Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No wonder Yuezheng Xiao told them not to pay a visit to his house.
It seemed that the second section of the family was quite tricky too. It would be annoying if they were discovered.
The following morning, the four of them did not eat breakfast at the hotel, but learned from the waiter that they could find some local snacks on the street.
The waiter, who had shared the information and got the bonus from them, felt much closer to them. He answered their questions and acted really passionately.
There were all kinds of snacks on the street, and you could see different varieties of food there.
There were various kinds of soup noodles, porridge, sugar cakes, rice cakes, plum cakes, steamed buns with various fillings, biscuits, burritos, etc. The four people bought a lot of them. Even though the quantity was not much, they were already very full after roaming around one street.
It was a bustling place, filled with liveliness and stuff.
Qjao Xuan paid enough attention and found that there were no sugar-water stores. If she could open some sugar-water stores, maybe a chain of them, she could earn a great deal.
She could make some simple ones, such as kelp and mung bean paste, sour plum soup, jelly pudding, taro ball sago, red bean sago, bean curd, various new fruits and jelly, sago, lily, peanuts, lotus seeds, milk and other combinations. These all had unique tastes.
But the sugar-water snacks could be copied very easily. If they wanted to do well, they would need to make sure that it tastes well. Also, multiple stores would need to be opened at one go, so that the money could roll in. Otherwise people would soon copy and take a chunk of their profits.
One store would guarantee their livelihood.
But Qjao Xuan was not satisfied by just opening one store.
She bore this idea in her mind and decided to do it in the future.
She could do some preparations now, like she could ask the Yuezheng Family to look for the sources of sago.
At lunchtime, the wagon from the Yuezheng Family came to pick them up.
Qjao Xuan took along the Ganoderma and China root which she had brought along as greeting gifts for Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong as well.
They did not carry the lipsticks with them because Yuezheng Xiao would come to fetch them later and they could talk about tea leaves at that time.
The Yuezheng Family had a restaurant in the city, and it was very lively there. But Yuezheng Xiao did not take them there.
Instead, they found a private room at The Restaurant, which was quite a famous eatery. He ordered the most popular dishes such as cherry meat, three sets of duck, and Wensi tofu.
When Qu Shan brought the guests over, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong were already there. They greeted each other politely.
Shao Yunduan gave them the presents, and Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong thanked them and accepted them.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao had met them before, so they felt much more open despite being a little shy.
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong were very friendly young masters. Xie Jingrong looked distant, but Yuezheng Xiao was open-minded. It was a lively lunch hour.
They exchanged some thoughts about the local cultures, and Yuezheng Xiao asked the pageboy to inform the waiters.
But before the dishes could be served, an unexpected guest arrived there.
It was Yuezheng Ting and her maid Jiang who walked in. She spotted Xie Jingrong and smiled even more brightly. She went up and greeted them politely.
Then she turned to Yuezheng Xiao. “I was just standing in line for the pastry when I saw your wagon.. You are here, Third Brother!’
