only has one room, would cost three to five cents a month in rent.

If it is a courtyard with several entrances like Shi Lidie's, or a multi-story building like Weixiangju, it will be even more expensive, starting at at least one or two taels of silver a month.

Third, we have not yet decided what to sell in the shop.

If we do as Song Miaomiao said and come up with something new, we are not sure when we can figure it out, nor how much it will cost in the early stages.

Even if you figure it out, you still have to spend money on buying ingredients, other condiments, decorating the store, etc.

"Dad, Mom, how much money do we have now?" Song He asked after he had done the math. "If we really want to open a store, we won't be able to do it without at least 20 taels in the early stages."

With just one sentence, Song's father and mother were silenced.

The Song family is a farming family that makes a living from the land. They farm all year round, and the harvest depends entirely on God's mood.

Even if it was a year of bumper harvest, after deducting the family's annual necessities, the remaining produce would not be able to be sold for much money, at most three or five taels of silver.

Occasionally, she had to go to town to buy meat and have a snack with this money, and also spend part of it to make new clothes and jewelry for Song Miaomiao, so there was very little left.

It has only been three years since their family fled to Tongan Village, and not every year is a good harvest.

"Now there is only eight taels and seven cents of silver in the family, which is not enough to do business." Song's mother was worried.

"Forget it, it's good like this now." Song He said, "The chef doesn't ignore me too much. At least I can learn some real skills by following him."

"No!" Song Miaomiao suddenly objected loudly.

Relying on the halo of being the group's favorite, Song Miaomiao has always been the pampered baby of the family, and her parents and brothers have to act according to her wishes.

"Miaomiao, your suggestion is good, but we have no money!" Song's mother advised.

"I'll go borrow it!" Song Miaomiao took a deep breath. "I've always been popular with people. I don't think they will refuse me. If...if I can't borrow it in the village, then I'll go to the town to borrow it."

The ideal is perfect, but the reality is very skinny——

Song Miaomiao was destined not to be able to borrow money in Tongan Village.

Because all the people in Tongan Village are farmers like the Song family, and the Song family relied on Song Miaomiao's good luck with the koi and only saved this little, how much could other families have?

What's more, farmers attach great importance to money.

If you say you have no food at home and want to borrow a bowl of rice, she might agree without saying a word.

But if you say you want to borrow money, then it means your son is getting married, you are saving up dowry for your daughter, your parents are sick...all kinds of excuses can come up.

Song Miaomiao wandered around the village but failed to borrow money, so she went to the town immediately.

I don't know who she found, but when she came back, she had twenty taels of silver in her arms, just the right amount, not more, not less.

"Where did this come from?" Song's mother asked curiously.

"Mom, please don't ask. Anyway, we have the money to open the store now. It depends on what new food Big Brother can come up with." Song Miaomiao avoided the topic and only said, "You can use the money as you like. There is no interest. When our store starts to make money, we will pay it back."

Shi Lidie's tavern gradually got on track.

The flyer campaign she put out on the opening day was long-lasting. In order to deepen the publicity, she asked someone to write it on a large piece of paper and post it at the door of the pub so that passers-by could see it.

Occasionally, there are a few new customers who are attracted by the activities and come to take care of her business.

But most of them are old customers.

Because the wine she brewed was very different from the wine in this world, many customers were attracted by its sweet and rich taste and became repeat customers.

Especially those who are not short of money and have a great demand for wine at home, after discussing with their family, almost everyone deposited money in the tavern.

In this way, Shi Lidie almost got something for nothing with no capital investment.

She used the money deposited by customers to buy raw materials, and sold the wine to customers at double the price after it was brewed. She didn't have to pay a penny herself and was only responsible for brewing the wine, and she made money comfortably.

In addition to brewing and selling wine every day, she was urged by Aya to complete system tasks.

Over the past month, with her unremitting efforts,

[Elegant mission completed, reward copper coins: 200, calligraphy proficiency: 33%]

……

[Elegant mission completed, reward copper coins: 500, calligraphy proficiency: 47%]

……

[Elegant mission completed, reward copper coins: 20, painting proficiency: 3%]

……

Now, she can also write neat regular script.

You know, when she first came here, the words were written with a dog's hand, all crooked and slanted, and it was impossible to tell what was written.

Under Aya's supervision, she is gradually evolving into a cultured person.

only……

"Life is so boring." Shi Lidie sighed, "I haven't done a crazy mission for a long time. Why hasn't anyone come to provoke me and let me fight back?"

At this moment, Ah Feng spoke:

[Look, the blind man is here, and the opportunity to take advantage of others has come again. ]

Shi Lidie looked up and saw Song Miaomiao walking in gracefully, wearing a newly cut skirt and a fashionable silver hairpin in her hair.

Based on the principle of harmony bringing wealth, Shi Lidie asked:

"Will the guests buy wine?"

Song Miaomiao did not answer. She just walked around the lobby of Shi Lidie's tavern, looked around, and then said:

"I'm not buying wine, I'm here to invite you."

"My brother has opened a shop in town, selling some novel food. It will open tomorrow. I hope you can come and support him!"

"We are all from the same village. We fled together and have a bond of friendship. Now we are all doing business in the town. I hope we can help and support each other in the future."

"Xiaodie, I'm really sad about your parents' death, but it's not my fault. I hope we can wipe out the grudges from the past..."
