Chapter 323 Drink your milk tea

Chapter 323 Drink your milk tea

“I want to drink milk tea.”

After lunch, Li Luo planned to follow Li Guohong to West Street, but Yan Zhusheng followed him in a hurry. , said seriously.

Ying Chanxi on the side saw this and followed him silently: "I'll go take a look too, okay?"

"Come on, I'll drive over just in time." Li Guohong smiled Hehehe said, "Are you going to go fishing?"

"Huh?" Xu Youyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I won't go. I feel a little sleepy after eating, so I have to take a nap."

"If uncle can make milk tea over there." Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu, and then said, "I'll bring you a cup later."

"Okay." Xu Youyu said With an OK gesture, he yawned and walked into his room.

Li Guohong took his three children and drove towards West Street in the west.

Li Luo sat in the passenger seat and buckled his seat belt, and said to Li Guohong: "Dad, now I have bought a store and a house. When will I be free, can I buy you a new car?"

"You kid, how can you spend money so well?" Li Guohong was moved in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "I just got four storefront rooms, and the principal amount alone was more than two million."

"Including the Bihailanting house, our family is now heavily in debt. We have a loan of more than three million yuan to repay."

"When will the loan be paid off? Think about changing the car for me."

Hearing this, Li Luo suddenly looked strange, glanced at his father, and then said: "Dad, are you not paying too much attention to me now? How much is your deposit?”

“Huh?” Li Guohong was stunned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Even if the principal for buying the hot pot restaurant is deducted, There is probably more than two million yuan left in the account," Li Luo coughed twice and reminded, "My monthly royalties are now more than half a million yuan, plus I signed a contract with Aunt Yuan related to the new album. I made a lot of money again.”

In March, Li Luo’s deposit was about 1.5 million.

It is now the end of July, and another four months of royalties have arrived, which add up to more than two million.

Coupled with the copyright fees for the three subsequent new songs from Yuan Wanqing's new album, as well as the signing contracts related to the new album, the total direct income has also brought Li Luo hundreds of thousands.

And this time, Li Luo also received a pretty good share of the future earnings from the new album.

If the performance of this new album can explode, this will be a steady source of income.

Even if you don’t count this part of future income, just looking at Li Luo’s current cash flow, including the 150 deposit in March, the total sum of zero and zero amounts to more than 4 million.

After deducting the more than 2 million principal required for the four storefronts purchased this time, Li Luo actually has about 2 million left in cash flow.

The actual total loan amount owed by their family, including the Bihai Lanting house, is only over three million.

If Li Luo really wanted to pay it off in one go, a few months would be enough.

When Li Guohong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the speed at which his son was making money was not much different from building a small money printing machine at home.

In March, I thought it was a bit difficult to buy four stores at once. Now, by the end of July, it is already quite easy.

“My suggestion.” Li Luo continued, “As for the storefront house, after all, the loan contract is on Sister Lulu’s side, so there is no need to pay it off too early.”

“As for the one million loan for the house in Bihai Lanting, let’s repay it in advance.”

“In this case, there will be one million left on the book, let’s rekindle it. It shouldn’t be too much for Wenhua to buy a new car with a little bit of flair as a company car, right?”

Speaking of this, Li Luo also winked at his father and said with a smile: "From now on, when you and my mother represent me to discuss business and contracts, you can't just use this small car, right?"

If Li Guohong could not catch up on his son's remarks, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.

"Well... what you said makes sense." Li Guohong nodded and said, "You are 16 years old this year. You will be in your second year of high school soon. In two years, you will be taking the college entrance examination and going to college."

“When you reach 18 years old, you can get your driver’s license and get a car to drive.”

“It’s not cost-effective for a newbie to drive with a new car. "

"We will buy you a car two years in advance. I will drive it for you first. After you get your driver's license, you can take advantage of this old car."

" When you become proficient, you can buy a new car and drive it yourself.”

Listening to his father’s reasoning, Li Luo also gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

The father and son looked at each other, smiled, and the plan to buy a car was put on the agenda.

