Chapter 276: Chapter 154: Old Sun’s Condition Worsens—His Days Are Numbered

Around 7 p.m.

A sumptuous dinner was served on the table.

A steamed bass and a plate of braised prawns.

Plus a large plate of appetizing chicken and a dish of garlic broccoli.

The soup was vermicelli spinach meatball soup and tomato egg soup.

With three people who can cook at home, it’s hard not to gain weight.

Jiang Tao’s weight has soared from 145 jin before the New Year to 165 jin now, a full 20 jin increase!

His once skinny frame is now a bit chubby, time to intensify the workout!

The Body Building Treadmill bought from He Jing is indeed a necessity for him.

"Dad, Mom, Sis, your cooking skills are wasted if you don’t open a restaurant!"

"Someday let my second brother invest in a restaurant for you, I’ll visit every day!"

Jiang Bing complimented the three with a thumbs up while eating big chunks of the chicken.

It’s as if the earlier argument with Jiang Tao never happened.

"Dad’s chicken has improved again, I really think you could open a restaurant."

Jiang Tao also took a piece of chicken. It was tender and flavorful, never getting dull no matter how much you eat.

"Hehe, if it tastes good, eat more."

Jiang Wen was happily flattered by the siblings.

To be honest, he had confidence in this signature dish of his.

When he was younger, he thought about opening a restaurant, but with three kids to support, there was no capital.

And he had no risk tolerance, fearing losing money and incurring massive debt.

So, he could only do some labor-intensive work that required no capital to earn a living.

Now, tasked by his son with making Eight Treasure Pickles, the idea of opening a restaurant has faded further.

The reason he stayed in Beijing this time was to play the role of a "brick" for his son.

Wherever he’s needed, he’ll go.

"Mom, the prawns you made are also delicious~ Mom, have some prawns."

Jiang Xue said while placing the first prawn she peeled into Xu Li’s bowl.

The little one is quite mischievous but can also be very touching when she cares about others.

"You’re really mommy’s good daughter."

Xu Li didn’t decline and patted her little head, picking up the shrimp from the bowl and eating it.

This was the best shrimp she had ever eaten.

With three generations in the same room, they enjoyed the family bliss, creating a harmonious and joyful dining atmosphere.

After dinner, Xu Li and her mother went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Jiang Bing and Jiang Xue returned to Jiang Xue’s room to play with dolls again.

Jiang Tao and his father went to the balcony, opened the window slightly, and each lit a post-meal cigarette.

While smoking, they chatted about the factory’s progress.

In the past two days, Jiang Tao had been busy with the blueberry pot planting and hadn’t gone to the factory.

But whatever happened there, his father would report to him meticulously.

The Jiang’s Eight Treasure Pickles hasn’t officially launched yet and has been in preparation.

Currently, over 1500 jin has been stocked.

The factory’s operating room will take another three or four days to complete.

The renovation at the market will take about a week as well.

Jiang Tao is now confident and not in a hurry to monetize the product.

He told his father not to rush and to stockpile steadily.

With the taste of Jiang’s Eight Treasure Pickles, there will definitely be no shortage of demand in the future.

After Xu Li and her mother finished washing, she and her father went downstairs to find Old Sun to hang out.

"Honey, should I call Teacher Jiang now to ask her?"

Xu Li, drying her hands, came out of the kitchen and sat beside Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao nodded in agreement:

"Go ahead, the sooner the better, we’ve been relaxed for over half a month, it’s time to get moving."

"How about the salary? How much should we offer?"

Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao, seeking his opinion.

Having just arrived in Beijing this year, she knew nothing about tutoring salaries here.

"Why not ask Li Ziyue’s mom?"

Jiang Tao shrugged, equally clueless about these things.

"Alright, I’ll ask Ziyue’s mom first then."

After speaking, Xu Li leaned over to pick up the phone placed on the coffee table and dialed Li Jiali’s number.

"Hello, Ziyue’s mom..."

"I want to inquire about tutoring issues..."

"Oh, okay, got it, thanks."

"Thanks, Ziyue’s mom, alright, goodbye."

After hanging up with Li Jiali, Xu Li couldn’t help but marvel:

"Rich people are really willing to spend money on their kids’ education!"

"What did she say?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Jiang Tao, busy browsing his social circle, hadn’t been listening to Xu Li’s conversation with Li Jiali.

"Ziyue’s mom said their tutor is a postgraduate student from Tsinghua’s preschool education program and gets 2000 yuan for two hours a day."

"..."

Jiang Tao was equally shocked by the price.

A tutor earning 1000 yuan per hour.

In a month, spending on tutoring alone would cost 60,000 yuan!

Li Ziyue’s parents are generous indeed!

"Honey, how much should we offer Teacher Jiang?"

Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao, feeling at a loss.

Hearing her daughter’s classmate has a tutor earning 1000 yuan per hour didn’t deter Xu Li but made her feel even more urgency!

Jiang Tao said, "Around 20,000 yuan a month is acceptable, something like what Ziyue’s family is doing is a bit excessive."

"Indeed... and, I feel 20,000 isn’t low either."

Xu Li clicked her tongue, experiencing the competitiveness of a big city firsthand for the first time!

But since they chose to send their daughter to a school like Eddy, these expenses can’t be avoided.

After a brief discussion, Xu Li found Jiang Yi’s number and dialed it, quickly getting through.
