    Lin Xiaoyueughed at Aunt Wang’s words.


    “Alright, then. I’ll pay her 100 wen a day.”


    If Erya coulde and help, her mother would be able to rx.


    It was better to let her mother sell cold cakes with the children. Her mother was really not good at hardbor.


    In the future, she would ask Erya and Aunt Wang to help make the cold cakes. That’s more efficient.


    “She didn’t even help at the stall, why pay her? Pay her when she helps out at the stall!” Aunt Wang said with a smile.


    After joining them for a meal so often, it was only right for her to help.


    “That won’t do, that’s a separate matter. If you don’t want me to pay, then don’t ask her toe.” Lin Xiaoyue made a long face on purpose.


    Aunt Wang’s face was full of smiles.


    “Fine! I can’t win against you, so 1’11 do as you say!”


    Lin Xiaoyue and Liu Shi said a few more words to Aunt Wang before going to the kitchen to cook.


    After the meal, the family was busy making cold cakes.


    By the time Lin Xiaoyue washed up and went to bed, it was already 9 o’clock.


    Lin Xiaoyue didn’t go to sleep after returning to her room. Instead, she took out her notebook and drew the design of the eatery.


    It was just the design of the counter and the kitchenware.


    Although the eatery only sold cold cakes at the moment,ter on, when she had chilis, she had to sell some hot food.


    There was no natural gas in this era, and it was not easy to build a kitchen there. She had to go to the cksmith to order some kitchenware and use charcoal to keep the spicy skewers warm.


    She only did a sketch. The specific size and design had to be measured on the spot.


    There were also tables and chairs. Her shop was too small, and it would be a waste of space to use the square tables and chairs from Mr. Qin’s restaurant.


    She nned to make three rows of long tables with matching long benches on both sides, which could seat more people, like the tables and chairs in school canteens in the 21st century.


    Lin Xiaoyue drew on the paper, modifying and redrawing from time to time.


    She was only satisfied after an hour.


    Then, she put away the manuscript and went to bed.


    The next day.


    Aunt Wang and Wang Shuanzhi came early again.


    After breakfast, Li Xiao rode the ox-cart, carrying Lin Xiaoyue and Aunt Wang with 30 buckets of cold cakes, to town.


    After selling all 20 buckets of cold cakes in the market and buying some vegetables, Lin Xiaoyue rode it to Mr. Qin’s restaurant.


    Li Xiao arrived earlier than them and was already waiting at the entrance of the restaurant.


    Lin Xiaoyue asked Aunt Wang to wait outside and followed Mr. Qin and Li Xiao into the restaurant.


    Thendlord had agreed. There was no change in the rent, so she felt more at ease.


    Not long after, thendlord came.


    Mr. Qin introduced thendlord to Lin Xiaoyue, and after exining the situation, the three of them signed the contract.


    “Pay next year’s rent before the new year. 1’11e and collect it then.” Thendlord said to them.


    He didn’t care about the subletting. As long as he could get the rent, he would try his best to satisfy the tenants’ requests.


    After all, his shop was not as easy to rent out as the other shops nearby.


    “Thank you Master Zhao. Please stay for dinner!” Mr. Qin said eagerly.


    Thendlord nced at Mr. Qin. “No, 1 still have something to do at home. I’ll take my leave first.”


    “Sure, we’ll send you off!” Mr. Qin said quickly.


    “It’s okay, please stay.” Thendlord left after saying that.


    Mr. Qin only turned around after thendlord had gone far away.


    Then, Lin Xiaoyue discussed the next arrangement with Mr. Qin.


    She paid Mr. Qin another 12 taels of silver for the rent before leaving..
