My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 3.3. Finding someone to repair the house

After buying the silver wire charcoal, Baihu Yaoyao went to the vegetable market.

There is still a market in this Peach Blossom Town, but there are hardly any people selling things in the dead of winter.

Even with mental preparation, the bleak market situation still gave her a headache.

In this market, the vegetables for sale are mostly cabbage, radishes, and potatoes, and they all look wrinkled and wilted.

Then there were a few people selling chickens and eggs.

The butcher can just wait for her to go back and buy pork from Aunt Wang's son.

"You, you! All of you, please deliver the groceries to my house!"

Bai Hu Yaoyao pointed at the group and simply bought up everything in the market.

There weren't many of these items to begin with, and she bought them because she was thinking of reopening her restaurant.

There has to be a business that makes money, right?
The only skills she's good at, besides doing some missions as a mercenary, are cooking!
She went from being a single woman in her twenties to a fifteen-year-old kid in an instant. She can't do other chores, but she can still cook.

She can't possibly expect anyone to send her ginseng again, can she?

You'll probably only encounter one sucker like this once in your life—someone who uses ginseng as payment for food.

Who can blame her for always having bad luck?

Little did the white fox Yaoyao know that she would receive many more treasures in the future!
"Alright! We'll deliver it to your home right away!"

The vegetable vendors were surprised that their produce sold out so quickly.

They followed Bai Hu Yaoyao to the backyard of the restaurant and paid the bill one by one.

"If you have any vegetables at home in the future, as long as they are fresh, you can send them to me. Chicken, duck, fish and meat are all welcome."

She'll need these things when she opens a restaurant in the future, and having them delivered to her doorstep will save her a lot of trouble.

"Okay, okay! We'll definitely bring the vegetables over when we have them."

"Young master, please wait! We're leaving now!"

The group took the money and left with smiles on their faces.

When the white fox Yaoyao arrived at the cellar where the vegetables were stored, the vegetables hadn't even filled a single corner.

I counted the eggs; there were two hundred in total, enough to last for a few days.

If you want to open a restaurant, you first need to renovate it and then find someone to do the renovation.

When they arrived at the door, they saw that Aunt Wang's son had already started selling meat.

"Brother Dazhu, don't you want these pig offal?"

The pig offal was thrown into a bamboo basket; it was frozen solid and rock hard!

Wang Dazhu chuckled, "This stuff smells fishy and nobody wants it. I'll bury it on the back hill after I sell all the pork."

This is how they handle the pig offal when they slaughter pigs.

"No! If Brother Dazhu doesn't want it, I'll keep it!"

This stuff is delicious when it's cooked properly.

Wang Dazhu cut her a piece of meat. "You silly girl! If you want to eat meat, I'll cut you some. Why are you eating that stuff? It's all fishy and smelly."

Baihu Yaoyao smiled, took out some silver and handed it to him, "Brother Dazhu, this stuff tastes especially good! I'll make some for you when I get it!"

"Now that I have money, I won't extend credit to you. This tael of silver was a loan from you. I'll give you an extra twenty copper coins, and I'll take all your offal with me."

The white fox Yaoyao gave him the money for the meat and the one tael of silver she had borrowed.

Wang Dazhu scratched his head sheepishly, "Why are you being so polite? I'll take the money, and I'll even cut you a piece of meat!"

As he spoke, he cut off another piece of meat for her.

The white fox Yaoyao didn't refuse, and left with the meat and pig offal.

As noon approached, I took out two eggs and made an egg pancake.

I also made a stew with cabbage and pork.

I cooked another pot of millet porridge.

With so few ingredients available, there's not much we can do to make anything else. Being able to eat our fill is already a good thing.

After finishing her meal, Bai Hu Yaoyao simply closed the door. The room was warm and cozy with a charcoal fire burning inside.

Soaking your feet in hot water can help reduce the pain of chilblains.

She applied the frostbite ointment the old man had given her to her hands and feet, then snuggled into her warm bed for a lazy nap. She had stayed up too late last night and was feeling listless.

This little body isn't very durable!
I slept until mid-afternoon.

When I woke up, my hands and feet, which had been treated with ointment, were actually healed.

"That old man's ointment is surprisingly effective."

Her hands and feet were fair and tender, with no signs of redness or swelling.

Carefully put away the remaining ointment; it's a valuable item!

The white fox Yaoyao then put on her thick clothes and a cloak, preparing to go out.

Then it started snowing heavily again, and it didn't look like it would stop anytime soon.

The white fox Yaoyao found the home of an old man who specialized in decorating and building houses.

"Grandpa Gu, are you home?"

The Gu family's house was two alleys away from her family's restaurant, and she arrived quickly.

Grandpa Gu's family has lived in Taoyuan Town for generations. Because of their house-building and repair skills, they have lived a very good life.

Grandpa Gu's house has ten rooms, and his children and grandchildren all live together. They are considered a respectable family in this town.

"Who?"

Squeak!

The door opened, and a thin old man came out.

Bai Hu Yaoyao smiled and said, "Grandpa Gu, I've come to ask you to fix my house."

She stated her purpose directly.

When the old man saw that it was Bai Hu Yaoyao, he smiled and let her in.

"It's Yaoyao! Hurry up and come inside to warm up. What are you doing repairing the house in the dead of winter?"

The two went to the main room one after the other.

The white fox Yaoyao said, "You've seen the restaurant my father left me. It's uninhabitable now. I'm asking you to help me repair it."

The old man took a puff of his pipe and said, "Alright! When do you want it fixed? That way I can go buy the materials."

At this moment, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old man walked in. When she saw that it was Bai Hu Yaoyao, her expression was very unpleasant.

"Dad, it would cost a lot of money to repair her dilapidated restaurant! Does she have the money?"

Liu Cuihua simply refused to let her father-in-law fix it for her.

Everyone knows that after Baihu Yaoyao's father died, her mother remarried, leaving her with only one daughter who struggled to even feed herself, let alone have the money to repair a house.
Do you expect them to lend them money?
They will never lend money again!

Baihu Yaoyao felt a little embarrassed. After her father died, her mother often borrowed money from all over the place.

My mother borrowed a lot from Grandpa Gu, but the main problem was that she never paid it back.

It's understandable that people don't give her a friendly look.

"Aunt Cuihua, don't worry. I came here this time for two reasons: first, to repay your money, and second, to ask Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu to help repair the house."

As he spoke, he took out fifty taels of silver from his purse.

“Grandpa Gu, my mother borrowed ten taels of silver from you. I will return it to you now. Consider the rest as a deposit for the house repairs. I will give you the rest of the money after the house is repaired.”

Grandpa Gu's family are all kind-hearted. Liu Cuihua's cold attitude towards her is also because of her mother.

It's a bit embarrassing to talk about.

After her father died, her mother spent her days in tears. She was like a delicate parasitic vine, the kind of person who couldn't live without a man.

Seeing that there was no hope for life, the mother took a fancy to Gu Cheng, the eldest son of Grandpa Gu, and insisted on becoming his concubine.

Liu Cuihua was Gu Cheng's wife, so she was definitely unwilling. From then on, Liu Cuihua disliked them, mother and daughter.

If it were her, she definitely wouldn't have liked a daughter who was eager to become someone's mistress.

It's good that Liu Cuihua didn't kick her out immediately when she saw her today.

The white fox Yaoyao sighed, "What a terrible thing!"
Grandpa Gu looked at the silver, his eyes filled with shock. "Yaoyao, where did you get this money? We must never do anything bad."

The old man thought the child had gone astray.
