Back home, I first checked on Qiao Xiaoni in the bedroom. She was still asleep. Then I went back to the room to ask Momo what was wrong. I learned that she hadn't woken up since I left.
Thinking that he would definitely need to eat something after he woke up, I went to the kitchen and made another pot of chicken soup.
I fed all the chickens to Momo during the day, thinking I'd get up a little earlier tomorrow morning to go to the market and buy two more chickens.
When Qiao Xiaoni woke up groggily, she smelled the delicious aroma of meat, her stomach growled, and she rubbed her eyes. At that moment, she saw Su Chenhao lying beside her, holding a book.
When did you get back?
"You've been back for a while now. I made some chicken soup for you in the pot. Would you like some?"
"Yes, I didn't get up after you left. I was too tired, so I took a nap." Qiao Xiaoni sat up with his help.
Su Chenhao got out of bed, put on his shoes, went to the kitchen, ladled out a large bowl of chicken soup, and placed it on the windowsill to cool.
"It's a bit hot now, let it cool down a bit before you drink it."
"How's business today?" Qiao Xiaoni tied her hair up with a hair tie, then placed a pillow diagonally against the wall and leaned her back against it.
"Business isn't as good as yesterday, but it's still not bad, especially since it's winter now. Fewer people are going out to eat, and there might be even fewer in the future."
“That makes sense. I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m wondering if we should add hot pot to the menu.” Qiao Xiaoni said, counting on her fingers, “Sliced meat, potatoes, cabbage, frozen tofu, glass noodles, and some homemade meatballs.”
That completes the hot pot ingredients. The broth is free; if you want it mildly spicy, it costs one yuan.
The ingredients are sold by the plate, so meat will definitely be more expensive, and vegetables will be cheaper. The strategy of small profits but quick turnover should be profitable. Hot pot is an upgraded version of mala tang (spicy hot pot), and I feel it will sell well.
Su Chenhao: "Then let's give it a try. I know hot pot requires special pots. I'll go to the secondhand market tomorrow to see if I can find a few copper pots. If not, I'll try to make a few myself."
Thinking about what happened today, Qiao Xiaoni couldn't help but complain and went over the English test paper.
"Your homeroom teacher is really something else." Su Chenhao touched the bowl; it was still very hot. "The test papers were handed out incorrectly. Aren't you going to correct them right away? Do you have to wait until things blow up before you start thinking about how to solve them?"
"Who knows what's going on in her head?" Qiao Xiaoni felt really hungry, so she couldn't drink the chicken soup for now. Eating some fruit should be fine, so she took out a large bowl of grapes from her spatial storage. She popped the first grape into Su Chenhao's mouth.
Su Chenhao ate it with gusto: "This fruit is really sweet, it's a pity we can't sell it outside."
"Yeah, I think it's a bit of a waste too." Qiao Xiaoni ate more than a dozen grapes in a row and felt full. She handed the plate to him: "You can eat the rest. I'm saving room for chicken soup later."
Su Chenhao nodded and lowered his head to start eating grapes.
Qiao Xiaoni stared at the plate of grapes and suddenly thought of fruit wine: "We can't sell the grapes, so why don't we make them into wine?"
"You want to make wine?" Su Chenhao put down the plate. "Theoretically, it's possible, but I don't know what the finished product will look like."
"After your relatives leave, you can try it out in the space."
Qiao Xiaoni: "Okay, it's settled then. I've had this idea before, but I've been too busy and forgot about it."
We're determined to make this fruit wine, no matter what. Even if we can't sell it, we can still enjoy it ourselves.
