Chapter 764: Concordance (1)_1
The two had little time to spend together and even fewer opportunities to meet, as Xiao Ruiyuan was occupied with official duties that prevented him from accompanying Mo Yan for long.
Although Mo Yan felt a tinge of regret, she wasn’t truly a teenaged girl who needed her beloved to be constantly by her side. Thus, they went to Huixian Residence, ordered a few dishes, and after having lunch together, they parted ways—one headed to the Government Office for work, and the other to the rice shop to find help.
After a year of operations, thanks to the high quality and variety of the grain, Mo Family Fragrant Rice Shop had made a name for itself within Jing City. It had almost wooed half of the upper middle class families in the city, with daily sales of grain reaching over three thousand catties. As such, delivery of grain from Liu Yang Village to the shop was necessary every other day.
When Mo Yan arrived at the rice shop, Lizhong, Tie Tou, and Wang Pangtou, who had been busy all morning, were eating lunch in a small room.
Seeing Mo Yan come at this moment, the three men thought she hadn’t eaten. Wang Pangtou put down his utensils, rolled up his sleeves to head to the kitchen to fry a couple more dishes but was stopped by Mo Yan, "Please, sit down and eat. I’ve already had my meal."
Lizhong, sitting nearby, laughed and said, "Brother Fat Head’s cooking isn’t bad. Why not add a little more, Yan girl?"
"What a pity. If I hadn’t just come from Huixian Residence, I really couldn’t eat another bite. I would have insisted on trying it!" Mo Yan said with a smile as she declined.
Upon hearing this, Lizhong did not insist.
Mo Yan told them to continue eating while she took the account book and started reviewing it at the counter outside.
With the rice shop doing well, the daily income was high. Earning seven or eight hundred silver in a month was not a problem, which was much better than Mo Yan had previously anticipated.
