In the evening, Jiang Xiaoyan returned home and saw the table full of food. She was stunned on the spot. Lu Feng walked out of the kitchen, took off his apron, and said smiling, "Hurry up and eat!"
"You got off work so early?" Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at the food on the table and asked suspiciously, "Did you borrow money again?"
Lu Feng thought she would be happy, but he didn't expect her to suspect him the first thing. He replied, "I said I picked up the money again, don't you believe it?"
"Do you think I believe it? What are you doing out there?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, worried.
"What I'm doing is certainly legal. Don't worry, today is an important day. We must celebrate." Lu Feng walked over to Duo Duo, picked her up and slowly placed her on the chair, and said, "We will eat good food today, are you happy?"
"Happy!" The little girl replied energetically.
"Give me a kiss!" Demanded Lu Feng, trying to be the best father he can.
Duo Duo chewed on Lu Feng's face very unceremoniously and covered his face was with kisses!
Jiang Xiaoyan sat aside and looked at the table of food. She couldn't describe how she felt: he really got better, no longer yelling at her and hitting people, but now she is more worried.
Lu Feng coaxed a lot of kisses, and saw Jiang Xiaoyan look sad. He asked her worryingly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Lu Feng, tell me the truth. Are you going to the gambling table?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked with a calm face, "How much did you win?"
"I didn't gamble!" Seeing her disbelief, Lu Feng sighed and said, "I have set up a small factory to produce canned food. It will officially start to operate tomorrow, so our life will be better soon."

He has a factory? In Jiang Xiaoyan's ears, this is more unbelievable than a pig climbing a tree.
"Let’s live this way. If it doesn’t work, I’ll not be able to continue. I will be paid salary the day after tomorrow. I will pay off my family’s debts; also, I will pay off Li Da Fang’s money."
Jiang Xiaoyan then sat down and completed herself, "I do not expect you to become better. I just hope you think about our mother and father as well. I do not have much ability; two jobs have been very tiring."
"I know." Lu Feng stepped forward to look at her. He wrapped his hands around her and whispered, "Days will get better. I have started a factory."
Jiang Xiaoyan was hugged, feeling the solidity and heat in his chest, her face flushed. This sort of feeling had never been touched before by her.
Duo Duo looked at them, wide-eyed eyes and exclaimed, "Daddy is ashamed and hugged mommy!"
Jiang Xiaoyan blushed like a monkey's buttocks after hearing the comment made by her daughter. Struggling to push Lu Feng away, she exclaimed, "What are you doing. The child is watching!"
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Feng got puzzled, then thought that he was so open now, he could hug casually, even her.
After dinner, Lu Feng lay in his bed at night, thinking about tomorrow’s opening. He was very excited. Even companies who start to make their first profits could not have been this excited. He could not fall asleep until the latter half of the night.
The following day, Lu Feng and Jiang Xiaoyan woke up simultaneously. The sky was still dark outside.
"Got up so early?"
"I have to get there early. Today is the opening, " Lu Feng finished washing and ate his breakfast.
"Did you really set up a factory?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked in disbelief.
"You treat me like I'm out eating, drinking, and gambling. Also, the factory will be running. You can quit your job as a waitress in the restaurant. If the business is good, stop working and be a housewife." Lu Feng said calmly.
"A housewife? Where did you get this money? How come I don't know?"
"Don't ask so much." Lu Feng seemed to have found the passion of his previous entrepreneurial life. After eating swiftly, he stood up and kissed Jiang Xiaoyan's on her lips like a splash of water and unconsciously said, "Baby, I'm leaving!"
Jiang Xiaoyan was blown away on the spot, her body was as stiff as an electric shock, and only his "baby" was left in her mind.
When she recovered from the shock, she found that Lu Feng had already left.
"We were at home, fortunately. This is too much."
Although Jiang Xiaoyan felt too flashy, there was a hint of sweetness that soothed her battered heart to the bottom.
At six o'clock in the morning, the workers who applied for work yesterday had arrived, with Datou standing at the door. When he saw Lu Feng coming, he grinned widely.
"Why did you come here so early?" Lu Feng looked at Datou and wondered.
"I told my parents yesterday that I don't want to farm the land forever. My dad said that I should go out and take a break. Weeds grow every year, but I won't; after all, I'm 22 years old!"
After hearing this, Lu Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Your father is really insightful!"
Lu Feng opened the door and announced, "On the first day of opening, let me give you a few words. The salary will be calculated starting from today; next month, the salary will be paid. Good work, rewards, and gifts will come in a while. Now, everyone, wipe the machine and start a fire on the stove! The men are responsible for cooking the fruits, and the women are responsible for the packaging at the machine, you understand?"
"Yes!" everyone replied.
At nine o'clock in the morning, a tractor stopped at the door. Sun Longbin jumped out of the tractor, glanced at the door, and said, "Brother Feng, I have something for you."
Everyone was unloading the goods. Lu Feng glanced at the bill and put it in his pocket.
"Brother Feng, how long are you planning to do this?" Sun Longbin looked around and whispered, "Brother Feng, my dad encountered something in the village. Can you see if you can-"
Lu Feng hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Sun Longbin, and replied coldly, "My old man ignores me right now, understand?"
Sun Longbin nodded and did not say further; this lifted Lu Feng's heart. He will make himself busy as soon as he gets the stuff; now, he can prevaricate. How about for a while?
Soon after, the canned bottles from the glass factory arrived while Lu Feng and Sun Longbin were busy exchanging words of kindness.
Noon: the first pot of canned food was boiled, and the women workers were busy bottling on the machine. Lu Feng took a deep breath as he watched the crowd work in full swing and thought that the market demand was enormous, and he was close to getting rich.
"Is Boss Lu here?" someone asked at the door.
Lu Feng turned around to see Zhou Hao and hurriedly responded, "I'm here."
"Something was delayed today, the shipment thing that I said yesterday." Zhou Hao reminded.
"I know, let's go out to talk!" Lu Feng spoke outside. According to the market he knows, the canned food is mainly supply-marketing cooperatives and commissaries, and the payment is quick.
"Our canned food will be mainly in the rural market."
"The countryside?" Zhou Hao frowned, "There is no money in the villages, and people are all paying with grain."
"We need grain!"
"But the grain is not easy to get; the backlog is too great." Zhou Hao retreated a bit. The grain turnover was too tricky. He said, "Boss Lu, I can pay a portion of the purchase price. First, get the canned food and then sell it to the commissary every month. One checkout at a time."
"No, No, No!" Lu Feng waved his hand, "I don't want your money. You take the canned food, go to villages and exchange it for grain, then give me the grain, and I will deal with it. I will give you 2 Cents for each bottle you exchange."
Zhou Hao was overwhelmed. According to Lu Feng, would Zhou not have any risk at all? The grain in the countryside is not valuable, and many people regularly exchange it for various commodities.
"Boss Lu, I understand what you said, but I have more than a dozen brothers. Are you sure you want to give two cents for each bottle?" Zhou Hao's eyes widened with surprise, and he did not say any further.
Lu Feng nodded. Indeed, there is a lot of profit lost for two cents, but he has just started. He has to give them a profit to build trust and still make a lot of money!
