At this time, seeing that something seemed to be selling well on this side, a passerby came over.

“What are you selling here?”

“Soybean dregs cake. It’s quite delicious,” the young ladies who haven’t gone far yet were happy to answer.

“Really? Then give me a few too.”

… …

After the first wave of customers, Lin Momo and her mobile stall soon welcomed the second and third waves of customers…

Lin Momo’s business was getting better and better!

But today was not a weekend after all, so the flow of people on the pedestrian-only street was limited. As the afternoon went on, the flow of people on the pedestrian-only street gradually decreased, and fewer people were buying roadside snacks.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Cheng took Lin Momo away.

On the way back, Lin Momo munched on a bean dregs cake in her hand.

“The soybean dregs cakes we sell are really delicious,” Lin Momo murmured while eating.

After saying that, Lin Momo stared seriously and began to immerse herself in her calculations.

In one afternoon, most of the bean dregs cakes and vegetarian meatballs they made had been sold.

“One, two, three… There are still 22 large cakes, 16 small cakes, and 8 skewers of meatballs left here. I have eaten 4 of them, used 6 for the trial, and given 4 to the nice older sister from the bread store, and then one to the old lady across the street… So today we sold a total of 31 small cakes, 36 large cakes, and 22 skewers of meatballs!”

“We earned a total of 147 yuan!” Lin Momo said excitedly.

“In this case, separating the materials we bought that can be used again from the things we need to buy every day in the future, the total cost is…”

“About 450.” Before Lin Momo could calculate the total cost, Lin Cheng had already given her the answer.

Then, Lin Cheng added, “So if we sell out all of today’s items and sell a similar amount of bean dregs cakes tomorrow, we can recover all the costs.”

That would mean all the money earned in the days after would be their profit.

“Is that so? By the end of this week, we can make a lot of money!” Thinking of this, Lin Momo had an expression of gleeful anticipation on her face.

Lin Cheng smiled and did not refute Lin Momo’s words ‘a lot of money’.

… …

The two returned to their place of residence.

The tofu business of Hu Mao’s family next door seemed to be very good today. Before 4 pm, all the different varieties of tofu in their stall have been already been sold out.

At this time, the couple was cleaning pots and pans.

After chatting with them for a few words, Lin Cheng left Lin Momo at home and once again went out with their unsold bean dregs cakes.

This time, Lin Cheng went to a street farther away. There were schools and many large and small companies nearby.

At this time, it was time get off work and for school to be over.

Gradually, there were more and more people who just got off work or school walking on the street.

Lin Cheng quickly sold all the remaining bean dregs cakes and veggie meatballs.

… …

However, Lin Cheng did not immediately return to their residence but first went to the building materials market he had previously gone to.

At this time, some shops have already closed while other shops were busy loading and unloading goods. There were also some shops that will stay open until late. At this time, the bosses of these shops could be seen eating dinner in the shop.

… …

Lin Cheng’s coming here at this time made everyone in the livestream channel a little confused:

[What is Lin Cheng doing here again?]

[Selling bean dregs cakes?]

[Can’t be, aren’t all the bean dregs cakes sold out?]

[Then what is he doing?]

[Is he buying something?]

[The question is, what else is there to buy for that broken shed?]

Just when everyone was confused, Lin Cheng walked straight to the area in the market where wallpaper and decorative wall paint were sold.

Lin Cheng had paid special attention to this place when he came here the day before yesterday, so he easily found it without any detour.

At this time, there were still several shops open along the passage. Lin Cheng stopped at one.

The walls inside the store were covered with various wallpapers for display, and the table in the center of the store was also filled with sample brochures.

At the same time, there were several cardboard boxes stacked on one side of the store entrance containing wallpaper. There was a sign saying ‘Discounted Wallpaper‘ written on the cardboard boxes.

“Excuse me, how much is the wallpaper over there?” Lin Cheng asked the boss, pointing to the pile of discounted wallpaper.

Most of these wallpapers were from the same batch and the same style, but the bulk of the inventory have already been sold and there were only a few rolls left. Because the remaining rolls were not enough to cover a large area, they were difficult to sell, so they were stacked by the door and were being sold at a special discounted price.

Hearing someone ask about the price, the boss walked out the front of the store.

“It depends on which one you want. The big ones cost 40 per roll, the medium ones cost 20 per roll, and the small ones cost 15 per roll. Don’t look at them being leftovers. These are all high-quality wallpapers from big brands. They are made of natural materials and do not contain harmful substances. Yes, if there were enough left, we wouldn’t offer it at discounted prices. This low price is really not enough considering the quality.”

After talking for a while, the boss looked at Lin Cheng and asked, “How big is your area? If these can fit your place, go and take it. It’s very cost-efficient.”

“Two by three meters, about that big.”

“What about the height of the room?”

“About 3 meters.”

Hearing Lin Cheng’s words, the boss nodded and muttered, “That’s not big at all.

“That’s about 30 square meters. Counting the loss from cutting the edges, you can look to buy about 40 square meters. 

“The small one here is 5.3 square meters per roll, but I don’t know if you can still find 7 rolls. There should be more medium ones. One roll is 7 square meters, you can take five or six rolls. There’s also the large size, but your room is small and it will be a big loss. You should get at least three rolls.”

Hearing this, Lin Cheng calculated the total and the remaining money in his mind and frowned slightly.

“Can I get additional discount?” Lin Cheng asked.

“These are all good quality. They are already being sold at a loss. They really can’t be sold too cheap. If you like, there are 10 yuan per roll over there—but they’re of poor quality. The price is the same regardless of size. Do you want to take a look?” The boss pointed to a box of wallpaper next to the wall that was already gathering dust.

“I prefer the good ones.”

“This… Good ones are really not cheap.”