The back of the car.

Yan Zhusheng was obedient and quiet, pretending not to hear the father and son's plot.

Ying Chanxi smiled helplessly and had no intention of complaining to Lin Xiuhong.

In fact, Ying Chanxi has gradually realized that Li Luo is now becoming more and more like the head of the family.

Lin Xiuhong, who used to nag Li Luo at every turn and hated iron, now loses her temper less and less when dealing with Li Luo.

Even if I occasionally nag, it is usually just a few words of complaint. I no longer scold loudly like before.

Even if the plan to buy a car was revealed to Lin Xiuhong, Lin Xiuhong would probably adopt the default attitude.

After all, today's Li family is no longer what it used to be. It's just a car, and it's not like buying a luxury car or sports car that costs millions. With a budget of a few hundred thousand, it can still be done easily. Take it easy.

A few minutes later, the car arrived at West Street. Li Guohong stopped on the side of the road and said to the three little ones in the car: "I will go to the hot pot restaurant to talk to the landlord and ask for the contact information of the hot pot restaurant owner. , you go to the milk tea shop, I will come to you after I finish my work."

"OK." Li Luo nodded, and after getting out of the car, he waved to Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng. Walking towards the west gate of Qianjiang University in the distance.

At this time, the milk tea shop next to the west gate has already been given a new look after renovation.

On the side near the west gate is the original milk tea shop, which is now made into a half-and-half layout.

On the left is the external ordering counter, and on the right is the store entrance.

On the right side of the milk tea shop, where the breakfast shop used to be, the entrance has been completely sealed with a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window.

At a glance, you can see two neat rows of tables, chairs and partitions. You can see a wrap-around curtain around each table and chair.

As long as the guests need it, they can pull the curtain at any time to turn the tables and chairs into a small enclosed space.

At this time, when Li Luo looked in through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, he saw that the curtain of a table and chair had been drawn inside. He didn't know if there were guests resting inside.

Thinking about this, Li Luo had already walked into the milk tea shop with Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi.

As soon as the door opened and the bell on the door rang, Lin Xiufeng, who was taking a nap on the recliner inside the counter, was suddenly awakened and sat up from the recliner in a daze.

"Welcome, the menu is on the counter. If you need anything, you can follow..." Lin Xiufeng rubbed his eyes and stood up. When he took a closer look, he was stunned for a moment.

"Hello, uncle." Li Luo smiled and said hello.

"Hello, uncle." Ying Chanxi also shouted.

Seeing this, Yan Zhusheng immediately followed: "Hello, uncle."

Lin Xiufeng: "...Why are you here?"

"Let's take a look at you. How is the milk tea shop?" Li Luo put his hands on the counter and asked with a smile, "By the way, uncle, when did you finish decorating here?"

"It's been a little while. Lin Xiufeng said, "Your mother said you were studying hard during the summer vacation, so I didn't rush to tell you."

"Is it open now?" Li Luo said, "Let's have three cups of milk tea." ?”

“Okay, what do you want to drink?” Lin Xiufeng pointed to the menu on the counter and asked, “Look, we can basically make it.”

“Here. I’ll take a cup of fairy grass.”

“I want red beans,” Ying Chanxi said.

Yan Zhusheng glanced at it for a few times and finally asked: "Can the pearl milk tea be made without pearls?"

"Ah?" Lin Xiufeng was stunned for a moment, "I have to ask about this, I can only make it according to the recipe above."

After saying that, Lin Xiufeng shouted to the guest rest area next door Said: "Jian Chun! Come and help me!"

"Here it comes." Hearing Lin Xiufeng's voice, the curtain of a passage was opened between the milk tea shop and the breakfast shop. Inside, a girl stood up from the rest area and walked over, greeting Lin Xiufeng.

Li Luo's eyes fell on this girl, and he was slightly surprised.

This girl looks very quiet, exuding a scholarly temperament. She has long, smooth hair and a more classical hairstyle with a hairpin. She looks like It feels more like a classic beauty.

