All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Han Chunming hurriedly finished his meal and then went to stir the soup.

Everyone was busy working hard, and Taozi rarely had a smile on his face. Although he had made a bet with Han Chunming that whoever lost would have to work from dawn till dusk every day, he was willing to lose.

At that moment, he only had one thought on his mind: if only business could be this good every day!

Yes, if business could be this good every day, we'd be rich!

Selling 300 bowls in the morning and 300 bowls in the afternoon, that's 600 yuan a day. Half of that is profit, which is 300 yuan. You can become a 10,000-yuan household in a month. Just thinking about it is exciting.

Yes, back in 1982, the term "ten-thousand-yuan household" had just been coined and was a symbol of true wealth. If a store could earn ten thousand yuan a month, the owner could also receive 20%, earning two thousand yuan a month.

Two thousand yuan was something he never dared to dream of before.

Taozi was thinking about his bright future as he washed the dishes with incredible speed, feeling that all the fatigue of the day was no longer important!

Soon it was past two o'clock in the afternoon. Han Chunming wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Meng Xiaoxing to invite the customers into the shop, as the soup would be ready soon!

Some customers had been waiting since 1:30, and they were overjoyed when they heard that the nourishing soup was finally ready.

Today is Sunday, and most of the families came out together. Many were old customers bringing new customers. The topic of conversation among everyone was still the effects of this nourishing soup. The store was bustling with excitement.

Soon the store was full of customers again. Han Chunming felt exhausted. He hadn't slept for 36 hours and had been working at high intensity for the past two days. He was feeling really weak.

He held a soup bowl, drinking the nourishing soup he had prepared for himself, and stood at the door looking out.

He suddenly remembered that he had told Su Meng yesterday that when she delivered lunch to her father, she could stop by his shop and he would prepare a nourishing soup for her.

It's already 3:30, and Su Meng still hasn't arrived. Judging from the situation, she's not coming.

Han Chunming simply shook his head helplessly and didn't think about it any further.

Ultimately, his relationship with Su Meng was just that of neighbors.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and I am just an ordinary person.

Although I sometimes think, why don't I start a harem in this world?

If you could get your hands on Su Meng and Guan Xiaoguan, you could have a stable home life while having affairs on the side. How wonderful that would be!

But this is just wishful thinking. In modern society, no woman would willingly serve a man unless she is a tool for money and has no thoughts of her own.

Whether it's Su Meng or Guan Xiaoguan, they are both independent women with their own thoughts. She might believe a man's lies for a while, but she would never share a man with someone else.

While some women are indeed willing to share a man's wealth, they are even more willing to share that man's money.

The women mentioned here definitely do not include Su Meng and Guan Xiaoguan.

Besides, do you really think that a man will be happy just because a few beautiful women are with him?

Hehe, you'll see after you get married!

Unless you only want to sleep with them and never think about spending your life with them, the idea of ​​having two women on your left and right and sleeping together harmoniously only exists in fantasy novels.

In modern society, once ideas are liberated, it's wishful thinking to try to imprison women again, unless one goes back to ancient times.

There is another possibility: she truly, truly loves you, doesn't care about worldly gossip, doesn't care about the future, and doesn't care about tomorrow; she just wants to be with you!

Han Chunming hasn't met a woman that foolish yet, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't want her. She's too stupid and would affect the intelligence of his offspring!

After finishing the soup, Han Chunming felt a bit better, so he went back to the kitchen and started washing the dishes, taking over Taozi's work. Taozi had gone to deliver takeout orders; the customer had come to say hello at noon and left some money.

This takeout order requires me to come in person, which is really inconvenient. While washing the dishes, Han Chunming thought that once he made some money, he would have to install a phone, otherwise it would be inconvenient in the future!

Judging from the foot traffic outside the shops, Han Chunming estimated that he could get off work around five or six o'clock today. Business was sure to get better and better, but making soup was just too tiring.

It seems we still need to hire more people. Han Chunming is also thinking that he needs to improve his soup-making method. He was worried about business before, but now he is basically confident. If he's going to do it, he should do it big. Opening a soup shop can make him rich!

