Chapter 12 When Qian Xiaomi was renovating the house, the neighbors all came over out of curiosity to take a look. Once the signboard for “Qian Xiaomi’s Shop” was hung, their curiosity grew even more. Wasn’t Qian Xiaomi still in high school? Why was she opening a shop? Was she dropping out of school? Qian Xiaomi had previously set up her street food stands in the eastern, southern, and western parts of town—nowhere near her home. Though Zibo City isn’t large, Qian Jianing had only been…-

Chapter 11 Considering the midday foot traffic and the level of acceptance from the nearby residents, Qian Jianing brought out five hundred portions of liangpi. At first, Li Wanzhen was worried they wouldn’t sell out and might go bad, but now she realized that just her daughter standing there was like having a living billboard—there was no such thing as not selling out, only not being fast enough to get some. The shredded cucumber and carrot she brought along were quickly used up. Qian Jianing…

Chapter 10 There were only two days left until payday. The finance department had just withdrawn tens of thousands of yuan and hadn’t unpacked it yet, so there was readily available cash on hand.

Li Wanzhen stuffed three stacks of big denomination bills into her backpack, feeling a…

Chapter 9 Summer mornings are the coolest time of day. Qian Jianing glanced at the clock on the wall—five o’clock sharp. She was surprised it was still so early. After drinking that glass of wine and following the Food Elder through his mortal past, waking up again felt like waking from a dream. Tiptoeing out of bed, Qian Jianing quietly washed up, changed clothes, and rode her tricycle out. Today she was selling liangpi (cold skin noodles), so she bought over ten pounds of cucumbers and carrots,…

Chapter 8 Compared to Qian Guosheng, Li Wanzhen was the more decisive one. Once persuaded by Qian Jianing, she seriously started considering doing business herself. Selling food was a low-cost, high-return venture. Opening a shop, as Jianing had suggested, wasn’t impossible, but Li Wanzhen believed it would be more profitable to push a food cart around until she built a reputation. Although this would be more exhausting, Li Wanzhen didn't mind hard work—after all, no one ever got rich by simply…

Chapter 7 Hearing a cat meowing outside, Qian Jianing, who was doing her homework, suddenly froze. She slowly looked up at the window shrouded in darkness. Chen Kai had called out a few times without anyone coming out, and seemed to be getting impatient. He wanted to knock on the door but was worried that Qian Jianing’s father might be home. He paced back and forth outside the front gate twice, then picked up a rock from the ground and threw it inside, hitting the tricycle with a crisp "thud." Qian…

Chapter 6 Li Wanzhen washed her face and started preparing breakfast. Qian Jianing cleaned the meat and asked Li Wanzhen for a large cutting board, which she placed on the big table in the courtyard. She first diced a piece of meat and then began mincing it for filling. At first, Li Wanzhen thought Qian Jianing's enthusiasm would last no more than three minutes. Once her hands got tired and her arms sore, she would probably give up on the whole idea of running a small business. While Li Wanzhen was…

Chapter 5 “A Pixiu?” Treasure Bowl’s chubby little face twisted into an expression of deep conflict. “This Pixiu carving looks nothing like the real thing! It’s so ugly—how could it possibly be a Pixiu? It’s, at best, a mishmash of random animals.” Qian Jianing’s smile froze on her face. She turned her head in silence to keep carving her little bunny. Just then, Food Elder finished a game and, in a rare move, put down his phone. He strolled over to glance at the Pixiu in Treasure…
