Chapter 41: Food and Drink Business on September 9

On the way, Ji Shumiao bought some braised pork elbows and cold vegetarian dishes. When he arrived at the fruit shop, he saw that the couple was drinking rice porridge with pickled radish.

"Humph!" Ji Shumiao put the plastic bag of pork elbow and vegetables next to the small bowl of kimchi and said angrily, "What did you promise me? You promised me last time that you would eat well! You are lying to children!"

"Isn't it because business is so good that you didn't have time to eat?" Tang Zhilong knew she was pretending to be angry, so he admitted his mistake, "Uncle was wrong, I will make you roast goose tonight."

Lin Shan freed up one hand and pulled Ji Shumiao over with a smile: "Seeing Miaomiao, Auntie is happier than eating dragon meat."

Ji Shulang greeted the two: "Hello, Uncle Tang and Aunt Lin, I am Ji Shulang."

"Shulang!" Tang Zhilong said in surprise, "You've grown up so much. I held you in my arms when you were a kid!"

——Classics will last forever!

Tang Zhilong brought small plastic stools for them to sit on. Ji Shumiao's stool was pink and had rabbit ears - the couple bought it specially for her.

Ji Shumiao supervised the two of them eating and complained unhappily, "Brother and his friends have been in Beijing for half a month. They asked you to come over for dinner several times, but you didn't come."

"I really can't leave." Lin Shan fed her a piece of pork elbow in soy sauce. "Business is so good. Thanks to Miaomiao, uncle and aunt have made a lot of money in the past month or so. Or you said it yourself, 'Making money is the most important thing.' Miaomiao can understand that, right?"

Even if they make several hundred yuan a day, no one would be willing to give it up.

"Since your sister Miaomiao is here, your Aunt Lin can't see anyone else. Don't be surprised." Tang Zhilong invited Ji Shulang to eat pork elbow, but Ji Shulang declined, saying that he had already eaten lunch and was not hungry.

Tang Zhilong smiled and said, "After we finish this busy period, we will have dinner together. Uncle and aunt will treat us."

"There's no rush. We'll be in Beijing in the future." Ji Shulang had heard Qin Yun talk about the couple, and they could understand their feelings for Ji Shumiao.

Ji Shumiao disagreed, "After this period of work, there is still the next period of work!"

Tang Zhilong: "There won't be a downturn. When the weather gets cooler, shaved ice and fruit tea won't sell well."

"The weather is getting cooler, so of course we sell hot drinks." Ji Shumiao wrinkled his nose.

A customer visited the fruit shop at this time. He looked at the fruits in the freezer and the varieties and prices written on the blackboard. Before the couple put down their bowls, Ji Shumiao greeted them first: "What would you like to eat, two beautiful sisters? We have yogurt fruit salad, fruit shaved ice, and fruit ice jelly. You can specify the fruit for these. We also have colorful fruit tea and peach oolong tea."

"Two orders of watermelon shaved ice, both large."

The freezer was big and deep, and Ji Shumiao couldn't reach the shovel to scoop the smoothie, so Ji Shulang picked up the shovel and scooped two bowls of smoothie for her.

Ji Shumiao poured syrup on it, scooped up plenty of watermelon cubes, and added some small glutinous rice balls, taro balls, and pearls.

Ji Shumiao asked: "Do you want raisins, crushed hawthorn, crushed peanuts, and sesame seeds?"

"One doesn't want peanuts, and the other doesn't want sesame seeds."

"Okay~" Ji Shumiao put the side dishes in place as the two had requested, while Ji Shulang helped pack them.

After seeing off the guests, Ji Shumiao handed the money to Lin Shan: "Here, I earned it!"

Lin Shan smiled so much that her eyes curved, and took it readily. The couple then praised the brother and sister.

Ji Shumiao pulled Ji Shulang to make four more bowls of shaved ice. Since it was made by Ji Shumiao, the couple wanted to eat it. The four of them sat in the fruit shop and talked while eating the shaved ice.

Ji Shumiao talked about what he saw and heard during his trip to Shanghai, especially how booming the various coffee shops and milk tea shops were.

Xingjiu Ke also has a store in Beijing. Tang Zhilong and Lin Shan have heard of it and know that it is "high-end", but they were shocked when they heard the price - a large serving of watermelon shaved ice is only seven yuan, and they can still make a lot of money with this.

