Chapter 005: Ways to Make Money

Although this plan still has many complications, for instance, if one wants to open a small restaurant, there are numerous procedures to handle, such as hygiene permits, individual business registration, health certifications for staff, and so on, there are just too many procedures to manage

Incredibly convenient

Choosing hot pot as the first step in entrepreneurship has another consideration. That is, hot pot is very convenient, requiring minimal effort from the host!

The prices of agricultural and sideline products are difficult to increase; even if they were to rise tenfold, it would still be hard to achieve wealth, as the land in small spaces is limited, the yield of spring water is finite, and the production of agricultural and sideline products is certainly limited. Furthermore, the issue of the sources of agricultural and sideline products is also a significant problem

Fortunately, there was still a hoe at home. Anliang carried the hoe and began to cultivate the rooftop garden and the small yard. Although only a portion of the land in the small yard was cultivated, by the time Anliang finished everything, it was nearly eight o'clock in the evening

After Chinese cuisine is excluded, Western cuisine is certainly impossible

After finishing lunch, Anliang, who was clearly stuffed, unfolded the recliner in the living room and dozed off while sitting in it. The yard gate had already been locked, and with neighbors around, there was no risk of theft during the day.

The culinary dishes prepared with space spring water can indeed attract customers, but initially, how should one entice customers when they are unaware? At the same time, Anliang is also contemplating what culinary creations should be made to please discerning customers

Although the spring water inside the small space has just been extracted through mental manipulation, extracting water is merely a simple operation. Anliang still needs to conduct thorough research on how to cultivate crops within the small space using mental intention

Anliang cannot afford to open a small restaurant, but Anliang can promote on the internet at https://m.hetushu.com, leveraging his two-story building to create an alternative, makeshift private dining establishment

Chinese cuisine is quite complicated, and Anliang is all alone, making it very time-consuming to prepare Chinese dishes. Moreover, the Chinese cuisine in Mist City belongs to the Sichuan style, and the flame temperature of Anliang's stove cannot meet the requirements of Sichuan cuisine

Plant three types of crops in both a small space and the real world, and simultaneously use spring water for irrigation. Observe the differences in the growth effects of the crops in the small space compared to the real world, as well as the comparison of the final products' taste.

The planting work in a small space can be fully realized through mental operation, according to the information from the dream. To be on the safe side, Anliang locked the front door of the living room on the first floor and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor, preparing to conduct an experiment in the bedroom

A private kitchen that is extremely informal, to the point of being a makeshift establishment that hardly qualifies as a private kitchen, how could it possibly serve Western cuisine? After all, the audience for Western cuisine is limited, and it is suited for an elegant environment with high-end consumption. How could it be placed in a dirty, chaotic urban village?

Anliang got out of bed, holding three packets of seeds in his right hand. In his mind, he envisioned transferring the three packets of seeds into a small space. In the next moment, the three packets of seeds disappeared from Anliang's hand and appeared inside the small space

Both Chinese and Western cuisines have been eliminated, and Anliang has chosen the famous hot pot of Mist City as the first step in his entrepreneurial journey

After more than ten minutes of busy preparation, a bowl of spicy noodles was completed. Anliang tasted it and found the flavor simply outstanding. In Anliang's impression, this bowl of noodles, which lacked some condiments and was made with ordinary dry noodles, surpassed any memory of spicy noodles he had ever tasted.

An Liang, whose undershirt was soaked with sweat, did not eat immediately but chose to take a shower first. Otherwise, in the December weather, neglecting to deal with a sweaty undershirt could easily lead to catching a cold

If it weren't for the rice cooker having only cooked three bowls of rice, Anliang vowed that he could still eat more! Truly!

However, we must express our gratitude to the modern information society and to the mindset of consumers in Xia Country. For consumers in Xia Country, whether they are high-end or low-end, the only aspect they truly value is the quality of the food itself

During this season, enjoying hot pot to warm the body is undoubtedly an excellent choice

With an average salary of over 1,000 yuan for the general public in 2008, the annual income is less than 20,000 yuan. To save 100,000 yuan, one would need to work for five years without any expenses, assuming the salary does not increase

An excellent businessperson is not a deity; it is impossible to simply make casual remarks and expect customers to come through the door. To attract customers, there must at least be a compelling reason for them to visit.

Planting in small spaces is very simple, entirely operated by intention, whereas in the real world, such benefits do not exist

Thus, one hundred thousand yuan may seem very little, but in reality, it is a substantial amount for an ordinary person. Fortunately, after Anliang acquired a small space, he was no longer an ordinary person

Perhaps some individuals may purchase out of curiosity, but there are numerous hidden drawbacks. Without even mentioning the source of the spring water in small spaces, the issues related to the packaging orders, and the sales channels, just the hygiene permits alone could completely eliminate Anliang.

