Chapter 93 The Business of Orange Juice



Quietly blink. What about that drink that my little sister brought out for everyone to try this morning?

That tastes really refreshing, sweet and sour.

If we send some out for everyone to try, I'm sure they'll love it.

"Second brother, go to the back kitchen and bring that can of drink over."

An Ding put down the mop in his hand, nodded, and went into the backyard.

Xiaoju listened with eyes brimming with joy and gratitude.

"Oh my, I never thought you'd be so generous one day! My young lady really didn't waste any money here!"

Anle rolled her eyes and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"What kind of money wasted?"

Sister Xiaoju's words are so unpleasant to hear. When have I ever lied to your young lady?

I never cheat or deceive anyone!

The two were chatting about pastries when An Ding suddenly came in through the back door, carrying a bucket of juice.

Anlechong waved to An Ding.

"Second brother, bring it here. I'll teach Sister Xiaoju how to open this."

Xiaoju leaned closer and stared curiously at a can of juice that Anle had placed on the table.

"See that? It's just this little thing on top. You can open it with a little force."

After pouring out the juice, press it back down firmly to seal it.

Xiaoju licked her lips, chuckled, and asked ingratiatingly.

"What delicious stuff is in here?"

Could you pour some out for me to try?

If I really take this back, I wouldn't dare to drink it without permission.

"But since you made it, it must taste good. I'd like to have the chance to try it before I take it home."

As soon as Xiaoju finished speaking, An Yi, with great tact, took out a disposable paper cup, placed it on the coffee table, and personally poured a cup for the little maid of this important customer.

"Come on, Sister Xiaoju, hurry up and try it. My little sister plans to sell this later. If you don't drink it now, it will be worth a fortune later."

Xiaoju was amused by An Yi's funny little face and giggled.

"You're quite the smooth talker, kid. No wonder you're this little kid's older brother. Just look at that mouth of yours, it's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together."

Xiaoju took the orange juice An Yi handed her, took a small sip, and her eyes lit up with surprise.

"Ah, it's delicious! It's much better than the bitter tea in our mansion."

What kind of tea is this?

The colors are also bright and attractive.

Anle held up her index finger and waved it, "No, no, no! This isn't tea, it's orange juice!"

It is the juice extracted from a fruit.

It will taste even more refreshing if you put it in ice cubes to chill.

"When the weather is hot, drinking this will quench your thirst and feel very refreshing."

Xiaoju's eyes lit up. "Fruit? What fruit?"

What kind of fruit can be juiced to produce such delicious juice?

"Can there really be such delicious fruit?"

Anle smiled slyly, her eyes narrowed, looking like a little fox.

"Of course! There are so many delicious things to eat. If you want to eat something delicious, I have it all here."

Well, in a few days, once I have all the drinks ready, I'll put them on the shelves and start selling them.

You're all welcome to come and support us; we'll definitely let you taste what true nectar and ambrosia are like.

Xiaoju held the disposable paper cup with great affection, and asked curiously.

"Little one, this cup for drinking looks so strange. It's the first time I've ever seen a cup like this. You have so many weird things here."

Anle grinned, "Really? If you like it, you can have this cup." Since it would just get thrown away anyway, she might as well make the most of it and curry favor with Xiaoju.

Xiaoju accepted it with great joy.

"Really? Then I won't hold back!"

Anle tilted her head and teased, "Sister Xiaoju, when have you ever been polite to me?"

Xiaoju blushed slightly.

"You little rascal, you really have a sharp tongue. When I get back, I'll put in a good word for your shop with all those ladies and young women."

This jar of juice will surely be enjoyed by all the old ladies and young women.

I've certainly learned a thing or two about your methods, you little rascal.

"His intricate and circuitous ways are all part of his business acumen; he's truly got the makings of a businessman."

Anle grinned and agreed without any pretense, "Then I'll thank Sister Xiaoju in advance."

"From now on, I'll make sure Sister Xiaoju gets to try some delicious food and drinks."

The two hit it off immediately and parted on good terms.

After seeing Xiaoju out the door, Anle's gaze finally fell on Hong Lanzhi, who was standing in front of the shop window, staring blankly.

"Grandma Wu, if you're here to see my parents, then you should make another trip around noon."

I reckon my parents will be back around lunchtime.

Hong Lanzhi then came to her senses and, with a forced smile, asked, "Where did your parents go?"

Anle explained with a smile, "Didn't the village teacher leave?"

The parents planned to let the older siblings continue their studies in town, at the town's school.

I'm afraid they won't be back anytime soon.

Hong Lanzhi's old eyes flickered.

"Your parents are really carefree. They can entrust such a big business to you children without any worries?"

"It's not right to leave this place without an adult; it's too unsettling. I'll stay here and help you out."

Anle resolutely refused.

"No need. This dessert shop's business is different from Granny Wu's grain shop business. You can't help much here."

Hong Lanzhi put on a stern face and said, "What? You little brat, do you look down on this old woman's hands?"

I dare not speak for anything else, but my wife is also very good at cooking.

I'm sure I can be of help here.

Didn't you just say that there weren't enough pastries to go around?

I'll lend you a hand and hurry up and make these pastries!

This stuff is so valuable, just one serving would be worth a fortune! How could that possibly stop me from doing business and making big money?

An Yi's fair face was shrouded in a dark aura. Don't think he didn't know what this old woman was up to. She probably wanted to come to his house to steal his skills.

Seeing that his business is making money, he wants to learn a trick from him!

Even if I don't open a shop to make money myself, I can still sell the recipe for this pastry making skill and make a fortune!

"Grandma Wu, there's no need to trouble you with our business matters."

You should just focus on your own grain shop, sir.

The implication is, why are you meddlesome here instead of managing your own shop?

"You child, you're being so formal with this old woman, you're treating me like an outsider!"
