Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 237 - 236: Cousin’s Wife (2 more)

Every night before going to sleep, Jin Yu would think of Xu Niannian.

However, Xu Niannian was so busy all day she barely had time to think about him and almost forgot about her boyfriend entirely. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Not only did she have to simmer butter sauce, she also had to prepare her secret broth, resulting in her restaurant transforming into the Butter Noodle House.

Basically, she wasn’t selling stir-fried dishes anymore.

But the business was still booming.

So Xu Niannian temporarily stopped worrying about the shop. It seemed to operate normally whether she was there or not, her presence didn’t appear to make much of a difference.

Of course, there were still many customers who expressed dissatisfaction.

What were they dissatisfied with? The reason was simple: some people wanted to eat the stir-fried dishes made by Xu Niannian, but she was hardly ever in the shop.

However, in reality, the number of people coming in for the butter noodles far exceeded those who came for stir-fries.

After all, the butter sauce was a product of a space recipe; it wasn’t strange to Xu Niannian that it would draw more people than stir-fries.

But this couldn’t continue indefinitely. Xu Niannian thought long and hard and finally came up with a solution.

Only she was still hesitant about whether to implement this solution.

In just one week, combined with the earnings from Liuyue Su and green bean cakes, Xu Niannian once again had a firm grip on three thousand yuan.

With money in hand, Xu Niannian felt a little more confident.

Yet it wasn’t enough. She wanted to expand the business, and two machines would hardly suffice then.

But all that would have to wait for news from Li Qingshui.

The feedback on the green bean cakes was excellent, whether it was in Li Qingshui’s shop or the three stores in the suburbs, they all sold exceptionally fast, even faster than Liuyue Su.

The green bean cakes sold out on the very first day they were available.

The reason was the same as always: green bean cakes were cooling for the summer.

Both Liuyue Su and green bean cakes were high-end products with high prices, but the high price was only reflected per item.

Forty cents for a Liuyue Su was indeed expensive in the 1980s, but forty cents was something every household could afford.

Children from well-off families could buy it with their pocket money, so as long as the product was tasty, selling it was not a problem at all.

Moreover, the taste of Liuyue Su and green bean cakes wasn’t just ordinarily delicious, they were, without exaggeration, delicacies.

Xu Niannian specifically went to register a company.

Next, she needed to visit a food processing plant to deal with packaging issues.

After sorting out these things, Xu Niannian finally remembered the Liuyue Su that had been sitting for four days and hurried back home to check on it.

The moment she opened the box, Xu Niannian prayed, hoping it hadn’t gone bad.

As the box opened, the unique fragrance of Liuyue Su wafted out.

Xu Niannian covered her mouth in surprise, they hadn’t gone bad!

Not only had they not gone bad, but even after four days, they still retained the aroma of Liuyue Su.

Usually, her Liuyue Su could last three to four days at room temperature.

But typically, by the third or fourth day, you could no longer smell their fragrant aroma unless you tasted them.

Even then, the flavor wasn’t as good as when they were freshly made, and the texture would be a tad different.

Xu Niannian couldn’t wait to pinch off a piece and taste it.

Upon taking a bite, the familiar fragrance instantly filled her mouth, and Xu Niannian’s eyes widened with delight.

My goodness, it hadn’t gone bad, and not only that, the flavor was just like when they first came out of the oven.

Xu Niannian was both shocked and elated. To conduct an experiment, she left the box of Liuyue Su in the kitchen, where a coal-burning stove had been set to maintain high temperatures without pause.

The temperature inside was so high that spending just three minutes inside would definitely leave you drenched in sweat.

To determine the shelf life of Liuyue Su, Xu Niannian didn’t immediately take them out but covered the box again and continued to let it sit.

However, this time she didn’t keep the stove burning non-stop.

After the experiment was a success, Xu Niannian spun around happily on the spot.

In her excitement, Xu Niannian accidentally stepped on a bowl she had carelessly left on the floor.

With an "Ah" cry, Xu Niannian met with misfortune and fell to the ground, twisting her ankle.

The piercing pain instantly whitened her face.

The so-called joy brings grief; it seems that was precisely what happened here.

Xu Dawei was outside playing with the dog. Hearing Xu Niannian’s shout, he threw the leash in fright and hurriedly dashed into the kitchen.

Xiaohei, the little black dog, thought Xu Dawei was playing a game of chase with it, and with paws outstretched, it gleefully followed behind, joyfully barking all the while.

Xu Dawei rushed into the kitchen and saw Xu Niannian sitting on the ground, his dark face filled with anxiety. He hobbled over and helped Xu Niannian to her feet, "Darling, get up quickly."

