It was a good idea, but a beverage shop also needed a very important ingredient, milk.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to find cows.
However, there were very few people who raised cows in Sichuan.
Li Xiaoran’s milk tea used goat milk, but compared to milk, goat milk had a smell. It wasn’t as good as milk.
Therefore, there was no way to continue this business.
Later on, Li Xiaoran decided to put the milk tea business aside first. Instead, she sold honey lemon tea, golden orange lemon tea, and various fruit tea.
Soon, the beverage shop opened.
Li Xiaoran named this beverage shop ‘Sweet Drinks’.
As soon as this beverage shop opened, customers were attracted by these delicious drinks. For a moment, the beverage shop was overcrowded.
At the same time, it was time for Zhao Sisi and Mao Dao to get married.
Li Xiaoran placed 200 taels of silver ingot and a set of gold jewelry in a wooden box for Zhao Sisi.
Because of her second uncle and second aunt, Li Xiaoran didn’t want to send too many things over.
However, Luo Cheng gave Mao Dao a generous gift for their marriage.
As her family, Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing came to Zhao Sisi’s boudoir to accompany her on the day of her marriage.
Zhao Sisi’s bridal makeup was personally done by Li Xiaoran.
The others weren’t good at makeup, so Li Xiaoran took over it. As Li Xiaoqing watched from the side, she shouted,
“When I get married, you have to do my makeup too!”
When Li Xiaoran heard her sister’s words, she immediately laughed.
“Don’t worry, you guys are both my sisters!”
With that, Li Xiaoran looked at Zhao Sisi.
“Sister Sisi is really good-looking. With this makeup style, she looks like a fairy. Mao Dao is really lucky!”
When Zhao Sisi heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately blushed.
Li Xiaoqing thought of something and said with a smile, “Fortunately, we’re not getting married that far off. We’ll still be in the same village in the future! Speaking of which, Mao Dao bought a homestead in our village and built a house. You haven’t gone to take a look yet, have you?”
“I haven’t yet. Aren’t we going today? I’m acting as Sisi’s family today. After sending her to the bridal sedan, I’m going there to eat!” Li Xiaoran teased with a smile.
When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she immediately clamored to follow along.
“Sister, I have to follow along to take a look! If the Mao family bullies Sisi, I can help! ” Li Xiaoqing said.
When Li Xiaoran hesitated, Zhao Sisi said, “Sister Ran, let Xiao Qing go with you! When the time comes, I won’t be so nervous all alone in a new house!”
Li Xiaoran also understood Zhao Sisi’s nervousness and nodded as she said, “Alright! Then the two of us will support Sisi today!” Li Xiaoqing and Zhao Sisi also laughed.
Before long, the groom came to get married!
After being tested many times, he finally carried his bride out and sent her to the bridal sedan.
On the other side, Li Xiaoran left the Zhao family’s house and followed Luo Cheng, who was waiting outside, to the Mao family’s new house.
Mao Dao had paid for the construction of this house. The money he used was all the money he had accumulated over the past year.
Back then, Mr. Mao and Mrs. Mao wanted to pay for their house, but Mao Dao rejected them.
His parents were already old, so he didn’t want them to worry about money.
As for him and Zhao Sisi, they had hands and feet. As long as they did business steadily, they definitely wouldn’t starve to death.
Actually, Mao Dao also had some selfish motives. In the future, his parents could use the excuse that they had given him money to boss him around.
Moreover, it was only right for him to pay for the construction of a house for his wife to live in. At least, it could save Zhao Sisi a lot of unnecessary trouble. At this moment, Mrs. Mao and Mr. Mao had already started preparing in the new house.
The things in the house were all brand new. They were also furniture ordered from Li Xiaoran’s father, Li Shun.
After the Mao family’s relatives came to take a look, they were all envious.
Mao Dao’s sister, Mao Xiaoli, had also returned, but she didn’t appear in front of others. Instead, she was helping out in the kitchen.
It was taboo for someone like her, who was divorced and regarded as a jinx, to appear when others were getting married.
However, her brother was getting married this time, so as his sister, she naturally had to help.
Soon, the Mao family’s relatives went to see the bride.
When Li Xiaoran and Li Xiao Qing arrived at the new room, they were already surrounded by a group of people.
“Sigh, Mao Dao is so lucky! The bride is really beautiful!” A woman praised with a smile.
The others echoed, “That’s right. Mao Dao is so lucky to have such a good wife!”
Of course, there were also people who said jealously, “That’s right. With such a heavy dowry, Mao Dao’s family is in luck! As expected, people have to be more eloquent. Otherwise, how could they have obtained a cash cow?”
In the past, Mao Dao was idle. Wasn’t this person insinuating that Mao Dao was incompetent and only knew how to coax girls?
Mao Dao looked displeased when he heard this.
“Being eloquent is indeed a good ability! For our shop’s business, Brother Mao Dao had to shout to attract such customers! Fortunately, Brother Mao Dao is eloquent. Compared to those people who don’t know how to speak and offend people the moment they open their mouths, he’s indeed much better. Otherwise, how could he earn money?!” Li Xiaoqing mocked.
The woman wanted to say something else, but she was stopped by another woman.
“Look at who was talking just now. That’s the consort’s biological sister, Li Xiaoqing! If you offend her now, you might not be able to survive here in the future!”
When the sharp-tongued person heard this, she immediately shut up and didn’t dare to say anything else.
When Mao Dao saw Li Xiaoran and Li Xiao Qing, he immediately laughed.
“Madam, Xiao Qing, you guys came at the right time! I’m going to the front to toast the guests now, so I’ll have to trouble you two to help!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she laughed.
“Go! Leave this to us!”
