Seeing his mother's stingy nature come back, Yan Jiekuang smiled and explained, "You have to cook for 25 people. You can't handle it by yourself."

"Ten dollars per person is not much. The work period is about one and a half months, which is only 20 cents per day on average."

The third aunt did not respond to Yan Jiekuang, but started to think on her own.

Yan Bugui asked, "Why did you hire so many people, but it still took more than a month to complete the project?"

"My store is quite large, with two floors totaling almost 700 square meters."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui took a deep breath. He didn't expect his son to be so generous. The rent alone would cost a lot of money every month!

Yan Jiekuang did not say that he bought the store, otherwise Yan Bugui would have been shocked.

At this time, the third aunt had finished her calculations and said with a smile, "You don't need to find two people. Just let me find one. Your Aunt Wang next door is free and has nothing to do. Give her five dollars and it will definitely work."

"Then I would fry some cabbage for them every day, make 25 steamed buns, and cook some cornmeal porridge. It wouldn't cost much."

Hearing his mother's plan, Yan Jiekuang was stunned. It wouldn't cost much money, but it would offend everyone.

Yan Jiekuang looked at the third aunt seriously and said slowly, "Mom, there is no one like you who will offend everyone. I don't care about Aunt Wang. As long as you can make something, it's fine. But you can't cut back on the workers' meals at all."

"You must have one meat and one vegetable every day, and three steamed buns per person on average. If you want porridge, you can make corn porridge and make more. If you are not full with steamed buns, you can drink more porridge."

"We must make sure the workers are well fed so they can work for us properly. Besides, these were introduced by my cousin. We may need to ask for help from him in the future, so we can't offend him."

Seeing that Yan Jiekuang was speaking seriously, the third aunt was afraid that she would delay her work, so she nodded and agreed. However, the next words made Yan Jiekuang break down.

"Third brother, let's cook meat for them. If that doesn't work, we can just make two vegetarian dishes and they will be full."

Yan Jiekuang stroked his forehead and said speechlessly: "Why don't you just stop caring about it, I'll go find someone else!"

He originally thought that the old couple had changed a lot, so he wanted to ask the third aunt for help.

But I didn't expect that he was only less stingy with his own family, but was still as stingy as before with outsiders.

When the third aunt heard that she was no longer needed, she was afraid that Yan Jiekuang would ask others to spend more money, so she quickly changed her words: "No, I won't say anything. I will do as you say and make sure they have enough to eat."

It was not until the third aunt gave repeated assurances that Yan Jiekuang agreed to continue asking her for help.

Yan Jiekuang took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to his mother: "Mom, you can just help buy some food and vegetables. You don't have to buy meat. I'll bring it back when the time comes."

After explaining everything clearly, Yan Jiekuang became free again, and he would go to Guan's house every few days to "see the old man."

The rest of the time I spent going to the restaurant to check on the progress of the renovation. After observing it several times, I was relieved to be sure that my mother had prepared the meals according to my requirements.

It was not until a month later that Yan Jiekuang excitedly came to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and found that the business license he applied for had been approved.

And it was a double blessing, the restaurant had been renovated and we could open it right away as long as we got everything ready.

After he had a tour of the restaurant, he was very satisfied. He paid the remaining balance and invited Lei Mingjun to the hotel.

"Uncle Lei, your cooking skills are incredible."

"Come, I respect you!"

Lei Mingjun laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The two of them enjoyed the meal very much. After the meal, Yan Jiekuang did not go home but came to Guan's house.

"Master, I'm here to see you."

Old Master Guan chuckled and squinted his eyes and said, "Are you here to see me? Is it worth it for you to see an old man twelve times a month?"

Yan Jiekuang didn't know what to say. He stood there scratching his head. Fortunately, Guan Xiaoguan came back and rescued him.

Having been teased by the old man, Yan Jiekuang was no longer restrained: "Little lazy cat, come out with me, I have something to tell you."

When Mr. Guan heard this, he just glanced at the two of them and said nothing.

After they walked out of the door, Guan Xiaoguan asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Ever since Yan Jiekuang saved Guan Xiaoguan, the relationship between the two has become closer and closer. Later, as they had more contact, he simply changed his words.

"I'm happy today, let's go to the movies!"

Yan Jiekuang actually wanted to ask her out for a long time, but he never found a suitable opportunity. So he took advantage of his happy mood today and just said it out loud.

"Watch a movie? Sure!"

A blush appeared on Guan Xiaoguan's face. She had already had Yan Jiekuang in her heart.

Now that Yan Jiekuang took the first step, she agreed directly.

The two came to the cinema. The only movie showing today was "Nostalgia" and two old anti-Japanese war films.

Although they were not romance films, Yan Jiekuang always felt that it was not a good idea to take his girlfriend to watch anti-Japanese war movies.

I waited in line at the window for more than half an hour before I finally bought the ticket. I chose "Homesickness".

The two of them sat very close to each other, and a faint fragrance kept coming into Yan Jiekuang's nose. As for what the movie was about, Yan Jiekuang didn't even take a look.

Looking at the beauty sitting in front of him, Yan Jiekuang unconsciously grabbed the little lazy cat's hand.

Guan Xiaoguan did not resist, as if she could not feel anything, but her red cheeks betrayed her directly.

When the two came out of the cinema, they never let go of each other's hands.

No one spoke, they just walked hand in hand. When they were almost at Yan Jiekuang's restaurant, Guan Xiaoguan realized that this was not the way home.

"Brother, where are you taking me?"

Yan Jiekuang smiled mysteriously: "I have prepared a surprise for you, it will be here soon."

After arriving at the restaurant, Yan Jiekuang opened the door directly and looked at Guan Xiaoguan lovingly: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to have your own business? Well, this is the restaurant I prepared for you. You will be the boss here from now on."

Hearing this, Guan Xiaoguan covered his mouth and asked in disbelief: "Is this true?"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Thinking that he had only said it once and he had remembered it in his heart, Guan Xiaoguan jumped up happily, hugged Yan Jiekuang and kissed him.

After the kiss, she buried herself in Yan Jiekuang’s arms, not daring to look up.

Yan Jiekuang did not expect that he would have an unexpected gain, but he was not one to suffer a loss, so he hugged Guan Xiaoguan tightly and kissed her.

Just when the two of them were about to get really angry and take a step closer, Guan Xiaoguan pushed him away: "Not here."

This made Yan Jiekuang regain his sanity. This was indeed not the right place. "Then let's wait until after we get married. It's getting late now. I'll take you home."

Guan Xiaoguan nodded, and the two of them walked slowly towards Guan's house, hand in hand.

After entering the house, he found Grandpa Guan sitting in the yard waiting. Yan Jiekuang stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, I brought the lazy cat back."

Old Master Guan glanced at the two of them. He heard a different meaning in Yan Jiekuang's address.
