Chapter 473: One 'Milk' Stands Between Heaven and

other, who doesn't think about her sons or feel sorry for them!"Mother, are we going to recognize our eldest brother" Li Lao San rubbed his hands, a little anxious.Go and invite Dr. Zhang, have him ta...That would involve reducing the portion size of rice and making buns smaller.

When students are ordering their meals, ask them if they would like an extra scoop of rice or a small steamed bun if needed.

If it's not needed, don't give it.

Thus, it cannot be said that waste is completely avoided, but to some extent, the problem of waste can be alleviated.

Upon hearing Li Lao San recount the tale of his food tickets, everyone beamed with joy.

Today Zhao Yuru was in charge of collecting the money. She was so happy she almost clapped her hands and exclaimed, "This is a great method! It saves me the trouble of counting copper coins. Even now, I'm still counting one, two, three in my head!"

With the two major problems solved, everyone felt relieved and went about their business.

It was lunchtime that had passed, but the ingredients for dinner still needed to be prepared, especially some dumplings should be made to give the students a change of taste.

But you don't need to prepare too much, because school is over in the late afternoon. With two hours of free time, students will definitely go out to play. Few people are willing to come back for dinner.

It's a shame that everyone still underestimated the charm of the new dining hall. As soon as school was out, students once again gathered with their books in the small garden. They chatted and laughed while discussing their studies, making it quite lively.

Outside there was no room, so someone went into the dining hall, found a quiet corner, and read while waiting to eat. Perhaps they hoped to finish their meal early and return to school.

Li Laosan saw this and quickly boiled water for tea, but the canteen only had two sets of teacups.

You can make multiple trips for the teapot and pour it several times, but teacups cannot be shared.

He had no choice but to take a clean porcelain bowl as a substitute.

The students were very polite and thanked them one after another.

First, tea is free. Second, sipping tea while admiring flowers and enjoying the spring breeze is even more relaxing.

After a good afternoon nap at Sun's second sister-in-law's room, Jia Yin was woken up by the noises outside. She then crawled to the window to see what was going on.

Looking and looking, a new idea popped into her head.

Before, inside and outside the university, what sold best besides food was drink.

In summer, we sell iced fruit drinks, and in winter, we sell hot milk tea. We also offer regular tea on weekdays.

With so many students in the academy, even if we just calculate one cup per person per day, the profit would be two cash coins. In a month, that's over ten taels!

These ten or so are not too many, but they are certainly not few.

To know a sturdy laborer, hard work for a month, the wages are only one or two silver taels.

Besides, this is a small business backed by the canteen's large tree. It has low costs, and even if it shuts down at any time, there wouldn't be much loss.

Besides, students are accustomed to gathering here, chatting and having a drink. This also helps to maintain the popularity of the canteen.

Thinking this way, she hugged her grandma and cried out to go back to the small courtyard.

Old Li originally saw her granddaughter wake up without making a fuss, so she stayed by her side. Now that she saw the kitchen was about to get busy, she couldn't help, so she tidied up her granddaughter's clothes and called Shui Ling and Grandma He to leave.

Wenjuan was preparing dinner with her maid, Xiaoyue. Seeing her grandmother and younger sister return, she inquired about the business at the dining hall.

She was both happy and overwhelmed to hear that business was booming.

Xiaoyue was lively, jumping and clapping her hands, shouting: "Let those people on the street have a good look! They said our family was bragging and wouldn't get tongue-tied. How could we possibly take their business after the canteen opened Now they are probably so scared their guts will turn green!"

"It's almost dinner time, and the academy gate is open. Only a few students are coming out. They have been crying for days! Where are their children"

Lao Li frowned and glanced at her daughter-in-law, saying, "We can just talk about this among ourselves. Don't say it outside, it's easy to make people hate us."

Wenjuan also scolded Xiaoyue, "What nonsense are you talking about Your mouth is run wild, and you're not even going to cook!"

