That day, You Ying asked You Guoguo to have dinner with him with the intention of testing the poison on her. He used the food Liu Ben sent to make potato and kelp slices and egg, tofu and water shield soup.
You Guoguo was amazed after eating it. The water shield soup was delicious, and the kelp slices had fish flavor. The two delicious dishes paired with the perfect rice were simply amazing.
You Guoguo ate heartily without any concern for losing weight. If You Ying hadn't held her back with a bloated stomach, she might have emptied the rice cooker.
"You must give me some of these delicious dishes and rice!" You Guoguo lay on the sofa with her belly bulging, and raised her hands to ask You Ying for food.
"I'll give you a bag of rice, but don't think about vegetables." You Ying himself also liked to eat these two kinds of vegetables. That was not hundreds of kilograms of rice, but two not-so-big boxes. You Ying estimated that he would finish them in a few days.
"No! I must! You got something good, why don't you think about sharing it with your family? You're making my parents so disappointed!" You Guoguo exaggeratedly acted heartbroken.
"I'll deliver my parents' portion myself, and don't even think about yours. I'll just invite you over for a meal once in a while." You Ying said disdainfully.
With such delicious food, it would be a great bargain for You Guoguo to have a few meals with her.
You Guoguo did not give up. While You Ying was cleaning the table, she sneaked to the refrigerator to get some food to take back. However, she found that You Ying had set a password for the refrigerator. She tried several times but couldn't open it.
"Brother, you're too stingy!" You Guoguo yelled, "You even put a combination lock on the refrigerator?"
You Ying walked over slowly and said calmly, "It's just to protect you."
You Guoguo failed to get the vegetables, so she could only angrily ask her driver to help her carry a bag of rice back. Today, she was not as heroic as she was the first time she ate the rice, when she carried 40 kilograms of rice with her bare hands and ran away.
Well, little girls should be more elegant!
However, the next day, You Guoguo went to You Ying's house again. You Ying was not at home today because he went to the company, so You Guoguo went to his company's office again.
"Oh my god!" You Guoguo excitedly shook You Ying behind the desk, "You must give me some food! You must, you must!"
You Ying felt dizzy from being shaken, and hurriedly opened You Guoguo's arms, steadying himself, and glared at You Guoguo: "What are you crazy about?"
"Look at me!" You Guoguo came up to You Ying and showed him: "Do you see any changes in me?"
You Ying glanced at it casually: "I didn't notice it."
"How is this possible?! My skin has gotten much better, okay?" You Guoguo shouted excitedly. She touched her face and felt that her complexion looked much better.
In fact, You Ying had some feeling, after all, he also ate those dishes. When he got up and washed up this morning, he looked in the mirror and found that his skin was dark yellow and his dark circles were lighter due to his frequent staying up late to play games.
Not only that, You Ying also discovered something else.
"Huh?" You Guoguo was enjoying herself when she suddenly noticed a change in You Ying.
You Guoguo ignored You Ying's resistance and pinched his hair: "Your hair has also turned black, and... there are some stubbles growing between your hair! Ahahaha!"
She touched her long hair and said happily: "When I combed my hair this morning, I thought it was just my own illusion. My hair was smoother and a little fluffy near the hairline. I suddenly grew some new hair. Oh no, you have to give me some of that vegetable!"
You Ying refused, so You Guoguo stood beside her and kept nagging her. Wherever You Ying went, You Guoguo kept nagging her, without stopping for a moment, just to get some vegetables that could beautify her hair.
You Ying was harassed for the entire morning, but finally couldn't stand it anymore and was defeated.
He took You Guoguo directly back home at noon, and divided the water shield and kelp in the box into three parts in front of her, one for You Guoguo, one for his parents, and the last one for himself.
You Guoguo was also shocked when she saw the twisting kelp. She was usually very afraid of mollusks, so goose bumps covered her arms.
You Ying explained lightly, and the clever You Guoguo immediately realized: "So you invited me to dinner that day just to test the poison, right?!"
