After closing the store at night, everyone cleans the shop first, washes the pots and pans, and prepares a series of small ingredients for tomorrow's use.
Jiang Sui calculated today's total account. Excluding the cost, the total turnover was 4,200 wen, which is 4 taels of silver and 200 coins.
After some calculation, today's cost is less than one or two taels of silver.
Based on this kind of income, their total investment is eighty taels of silver. Conservatively estimated, they can get their money back in two months.
Seeing such good data, Jiang Sui felt that all his fatigue could be ignored.
After closing, it was almost midnight when they returned home. The Xiao family was exhausted today.
Zhou went back early, so she boiled several pots of hot water. After everyone came back, they washed up and went to bed, as they had to get up early the next day.
If business is good during the early period of opening, you may have to help out in the store and have no time to take care of other things.
After Jiang Sui came back, she sat down and drank two cups of hot tea. After standing all day, she felt her feet were numb and her hands were sore.
She pounded her legs and waist, and was about to fetch water when Xiao Hechuan arrived.
He carried a full bucket of hot water into the room and also brought a wooden basin with a clean towel in it.
He pressed Jiang Sui's shoulders and asked her to sit down again.
"Just sit back, I'll do it, you just have to enjoy it!"
Judging from the situation, he was going to wash Jiang Sui's feet himself. Before, when he was in Xianhe Village and still in the stage of dementia, he insisted on fetching water to wash Jiang Sui's feet every night.
After arriving in Jeju, such opportunities became less frequent, and Jiang Sui felt a little embarrassed.
He poured half of the hot water into the wooden basin, then helped Jiang Sui take off his shoes and socks, and tested the water temperature himself first.
Generally speaking, women have a higher tolerance to heat than men. They prefer slightly hotter water. Moreover, after a tiring day, soaking in hotter water will make them more comfortable.
"Try it first and see if the water temperature is suitable?" He scooped up some water with his hand and dripped it on the back of her feet.
Her feet were small and delicate, with five round toes that were pink. They were probably size 35 at most, and very cute.
The water temperature was just right, but what warmed Jiang Sui's heart even more was his thoughtfulness and consideration.
"Yeah, it fits!" She nodded with a smile, her cheeks flushed lightly pink.
Xiao Hechuan held her feet and placed them in the water. In an instant, they were wrapped in warmth and the blood in their feet began to circulate.
She let out a long sigh, feeling very comfortable and peaceful.
Xiao Hechuan used the remaining half bucket of hot water to wring out the towel, then lifted her chin and helped her wipe her face. His movements were gentle and very delicate.
He was born with a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes, and at this moment he was looking at Jiang Sui seriously, looking even more gentle and affectionate.
After wiping her face, he helped her wipe her hands, and Jiang Sui was wildly moved.
She thought to herself, no, no, this man is too gentle, too tempting.
However, the operation that made her even more excited was still to come.
He went to get a wooden comb and helped her loosen her bun. Her long black hair fell down and he helped her comb it smooth.
Finally, a box of ointment appeared like magic.
When I opened the lid of the porcelain box, a pleasant, fresh and elegant jasmine scent came out.
"What is this?" Jiang Sui asked curiously.
"Recently the weather has been dry during the day and windy at night. After being blown for a long time, your face hurts and becomes red easily. Your skin is delicate, and now you are in the kitchen all day with smoke and fire. You must take good care of your skin. Apply this ointment every morning and evening after washing up. It can make your skin more hydrated and fair, which is good for you.
I don't know what scent you like, so I chose this jasmine scent for you according to your preference, and it also helps you sleep."
Fortunately, he had to take care of Xiao Lanlan in his previous life. In order to make her happier, he always studied things that girls like, such as rouge and powder.
Now, this skill is used on Jiang Sui.
Although it is not something particularly valuable, its value lies in the thought and his regard for her.
"This will cost some money, right? Where did you get the money?"
As far as Jiang Sui knew, all of Xiao Hechuan's finances were handed over to her, and the pocket money he had was definitely not enough to buy a box of things like this.
Girls’ things, especially rouge, powder, clothes, jewelry, etc., are not cheap.
"Since this is a gift for you, you don't have to ask how much it's worth. It's all my love for you. I'm in class at the academy every day now, and I have no time to take care of the family affairs. The family business is busy, and it all depends on you for support. I see your hard work, and I feel sorry for you. There's not much I can do.
Tomorrow is Friday, and the academy is closed, so I can go to the store with you to work tomorrow."
After helping her apply the ointment, he began to massage her shoulders.
They, the intellectuals, would never lower themselves to do such flattering things, not even to their wives.
But Xiao Hechuan was an exception. He felt that these kinds of things were done in private and no one saw them, so there was no such thing as being shameful or henpecked.
Besides, so what even if she is henpecked?
Your wife is meant to be loved.
His honesty and directness made Jiang Sui's evaluation of him even higher.
It has reached a perfect peak.
He is filial, family-oriented, loves his wife, has positive values, has his own ideas and opinions, and is talented. How can he not be perfect?
He never makes empty promises to people, and he never asks you whether you want something to give him, but instead takes action directly.
She couldn't even imagine how popular Xiao Hechuan would be in modern times.
"Okay~"
Jiang Sui responded sweetly, with a bit of a coquettish tone.
The two of them did not fall in love at first sight, but rather had a long-lasting love that lasted for a long time and they were willing to be together in both directions.
He has him in his eyes, she has him in her eyes, and they both give to each other.
After washing up, Jiang Sui felt relaxed all over. She nestled in Xiao Hechuan's arms. Xiao Hechuan locked her in a deep kiss as if it was his routine, under the pretext of cultivating feelings.
She was so dizzy from being kissed that she didn't know when she fell asleep.
…
The next day, at daybreak, the family rushed to open the shop, prepared the ingredients, and opened for business to welcome customers.
Father Xiao continued to grind beans at home to make tofu pudding. This benefit had to be provided for three consecutive days. Yesterday, all the tofu pudding was sold out before closing time.
As soon as the door opened, people came to show their support.
The first bowl sold was hot and sour noodles. People who like hot and sour taste really can’t resist it.
Many of them are returning customers from yesterday. The novel taste and way of eating are so new that they are never satisfied after just one try.
There are many of them. I tried one yesterday and will try others today.
Of course, there are also many new customers who have never eaten it before. Xiao Yi and his waiters outside will patiently introduce the taste of various pasta to them.
