Chapter 485
There are relatively few customers visiting the store in the morning, but the number gradually increases in the afternoon. In the evening, there are also many people coming to the city center for shopping, and they are more willing to spend.
So, with only two store clerks currently operating, Su Miao gave up the morning business hours.
Every day at noon, two employees can go to the main store to eat first, arrive at the store at 1 o'clock to prepare, and start business at 2 o'clock.
There are basically no customers during dinner time, so they can use this time to cook the second batch of side dishes, and then send someone to ride a bike back to the store to pack up lunch boxes.
Free work meals have always been a benefit of Su Ji. Even though I have been transferred to work in a milk tea shop, this benefit has not been cancelled. It’s just that the process is a little troublesome, but no one complains about it.
Nowadays, people generally eat dinner earlier and go out for a stroll earlier.
Around 7 o'clock, long queues start to form in front of the milk tea shop again. Until 8:30, people who are shopping will go home one after another, and the staff can start to close the store for cleaning.
The milk tea shop has been open for a week, and thanks to the efforts of Su Miao and the staff, everything is back on track.
Currently, the store can sell nearly 100 cups of milk tea every day. For such a small store, the turnover is very impressive.
It also reflects that the people of Nanning are pursuing delicious food and drinks. Even if the drinks are not cheap, they will buy one if two people want to drink together.
Su Miao calculated that at this rate, he could earn back the money he spent on buying the shop in about a year.
She and her father have started the countdown to leaving Nanning. They have already bought the train tickets to Beijing and informed Jiayin of their itinerary in advance.
Jiayin told them to come without worry and not to worry about anything, as she had already arranged everything after getting off the train.
There is not much time left, and Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng still have to go back to Sujia Village to hold a graduation party.
Unlike usual times when he took the bus or hitchhiked, this time Su Yuan drove his car back to the village. As soon as the car entered the village, it instantly set off a frenzy.
The villagers gathered around Xiali, looking at it in circles, and sighed that Su Yuanzheng's family had really become rich.
He opened a shop and a factory in Nancheng, and now he drives a car. His daughter even passed the imperial examination and is about to go to the best university. All these things have become hot topics among the villagers.
Even some villagers with different surnames gathered together to discuss asking a fortune teller to look at the feng shui of Grandpa Su Miao's tomb.
Speculating that the Su family was so prosperous because of their clever choice, they also thought of finding a similar place and moving their ancestors there, hoping to boost their own fortune.
Of course, Su Miao had no idea about the villagers' plans. At the moment, she was at the graduation banquet with a smile on her face, but her smile gradually became stiff.
In the village, a graduation banquet is more than just a simple feast. According to etiquette, one must first offer sacrifices to the ancestors, to comfort them that the family has produced a new talent, and then worship the mountain, to pray for the ancestors' blessings.
Even the village's threshing ground was requisitioned, and the whole clan celebrated this happy event together.
As the protagonist of this feast, Su Miao started to get busy as soon as she opened her eyes in the morning. She was solemn during the ancestor worship ceremony, and she crossed mountains and ridges on the way to the mountain, from the beginning to the end of the village, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and she kept running non-stop all day long.
Seventh Uncle's face was beaming again today, wearing the new clothes Su Miao had given him. He kept repeating one sentence all day: "Number one scholar! Our ancestor was also a number one scholar! Now our Su family has another number one scholar! We will definitely regain our glory in the future!!"
That excited look seemed as if the glory of the Su family was just around the corner.
After a busy day, Su Miao returned to his room, feeling exhausted. He fell onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already 10 o'clock the next morning.
She got up, washed, had breakfast, and went to Wujia Village with her father.
Unlike the previous time when the road was winding, this time Su Yuanzheng was driving the car and the journey was smooth. He soon arrived at the entrance of Wujia Village.
Su Miao looked at the wide village entrance and couldn't help but say:
"Dad, I remember when I came here two years ago, it was so overgrown with weeds that I couldn't find the entrance to the village unless I looked carefully. Now it seems like they are repairing the road."
“Yes, and it seemed that there were very few people in Wujia Village at that time. We only saw a few people after we entered the village.
Look, there are so many people chatting under the tree now, it’s no different from our village.”
Su Miao thought, not only are there more people, the atmosphere of the entire village has been completely renewed.
When I came here that time, I felt that the whole village was dead and there was a depressing atmosphere. Now that weird atmosphere seems to have disappeared, replaced by a vibrant scene.
They were previously introduced by Su Yuanzheng's former co-worker Wu Dawang, so this time they also chose to go to Wu Dawang's house.
Wu Dawang's home was very close to the village entrance. Su Yuanzheng parked the car at the gate of the yard and went to knock on the door with his daughter.
But after knocking for a while, no one opened the door.
Their driving into the village had already aroused the curiosity of many villagers. At this time, a villager came over and said:
"Are you looking for Awang? I'm his neighbor. Today is his father-in-law's birthday. The three of them are all at her mother's house in the next village. I don't think they'll be back until very late."
Hearing this, Su Miao and his father looked at each other. It seemed that they would not be able to see Wu Dawang today. In desperation, they could only go directly to find Mr. Wu Sanye.
Uncle Wu's home was deep in the village, with many twists and turns. Although the father and daughter still remembered the general route, Su Miao still asked the villager for safety reasons:
"Thank you, uncle. Is Mr. Wu's house along this road?"
Puzzlement flashed across the villagers' faces, but they nodded and said, "Yes, this is the road, but Uncle Wu has passed away."
"Dead? When did that happen?"
Seeing the surprised expressions of the father and daughter, the villagers thought they had heard about the power of Mr. Wu San and came to ask for help, so they said:
"He was gone last year, didn't you know? Then you're going to be out of luck this time. There's no one in his family who can take over his skills."
Su Yuanzheng nodded and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, comrade. We were previously protected by Mr. Wu San, and today we are here to thank him. Even if he is gone, it is our duty to go and pay our respects to him."
The villagers nodded in understanding and sighed, "Mr. Wu started his apprenticeship at the age of 20 and has helped many people with their affairs. It's rare to find someone as thoughtful as you.
Just go along this road until you come to a dead tree and turn left to take the fork in the road.
Walk forward to a fish pond, then take the fork on the left and go straight forward.
The roads in the village are narrow and cars can’t get through. I suggest you park here. The villagers won’t touch you.”
