Restaurants connect to everything? It's reasonable for me to make 1 billion, right?

Chapter 410 The Magical Firewood

Sheng Jiu had originally wanted to try making something like an iron pot stew.

But it was too late, absolutely too late.

Pot after pot of firewood-cooked rice was devoured as soon as it came out, giving her no chance to try anything else.

After a while, Sheng Jiu couldn't help but wonder: "Wait... isn't this the rice from the cultivation world?"

Why can they still benefit from it?

Rice is rice, but firewood is not.

The system hit the nail on the head.

After listening, Sheng Jiu remained silent for a long time, only instructing Lin Duo to add firewood and cook rice.

Woohoo!

She doesn't want to cook anymore; her hair smells like firewood cooking!
After cooking firewood-cooked meals all night, Sheng Jiu confirmed the benefits of firewood in the wasteland world; that was enough.

Tomorrow, I must stew some mutton or fish.

Definitely, definitely!
After closing for the night, Sheng Jiu told himself this.

After tidying up, Sheng Jiu led Lin Duo and the others back to clean up.

She and Lin Duo ate dinner that night.

Boer and Qingyue haven't met yet.

However, Sheng Jiu left them some firewood and rice.

After unanimous verification by two foodies, the final result was reached.

Rice cooked over a wood fire is really delicious!

Of course, this piece of firewood played a crucial role!

Paul felt it was a real shame that this meal couldn't be provided in the real world.

However, they really can't cook rice over a wood fire here.

There was simply no space available in the kitchen and on the second floor.

Moreover, the extensive use of firewood also poses certain dangers.

So, forget it.

Let's do this for now.

After tidying up, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

Qingyue naturally carried the bucket to the usual spot.

Paul didn't want to sleep too early either, so he went with the other person.

Lin Duo felt that he couldn't just lie there and take a nap, could he?
However, Sheng Jiu was the only one left in the shop, and he was worried, so he sat on the folding bed to study the cultivation technique.

Although Changsun Yanyu and the others have already said that, given Lin Duo's spiritual root attribute, it would be difficult for him to make much progress.

But if we try harder, maybe we can improve a little bit more?
Lin Duo thought that he was still not strong enough, so much so that the small business owner could only go home on the spot after buying things in the Immortal Cultivation City, instead of driving and enjoying the scenery along the way.

Therefore, we need to become even stronger!

Sheng Jiu spent a long time browsing through her jewelry box before finally choosing a bunch of grapes carved from amethyst, which felt cool to the touch.

Although it's cold today, we have the electric heater on inside.

Therefore, adding this one won't make any difference.

Moreover, sleeping with your hands touching wealth might bring you good fortune, allowing you to earn even more money the next day.

So, hug it!

After making her decision, Sheng Jiu changed her clothes and went back to bed.

Sheng Jiu has been sleeping well lately and hasn't been using her phone much before bed. She was just about to turn off the light when her phone lit up.

To minimize disturbances, Sheng Jiu muted everything except for some special settings for family members.

At that moment, her phone screen lit up. She glanced at it and saw that it was a video request from He Ling.

It's almost 10 o'clock now, so the other person has probably just finished their broadcast.

Sheng Jiu picked up the phone and answered it, only to find that the other person was removing their makeup.

Seeing that Sheng Jiu had already changed into her pajamas, He Ling glared at her: "Sleeping so early?"

No?

Don't restaurants usually close at nine or ten o'clock?

After tidying up and stuff, it'll probably be past 11 o'clock before I can go to sleep.
It's not even 10 o'clock yet!
Sheng Jiu replied to her matter-of-factly, "We'll close and rest once we've sold out. We can't force ourselves to stay in business without ingredients."

There's nothing left, how can we sell it?
He Ling wanted to say, "How can they sell out so easily?"

But thinking about the high-quality ingredients Sheng Jiu had, He Ling felt that it was all only right.

That's why He Ling immediately became envious!
Woohoo!

While others were already getting ready for bed, her work was just beginning.

After the live stream ends, there's still a need to review the performance, hold meetings, and examine my performance and any issues that arose. There are also other work arrangements. If I want to sleep, it'll be at least two or three in the morning.

Although He Ling had gotten used to the long-term reversed day and night schedule, she was already used to it.

However, she can't stand seeing others go to bed before 10 p.m.!

However, if it's one's own sisters, then forget it.

After feigning a few sarcastic remarks, He Ling finally got down to business: "By the way, does the company you're dealing with have any jewelry or similar items that they've acquired to settle debts? Ideally, they'd like to offer some discounts."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu guessed that she must have something on her mind, so she nodded: "There's still some left, what's wrong?"

He Ling was immediately relieved when she heard that there were any: "Do you have any bracelets of similar quality to the ones I bought, or any others? Preferably around the same price."

Sheng Jiu thought about what was in the jewelry and then asked the system, which confirmed that it contained the items.

Then, Sheng Jiu nodded: "There should be. I can ask in a bit."

He Ling was even more relieved to hear that: "That's good. Ask the company tomorrow if they have any corresponding pictures and send them to me. If they're suitable, I'll buy them later."

Hearing He Ling say she was going to buy more, Sheng Jiu frowned slightly: "...Isn't it inappropriate to hoard jade and jadeite?"

Even if someone were to hoard, they'd hoard gold and silver!
He Ling knew that Sheng Jiu had misunderstood her, so she immediately explained, "No, it's because my mom saw the bracelet on my wrist and wanted it. She's getting married soon and is planning to have her new husband buy it for her. But her new husband's financial situation isn't that great, so it can't be too expensive. It's best to keep it under 100,000."

Is He Ling's mother getting married?
Sheng Jiu thought she had misheard. She remembered that when she was in college, He Ling's mother had already been married once.

Another knot?

They've divorced again?
He Ling's parents divorced early on, and it is said that her father favored sons over daughters and was abusive.

After discovering that He Ling was a daughter, he didn't care that He's mother was still in postpartum confinement and immediately started hitting her with his fists.

He's mother wasn't one to put up with all this. After her postpartum period, she divorced him and left with her child.

These things happened back in our sophomore year, when the four girls in our dorm got along very well, and He Ling secretly told them about it.

He Ling said her mother is a very free-spirited person; if she feels her husband is not suitable, she will simply divorce him and leave.

However, there is one good thing about He's mother: she has no other children besides He Ling.

Getting married is one thing, but having children is another.

After all, giving birth for the first time left a considerable psychological scar on Ms. He.

Seemingly noticing Sheng Jiu's confusion, He Ling shrugged: "Back in our senior year of college, she had already been divorced once, but she got married again very quickly. Now, she has just finished this relationship. Hearing that I earn a lot, she got interested and wanted to introduce her son to me. My mother brought up divorce after hearing this. Recently, she met a new stepfather, and they get along very well and are preparing to get married."