With Anliang's intention, the seeds of tomatoes, spinach, and bok choy each occupied one square meter of land, with tomatoes slightly taking up more space. Then, Anliang, through his intention, absorbed 5 liters of spatial spring water and created a small rain within the confined space, nourishing the land of the small area

The land of the rooftop garden and the small courtyard, combined, exceeds one hundred square meters. According to previous terminology, over one hundred square meters would be equivalent to two mu.

After loosening the soil, Anliang finally remembered that the three packets of seeds were still on the bedside table. In order to 'transfer' the items into the small space, based on the information from the dream, Anliang needed to personally touch the corresponding items to pull them into the small space

Therefore, the direct sale of small space spring water is undoubtedly the worst option

In order to make money in a small space, Anliang has listed all the possibilities

Anliang is already heavily in debt, especially with Zhao Hongfen pressuring him for repayment, which has made Anliang determined to earn 100,000 yuan, or even more, within three months

First, selling spring water from a small space, which produces 20 liters of spring water each day, equivalent to 40 bottles of 500 mL mineral water. How much can such scarce spring water be sold for? What reasons justify its sale?

Secondly, utilizing small spaces and spring water to cultivate crops, which can be sold after harvest. Although it is currently unknown what good flavors the crops grown in small spaces and irrigated with spring water will have, based on the information from Anliang's dream, they should be quite good

Merely selling agricultural by-products still has its drawbacks

However, how can one earn 100,000 yuan in just three months? For some people, 100,000 yuan is merely the cost of a meal, a game of mahjong, or even the price to win a smile from a beloved one. Yet for the average person, 100,000 yuan is exceedingly difficult to achieve

The hot pot of Fog City is renowned worldwide. In Fog City, there are indeed very few locals who do not enjoy hot pot. Even in the height of summer, when temperatures exceed 30 degrees Celsius, the people of Fog City still relish eating hot pot while sweating profusely

Although there are small courtyards and rooftop gardens as a disguise, there is still a possibility of leaving loopholes. Therefore, selling agricultural and sideline products remains a poor plan

The small space remained lifeless, and Anliang began to imagine in his mind how to till the soil of the slightly more than three square meters of land. Initially, Anliang thought he needed to engage in a highly detailed visualization, including how to till the soil with each action and step. However, Anliang only had a rough idea, and the soil in the small space was tilled according to his thoughts.

The small space is Anliang's greatest reliance, and Anliang does not wish for any clues that might expose the small space to emerge. Therefore, Anliang must be extremely cautious.

At noon, Anliang exceptionally ate three bowls of rice

After excluding two options, Anliang thought of a feasible plan, which is to use spatial spring water for cooking and then sell the cooked products

Otherwise, Zhao Hongfen is likely to cause more trouble

Anliang's thoughts, within a small space, envision the opening of three packets of seeds. The three packets of seeds seem to be held by an invisible hand, suspended in the air. As Anliang's thoughts progress, the three packets are opened, and the tiny seeds also float in the air, resembling fine dust

After sleeping until nearly 4 PM, Anliang finally woke up. After more than an hour of digestion, his stomach felt somewhat better, and Anliang prepared to begin the second experiment

Anliang currently has a total asset of approximately 1,800,000 yuan, and no matter what, he cannot gather enough for the investment in a small restaurant, nor can he withstand the turmoil from the relevant authorities

The only issue that Anliang needs to address is how to establish the reputation of the private dining restaurant in its initial stage and how to attract customers to visit.

Indeed, Anliang has already tested that the taste of the spring water in a small space is quite good and seems to have a refreshing effect, but that is all there is to it. Can a bottle of 500 mL spring water really be sold for 100 yuan based on such reasoning?

Moreover, it is now December

This miraculous situation solidified Anliang's conviction that he must never demonstrate the act of putting things into a small space in front of a second person

It seems that the degree to which spatial spring water enhances flavor is quite significant, but how can one leverage spatial spring water to generate profit? Anliang lay on the bed in the second-floor bedroom, contemplating how to make money

After careful consideration by Anliang, the culinary dishes offered by the private kitchen have first excluded Chinese cuisine

After taking a hot shower to dispel the fatigue from labor, Anliang prepared to use spatial spring water to cook noodles, once again attempting to experience the enhancement of flavor that spatial spring water provides

Furthermore, Anliang does not have the funds to open a small restaurant

In the bedroom, Anliang lay on the bed, contemplating his emotions, and then, in his mind, he envisioned the situation in a small space. In the next moment, Anliang's thoughts manifested within the confines of that cramped space

As long as the corresponding food possesses sufficient uniqueness and has a taste that is appealing enough, they can overlook all other conditions. This includes remote dining locations, poor dining environments, and even the necessity of self-service, which can also be accepted

Anliang does not intend to breed; he wants to see just how marvelous a small space can be
