Almost everyone who went to the restaurant could more or less win a lucky draw prize. Su Binglan spun the wheel to let everyone see it and participate. Some might even suspect her of cheating if she drew numbers from a box instead.

Of course, no one knew that Su Binglan had Soul Powers and could control the wheel. Therefore, she knew which table would win a prize whenever she spun it to ensure everyone got something.

Since that was the case, everyone who went to the hotpot restaurant would happily leave because they won a prize. Since the hotpot also tasted good, the customers would return next time.

Indeed, the hotpot restaurant was booming. Moreover, the customers would go around telling others about how good their experience at the restaurant was after eating there in the morning.

Many more people went there during the afternoon because of the restaurant’s reputation. Many others also went to see what it was like at the hotpot restaurant when they finished their work in the evening.

Everyone said the food was delicious. Since there was a lucky draw at the restaurant, the atmosphere was upbeat and festive. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much.

Word of mouth traveled fast. In addition, the early advertising was a good idea, and the Su family’s name was on the signboard, so many went to the grand opening.

Fortunately, there were two floors to the restaurant. Although most people from the Su family’s house had gone to help, they still felt swamped.

There were not enough seats at night, and many had to wait outside with numbers. Business was so good that everyone working at the restaurant was happy to be busy. Everyone had smiles on their faces.

Shen Qiuhua’s footsteps were light when she went up and down the stairs. She felt her body was improving and did not feel tired from all the work. She also noticed fewer white hairs on her head and felt puzzled.

She thought perhaps she looked much younger and was in a good mood because she ate well and had good nutrition.

Shen Qiuhua was delighted to see everyone enthusiastically enjoying their restaurant experience. After all, the family would earn money from this, and she wondered how much the family could earn that day.

Anticipation filled Shen Qiuhua’s heart, but she was not the only one who was

energetic. Su Fengmao and Su Wenwu also telt they had endless energy, especially when the customers paid the bill.

Many customers had eaten a lot that day, and some even spent hundreds of copper coins. It was much more profitable than running a small business.

The business was booming, and it was beyond Su Binglan’s imagination. She could not even help Luo Jin’an at the cash register. Still, Luo Jin’an kept records of every bill himself.

Su Wenxiu, Su Wenzhe, and Liu Yinyin went to the hotpot restaurant in the evening to help. The restaurant was most crowded at night. It was not until late at night, and all the shops in town had closed, that the family sent off the last table of customers and closed the restaurant.

The family was not in a hurry to count their earnings—instead, they brought home the money bags and bills that Luo Jin’an had kept. They would count their earnings together later that night.

Although Luo Jin’an remembered every bill they had, the family had grown accustomed to sitting around the heated platform at home to count their earnings as they enjoyed how it made them feel.

The sky was dark when they went home on the oxcart. The village was quiet as every family had already gone to bed with their lamps turned off. After all, it was very late at night when the family entered the village.

Only the sounds of dogs barking sounded throughout the village as the family quietly returned home. After closing the gate, the family entered the main hall.

Su Fengmao hurriedly took firewood and heated the platform. He lit the firewood and placed a few more pieces of wood into the furnace.

“I’ve lit the fire, so the platform should warm up soon.” He got onto the platform as he spoke.

The family sat together and poured out copper coins from the big money bag.

Then they started to count the money together.

“One, two, three, four…”

“Dad, you don’t have to count out loud. You’re confusing me!” Su Wenwu had counted up to a certain point, but he lost track when he heard his father’s loud voice.

Su Fengmao was good-tempered. He said, “Okay, I’ll keep it down.”

Then the family started counting in low voices. Su Binglan looked at how everyone counted the money and felt quite happy because she could sense how excited everyone was.

She did not think the hotpot restaurant belonged to herself and shared the earnings with her family. To her, an idea was just a way to make a living when put in motion.

There were many ways to earn money, but this kind of happiness was precious. Everyone’s happiness would affect Su Binglan.

“I have 540 coins here.” “I have 2,326 coins.”

“I counted it, and it’s a total of…”

“We have so many. I couldn’t keep track.”

Su Binglan could count the money quickly on her own, but she wanted everyone to count alongside her so they could feel happy. After calculating the money, the family earned 136 silver taels and 215 copper coins.

“A-Am I hallucinating?” Su Wenzhe widened his eyes.

‘It was just one day, and we earned so much?! Who knows how much we can earn when the restaurant becomes even more famous in the future?!’

Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an’s records and said, “Every note Jin’an took was evident, including what time the customer paid and how much they spent. So, you didn’t hallucinate.”

“Ah, I’m so excited.” Su Wenwu pinched himself.

Su Wenxiu laughed. He went to help at the restaurant after Hundred Herbs Hospital closed for the day. He enjoyed the atmosphere and felt working hard to earn money as a family was good.

Su Wenxiu knew he had to continue studying medicine, but he also liked helping his family whenever he had time. Still, he had not yet earned any money since he was only studying at the hospital.

His parents and siblings were the ones who paid for the food and expenses at home, so he wanted to do his part in the family by helping wherever possible.

However, he would earn quite a sum of money and give it to his parents after harvesting and selling his medicinal herbs to Hundred Herbs Hospital. He enjoyed how it felt to plant herbs and could not wait for them to multiply.

Su Fengmao’s hands trembled as he asked, “I-Is that true, Binglan? It’s only been a day, and we’ve already earned so much. Who knows how much we can earn in a year.”

Shen Qiuhua could not hide her smile. “Wow, I’m thrilled!”

Liu Yinyin laughed. Her sister-in-law’s restaurant had earned a lot of money, so she was happy too. She wanted to experience the same happiness. Moreover, the tofu factory was about to open. When the time came, the factory could make even more money.

Liu Yinyin was genuinely looking forward to it.

The platform was warm and cozy as everyone discussed today’s events.

Su Binglan roughly calculated the cost and said, “This doesn’t include the cost, though. After deducting that, we’ll have only about a hundred silver taels left. After all, the meat and ingredients cost money too.

“The restaurant will be more popular during the first three days because of the discounts, but we should earn a balanced amount later. We’ll have more customers, especially when it snows during the winter. Then we can earn quite a lot by the end of the year..”
