Traveling through ancient times to get rid of poverty, the whole network sends me express delivery

Shen Wanning watched them finish their milk tea and asked impatiently, "How do you feel, Mom and Dad? How about adding some toppings to this milk tea?"

Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up. "That's right, this food and drink combined can be used as both a meal and a snack."

"Red beans are sweet and soft. When paired with milk tea, they have the fragrance of tea and the frankincense of milk. Compared to pure milk tea, it is really novel," Lin Dashan exclaimed.

Hearing them say this, the three little ones urged, "Dad and Mom, you guys try it too, quickly."

"You little bastards, I think you want to eat it!" Lin Jingcheng scolded with a smile and added some condiments to his bowl.

Others followed suit and added their favorite toppings.

Lin Jiang and Lin He added both of the condiments and started eating with big mouthfuls of the spoon.

Lin Hu didn't move. He raised his head and looked at Shen Wanning, "Auntie, can you give me another bowl?"

"Huh? What's the matter? Why do you need another bowl?" Shen Wanning asked, but still took a bowl for him.

"I don't know which topping I like better, so I'm going to try them all." After saying that, Lin Hu divided the milk tea in his bowl into two halves, adding a spoonful of purple glutinous rice to one bowl and a spoonful of red beans to the other bowl.

This action left Lin He stunned. He pretended to be flattering and said, "Auntie, I didn't expect it to be like this. Can I have another drink?"

"You, don't be in a hurry. Auntie will make more condiments in the future, and you will definitely have the opportunity to try them." Shen Wanning said this as a rejection.

It's night time now, and eating too much sugar is really not good for them.

"Well, Xiaohu, is your second brother usually treat you well?" Lin He set his sights on Lin Hu again.

Lin Hu usually remained silent, but at this moment he became clever, "Second brother is good to me, but you can't let him drink this milk tea, otherwise his teeth will be damaged."

His words made everyone laugh.

After trying the milk tea with red beans and purple glutinous rice, my family members are generally in favor of it. Most of them like the red bean version, while only a few like the purple glutinous rice version.

"By the way, Mom, can you and Dad help me buy some cassava flour tomorrow? We should buy more now that every household is making cassava flour. We're afraid that there won't be enough cassava flour left after they finish eating it." Shen Wanning said again.

"Cassava flour? Don't we have plenty of it at home? We haven't eaten cassava flour since we dried it. There are several big bags of it. What's the matter? Wan Ning, do you want to eat something made with cassava flour?" Aunt Zhang asked in confusion.

"No, Mom, this tapioca flour can be made into little balls and added to milk tea. They taste even better than purple glutinous rice and red beans!"

"Okay, Wan Ning, if you say it's okay, then it must be okay. Your father and I will go to the village tomorrow to ask and bring back more cassava flour." Aunt Zhang replied.

It was getting darker and darker, and it was pitch dark. After everyone finished washing up, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Shen Wanning lay in bed, still pondering the various toppings available in modern milk tea shops. Currently, there were glutinous rice and red beans, and later, tapioca flour could be used to make tapioca pearls and taro balls. Finally, she thought, there was pudding.

But pudding requires an oven, which wasn't feasible in ancient times. If she had to choose a substitute, cutting ice jelly into small pieces would work. She remembered seeing Ficus pumila fruit in the mountains before.

When I have time in the next few days, I will go to the mountains to look for it. If there are ficus carica fruits, I will pick some and bring them back. When I rub the ficus carica seeds later, I will rub them into the milk. In this way, it will look similar to pudding.

As usual, the Lin brothers and Shen Wanning went to the county to sell milk tea. With He Zhenzhen's lead yesterday, many women saw them setting up a stall and immediately sent their maids and servants to buy milk tea.

Half of the milk tea sold today was taken home. They sold out of milk tea at just 11 o'clock.

After lunch, she went to Zui Xiang Lou. Today, she wanted to discuss the possibility of buying a shop with Shopkeeper Yang. If it didn't work out, Shen Wan Ning could look for other shops.

Unlike before, this time when entering Zui Xiang Lou, Shopkeeper Yang was restless and paced back and forth in the lobby.

Xiaoshu stood in front of the counter, supporting his chin with his hands, watching Manager Yang turning around in boredom.

"Hey, Miss Shen, you are here. Please come in, please come in." As soon as Xiaoshu saw them appear at the door, he instantly became energetic and hurried over to greet them.

Shopkeeper Yang, who was wandering around, stopped and turned to greet her. "Miss Shen, are you here so early today?"

"The milk tea was sold out early today. My two brothers and I came here after lunch." Shen Wanning replied, giving some explanation.

"Miss Shen and the two Mr. Lins, please take a seat." He then turned to Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, serve the tea quickly."

Shen Wanning sat down without hesitation, knowing that Shopkeeper Yang was too embarrassed to speak directly. So she asked first, "I wonder what Shopkeeper Yang thinks about yesterday's incident?"

Shopkeeper Yang sighed, "I'll discuss this with my wife when I get home. She supports me selling the restaurant. We're struggling to make ends meet, and we can't even provide for our family. What's the point of keeping this restaurant? But does Miss Shen still stand by what she said yesterday about Xiaoshu and I staying at the restaurant?"

Shen Wanning nodded. "Of course. Although I'm a woman, I know that a gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

"Okay, then I agree to sell this restaurant to Miss Shen today. Miss Shen, originally according to the market price, my restaurant can be sold for more than three hundred taels without any problem. Now, to thank Miss Shen for keeping us two, I will sell it at a lower price. How about three hundred taels?" Shopkeeper Yang negotiated.

"In that case, thank you very much, Shopkeeper Yang. What I said before remains unchanged. Shopkeeper Yang is still the official shopkeeper of the shop."

Shopkeeper Yang took out the deed, opened it, and read it again and again. "This is the deed to the restaurant. From now on, this restaurant belongs to Miss Shen."

Shen Wanning pulled three hundred taels of silver from her sleeve, handed it to Shopkeeper Yang, and then took the deed. "Here are three hundred taels of silver. Thank you, Shopkeeper Yang, for giving me this."

Shopkeeper Yang sighed, took the banknote, and bowed to Shen Wanning, "Boss."

"Manager Yang, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Miss Shen. I wonder if Manager Yang could take me around the restaurant. I want to see its layout."

Then, Shen Wanning followed Shopkeeper Yang around the restaurant. The restaurant had two floors, with the lobby, kitchen, and front desk located on the ground floor. From the kitchen, there was a backyard with two side rooms and a storeroom.

What surprised Shen Wanning was that there was a well in the backyard and water was still coming out of the well, which solved the big problem of water use.