You Ying was very calm: "What are you talking about? How could the food Liu Ben sent be poisonous?"
You Guoguo didn't buy it. Being a vengeful girl, she immediately put aside the thought of "how scary the moving kelp is" and without hesitation grabbed a handful from You Ying's portion and stuffed it into her own bag. Then she resolutely picked up the water shield and kelp and went home happily.
This shows how great the temptation of beauty and hairdressing is.
After You Guoguo left, You Ying took out the other water shield and kelp that he had taken out earlier, put more in for his parents' portion, and poured the rest back into his own box.
Having been siblings for decades, he already knew what moves his sister would make.
You Guoguo is a person who always throws a tantrum when he wants something, just like he did today. He thought of taking precautions last night.
But the effect of this dish is really amazing. After eating it once, I felt my skin and hair looked good. The effect is so obvious that You Ying has already imagined how popular Liu Ben’s shop will be after he opens it.
So You Ying also gave the rice to his parents. At first, his parents were a little skeptical about the effects he said, but after trying it, they were amazed.
After taking it for a few days, Mr. You's hair became noticeably darker, and the fine lines on Mrs. You's face disappeared.
Later, You Guoguo analyzed the matter carefully in the "Loving Family" group and concluded that water shield can beautify and whiten the skin, while kelp can promote hair growth and beautify the hair. In addition, all the foods made the body feel very comfortable. These changes are not so intuitive, and it is difficult to distinguish the effects with the naked eye, but food supplements are nothing more than health preservation, immunity enhancement and the like.
You won’t feel the effect if you only eat it once or twice, but if you eat it for a few days in a row, you will be able to feel it no matter how you eat it.
You Guoguo, who works in cosmetics and skincare, was completely captivated by the wonders of water shield and kelp. She even asked You Ying for Liu Ben's contact information, hoping to source from him for new beauty and hair products. But You Ying explained that the current crop of water shield and kelp wasn't very high, so she gave up, though still happy to have some.
As long as the family eats rice and vegetables, they will be nourished. Not only the young You Guoguo and You Ying are in good health, but the elderly You's father and mother are also full of energy.
So You Ying was still very much looking forward to Liu Ben's store at this time, but he just didn't say it.
Liu family.
After dinner in the evening, people talked about Liu Ben’s store opening tomorrow, and everyone was prepared.
His second uncle and aunt gave Liu Ben a new rice cooker, his third uncle and aunt gave him a new health pot, and his grandparents prepared all kinds of sauces, seasonings, and pots, pans, and utensils for Liu Ben...
Liu Ben:?
Liu Ben didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I run a produce store, not a restaurant, so I don't need these."
Although he followed hotel standards when completing the formalities for safety reasons, he had no intention of selling food in the store.
However, the Liu family elders clearly disagreed with his idea: "The things in your store are so expensive. If customers haven't tasted them, why would they buy them?"
"You mean, we should cook some food for them to try? That's not necessary, right?" Liu Ben hesitated.
"Yes, yes!" The elders pushed the gifts to Liu Ben forcefully.
"Okay." After all, it was a gift from his family, so Liu Ben accepted it.
If you can't come back at noon, you can cook something there.
"Brother, this is for you." Liu Rui gave Liu Ben two dolls. They were the kind that could be hung at the door and would shout "welcome" when they sensed someone passing by. They looked like two Q-version fruit and vegetable figures and were very cute.
Liu Lei gave Liu Ben a folding bed, and Liu Sen gave Liu Ben a set of shop equipment, including notebooks, pens, price tags, calculators, etc. All the things needed for business were prepared.
"You see, young people are more thoughtful." Uncle Liu Shuanghu said with a smile.
"Yes, these are practical." Liu Ben carefully collected the things given by his younger brothers and sisters.
"You still don't believe it? You'll know when you open the store tomorrow." Second Aunt Wang Caiqing smiled and got up to go to the kitchen.
