Although these three shops haven't affected Kowloon Cafe's business yet, they've given customers more options to compare prices. Once the Lunar New Year is over and the restrictions on milk powder and fresh milk purchases are eased, the milk tea made by these cafes will likely catch up in taste.
Therefore, instead of letting others catch up and divert customers, it's better to open this branch yourself, so that you can retain more customers by relying on the store's trendy style and good reputation.
As for the location of the store...
Several places flashed through Liang Guiying's mind, but none of them were available to be paved.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, Liang Guiying has put aside the matter of opening a branch store and is focusing on preparing for the Spring Festival.
Chen Yingzi was not in a hurry to go back. A few days ago, her mother called and specifically told her to help Liang Guiying clean the house before leaving.
Liang Guiying accepted Chen Yingzi's kindness, so the next day the two of them cleaned the house inside and out.
For furniture in the house that can't be wiped directly with water, use a dry cloth. For small crevices, use a toothbrush to wipe them little by little. Light bulbs and ceiling fans were all carefully wiped.
Zhou Xiaonian was a hardworking and filial child. While Liang Guiying and Chen Yingzi were busy, she also busied herself, washing several basins in the process.
It took the two adults and one child three days to barely get the house tidy, after which they moved on to the department store.
Candies, biscuits, melon seeds, fresh apples, pears, and dried longan were all bought in bulk. Of course, new clothes for the little one were also essential, and Liang Guiying asked Chen Yingzi to help her choose three new outfits.
Chen Yingzi juggles two jobs while attending school, earning two salaries, totaling one hundred yuan a month. This income surpasses that of most people in Jiangcheng.
She is usually very frugal and spends almost nothing on food. Over the past six months, she has saved several hundred yuan.
Chen Yingzi bought herself two new outfits and also bought two outfits for her parents.
Looking at her confident and capable demeanor, Liang Guiying couldn't help but recall her crazy and eccentric appearance in her previous life.
I couldn't help but feel both deeply saddened and overjoyed.
On the 27th of the lunar year, Chen Yingzi returned to the village, and Liang Guiying gave her a red envelope: "This is my New Year's money. Whether it's a lot or a little, it's all from the heart. Please accept it."
Chen Yingzi dressed simply, carrying several new outfits in a snakeskin bag back home without attracting anyone's attention.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Liang Guiying began wrapping zongzi (sticky rice dumplings
The little girl had a small mouth, so Liang Guiying made mini versions of the rice dumplings. She even added string to hang them. After cooking them overnight, they were ready to eat the next day. The little girl ate only half of one and then held her belly, saying she was full.
"If I keep eating like this, my stomach will explode!"
Liang Guiying let her carry those small rice dumplings and dolls to play with, while Liang Guiying fried glutinous rice balls, fried sugar rings, and made braised pork.
Soon, the Spring Festival arrived amidst people's anticipation.
Liang Guiying got up early and first cooked a lean meat noodle soup for the grandmother and grandson. Then she went to the market to buy fresh meat and ribs, and immediately killed a chicken when she returned.
Although it was just the two of them, grandmother and granddaughter, eating during the Spring Festival, Liang Guiying still prepared a very solemn meal: poached chicken, braised pork belly, stir-fried ribs, pickled cabbage and chicken giblets, stir-fried greens, and a soup.
Kowloon Cafe is also closed for the Lunar New Year, from the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to the third day of the first lunar month.
Because it was a holiday, there were many customers at the ice cream parlor, and the daily turnover was almost twice that of usual.
After the Spring Festival holiday, Chen Yingzi returned to school, and Liang Guiying planned to look for a shop to open a branch.
However, at this moment, something suddenly happened.