Han Chunming already had an idea in mind. He planned to rent a large warehouse nearby to build a central kitchen. The kitchen would hire people to cook soup, and once the soup was cooked, it would be bottled and transported directly to the shop by tricycle for reheating.

This will not only save Han Chunming time and reduce his workload, but most importantly, with a central kitchen as the supply chain, he can open more branches in Yanjing City in the future.

Of course, this is just a thought for now. We'll talk about it again once the store makes money. Doing it this way now, even though it's tough and tiring, is a life experience, which is pretty good.

While she was busy working, Meng Xiaoxing rushed into the kitchen and shouted loudly.

"Brother Wu, come out quickly, we have guests!"

Han Chunming was bewildered and scolded him.

"Just greet the guests, what are you yelling about!"

Meng Xiaoxing quickly shook her head and continued.

"Brother Wu, this customer wants to order our most expensive nourishing soup!"

The bowl in Han Chunming's hand fell into the bucket with a thud. He stood up with some confusion. The most expensive nourishing soup in his shop cost eighty-eight yuan.

The soup was so expensive, it was just a gimmick, and he never thought anyone would buy it. But to his surprise, customers came in on the very first day of opening, which made him take it seriously.

He followed Meng Xiaoxing into the store. Looking inside, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the door, carrying a briefcase. A black car was parked outside. Goodness, a big customer had arrived.

Han Chunming quickly walked towards the middle-aged man with a big smile on his face.

When the middle-aged man saw Han Chunming arrive, he nodded slightly, but there was no smile on his face. He reached out and shook hands with Han Chunming.

The man was broad and round, but he stood ramrod straight. Han Chunming could tell at a glance that he was from a military background. But who cared? As long as he was willing to pay, even the King of Heaven would be a guest!

Han Chunming quickly asked with a smile.

"Sir, would you like to order our most expensive nourishing soup?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said.

"I've heard that your nourishing soup is very effective, so I came here specifically because of it. My father has always been in poor health, and now he has a very poor appetite. I'm sure your most expensive nourishing soup would be even more effective. Could you please make me a pot?"

Han Chunming smiled and nodded, then checked the time and said...

"It's for an elderly person, right? I understand. Well, this soup needs to be made fresh. It's 3:30 now, and it won't be ready until 5:00 at the earliest. Would you like to wait here, or come back to pick it up later?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Then I'll come at five o'clock, boss. You really need to put some effort into this soup. Since you've quoted this price, it has to be worth it. Don't try to fob me off with some watery soup later!"

Han Chunming seemed oblivious to the middle-aged man's subtle threat, and nodded with a smile, indicating that he would definitely do his best.

The two agreed on the terms, and Han Chunming collected the full amount of 88 yuan from the other party as per the rules. He then issued a receipt to the other party, who took the receipt, drove away, and left.

Han Chunming smiled, turned around, and tossed the money to Meng Xiaoxing, telling her to put it in the account and drawer. Then he turned and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

Meng Xiaoxing stared blankly at the eighty-eight yuan in her hand. Was that all?

Eighty-eight yuan! That's more than I can earn in two months, and this person is only willing to buy a can of soup?

Meng Xiaoxing, a country girl, was shocked by the rich people in the city for the first time. She thought that a bowl of nourishing soup costing one yuan was already outrageous enough, but she didn't expect that there was something even more outrageous. Sure enough, city people know how to have fun!

Han Chunming didn't think that much about it. He figured that after a while, Xiao Xing, this country girl, would become completely numb.

No matter the era, the world of the wealthy is always simple and unpretentious; if they have something expensive, they will never drink something cheap.

Han Chunming returned to the kitchen, took out a small soup pot, and started to get busy. He never expected that someone would actually spend money to buy a pot of soup that cost 88 yuan.

Now that someone has bought it, I definitely have to put my heart into it.

In fact, the other party's eighty-eight yuan was well spent and they definitely did not lose out. The ingredients Han Chunming prepared for this soup were absolutely unique recipes that could not be bought on the market.

Twenty years from now, you won't be able to buy the ingredients just from this, no matter how much money you have. You won't even be able to taste the flavor without spending hundreds of thousands!

