Chapter 179 New Store Opening
Several days had passed and Zhao Qiqi was a little worried about Gu Xiaohua and the others. Although there were many people, they were all inexperienced. Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju and the others had all learned how to serve their masters, and it was already good enough that they could take charge of making milk tea and welcoming customers in the milk tea shop.
Gu Xiaohua is young, has learned some characters, and has a certain ability to record things, but in terms of interpersonal skills, she needs Ye Shuixian to supplement. In addition, Xiaohua has a low self-esteem due to past events, while Ye Shuixian is an outgoing person. The two complement each other, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
At this time, Gu Yansui and Gu Dazhu were driving the cart in front. If Gu Dazhu wanted to work in the county, he had to take on the task of driving the cart. Gu Yansui was teaching him at the moment.
Both of them had someone they cared about in their hearts, and their whips were raised high.
"Uncle mother!"
Seeing that Gu Xiaohua and Ye Shuixian both looked happy, Zhao Qiqi guessed that nothing had happened during this period of time.
"Aunt, I thought you had a lot of things to do, so I learned how to keep accounts these days. You can take a look at it. If it's okay, I can do it in the future. My sister-in-law will also be in charge, so you can focus on other things."
If other people hear these words, it will sound like a provocation, as if they are trying to replace someone else.
Zhao Qiqi was slightly startled, then she laughed. "Xiaohua, you are really thoughtful." She took the account book and looked through it carefully. The accounts were clear and well-organized, and every income and expenditure was recorded in great detail.
Ye Shuixian also smiled shyly. "Xiaohua has indeed made a lot of progress in the past few days. I haven't done anything these days, just taking care of things that others haven't considered. Of course, we are all for the good of the shop, and business will definitely become more and more prosperous."
Gu Xiaohua didn't notice at all that Ye Shuixian's main point was to highlight herself. She mentioned Gu Xiaohua just to avoid being too deliberate. She lowered her head a little embarrassedly, her cheeks slightly red, "It's all because of my aunt and sister-in-law who taught me well."
Gu Yansui and Gu Dazhu also came over at this time. Hearing their conversation, Gu Yansui smiled and said, "Xiaohua is becoming more and more capable. Our family will definitely live better and better."
Gu Dazhu also nodded repeatedly, his wife was really capable.
"Oh, right! Aunt, there was a person who said her name was something..." Gu Xiaohua scratched her head, having forgotten a little bit, but it was a very nice name after all, much better than her own name.
"Shen Shihui!" Ye Narcissus was somewhat smug that she had remembered that man's name.
She took over the conversation directly: "Aunt, that person is called Shen Shihui. She is now staying at the Yunlai Inn, not far from this street. She has been coming here from time to time in the past few days and seems to be very anxious. If you know her, you might as well go there. It must be some urgent matter."
When Zhao Qiqi heard that it was Shen Shihui, she also became interested and curious about what she wanted to talk to her about. As for the person on the opposite side who wanted to challenge them, she would find out after she came back.
"You guys go back first. I'll go to Yunlai Inn to check it out."
After a few minutes' walk, they arrived. Zhao Qiqi came to the counter and asked, "Excuse me, shopkeeper, is there a Miss Shen here?"
"No."
Zhao Qiqi was confused and puzzled. Ye Shuixian was a thoughtful person and he probably wouldn't remember it wrong. So, what happened?
It was lunch time. Shen Shihui's maid Mo'er came back with the food and saw Zhao Qiqi at first sight.
"Mrs. Zhao! Our young lady has been waiting for you for a long time. Are you here to see our young lady? Please follow me."
"what happened?"
Zhao Qiqi probably guessed something.
"The young lady, her aunt, and her cousin all came here to cause trouble. Perhaps they have nowhere to vent their anger. In the town, they dared not do anything because of the master and mistress. But now that they are here, they have nothing to fear."
Shen Shihui looked at Zhao Qiqi with some surprise: "Hello, Madam Zhao. I thought it would take some time for you to come back, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
"Shi Hui, just call me Auntie. You must have something important to tell me, right?"
"Aunt, my grandfather lives in a remote corner and only wants to make good use of the little land in front of him, but I want to open a restaurant in the county. I know you have many novel styles, so I want to cooperate with you. Originally, Shi Hui should have come to ask for cooperation, but you came to me instead."
Shen Shihui said this, so this restaurant has nothing to do with the He family? Then where did her money come from?
Shen Shihui seemed to see the doubt in her heart and said, "Don't worry, auntie, I have prepared the money a long time ago. In fact, I came back with my mother this time to recognize my relatives. I want to make a career. I have already studied economics and management in Penglai Pavilion before. Now is a good time to try it out. If you are not satisfied, just take back the restaurant and treat it as a loss."
She was somewhat surprised at Shen Shihui's courage and determination. With just two casual words, he built a restaurant.
"Shi Hui, do you trust me so much?"
"Yes, having seen Aunt's abilities and ideas, Shi Hui admires her very much, and I also trust Aunt that she won't let me lose money."
The two discussed the address, name, decoration, etc. of the restaurant, and Zhao Qiqi went back first. As for the recipe, it would be delivered after some time.
Originally, the two agreed on a 4:6 split, but Zhao Qiqi provided some barbecue ingredients and some spices such as cardamom, pepper, white cardamom, etc., so the two of them split it 50:50. These seasonings are their secret recipe that distinguishes them from other restaurants.
Zhao Qiqi returned to the shop and asked Gu Xiaohua about the milk tea shop opposite.
"Aunt, I went to inquire about it. The owner of the house opposite is named He. The promotion lasted only one day and then stopped. Maybe they saw that we ignored it and just wanted to get rid of it. Even the pearls were soft and not as delicious as ours. This way, customers know that our milk tea is delicious."
"So there has been no sound in the past few days?"
Zhao Qiqi had just finished speaking when the sound of gongs and drums came from the door. There were also people singing and it was very lively. Listening from inside the shop, one could feel that there were quite a few people gathered there.
Zhao Qiqi and Gu Xiaohua looked at each other and went out to take a look.
"The new store is opening. A few days ago, we had a buy one get one free deal on milk tea. Today, we have invited Miss Yu Rui, the top star of the Hong Kong Coliseum, to perform a dance for everyone. After the dance, our Longteng Building will be officially open! Everyone is welcome to come in and taste it!"
As Yu Rui danced gracefully, the red silk waved and her skirt swayed, the scene became more and more lively.
"What does this mean? A restaurant opened and invited prostitutes from a brothel to dance. I don't know what they were thinking. It's really immoral."