Obviously she doesn’t look very pretty, but she is very elegant.

Even if she is wearing a very simple pair of short-sleeved trousers, she still gives people the unique delicacy of Jiangnan women when she walks.

Jian Chun walked over from the rest area and glanced at Li Luo and the three of them, her eyes slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the guest was quite handsome and beautiful.

But with a flash of his eyes, he immediately returned to normal, walked slowly behind the counter, and asked softly: "Is there any problem?"

"Um... Can you make pearl milk tea without adding pearls?" Lin Xiufeng asked.

"Yes." Jian Chun nodded and asked, "Where are the other two guests?"

"A cup of grass jelly and a cup of red beans."

"Okay." Jian Chun Picking up the materials on the table, "I'll do it."

Looking at Jian Chun skillfully making milk tea, Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

It wasn't until the other party finished making three cups of milk tea and returned to the rest area next door that Li Luo sipped the milk tea and asked curiously with a wink: "Who is this? My aunt?"

"What are you thinking about?" When Lin Xiufeng heard this, he rolled his eyes angrily, "I'm a serious top student at Qianjiang University. Don't spread rumors here."< br>
"Then what is she doing here?" Li Luo asked doubtfully.

"That's the waiter from before." Lin Xiufeng said, "Didn't I tell you before? The original boss gave me a contact information, and in the end this was the only waiter who was still available."< br>
"Oh, that's it." Li Luo remembered this and nodded, "Then this is the future senior sister of the three of us?"

"That can be said." Lin Xiufeng nodded, "She was in the first year of graduate school and will be in the second year of graduate school in the second half of the year. By the time you three are admitted to Qianjiang University, she will probably have graduated from graduate school."

"It's good to have graduated." Li Luo nodded, "Sister Jian is in her first year of graduate school this year. She should be twenty-three or four years old?"

"You kid, stop using your brain." Lin Xiufeng heard this. , knowing what this kid was about to fart, he immediately laughed and cursed, "I won't think about anything else except saving money to buy a car." "And I'm nine years older than this little girl, don't give it to me. "It's a blind match."

"Let's go wherever we go after drinking milk tea."

Li Luo laughed twice and didn't continue to irritate himself. Uncle, and then chatted about something else.

"So how is the business after opening?"

"What kind of business can we do during the summer vacation?" Lin Xiufeng shook his head, "On average, I only sell a few cups of milk tea every day, which is enough to make a living. Money and water and electricity bills.”

“Are there no orders for takeout?”

“Except for Qianjiang University, there are almost no people ordering milk tea here.” Xiufeng said, "And the few cups of milk tea I mentioned every day are basically ordered from takeaway. Who comes to the store to drink milk tea on this hot day?"

"That's true." Li Luo nodded, and then continued He asked doubtfully, "Then what's going on with Senior Sister Jian staying here now? Have you hired her back again?"

"No." Lin Xiufeng shook his head, "Who else should I hire for this summer business? I'm so busy doing it myself."

"She just wants to find a place to study. The library of Qianjiang University is in the far north, far away from her dormitory. "

"It happened to be a little closer to me, and there was free air conditioning and milk tea, so she taught me how to make milk tea. , It’s mutual benefit.”

After listening, Li Luo nodded, which seemed pretty good.

He had no intention of helping his uncle find a partner. After chatting like this, he planned to go to the rest area next door.

At this time, Ying Chanxi asked in a low voice: "Is there a toilet here?"

"There is one in the rest area." Lin Xiufeng said, "Just go in, turn left and walk to the end. "

"Yeah, thank you, uncle."

The three of them walked into the rest area, and Ying Chanxi hurried to the toilet.

Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng walked to a table for four next to the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Li Luo sat inside, and Yan Zhusheng immediately sat next to him and pulled up the curtains around him.

"We don't study, why are you pulling the curtain?" Li Luo said very quietly, fearing to disturb Jian Chun's study.

