Chapter 187: Cooperation Method

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As she was a female and had a special identity, Xiaoxiao was receiving Mrs. Shen in the guest room. She was not a serious person to begin with. At this moment, she took a sip of milk tea and a bite of cake. As she ate and drank, she became limp and lazy like a cat.

The place she was at was not the usual tables and chairs for guests. Instead, it was a small sofa that Xiaoxiao had made based on a bean bag. It was filled with rags and cotton, and she did not want to get up after sitting down.

“Will this shop specialize in selling milk tea and Cloud Cake in the future?”

Xiaoxiao refilled her cup of tea. “I was just about to tell you about this.”

Mrs. Shen immediately wanted to sit up straight, but she realized that her hands were busy, so it was difficult for her to adjust her sitting posture. She decided to continue leaning and lay on the small sofa as though it was a chaise lounge. “What do you mean?”

It was difficult for her to insist on holding the teacup and cake in this magical position. Xiaoxiao no longer had any sense of distance from this official’s wife. She took the things from Mrs. Shen in amusement and asked, “The milk tea is indeed sold in this shop, but I want to do the business of Cloud Cake with you, Madam.”

Mrs. Shen was overjoyed, but she still tried her best to ask reservedly, “Eh, why?”

Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Because with Little Big Brother Yan’s and my abilities now, we can’t guarantee that there will be ice to preserve the ingredients at any time and place, and the production and preservation of Cloud Cake must satisfy this condition.”

She added, “You were the one who got the milk for the milk tea, Mrs. Shen. I’ll feel guilty if I still accept your help for the Cloud Cake for nothing.”

Mrs. Shen felt that she was honest, but at the same time, she felt that she was too honest.

“Then can’t the three of us work together?”

Xiaoxiao wagged her finger. “Three of us will be too complicated. It’s not easy to settle the accounts.”

“Moreover, I want to do business with Madam specifically targeting women. It’s not convenient for Little Big Brother Ah Yan to participate.”

Mrs. Shen’s eyes were filled with teasing. “Are you reluctant to let others covet your Little Big Brother?”

Yun Yi happened to have something to report. Hearing this, he stood at the door, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Mrs. Shen smiled. “That’s true. Ah Yan is good-looking and has an extraordinary temperament. If you don’t keep an eye on him now, many little vixens will snatch him from you in the future.”

Xiaoxiao’s face was wooden. “Madam, is this from experience?”

Recalling the scene of her husband attracting women when he was young, Mrs. Shen snorted and reached out to pull the ponytail on Xiaoxiao’s head. “You’re just a child. Aren’t you embarrassed!”

Xiaoxiao was very helpless. “Madam, you’re the one who’s not embarrassed first.”

Seeing that Xiaoxiao was becoming more and more impudent, Madam Song hurriedly stepped on her foot to remind her, but Mrs. Shen waved her hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine. She’s right. I saw that Xiaoxiao is smart and I accidentally forgot that she’s still young.”

These words reminded Xiaoxiao. She touched her chin. “Why don’t I pretend to be stupid in the future and try not to perform so well?”

Mrs. Shen laughed out loud. “That will have to wait until you tell me about our shop’s idea.”

Xiaoxiao was already prepared. She took out a drawing paper from the drawer and started to describe it to Mrs. Shen.

“To put it simply, I want to open a private elegant abode for women to rest. The furnishings are mainly comfortable. Other than the hall, there are more VIP rooms that pay attention to privacy. What do you think of this seat? I’ll call it the sofa. I’ll improve it later. We’ll put a few in each VIP room. The noble ladies, who are usually tense, can relax faster if they want to. The overall style is inclined to a tea room. There’s no main meal, but it can provide all kinds of tea, snacks, and iced drinks to relieve their fatigue in summer…”

“To put it simply, our elegant abode is for people to enjoy. It’s just to relax. It’s also targeted at rich and noble women.”

The more she spoke, the brighter Mrs. Shen’s eyes lit up. This deal suited her too well!

As the daughter of the Li Family and Mrs. Shen, she was best at enjoying herself. She also knew many women who had nothing to do and had nowhere to spend their money.

Mrs. Shen was calm and unruffled as she casually asked, “I’ll ask you directly. How are you going to calculate the dividends?”

Xiaoxiao was also very calm. “This is also an important question I want to discuss with Madam.”

“I have a few suggestions regarding our cooperation method. Madam, please listen and see which one is more favorable.”

“The first is that I only take care of the design of the dishes and the style of the shop. I won’t care about anything else. I don’t need any decision-making power or say. I won’t interfere with your decisions in the shop’s decisions. I’ll take 20% of the shop’s dividends.”

Mrs. Shen nodded. “What about the second option?”

Xiaoxiao said, “The second is that I won’t participate in any decisions of the shop, nor will I give any suggestions. I’m only in charge of food and drinks. However, I won’t sell the drinks and snacks that are provided to the elegant abode anywhere else except the milk tea shop. The dividends of the elegant abode have nothing to do with me. I’ll sell as much as you buy.”

Without waiting for Mrs. Shen to continue asking, Xiaoxiao continued, “There’s also the third method, which is the sale of blueprints, beverages, and snack formulas. After I give them to you, I’ll only sell milk tea. Nothing else in the elegant abode has anything to do with me.”

“Madam, you don’t have to be anxious. Think about it slowly and tell me when you’ve thought it through. However, Madam, don’t worry. No matter which one you choose, it won’t affect our future interactions.”

Preparing such a shop was much more complicated than her milk tea shop. It was not something that could be settled with a few words. Moreover, the shop still needed to be prepared. Mrs. Shen pondered and nestled on the sofa without any intention of leaving.

Xiaoxiao did not rush her and went to the kitchen to work.

This was a busy city and there were bookstores around. It was obviously not suitable for her to cook. She only planned to make snacks and milk tea.

There were two big pots prepared in the kitchen. The amber milk tea inside was fragrant and pleasant. Xiaoxiao filled the bamboo container with the milk tea and brought Yun Yi and the others to the surrounding bookstores. Businessmen made money by being amiable. She did not have a competitive relationship with the surrounding shops. As long as she paid attention to favors, there would not be any conflict.

As expected, those shopkeepers finally tasted the milk tea after smelling the fragrance for a long time. All of them were full of praise and their expressions became even kinder. They all expressed that they would definitely bring their relatives and friends to support them on the opening day.

Xiaoxiao thanked them one by one and was about to bring her mother and the guards to find a place to eat when she saw two familiar figures at the door.

Li Muyan had a migraine from Gongsun Zhongjing’s torture early in the morning. This b*stard first despised his chef’s cooking for being unpalatable, then he said the good Junshan Silver Needles he made him was vulgar. He even asked him to make a list of herbs he needed, but Gongsun Zhongjing insisted on personally handling it. He brought him out to Fragrance Restaurant for a meal. Halfway in the carriage, Gongsun Zhongjing made a fuss about getting out of the carriage and looking for a food shop himself. As he walked, he came to the bookstore again!

If not for the fact that his grandmother’s body still needed this person’s help to recuperate, Li Muyan really wanted to pack him up and send him back to the Genius Doctor Valley immediately..
