It had been many days since they last met, but his sister’s ability to fool others was even better than before. When he came back to his senses, Ning Anhui realized that not only had he accepted the banknotes, but he had also discussed the location of the shop with Xiaoxiao.
He put the banknotes away in amusement and muttered to himself.
Xiaoxiao and Gu Ruoruo weren’t just making excuses when they said that they had to spend a lot of money recently. She wasn’t just talking about letting Ning Anhui open a shop in the capital.
Chernan didn’t think much of it. He thought that Rong Yan lied to him about the iron to forge weapons, but it turned out to be for studying.
Xiaoxiao sent over the double-skinned milk pudding that she had prepared long ago.
"I thought it was something amazing, but it turns out that it’s just milk tea. There are a few shops on East Street. We’re already tired of drinking it."
Xiaoxiao knew that she was joking and was not as serious as her.
Among the rewards given by the Emperor was a courtyard.
"Milk tea that warms the hands, the stomach, and the heart!"
"Otherwise, why would there be empty shops in such a big place like the Imperial Capital?"
He was not an ungrateful person. Moreover, he was confident that he could use these 5,000 taels to earn more dowry for his sister!
Over the past few days, he had heard countless rumors about Xiaoxiao having nothing to do with the Ning Family anymore. He knew that those people were just jealous.
"Let’s try it for free. It’s free if it’s not good. Don’t miss it!"
After much persuasion and even using threats, he could be considered to have gotten 10,000 taels of silver from the Crown Prince. However, what was infuriating was that Rong Yan was so petty. He had already cheated him of a lot of iron ore and even made printing blocks with it.
Mrs. Shen poked her head even harder. "Stop talking nonsense. Where’s the new product that you promised to provide us?"
The carrier pigeons they domesticated were never wrong. Moreover, he had sent seven to eight letters in a row. How could they not send any to the right place? Could it be that his carrier pigeon had been eaten?
After saying that, he remembered that Great Xia did not have a world of ice and snow. It was so infuriating.
In the blink of an eye, it was winter in Great Xia. Chernan strolled on the streets of the capital and despised these Great Xia people for putting on cotton-padded jackets early. View the correct content at f.reewebn.ovel.co\m
Actually, Xiaoxiao did not mind. "Mother, to be honest, that house suits me."
Recently, he had finally gotten in touch with the Crown Prince. That guy seemed to be troubled by women recently. He felt that the Crown Prince deserved it.
Thinking of this, he suddenly smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar smell.
Ning Anhui cursed inwardly when he heard her mention those milk tea shops that had copied them. He only felt a little better when he saw the surprised expression on the person’s face.
He was not embarrassing. Although he could not be like Li Muyan, he could also shield his sister from the wind and rain. In order to catch up on the homework that he had missed all these years, Eldest Brother could not even make it back in time for his sister’s coming-of-age ceremony. The rice that Father planted for the royal family was about to spread throughout the entire Great Xia.
"What could be more wonderful in winter than holding a cup of hot milk tea in winter?"
It was obvious that he was unwilling to give him money, but he insisted that he did not receive the letter.
"What do you mean by falling from the sky? It’s clearly premeditated by you."
When he fell asleep, the corners of Ning Anhui’s lips curled up exceptionally high.
Not far away, Mrs. Shen poked her head in jealousy. "Alright, you’re here to snatch business from me?"
Regardless of whether they had ever drunk milk tea from the Imperial Capital in the past, they felt that the sweet and mellow fragrance had a lingering aftertaste after tasting it. They started to buy it in twos and threes.
Xiao Ran comforted her and said that it had not been easy for the Emperor all these years. According to the state of the treasury, this was already the best he could do.
Indeed, no matter when or where, no matter what identity she changed into, she was still his sister.
She thought that this taste would be difficult to swallow, but she did not expect it to be alright?
Hearing such comments, the server was not angry. He only handed over the tasting clothes amiably. "Then try it. Is our milk tea different from theirs?"
They were not embarrassing. They were the backing of their sister!
"Do you want a cup of milk tea that just came out of the pot? The second cup is half price!"
Her sister, who was over 40 years old, heard people call her "Auntie" every day. She was stunned for a moment when she was suddenly called "Sister". Then, she was attracted by the server’s words and really picked up the small cup on the table to try it on.
Someone pretended to be kind and told them that they had to keep a distance from Xiaoxiao in the future. Otherwise, others would definitely say that they were clinging to the rich and powerful, especially since their sister was now a princess. She might have long wanted to abandon poor relatives like them to save face!
The server struck while the iron was hot. "Isn’t it a little monotonous to drink milk tea alone? Customers, why don’t you have a tiger skin cake? We can settle it earlier."
"How can they live in the snow if they have to wear a thick jacket now?"
Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Ran to find a group of people who were strong, willing to suffer, and trustworthy. These requests were almost tailor-made for Xiao Ran’s old subordinates who had retired from the army. Hence, a group of strong men who had been waiting to work for a long time packed their luggage and moved into the courtyard. After that, smoke rose in the courtyard almost every day, but no one knew what they were doing.
Hehe, his sister said that she liked him very much.
Those were all fake goods. In the past, they were able to become famous in the Imperial Capital only because their real thing didn’t come. With the recipe given by his sister, Ning Anhui believed that it wouldn’t be long before the customers in the Imperial Capital would definitely think of "So It’s You" whenever they mentioned milk tea.
Not long after, the scene that happened in Xijiang County also appeared on the streets of the Imperial Capital.
The people of Great Xia were just jealous. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Li Muyan couldn’t care less about the milk tea shops in the Imperial Capital because of his grandmother’s matter. He gave those shops that had been eyeing this new thing a chance, causing most of the milk tea shops that could be seen in the Imperial Capital to be ridiculous.
"Sister, seeing that you’re so busy, why don’t you have a cup to warm yourself up? Women have to treat themselves better. You can’t possibly take good care of your family while you can only work hard, right?"
She knew very well what "So It’s You" and the elegant abode were. The elegant abode served the noble people who did not lack money, while "So It’s You" served ordinary tea to ordinary people.
The dishes in the elegant abode were all exclusive. Hence, even if her Second Brother opened "So It’s You" milk tea shop, he would not violate their agreement. As for the fake goods that secretly learned skills, there was even less of a need to mention them. They had only learned a little about brewing tea, and the snacks were even more out of place. No wonder they had not caused much of a stir until now.
"How can that be? How can my milk tea shop, which costs a few copper coins a cup, be compared to your noble lady clubhouse that one can’t enter without a VIP card?"
That courtyard was remote. Other than the size of the place, there was nothing else worth mentioning.
Even Chernan was surprised after drinking the first cup. The Xiongnu also drank cow milk, but did their cow milk taste like this? He wasn’t sure. Let’s try another cup.
A new shop called "So It’s You" was attracting customers. The commoners originally did not have much hope for this thing made of cow milk, but the servers said—
In this slightly cold early winter, was there anything more comfortable and warm than holding a cup of hot milk tea in your hand?
Seeing that Ning Anhui’s shop was doing well, many shopkeepers naturally had some nasty thoughts that they could not tell others. However, when they found out that the General’s Residence, the Princess, and the Third Prince were behind this shop, they were forced to stop their restless thoughts.
