Chapter 214 - 214: The Best Xiaoxiao
County Magistrate Shen was confused. He thought that His Highness would stand up for the Ning Family when he saw that he was on good terms with the Ning Family. Why did he let him go?
Rong Yan said, “Ning Youcai seems to be quite addicted to gambling? I heard that he owes the casino a lot of money.”
County Magistrate Shen suddenly realized that the old residence would never be peaceful again if Ning Youcai went back at this critical moment. His Highness was not satisfied with punishing Ning Youcai alone. He wanted the entire old residence to be in chaos.
“What did they do to anger Your Highness?”
He told County Magistrate Shen what he could. “Lord Shen, they deserve it.”
County Magistrate Shen agreed. What a cruel family! If Little Girl Ning didn’t want to make her family sad, he would have caught them all and beaten them up. Teacher didn’t intend to teach them to be rigid nerds, so he was very
flexible.
“In that case, I’ll add fuel to the fire. I must make this Ning Fengcai return with
hatred.”
Little Girl Ning was such a good girl. She was cute, had a likable personality, and most importantly, her culinary skills were peerless. Everyone would dote on her like a treasure. However, those idiots in the old residence were clearly lazy but they made the most diligent person in the family disappointed. They clearly loved money, but they offended the little God of Fortune, who was the most capable of earning money in the family. They had good cards, but they were ruined by themselves.
In prison, Second Uncle Ning, who had finally recovered from his injuries, actually felt a strange sense of anticipation when he found out that he was about to be interrogated. He would rather the county magistrate send him away early. He would mine and serve in the army when he needed to, but never lock him up with these vicious fellows again.
However, before he could smile, one of the fierce men, who was eating well, suddenly smashed his rice bowl and kicked him.
Second Uncle Ning was dumbfounded. He held his back, which was in so much pain that it was about to twitch. “How did I offend you?”
The burly man wiped his mouth. “I’m in a bad mood. What’s wrong with beating you up?”
Second Uncle Ning was about to go crazy. “Are you using me as a punching bag?”
The burly man chuckled. “So what? If you’re not convinced, resist.”
Amidst the pain, Second Uncle Ning couldn’t help but recall some scenes-did Ning Xiaoxiao feel the same when he pulled her hair and hit her back then? Could this be retribution?
The bailiff, who had been waiting patiently, sighed when he saw his injuries. -Aiyo, how did it end up like this? We aren’t in the mood to ask questions.
Those who don’t know might think that our county magistrate is abusing his authority. Alright, recuperate first. We’ll interrogate you after you recover.” Second Uncle Ning was almost in despair. They had said the same thing last time!
Under Second Uncle Ning’s helpless and painful wait, the academy’s semester finally started. At the same time, this was also the opening day of Xiaoxiao’s milk tea and snack shop, “So It’s You”.
The old residence and the second branch had stopped, so no annoying people would appear at the door. Xiaoxiao, Rong Yan, and her family opened the door of the shop and lit firecrackers. Amidst the joyous crackling, she and Rong Yan, as the two bosses of the shop, grabbed the red silk on the plaque on both sides.
With a splash, the four flowery words “So It’s You”, written by Ning Ansheng personally and carefully carved by a craftsman, were instantly displayed in the eyes of the onlookers. They were so rare that they surpassed the dragon and lion dance outside.
“What are these words? They look strange and a little good-looking.”
“I’ve seen this shop tidied up for a long time. I don’t know what it’s selling.” “I thought it was still a bookstore, but it doesn’t seem to be the case today?” Hearing the lively discussion outside, Xiaoxiao gave her second brother a look.
The latter took a deep breath to calm his panicked heartbeat and said loudly, “Our ‘So It’s You’s’ refreshment shop is open today. It sells milk tea and snacks that are freshly made everyday. Anyone who enters with a discount stick will pay half the price. There’s no need to be anxious if you don’t have a stick. From now on until today, all the goods will be 20% off.”
-In addition,” he took a cup of milk tea with a bamboo tube, “we will try a portion of all food ourselves before selling it to ensure that the food is clean and hygienic. The cutlery will also be washed and blanched in boiling water. You can also bring your own tea set…”
The first sentence might have been a little stuttering, but towards the end, Ning Anhui felt that he was getting calmer and calmer, especially after his sister smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.
It turned out that it was not that difficult to be a shopkeeper.
Yun Yi and a few other staff members were dressed in custom-made staff uniforms. They were all good-looking and had excellent temperaments. When they stood in such a dignified manner, they immediately attracted many young ladies who were watching. They also frightened a few hooligans who did not want to cause trouble.
“Second… Anhui, I’ll warm up the place for you!” Amidst the bustle, someone pushed in from outside the crowd with a gift box. Everyone took a closer look and someone immediately revealed the identity of the person. “Isn’t this the young master of the county magistrate’s family? Does he know this shopkeeper?”
The hooligans, who were still having crooked thoughts, instantly became obedient. Even the other shopkeepers who had come to watch the show could not help but reevaluate this refreshment shop in their hearts.
It was Shen Tianci. Since he gave her face, Xiaoxiao naturally had to return the favor. She said seriously, “The Mianmian Cake and caramel milk tea that Young Master Shen ordered yesterday are ready. Do you want to eat in the shop or take them away?”
Shen Tianci looked at the sky. He had to report to the academy quickly later, so he could only choose reluctantly. “I’ll drink the milk tea now and take away the snacks.”
Under the curious gazes of the other onlookers, Ning Anhui skillfully took out a refreshing-looking teacup from the cupboard. He scooped a ladleful of tea from the large and deep iron pot and placed it on the tray for Yun Yi to carry away.
Shen Tianci did not go in. He took the teacup and leaned against the door to enjoy it.
To be honest, the moment the iron pot was opened, the commoners at the door felt that they could hear the sound of the people around them swallowing. Looking at Young Master Shen’s enjoyable expression and smelling the fragrance of tea and milk brought by the wind, they were instantly curious. They wanted to drink it again.
Five copper coins a cup was actually not expensive. Why not try it? It was even 20% off today. It only cost four copper coins.
Xiaoxiao gave him a look and Second Brother understood. He turned around and took out the Taro Cake Roll that Xiaoxiao had made early in the morning. “The first and tooth customers who enter the shop today can get the free Taro Cake Roll. Here, Young Master Shen, please try it!”
Shen Tianci was really carefree. He took it and took a sip. As the milky sweet fragrance overflowed, he narrowed his eyes and became their live advertisement. “Delicious!”
Oh my god, I can’t take it anymore!
The crowd stopped watching and rushed into the shop.
Ning Fengnian and his wife, as well as the guards who were waiting with their arms crossed, were instantly so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. This one said, “Dear customer, please slow down. Be careful not to bump into anyone.”
The other one said, “I’m sorry, dear customer. There aren’t many seats in the shop. It’s already full. Do you want to wait a moment or take it out? In order to show our sincerity, if you choose to bring it out, we can also consider it a half-price deal for you.”
Looking at this lively scene, Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows at her brother and parents, asking for praise. The latter were really proud. “Our Xiaoxiao is indeed the best Xiaoxiao..”