"Experience it." Yan Zhusheng also responded in a low voice, and then his eyes fell on Li Luo's grass jelly milk tea, "Does your cup taste good?"

"What are you doing? "Li Luo was now very alert and reacted immediately to protect his milk tea.

“I don’t like all kinds of toppings in milk tea.” Yan Zhusheng shook his head and said, “It tastes weird.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Li Luo felt relieved a little , and then said, "I actually don't like it very much. Small ingredients like fairy grass, which are as soft as jelly are fine."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhusheng had already joined in. When I reached him, I stretched my head, bit Li Luo's straw, and sucked hard.

“What the hell, what are you doing?”

Seeing this, Li Luo had no time to stop him. He could only watch as Yan Zhusheng took a big sip of his fairy grass milk tea.

Then he looked at her bulging mouth, raised her head and looked at him, with a little bit left at the corner of her lips.

"How can you drink secretly like this?" Li Luo was speechless, "Didn't you say you don't like drinking with small ingredients?"

Yan Zhusheng slowly tasted the taste in his mouth, and then swallowed it all. Belly, the little tongue circled on the lips, and licked the remaining milk tea into the mouth: "But didn't you say that the grass jelly is fine? I'll give it a try."

Li Luo: " ..."

"It's delicious." Yan Zhusheng said, "Can I have another sip?"

"No."

"I can give you a drink too. "Yan Zhusheng handed his milk tea to Li Luo's mouth.

"What are you two doing?" Ying Chanxi walked over from there after going to the toilet. When he saw Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng closing the curtains, they walked over quickly, Open it up.

At this moment.

I saw Li Luo flipping through his cell phone casually.

Yan Zhusheng, with her legs together, sat on the seat next to Li Luo, holding her own milk tea in both hands and drinking it obediently.

Ying Chanxi didn't notice anything strange, and sat down on the seat opposite Li Luo with a suspicious look on his face. He picked up his red bean milk tea and took a sip.

At this time, Li Luo was looking at the cup of milk tea held in Yan Zhusheng's hand with twitching eyes, and then looked at the cup of pearl milk tea in front of him that had no ingredients. For a moment, Don't know what to say.

Ying Chanxi came so quickly that he didn't even have time to snatch back the fairy grass milk tea that Yan Zhusheng had snatched away. Ying Chanxi had already come over.

Li Luo was so frightened that he quickly took out his mobile phone to show off, and could only watch helplessly as his milk tea was wasted by Yan Zhusheng.

"Why don't you drink it?" Ying Chanxi saw that he still had a lot of milk tea, and Yan Zhusheng had almost finished the cup, and couldn't help but asked doubtfully, "Isn't it delicious?"

"No... I'm just a little full at noon." Li Luo said so, then he bit the straw in front of him and took a sip of the milk tea under the gaze of Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi. .

Hmm...it's really sweet.

Li Luo avoided Ying Chanxi's gaze with a guilty conscience, and then met Yan Zhusheng's gaze next to him.

Yan Zhusheng's eyes curved into crescents, she smiled happily at him, and in front of him, she pointed at the fairy grass milk tea that she was holding hostage and murmured again.

Fortunately, Yan Zhusheng was holding the body of the milk tea cup with both hands, but Ying Chanxi was not allowed to see the fairy grass material inside.

But looking at Yan Zhusheng who was so arrogant, Li Luo's eyes twitched, thinking that this girl really needed to be dealt with. He really wanted to push her on the bed and spank her hard.

At this moment, Yan Zhusheng suddenly looked at Yingchanxi opposite, and took the initiative to push the milk tea in front of Yingchanxi, and then asked: "Xixi, do you want to taste mine? "

"Huh?" Ying Chanxi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and politely declined, "No, I'll just drink mine."

Said. She glanced at Li Luo's cup of milk tea opposite.

I thought that if Li Luo asked her this, and if no one else was around...she might just...

Thinking of this, Ying Chanxi's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she bit herself The straw didn’t dare to dwell on it.

......

