Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

In the past two or three days, many people from other places have come to buy this before leaving, carrying vacuum-packed items onto their vehicles.

The name had already become well-known in the town, and people from neighboring villages had even inquired about it.

Originally intending to ask for 10,000, Lin Quan pondered for a moment and changed his mind to 5,000.

Trademark registration costs money and time; it's not something you can just give away for free.

The fame of those four characters was earned by him, pot after pot.

As master and disciple, each should receive five thousand Yanhuang coins; that's fair.

The ten apprentices looked at each other, and without much hesitation, each took out five thousand yuan.

Lin Quan received 50,000 yuan and treated everyone to a good meal that evening.

The next morning, a new notice was posted at the shop entrance: Accepting apprentices.

"Boss, have your ten apprentices disbanded?"

"I've learned everything, and I'm looking for a shop to open one."

"You'll be ready in just a few days?"

"The tuition is 10,000. Teach them as soon as possible so I can free up my time to teach the next batch."

"Boss, you wouldn't be holding back a trick up your sleeve, would you?"

"If I hold back something, who will trust me in the future?"

"Can you really get the hang of it in just one week?"

"Take three days to figure out the tricks of the trade, and then spend the remaining four days practicing until you're proficient and steady."

"Can the tuition be reduced?"

"Ten thousand as a minimum. If you want to hang a sign that says 'Sichuan-style Braised Goose,' add another five thousand."

"Doesn't this equate to franchising?"

"Franchising requires paying fees every year, but with me... the brand is only sold once, for five thousand yuan, it's crystal clear."

"It adds up to 15,000, which is worth it."

"The restaurant business is one where you can't afford to fail. People like me, without qualifications or connections, rely on this to make a living."

"I've heard that some people who were in the stock market before their rebirth became rich overnight, while others lost everything, including their underwear."

"That's normal. Everyone's watching the market closely; no one can predict whether it will go up or down in advance."

"I really envy those who register song titles, scripts, and GG phrases; they can make money just by lying down."

There are no shortcuts in this world; only those who persevere and work hard can truly stand the test of time.

Before noon, the second round of ten apprentices had been gathered.

They all work in nearby factories, the youngest being twenty-five and the oldest thirty-six.

Their ideas are all very practical: learn how to make braised goose, rent a shop at home, and start business immediately.

Worried that braised goose won't sell? Then open a noodle shop instead... use the braising sauce to make the soup, and the noodles will still be so delicious that people will lick the bowl clean.

In Zhejiang province, the average monthly salary is around 1,000 yuan, so 10,000 yuan is neither a small amount nor an exorbitant sum.

Why would anyone pay? Because they'd seen it with their own eyes: over a hundred geese coming and going from his shop every day, earning more money than they'd make in three months working at a factory.

Who hasn't dreamed of being a boss?

Working in the factory, you have to bend over whenever the team leader says something.

It's quite common for factories to experience cash flow problems and wages to be delayed by one or two months.

"He took on apprentices, put up a signboard, and earned 248,000 in revenue."

Lin Quan taught with sincerity, and his ten apprentices learned thoroughly, their notebooks filled with detailed notes.

In less than two days, I understood everything I needed to know and mastered everything I needed to master.

With these ten more people in the shop, Lin Quan's workload became so light that he barely had anything to do.

Cleaning fresh geese? The apprentices can do it right away.

Sweep and mop? He just opens his mouth and he's there.

He leaned against the shop entrance, a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking relaxed as he slowly exhaled the smoke.

"This tree is blocking half of the signboard; if it weren't there..."

He reached out and placed his hand on the tree trunk, the thought just flashing through his mind...

A surge of heat rushed into my body.

In the blink of an eye, the leaves turned yellow and fell.

Lin Quan was startled and quickly took two steps back.

Looking up again, a small section of the tree branch was bare, and the leaves were scattered everywhere.

"Strange."

"Just now... something really rushed into my body?"

"Reborn with something? A system? Superpowers? Or just a coincidence?"

He glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

At six o'clock in the evening, after the braised goose was sold out and the house was cleaned up, he treated his ten apprentices to a meal.

After paying the bill and seeing the customer off, he returned to the shop entrance, raised his hand and pressed it against the tree trunk again, a thought suddenly forming in his mind...

The heat surged in again.

"Can it absorb the energy of trees? Or all living things?"

The thought had just formed in his mind when he tried to push that initial enthusiasm back.

On the treetops, a few tender buds were already beginning to emerge.

With another contraction, the heat flowed back into his body.

He took a deep breath, went home, opened and closed the door, took a shower, changed his clothes, and fell asleep until the alarm clock rang.

The next day, we collected money, worked, and rushed to meet the deadline as usual.

An impetuous young man passed by and, feeling itchy, kicked a tree.

With a crisp "crack!", the tree trunk snapped and crashed to the ground.

Everyone around was startled.

The young man took off running without even looking back.

Twenty minutes later, several people came to investigate.

I checked the surveillance footage and watched it several times, but I still couldn't find the cause.

In just two days, a perfectly healthy tree withered like this, causing much discussion among the neighbors.

Even if he were reborn twenty years ago, he would still have this much composure.

Many of the children who are just over a year old right now are reborn.

None of them, who should have been in kindergarten, went.

Not to mention what they learn in kindergarten, they can memorize elementary school textbooks, junior high school exam papers, and high school notes with their eyes closed.

Parents are relieved, but kindergartens are struggling to stay afloat...

Without people, there are no tuition fees, no uniform fees, and no other miscellaneous charges.

Rent still needs to be paid, teachers' salaries still need to be paid, and one business after another is closing down.

Nine out of ten newborn babies are reborn.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the kindergarten will likely be unable to fill even one class in the next three years.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Quan took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and strolled slowly along the road.

Touching each tree along the roadside, my fingertips felt a slight warmth, and each tree seemed to emanate a bit of life.

"My face is brighter, and my arms are heavier."

"The fact that a withered tree can turn green again shows that this energy is truly beneficial to health."

"It can be absorbed, and it can also be returned... It's like borrowing, and it's like returning."

He casually caught a small insect, squeezing it half-dead, and poured a little warm fluid into it.

The insect shuddered and came to life.

He tried again, pulling in the opposite direction... The insect landed stiff and motionless.

An inanimate object? It doesn't react when touched.

After more than an hour of fussing, he looked relaxed and strolled home.

"I have over 300,000 in my bank account. Once I've saved up 30 million, I'll go back to my hometown to farm and find some peace and quiet."

A few days later, the second batch of apprentices graduated, and he received another five thousand yuan for the use of the signboard.

The third batch will enroll ten people, with each person paying a tuition fee of 10,000 yuan.

There are many factories nearby, and more than a hundred people have already lined up to register.

The franchise fee for "Delicious Duck Neck" keeps rising, but in terms of taste, it's really not as good as his Sichuan-style braised goose.

Lin Quan pondered for a whole night and added an extra-large stainless steel copper pot.

One pot can stew about 120 fresh geese at a time.

The store currently has a total of four pots: two extra-large and two regular-sized.

The tasks of slaughtering, washing, and marinating geese were all left to the apprentices.

Every morning when the alarm clock rings, he starts cooking goose.

As soon as the apprentices entered, they immediately took over the newly arrived fresh geese, cleaned them, and neatly stacked them in the large freezer... to be used the next morning.

He never uses leftover braising sauce; it's all prepared, stir-fried, and cooked on the spot.

"Chicken, duck, and goose can be braised together; the flavors will be well balanced."

"Don't mix in other ingredients, they'll easily cause the flavors to mix."

"For ingredients with strong flavors, such as pork intestines and pig's heart, cook them separately."

"Some ingredients, if mixed together and left overnight before eating, can easily cause poisoning, and those with weak constitutions cannot withstand it."

He taught openly and honestly, his students learned diligently, and he himself became quite relaxed.
