Bajie handed over the envelope and said, "Sister-in-law, here is the pre-order list, and the last batch of money."
Lu Jueyu took the envelope and said, "Thank you, Brother Bajie. My husband is not at home, so it is inconvenient to invite you in."
Bajie nodded and said, "It’s alright, Sister-in-law. I still need to visit others so I will take my leave now."
After speaking, he checked the surrounding situation, turned around and left.
Lu Jueyu locked the door and went to her bedroom. She sat on the Kang bed and checked the pre-order list. Sure enough, Houzi limited the amount of the pre-order according to her request. While she may be making less money, her items will become rarer which attracts more people.
Since her target market was the wealthy families, she planned to make a name for herself before the economic reform and opening up. So when she finally opened her own restaurant, she didn’t need to advertise, people would automatically associate her restaurant with "delicious, wealthy, rare, and upscale."
To do this, she had to add another menu. She took a piece of paper and a pen from the drawer and began writing a list of food and drinks. Unlike the previous list which only had ordinary food and drinks, this time the list is filled with tonics, cocktails, desserts, and other exquisite food and drinks.
As for the daily amount of this list, it is only thirty percent compared to the first list. She is implementing a hunger marketing strategy. As soon as she finished writing the menu, she heard Lu Han’s voice coming from the front yard, "Jue Yu, are you home?"
Hearing her brother’s voice, Lu Jueyu kept the list in the space and went to open the door, "Coming."
Opening the door, she saw Lu Han walking back and forth with a frown on his face.
"Brother, what’s wrong?" she asked.
Lu Han heard her voice, turned around, and said, "Jueyu, mother asked me to call you back to our parent’s house."
"What’s the matter?" she asked again.
"This... our parents are going to separate the family." Lu Han sighed and said.
Lu Jueyu was stunned by her brother’s words and said, "Why did our mother want to separate the family so suddenly? Elder brother, what actually happened?"
"Lu Cheng and I don’t know what happened either. When we were having breakfast, our mother suddenly told us about it. You should come with me."
Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
