Xiaoxiao was even more surprised and happy that Shopkeeper Liu actually brought the contract along. She blinked, and Shopkeeper Liu blinked too. Then, she handed over a charcoal pen that Xiaoxiao was used to.
Xiaoxiao had the feeling that God was chasing after her to give her money, but she could not show it. She tried her best to take the pen calmly. After confirming that the contract was correct, she wrote her name seriously.
It was written in the contract that Ning Xiaoxiao would be the deputy shopkeeper of the Ruyi Clothing Shop from now on. Moreover, she was only in charge of strategizing and providing blueprints. She would get 30% of the profits from any goods that she thought of.
It was obvious that they were trying to get closer to her. Xiaoxiao was smart enough to tell. Seeing that she had accepted their kindness, Li Muyan and Shopkeeper Xu heaved a sigh of relief.
Presumably, He Ruhuan’s matter was completely over, right?
The moment she wrote her name on the contract, Xiaoxiao was not surprised to hear a voice in her mind—
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the shop-opening mission again. You have received 10,000 points! Your current total points are 53,800! Aiyaya, Master, Master, do you want to level up?]
Seeing that it was happy, Xiaoxiao agreed readily: [Let’s upgrade-]
The space cheered: [Beginning to level up! You have used 50,000 points. Your current balance is 4,500 points. Master, don’t worry! I will definitely be worthy of the points you spent!]
Oh my, the additional points must be the income of the milk tea and snack shop, “So It’s You”. It seemed that business was good.
[The time flow in the farmland has increased to five times, and the time flow in the ranch has increased to five times!]
[Congratulations to the host for activating the new function replication and exit positioning!]
[Congratulations to the host for activating the Exchange Mall!]
[Ding! Upgrade successful! The current level of the space is level-five! The next upgrade requires 100,000 points, but Master, don’t worry. I’m very useful! I’ll work hard to accumulate points with Master!]
[Ding… Congratulations, Master, on obtaining the upgrade reward seed. Do you want to plant it?]
Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but want to laugh. If space could transform into something, it would definitely be a cute little creature.
[Of course. It’s five times faster.]
Speaking of cute creatures…
After settling the contract, Xiaoxiao decided to show her sincerity. Hence, she did not return the charcoal pen. Instead, she asked Shopkeeper Liu for a piece of paper to start writing and drawing. Not long after, a cute little mouse appeared onto the paper. Next, it was a cow, tiger… Shopkeeper Liu knew at a glance that this was the second version of the zodiac.
They thought that this was all, but they saw Xiaoxiao pick up the zodiac drawing again and draw beside the cute creatures. Everyone could not help but be curious. They craned their necks to look. Finally, when the first blueprint was completed, Shopkeeper Liu took it and looked at it himself. Her expression was instantly filled with surprise and joy. She handed the blueprint to Boss and eagerly went to Xiaoxiao’s side.
Li Muyan looked at the rat, boy, and girl on the paper and could not help but admire Xiaoxiao’s ingenuity.
Under her pen, even the rats that were shouting during this festival could be so likable. “Who are these two children with big ears?”
Xiaoxiao replied without looking up, “You can understand it as a zodiac simulation.”
Next, everyone saw all kinds of men and women with animal characteristics. Every one of them had big eyes and cute bodies, making people unable to take their eyes off them.
After drawing half of it, Xiaoxiao pinched the bridge of her nose. Shopkeeper Liu immediately handed her a cup of wolfberry tea at the right time. “Take a break and drink a few mouthfuls. It’s good for your eyes.”
She smiled widely. “There’s no hurry. You’ll draw so much today. Don’t ruin your big black eyes. I’m not in a hurry at all!”
Only she knew if she was anxious. Anyway, Shopkeeper Xu, who was sitting beside her, was anxious and impatient. If not for the cousin, he would have been happy with Shopkeeper Liu!
He downed a glass of wine gloomily and heard Xiaoxiao ask, “Shopkeeper Xu, actually, I have a presumptuous request.”
Shopkeeper Xu immediately wasn’t sleepy anymore. His eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his ears were like antennas. “What?”
What did she mean by a presumptuous request? This was a friendship that came knocking on his door!
Xiaoxiao didn’t stand on ceremony either. Sometimes, she was too polite, so it wasn’t easy for the relationship between people to continue improving. “It’s like this. You also know that I opened a milk tea and snack shop. The kitchen of that shop can be used to make snacks, but it’s impossible to stir-fry vegetables in a pot. There are book shops around, so I’m embarrassed to let that oily smoke mix the book fragrance.
Moreover, the shop is only so big. There is no way the kitchen could be expanded.
“That’s why I want to borrow the small kitchen of the Fragrance Restaurant occasionally. Is it convenient for you? I won’t borrow much space. One stove and two pots will do.”
Shopkeeper Xu patted his chest and immediately agreed. He thought to himself, What kind of help is this? She’s clearly sending benefits to him.
When Little Girl Ning cooked, wouldn’t he have a chance to eat a few mouthfuls… pfft, just ask a few words of advice?
At that time, she might give him some pointers or sell him a few recipes. Wouldn’t the popularity of this restaurant soar?
Ning Fengnian and his wife had been daydreaming ever since they started talking about business and had given up on understanding. Now, they were the calmest people.
The information they could accept now was that their daughter was going to earn money again, and her daughter was a little too outstanding. They didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they kept feeling that the rich young master and the county magistrate’s wife seemed to be fighting to do business with Xiaoxiao.
Let’s put aside what we can’t figure out first. Ning Fengnian picked up a piece of fish for Madam Song, and Madam Song picked up a piece of meat for the head of their household. Both of them felt that it was not as delicious as their daughter’s cooking.
Xiaoxiao thought so too, but with her high EQ, she naturally wouldn’t tell the truth in front of others. She just suddenly started to worry about her brother and Little Big Brother Ah Yan. They were used to her feeding them every meal. Were they doing well in the academy?
In fact, it was not good.
Since they were going to school together, Shen Tianci, Rong Yan, and Ning Ansheng naturally had to move together.
Although the students of the academy were all wearing the same scholar’s uniform, the differences in their families could be seen from their temperaments and attitudes.
Some people were still arrogant and spouting nonsense even though they were not wearing gold and jade. Some people were hunched over and avoided eye contact even though they were dressed neatly. Some people were filled with aggression and had to ask for an explanation even after being bumped into. Some people were submissive and did not dare to look anyone in the eye.
Among all kinds of people, it was very easy to attract the attention of everyone when three outstanding youths suddenly came together.
The academy was not just a place to study. The young men from aristocratic families in their teens had already learned how to form cliques. When they saw the three of them, they immediately did not extend an olive branch, but asked from all sides to dig out their backgrounds.
Shen Tianci’s identity was not a secret. He was the son of the county magistrate and the grandson of the richest family in Jiangnan. He was naturally a familiar face in Xijiang County. There were more than one or two people who wanted to curry favor with him. However, this kid had a bad temper when facing unfamiliar people. He would offend whoever came forward..
