Chapter 048 Honey's Opening
On the second day after Xiao Nanchen returned, Mi Ji officially opened.
To do business, you need a store. Although the production and sales of canned food are on the farm, it is more convenient to entertain customers and place orders in the city.
Chen Ning and Su Lianyi chose a good day to open the business. They originally wanted to hire someone to perform the lion dance, but Yuanyue and the others volunteered, so Chen Ning gave the lion dance task to them.
Early the next morning, Shen Ning put on new clothes and dressed up carefully... When she was about to go out, her eyes met Xiao Nanchen's.
Xiao Nanchen didn't sleep much in the second half of last night because he was startled by a dream.
In the dream, it was still Shen Ning who was taking his pulse... Her fingers easily unhooked the buckle of the wrist guard, but it was not the wrist guard that came loose, but his belt.
Xiao Nanchen felt like he must be crazy!
They practiced boxing in the yard for a long time early in the morning. Yuan Yue and the others watched from the side with their eyes shining and eager to try. It was at this time that Chen Ning came out.
Xiao Nanchen always knew that Chen Ning was good-looking, but on weekdays she usually wore coarse cloth dresses and simple buns, and never wore makeup.
Today is the day for the grand opening, and to get a good start, Shen Ning dressed up for the first time.
Then he forcibly controlled His Royal Highness Prince Ding, who had seen a lot of the world...
She was wearing a light red skirt, which was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The narrow part was tightly pinched around her waist, and the skirt flowed like clouds, making her waist look even slimmer.
The bun is not complicated, and the hair accessories are simple and elegant. The tassels hanging down from the bun make the neck look slender and long, adding a bit of agility and cuteness when walking... But the most attractive thing is the face.
These days, Shen Ning saw her skin become whiter day by day, and she was growing older at the age of seventeen. Her dark deer eyes were very innocent, but the slightly upturned corners of her eyes revealed some heroic spirit.
Her nose is delicate and straight, her lips are full, and there are shallow dimples on both sides. When she smiles, it seems as if the surrounding environment has become brighter...
His Royal Highness Prince Ding suddenly came to his senses and immediately looked away.
Not sure if he was trying to hide something or to warn himself, he rarely bowed to Chen Ning: "Sister-in-law, good morning."
Shen Ning was also surprised by my king's sudden politeness for a moment, and then laughed: "Good morning, Anan too."
Glancing at Yuan Yue and the others who were already prepared, Shen Ning walked over and said, "Anan, let's go. Today is the opening of our Mi Ji store. Qing Bai will go directly to the store to meet us. It will definitely be very lively later."
Mi Ji's shop is next to Rong Kang Ji, which is designed to make it easier for her and Su Lianyi to move around.
When Shen Ning and Xiao Nanchen arrived by car, Su Lianyi was already greeting the early guests.
Mi Ji's canned food is in short supply, and many restaurants use it as their signature dish. Many customers go to restaurants just for the canned food. After all, Mi Ji's canned food is now only sold in bulk and not retailed.
This means that more canned food means more customers, so the restaurant owners were very enthusiastic and came to congratulate them early with gifts.
Shen Qingbai and his teacher Chen Zhili stood together. Chen Zhili had eaten other people's canned food. When he heard that the shop was going to open, he came to support it for the first time.
Even County Magistrate Cao sent a gift...
Chen Ning and Su Lianyi stood there, next to them were the manager and waiters of Mi Ji. The sound of firecrackers rang out, and the lion dance performed by Yuan Yue and his companions was agile and lively, winning rounds of applause and a great deal of joy.
Xiao Nanchen didn't like the noisy atmosphere and was a little annoyed, but for some reason he looked towards Shen Ning.
She covered her ears and huddled together with Su Lianyi, laughing happily, her dimples seeming sweeter than the cool canned food.
Realizing what he was thinking, Xiao Nanchen's expression froze.
It's only been twenty days since they left. Is he crazy to think she seems pretty again?
By the time all the guests were invited by the waiter to have dinner at Jufulou across the street, only familiar faces remained in the restaurant.
Shen Ning had just sent away Lian'er and Zhao Tong, who had come to congratulate her, and persuaded them to take two cans of canned food. When she turned around, she saw Su Lianyi walking towards her with someone.
It was Su Lianyi's cousin, Duan Qizheng, whom she had met once before.
At this moment, Duan Qizheng's face flushed and he looked uneasy and embarrassed.
He was really embarrassed...
When his cousin Su Lianyi tried to match him up with Shen Ning, he subconsciously thought that Shen Ning was the kind of country woman who was only interested in climbing up the social ladder and had ulterior motives, and he ridiculed Shen Ning.
But now it seems that his cousin was right, he was indeed shallow and ridiculous.
No one took him seriously at all. He was with his cousin only because they got along well. He didn't have time to climb up the social ladder and was busy with business.
Especially today, when he saw Shen Ning dressed up from a distance, Duan Qizheng finally understood what his cousin had said: "Don't regret it one day."
He really regretted it.
But now is not the time to talk about this, and he is not so shameless as to turn around and regret it and then come back to show his courtesy... Although he really wants to show his courtesy, Duan Qi is here to discuss business today.
Shen Ning wants to sell the ice-making recipe.
She had a lot of things that could make money, so there was no need to hide them all. She had originally planned to sell them out gradually, bit by bit.
To be hypocritical, this can make the world a better place... If the world is better, she can be better too.
When Su Lianyi heard Chen Ning say that she wanted to sell an ice-making recipe, the first person she thought of was her cousin.
In fact, Su Lianyi originally wanted to keep the ice-making recipe herself, but Shen Ning offered a price of eight thousand taels.
Su Lianyi opened a shop to do business, but it was not a big business, and her entire net worth was only about ten thousand taels of silver.
Moreover, Shen Ning told her that the recipe for making ice was not difficult, but it could easily be leaked if not managed properly, so Su Lianyi gave up the idea.
But my cousin is different.
The Duan family was not something she could compare to. They had a strong foundation, money, and connections. There were also many servants in the family who had signed life contracts. It wasn't too difficult for them to keep the recipe from being leaked.
Su Lianyi told all this to her cousin... Duan Qizheng's eyes lit up when he heard it.
It is hot in the summer, and the ice used is stored in cellars during the winter, which is expensive. If he had a way to make ice, he would have no worries about making money.
That's why, even though he felt embarrassed, Duan Qizheng still asked his cousin to speak well of Shen Ning and give him priority.
After all, he had heard that some foreign merchants had come to order canned food from Mi Ji in recent days. Ice was needed to transport the canned food, and if Chen Ning was willing, she could easily sell him the ice-making recipe.
Duan Qi was worried that Chen Ning would not sell it to him...
"Ningning, you've been tired for half a day, take a break."
Su Lianyi winked at Chen Ning, then whispered Duan Qizheng's purpose: "Ningning, to be honest, I also hope that this recipe will fall into the hands of my family, but I also know that my cousin was rude to you before, so it's understandable if you are unwilling to sell it to him."
Su Lianyi spoke in a gentle tone: "But I still want to say that the Duan family has a deep foundation and is not a profiteer. We know everything about it. My cousin is impulsive but has a good heart. I still hope Ningning can think it over carefully."
Shen Ning nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to him."
