Chapter 79 Wanting to Get a Nosebleed

Children are most afraid of their parents or elders getting sick.

Li Shuchen then asked Chu Xia, "What are you doing?"

Chu Xia replied, "I saw Miss sitting here eating oranges, and I thought Miss might be craving something sweet, so I thought I'd make some ginger milk curd for Miss to satisfy her craving."

Li Shuchen: "Ginger milk curd?"

To be honest, she had never eaten it.

Early Summer: "Yes, I made this at home by chance when I had nothing to do before. Miss, you can eat it in a little while."

Chu Xia squeezed ginger juice into the bottom of the bowl, then poured in hot milk. She then covered the bowl completely with a plate before moving on to other tasks.

Li Shuchen was puzzled. "Is that all? Is it that simple?"

After about two cups of tea's time (ten minutes), Chu Xia came over, lifted the plate, and placed a spoon on the bowl. The spoon did not sink.

Chu Xia said, "Miss, it's time to eat."

Li Shuchen quickly got up and took a bite. It was fragrant, smooth, milky, and slightly spicy, with a unique flavor.

I couldn't help but nod: "Delicious!"

What kind of sparks will fly when ginger milk curd is combined with melons, fruits, and shaved ice?

Without hesitation, Li Shuchen took some oranges, mashed them into juice, and then took some ice cubes, crushing them into small pieces.

She took a small glass bowl, filled the bottom with ginger milk curd, poured orange juice over it, added a few orange segments, and topped it with crushed ice. Li Shuchen also garnished it with two mint leaves.

Early summer: "Beautiful"

Li Shuchen couldn't wait to try the flavor. It was rich in orange aroma, mixed with milky fragrance, and with a touch of ginger juice for a slightly spicy kick. On this hot summer day, it was refreshing and invigorating, not greasy at all.

Li Shuchen: "You all come and try some!"

Cook Wang: "Novel"

Wang Shuang'er: Unique

Early Summer: "Delicious, miss! I think we can start selling these now."

Li Shuchen also felt that this was about right.

"Okay, the citrus fruits are settled then. You can research the rest yourselves, just follow the general approach I've outlined."

In the afternoon, Li Shuchen invited Gu Ziying, Princess Changning, Liang Yuying, and a few others to the 'Four Beauties Fresh Fruit' shop.

To discuss the layout and planning, Li Shuchen went to the store first, took out her pen and paper, and began to draw and study.

The five types of fruit are divided into separate areas, with counters and aisles.

Soon, the other three also arrived.

Li Shuchen: "You're here! Come and see how my design looks!"

Gu Ziying: "The counter could be larger, ideally large enough to accommodate three people at the same time for billing."

If there are many customers and they have to wait too long to pay, it will leave a bad impression on our shop. Besides, the weather is hot and people are restless. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to handle.

Li Shuchen knew that Ziying was worried about the crowd causing trouble, which would indeed have a negative impact on the shop, so he nodded in agreement.

Li Shuchen: "The counter needs to be enlarged and lengthened, and needs to be custom-made. Can it be completed before the 15th?"

Gu Ziying: "Yes, craftsman Kong has many people at his disposal; he can definitely finish it in time."

Li Shuchen thought about Kong Gonggong's disciples and realized there was indeed no need to worry.

Princess Changning: "Where should the ice block be placed?"

Li Shuchen opened a hidden compartment in a wooden table beside him: "Put ice here, and place the fruits on top. This will keep the fruits fresh without damaging them, and it will also prevent waste."

Princess Changning: "That's a good idea."

Li Shuchen grinned: "You flatter me, you flatter me."

Liang Yuying looked at the blueprints and said, "Watermelons are eye-catching, and many people will come just for them. Instead of putting them at the entrance, why not put them at the back of the shop and switch places with the tangerines?"

This way, people who want to buy watermelons will still buy watermelons, and citrus fruits will have more opportunities to be seen and thus sold to customers.

Everyone agreed, saying that Yuying's words made perfect sense.

Li Shuchen: "Okay, arrange it according to Yuying's wishes."

Five wooden platforms, each containing a different type of fruit.

Li Shuchen: "The shop's layout is almost complete. Tomorrow, Yuying will go with me to the orchard to transport the fruits, while Ziying and Changning will stay at the shop to provide support."

"Good"*3

The next morning, Li Shuchen dressed simply and neatly; she had work to do that day and it wasn't appropriate to dress up. Liang Yuying came to pick her up.

Upon arriving at the orchard, the girls, about twenty in number, were already there. Seeing Li Shuchen, they all greeted her.

Caiyi waved to Li Shuchen: "Miss Li, it's been a long time."

Li Shuchen waved in response: "Hey everyone, it's been so long! I've missed you all so much!"

Caiyi pouted and said, "You missed us, but you didn't come looking for us."

Li Shuchen: "Sigh, we've met now, haven't we? I've been incredibly busy lately."

Caiyi: "Hmph, those are just excuses."

Li Shuchen: "Alright, alright, I'll treat everyone to some fruit as an apology."

Entering the fruit farm

Li Shuchen: "Pick whichever one you like and eat it."

Upon hearing this, everyone remained still, including Caiyi.

Li Shuchen asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Don't you want to eat?"

Coco replied, "I want to eat them, but I want to make money even more. These fruits are expensive and can be sold for a lot of money."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen laughed and said, "Okay."

Everyone knows making money is good.

Uncle Cao and his team were already picking the fruits and vegetables. Baskets of them were placed in the shade, covered with damp cotton cloths to prevent them from wilting in the sun.

Li Shuchen: "Brother Zhao, you can move the fruit baskets onto the carriage now."

Zhao Tianchuan waved his hand: "Brothers, do as Miss Li says."

Liang Yuying also directed the girls to move the fruit baskets onto the carriages. Each carriage could hold six baskets of fruit, and a total of six carriages were used, which wasn't much.

Li Shuchen thought he should test the waters first and see how sales went before making any further plans.

After everything was set up, everyone was sweating profusely. Li Shuchen came out of the kitchen and called out...

"Everyone, come and have some mung bean soup to cool off! It's served with ice."

"Here it comes"*n

Liang Yuying didn't come over; she was checking each carriage to make sure it was securely loaded, not caring that sweat was rolling down her forehead.

Li Shuchen brought over a bowl of soup: "Yuying, have some mung bean soup, it's good for cooling down and relieving summer heat."

Liang Yuying turned around and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Shu Chen."

She then took the mung bean soup and drank it all in one gulp, her movements graceful and swift. Her slender neck was so fair and flawless that Li Shuchen almost had a nosebleed.

In the middle of summer, how come she's so fair-skinned and beautiful? I'm so envious.

Li Shuchen blankly accepted the bowl from Yu Ying and replied, "You're welcome."

On the way back, the four girls guarded one carriage. Li Shuchen was in the first carriage, and Liang Yuying was in the last carriage, guarding the fruits and vegetables.

Li Shuchen kept a close eye on the road, fearing a robbery, and was on tenterhooks the entire way.

However, not many people knew she owned a fruit farm, and even fewer had been there. It should be relatively safe for now. Only after safely arriving at the backyard of the Simei Fresh Fruit shop did Li Shuchen finally relax.

Gu Ziying came out from the inner door and said, "You've arrived. Was your journey alright?"

Li Shuchen jumped off the carriage and replied, "It's fine, no one's robbing us."

Li Shuchen went to the shop but didn't see Princess Changning. Normally she would have come out to talk to her by now. Could it be that she had a falling out with Ziying?