Han Chunming focused intently on getting things done. This was his first time doing such a big business deal, and he certainly couldn't ruin his reputation, could he?

We must provide customers with the best possible experience. Once we establish a reputation in the Yanjing city circle, customers will line up to come.

Throughout history, wherever there is power, money has always been present; they are inseparable twins!

Han Chunming looked at the white bubbles in the soup pot, stirred it with a spoon for a while, and nodded in satisfaction as he smelled the special medicinal aroma.

When Taozi returned from delivering food, he was also incredulous to hear that he had just received a large order worth 88 yuan.

He felt as if happiness had come too suddenly. Watching Han Chunming intently simmering the soup, a strange emotion welled up in his heart. He had to hold onto Han Chunming's coattails!

He really should cling to Han Chunming's coattails; today's business deal was a resounding success.

Just after 5 p.m., the soup in the three earthenware pots sold out again, and by 5:30 p.m., they were already preparing to close up shop.

Han Chunming turned off the fire and put the soup pot into a small wooden box. This was a specially made small wooden box, crafted by a carpenter, and it even had a lid on it. It was similar to the food boxes in period dramas and was just the right size to hold a small soup pot.

A soup that costs 88 yuan should at least come with high-end packaging, right?

Including the soup pot and wooden box, the cost is three yuan and sixty cents. Adding the ingredients for making the soup, the cost is about ten yuan. Selling it for eighty-eight yuan is not unreasonable!

It's a unique business, so it's normal to make more money. Han Chunming hummed a little tune as he placed the wooden box on the table in the shop, when he saw the black car had already arrived outside.

The middle-aged man hurriedly got off the car, as if in a rush. He walked into the store and saw that Han Chunming had already prepared high-end packaging. He nodded in satisfaction, said something, took the wooden box, and walked out.

Watching the other car drive away, Han Chunming felt a sense of accomplishment well up inside him. This kind of money was earned honestly and openly, unlike Xiao Heiwan, who knowingly sold products with defects to foreigners to make quick money.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Simon hasn't contacted me for almost a month. I wonder how their research on those hundred little black pills is going!

Oh well, never mind him, let's call it a day!

Han Chunming turned around and shouted to the people who were cleaning inside the store.

"Let's go out to eat tonight, it's on me, to celebrate our grand opening!"

Meng Xiaoxing stopped wiping the table, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and called out to Han Chunming in a flattering tone.

"Brother Wu, will business be this good tomorrow?"

Han Chunming laughed heartily, then spoke with boundless pride.

"Business will only get better and better in the future. You sisters, work hard, and if you do well, you'll get a bonus!"

Upon hearing about the bonus, Meng Xiaoxing and Meng Xiaozao beamed with joy, their faces flushed with sweat and redness!

After the others cleaned up, Han Chunming prepared the pig feed. Once everyone had taken care of things in the shop, Han Chunming sat down at the counter and started counting money.

Pulling open the drawer, several thick stacks of banknotes were so enviable that they made one's eyes water. Taozi wiped his hands and watched Han Chunming count the banknotes, his eyes filled with undisguised longing!

Han Chunming smiled and began counting the bills one by one. Most of them were small bills of five mao or one yuan, but there were also more than one hundred yuan bills of ten yuan. In no time, Han Chunming finished counting and found that there were six hundred and sixty-four yuan.

Upon hearing the number, everyone was overjoyed, especially Taozi, whose face flushed slightly. Although he had already calculated it silently in his mind, he was still pleasantly surprised when the number was placed in front of him.

According to what Han Chunming revealed to him, the soup has at least a 50% profit margin, which means there is at least 330 yuan in profit today. He gets 20%, so he can get more than 60 yuan.

He only earns a little over forty yuan a month at his company this year. The profit he made in one day is equivalent to his usual monthly and a half salary. Anyone would be excited!

Han Chunming told him that there would be a dividend distribution at the end of each month. Although it was only the first day, Taozi was already excited. Most of the depression in his heart had dissipated at this moment. Sure enough, money gives men courage. With money, men can be bold.

As for Meng Xiaoxing and Meng Xiaozao, both of them were on fixed salaries, and it was impossible for them not to feel envious when they saw those thick stacks of money.
