Chapter 144: I was really scared and went insane

"We can make hot tea. In the winter, drinking a cup of steaming hot milk tea will warm you up. We can also make a variety of flavors. In the summer, we can also make iced fruit tea. We should have no problem with business."

Nowadays, milk tea is one of the most popular businesses, and regardless of region, there are milk tea shops everywhere, with various brands competing with each other.

But here, Milk Tea is not there yet, there is no internal competition, and it is almost a win without any effort.

"If Qiqi says it will sell well, then it must sell well." Cai Dongmei has unconditional trust in Ye Muqi.

Because everything Ye Muqi makes is always a good seller. For example, the pancake that sold out for a whole day is still sold out by customers who ask about it when they meet her.

Xu Dahai and his apprentice drank milk tea in the store and then left. The decoration of the store was not only flawless, but was even unexpectedly good.

"I'll buy some more things and prepare the menu in the next two days. Once everything is ready, we'll officially open the day after tomorrow." After looking over the situation in the store, Ye Muqi prepared to open the day after tomorrow.

There aren't many things to buy, and one day is enough.

Cai Dongmei and Yang Liwen had no objection to this and agreed.

In the afternoon, Ye Muqi and Yang Liwen went to buy tables, chairs and benches for the store, and also bought a lot of bowls, chopsticks and cups, as well as some large basins and buckets for use in the kitchen.

After buying these things and delivering them to the store, it was almost five o'clock, so the two of them closed the store and returned to their family compound.

"Sister Yang, I'll go buy some things to put in the store tomorrow. It's nothing else, so you can just rest at home for a day. We'll officially open the day after tomorrow, and we'll be busy so you need to recharge your energy first." After getting off the car, Ye Muqi said to Yang Liwen.

Ye Muqi felt that this was something that could be done by one person, and didn't want to trouble Yang Liwen to go with her again.

"Okay, then I'll practice making pancakes at home tomorrow. I haven't made them for a long time, so I'm probably not very good at it." Yang Liwen smiled and nodded in agreement.

The next day, after having breakfast, Ye Muqi took a taxi to the city and went to the electronics store instead of going directly to the store.

The current store is very large. After looking at the space in the back kitchen, Ye Muqi decided to buy two large freezers and put them in. The space in the freezer is larger than that in the refrigerator and can hold more things.

"I want this freezer. I want two, and this refrigerator as well. Can you deliver it to me today?" Ye Muqi pointed at the items he had chosen.

"Sure, we can arrange for it to be delivered now."

Ye Muqi followed the delivery truck into the store. Two large freezers were moved to the back kitchen, and the refrigerator was placed in the store, next to the bar.

The originally empty store now had tables, chairs and benches already set out, and the kitchen utensils and bowls were also ready. Ye Muqi took out the dishes from the space, filled up a large refrigerator, and put some in the other one as well.

In the wall lattices carved out by Xu Dahai in the back kitchen, Ye Muqi also put rice, flour, grain, oil and a large amount of vegetables, and prepared enough dishes. Preparations for opening tomorrow are basically complete.

In the afternoon, Ye Muqi returned home from the store, cooked a sumptuous dinner, and waited happily for Rong Jingchen to come back.

It was almost six o'clock when Rong Jingchen came back from outside.

"Are you busy today? You came back an hour later than usual." Ye Muqi saw him come back, then took out the warm dishes and prepared to stir-fry the vegetables for dinner.

"The verdict on Sun Xiuxiu and others has been announced today." Rong Jingchen said as he walked into the kitchen.

When the kidnapping was mentioned, Rong Jingchen came over and hugged Ye Muqi's waist from behind.

"What's the verdict?" Ye Muqi let him hold her and did not pour the oil in his hand into the pot.

"Zhang Xiuxiu was sentenced to three years in prison for inciting crime, while the other two accomplices were only sentenced to five years in prison because they were instigated to commit crimes and had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes. Although Zhang Xiuxiu's husband was unaware of the crime, he needs to be educated and study laws and regulations for three months."

Rong Jingchen hugged Ye Muqi and felt his heart gradually calm down.

He even mentioned Zhang Xiuxiu's husband, but did not mention the main culprit Zhang Ren. Ye Muqi found it strange. Could it be that the accomplices have been sentenced, so could the main culprit still turn around?

"Where's Zhang Ren?" Ye Muqi waited for a while but received no answer, so he asked.

When Rong Jingchen heard the name, he sighed at first.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Zhang Ren's mental evaluation results showed that he did have mental problems, and he was confined to a mental hospital for treatment."

Although Rong Jingchen had said before that he would be locked up for life no matter where he was, his mood was still affected when this result really happened.

Is it true that Zhang Ren has mental problems?

Ye Muqi had not expected this result and was surprised. Could it be that he had really scared Zhang Ren so much before that he became a mental patient?

"If he can't be cured, he will be locked up in the mental hospital forever. After he is cured, he will be re-convicted based on the crimes he committed and sent to prison."

Rong Jingchen continued speaking, and it seemed as if he was speaking to Ye Muqi, but also as if he was speaking to himself, for self-comfort.

Ye Muqi could clearly sense that Rong Jingchen was in a bad mood, and quickly advised him: "Let the past be the past. They have already received the punishment they deserve. We are fine now, just live our lives well."

"By the way, didn't I tell you yesterday that the store has been renovated? It will officially open tomorrow." Ye Muqi said happily.

Compared to Zhang Ren and the others, Ye Muqi cares more about her own shop. After all, the law will not let them off. She just needs to live her own life and there is no need to be stuck in the past.

Ye Muqi had mentioned the opening of the business yesterday, and Rong Jingchen already knew about it.

"The political commissar has already publicized it in the army today. Tomorrow is the weekend, and the brothers in the army all said that they would go to your store tomorrow to support you and Sister Yang." Rong Jingchen's expression softened when he talked about this.

Thinking of the group of noisy kids in the army, Rong Jingchen's eyebrows were filled with smiles.

"That's great. With just this group of people from the army tomorrow, my store won't have to worry about business. It's a really good start to the business!" Ye Muqi said happily. Thinking of the bustling scene, he couldn't even suppress the smile on his lips.

"But you should let them come in batches. Although my store has expanded now, there are so many people in the team that there probably won't be enough space for them." After being happy, Ye Muqi regained a little bit of his rationality.

"Okay." Rong Jingchen hugged her and nodded. Looking at Ye Muqi's smile, he also smiled slightly.

Ye Muqi pushed him away, poured oil into the pot, and prepared to start stir-frying vegetables for dinner.