At the end of July, after Li Guohong officially bought the storefront of the hot pot restaurant, he contacted the original owner of the hot pot restaurant and asked him to get rid of the hot pot restaurant bit by bit. All kinds of equipment are included.

By the way, the waiters who had not found new jobs after being dismissed were also brought back to take up the Sichuan-Chongqing Old Hotpot brand again.

The original hot pot restaurant owner was a serious Sichuan and Chongqing native, but as the new owner who saved the old Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot, why does he really have to be a Sichuan and Chongqing native?

Anyway, Li Guohong was quite happy after purchasing this hot pot restaurant.

After all, he used to work in a breakfast restaurant and has been dealing with food for half his life.

Now that Li Luo has established a high-end company like Reignite Culture, Li Guohong is happy, but he is always a little uncomfortable with being asked to hold the position of general manager.

Now that he is the owner of this hot pot restaurant, he has regained some passion.

Under such circumstances, July, the summer vacation, slipped away quietly, ushering in the hotter August.

In early August, Ying Zhicheng, along with the head of the propaganda department of Huayue Film and Television and a group of related employees, welcomed and entertained the Wenyue Group’s propaganda department and copyright department from Changning.

Li Luo also met with Lawyer Tian who graduated from Qianjiang University at Lin Xiufeng's milk tea shop under the recommendation of Xu Rongsheng.

As soon as they met, Lawyer Tian, ​​who looked to be over forty years old, stood up happily to greet Li Luo, and said with a smile: "I have long admired your name, Teacher Xianran, I am your fan. Ah, after we finish chatting in a while, can we sign something?"

As soon as he said this, Li Luo's face suddenly froze, and he turned to look at Xu Rongsheng who was following him.

"Ahem..." Xu Rongsheng coughed and explained to him, "I asked a professor at the law school to ask his students, and it happened that this lawyer Tian knew more about the fields related to copyright signing, and he also volunteered. He said he was coming, so I invited him over.”

This was the first time that Li Luo saw readers and fans who were two rounds older than him, and it felt a bit strange.

However, after shaking hands and saying hello, and sitting down, Lawyer Tian in front of him immediately became serious and began to communicate and understand Li Luo.

After some conversation, some details of the subsequent contract negotiations were confirmed, and the business was over.

Looking at such a young boy in front of him, Lawyer Tian couldn’t help but sigh: “To be honest, when my teacher came to ask me before, he said that I wanted to find a lawyer in the copyright field to assist me. It’s just a whoops! Isn’t this the author of my favorite book recently?”

“I originally thought that the author of this book is probably about the same age as me, at most. , you are ten years younger than me.”

“I didn’t expect it. When Professor Xu mentioned your age to me, I was shocked.”

“But it’s also a sign of respect. Teacher Ran became even more interested, and he had to come over to meet him no matter what.”

Listening to what Lawyer Tian said, Li Luo’s mouth twitched a few times, and he thanked the other party for his love, and then cautiously spoke. Asked Xu Rongsheng beside him.

"Uncle Xu, besides Lawyer Tian, ​​have you told anyone else about me?"

"No." Xu Rongsheng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I will just give you The students assigned several topics, one of which was related to your book, and nothing else was mentioned.”

But the words just fell.

The curtain of the next table was suddenly opened.

Jian Chun put away her headphones, stood up, took a look here, and then said in surprise: "Teacher, I just felt that the voice sounded a bit like yours, and it turned out to be true."

After finishing speaking, Jian Chun's eyes fell on Li Luo, with an inexplicable meaning in her eyes.

But Li Luo clearly saw that there was a hint of smile in the eyes of this senior Jian.

"Uncle Xu..." Li Luo felt that his mouth was a little dry and couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "This senior...what is the topic she is studying now?"

"Uh...cough..." Xu Rongsheng coughed twice, but also felt a bit dumbfounded.

At this time, Jian Chun had no choice but to laugh, and pointed to the documents on her desk: "Take "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" as an example to explore the inheritance of the characteristics of the Internet era in the creation techniques of online literature. and innovation"

Li Luo: "..."
