Chapter 19 Business

The final decision between Asa Xiao and Asaka is to start a rental storybook business. This is a real business for them, and the magazines, novels, storybooks, comic books, villain books, etc. at home have been flooded, because there are too many interesting things about childhood, and Light Smile and Light Feather are reluctant to throw it away, and the two inherited their mother's love of books, reading, and buying books, and the money in their hands is basically contributed to this. Now these can help them dig their first pot of gold.

Xiaoxiao remembers that in her previous life, she especially liked to linger in the small bookstalls on the street, where she could sit for a day, not drink water, not eat, and indulge in the sea of books. The price of reading books is also determined according to the new and old books and the thickness of the book, ranging from five cents to five cents, but generally more between one corner and two corners. The people who read the book are also different, all kinds of people, and it is a unique scenery in the local area.

After making a decision, Asaka and Asahiko went to the street to find a suitable place, and after a few rounds, they finally found a suitable location on Nanshan Road. "Sister, it's very good here, spacious, ventilated and shaded, not backlit." "It's good, the flow of people is okay, and there is a public toilet over there. And this road happens to be the intersection of Renmin Road and Shiyang Road, and there are residential areas here, which is really a good place. ”

With a light smile, he panted and moved a few stones of different sizes back, and placed them one by one in the place he had just seen.

"Little sister, what are you doing here?" Asa Yu was curious, and he didn't know what kind of whimsy he had in mind.

"Make a mark. Sister, you don't know this? He replied with a light smile as he laid the stone. If you put the stone here, when others come to see it, they will know that there is a lord's land, and they will automatically get out of the way. "I also want to thank the simple thinking and style of the people now.

"I don't even know about it. Where are the stones, I'll help you move them. Under the guidance of a light smile, Asa Yu ran to carry stones.

The two of them occupied a large position, and they were very satisfied with the fruits of their own labor. They smiled at each other and walked hand in hand towards their way home. On the way back, Xiaoxiao took her sister to a supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a pack of milk powder, two taels of black tea and half a catty of sugar, which cost a total of four yuan triangle and two cents. Originally, I didn't want to buy white sugar, and I wanted to use saccharin instead, but then I thought about it after all, so I gritted my teeth and bought it in order to grit my teeth in the future.

Qianyu looked at Qianxiao strangely and bought this and that, but she didn't ask a word. She knows that since her parents divorced, this sister has been different, a little mysterious, sometimes smart and sometimes confused, sometimes childlike and sometimes adult-tempered. But there is one thing, that is, no matter what Xiaoxiao does, it is for this family, and I hope this family is good.

Asa Yu knew that Asa Xiao would definitely tell him, it was only a matter of time.

The two of them went home and found the cardboard boxes when they moved, and sorted out the books into two large cardboard boxes. Looking at the bulky cardboard box in front of them, the two of them were dumbfounded. "Laugh, we seem to have forgotten the most important thing." "Hehehe, I know that too."

"We can't move one big box, let alone two. What now, do you just give up? I'm not reconciled. Asa Yu simply took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Who said that I want to move it myself, tomorrow I will call my uncle to help, he has a bicycle and can put things. Why don't we ask the school cafeteria to borrow a tricycle and push it ourselves? "Light smile is still inclined to the little uncle, his family has just come to the school, and the people in the cafeteria are not very familiar, and it may not be face-saving to borrow things.

Qian Yu thought about it for a long time, and after comparing all aspects, he said, "It's still a little uncle." It's okay for your relatives to talk. ”

After deciding on the candidate, Xiaoxiao started another small business of his own - milk tea. Yes, Xiaoxiao decided to sell milk tea by the way when he decided to open a small bookstall. In summer, you have to drink water no matter what, and ordinary fruit tea stirred with powdered sugar is all over the street, and there is no special feature. Small bookstalls not only require a wide variety of books, but also novel content. The ancillary industry should also be prominent enough to attract people and retain customers.

