Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 335: Visiting Miss Zeng

Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Visiting Miss Zeng

The key to opening an ice drink shop is the ice.

The largest ice business in Yan City belongs to the Cheng Family. All the other ice sellers are merely scavenging small businesses in the wake of the Cheng Family.

"Sister Nanzhi, would the Cheng Family sell us ice?"

Shen Miaomiao was nibbling at her fingers, her eyebrows knitted into a frown.

"We have no grudge with the Cheng family, and since it’s a money-making venture, there’s no reason to deny us from buying." Nanzhi shook her head, picked up her pen and made another mark on the paper.

"It’s just that the ice is quite expensive."

She had made some inquiries; the price of ice was too high, a piece of ice the size of a head would cost one tael of silver.

She originally planned to open an ice drink shop but in a moment of heat, she forgot how expensive ice was. Now the money had been spent, the pastry chef had been hired, and she could only proceed with her plan.

When she thought about the high price of ice, Nanzhi became annoyingly regretful.

Why didn’t she think to look up the methods of ice-making before going to sleep when she went back to school last time?

If she could master the technique of making ice with saltpeter, she would truly be seizing an opportunity to make money.

"Sister Nanzhi, we can go and look at other shops selling ice drinks." After chewing on her finger for a while, Shen Miaomiao put forward a suggestion.

There were many shops in Yan City selling ice drinks. Now it was already June, and many shops had started selling ice drinks. Some were doing well, and they could learn quite a lot by going to those shops.

After a night’s thought, Shen Miaomiao no longer obsessed over what Shen Zhong had said.

No matter what he said, she was now a restaurant owner, which was much better than becoming a wife and mother after marriage.

As Sister Nanzhi said, she should trust herself.

"Let’s go and check it out later. However, we need to visit the Zeng Family first and see how Miss Zeng is doing." Nanzhi nodded, put down her brush, and looked at several ingredients lists on the paper. Satisfied, she nodded approvingly.

By coincidence, she had part-time jobs all over the place in the past, prepping ingredients at a tofu shop, frying chicken at a burger joint, grilling skewers at a barbecue shop, and on the second day of university, she started working at the campus milk tea shop.

Although she could only work for two to three hours a day, she still learned how to make the simplest fruit tea.

Even that was only after two weeks of constant fruit cutting that she finally got the opportunity to practice.

It’s a pity that Xia Country had a limited variety of fruits, she could only think of ways to figure it out herself.

Before going to the Zeng family, Nanzhi went to the small courtyard next door.

In the courtyard, Master Zheng and several men were discussing something. Master Zheng waved them away to get back to their work when he saw Nanzhi.

"Miss Lin." A smile appeared on Master Zheng’s face, which was much improved from yesterday.

After all, he made a lot from this business. Moreover, the waiter from the neighboring shop had been sending tea and meals from last night until now.

This morning when the young waiter saw him bringing his apprentice over, there was considerably more food for lunch. Among the five dishes served, three were meat.

With such a generous employer, he had to take his job seriously.

"Master Zheng, you’ve been working hard."

Master Zheng waved his hand and laughed: "Miss Lin, don’t mention it. This is what we should do. They are all my apprentices. Since you need the work done in a hurry, I called them over."

"Master Zheng, are the meals for the past two days satisfactory?"

Nanzhi replied with a smile.

"Very satisfactory, very good. Rest assured, Miss Lin, I will definitely do a good job for you," said Master Zheng, patting his chest. He did his job conscientiously, just for the silver Miss Lin gave him, he could not afford to damage his reputation.

"If Master Zheng needs anything, just tell the staff in the restaurant."

"Yes, sure."

After Masther Zheng made several promises, Nanzhi finally departed with Shen Miaomiao.

When they arrived at the Zeng family’s home, Hexiu’s spirit brightened at the sight of Nanzhi. She looked behind her for a long time but did not see Shen Yuntian, which left her a bit disappointed.

"Miss Lin." Seeing the girl next to Nanzhi, Hexiu was slightly curious.

"This is our restaurant’s Miss Shen. She has been home due to some matters recently. Today we came together to see Miss Zeng."

"You are kind."

Hexiu bowed in greeting and ushered the two inside.

"Miss, the owners of the Sanwei Residence, Miss Lin and Miss Shen, are here."

Miss Zeng was lying in bed reading a medical book. Hearing Hexiu’s voice outside the door, she quickly hid the book under her body and said, "Please invite them in."

"Yes, Miss."

When Nanzhi saw Miss Zeng, she didn’t recognize her at first.

The girl in the bed had fair skin and a face like a peach blossom, quite different from her previous frail appearance.

"Miss Zeng?"

Nanzhi spoke hesitantly, afraid that she might call the wrong person.

"Lin, Miss... Sister." Miss Zeng was somewhat flustered, but her eyes keep glancing behind her.

Seeing her behavior, Nanzhi found it amusing. She pulled Shen Miaomiao over and introduced her: "Miss Zeng, this is my sister, also one of the owners of Sanwei Residence, named Shen Miaomiao."

"Hello, Sister Shen." Miss Zeng blushed slightly and greeted softly.

"You’re too polite, Miss Zeng." Shen Miaomiao also felt a bit embarrassed. After all, when the lady had an accident in the restaurant last time, she only came to visit now. However, she handed the pastries she was holding to Hexiu.

"These are new pastries from our restaurant. We brought them especially for Miss Zeng to taste."

"Thank you, Sister Shen. I didn’t know you were coming, and I haven’t lay down yet."

The young girl’s voice was small, appearing quite shy.

She was physically weak, and though she had improved in the past few days, her mother didn’t allow her to leave the room, so she could only sit on the bed reading. It was incredibly boring.

"Sister Lin, I, I wanted to ask, why, why didn’t he come?"

After some hesitation, Miss Zeng still asked the question that was on her mind with a blush.

She liked that young doctor, and her father finally agreed, so now she was thinking about him.

Shen Miaomiao was somewhat confused. Could it be that Sister Nanzhi had brought someone else last time?

Knowing that Miss Zeng was asking about Wang Jingzhi, Nanzhi felt a bit of emotion: "Before, I brought him over rashly, worrying about Miss Zeng’s frailty. Now, it’s not appropriate for me to bring him over to the Zeng Family."

If she kept bringing Wang Jingzhi over, people might think something had happened to the Zeng Family.

Moreover, it wasn’t good to keep bothering Wang Jingzhi. He had finally brightened up a bit.

Thinking of Wang Jingzhi’s experience, Nanzhi still had some worries.

She was afraid, afraid that after that incident, he would dare not marry or have children.

"What Sister Lin said makes sense." Miss Zeng was somewhat disappointed but still gestured for them to sit down.

The topics of conversation between the young ladies were plentiful. Alone, each of them was lively and cheerful, especially Miss Zeng. She had been staying at home since she was a child, and she was quite fascinated by the stories Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao told of their past adventures.
