Chapter 101: If you can’t go any further, quit completely

The next morning, the two continued to get up early to practice standing meditation.

Su Yuchen's posture was already quite standard, but he couldn't maintain it for long, so the training was divided into several groups. Each time he stood for less than three minutes, then rested for five minutes before continuing to stand.

Zhao Xiaojing had some basic skills, and she had also used systemic body-strengthening agents, so she could stand for ten minutes each time, then rest for five minutes, repeating this cycle.

The two of them practiced for an hour as usual. Practicing Kung Fu requires gradual progress, with small amounts accumulated over time, and not exhausting the body in one go.

After returning home to wash up, Su Yuchen continued to go out for the interview. Zhao Xiaojing went out and bought two boxes of green grapes, and then returned home to prepare the sweet soup.

I still have several watermelons I bought yesterday, and a box each of passion fruit and lime that I haven't opened. I stored them in cardboard boxes in a cool place. When I opened them today, they were still very fresh.

I started making it at noon yesterday, and only made two types. I sold about a hundred pieces.

But the repeat customer task requires 100 people, and tomorrow is the third day. To be on the safe side, the more she makes today, the better, at least 300 copies.

Zhao Xiaojing was instantly shocked by the huge amount of work.

No more words, just do it now!

In addition to the two kinds of sweet soups from yesterday, I have to make a new product today, passion fruit and plum ice jelly.

Although it is also ice jelly, it is very different from the ice jelly that Lv Hongwen makes by randomly mixing water. Zhao Xiaojing's ice jelly is purely hand-made.

Zhao Xiaojing went over in her mind what she was going to make today, calculated the approximate time and steps, then washed her hands and started making the hand-rubbed ice jelly, which would take time.

Hand-kneading ice jelly may seem simple, but it’s all about details, and there are many things to pay attention to if you want to do it well.

First, put the ice jelly seeds into a gauze bag, tie the opening and soak it for three to five minutes. This will make it easier to make the ice jelly.

Choose ice jelly seeds that have high pulp and bright color when rubbed.

After soaking, choose a bucket with a higher depth of water, pour boiled water into the bucket, sink the gauze bag under the water and rub it continuously. Try to avoid exposing the gauze bag to the water surface, so that it can be isolated from the air and less bubbles can be rubbed out.

Stop rubbing when a lot of white foam appears on the water surface. Don't keep rubbing it. The longer you rub, the more bubbles will appear and the ice jelly will not be pure.

Then skim off the foam. Then filter out the clear part of the food-grade lime water prepared on the side and pour it into the slurry in the bucket.

When pouring, be sure to pour it in slowly and steadily, stirring the ice powder slurry while pouring the lime water. When you can clearly feel the resistance of the ice powder slurry, it means it is solidifying.

Then set the ice jelly aside and wait for it to solidify naturally.

While waiting for it to solidify, you can cook plum water.

The key to making plum water is the appropriate stewing time and the choice of plum variety.

Choose sweet and sour plums, not salty ones. After boiling, you need to remove the lid and turn to low heat to prevent the plum flesh from separating.

After the plum water is cooked, let it cool down and refrigerate. Then, scoop out the passion fruit pulp, add honey, and a small lime cut in the middle.

Zhao Xiaojing picked out a box of passion fruits with wrinkled surfaces and a certain weight. The passion fruits of this kind are fragrant and juicy.

I made a lot of jasmine adamas and sago yesterday and kept them in the refrigerator. I just need to cook them today.

After that, all that’s left is to make grape sauce, jelly, and process the grapes and watermelon.

After completing all the preparations, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that the amount of the prepared condiments was more than four times that of yesterday, Zhao Xiaojing finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, since we made a lot of small, preservative ingredients like tapioca pearls and adazi yesterday, the workload today was much lighter.

I picked up my phone and found that Su Yuchen had sent me a text message and was on his way back.

Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly took out the vegetables she bought yesterday, started to cut the cucumber into shreds, fried an egg, cut the carrot into shreds and blanched them, then mixed a bowl of garlic juice and a bowl of chili oil, and waited for Su Yuchen to come back to mix it with cold noodles.

There is a lot of goods to sell today, so she has to find a way to promote them, for fear that she will not have time to eat.

"Mirror, are you crazy? You made so much today? Can we sell them all?"

As soon as Su Yuchen came back, she looked into the freezer of the stall cart, and this look almost scared her.

"It's not us, it's me. There's a lot of work today, so it's definitely going to be late. I think it'll be until 12 o'clock. You've been running around all day, so just rest at home and don't follow me."

How was your interview today?"

"It's okay. I've been commuting all day, so I just wanted to spend some time with you tonight. You don't know, although I only interviewed with three companies today, they span the entire city of Jiangcheng, forming a perfect triangle! I spent all my time on transportation! The interviews were okay, as they're small companies, no different from before."

Su Yuchen hung up her bag and stood under the air conditioner, shaking her clothes to get some fresh air. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaojing pulled her away.

“So these three aren’t your ideal companies?

Don't blow it directly on you, it can cause rheumatism! I'm cooking, let's have some cold noodles."

"Why are you like my mother?" Su Yuchen, who was pulled away, stared speechlessly.

Zhao Xiaojing glanced at her with amusement and walked into the kitchen. She took out the noodles soaked in cold water, divided them into two bowls, and then added toppings to each.

"Strictly speaking, none of these companies are my ideal companies, and even this job isn't my ideal job. It's just the major my parents chose for me, and I studied it, have the skills, and just wanted to find a job."

Su Yuchen followed him into the kitchen and got the dishes and chopsticks. As they spoke, two bowls of appetizing cold noodles with red, green and yellow side dishes and a splash of red oil and chili peppers were ready.

“Comb, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but I didn’t know what you were going to do.

I was thinking, if your current job is just for the money, why don't you join me in setting up a stall? We'll split the profits in half, and then open a shop together. The money should be more than what you can make at work, and you'll have more free time to do what you want.

Zhao Xiaojing mixed the noodles and said after thinking for a while.

She has a system, so making money is not difficult for her. She is also confident that things will get better and better. Su Yuchen has been helping her when they were in Yangcheng. Neither of them is a squeamish person, so it is good for them to work together.

"Wow, is my sister Jingzi going to help me make money?" Su Yuchen said in surprise as he devoured his cold noodles. "That's an idea. Instead of working, why not set up a stall with you..."

I'll wait until the interview results come out with the two companies before making a decision. I won't go out tomorrow. If the two companies notify me for a re-interview, I'll try again. If there's no result, we'll officially become partners.

Su Yuchen made a quick decision.

She spent four years in college and two years after graduation working in design, moving from one company to another. Although she had always wanted to do what she loved, she never had the courage to abandon her six years of hard work.

She has been confused for a long time, and the two big companies she decided to interview this time were also trying to break through the bottleneck.

Just treat this as an opportunity. If you can't go any further, then quit completely.
