It thrived for a while because of its cold noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, it had a downturn, but the owner of Jiu Si Xuan was skilled and quickly stabilized its old patrons while also attracting new ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though people still yearn for the previous cold noodles, the desire isn’t as strong now that the weather has cooled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper is quite honest, but Fulin Restaurant is indeed a bit small; the location is okay, but it’s not the prime location the shopkeeper claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qingshan Town, there are two prime locations, one occupied by Jiu Si Xuan and the other by Xue Yi’s First-class Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang would prefer the restaurant to be closer to these two places because only then would people gather nearby; otherwise, other businesses would struggle since all the customers are attracted to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shopkeeper, your offer is indeed tempting, and I find it agreeable, but Fulin Restaurant is small after all, with limited capacity for guests at one time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, regarding the convenience you mentioned, you know what kind of shops are around here. How about this, let’s both take a step back, ninety taels, and tomorrow I can sign the contract with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang’s initial budget was a hundred taels, and saving ten taels would provide startup funds for the restaurant, so there wouldn’t be a worry about having no money to buy ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" The shopkeeper looked hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fulin, after all, was his creation, and business was indeed decent before, earning ten or so taels a month, nearly a hundred taels a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the current situation, operating each day results in a day’s loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this, give me a hundred and twenty taels, and I will give you a small courtyard with an entrance and exit, two bedrooms, a storeroom, plus a hall and kitchen; the house may be small, but it’s livable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This offer from the shopkeeper essentially meant selling Mu Shuangshuang a small courtyard for thirty taels, which indeed was expensive, but if it actually had so many rooms, it would save Mu Shuangshuang a lot of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang looked at Lu Yuanfeng, wanting to know his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng said, \"Shuangshuang, why don’t we buy it? I’ll figure out the money part!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng knew Mu Shuangshuang’s initial budget was about a hundred taels as there were plenty of expenses due to building a school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this current price, she surely couldn’t bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Yuanfeng’s words, Mu Shuangshuang clenched her teeth and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, shopkeeper, I’ll bring a hundred and twenty taels tomorrow, and we can have someone witness it and sign the contract, does that work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile finally spread across the shopkeeper’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal! Once the contract is finalized tomorrow, I’ll close this restaurant.\" As he spoke, the shopkeeper looked as if a burden had been lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang, however, had another question: \"Shopkeeper, forgive my boldness, but if you close the restaurant, are the staff also being let go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that Mu Shuangshuang was being overly curious, it’s just that the year-end is approaching, and people need money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to dismiss these people now, what would that mean for their future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, young lady, rest assured, I’ve already spoken with the restaurant staff and the steward, their wages will be settled by the eighth day of the new year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who wish to keep working can continue, those who don’t can take a break at home, but once I close the restaurant, they can’t stay there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else will have to be arranged by the new owner!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper’s words put Mu Shuangshuang at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t possibly take on all the staff at the restaurant, after all, each person’s temperament and character have yet to be proven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang wants to create the best restaurant, and naturally, she wants to choose the most suitable people for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terms with Fulin were settled, just waiting for Mu Shuangshuang to bring the silver tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang naturally didn’t have a hundred and twenty taels in hand, so she and Lu Yuanfeng went to First-class Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her appearance greatly surprised Xue Yi, who looked behind Mu Shuangshuang, puzzled by the absence of Xue Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Shuangshuang, what brings you here today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was previously agreed not to deliver cold noodles during the cold season, so Xue Yi thought it shouldn’t be business-related.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to sell the cold noodle recipe to you,\" Mu Shuangshuang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Xue Yi wondered if he had misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of Jiu Si Xuan had spent so much money and couldn’t get Mu Shuangshuang’s recipe, and now she’s offering it to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yi couldn’t understand, thinking that as long as cold noodles and century eggs were supplied to him every few days, Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t starve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in his eyes, those two items were like a hen that lays golden eggs; as long as the hen doesn’t die, there’s always money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang’s approach of killing the hen to get the eggs wasn’t something Xue Yi could agree with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m prepared to sell you the cold noodle recipe,\" Mu Shuangshuang repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won’t regret it?\" Xue Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No regrets, once I decide on something, I never overthink it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do you want for it?\" Xue Yi continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventy taels!\" Mu Shuangshuang replied seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Miss Shuangshuang, are you joking with me? A recipe for only seventy taels?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps you find it absurd, but Shuangshuang only needs this much money, and of course, there’s a second condition I haven’t mentioned: I want to use the remaining silver to invest in your cold noodle business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selling the recipe for seventy taels was universally regarded as a losing deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if she used the remaining value as an investment, it wouldn’t seem foolish at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yi laughed heartily, finding the young girl in front of him exceedingly clever, unlike what he had believed before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You clever girl, you’re just as I imagined, but...why do you think I would agree to your request?\" Xue Yi didn’t intend to make things difficult for Mu Shuangshuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he agreed to Mu Shuangshuang’s request, her status before him would be different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young men his mother favored wouldn’t hold as much weight as a business partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, I have the ability; besides this type of cold noodle, I have another good item for cooling down in summer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, Xue Zheng now communicates with people without much issue, so I’m a benefactor to the Xue family. If I never ask for anything, you would feel uneasy. I assume Boss Xue doesn’t like to owe debts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang’s words, in fact, carried a risk-taking element in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy to offend people, but with Xue Yi, she was betting correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Xue Yi extended his hand, \"I hope we have a pleasant partnership!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-10T06:01:51.374Z",1,"novelbin.me","8ff8b103a4448fbbca2a778f0000b05dd78d0cda3f96d594f6171a2990a4f511","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-797","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-795",1282,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-cover.jpg"]