Xu Niannian’s face was pale. She stood up with Xu Dawei’s support, but as soon as she did, another piercing pain shot through her ankle.

Seeing Xu Dawei’s concern, she quickly reassured him, "Dad, I’m fine."

"How can you be fine? Look how pale you’ve become from the pain. Let’s go, Dad will take you to the hospital,"

Xu Niannian responded, knowing she indeed needed to go to the hospital.

Once they arrived, Xu Dawei called for a doctor with utter cluelessness, having never set foot in such a big hospital before, he was as ignorant as a child.

And he was also limping.

Xu Niannian hurried to calm him, "Dad, don’t worry, I’m fine."

Xu Dawei saw that her complexion had slightly improved, and only then did he ease up a bit.

"It’s nothing serious, just a sprain. Apply some safflower oil and rest for two or three days, and you’ll be fine,"

the doctor, a kind middle-aged male, reassured Xu Dawei, and he seemed easy to talk to.

Only then did Xu Dawei relax.

Xu Niannian said to Xu Dawei with a smile, "See, Dad? I told you I’m fine."

"You’re so pale from the pain, yet you say you’re fine?"

Xu Dawei uncharacteristically scolded Xu Niannian, "You should be more careful. If something happened to you, do you want to drive your mom and me to tears?"

Xu Niannian stuck out her tongue playfully, "But I am fine, aren’t I?"

As his daughter was both well-behaved and adorable, Xu Dawei didn’t have the heart to blame her and helplessly said, "You stay in the hospital first. I’ll go to the shop and call your brother to carry you back."

"Eh, Dad, I can walk back by myself, just help me," Xu Niannian quickly called out to Xu Dawei.

Unfortunately, Xu Dawei didn’t listen to her at all and left without another word.

It left Xu Niannian both crying and laughing.

Xu Dawei’s limp was slow, and Xu Niannian actually felt distress as he slowly dragged himself such a long distance.

If he ran to the shop, he would surely have to come back to the hospital again.

The ward was for multiple patients with a total of six beds, yet there were only three patients, including her.

The other two were a middle-aged woman and an elderly lady.

Both were sleeping.

Laying in her bed with nothing to do, Xu Niannian felt tormented in this era without mobile phones, where lying awake in bed was truly a form of suffering.

Moreover, no one was around to talk to her.

After waiting a little while, Xu Niannian suddenly needed to use the restroom.

Jin Ruiyang was equally bored in his own ward, feeling like he was on the verge of exploding with monotony.

Because of his excessively handsome appearance, the female nurses at the hospital made frequent visits to his room.

Charismatic, handsome, and cultured, the fact that he was staying in a private ward signified that he was either wealthy or powerful.

Moreover, Jin Ruiyang was exceptionally courteous to outsiders, especially women, which is why nurses were always eager to "check on" his room.

Jin Ruiyang had grown accustomed to this.

Utterly bored, Jin Ruiyang stepped out of his room, intending to take a walk.

On the other side of the corridor, several female nurses were whispering to each other.

Jin Ruiyang caught a key phrase.

"An exceptionally beautiful young lady."

Pausing for a moment, Jin Ruiyang approached the nurses without making a sound.

"Hey, I’m telling you, don’t doubt me. When I was doing rounds on the first floor just now, I really saw an especially beautiful girl,"

another somewhat attractive nurse replied with disdain, "Is she that beautiful? You’re exaggerating too much."

"Believe me or not, she really is exceptionally beautiful. I’ve never seen a girl that beautiful, even prettier than the big movie stars. If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself. She’s in room 11 on the first floor. Take a look, her skin is as smooth as a peeled egg. I’m so envious,"

"Yeah right, I’ll see about that... I don’t believe it," the pretty nurse was saying when she looked up and saw Jin Ruiyang’s refined and handsome face, instantly freezing mid-sentence.

Her heart racing, she managed to say, "Mr. Jin, why are you out here?"

With the corner of his lips subtly curved into a gentle smile, Jin Ruiyang’s voice floated to the nurses’ ears as warmly as a spring breeze.

"I was uncomfortable staying in there, so I decided to take a walk," he said politely and gentlemanly.

The nurses were instantly lost in the warmth of his smile, and even in his empty hospital gown, he was still dazzling.

After exchanging words with the nurses, Jin Ruiyang returned to his room, donned his professional weapon... his gold-rimmed glasses, changed back into the clothes he had worn on arrival, left his room, went downstairs, and headed straight for room 11 on the first floor.
