Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Braised goose is easy to prepare, and slaughtering it is also quick.

During the day, he would guard the shop, and after dinner, he would go out for a stroll, specifically picking trees by the roadside to touch, taking a bit of the tree and leaving a bit for himself, without being greedy or stealing.

If a tree loses its vitality, it will naturally recover in a few days.

Lin Quan could sense that all the life force that had been absorbed was sinking into his upper dantian.

He wasn't familiar with other acupoints, but the locations of the three dantian points and the Yongquan acupoint were already etched in his mind. When he was fifteen or sixteen, he became obsessed with martial arts, frequently visiting the county library and poring over sports books… Decades ago, martial arts were categorized as a form of physical education; many movements in calisthenics originated from old boxing manuals. He memorized phrases like "concentrate your mind and calm your breath, tongue against the upper palate, focus your energy at the center of your head," and "true energy rises from the Yongquan acupoint." After years of practice, he hadn't achieved anything significant, only gaining a larger lung capacity and being able to run longer.

After teaching his fourth batch of apprentices, he closed his shop for a day and took a bus to the county town.

Of the more than one billion Chinese people today, nine out of ten are reborn. The taxes due cannot be delayed, cannot be avoided, and must be paid sooner or later.

The braised food shop has a low tax burden, taking only 5% of the turnover, with no other charges. With 40 apprentices, the apprenticeship fees plus the signboard usage fee brought in 598,000 Yanhuang coins; in the 36 days since opening, 413,527 braised geese and braised eggs have been sold.

Without an electronic tax system, it's impossible to pay online; you have to go to the tax bureau in person.

The total business tax amounted to 50,576.35 yuan.

"After deducting rent, utilities, and seasonings, the net profit is 642,853."

"Looking solely at the braised food business, after deducting tuition fees and signboard costs, only a little over 90,000 yuan is left."

The tuition and signboard fees alone amount to 600,000 per person. These two expenses should be included in the braised food restaurant's revenue; that makes sense.

Lin Quan knew perfectly well that when money was tight, he couldn't skimp on the taxes he was supposed to pay; and he wouldn't overpay anything he could. If he paid personal income tax according to the rules, he would have to deduct more than 120,000 yuan from his 600,000 yuan tax bill.

With his savings just exceeding 600,000 yuan, he walked with a light step. At current housing prices, that's enough to buy a small apartment even in Haizhou.

He suffered a great loss in Haizhou back then; that place was like a mirror, reflecting his most wretched self. He could manage in Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Jiangsu, but he never intended to settle there. His only goal was to earn tens of millions in Zhejiang, then return to his hometown to build a house, farm, and retire.

"He's grown taller recently, and his unique skills have improved along with him... The root of it probably lies in that life force."

Walking down the pedestrian street, he picked and chose, buying three sets of clothes and three pairs of shoes. He used to be 1.7 meters tall, but now he's 1.75 meters. Absorbing the vitality of plants, his body seems to have grown a second cycle, and his innate talent has become even more striking.

"Three sets of clothes and three pairs of shoes cost over five thousand yuan, which is really not cheap."

Carrying bags of various items, I also bought a computer and took a bus back to the store. After setting up the internet, installing the system, and playing a few rounds of Counter-Strike, I decided to go.

At 5:30 in the morning, the day's harvest is tallied; at 6:00 sharp, ten apprentices arrive on time, and I teach them for half an hour first; then I let them work on cleaning two hundred fresh geese... Prepared the day before, they can be used the next day when the business opens. Two half-size stainless steel buckets are provided for the apprentices to practice with; I take care of the seasonings, but the apprentices have to pay for the goose meat themselves.

Around 7 p.m., after cleaning up the shop, he treated his ten apprentices to dinner.

"I should get a driver's license. In my past life, I could drive both two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles."

The next morning, he went directly to the driving school to register. For subjects one through four, passing was all that was needed; no practice was required. He figured he could pass the theory questions with a quick scan.

