Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

"They're just material possessions. Give me some time, and I'll show you what it means to start from scratch."

Just kidding, it would be strange if a time traveler cared about such a small amount of wealth.

What's more, he also has a cheat code.

As long as I continue to grow stronger, it's only a matter of time before I reach the pinnacle of this world. How could my vision be limited to such a narrow scope?

Feng Qi reached out and touched the stove, her clear, beautiful eyes fixed on him, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.

Seeing that Feng Qi seemed unconvinced, Lin Yu pointed to the large pot steaming in front of him.

"Just you wait, today I'll show you what a business mind really is."

After about an hour, the braised pork was almost done, just like yesterday.

The spicy aroma wafted further and further into the air, smelling incredibly tempting in this cold winter.

Lin Yu had already scouted the area when he came to town to buy things yesterday.

They found a suitable location to set up their stall.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 9 was very rewarding, and the future looks promising.

It is said that good wine needs no bush, and Lin Yu, who knows the charm of braised pork offal well, chose a slightly remote location.

After all, wherever there are people, there are conflicts and troubles. It's best to avoid such conflicts and troubles as much as possible.

He hasn't reached that level of invulnerability yet. If he were to get injured and die from tetanus before even seeing any of the characters in the story, that would be too embarrassing.

After the pot lid was opened, the billowing white steam rose into the sky, attracting many passersby who had been watching the stall.

"Braised pork offal! Freshly cooked braised pork offal!"

"A chilly wind blows, hot soup boils, delicious braised pork offal~"

Having decided to set up a stall, Lin Yu naturally let loose and started hawking his wares.

Soon, someone came up and asked.

"What is this braised pork offal? I don't think I've ever seen it before."

"Three coins a bowl, you won't regret it, it's guaranteed to be delicious!"

Lin Yu spoke with great confidence.

"Three pennies?"

The other party was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Looking at the radishes and meat bubbling in the red soup, and the enticing aroma in the air, his Adam's apple bobbed.

“Give me a bowl!”

"Okay!"

Lin Yu smiled as he made his first sale.

Even a wealthy young lady like Feng Qi was attracted by the smell of braised pork offal, let alone ordinary people.

Lin Yu was quite confident about this.

As for pricing, Lin Yu had it all figured out. The money he earned so far was hard-earned, which could be considered as accumulating capital.

They operate on a low-profit, high-volume model.

A set of sanitary napkins costs twenty coins, and other miscellaneous items add up to ten coins.

The cost is thirty coins, which can sell for about forty-five bowls.

In other words, Lin Yu made a net profit of 105 coins from each suitcase.

This is just the beginning. Once business picks up, getting two or three sets of equipment into the water a day will be no problem at all.

At this rate, it will take about three days to earn one string of cash.

Two days is enough to cover Fengqi's initial investment, and finding a place to settle down in the city in a few months is not a problem at all.

Once spring arrives, I'll save up more money so I can start a bigger business, like distilling spirits or making perfumes and soaps.

I've read so many time-travel novels, and they weren't for nothing.

Once the first bowl of braised pork was sold, the rest was predictable. After watching the man eat it, sweating profusely and exclaiming how delicious it was, it was a truly satisfying experience.

The onlookers around generously donated money, all wanting to try it.

In the dead of winter, who wouldn't want to stay warm?

For just three coins, you can get meat and keep warm—it's a great deal!

Of course, while selling braised pork offal, Lin Yu did not forget to strengthen himself.

Although I can't box now, I can still do a horse stance.

He earns money by selling braised dishes to improve his cooking skills while also improving his physical fitness—killing two birds with one stone.

[You are currently using your culinary skills. Cooking skill +2!]

With system notifications and the enthusiasm of passersby, the entire batch of items sold out shortly after it went into the water.

Lin Yu smiled and bowed to those who hadn't managed to buy anything.

"Sorry, all the braised pork is sold out. We weren't very well prepared for today, the first day. Please come early tomorrow."

Many people who hadn't yet eaten complained a couple of times upon seeing this, but didn't say anything else.

Instead, quite a few people specifically inquired about the time they would be setting up their stall tomorrow.

After he had finished packing up, Lin Yu glanced at the sky and realized it was still early.

The popularity of braised pork offal far exceeded his expectations.

Hearing the clinking of coins tucked in his pocket, Lin Yu smiled.

"So, how about it? Was this investment worthwhile?"

Feng Qi hadn't expected Lin Yu's business to be so booming on his first day of setting up a stall.

The human in front of me seems to have some talent.

"Oh."

However, despite having such thoughts in mind, the response remained indifferent.

Lin Yu didn't mind; after spending so much time together, he already knew what kind of person Feng Qi was.

"Come on, it's still early. Let's go buy some more wastewater and fix it up. That will save us a lot of trouble tomorrow."

After packing up the stall, Lin Yu smiled and said to Feng Qi.

The biggest inconvenience now is that the journey from the village to the town is too long, and it's not safe or convenient to go back too late.

Upon arriving at the butcher shop, Lin Yu ordered three more offal items.

After quickly cleaning all the offal and putting it into the braising liquid, along with some firewood, the process was complete.

"Mission accomplished, we can go back now."

Lin Yu clapped his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Where did you put your things?

Feng Qi, who had been observing Lin Yu's every move, pointed to the cart and said.

Although the cart was small, it was simply impossible to push it back to the small village.

After all, walking on mountain roads is troublesome enough, let alone pushing a cart like this.

“I’ve already made arrangements with the carpenter to temporarily store my belongings there. My payment will be some braised pork offal.”

Lin Yu said with a smile, clearly having been prepared all along.

Pushing the cart, the two returned to the carpenter's shop. After pushing the cart inside, they set off for home.

On the way, thinking about tomorrow's business, Lin Yu's heart was filled with anticipation.

Life is about taking things one step at a time.

I gradually improved my life, living in a better house, eating better food, having a safer environment, and becoming stronger little by little.

'Yes, the future looks promising.'

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked at Feng Qi beside him.

It would be even better if a beautiful woman were to accompany you.

Seemingly noticing Lin Yu's gaze, Feng Qi turned her head, a hint of doubt in her cool eyes.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Nothing, I just think the moonlight is really beautiful tonight."

Feng Qi looked up at the sky, where snow was falling heavily and dark clouds covered the sky, with no sign of the moon.

'Ha, humans.'
