Chapter 207 Making a plan for business (1)
After hearing this, everyone nodded to express their belief. Erlang came over and put his arms around Lin Xiaoqiao and said, "Little sister, we were wrong just now, so we shouldn't believe you! Now that you have proved yourself, what do you say in the future? I believe it!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao stood on tiptoe and patted his second elder brother on the head and said, "Yes! Don't question me so easily in the future!"

Erlang nodded sharply, and said with a smile: "Let's make more ice now and put it in the main room, it will be much cooler this way!"

Lin Xiaoqiao readily nodded in agreement, but after thinking about it, she said: "Father, mother, and Aunt Zheng, it's better not to let outsiders know that our family can make ice. It's fine for our family to use it!"

"Why? With this method, we can make more ice and sell it, so we can earn more money!" Erlang was very puzzled by Lin Xiaoqiao's words.

"Our family has made a fortune this year. We came to the town from the countryside and even opened a shop. It's already a bit eye-catching. If people know this again, how will we live in the future? We can be high-profile in our work, but we are human. It's better to keep a low profile!" Lin Xiaoqiao explained to Erlang.

After listening to Lin Xiaoqiao's words, Widow Zheng agreed greatly, and at the same time, she looked at her future daughter-in-law even more differently. She didn't expect that a girl as young as Lin Xiaoqiao, although she usually behaved a little smarter , It is really commendable to understand such a profound philosophy of life!
On the second day after the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a downpour. When I got up in the morning, the sky was dark and dark, with black clouds in the sky, churning non-stop.

The low air pressure made people more uncomfortable, and Lin Xiaoqiao didn't have much appetite for breakfast. He only drank half a bowl of mung bean porridge, and stopped eating with his chopsticks.

Although there are ice basins in the front room of the house now, Lin Xiaoqiao's clothes are still wet with sweat after he got up to have breakfast, and he always feels sticky on his back, and the weather is extremely dull, so She couldn't take it anymore, so she ran to the bathroom and took a cold shower without telling Li Shi.

Not only her, the two brothers Dalang and Erlang didn't eat much. Seeing this situation, Mrs. Li became a little worried, looked up at the sky, and wondered when the rain would fall.

Lin Xiaoqiao had just come out of the shower, when suddenly a gust of wind hit, and the things hanging under the eaves seemed to fly away.

The wind blowing really made people feel refreshed, most of the heat outside was blown away, Li Shi and the others also moved their stools out and sat down.

After a while, thick raindrops fell, crackling and slapping on the ground, accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder, the rain was quite fierce, and the raindrops fell obliquely and overwhelmingly.

Lin Xiaoqiao sat under the eaves of the porch, quietly watching those fine raindrops, hitting the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, splashing pieces of water, she felt that the impetuousness in her heart also followed The raindrops fell and dispersed.

Although it was pouring rain outside, Mrs. Li put on her coir raincoat and went out to buy ingredients, and Lin Xiaoqiao and the others also got up to tidy up.Off to the shop.

Because of the rain, the road has formed a rushing and noisy river, and there are no pedestrians on the street. Although the rain in summer is fierce, it usually does not last for a long time. When Lin Xiaoqiao and the others arrived at the shop, the heavy rain had gradually faded. It's getting smaller.

When Li came back from shopping, her body was already wet, Lin Xiaoqiao hurriedly urged her to go to the backyard to change into dry clothes, so as not to catch the cold.

The shop's business has been cold for a period of time, and it is raining again today, so it is estimated that there will not be many people who come out to eat, so when Mrs. Li buys ingredients, she also buys a lot less.

Originally, Lin Xiaoqiao didn't have to use the shop today, but it would be boring for her to stay at home alone on a rainy day, so she followed along.

In addition, she also wants to discuss with the big guys, regarding the business of the shop that has been sluggish recently, to see if she can think of a way to change the status quo.

Now that the business of the shop is idle, everyone is also idle. Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng didn't work in the kitchen for a while, so they had nothing to do.

The big guys are sitting in the lobby bored, it is still raining outside, it is already time, almost the normal meal time, but there are still not many people walking on the street, it seems that today It was another day of deserted and quiet.

Manzi, the boy in the shop, had already gone to the door to look back and forth a few times, but he didn't see a single customer coming in. Lin Xiaoqiao saw that he couldn't sit still, so he said aloud: "Oh, don't I went to see it, it’s raining today, and there aren’t many guests. Come here and sit down and rest.”

After all, the little guy is still young and not mature enough. After listening to Lin Xiaoqiao's words, he walked back to the table and sighed: "Oh - I've rested enough these days, I'm really serious now. I don't want to rest."

After hearing this, everyone felt a little depressed when they thought about the business situation of the shop these days.

"Miss Xiaoqiao, you usually have the most ideas, so hurry up and think of ideas, if this continues, can our shop survive?" Another boy, Shunzi, said to Lin Xiaoqiao.

"Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, we can't keep the ingredients we buy every day. The business of our shop is also declining day by day. After this day, the money collected is not worth the money for buying vegetables and meat!" Li said. At this time, Shi also looked full of melancholy.

Among all the people present, only Widow Zheng and Lin Xiaoqiao are calmer now. Seeing Li Shi's sad face, Widow Zheng slowly persuaded: "Oh——let's not blame those guests for not Come to the door, think about it, the weather is so hot now, even if we don’t have a good appetite, we can’t eat every day. Don’t sigh, let’s survive this period, and wait for the weather to cool down , it will be fine soon."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li's melancholy still didn't dissipate a bit, and she still frowned: "Oh—that's the only way to go, if you want to blame, you can only blame it because it's too hot today, and everyone eats food. No stuff. How about we close the shop for a while and reopen it when the weather cools down?"

When Widow Zheng heard this, she quickly expressed her objection: "This is impossible. Although the business is not good every day, there are still a small number of regular customers who come to the shop to eat. If we suddenly close the shop, those regular customers are likely to die. lost."

Lin Xiaoqiao also felt that it was unreliable to close the shop if the business was not good. In fact, she had thought about it carefully a few days ago and had come up with a few ideas. The implementation of the idea should be helpful to the business of the shop.
