The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

Xie Songlin asked Xie Wanxing to add some design drawings of tables, chairs and booths, and handed them to Xie Songmu, asking him to contact some carpenters to work with him to make everything he needed. The tea shop business was very important to him, so he decided to supervise it himself.

In fact, the decoration of the milk tea shop is relatively simple. It mainly adds some decorations and changes the layout. Xie Dachun helped him contact the craftsmen in the town, and Xie Songlin mainly supervises the placement of some major facilities in the store.

He found a shop in town that specialized in making storefronts. When he took out the design drawings, even the people in the shop were surprised. The color combination was indeed bold and eye-catching, but it did not fall into the trap of being tacky at all.

As for Xie Songmu, he knew that Xie Songlin needed these tables and chairs urgently, so he took a few carpenters he hired and worked overnight. After half a month, they finally made them all for him.

One day after the tables and chairs were put in place in the store, the door sign was finally delivered. It was the time when school was dismissed at noon, and many students were out looking for food. The fresh green door sign immediately attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as it was hung up. The students came forward and asked curiously what business this shop was doing.

Xie Songlin smiled, cupped his hands politely, and said, "Dear students, our shop sells some fresh tea drinks. It will open in two days. You are all welcome to come and taste them."

"Boss, your tea shop looks unique. We will definitely come to support it on the opening day." Many students exchanged pleasantries with him and agreed to come to support it on the opening day.

Xie Songlin quietly gazed at the shop with the sign hanging on it, his eyes full of scrutiny and thought. Although the shop had taken shape, he still felt that something was missing.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly understood. With a wave of his hand, he painted the door green and white, and finally felt relieved.

He asked Xie Songmu to help him carve some smooth wooden signs, which he took home to decide with Xie Wanxing on the tea to be sold and the prices, and also to think of a name.

After careful consideration, Xie Wanxing initially decided on a series of drinks.

First of all, the main attraction is the sour plum soup. Now that it is summer, the iced sour plum soup is undoubtedly the key to attracting customers. It is still sold at one cent a cup, which is affordable and can attract many customers.

Secondly, she selected some ingredients that were available in this era to make fruit tea iced drinks, such as black plum mulberry tea, apple hawthorn tea, etc. These fruit teas have rich tastes and unique flavors, and the raw materials can be found locally. When mixed with her ingredients, not only do they taste good, but supply is also not a problem. The price is slightly higher, selling for five cents a cup.

As a girl, Xie Wanxing was very considerate and also ordered hot drinks such as brown sugar date ginger tea, rose tea, jasmine tea, etc., which were also priced at five cents per cup. They were suitable for women to drink and could meet the needs of different customers.

Xie Songmu's previous bamboo bottles finally came in handy. The store's sour plum soup, fruit tea, and scented tea could all be taken away.

A deposit of three cents is required for each of these bamboo bottles. Customers can reuse them and replace them with new ones when they come to pack next time. They can also choose to use the bamboo bottles to refund the deposit.

Drinks such as sour plum soup can also be bottled in advance and then kept chilled. This way, when selling, there is no need to pour the soup, and customers can just take the bamboo bottles and give them to them. This also greatly improves efficiency. If there are many people, they can also reduce some pressure. The deposit method also ensures the recycling rate of bottles and reduces waste.

Finally, the highlight came. She rummaged through the space villa and found some Pu'er tea cakes. She had accumulated quite a few by daily scavenging. Pu'er tea, the shop's main attraction, was only available for dine-in, sold by the pot at a price of one hundred coins. This was aimed at those literati who wanted to sit down and chat over tea. For these literati, it wasn't just the taste of a cup of tea they sought, but also the tranquil atmosphere and cultural exchange.

The mellow taste and unique flavor of Pu'er tea can just meet their needs.

This time, Xie Wanxing only selected some Pu'er tea of relatively ordinary quality. As for those expensive teas, she had long-term plans and planned to keep them for later use.

However, supplies were relatively scarce in ancient times, and good tea was even harder to come by. Even tea that seemed ordinary to modern people was a rare good tea in ancient times. Xie Wanxing felt that the price she set was very reasonable.

Since Xie Wanxing is still illiterate and can only recognize the characters of this era but cannot write fluently, she only provided her name and price, and the step of copying them onto the wooden sign was completed by Xie Songlin.

The more Xie Songlin wrote, the more he felt that he had to send the children to the academy as soon as possible.

But even if Xie Lan and the others began their enlightenment now, it would be too late. He had previously inquired about some academies. The more rigorous academies would not accept children of this age who had not yet received enlightenment. The academies with less rigorous academic atmospheres would accept them, but there was no need for them to do so. Not only would they not learn well, they might also pick up bad habits.

Xie Songlin was consumed with worry. He had considered teaching himself, but after carefully combing through the memories left by his original self, he realized that his life in recent years had been completely disconnected from studying. After some thought, he decided not to mislead his children. He not only wanted all his children to go to school, but primarily, he wanted to give Xie Wanxing a legitimate reason to learn to read. He couldn't let his daughter remain illiterate in public for the rest of her life.

After listening to his troubles, Xie Wanxing offered a suggestion.

"Our shop is right across from the academy. Can't we go in and invite some students to teach my brother and the others?"

Xie Songlin's eyes lit up when he heard this. Working and studying has been around since ancient times. He felt that this method was not only feasible, but extremely feasible.

Hanfeng Academy had a rigorous academic atmosphere, with only the entrance exam score as the sole admission criterion. Consequently, many students from disadvantaged backgrounds studied there. Although the dean would exempt some outstanding students from the lower classes from tuition, everything still required money, including clothing and food.

Their shop occupies such a good geographical location, so of course they can just post a notice at the door and hire some poor students to teach Xie Lan and others in their spare time. The students of Hanfeng Academy are all outstanding students selected from hundreds of thousands, so it is more than enough to give them some enlightenment.

The shop doesn't have many staff now, so Xie Songbai's eldest daughter Xie Rou has been temporarily assigned to help make tea in the kitchen, and Xie Songmu's eldest son Xie Cheng is responsible for delivering some tea.

Xie Song also cleaned up the backyard and cleared out a side room to put a few sets of tables and chairs in it, which became a ready-made study. The three boys in the family and Xie Wanxing were sent to the shop to learn to read and study, and if the shop was busy, they could come out to help at any time.

The more Xie Songlin thought about it, the happier he became. He praised Xie Wanxing with a beaming face, "Our Ah Xing is so smart. I don't know who he got it from."

"I take after you, Daddy." Xie Wanxing understood and complimented him.

The father and daughter laughed together.
