Chapter 215: Shop-Opening Mission
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Even their style of praising people was exactly the same as hers.
Actually, if Xiaoxiao opened later, it might be even more lively outside the shop. However, her brother and Little Big Brother Ah Yan were going to enter the academy to study today, and she didn’t want them to miss the opening of her first shop, so she specially brought it forward.
No one could dissuade her, nor could they bear to disappoint her. They just let her be. Initially, Ning Fengnian and his wife were a little nervous, worried that their daughter’s excitement would be splashed with cold water. Unexpectedly, what they saw and heard far exceeded their imagination.
It was also at the moment when her family’s praise fell into her ears that Xiaoxiao received a huge surprise—
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the shop-opening mission. You have received 10,000 points as a reward. Your current total points is 40,800!]
Xiaoxiao’s big smile had just climbed onto her face when she heard the space continue to broadcast excitedly—
[Ding! The second channel to obtain points has been activated. From now on, for every delicacy sold through the shop, the host will receive 10 points as a reward. This channel is not mutually exclusive to the first channel! Ding, you will receive 10 points. Ding, you will receive 10 points!]
Although she was very excited, Xiaoxiao still turned off the notification. The excitement of the space was indescribable. It confessed excitedly in Xiaoxiao’s mind: [Master, I like you too much!]
With this love, Xiaoxiao’s good mood today also reached its peak. With such joy and happiness, she stuffed a huge box of cookies into the two of them. She had her older brother’s cookies in her left hand, and Little Big Brother’s cookies in her right.
The box was a bamboo box crafted by Ning Fengnian. It looked ordinary, and every carving was done with great care. The bamboo box was covered in clean grease paper, and the small biscuits were still warm. They were crispy and fragrant after taking a bite.
Rong Yan glanced at Ning Ansheng’s round and square biscuits and then at the little rabbits in his box. He couldn’t suppress the smile in his eyes. He decisively closed the lid before Ning Ansheng looked over and said firmly, “It saves them from getting cold.”
Ning Ansheng agreed and did as he was told. Both of them had long legs. Xiaoxiao had only jogged for a short while before they arrived at the academy.
Ning Fengnian and his wife did not send them to the door. Their son was already old enough, so it would be a joke if they were too clingy. Xiaoxiao did not have such scruples. “Since there’s lunch at the academy, we won’t wait for you at noon. Let’s go home together tonight
The two of them agreed in unison. After saying that, Ning Ansheng looked at Rong Yan, who answered naturally, and felt that something was wrong.
Shen Tianci hugged his snack box and insisted on comparing it to Rong Yan’s and Ning Anhui’s. “Why don’t I have any carvings?”
Xiaoxiao said, “Because they are VIPs as my family members. I’ll borrow you for publicity under special circumstances today. I’ll prepare a special cup for you next time. Look, the cup just now was specially made for you. Do you like it?”
Shen Tianci immediately beamed. All his dissatisfaction was gone.
After watching the three of them enter the academy, Xiaoxiao and her parents quickened their pace. When they returned to the shop, they rolled up their sleeves and joined the grand opening army—Points, here I come!
When it was almost noon, Mrs. Shen and Li Muyan brought people to support them. However, they realized that they didn’t need to support Xiaoxiao at all when they arrived. Not only was the shop filled with people, but there was also a long queue outside. Without a word, Mrs. Shen instructed two servants to help maintain order and share the pressure.
The Taro Cake Roll and Mianmian Roll that Xiaoxiao had prepared in advance were all sold out. Even the two large pots of milk tea were quickly sold out. However, it did not matter. Xiaoxiao was already prepared. When she realized that there was not enough stock, she went to the fully equipped kitchen and started cooking.
This was even worse. The unique sweet fragrance of the snack shop almost drowned the entire street. There was an endless stream of customers who came to smell it. Mrs. Shen loved it, but Li Muyan’s heart ached even more. If it weren’t for He Ruhuan…
He looked at Gongsun Zhongjing, who had followed him from the Shen Manor, in frustration. “Is my aunt’s house so good? You’re actually unwilling to return to the Li Family after making a trip.”
Gongsun Zhongjing was very honest. “The Shen Family’s chef is much better than yours.”
Li Muyan held his forehead. “Doctor Gongsun, do you still remember that you agreed to follow me down the mountain to treat my grandmother?”
Gongsun Zhongjing replied, “I’ve seen her. Your grandmother doesn’t want me to treat her. Please give me a Taro Cake Roll.”
The first half of the sentence was for Li Muyan. The other half of the sentence successfully made Li Muyan shut up. His grandmother was seriously ill. Other doctors only asked her to prepare for her funeral early. Only Gongsun Zhongjing said that it could be treated. However, his grandmother almost beat this genius doctor out after hearing his treatment method.
Li Muyan was in a dilemma. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to let this genius doctor, whom he had painstakingly invited, stay at the Shen residence for the time being.
The latter half of the sentence was directed at Yun Er, who was acting as the server, but the person who served him snacks was Xiaoxiao, who had just come out of the kitchen. Her forehead was stained with flour, and her face was red from the oven, but for some reason, her eyes were especially bright.
Her sparkling eyes darted between Li Muyan and Gongsun Zhongjing. She added a cup of milk tea for the two of them. “Feel free to eat. It’s my treat.” She even gave them a plate of biscuits.
Gongsun Zhongjing only took a bite before ignoring Li Muyan.
Mrs. Shen was also glad that she was smart enough not to eat breakfast. Her poor husband had to go to court today and could not come.
Just as she thought this, she saw Xiaoxiao take out a bamboo box with beautiful patterns as if she was performing a magic trick. “If you don’t mind, Madam can bring it back and try it.”
Mind? No way! Other than the fact that it was too little, she could not mind anything!
Mrs. Shen divided the snacks in the snack box into three portions in her heart. The largest portion was hers, and the second largest was her husband’s. However, her husband would definitely give her half of his. The third portion was her son’s, but her son had already eaten it just now, so it was also hers. She was very satisfied.
Satisfied, she asked expectantly, “Can all of these be sold in our shop?”
Xiaoxiao nodded and she smiled like Shen Tianci usually did.
Li Muyan:… He suspected that his aunt was saying it to him on purpose, but he had no evidence.
Xiaoxiao sighed that the two of them were indeed biological mother and son, so she asked her, “Do you want another Taro Cake Roll?”
Mrs. Shen said without hesitation, “Yes!”
Gongsun Zhongjing followed closely behind. “Me too!”
Xiaoxiao was caught between laughter and tears. “Aren’t you guys going to eat lunch?”
At this point, Li Muyan had no choice but to make his presence known. “Why don’t you come to our Fragrance Restaurant for a meal and call Shopkeeper Liu over too? We can talk about our next collaboration.”
Mrs. Shen’s gaze swept over, as if to say, You already have me, why are you still looking for someone else?
Suddenly, Xiaoxiao almost felt that she was a playboy. Mrs. Shen and Li Muyan were all fish in her pond, waiting for her to catch them when she was free.
Unexpectedly, Ning Anhui was immersed in the joy of earning money and couldn’t bear to leave. “How can a shopkeeper leave his business and go to eat? Sister, you can go as the representative. Bring me two buns when you come back..”
