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

Looking at the old man's outstretched hand, Qiao Linxi touched his nose awkwardly: "Well, I can't take out the money right now."

The old man was delighted when he heard this. He stopped writing and looked at Qiao Linxi: "Little girl, you are trying to get something for nothing. You are so young and yet you are still learning all these treacherous tricks."

"Grandpa," Qiao Linxi's voice was very soft, "I'm not cunning at all. I'm just short of money. Besides, I have to buy tables and chairs. Give me a few days, and I will definitely give it to you before the end of this month. If you can't give it to me on time, you can kick me out. I'm not selling other things. It's useless to stay in your shop for a few days and then run away. I make food and I'll be here every day."

"I'll guarantee her. If she can't pay the two taels of silver by the end of the month, I'll pay for her."

With Li Guancha's guarantee, the old man didn't say anything and wrote the contract. He also emphasized that if Qiao Linxi couldn't pay by the end of the month, don't blame him for being rude.

In this way, Qiao Linxi successfully rented a shop. The next step was to find a carpenter to buy tables, bowls, chopsticks, and plaques.

Qiao Linxi plans to start with the simplest steamed buns and dumpling soup.

She also asked a carpenter to customize the labels and prices of some dishes.

For example, steamed buns cost one cent each, while a bowl of vegetarian dumpling soup costs six cents, and adding meat costs ten cents.

Of course, Qiao Linxi also used the same method to buy things. To put it bluntly, all of them were for nothing.

When she asked the carpenter to deliver the tables and chairs, she said that she ran a snack bar here and would not run away, and asked him to come back in a few days to get the money. The one who delivered the bowls and chopsticks said the same thing, which stunned Zhang Huawei and Li Guanchai. There was only one voice in her heart, saying that this was also OK.

In order to open the business as soon as possible, Qiao Linxi first tore a piece of cloth, wrote the name of the store on it and hung it up, and then replaced it when the plaque arrived.

Seeing that the shop was almost ready, Qiao Linxi felt relieved. She stood in front of the shop with her hands on her waist and said, "Now everything is ready, we just need the east wind."

"Miss Lin Xi, you see, the only things you need now are a stove and firewood. Do you need my help to get them for you?"

Officer Li has been following Qiao Linxi for the whole day today, doing his best. No matter what his purpose is, Qiao Linxi appreciates his kindness.

"Brother Li, you've worked hard all day today. I'll buy the stove myself. As for the firewood, I'll get it when I come over tomorrow. Thank you."

After a pause, Qiao Linxi continued, "If Brother Li is not busy tomorrow, please come over for a quick meal. That would be great."

"No need to be so polite. I will definitely come over tomorrow to ask for a drink."

Li Guanchai was about to say goodbye when he heard Qiao Linxi say that she would see him off. He had originally postponed it, but Qiao Linxi said that she was going to the government office to personally invite the county magistrate to come for dinner tomorrow, so Li Guanchai did not refuse.

Qiao Linxi also knew that the county magistrate was flattering a little girl like her only for Gu Changfeng's sake. But since they had this relationship, Qiao Linxi didn't intend to give it up. She would use it to her benefit.

In the carriage, Qiao Linxi looked at the carriage and sighed, everything was going so smoothly, so smoothly that she could hardly believe it.

"Of course it will go smoothly. The host has me, Little Jiujiu! The host has activated the business system. Anything related to business will be blessed by the system, making everything go smoothly."

Thank you so much.

Oh, by the way, Qiao Linxi suddenly thought of a question. The system said that the host bound to the system in their system world will enter the next world after completing the task. Then when will her task here be considered completed?

"Alas, why is the host so stupid? As long as the host is still alive, he needs to live and survive."

What I mean is, when I die, this mission will be completed?

"Yes."

So will I go to another world after I die?

"I don't know. After the host I followed before died, I chose a new host. But there is no relationship between them."

Sure enough, when a person dies, it is like a light going out.

They soon arrived at the government office, and the county magistrate went out to greet them in person. Upon learning that Qiao Linxi wanted to treat him to a meal, the county magistrate readily agreed and even said that he would bring his wife along.

Qiao Linxi did this entirely for himself. Although the owners of nearby shops came to remind him kindly, it didn't mean they wouldn't make trouble. If they saw him treating the county magistrate to a meal, even if they wanted to do something, they would have to think twice.

After finishing all this, the sun was already setting, and Qiao Linxi and Zhang Huawei then headed towards the western suburbs.

Seeing them coming in the opposite direction, Officer Li asked in surprise: "Miss Lin Xi, where do you live..."

"On the map I showed you that day." Qiao Linxi smiled and did not ask whether Li Guanchai and Ye Jinglai knew each other.

"That place..."

"It's nothing. We want to settle down in Lanqing City. We can't always live in someone else's house. Let's go. Brother Li, remember to bring sister-in-law over for dinner tomorrow."

Qiao Linxi has more than a thousand gratitude points in his system, which can be exchanged for many things, so it is no problem to treat people to a meal.

The group of children who returned home were all waiting for Qiao Linxi. They sat in a row on the doorstep, looking forward to seeing Qiao Linxi day and night.

When he heard the sound of a carriage, he ran over happily.

"Go, go, go and have fun. I didn't bring any delicious food."

"Sister, we are worried about you, not about the delicious food." The rascal Qiao Linshu hugged Qiao Linxi's arm and acted coquettishly.

"I have something else to do. You guys go play first and I'll cook when I'm done."

Qiao Linxi thought of a problem, that is, they now only have one carriage, which is too luxurious and it would be a pity to use it to transport goods, so she planned to use those wooden boards to make a simple carriage to transport goods.

Although Zhang Huawei was concerned about Ajing, he really treated Qiao Linxi as his master. When he knew that Qiao Linxi wanted to make a cart to transport goods, he took the initiative to look for wood.

Qiao Linxi gathered all the children together because she was going to treat people to dinner at the store tomorrow, so she had to take these children with her.

"We are going to cook for people in the shop tomorrow, so you all have to help. But I have no more money. See if you have any money. Take it out first and go buy things. When we open the shop and make money, I will make up for it. Do you think it's okay?"

"Sister Lin Xi, what are you talking about? This money was originally given to us by you. Now that you need it, of course we have to take it out."

All the children took out their money on their own initiative. Qiao Linxi counted it and found that there was still more than three taels left. It seemed that the children in the Qiao family were very frugal. Three taels of silver could buy a lot of noodles.

"Sister, can we have a big dinner tomorrow?"
