After putting Zhou Xiaonian to sleep that night, Liang Guiying checked the accounts and counted the money.
The total was 2,300 yuan, Liang Guiying counted it three times.
Earning over two thousand yuan in just over two months is really impressive, considering that she can only sell so much each day and the products are limited. Once the ice cream parlor opens, she can offer more types of drinks and snacks to sell, which will increase her income.
After carefully putting the money away, Liang Guiying picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Zhou Yue, detailing Zhou Xiaonian's situation.
The little girl changes every day, and there are many interesting things to tell. Liang Guiying wrote ten sheets of paper and still couldn't finish writing, and there were still many things she hadn't thought of.
"I need to buy a diary to record every day of the year, so I won't forget."
Liang Guiying muttered something to herself, then wrote and put away the letter. She then wrote down a list of tasks on a piece of white paper.
The next day.
Liang Guiying got up very early, fed the chickens, and watered the vegetables.
After preparing breakfast, Liang Guiying woke Zhou Xiaonian up: "Niannian, wake up, we'll go play after breakfast."
The little girl was still half asleep, looking dazed and obedient. But as soon as she heard about going to play, she immediately opened her eyes: "Let's go play! I want to go play!"
Liang Guiying took all her possessions with her and left home.
Liang Guiying first took the little girl to Beishan Park for a walk, and around nine o'clock, she took the little girl to People's Square.
People's Square has an open-air cinema area, a fountain, a basketball court, and a newspaper stand, making it a landmark of Wuhan.
In a few years, this place will become the most bustling and prosperous commercial center in Jiangcheng. Even the air-raid shelters on both sides of the square will be transformed into underground shopping malls. At that time, shops will be in high demand. To buy or rent a shop here, you will not only need money, but also a lot of connections.
About five minutes east of the People's Square rostrum, there is a Da Nan Cinema, which Liang Guiying noticed as she walked.
The area boasts a wide variety of shops, including remittance counters, photo studios, shoe repair shops, barbershops, herbal tea shops, pickled fruit stalls, fried food stalls, and dessert shops. Downstairs from the cinema, there is an eyeglasses shop, a photo studio, and a bookstore, and a little further on, there are two clothing stalls.
Across the street is a snail shop, which smells of pickled bamboo shoots. The shop also sells rice noodles and vegetarian dishes.
There's another ice room called Golden Phoenix Ice Room.
The menu is displayed on a homemade sign at the entrance of the ice cream parlor: Pineapple Ice, Salted Lemon Smoothie, Three-Color Ice Cream, and Soy Sauce Ice.
Liang Guiying had her eye on the area around the Da Nan Cinema and wanted to open an ice cream parlor nearby, and there just happened to be one there.
With the attitude of learning from her future peers, she went in to order: "Boss, I'd like a pineapple ice and a salted lemon soda."
The ice room was small, only about 20 square meters, with about ten small wooden tables and long benches neatly arranged. Several couples were sitting scattered inside. Liang Guiying put Zhou Xiaonian down from her back and heard the couples talking about "Shaolin Temple".
Liang Guiying remembers "Shaolin Temple" because she saw it in an open-air movie in her village in her previous life and was deeply impressed by Jet Li's boxing skills.
It was Zhou Xiaonian's first time visiting an ice cream parlor, and she was very curious. When the owner served her drinks, he saw that she was cute and gave her a toy to play with.
“Every year, say thank you, Auntie.”
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Oh, what a good child."
The salted lemon soda tasted good, and the pineapple ice was also okay. The little girl liked the pineapple ice but couldn't bear to part with the salted lemon soda, so she licked the pineapple ice and then took a sip of the salted lemon soda, happily swinging her legs.
The movie theater across the street rang its projection bell, and several couples quickly left, chatting and laughing, leaving only Liang Guiying and her granddaughter in the ice room.