"Our fruits are fresh and we use good tea. We can improve the quality and lower the price!" Ji Shumiao snapped his fingers, "Win them!"

Lin Shan backed out: "No way, your Uncle Tang and I would never do that."

Ji Shumiao asked: "Have you ever made fruit tea or shaved ice before?"

"Shaved ice and fruit tea are simple, you can learn them in no time."

Ji Shumiao nodded: "Coffee and milk tea are also simple, and you can learn them in no time."

The couple was still a little hesitant.

Tang Zhilong: "How about we try to learn it? Sell some milk tea in the store or something."

"The fruit shop doesn't look like a fruit shop, and the milk tea shop doesn't look like a milk tea shop." Ji Shumiao came over, hugged Lin Shan's arm and bewitched: "Are there more young people buying these? Why don't we open a milk tea shop near the university?"

Lin Shan burst out laughing: "You little money-grubber, how old are you? You just want to open a store? This is in Beijing. How can your uncle and aunt have enough money to open a store?"

"I have money, let's be partners and split the profits 50-50!"

Tang Zhilong teased her: "Are your parents rich, or are you rich?"

"We all have money, uncle and aunt also have money, we will all be rich in the future." Ji Shumiao bumped into Ji Shulang, "Brother, right?"

Ji Shulang: "Yes, our family's is not a little money-grubber, but a little god of wealth, who can attract wealth."

Seeing the couple start to sway, Ji Shumiao brought a small stool and sat next to Tang Zhilong: "School starts tomorrow, uncle can pack some shaved ice, fruit tea, etc. and sell them near middle schools and universities to see if they are popular."

"Okay, this is a good idea. Uncle will definitely listen to you."

Ji Shumiao whispered, "Also, I heard that this place will be demolished after the Chinese New Year, so uncle and aunt should make plans early."

Lin Shan frowned: "Who told you that?"

"Lu Yong and uncle."

The brother and sister stayed here for dinner in the evening. A few days ago, Lin Shan’s relatives returned to their hometown and brought them three meat geese, which were raised on the terrace.

Tang Zhilong killed two, braised one in the evening and let the brother and sister take the other home.

After dinner, Ji Shumiao made a few cups of baked milk, which everyone found delicious.

Ji Shumiao smiled arrogantly: "That's right, I'm not saying that, with my recipe, there is no better tasting milk tea yet!"

"You can also add red dates, red beans, and matcha to make different flavors. You can also add milk cap, butter, and chopped nuts. Milk tea actually has only those ingredients, but with different combinations and proportions, you can make a lot of products."

Having achieved his goal of further brainwashing the couple, Ji Shumiao returned home contentedly.

"We are back~"

Grandma, mom, and aunt were all there, the three of them sitting at the dining table downstairs, looking distressed.

Ji Shulang put the goose he brought home on the dining table: "Uncle Tang and Aunt Lin gave it to me."

Grandma opened the bag and took a look: "It's obvious that these geese are grain-fed. The meat is of good quality. Don't keep it in the refrigerator for too long, otherwise it will be wasted."

My aunt also took a look and said: "I will make it tomorrow, half for braised food and half for stewed food."

Grandma joked, "It's a pity that those three aren't at home, so we don't have a good time."

"Mom, why are you unhappy?" Ji Shumiao asked Qin Rong.

Qin Rong sighed, "The store next to ours opened today. It's a Chinese fast food restaurant that serves noodles, sliced ​​noodles, stir-fried vegetables, fried rice, and rice with toppings. The owner's cooking skills are incredible, and the prices are affordable. Mom thinks his family will like their fast food more."

Their store is a bit too big for a snack bar. Qin Rong's skills are good enough for a snack stall, but it's still a bit difficult to open a store. Now that Zhuyu is around, I'm afraid it's not going to work.

Ji Shumiao held up his chin and thought, the store was surrounded by residential areas, so it was not suitable to be a milk tea shop, but it would be good to sell snacks and home-cooked meals.

"Alas - I talked to your father about this on the phone today. I don't know whether I should open the store or not. The store will appreciate in value if it is left vacant. If I open the store, I will lose money."

Ji Shumiao: "Of course it's a loss, and I can even lose all my family assets."

Qin Rong couldn't help laughing: "I talked to your father on the phone today, and he said the same thing. You two are really alike."

Qin Rong was just talking. Now everything was ready for the snack bar except opening. This final step had to be taken.

After running a stall for several years, Qin Rong's obsession is to own a snack bar.
