Chapter 107: Be Moderate When Shopping
Wen Zhenyi felt it was a bit mysterious when he heard it. Why sell food? Selling ice cubes, isn't it? He got rich overnight.
She was just thinking about it; there weren't many families who could afford ice. But she could give this recipe to the mayor and the county magistrate.
After all, ice is still very useful in their area, especially in the hot summer.
After breakfast, Wen Chengwen wanted to deliver breakfast to the two children in the private school and Mr. Shen.
Ma Yinghe and Zhu Tao went to open the shop.
As soon as the door opened, diners walked in: "Boss, what do you want to eat today?"
Some diners wiped the sweat from their heads with their sleeves, while others fanned themselves with their sleeves in the hope of feeling cooler.
Ma Yinghe said with a smile, "Today we have cold dishes, both meat and vegetables. What would you like to try?"
"I'll have a vegetarian meal."
"I want a meat dish."
Wen Zhenyi had already placed many bowls on the kitchen counter, all of which were filled with cold noodles. The only thing missing was shredded chicken.
"How can I help?" Shen Hanxing had already come to the kitchen, with the clothes in his hands rolled up, revealing his lean arms.
Wen Zhen turned around to look at him and found that he was not dressed like a scholar today. Instead, he was wearing the same shorts as them, looking neat and tidy.
"You really are here to work dressed like this."
"I already said I'm here to work today, how could I lie to you?"
"Wait a moment." Wen Zhenyi prepared a bowl of cold noodles for him: "Eat first, then help me with the work."
Shen Hanxing did not refuse, took the bowl she handed over, sat on the stool and started eating.
Wen Zhenyi said to him while busy with his work, "Please help me add shredded chicken later. If any customers order meat, please help me put some chicken into the bowl."
Shen Hanxing looked at the shredded chicken she grabbed: “Okay.”
This morning's work was not very tiring, it could be considered an assembly line operation.
After closing the shop, Chen Hanxing taught Wen Zhenyi a lot of characters.
Wen Zhenyi studies very hard, and now she can remember more than a hundred commonly used characters.
She looked at the yard and considered whether to build an oven and add some bread or something.
I don’t know when the iron plate that grandpa made for her will be finished.
Ma Yinghe looked at her staring at the backyard in a daze: "Yiyi, if you are tired, go to sleep for a while."
Wen Zhenyi really had nothing to do today, so he simply nodded and prepared to go back to his room to sleep for a while. After waking up, he would think about what to do tomorrow.
She had just closed her eyes for a moment when she heard a knock on the door: "Yi Yi, Master Cheng is here."
Wen Zhenyi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed: "Mom, I know."
She wiped her face and walked out of the room, only to see Master Cheng sitting in the yard, drinking a bowl of coconut juice and eating a piece of coconut meat with relish: "Master Cheng."
"Miss Wen, did I disturb your rest?"
Wen Zhenyi sat down next to Wen Chengwen: "No, I wonder what Master Cheng wants to do today?"
"I plan to do as you said and turn the shops here into the market you mentioned."
"when?"
"The construction will begin tomorrow, but only one side of the house will be moved. The other side will still be used as a shop."
"That's good. I might be able to give you a surprise in a few days."
Master Cheng looked at her in surprise: "Surprise?"
"Yes. But there is one thing I want to ask you for help with."
"What's up?"
"Do you know where I can buy milk? Or are there any cows for sale?"
"What's a cow?"
"It's a kind of cow with black and white patterns, and it produces a lot of milk."
"I can help you find out about this. As for milk, it's a rare commodity and not that easy to buy."
"Please help me find out."
Master Cheng nodded and said, "This coconut is really a good thing. Next time I see it, I will ask them to buy some for me."
"Next time he comes to deliver coconuts, you can ask him to send some to you."
"Okay, I'll go back and tell the doorman to send it directly to my house."
Wen Zhenyi knew that he came today not only to discuss the reconstruction of the market, and there was no need to discuss such matters with her, an insignificant person.
"Miss Wen, if you have time, why don't you come with me to see the renovated store and give me some advice."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "Let's go." Then he said to Wen Chengwen: "Dad, Master Cheng and I will go to the market to take a look."
Wen Chengwen nodded in agreement.
As soon as Mr. Cheng left the shop, he looked at Wen Zhenyi and said, "Boss Wu is dead."
“I know, Grandpa Shen told me.”
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Wen Zhenyi raised his head and looked at him curiously: "Master Cheng, what do you want me to say?"
Master Cheng looked at her with clear eyes, without dodging his gaze, and the doubts in his heart were dispelled: "I just think it's a bit of a coincidence."
"It's quite a coincidence. Maybe it's his enemy who came looking for him, and he's a master."
"You have a point. Boss Wu's house is in chaos right now."
"Master Cheng is not going to take action?"
Master Cheng chuckled and shook his head: "Even without my help, their family fortune will be ruined sooner or later."
"How do you say that?"
"His wife's two sons are both prodigals. If the estate is handed over to them, it will sooner or later fall into decline."
"Didn't I hear that he has several bastards?"
"They've been oppressed by the wife for a long time, and they don't even have the opportunity to learn to read and write. Do you expect them to do business?"
Wen Zhenyi shrugged. "That's true." She looked towards the still-closed street across the street. "What a pity for this market."
Mr. Cheng looked at the market across the street and said, "I'll buy it when I have the chance and do the other thing you mentioned."
"Master Cheng, Boss Wu is gone. I'm afraid the guests he wanted to receive won't be able to come."
"Well, I don't plan to take this business. This person is not easy to deal with."
"It's okay if you don't answer."
Wen Zhenyi and he strolled around the market, and she found that there were more fruits in the market, such as bayberry, plum, mango, lychee, lemon, passion fruit, etc.
Seeing these things, she began to feel itchy again and considered whether to add a fruit tea item to lunch.
Master Cheng looked at her staring at the fruits in a daze: "Do you want to eat?"
"I want to make something with them."
"do what?"
"There's a lot we can do." She asked about the price, but these fruits were not cheap.
Her mother had just told her yesterday that she didn't have enough money and asked her to be frugal when buying things. Now that she saw these fruits, she knew she had to give them up with regret.
"I have an orchard, and these fruits are all there. If you need them, I'll have someone pick them for you." Master Cheng found her painful expression quite amusing.
