Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 196 Juanjuan Milk Tea Shop
Madam Si looked at the two people holding bowls and drinking milk tea: "Are you two here for this milk tea?"
"I can't hide anything from her." Madam Zhang put down the bowl in her hand and looked at Madam Qian.
"We won't keep you in suspense. We are indeed here for this milk tea. We just want to see if we can cooperate." Old Lady Qian looked at Old Lady Si with a smile.
"How do you want to cooperate?" Old Madam Si looked at the two of them.
Si Ning looked at the two families. No matter what the reason was for them to stand on their side at that time, they had to give them this face.
She has a cold personality and is not someone you can get close to. She doesn't like to talk much and just watches from the side.
When the Qian and Zhang families heard what Madam Si said, they didn't know how to respond.
If they were buying a house, even if they were willing to sell it, they would be afraid that the other party would not agree if they offered too little, and if they offered too much, they would feel that they were at a loss.
This is really a dilemma. We can only see if there is any other solution.
"We don't know how to cooperate. I wonder if you, Madam Si, have any good suggestions?" Madam Zhang kicked the ball back to Madam Si.
"You're asking the wrong person. I don't have any good advice right now. If you're not in a hurry, just wait a few days. I'll ask Xiaojiu and A Tian when they come back."
Mrs. Si had no better idea, so she simply waited for the children to come back and discuss it.
"Okay, we're not in a hurry. When the time comes, if you've agreed on something, just give us a definite answer." Old Lady Qian agreed readily.
Several children played shuttlecock, hide-and-seek together, and played statue with Songsongruanruan.
It was getting late when Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Zhang got up and left with their children.
Si Ning waited until they left before speaking: "Mom, do you have any ideas about the milk tea?"
"I feel like I'd lose money if I sold the house directly, but I can't seem to think of any other solution." Madam Si said, then looked at Si Ning: "A Ning, do you have any ideas?"
"I don't have any good ideas at the moment. Branches are usually run by our own people, so I've never encountered one run by an outsider."
"The raincoat and rain boots were alright, after all, they were bought with money. But food is not something you can decide just by spending money."
Si Ning frowned slightly. It was impossible to buy the materials from them.
She was lost in thought when she felt warmth between her eyebrows.
"Aunt, frowning is not good." Juanjuan smoothed the frown on her brows and withdrew her little hand.
Si Ning couldn't help but smile as he looked at her: "Auntie was just lost in thought."
"What's the matter that makes you frown?" As soon as Miao Jiu finished speaking, he sat down next to her and put his arm around her waist.
Si Tian stepped in behind him, picked up Juanjuan and sat next to Madam Si: "Mom, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing big. People from the Qian and Zhang families just came and wanted to ask if we can do the milk tea business." Old Lady Si said as she hugged Si Jinchen into her arms.
"I almost forgot about the milk tea business. Is business good now?" Si Tian and his colleagues have been so busy lately that they really forgot about the milk tea stall.
Wu Ma came over to collect the bowls that the customers had just used: "Second Master, this milk tea stall can sell out all the milk tea prepared the day before in just an hour, not even the whole morning."
"Business is so good?" Even Miao Jiu was a little surprised.
"That's right. I thought this business would only be booming for a while, and once the novelty wore off, there would be fewer people. That's why I didn't tell you."
The amount of milk tea that Wu Ma has made recently has not increased, so the amount of money paid back by the servants who go to help set up the stall is about the same.
No one took it too seriously, just thinking that business was doing okay, and gradually forgot about it.
In addition, Bailing sometimes comes home early and sometimes late, which basically staggers with her family's time.
Wu Ma thought she would tell her family, and Bai Ling thought Wu Ma and the others would tell their family, but in the end, no one told anyone.
Miao Jiu raised an eyebrow and looked at Si Tian: "Did we miss something profitable?"
"It seems so." Si Tian touched his nose helplessly.
Si Ning looked at the two of them and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Since this milk tea shop is so profitable, shouldn't you guys take advantage of it?"
Miao Jiu stuck to her side and put his chin on her shoulder: "I have quite a few vacant shops now, how about opening a milk tea shop?"
"I think it's okay, but the name needs to be changed." Si Tian looked at the people present.
"What name do you want to change to?" Old Madam Si looked at him.
"Just call it Juanjuan Milk Tea Shop." Si Tian looked down at Juanjuan who was looking at them curiously in his arms.
"This is a good name. I will ask someone to sort out the largest and busiest stores and just put them in Juanjuan's name!" Miao Jiu waved his hand and added another property to Juanjuan.
Juanjuan looked confused and had no idea what the shop was used for. She just looked at Si Jinchen on the other side and laughed foolishly.
Si Jinchen looked at her and smiled helplessly: "But my second uncle and uncle haven't settled the money yet. The Zhang family wants to open a milk tea shop."
"This matter is indeed not easy to handle. It's not like other commodities where you have to pay a deposit to get the goods. Food is not easy to deal with." Si Tian pinched his brows with a headache.
Miao Jiu had no better solution. They already had a lot of things to do, and it was not appropriate to allocate manpower to run shops elsewhere.
In addition, the current situation is too chaotic, and it is too risky for them to invest money elsewhere.
Juanjuan pulled Si Jinchen to kneel on both sides of the coffee table: "Brother, let's play house!"
"Okay! What role do you want to play?" Si Jinchen agreed cooperatively.
Juanjuan looked at the candies and pastries on the table, reached out to take them and placed them in front of herself.
“We play the game of selling things.”
"Okay, then Juanjuan will be the boss and I'll be the guest." Si Jinchen also took some small pieces of paper as currency.
"Brother is also a boss." Juanjuan smiled and gave him some of the cakes and candies.
Si Jinchen was a little confused: "We are all bosses, who are the customers?"
"Aunt, uncle, second uncle, and grandmother are all guests!" Juanjuan pointed at the people sitting next to them.
Miao Jiu leaned forward and reached out to gently pinch her face: "You sell the same things. Should we make the money for you or for Achen?"
Juanjuan puffed up her cheeks and said, "If I make money for my brother, Juanjuan can make money too!"
Si Ning slapped away Miao Jiu's claws, looked at Juanjuan's little face and found no marks, and did not forget to glare at Miao Jiu.
Miao Jiu covered his hand and looked at her aggrievedly: "I was just gentle, not strong."
Si Ning rolled her eyes and ignored him, turning around to ask Juanjuan softly, "Is it because Achen bought something from Juanjuan?"
