The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 468 Huge Profits

"We have nothing to do anyway, let's clean up. We never know if there will be guests coming in later."

After Chen Fan said this, Zhou Mingqi became excited.

Uncle Xiaofan is right!

If guests come in and see such a messy table, they will have a bad impression.

So the two of them wiped and washed, and were busy for a long time.

Mrs. Wei, along with her sisters and children, walked in the flower garden for a while before she felt pain in her calves.

The peonies in the flower garden are of different colors and shapes, and the beauty is endless.

"I think we should go home. We have already had all the sweet drinks and enjoyed all the beautiful scenery. I think the children are tired from playing. Let's make an appointment another day."

As soon as Madam Wei opened her mouth, the other ladies nodded one after another. They also felt sore legs and backs, and were very tired.

"Aunt, the peonies are blooming so beautifully. Jinse wants to pick a few and take them home to raise."

"You little girl, then go quickly and come back soon. We will wait for you at Tianshuipu." Mrs. Wei pinched Wei Jinse's nose and smiled indulgently.

"Okay, Jinse will be quick." Then Wei Jinse hopped away like a rabbit.

After waiting for a long time with no one entering the shop, Zhou Mingshu put down the spoon in his hand and came out from the kitchen to get some fresh air.

"Uncle Xiaofan, Second Sister, we got a big order today, which is a good start."

"That's right. To tell you the truth, this sweet water shop of ours is what I think it is. According to my prediction, it may make more money than our canteen."

Chen Fan talked to himself and raised a big thumbs up, which showed that he was quite confident.

"Haha, then I'll borrow Uncle Xiaofan's good words."

Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi burst into laughter.

Before the laughter of the few people had died down, Madam Wei and her companions leisurely walked into the hall.

"Boss, from what you just said, you can take out the sweet drinks in your store. I want to take a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus honey red bean paste and a bowl of water chestnut and snow fungus dumplings."

"Ma'am, please sit down for a moment. We will serve it to you right away."

Mrs. Wei smiled and sat down.

"Don't be anxious, don't panic, just be prepared."

After she finished speaking, she glanced into the flower bed and saw that her little monkey had no intention of coming back from the flower bed.

These two bowls of sweet water were brought to her old lady. The old lady was old and could not bear the fatigue of traveling by boat or by car. After such a long journey, her old bones would be broken.

Fortunately, this sweet soup shop allows take-out, otherwise she would have to take two servings back home in her own porcelain bowl.

After hearing the guests' requests, Zhou Mingshu immediately went to the kitchen to prepare meals.

Zhou Mingqi also took out the small porcelain jar that he had prepared early in the morning, cleaned it inside and out, and then steamed it dry in the oven for later use.

"Saya, are you ready? Do you want to stick on those stickers you wrote earlier?"

“It can be glued on now.”

Zhou Mingshu kept working and soon prepared the sweet water, and finally poured it into a porcelain jar.

Homemade sweetened water must taste good, and it must look good even when it’s taken out!

"Madam, if the sweet water in the jar is cold, you can warm it up with water."

Zhou Mingshu put the things on the table, just in time to remind the customers some precautions on how to use them.

"Okay, thank you for the reminder."

When Mrs. Wei saw that everything was ready and Jinse had returned, she signaled the shopkeeper to count the money.

Chen Fan counted all the things he had used with his mouth opening and closing, and the abacus in his hand began to clatter non-stop.

When he finished speaking, he stopped calculating on the abacus in his hand.

"Madam, you spent seven and a half ounces of silver."

"Okay, this is ten taels, no need to change."

"Okay, thank you ma'am for your kindness."

Chen Fan led the way for the ladies while expressing his gratitude.

But Zhou Mingqi behind him was surprised.

"San Ya, we just made a few bowls of sweet water and earned ten taels of silver? This is too much profit!"

Zhou Mingqi couldn't believe it. Even a whole pot of red bean paste couldn't be sold for less than ten taels of silver!

"Second sister, that's not just a few bowls of sweet water, it's twenty bowls! And there's also the cost of feeding the horses outside and the fresh peonies."

Zhou Mingshu wiped the sweat from her forehead. She didn't set the price of the sweet water too high because this group of people had too many other services and they ordered the best food and drinks.

"I know, I know, but overall, the money earned here is much more profitable than what grandma and the others make from selling vegetables."

"That's right. From the beginning, we opened this sweet water shop to target middle- and high-end people. Ordinary people won't come here to enjoy the scenery and drink tea."

What Zhou Mingshu wants to do is to do the business of those rich and powerful people and make their money.

She planned the flower garden from spring to winter, and all the manpower, material resources and financial resources needed were included in the sweet water shop. These are all costs!

Her sweet water is one of a million in the entire Daliang, and she is not afraid that anyone will criticize her price.

Madam Wei and her group walked out slowly. Not long after they went, they heard other horses neighing outside.

She lifted the curtain and glanced outside. Why did the person on the horse in the middle look so familiar? !

I put it behind the curtain and thought about it carefully. Isn't that General Qi Rui, the General of the Central Army?

Why is he here?

Are you also here to drink sweet water at this sweet water shop?

Madam Wei's mind was in turmoil. After a while, she seemed to have figured out some things and then she started laughing.

"Aunt, what are you laughing at? Did you remember something funny?"

Wei Jinse held a bouquet of peonies, her pretty face full of curiosity.

"Nothing, I just think it's worth it for us to come here to eat sweet water."

After hearing what her aunt said, Wei Jinse's eyes lit up.

"Aunt, if you think so too, let's come over to eat when we are free, hehe."

"You greedy girl, if you want to come over, just come over. Invite your friends along. I am an old man and I don't want to be with you youngsters. This will wear me out."

As Mrs. Wei spoke, she pretended to pat her waist.

How could Wei Jinse, such a clever little girl, understand? She quickly put down the peony flowers and came over to give Madam Wei a back massage.

"Well, that's more like it!"

Madam Wei hummed twice in comfort.

"Aunt, I remember my cousin is coming back soon. Let him come here to take a look. He loves writing poetry so much, he will definitely like this place."

"Haha, sure, sure. These are things that you young people are happy to do. Just discuss it and decide."

Madam Wei didn't want to think about these things now. Her husband had long wanted to establish a connection with someone higher up, but he had no suitable candidate or connections. So even though he had achievements, they were not well-known in the huge Chengzhou.
