She successfully made Liu Shi laugh.

“Also, tell Aunt Jiang not to worry. After the cold cakes are done, we will sell spicy skewers. Well need manpower to handle the ingredients and skewers.”

There were five people in total, including Aunt Jiang, her daughters and Wang Erya.

She might not even have enough manpower.

That was because…there was news from the dock that some shops would be available soon.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Shi.

“Oh right, how much money do you have now?” She asked Liu Shi.

Li Xiao gave her close to 100 taels of silver during this period of time. Adding on the money she had saved up from selling cold cakes, she now had close to 300 taels of silver in her hands.

On her mother1 s side, the money from selling cold cakes at home and the money from Wang Shuanzi’s daily payment were ail collected by her mother. It was probably a lot.

“Why?” Liu Shi looked at her daughter warily.

Her daughter would ask for a lot of money every time she asked that question.

She didn’t want to use the money, she just wanted to save it…the more the better.

Lin Xiaoyue was amused by her mother’s expression.

“Li Xiao told me that the shops at the dock have been built. I reckon that they will be up for sale in a few days.”

“We want to take this opportunity to buy one. Then, well open another branch of the Liu Shi’s Eatery.”

There was a lot of traffic at the dock. Li Xiao and Hei Gang spent most of their time there. Opening an eatery at the dock would definitely make a profit.

Liu Shi was surprised.

They just built a house not long ago, and she wanted to buy a shop again?

In their village, it seemed that only the village chief’s family had a shop in town. They could collect a lot of rent every month.

The Li family’s child was able to study in Qingyun Academy in peace because of the shop’

Thinking of this, Liu Shi became even more excited.

With a shop, his daughter wouldn’t need to rent, She could save a lot of money every month.

Also, even if she stopped doing business in the future, she could rent it out!

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.

“There’s a lot of traffic at the pier. The price of the shop is cheaper than the market price. Li Xiao said that there are many people eyeing it now. However, he is close to Hei Gang. As long as we have enough money, it won’t be a problem to buy one.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Shi and whispered, “Hei Gang has planned to buy five.”

Liu Shi’s eyes widened.

“What?” She swallowed and almost choked.

Lin Xiaoyue quickly stroked Liu Shi’s back to help her relax.

“It’s true. Li Xiao said that Hei Gang had been borrowing money from his relatives and friends these past few days. When the shops are out, he’ll make a move.”

“Hei Gang said he has an acquaintance. The government office will release the shops for sale. As long as they have the money, they can guarantee that they can buy it.”

“After that, we’ll wait for the government office to release all the shops. In less than a month, the shop’s price would rise. If we don’t lack money, we can wait for another month.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Shi.

She lowered her voice, “then, I’ll sell the shop. In just two months, I estimate that I can earn at least 20% to 30%.”

Liu Shi’s expression changed.

“Hei Gang…”

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Yes, he is planning to earn the price difference.’1

What a good business opportunity, earning 20% to 30% in two months.

Before the apocalypse of the 21st century, making money with property speculation was not so easy

Liu Shi was silent, and then a light flashed in her eyes.

“How much is the shop?” She asked Lin Xiaoyue.

Knowing that her mother had agreed, a smile appeared on Lin Xiaoyue’s face.

“He told me to prepare 500 taels. He said that the price would not exceed this amount.”

Seeing Liu Shi’s surprised expression, Lin Xiaoyue continued, “I have about 300 taels of silver, including what Li Xiao gave me.”

“If you can, help us gather 200 taels. I’ll return the money to you immediately!”

Liu Shi’s expression changed.

“What are you talking about? My money is earned by you! It’s not like you’re spending it recklessly. 1 have no reason not to give it to you!”

Liu Shi said as she stood up from the bench.

“Follow me, let’s talk inside.” As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up and she quickly followed Liu Shi.

When they reached the backyard, Liu Shi pulled Lin Xiaoyue into the room.
