    Everyone was excited when they heard Su Binn’s words. Their heartbeats quickened as they thought about how much money they could earn. It was an excitement the family could not express with words.


    It felt like a dream, and everyone thought it was not real. The family dared not even think they would ever see more than a hundred silver taels in the past. To them, it was an unreachable figure.


    But they became excited and could ept it. The family was also calmer now, even though they were smiling excitedly. Although they had been busy the whole day, no one showed signs of fatigue.


    Su Binn looked at everyone and said, “You guys didn’t eat much in the afternoon and evening. You only had a few mouthfuls. Are you guys hungry? I can make somete-night snacks if you want.”


    Everyone had worked all day but did not have much to eat. They only ate a few mouthfuls of rice in the kitchen to fill their stomachs during work whenever they got hungry.


    Su Binn noticed it.


    Shen Qiuhua shook her head and said, “I’m not hungry. Besides, I’ve already eaten. A few mouthfuls of rice daily is already a good thing, considering how little we had in the past. Don’t spoil us, Binn.


    Su Wenzhe said, ‘Yinyin and I were only at the haggis soup shop during the day, so we had potato pancakes for lunch and dinner. You don’t have to worry about us.


    Su Wenwu added, “That’s right, Binn. I feel happy today and don’t even feel hungry or tired.”


    During work at the restaurant, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to get the ingredients for the guest. In the meantime, he filled a bowl with some rice and ate a few mouthfuls. So he did not feel hungry, even though he was busy all day.


    Su Fengmao smiled happily and said, “We’ve earned so much today, Binn. How can we go hungry when we’re in such a good mood? All we feel now is happiness.”


    Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Binn with heartache. She patted her daughter’s hand and said, “You were the hardworking one since you had to take care of everything today.


    “Also, Jin’an had been standing at the cashier all day collecting money and settling bills. He didn’t stop working and didnt eat much. Dont worry about us; just take care of yourself.”


    Su Binn looked at her husband and felt sorry for him. ‘He must be exhausted.’


    Luo Jin’an shook his head at his wife and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not tired since


    I had lunch and dinner. Still, you are the one who didn’t eat much.”


    Although he was busy manning the cashier, his attention was on his wite. Therefore, he saw how busy Su Binn was that she never took a break. She only had a few steamed buns for lunch and dinner.


    Even so, she served her husband food from the kitchen for lunch and dinner. She gave Luo Jin’an rice, meat, and vegetables, which made up a well-bnced meal.


    Su Binn looked at her husband’s severe expression and mumbled, “You were so busy, so how do you know whether or not I’ve eaten?”


    ‘I wasn’t always on the first floor either. Sometimes, I would be on the second floor. How would Jin’an know if I ate while I was there?’


    Luo Jin’an sighed and said, “I saw everything from the cashier.”


    Su Binn’s heart trembled when she heard her husband’s sigh.


    The Su family members looked at the couple, and their smiles became increasingly wider for some reason.


    “I can’t help but want tough.” Liu Yinyin covered her mouth andughed discreetly. ‘These two are so sweet.’


    Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai had already fallen asleep when the family returned. It was always easy for children to be sleepy at night.


    When school ended, Su Binn told Baili Jinghua to bring the three little ones to the hotpot restaurant. The trio yed there and got tired as soon as they returned home.


    Baili Jinghua brought her son home while Liu Yinyin tucked Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai in.


    After some thought, Su Binn said, “How about this? I’ll roast a few sweet potatoes, and we’ll eat them. I can put the sweet potatoes under the heated tform and take them out when ready.”


    Roasting sweet potatoes were convenient so the family could have them as midnight snacks. After eating, the family would not go to sleep hungry.


    Su Binn was genuinely worried that her family would wake up hungry in the middle of the night after falling asleep. Su Wenxiu sighed and said, ‘You’re too caring, Sister.”


    Su Wenwu said, “Let me help you, Binn.”


    Su Binn waved and said, “That’s enough. You guys sit on the tform. I’ll finish roasting the sweet potatoes in a while.”


    Luo Jin’an said nothing but got down from the heated tform. Su Binn noticed and said helplessly, “Didn’t I tell you to sit on the tform? I won’t exhaust myself just by roasting some potatoes. I’ll be done in a short while.” “I’ll help you.” Luo Jin’an was very insistent.


    Su Binn wanted to take out the sweet potatoes from her pocket dimension, but she had no choice but to go to the warehouse and get a few big sweet potatoes instead.


    Then she roasted them under the heated tform with charcoal. “Just roast them like this, and they will be ready in a while. Let’s get back on the tform.


    Su Binn still had something to say, so after getting on the tform, she continued, “We’ll be busier over the next three days, then things should get easier. It’s because most of our customers wille for the three-day discount.


    “Let’s also talk about what we observed today. For example, what do the customers think about eating hotpot?”


    After Su Binn mentioned this, everyone began to think carefully.


    After some thought, Su Wenwu said, “A lot of people came today because of the discount. They ordered a te of meat, vegetables, and tofu. However, they couldn’t help but order more as they ate. It seems they genuinely enjoy eating hotpot.


    Shen Qiuhua remembered that and said, “Yes, most of our customers did that. They only ordered more because they enjoyed it.”


    Su Fengmao also discovered something. He said, “There were some who liked the spicier food. I think they ordered more because they were eating what they enjoyed.”


    Su Wenxiu said, “I felt cold when I left Hundred Herb Hall, but when I arrived at the restaurant, I felt warm again. I saw a few peopleing in from the outside, which meant they went in to warm themselves up. After trying the hotpot, they said they felt warm and didn’t want to leave.”


    Shen Qiuhua sighed and said, “The weather will be even colder when winter arrives soon. Our restaurant uses charcoal, so it’ll feel warm inside. Oh, someone also asked about it.


    “The customer said charcoal is expensive, so it’s a waste to burn so much. I told them it was all right and that our charcoal wasn’t as expensive as others. The customer became interested in our charcoal when they heard about it.


    “They said they would love to buy some and didn’t care how much it cost. I gave them your Third Uncle Fengzhi’s house address because your uncle is preparing charcoal to sell.”


    Su Fengmao said, “That’s right. Binn will also earn a bit of money if the customers buy more charcoal.”


    Everyone in the family knew that Su Fengzhi insisted on giving 30% of his charcoal profits to Su Binn.


    As everyone spoke, Su Binn felt it was about time to check on the sweet potatoes. After checking on them, she found that they had indeed finished cooking.


    She put the roasted sweet potatoes on a te and ced them on the tform. She said, “The sweet potatoes are ready. Have some, everyone”


    Su Wenwu did not feel hungry at first, but after smelling the sweet potatoes, he felt like he was starving. He reached out to take the sweet potatoes, but he got scalded. He immediately retracted his hand.. “Ouch! It’s so hot!”
