Alright, she had changed from “Little Sister” to “Little Sister Ning”. At least she had leveled up.
Shopkeeper Qian only knew that it was Xiaoxiao who came forward to buy the shop, but he did not know that Xiaoxiao also had a share of the milk tea shop, nor did he expect that she was actually the one who set up this shop.
Seeing the surprise on his face, Ning Anhui pushed his sister forward again. -My sister keeps a low profile, so let’s not talk about others. Shopkeeper Qian, you’re familiar with us, so I won’t hide it from you. The Boss of our milk tea shop is my sister, Ning Xiaoxiao!”
Shopkeeper Qian: Eh!! (°A°)!!!!!
Qian Jiao’er also widened her eyes. At this moment, she decided to treat
Xiaoxiao as her goal.
Who said that women were inferior to men? Women could clearly thrive in their careers and leave those men far behind!
She did not mind that her father was indecisive and a good person, but she was really indignant that her father had made a good deal into a muddle. After the shop was sold, she had been thinking about how to remedy it. After knowing that “So It’s You’s” milk tea shop had created some “franchise”, she knew that her chance had come.
She had a clear understanding of herself. She did not have the ability to think of something new that others did not think of, but if the new thing was delivered to her door for her to learn, she could learn it even if she didn’t eat, drink, or sleep!
She changed her words again and turned around to face Xiaoxiao. She held her hand. “Hello, Boss Ning! I’m Qian Jiao’er. I’m hardworking and obedient.
Choose me!”
Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh, but she held it in. She felt the shallow calluses on Qian Jiao’er’s small hands and brought her to the kitchen. “Make some tea for me first.”
It was not pride, but Qian Jiao’er was familiar with this job.
She was proficient in everything. Her mother’s health had not been good since she was young. She took care of her mother and trained herself to be an expert at housework. To put it bluntly, her mother’s sewing skills were not as good as hers now.
Ning Anhui and Shopkeeper Qian were waiting outside. Seeing that business was a little busy, Shopkeeper Qian even consciously helped out.
Putting everything else aside, he did not neglect his proficiency in greeting people. In addition, the price of milk tea had been set long ago. It was difficult to make a mistake at five copper coins a cup. The two of them really had a tacit understanding when they worked together.
Shopkeeper Qian regained the feeling of being in charge of the counter and imparted some business tactics, benefiting Ning Anhui greatly.
When Xiaoxiao and Qian Jiao’er came out of the kitchen, they realized that the two of them were chatting happily. They simply went to make two simple snacks and let Qian Jiao’er sit down and rest.
There was no problem with Shopkeeper Qian, but where could they find the next partner?
Just as she was thinking about this, Li Muyan personally brought Shopkeeper Xu to the door. Xiaoxiao’s eyes curved into crescents. Ah, did she get a cheat that allowed her to get whatever she wanted? She could receive whatever she wanted.
As she had expected, Li Muyan and Shopkeeper Xu came here to seek cooperation.
Shopkeeper Xu said half-truthfully, “Little Girl Ning, you’re being unkind. You said that you would think of me first if there was such a good thing in the future. Why did you let me hear it from others?”
Li Muyan went to Ning Anhui’s place and ordered two cups of tea and two Taro Cake Rolls.
Xiaoxiao waved her hand and waived the bill for them. “I saw that you were busy and planned to tell you later.”
Shopkeeper Xu became happy. “Does that mean that I, Old Xu, have a share in this franchise shop?”
Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously. “Of course. We can’t do it without you. Otherwise, wouldn’t Shopkeeper Liu come and knock on my head again?” Shopkeeper Xu, who was middle-aged, actually blushed and looked a little shy. Clearly, his relationship with Shopkeeper Liu had made substantial progress recently. Although he was embarrassed, he was still thinking about serious matters. “I see from your instructions that you want to impart the formula of the milk tea to the franchise shops?”
He frowned. “Aren’t you afraid that they will buy your formula for 200 taels of silver and sell it to others?”
Xiaoxiao knew that Shopkeeper Xu was really worried for her. She shook her head. “It’s fine. I’ve already considered this.”
She said bluntly, “If I lose, we all lose. If I gain, we all gain. I’ll explain this to the shopkeepers who signed up later. I don’t mind if someone really values small profits and sells them, but they won’t have a share in the subsequent updates.”
If everyone kept the secret together, everyone could earn money.
If someone leaked the secret, everyone would suffer. Hence, Xiaoxiao did not need to spend much effort on this matter. The shopkeepers would supervise each other.
It did not matter if they really could not supervise one another. After all, she was not doing this for money, but for points.
They had the same philosophy in business, so it was especially smooth to chat. After Xiaoxiao and Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Qian agreed on the details, they signed the contract and Xiaoxiao asked them to choose the people who wanted to learn skills. After choosing the shop, they could arrange for people to learn skills while preparing to open the shop.
Shopkeeper Xu and the others were about to leave when they were stopped by Xiaoxiao. “Young Master Li, are you only going to open one milk tea shop? Initially, Xiaoxiao had the thought of slowly choosing a partner, but she suddenly lost her patience when she saw Li Muyan.
Why would she still need to look for those unorthodox people when the richest man in Jiangnan, who had shops everywhere, was right here?
Li Muyan misunderstood her. “Miss Ning, don’t worry. I’m a principled businessman. I won’t leak this milk tea formula to anyone else in the future.” Xiaoxiao shook her finger. “You’re mistaken. What I mean is, why don’t you open a few more shops?”
Xiaoxiao said, “Think about it. What’s the point of opening so many shops in the county? It’s just a fight between our own people. How good would it be if we opened shops in other places and there’s no competition between us?” “Moreover, it’s much simpler for you to open a milk tea shop than others. Shopkeeper Qian still has to look for a shop, but you only need to add a takeaway booth outside the various Fragrance Restaurants. You can open it at any time. You can also promote the consumption of the Fragrance Restaurant.” Ning Anhui was still selling milk tea. He couldn’t help but say in his heart, The Great Hoodwinker is here!
Li Muyan also discussed it with her seriously. “Miss Ning, do you know where the main business of the Li Family is?”
Xiaoxiao replied, “The Imperial Capital.”
She smiled. “From the county to the Imperial Capital, it’s nothing more than changing the rough tea to Da Hong Pao and charging five copper coins to 50 copper coins.”
Li Muyan was still hesitating when she said, “Summer is here. Other than milk tea, it’s time to release some new dishes.”
Not long after, Li Muyan cupped his hands. “From the looks of it, I’ve benefited from Miss Ning.”
Ning Anhui was stunned when he heard that. It was only when Li Muyan returned in the afternoon and handed over eight franchise contracts saying that he wanted to work with them for a long time that he realized something. “We’ve gathered 10 shops just like that?”
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. “What do you mean by that? I’m just prioritizing quality over quantity.”
Ning Anhui still found it strange.. “Even the young master of the richest family in Jiangnan is fooled by you?”
