Chapter 475: The Master Opens the Door, But Cultivation Depe
long, and now that I've received Brother Wen's help, there will surely be a day when I can repay him."The old woman and Li Laoer both started laughing.Mr. Chiang is indeed a magnanimous person, not b...When Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru saw this, what else could they say
Last night, they definitely drank too much.
Soon after breakfast, Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying hurried to the dining hall.
Wenjuan brought Xiaoyue, Grandma He, and Shuiling together. They wanted to prepare some extra things and deliver them to the canteen before school ended at the academy.
Then, we can see the students' reactions and find out if the new product suits their taste!
As the saying goes, "A master leads you to the door, but your practice is up to you." After sleeping one night, Jia Yin's freshness towards milk tea faded. She simply became a hands-off manager.
This little business on the side is also given to my sister-in-law Wenjuan, so let her do whatever she wants with it.
Jia Yin was just about to take her grandmother out for a stroll when Mr. Wen and Li Lao Er unexpectedly showed up.
Li Laotai was also startled, fearing something had happened at home.
As a result, Li Laoer said, "There's nothing to do at home. It's Jia Ren and Li Ge who are going to take the exam for Tongsheng tomorrow. My wife and Mr. Wen came to have a look, and we'll return to the city together tomorrow."
"This fast Isn't the exam still a few days away" Li Laotai couldn't believe it, she calculated with her fingers and sighed.
These days, with the focus on the cafeteria, the whole family has been running around and we've really neglected the two children.
The day of the exam is, as expected, tomorrow.
Jiārén this child is also sensible, didn't take the initiative to say a word. He must be seeing that the family is busy and doesn't want to bother them with him.
But this child doesn't think about how there are other things at home that could be more important than their exam!
Jia Yin was also worried, so she quickly ran to instruct Xiao Yue and He Grandma a few words. In the afternoon, send milk tea to the academy, and be sure to say a few more things, “New drinks, please taste carefully, don't drink too much.”
Especially for students taking exams tomorrow, it's best to avoid drinking alcohol for safety reasons. If you feel unwell anywhere, it could affect your exam performance the next day, which would be a major issue.
Mr. Wen and Lao Er Li were quite curious upon hearing this, so they also tried the milk tea and fruit drinks.
They both skipped breakfast this morning, and now that the warm milk tea was down their throats, their stomachs felt much better. So, the two of them showered praise on the milk tea.
Similarly, after school in the afternoon, students with a little hunger sat in the dining hall's small garden, chatting and waiting for dinner, when suddenly a pot of milk tea appeared. Everyone was immediately captivated by this fragrant and invigorating drink that refreshed their appetites.
To everyone's surprise, including Li Laosan and the others, milk tea turned out to be more popular than iced beverages.
But don't worry, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, maybe iced drinks will become popular again!
Wenjuan spent the entire afternoon fidgeting nervously, afraid of messing up the business and wasting her younger sister's kindness.
Finally, in the late afternoon, Xiaoyue came panting back from the dining hall, excitedly calling out, "Miss, Miss, all the milk tea is gone, it's even more popular than fruit drinks."
Wenjuan instantly beamed with joy, picking up Jia Yin and twirling around happily.
In the house, Jia Ren and Li Ge were chatting with Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen gave them some details about the exam and also gave them "tranquilizers" to calm their nerves.
"This exam tests only the basics. As long as you study hard for three years, you will definitely pass. Your foundation is very good, don't be nervous, you won't make a mistake."
Jiā Rén and Lǐ Gē'er both rose to their feet and bowed, expressing their gratitude. Hearing that Mr. Wēn would be accompanying them for the exam tomorrow, they felt even more at ease.
Jixiang, Ji'an and the cat had no exams to take. They had just drunk fruit drinks and really liked them. Now they were thinking of trying milk tea.
Unfortunately, Li Laotai was worried that they would drink too much and sleep late, delaying the sleep of Jia Ren and Li Ge'er as well. So, she kept a close eye on the three of them, occasionally glaring at them as a warning.
The three youngsters shrank their necks, looking dejected. After eating, they hurried back to the academy.
