224. Chapter 224 I plan to also teach you some money‑making foods.

Qiao Sheng refused to accept it, she pushed it back: "I'm teaching you because you're my friend and you've been good to us…"

She had no intention of accepting it.

Zhang Qiao, however, insisted on giving it: "I know, but you must accept it; if you don't, you're not treating me as a friend."

No matter what Qiao Sheng said.

Zhang Qiao still insisted on giving it.

Qiao Sheng couldn't argue with her, so she had to accept it; after taking it, she counted out some and returned the rest, saying: "Since you want to settle accounts clearly, it'll be six for you, four for me—I provided the recipe, I didn't contribute anything else."

"You took it today, you came to help me today—how is that contributing nothing?"

As soon as Zhang Qiao said that.

Qiao Sheng, at a loss for words, took the money back.

Back at the shop.

Qiao Hushui and the others were already busy, so Qiao Sheng didn't say anything at that moment; only after finishing lunch did she mention how well Zhang Qiao's food had sold today.

Lan Yue Niang said, "If it sells well, that's good—it'll make their family's life a bit easier."

"Exactly."

Qiao Hushui and the others echoed.

Seeing they had nothing else to say, Qiao Sheng told them, "Dad, Mom, Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister, I also plan to teach you some money‑making foods."

There's no reason to teach outsiders but not our own family.

If others found out, they'd surely start gossiping again.

Of course.

Qiao Sheng wasn't afraid of what they might say; she just didn't want Qiao Hushui and the others to drift away from her.

Qiao Hushui declared, "Lianhua, we don't need it; we just help you make it."

Lan Yue Niang and the others thought the same.

For now, that's fine.

What about later?

Qiao Sheng had thought further ahead, and she said in an even tone: "All right, just as I said, having you help me for a month wouldn't earn much, but if we opened a shop, it would be different."

She would give them a bit more money, but wouldn't opening a shop earn more?

Since we're talking about teaching, let's teach.

Qiao Sheng bought the ingredients today, then came back and taught them how to make tea‑leaf eggs and soy milk.

Besides those two.

Qiao Sheng also plans to teach scallion oil pancakes, shredded radish pancakes, fried pancake snacks, grilled mutton skewers, and iron‑plate tofu.

Of course, we should teach our own family a few more items.

Qiao Sheng taught seriously, and Qiao Hushui and the others learned seriously; by the end of the day, each of them had mastered it.

Worried that someone with ill intent might trick them into giving away the recipe.

After teaching them, Qiao Sheng chatted with them for a long time.

It's best if they just know it themselves and don't disclose it to others; otherwise, if someone learns it, they'll compete with them for business.

If Qiao Lihua and the others marry someday, they can teach their own husbands, but it's best not to teach anyone else in their husbands' families; if they open a shop, they should do it elsewhere, so each of their businesses can thrive.

Seeing Qiao Sheng think so far ahead, Qiao Lihua and the others couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

At the same time, they were deeply moved.

She had thought of everything for them.

Find a shop.

Qiao Sheng helped Qiao Hushui and the others look for a shop; the one they found isn't far from her restaurant—it's on the neighboring street.

Once the shop is secured, the next step is to pick an opening date and then prepare everything needed to open for business.

Hire staff.

Qiao Sheng advised them not to hire the Gao family; if they came, there would certainly be no peace.

The first day.

She didn't want it to be so aggravating.

Qiao Hushui and the others had no objections.

Without them.

Qiao Sheng's restaurant was too much for her to handle alone, so after thinking it over she decided to let Chun Xue and the others come help at the shop—after all, there isn't much to do during the daytime.

In the blink of an eye, the opening day arrived.

Early in the morning.

Qiao Hushui and the others got busy.