Milk tea is the best choice. It is not cumbersome, there are no special requested tools, and it can be sold all year round. The most important point is that it is popular for all ages in later generations, and of course, light smile is only the simplest one prepared now.

"Sister, you help me watch the fire, the water is boiling, put the tea leaves into the gauze bag I sewed and then throw it into the water to boil for about ten minutes, and when the juice turns red and thick, you take the tea aside to cool, you boil me another pot of water on this fire, and I will come back and use it."

"Why are you going?"

"Go to the well and get a bucket of water." Smiled and shook the bucket in his hand.

"Isn't there running water at home? You're still running all the way to fetch well water? Asa Yu was puzzled.

"Mountain people have their own uses." Leaving an echo all the way, the light smile has disappeared.

When Qianxiao came back with a bucket full of water, Qianyu had already done what Qianxiao had told him to do properly. "Sister, you take out the tea bag, put the milk powder into one-third, add two tablespoons of sugar, and stir well."

"Sister, what are you going to do here?" Asa Yu still couldn't help but be curious.

"Milk tea." He replied with a light smile. "I'm going to take it to the small bookstall tomorrow and sell it together. I'll do it later, sister, you can taste it first and see how it tastes. ”

"Good. But what is milk tea? Tea? ”

"No, it's supposed to be a drink, but it's more accurate to call it a drink." Xiaoxiao found all the large teapots with lids that were to be filled with milk tea at home, cleaned them inside and out, put them aside to dry, and found a few glasses to continue cleaning. "I'll try to sell it first, if it sells well, there are still many flavors that can be added."

"So? Are you confident that someone will buy it? And how much are you going to sell a cup? Asa Yu asked curiously as he stirred. The cost of this milk tea is not low, and I am a little worried. ”

"It's okay sister, I'll try this time, if it doesn't work, let's think about it again. You're almost there, sister, pour a glass and taste it. ”

"Okay." Qian Yu poured a cup by himself, looking at the luster of white jade shining from the transparent glass; Smell it, the thick milk fragrance is mixed with a wisp of tea's unique refreshing fragrance; Take a bite, it is thick, fragrant and sweet, and has both a sweet aftertaste.

Light smile couldn't wait for Asa Yu's answer for a long time, and was a little puzzled. "Sister, why don't you speak, how does it taste? Can you get it? ”

Qianyu carefully recalled the tenderness and mellowness he felt between his lips and teeth from the first sip of milk tea when he drank milk tea. After swallowing, my stomach was warm, and there was a kind of lazy warmth of the spring and March sun shining on my body. "I can't answer your question, I can't tell you how I feel, I can only send you four words: endless aftertaste."

"Hehehe......" Light smile was a little fluttering by Asa Yu's answer.

"Sister, I asked someone yesterday about the price of water in other people's small bookstalls, boiled water is five cents, boiled water with saccharin is one dime, and orange juice is two dime. I want to set a cup of milk tea, will it be too expensive? I didn't count it. ”

"Pentagon, according to this taste, it is not expensive, but you have not tasted it, you don't know what it tastes like, you may think it is expensive, and children may not bring so much money."

"yes, I want to think about it." Laughing and racking his brains. "I thought of a good idea, sister. Tomorrow we will give the first 10 customers who come to the small bookstall a little free tasting, and then we will sell the cups by size, and we can also pour one-third of the small cup for the children who have no money, and collect three cents for the small cup and five cents for the big cup. This can not only increase the flow of customers, but also open up the fame of milk tea. ”

"That's a good idea. Let's hurry up and sort out the things we will bring tomorrow, and hope that the opening will be smooth. ”

Xiaoxiao and Qianyu sorted out their things, put the milk tea in the well water to freeze, and wrote down the precautions that might happen tomorrow. Thinking that a better life is beckoning, the light smile and the face of the light feather are satisfied, happy smiles.