Little Yue stuck out her tongue and quickly ran away.

Jia Yin still really liked Wen Juan as her sister-in-law, and didn't want her to be embarrassed. So she stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I thought of a good business, to send you wealth!"

Wénjuān laughed, bent down to hug her younger sister-in-law, and didn't take it too seriously. She replied, "Alright, when your sister-in-law gets rich, I'll buy you a gold bangle, a solid one!"

Jia Yin covered her face, it's well-known that she likes solid gold bracelets...

"That night, my sister-in-law and I brainstormed some delicious meals together. I did the talking, and she did the cooking!"

Jia Yin hugged Wen Juan's neck, making her giggle.

Soon, Shui Ling was sent out to buy things.

Actually, what Jia Yin needs is not something new and unique, but rather a variety of things.

Grandmother He was afraid that Shui Ling would have trouble buying things alone, so she followed along as well.

As soon as the two left, Tao Hongying and Jiahuan rushed back from the city.

The tavern's business was getting better and better, but Jia Huan was still a cautious person, afraid that someone might secretly sabotage them.

So, when Uncle wasn't at the pub during the day, he would stay over.

Even though Lu'an was so close to the new capital, he only returned every three or five days.

Tao Hongying remembered her mother-in-law and daughter, finished cooking a private dish, helped out for a while, and returned home with her family.

Jia Yin first kissed her old mother, then ran over happily, calling out to her second brother.

Jiahuan held his younger sister and walked a few circles in the yard, playing for a while. Only when Jia Yin jumped down did he pull his brother's hand and walk toward Wen Juan, "Sister-in-law, I'm giving you back my second brother."

Wenjuan flushed bright red, then ran into the kitchen. Jia Yin giggled uncontrollably and was tickled by her equally embarrassed brother.

Soon, dinner was served and the family of five finished their meal. Tao Hongying and Jiahu were thinking about the canteen over there, so they hurried to help out.

At this time, Grandma He and Shui Ling also brought back the things they bought.

Gunpowder, brown sugar, mid-grade black tea, honey, two jin of red adzuki beans, a small basket of wild strawberries, and a small bucket of milk.

The previous few kinds were not hard to buy, only this milk, which He Grandma and Shui Ling ran to a small farm outside the town to get.

This Zhuangzi's milk is sent to the city for those noble people to use for washing their faces and bathing. Hearing that He Mama and Shui Ling wanted to buy it, they immediately squeezed out a bucketful.

Two people want to give money, the other party hasn't asked for it yet, they only think that they are families with children who haven't had milk to drink!

Jia Yin hugged Grandma's neck and gave her a difficult task, "Grandma, help me and my sister-in-law guard the door. We need to secretly research the recipe. We'll give you something good to drink later."

"Alright, go on then. Grandma will just sit by the door," Li Laotai patted her granddaughter, her eyes filled with affection. "There's a saying, 'One who nurses you is your closest kin, an impenetrable wall against all.' "

“Haha!” Jia Yin was tickled to laughter, hugging her grandmother tightly and showering her with kisses before dragging her sister-in-law into the kitchen.

Summer is just around the corner, actually Jia Yin prefers iced fruit drinks over milk tea.

If other households are still worried, after all, there are ice cellars in the city, but the selling price of ice is too expensive.

But the Li family wasn't afraid. You see, at Xiankelai, they would have entire ships of seafood transported from the south, almost half the ship filled with ice. The level of extravagance was such that it always made their competitors envious.

That's because the Li family can make ice themselves!

Previously, only Li Zhensheng and a clerk who had signed a death contract knew the recipe. Later, Jia Yi and Liu Yang helped out when the clerk was overwhelmed, and they learned it as well.

Now, telling sister-in-law Wenjuan, Jiayin doesn't think it's a big deal either...nce. Everyone suddenly felt that the child had grown up a lot.Just like little fledglings, they have already begun to practice flapping their wings, and soon they will be able to take flight.Mrs. Liu...
