Chapter 2

Although this is just Su Wanxing's deduction, just thinking about it is exciting.

After finding out the details, Su Wanxing immediately returned to the mansion and summoned the steward.

"Miss"

"Steward Chen, I've just woken up, and I'm sorry to trouble you with some matters at the manor."

"This is all within this old servant's duty."

"Now that I'm awake, shouldn't you give me some silver to help me recover?"

"Miss, are you planning to take money to Mingyue Pavilion again?"

Of course not.

“Miss, please forgive my bluntness, but since you came of age, you have been giving fifty taels of silver every month to that young master Huizhi. I have served Master Su since childhood, and according to Master Su's last wish, Miss must spend the money on proper matters.”

"ah?"

Su Wanxing never expected that the original owner of this body would be so deeply in love with Huizhi.

"Steward Chen, after I woke up, I realized that I was too naive before. From now on, I promise you that I will try to go to Mingyue Pavilion less often, okay?"

"That would be wonderful! Miss, I believe that the spirit of Patriarch Su will be at peace now that you have repented."

"And this silver?"

"How much would you like, Miss?"

"I'm asking you, how much would it cost to rent a shop on this street?"

"Miss, where would you like to rent?"

"Um, why don't you tell me everything?"

"The location on Mingyue Street is in a prime location, with a monthly rent of about five taels, while other locations outside of Mingyue Street have a monthly rent of about one tael."

Su Wanxing nodded.

It seems that Mingyue Pavilion is indeed expensive.

"Then, Steward Chen, where do you think I should rent a shop to start a business?"

"Let me think about it. Tomorrow Street, which is behind Bright Moon Street, is not as bustling as Bright Moon Street, but it is very close to Bright Moon Street, and the rent is about two taels of silver. It is a good location."

Riding the wave of traffic from Mingyue Street? Great!

"Alright, you can leave now."

After Butler Chen left, Su Wanxing studied the document carefully at her desk.

If you only spend and don't earn, even the largest fortune will be depleted. And now it seems that my Su family can only be considered middle class. Luckily, I used to work part-time at a bubble tea shop.

Su Wanxing wrote down the process on a piece of paper.

Boil five to ten grams of tea leaves, then add two to three hundred grams of milk, and finally add ten grams of honey, stirring well.

"There weren't that many ingredients back then, but it shouldn't taste bad, right?"

Su Wanxing called Chuntao over.

"Make the dish according to this method, then let me try it."

Chuntao took the Xuan paper and looked at it. "Miss, what is this?"

"Hmm... It's a special kind of tea. I'll share a cup with you once I've brewed it."

"Thank you, Miss! Chun Tao will take care of it right away!"

In less than half an hour, Chun Tao brought over the milk tea.

Su Wanxing poured herself a cup and tasted it carefully. Although the taste wasn't as good as the milk tea from the shops, it was still pretty good.

"Chuntao, you should try some too."

Chuntao poured herself a glass, held it in front of her, and smelled it.

"It smells so good!"

He then drank it all in one gulp.

"Miss, this tea is quite strange, but the taste is very good."

"By the way, what kind of tea was used to make it?"

"black tea"

"Does the manor still have green tea?"

"Some ladies"

"What are the prices of black tea and green tea?"

"Ordinary green tea costs 500 coins per 500 grams, while black tea costs 600 coins per 500 grams."

"How many grams are in one jin?"

"Five hundred grams, miss."

Su Wanxing picked up a pen and paper and started calculating.

Five hundred coins can make fifty cups of milk tea, so the price would be twenty coins per cup, making a profit of ten coins per cup. It would take selling two hundred cups a month to break even on the rent, but is it even possible to sell that many? Most of the residents here are from the lower classes, and each family's daily expenses are only twenty coins. It seems this method won't work.

"Chuntao, do you like this tea?"

"Of course I like it; it's completely different from the tea I usually drink."

"That's good. Then take this pot and drink it."

"Thank you, miss."

After Chun Tao left, Su Wanxing sat at her desk, pondering ways to make money.

Since ordinary people can't afford it, why not supply it to some famous restaurants first? If it works, we'll have a stable supply and won't have to worry about rent. Wouldn't that be great?

After finalizing the method, Su Wanxing personally made a pot of milk tea and went to Mingyue Pavilion.

As soon as Su Wanxing stepped into Mingyue Pavilion, the beauties inside surrounded her.

"Miss Su is here again."

"Miss Su, are you going to see Young Master Huizhi again today?"

Su Wanxing found an empty seat and sat down.

"I didn't come here today for him."

After saying that, he picked up the milk tea and poured one cup after another.

"I've come here today to serve tea to all of you beautiful ladies."

Upon hearing the news, three or four handsome men surrounded him.

Su Wanxing picked up a cup and handed it to one of them.

"I wonder if any of you beauties would do me the honor of trying it?"

The beautiful woman picked up a cup, took a small sip, and her expression suddenly changed.

How is my tea?

"What a strange tea."

The man tasted it and drank it all in one gulp.

"It tastes so good!"

After hearing this, the others also started to try it out.

After drinking it, every man praised it highly.

"Miss Su, how did you get this tea?"

"I made this myself so that you could all try it. What do you think?"

"It's rare for Miss Su to give us such fine tea."

"That's right, Huizhi is always given priority, how could we possibly get a turn?"

"That's right, that's right."

Su Wanxing felt a little embarrassed by being talked about by so many people.

"Since you ladies all like it so much, would you like to drink it again in the future?"

"Of course I want to!"

"In that case, could you please call the owner of Mingyue Pavilion? I have something important to discuss with her."

Su Wanxing noticed that none of the beauties spoke.

"Once the matter is accomplished, Su Wanxing will surely reward you handsomely."

“Then come with me,” one of the beauties said.
