I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

It was almost the New Year, and everything was going smoothly. The business of the second branch was really hot, and the income was higher than that of her first branch. This was all thanks to the good interpersonal relationships and good business sense of Liu Yongkang and his wife.

Although Liu Niangzi looks fierce, she is actually kind-hearted and listens to Liu Yongkang. Liu Yongkang is an honest man and stubborn. No matter what his wife says, he will not change his mind.

As for ingredients, Liu Yongkang always insisted on using the freshest and best, which made his wife scold him many times. The weather had been dry for so long, and the vegetables were very precious. The ones that were planted just after the rain were not on the market yet, and the good vegetables were much more expensive than the ones with poor quality. But Liu Yongkang insisted on using the best. Even if they were a little wilted or had some worm holes, he would not accept them.

As their purchase expenses increased, their profits decreased. In addition, some people would keep accounts of gratitude from time to time. Although their business was very hot during this period, they really didn't make much money. If there was anything they made, it was that their reputation gradually became famous.

In a blink of an eye, the year is coming to an end. Since the Yongkang store opened, Qiao Linxi has often served as the shopkeeper here, and the management of the first store has been handed over to Fang Yuting.

It has been a while since winter began. Qiao Linxi wore a bright red cross-collar skirt, with a dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging around her waist. She wore a white fur-collared cloak on the outside, which made her face look even whiter.

She stood behind the counter looking at the account book, and calculating the profits of the Yongkang store during this period.

"Hey, the weather is getting colder. I wonder if it's going to snow."

Madam Liu rubbed her hands and walked towards Qiao Linxi. She also wore a thick cotton jacket and a red apron with the words "Qiao Ji Snack Shop" printed on it. The sleeves were also red. Madam Liu also had a square cloth on her head, which was prepared by Qiao Linxi.

Firstly, wearing this way will make you look energetic. Secondly, wearing a square scarf can also prevent your hair from falling into the dishes, which will affect the business of the store.

"maybe."

Qiao Linxi's left hand was in the hot water bottle, and with his right hand he was flipping through the account book, pressing the computer, and occasionally writing a few numbers with a pen.

"Boss Qiao, your pen and abacus are really useful. It's a pity that we can't use these novel things. We can only use brushes and abacus."

In Qiao Linxi's hand were the gel pen that she exchanged with the system and a calculator that could report numbers. She had also taught Liu Yongkang how to use them, but Liu Yongkang couldn't get used to them after using them many times and always made mistakes, so he put them to use.

"It's just a personal habit."

Madam Liu looked outside and then inside. It was not lunch time, so there were few people in the store. She quietly took out a package wrapped in oil paper from the drawer of the counter.

"Boss Qiao, give me..."

Madam Liu put the thing on the table and opened it. There were a few red persimmons inside.

Qiao Linxi was surprised: "Where did the persimmons come from?"

Madam Liu whispered, "I have a younger sister who married into a big county town. She brought this to me. It's so sweet. Boss Qiao, try it."

Qiao Linxi put down his pen, wiped his hands on his clothes, then picked up a persimmon and took a bite. "So sweet."

These persimmons are not fresh, but are made into persimmon cakes using a special method. They are brightly colored and taste very sweet. Qiao Linxi gave the persimmons an eight in his heart.

"I knew Miss Qiao would like it. Eat it. It's all yours. I saved it especially for you."

Seeing Qiao Linxi eating with a satisfied look on her face, Liu Niangzi was also happy. She looked at that stunning face and wondered who would get the chance. If her son reached the age of getting married, she would definitely match the two of them. Unfortunately, her son was still peeing and playing in the mud.

"Boss Liu, please book two tables."

The sound outside the door broke Liu Niang's wild thoughts. Liu Niang looked over, but only for a moment, her eyes returned to Qiao Linxi, looking back and forth several times.

"Hey, Master Li, you're here. It's cold, come in and warm your hands."

Madam Liu went up to greet him enthusiastically. Li Liangbin was a frequent customer of the store, and Madam Liu also knew him.

Seeing Li Liangbin's eyes, Madam Liu immediately joked: "Oh, Mr. Li, you have other intentions. I thought you came to eat, but you came to see our boss Qiao."

When it comes to herself, Qiao Linxi didn't play dumb. She smiled at Li Liangbin and said, "Maybe they just come here to eat."

Li Liangbin smiled politely and said, "Boss Liu, you are wrong. I came here to eat and visit Miss Qiao. This is not against the law, right?"

Li Liangbin, the son of a wealthy man in Lanqing City, is good-looking and very popular in Lanqing City.

But since he first came to Yongkang store and saw Qiao Linxi, he was moved at that time. In the following days, he would come to Yongkang store every few days to eat something.

Qiao Linxi said, "Of course not. Mr. Li, what would you like to eat? Here is the menu."

The Yongkang store was doing good business. In order to make it easier for everyone to order food, Qiao Linxi made a menu and handed it to Li Liangbin.

Looking at those white and slender fingers, Li Liangbin felt itchy in his heart and wished he could grab Qiao Linxi's hand right now.

"A roast goose with soy sauce, and some flowers blooming and prosperity..."

Li Liangbin ordered seven or eight dishes in one breath, and then pushed the menu in front of Qiao Linxi.

Qiao Linxi wrote down the dishes ordered by Li Liangbin in a notebook, wrote down the prices, and then handed it to Madam Liu.

"Boss Qiao, the weather is getting colder. Have you considered making some stoves to keep the food hot?"

"Mr. Li really cares about our business. The furnace you mentioned has already been made. I will definitely invite Mr. Li to experience it when the time comes."

How can we miss hot pot in winter? Qiao Linxi had already given the blueprint of the furnace to the blacksmith, but he had never made it.

"sure."

Li Liangbin smiled and said goodbye to Qiao Linxi, who was also planning to go back to his shop.

The weather was cold and there were not many customers. Madam Liu did not try to keep Qiao Linxi. She just thought that she was avoiding Li Liangbin.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Liangbin liked Qiao Linxi, but Li Liangbin never broke the window paper, and Qiao Linxi never said it clearly, so the two of them just kept wasting time like this.

After returning to the store, Qiao Linxi unexpectedly saw a box wrapped in paper in his room, with a note on it: To Qiao Linxi, Qiao Ji Snack Shop, Lanqingcheng.

Qiao Linxi was stunned. Is this a courier? When she asked Fang Yuting who sent it, Fang Yuting said it was sent by the post station and she didn't know who sent it.

Qiao Linxi opened it and looked at it. She guessed in her heart that it was sent by Li Liangbin, but she didn't expect that after opening it, it turned out to be a box of hair cream.