Regarding the issue of transporting goods, although the Wushuang rice is all in the space, and those he planted outside are not yet mature, Liu Ben should not need to use a small truck.
However, because of concerns about some troublesome problems that might occur in the future, such as "How do you deliver the goods?" and "Where is your express delivery?", Liu Ben still bought a small truck, or to be more precise, a "mini truck".
Compared to those behemoths, mini trucks are truly miniature. They're essentially car-like in front, with a door-and-roof cargo box in the back. While they can't carry much, they offer the advantage of being easy to maneuver, allowing for unrestricted access to city streets. They're also stylish and fuel-efficient, and don't require a specific driver's license; a C1 license is all you need.
To run a small produce store, this car is more than enough.
When Liu Dong saw this car for the first time, his mouth almost watered. He moved closer to the car, fondly touching it while muttering, "Oh my god, it's so big, so long, and so smooth..."
"That's enough," Liu Ben got out of the car and said sarcastically, "If you like it, go buy one."
"Hehe, lend it to me when you're free in the future." Liu Dong was also familiar with Liu Ben, and said with a smile.
"No."
"No!" Liu Dong shouted, "Later, when I'm free..."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we have time." Liu Ben waved his hand, and Liu Dong was satisfied.
Liu Dong is also one of the rare young people in the village. Although he is a bit unruly, he is reliable in his work and life. There is nothing wrong with lending him a car.
On the day of opening the store, Liu Ben set out from home early. The carriage was empty. When he told his family about it, he learned that all the goods had been delivered to the city in advance.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Wang Fengjing was a little worried.
Xiao Ben has never opened a shop before. On this first day, should they go and help out and lend a hand?
"No need. There shouldn't be many customers on this first day. I can go alone. I'll tell you if I'm too busy." Liu Ben said while sitting in the car.
He wants to open his own shop, so how can he have the nerve to ask his family to help him for free? If the business is really good, it won't be a problem. But if there is no business, not only will his family be anxious, but no one will be willing to accept his salary. It's not a good idea at all.
"Okay, then be careful on the road!" Liu Shuangying instructed.
"I understand, don't worry." Liu Ben nodded and started the car.
Although the bus is not slow, having your own car is so fast.
Liu Ben quickly drove his new car to the parking lot near the store, parked the car, and walked towards the store on foot.
It is still very early now. Many people in the village have woken up, had breakfast and started their busy day, but most young people in the city are still asleep.
When he arrived at the store, Liu Ben took out his key and opened the rolling door, revealing the full view of the store after renovation.
The first thing you see is the big sign above the door, "Aben Agricultural Products", a very simple name. Liu Ben didn't want to make it too fancy, so this is fine. In addition, for future convenience, Liu Ben also specially registered the two trademarks "Aben" and "Aben Agricultural Products", which is perfect.
After Liu Ben opened the door, he immediately took out a rag and mop to clean the place, then hung the fruit and vegetable dolls given by Liu Rui at the door of the store. Liu Ben turned on the switch and tried it twice. After confirming that it was sensitive, he walked back to the small warehouse room separated from the store and started to take out the Wushuang rice from the space.
The rice is available in both loose and packaged forms. The packaged rice is placed in bags of 40 jin as usual and directly in the warehouse, while the loose rice is first poured into prepared baskets, which are then carried out and loaded into containers.
This container is large and deep, and can hold two baskets of rice at a time. After unloading, Liu Ben covered it with a transparent plastic cover, then took out a price tag and clipped it to the container. It read:
Product Name: Generation Wushuang Rice
Price: 100 yuan per catty
Efficacy: replenish essence, qi and spirit, enhance physical fitness and immunity
Features: Super delicious
The grains of Wushuang rice are crystal clear and white in color, which is very beautiful. This is because there is no ordinary rice to compare with it, otherwise it would appear more precious.
That’s all, Liu Ben clapped his hands in satisfaction.
Now all we have to do is wait for customers to come, right?
