Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you two standing up for us, who knows what kind of mess it would have gotten into!"

Seeing the middle-aged woman's fear of the two hunters, Ye Chen immediately stepped forward to thank her.

Uncle Wang and Uncle Li waved their hands and praised Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, don't be so stubborn! I heard you're planning to lead us all to make money!"

"We hunters aren't particularly skilled, and while we can't speak for ourselves in other areas, we're known for our loyalty and integrity. Since you've taken care of our worries, we'll naturally do our part in your rescue!"

"Ye Chen, don't worry. Whether this succeeds or not, if anyone offends you in the future, we hunters will be the first to get revenge!"

Uncle Li patted his chest and said, while Uncle Wang next to him nodded repeatedly.

Ever since Ye Chen announced his intention to establish the Hunter Association that night, his reputation among a group of veteran hunters has soared.

Hunters care most about their offspring; it is because of their deep sense of loyalty and righteousness that they dare to face death.

This group of people is the bravest, but they are also the most afraid of getting into trouble and having no one to care for them at home.

Ye Chen solved the hunters' biggest problem, and given their loyalty, they certainly wouldn't let Ye Chen down!

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, you're too kind. Don't worry, after the New Year, I will definitely find a way to expedite this matter!"

Ye Chen made his promise and then saw the two off.

Then he turned back to Tian Xiaohui with a concerned look: "If anyone dares to insult you again, I'll slap them across the face, just like I did before!"

"Okay!" Tian Xiaohui's lips curled up into a crescent shape as she nodded firmly, feeling as if honey was welling up inside her.

……

county seat.

After meeting with Ye Chen, Zhang Shaoyang returned to the city and immediately went to find his relatives.

Factory Street, office building.

Zhang Shaoyang went to the office and, facing his third uncle, began to complain, embellishing the story.

"Third Uncle, I heard that all the shops on your factory street have been rented to a guy named Ye Chen?"

"That guy is vicious. He swindled a lot of money from our family before. I've suffered a lot because of him."

"This kid has his eye on me and my dad again. He's even made some threats, saying he'll stand up for the Luo family and that he'll never let the Zhang family get away with this."

"Third Uncle, you absolutely can't spoil a guy like that. If you ask me, cancel the contract next year and rent these shops to someone else. In short, we can't let this kid get away with this!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man sitting behind his desk frowned slightly. As the third son of the Zhang family, he was able to become the deputy factory director thanks in no small part to the efforts of Zhang Shaoyang's father.

Faced with his nephew Zhang Shaoyang, the middle-aged man naturally obeyed him in every way. However, the shops that the factory had taken over were very complicated, and even he could not make the decision on his own. He could only speak tactfully.

"This is a difficult matter to handle. Even I don't have the authority to decide the ownership of those shops."

"These shops on Factory Street were all personally managed by the factory manager. You know the factory isn't doing well these days; we're living off the rent!"

"Third Uncle, what do you think of this? After the New Year, you negotiate with Ye Chen and raise the rent by 30%. If that kid doesn't pay, you can use that as grounds to sue the factory manager!"

"By doing this, you're doing the factory a favor, and the factory manager definitely won't say anything bad about it."

Upon hearing this, Uncle San frowned slightly, but in the end he could only wave his hand in agreement.

"Alright, I'll discuss it with the factory manager first. If he agrees, this will be easy to handle!"

Seeing that his third uncle had given in, Zhang Shaoyang finally showed a smug look on his face, clenched his fist tightly, and couldn't help but curse.

"Ye Chen, you want to play with me? Then I'll play along. With the connections of my Zhang family, let's see what you have to offer me!"

……

The next few days were blessed with favorable weather.

With the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month fast approaching, Ye Chen's family gathered together to prepare for the New Year's feast.

"Watch closely, I'll only teach you this once. This thing is called a 'covered bowl,' and there are many variations!"

"They have braised pork belly, spare ribs, crispy fried pork, and even chicken and fish. If you can make this well, it could be a signature dish at your restaurant!"

Ye Chen deep-fried all the ingredients, then placed them in a steaming bowl, added the seasoning liquid, and put it in a steamer.

Throughout the process, Luo Ling assisted constantly from the side, asking questions from time to time, appearing very serious.

Since learning of the Luo family's decline and even her father's imprisonment, Luo Ling has become much more energetic.

They are exceptionally proactive in everything they do, especially matters related to the hotel; whenever it's mentioned, they are always at the forefront.

Ye Chen naturally understood that Luo Ling was holding back her anger and determined to make the restaurant business a success!

In order to help Luo Ling, Ye Chen taught her everything he knew.

Soon, Luo Ling mastered the technique and made steamed bowls that looked quite professional!

"Try it, how is mine? How much worse is it than Ye Chen's?"

At the dinner table, Luo Ling brought out her masterpiece, and the group of people, who had been waiting impatiently, hurriedly scrambled to grab it.

Luo Ling was clever and quick-witted from a young age. Once she made up her mind to endure hardship, she learned everything very quickly.

After everyone tasted it, they all nodded in praise, and Ye Chen couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.

"Not bad, not bad, you've really mastered my skills. Tonight I'll teach you a few more of my signature dishes, so we can eat and drink well during the New Year holiday, and I'll pass on all my culinary skills to you!"

At the end, Ye Chen even took out a notebook with many folk remedies written on it.

"This is something I compiled over the past two days. It contains many recipes and the proportions of various seasonings, all clearly marked on it."

"Just follow these notes from now on. As long as you control the heat well, I guarantee the taste won't be too bad!"

In order to help Luo Ling, Ye Chen stayed up for several nights in a row to finally put together this notebook.

Luo Ling naturally understood Ye Chen's good intentions. After taking the notebook, she nodded firmly.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get this done. By the way, I've already thought of a name for the restaurant: Luo Family Restaurant!"

Luo Ling spoke up, saying that the Luo family used to be very wealthy and powerful, but now it has completely declined, and Luo Ling is now the only remaining member of the Luo family.

She was determined to devote all her energy to the Luo Family Restaurant.

We must seize this opportunity to rise again and restore the glory of the Luo family!

"Okay, Ling, keep up the good work, we all support you!"

"That's right, we'll help you out when we're free, and we'll work together!"

Upon seeing this, Tian Xiaohui and Qian Jiali immediately stepped forward and encouraged Luo Ling.

The three sisters exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

Who says women are inferior to men? Women hold up half the sky too!
