Li Xibao was sitting at the counter, inhaling the fragrance in the air with his nose, looking around in the restaurant.

The master chef invited in person is very good at cooking, and the color paste is delicious. Any guest who comes in is not satisfied with the food.

Although not many customers came in, Li Xibao felt that there was no problem with his restaurant.

It was past noon.

All the diners had gone.

Li Erhu took the abacus and tapped it.

"How is it? Erhu, how much did we earn?" Li Dahu asked while watching.

"How can it be possible to make money? On the first day of today, it was either half price or free. We didn't earn anything, but lost seven or eight taels of silver."

Hearing this, Sun Cuihua lifted the curtain and came out.

"What are you afraid of? Today is just the first day. The first day doesn't mean anything."

"That's right. Our county is big and there are many restaurants. Our restaurant is not as conspicuous as it was in the town. It's normal to have fewer customers. We must have a way to make money." Li Dashan was very confident.

Li Xibao's thinking is similar to that of Li Dashan and his wife. At the beginning, their family developed from a meat pie seller to a restaurant, and resisted Wang Shancai's competition and suppression. They also have experience in business.

Li Xibao called out: "Mother, we are all hungry, let's eat."

"Okay, here we come, this meal will be ready soon."

At the dinner table, everyone was in a good mood, only Xiao Chong frowned silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Chong, what's the matter?" Li Xibao asked while pulling him.

"It's okay, I should go to the academy to study tomorrow."

"Does Xiao Chong have an idea in his heart?" Li Dashan smiled, "You, put your heart into your stomach and study hard, don't you have me at home?"

"That's right." Xiao Chong nodded and didn't say anything else.

That night, the family went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Li Xibao watched Xiao Chong go to the academy, and then dragged Li Dahu and others to help in the back kitchen.

Originally, they were also going to study, but they haven't decided which school to go to yet, so fortunately they will help out at home first.

Noon is approaching.

There was a bell ringing outside the academy.

"Okay, let's learn here today, school is over." The master's scroll of the academy sent a message.

When the group of students heard this, their eyes lit up immediately, each of them packed up their things and ran outside.

Xiao Chong walked in the crowd unhurriedly.

I don't know how the business at home is going.

Although the restaurant was quite lively on the first day of opening yesterday, he always felt that something was wrong.Because that day, except for those who got the rewards, almost no one else entered the restaurant.

In such a bustling Gaohu County, isn't there anyone who takes the initiative to go in and eat?

"Xiao Chong, Xiao Chong." Wu Ziming ran over behind her and hugged her shoulders, "What are you doing here? Are you going to the public kitchen for dinner?"

"I won't go to the public kitchen anymore. I want to go home and have a look. The family just opened for business today. I don't know if the sales are good."

"That's right. You have a family in this county. You don't have to spend money to live in the dormitory like us. You didn't go in the dormitory. There are ten people in one room. It's hot, but there are still people there." Wash your feet, I feel like throwing up when I sleep at night."

"In the future, if I have a place to arrange, I will arrange for you to live there."

"That's okay, I don't want to trouble you either."

The two of them walked to the gate while talking.

"Xiao Chong, I'm going to the public kitchen for dinner first, see you later."

"Well, see you later."

Xiao Chong walked down the street with his head buried.

The carriage drivers carrying the sedan chairs all passed by him, and he didn't care who it was, just walked forward silently.

"Hey, Li Chong!"

It was someone calling him from behind that made him stop.

Xiao Chong looked back, and saw a head protruding from a blue sedan chair, with distinctive facial features and wealth on top of his head.

It was Song Pingting who had been rescued before.

"It's you……"

"It's me." Song Pingting got out of the sedan chair, dressed brightly, looking much better than the last time we met.

"Is the wound on your head healed?"

"Yeah, it's much better. That old man of yours is really good at medicine." Song Pingting raised her head, "Are you caring about me?"

Xiao Chong didn't answer, "I just finished school and I'm going home."

"Hey, you've come to study at Ciren Academy, haven't you?"

"Ah."

"My brother is also studying there."

"Well, there are many students there."

"Hey, Li Chong, do you know my brother?"

"I heard someone say it today." Xiao Chong pretended to be serious and said truthfully, "Miss Song, my family's business is open today, so I have to go back early."

"Business opened? You mean your family came to the county to do business?"

"It's a restaurant."

"Why don't you tell me, where and when it opened, I will go with you to cheer for it."

"Miss, madam told you to go home, saying that there is an important guest." The coachman came over and said.

"But Miss Ben also has guests now. This is my savior. You tell my mother, just say that I saw my savior, and I will go back later by myself. You can go back by yourself first."

"This……"

"Don't you listen to Miss Ben?"

"Yes, since the lady said so, I will go back first. Miss, please pay attention to safety, there are bad people everywhere on this street."

"Crap!"

After driving away the coachman, Song Pingting followed Xiao Chong and walked quickly down the street.

Although Xiao Chong is three years old than Song Pingting, he is naturally tall, so looking at it this way, he looks like he is the same age.

"Where is your restaurant? Is it too far away?"

"No, just ahead."

"Is your whole family here?"

"Ah."

"Your sister Li Xi is also here?"

"Ah."

"I've heard my aunt say that Li Xi is a young genius studying medicine."

"Correct."

"But she is a little girl, and she will have to marry in the future..."

"Here we are." Xiao Chong said, interrupting Song Pingting's words.

Song Pingting looked at the door plaque in front of her, then looked around, and suddenly frowned tightly, "Li Chong, why did your family open a restaurant here?"

"What's wrong here?" Xiao Chong was surprised.

"This is a notoriously unlucky place."

In front, Sun Cuihua is soliciting customers.

"Guest officer, come here to eat, it's a newly opened shop, so..."

After hearing Song Pingting's words, Sun Cuihua hurried over, "Girl, you are..."

"Aunt Li, this is Miss Song Pingting Song."

"It turned out to be Miss Song, but she just said that this place is unlucky?"

"Yeah, don't you know?" Song Pingting looked very frightened, "This shop is notoriously unlucky, and almost everyone who rents this shop for business will not exceed three months , it must be closed down."
