81: Chapter 81: Explosive Fire (2)_1 81: Chapter 81: Explosive Fire (2)_1 After saying goodbye to Xie Zhongren, Cai Wei went straight to Li’s Record and Cloth Store. As she approached the shop, she took out some pre-prepared vegetables and two carps from her basket, which she had prepared in advance. Nowadays, the white tiger is well-fed and no longer goes fishing in the creek. In just a few days, the tiny catfish that used to be the length of a finger have grown to the length of a chopstick. They are now merrily swimming in the creek in droves, living happily and freely... The shopkeeper, Manager Li, was already happy to see Cai Wei. Seeing the pig trotters, wine, fresh fish and vegetables she brought, his smile grew brighter. He started eating the pig trotters without chatting with her and instructed his assistant to close the store and stew the fish in the kitchen for him... Cai Wei sat for a while, watching Manager Li happily eating his pig trotters and drinking his wine. Considering she also needed to attend to the affairs at the restaurant and anticipating that Xie Zhongren would bring someone over later, she got up and said her goodbyes. Manager Li didn’t insist on her staying. Waving his greasy hand and speaking unclearly, he said, “Go ahead, we will have plenty of chances to see each other in the future...” When she left Li’s Record and Cloth Store, the sun was already high up in the sky. All the shops on both sides of the street had opened and the number of pedestrians had increased. She stopped by a ready-made clothing store on her way. Life was getting better day by day and it was time for her family to get some new, fashionable clothes. The worn-out, patched, coarse cloth clothes they used to wear were no longer suitable. She had left these clothes at their old house in Mu Family Village when they moved to the town. Although her mother and Fei’er made everyone new clothes, how could one outfit be enough? They needed more! The clerk of the clothing store, seeing customers coming in early in the morning, greeted her enthusiastically. Cai Wei picked out one silk outfit for each family member, paid with silver, and then hurried back home. She spent over an hour on her trip and feared the restaurant might already be open. She wondered whether the skewers ordered last night at the blacksmith’s shop had been delivered, and if Aunt Zhou and her helpers had prepared the meat skewers... She could not have imagined the scene at the restaurant at that moment. “Waiter, bring another hundred skewers, damn, they’re so delicious...” “Shopkeeper, we made a reservation yesterday. Ensure our skewers are served first when they’re ready...” “Waiter, all the seats are occupied. Are there any free tables left...” Old Haizi, who is in charge of odd jobs, was busy collecting used skewers from customers and taking them to the back kitchen immediately. In the back kitchen, Aunt Zhou was full of energy. She led four maids in preparing skewers. Their responsibilities were clear: washing skewers, cutting meat, skewering. Despite the fact that Aunt Zhou had spent most of last night preparing meat skewers, she didn’t feel tired at all. Considering that they could earn more than two taels of silver in just a day, she only wished she had more hands! Jiujin and Zhou Laowu felt the same. Despite working outdoors in the harsh cold all day, their lives were much better now compared to before. They were making a fortune daily and had something to look forward to! Especially Jiujin, his satisfaction with this life had reached an unprecedented level. Not only could he see his sweetheart, Wei’er, every day but also earn money with her. Given their current earnings, when he married Wei’er, he would definitely be able to give her a decent wedding!