There are also buddies at the academy to play soccer with. Staying home and being watched by grandma is really scary.
That's why there's the saying "the further away something is, the more desirable it seems, and the closer it gets, the less appealing it becomes." They missed their grandmother so much before, but now that she's been living with them for less than half a month, they aren't as fond of her anymore...
The next morning, the academy sent two masters with over twenty students taking the entrance exam into the city.
The students' enrollment records and household registration were sent to the academy long ago. Today is just the examination day.
The whole Li family, young and old, had been preoccupied all day long, doing everything absentmindedly.
Li Laotai even brought her granddaughter to the town entrance to look out several times, her neck was about to be stretched.
As dusk settled, finally, the academy's carriages returned.
Both the examiner and the students wore smiles, clearly indicating that the exam went well.
Jia Ren and Li Ge'er got out of the car first and accompanied Grandma and his younger sister home.
Mrs. Li was overjoyed to hear that both her grandsons had been admitted on the spot, and that her elder grandson's calligraphy had even received praise from the examiner. She couldn't contain her happiness.
That evening, as Li Laosan, Zhao Yuru, and Tao Hongying were waiting to return from the canteen, a banquet was set up in the courtyard.
A few members of their own family, seven or eight people, gathered together to celebrate a small occasion.
Jiaren and Liguer also took leave today, so they can stay home tonight. They are here now as well.
Old Li, half-drunk, held their hands and secretly wiped away her tears.
“I can finally face your grandfather! When the eldest son passed the imperial examination, our family was overjoyed. But he... I cried for over ten years! Now that our family is doing well and you all have achieved success, even if I died immediately, I would be content.”
Everyone understood the old woman's feelings, but they didn't dare to persuade her further, fearing that it would make her cry even harder.
So, they quickly changed the subject and began talking about the milk tea business.
Wenjuan usually takes care of the household, so she definitely can't go to the cafeteria to sell milk tea.
Thankfully, red bean paste needs to be cooked at home, ice needs to be prepared at home, and brown sugar and tea leaves also need to be brewed at home.
Then Xiaoyue will help with the transportation back and forth. The school just needs someone to temporarily mix and heat them up for sale.
For now, Zhao Yuru and others will help out by selling for a while before and after dinner. If the business is doing well, they will gradually look for suitable candidates to take over.
This is settled. As for the canteen, tomorrow we'll set up a small thatched hut in a corner of the garden. With some flowers and plants as decoration, it'll be perfect as a small sales point.
Wenjuan was excited and delighted. Finally, she had a job to do!
But when it came to the earned money, she insisted on giving her younger sister-in-law half of it, saying she only needed the wages.
But this little money-grubber, Jia Yin, has been pursuing too many financial paths these years. She really doesn't need this extra bit.
She had originally only intended to liven up the canteen and set up a small business for her second sister-in-law. She never planned on getting involved herself.
So, she firmly refused and said, "I don't want to. Second sister-in-law earns money to buy delicious food, fatten him up, and give me a nephew to play with!"
Wén Juān and Jiā Huān both argued to a great red face, but the crowd laughed instead.
In the end, Old Lady Li made the decision. "Let's just listen to Fu Niao. If Wenjuan is truly grateful, when she earns money later, have her sew a few dresses for your sister."
Wén Juān couldn't delay any longer, she made up her mind to work hard and repay her family for their care and love...
The next day, Old Li got everything ready to return to Broken Gold Beach.
When the time came, she couldn't keep it to herself any longer. She was eager to share the good news with everyone, after all, both her grandsons were doing well.
Jia Yin also missed home, so Li Lao Tai called up Tao Hongying, packed their luggage, and took along He Mamama and Shui Ling. The group set off.
Two light showers had fallen before, and the fields were not short of water. The crops were growing vigorously.
It's only been a few days, but looking from afar, the fields have transformed from pale green to lush emerald. It seems as if the spring breeze has brought with it an abundance of vibrant life.
As soon as Li's carriage stopped at the gate, the gate of Cui's house next door opened.
Mrs. Cui unexpectedly walked out from inside. Perhaps she hadn't slept well, or maybe she was ill, her expression looked rather haggard...