Every day, we collect, count, and deposit money; every week, we make a phone call to check on progress; new people replace old ones, and the flow of people is like a never-ending river.

He wasn't in a hurry, but his apprentices couldn't wait. They wanted to learn the skills, open their own shops, and become bosses as soon as possible. A month's work in a factory paid a little over a thousand... and that was in Zhejiang province; in a small inland city, six or seven hundred was the maximum; in even more remote areas, a year's income was less than three hundred.

Last year, the economic growth rate of Yanhuang Kingdom surged to over 50 percentage points; barring unforeseen circumstances, it will double again this year. The influx of over a billion newborns is not just creating ripples, but stirring up massive waves.

Patents that should have belonged to foreigners were registered by Chinese people first; technologies and equipment that should have taken years or even decades to be implemented are now on the shelves; stock speculators simply went abroad and swept through overseas stock markets... Relying on their foresight, they made a fortune. Of course, some also stumbled and lost everything.

The fact that he was reborn is no secret.

Nineteen-year-old Lin Quan didn't have such grand ambitions. His abilities were what they were; what others considered "small goals" seemed impossibly distant to him.

Taking advantage of the current positive reputation, selling more braised geese and collecting more tuition fees and brand fees is the most reliable approach.

There are too many reborn people, and the world changes too fast. Some veterans in various industries not only failed to make a fortune, but instead sold their possessions and lost everything.

Follow other people's paths, leaving them with no path to follow.

Everyone here has been reborn and is figuring out how to earn their first pot of gold as quickly as possible.

If you made money in a certain industry in your past life, and you start at the same point in this life, who can guarantee that no one will get ahead of you?

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, a middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered the store.

"The goose isn't braised yet."

"Boss, what do you want to do with this braising oil?"

Why are you asking that?

"Two yuan a pound, I'll take it."

How often should we collect them?

"How many are there now?"

"About fifty kilograms."

"I'll take them all."

The amount of oil extracted during the braising of goose is already considerable.

Most of the braising oil from braised food shops ends up in the stoves of noodle shops.

Lin Quan had planned to find a stable buyer, but unexpectedly, the buyer came to him on his own.

It's not gutter oil, it's genuine braised goose oil, only two yuan per pound, not expensive.

Geese are naturally immune to cancer cells, and the oil extracted from them has an aroma that wafts straight into your nose...

He opened the freezer, took out several buckets of oil, weighed them, calculated the bill, and collected the money—all very efficiently.

One hundred and twenty braised geese were sold out that day.

He could probably have sold out if he had braised a dozen or so more, but he didn't.

Arrive late and you won't be able to buy anything, which makes people think that the goods are in short supply.

With 120 braised geese and 200 braised eggs every day, the pre-tax net profit is nearly 3,000.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Quan's account had more than 600,000 yuan.

"The retail price has risen to 5,000 yuan per square meter."

After thinking it over for a while, he bought two row shops.

"One hundred and twenty square meters, totaling six hundred thousand."

Based on the original trend, in nineteen years, the price of nearby shops could reach 41,000 yuan per square meter.

Even if the reborn ones stir up the market, the current price of five thousand is still quite strong.

Housing prices have skyrocketed too quickly, leaving ordinary people unable to keep up. As a result, properties remain unsold, immediately straining developers' cash flow.

"The apartment costs 1,810 yuan per square meter and comes with one parking space."

A ready-to-move-in apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and two bathrooms, with a floor area of ​​120 square meters, was purchased for 216,000 yuan.

Having suffered losses and stumbled in their past lives, those reborn generally dare not touch off-plan properties and prefer to rent.

Avoid properties with inflated property management fees and those with unclear shared area calculations!

Developers whose cash flow is running out have no choice but to sell off existing properties to recoup their losses... Without money in hand, how can they dare to acquire land and build buildings?

The parking space cost 12,000, and I have 425,000 left in my account.
