Chapter 236: His Lucky Star
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
A man and a woman alone was not good for her reputation. What was wrong with Yun Er and the rest?
Xiaoxiao looked at his slightly messy hairstyle and clothes that were not as flat as usual. She packed up her pen and paper. “I have something serious to talk to you about.” She stretched out her hand in front of Rong Yan and opened her palm. A small bamboo tube rolled in her palm.
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows and Xiaoxiao said, “I found this when I was stuffing ginseng slices into Han ding’s mouth. It was a little in the way, so I took it away. Fortunately, I didn’t throw it away.”
-I don’t know who to give it to either. I might as well wait for you to wake up.
Here, take it.”
The small bamboo tube was very light, yet heavy. The weight was light, but its meaning was heavy.
Rong Yan realized that both Han Qing and this bamboo tube were found because of Xiaoxiao. She was probably his lucky star, right?
His lucky star expressed that she was hungry. Rong Yan blushed and ate something with her.
He naturally had to stay in the Shen Residence to recuperate while he was injured. He could not let Doctor Gongsun run back and forth.
When the two of them went out of the house, the guards had strange expressions. Rong Yan only remembered to ask after Xiaoxiao left, “How long has she been in?”
Yun Er stammered, “H-half an hour…” So what were you doing inside for such a long time! Miss Ning is still young, Master, you’re still injured!
Rong Yan felt that thinking about what the guards were thinking was not conducive to his recovery, so he changed the topic and asked about the Shen Residence’s attitude towards him.
Yun Er was not a scheming person. He said loudly, “Everyone knows that you have great foresight and hid the account book with Miss Ning long ago. They all feel regret and guilt for blaming you!”
Rong Yan paused. ‘Who said that?”
County Magistrate Shen, who happened to walk in, patted his chest. I did.
But the next moment, he sighed and said, “But it was Little Girl Ning who asked for it.”
“Your Highness has good taste. Little Girl Ning is a good girl.
Xiaoxiao, who had left Rong Yan’s side, did not go home directly. She was mysteriously pulled into the carriage by Mrs. Shen. When they arrived at the most prosperous part of the county, Xiaoxiao quickly reacted. “Is the shop ready?”
Mrs. Shen pouted. “Can you not guess so accurately? I wanted to give you a surprise.”
Mrs. Shen’s actions were indeed extraordinary. Back then, Xiaoxiao had simply explained a concept. Mrs. Shen had thought about it these days and directly released a PLUS version. Xiaoxiao was worried that she would be too aggressive. Looking at the dazzling array of porcelain decorations, she expressed that she had invested too much.
However, Mrs. Shen said lightly, “I always thought that it would occupy an area in the storeroom. Now, I can use it.”
Xiaoxiao decided to hate the rich for three minutes.
Mrs Shen’s wealth was vividly displayed in the elegant abode. Even Xiaoxiao, who had seen many good things, could not find anything wrong with it. Mrs. Shen was swift and decisive, even choosing the opening date.
Of course, Xiaoxiao had no objections. The earlier the elegant abode opened, the faster her points would increase. And, Little Space wouldn’t continue to cry about the 20,000 points.
After going through the rules, Xiaoxiao asked “serious matters”, “How are the people who ate the green prawns?”
Mrs. Shen shook her head. “Don’t worry, they’re all fine. They didn’t even have
a stomachache. They’re fine.”
“Moreover, after you left the kitchen yesterday, that little genius doctor also went over and confirmed that the green prawns are not poisonous and are completely edible.”
Xiaoxiao was in a hurry to tell her parents and brother this good news. She greeted Mrs. Shen and returned to the shop.
Ning Fengnian and his wife were not around today. A few days ago, half of the Ning Family’s courtyard was destroyed in the fire. The Ning Family thought about it and decided to put the plan of building a new house on the agenda.
The villagers who agreed to help them build the house, had long agreed. They only needed to inform them to start work on the spot. According to their original plan, the new courtyard would be built around the old courtyard. If it did not rain, they could still live in the old courtyard.
However, Rong Yan couldn’t bear for Xiaoxiao to suffer, so he generously lent his house to them when he heard about this.
He had not considered saving money when he built the house back then, so although he had already deliberately suppressed it and tried to keep a low profile, there were still many empty rooms at home. Xiaoxiao decided to thin carefully about how to persuade her parents to move over tonight.
Today, Second Brother and Yun San were in the shop. Because they did not have enough manpower, Xiaoxiao simply stopped dine-in and only sold takeout. Hence, even though there were only the two of them, the shop was still busy and orderly.
Ever since she understood that Little Big Brother’s identity was extraordinary and saw the abilities of the Yun Guards, Xiaoxiao felt that they should not lower themselves to her small shop. If Little Big Brother Ah Yan was worried no matter what, it would be enough to let the Yun Guards take turns to send one person to hold the fort.
With their skills, it was not a problem for them to fight against 10 people alone. After Xiaoxiao’s “So It’s You” stood firm, there were more shops that followed her. However, the milk tea they made was incongruous and hard to swallow. Only some greedy people went to patronize them.
Seeing that this shop was doing well, the greedy people sent people to sneak in and learn.
However, who were the Yun Guards? They could investigate people thoroughly in minutes. How could they let them succeed?
Before Xiaoxiao came, they had just dissuaded a man who kept saying that he wanted to apply for a job as a shop assistant. Ning Anhui rubbed his wrist. “I didn’t expect our shop to be so popular.”
From the day before yesterday, the most common words the people of Jiang County said when they met were probably “Have you eaten?” ‘What are you busy with?” Now, because of Xiaoxiao’s shop, it had become “Have you drunk milk tea today?” “Did you have the caramel or red beans flavor?”
On the streets, one could often see people drinking from bamboo cups as they walked.
Xiaoxiao touched her chin. Hehehe, this feeling of becoming a food trend was a little satisfying.
Ning Anhui could tell at a glance that his sister was about to be arrogant. He coughed and asked, “Why don’t we really hire a shop assistant?” However, after saying this suggestion, Ning Anhui couldn’t help but frown again. “But what if the person has ulterior motives and has the intention of stealing our secrets?”
Xiaoxiao touched her chin and thought of a good idea based on the current situation.
In the afternoon, she wrote and edited in her room for a long time. She ran out and pasted a piece of paper. On it were the words “Sincerely recruiting members” and a simple explanation.
After hearing her explanation, Ning Anhui’s expression changed drastically. “Sister, are you planning to teach this skill to someone else?”
They had only heard that chefs hid their skills and wanted to make things difficult for their disciples. How could their younger sister simply impart skills like this?
Xiaoxiao smiled and comforted Second Brother. “It’s not a troublesome technique to begin with. If they can’t learn it today, they can learn it tomorrow. In a few months, smart people will be able to develop it.
Ning Anhui, who had learned how to make milk tea, knew that she was telling the truth. However, he felt uncomfortable. He just couldn’t get rid of his bitter expression and told his brother about this at night.
Unexpectedly, Big Brother was quite supportive. “It’s not easy to keep the secret recipe to begin with. I think you’re under a lot of pressure these days. Even a lot of your hair has fallen off. Sister’s method is more beneficial to our family and has fewer drawbacks..”
