This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

What do you want to do after you make money in Chapter 109?
After having dinner and watching a movie at Lin Mengqiu's house, Chen Shi'an returned home at 10 p.m.

Pushing open the door, I could still smell the sweet aroma of sugar water.

"Did Sister Wanyin make sweet soup again tonight?" Chen Shi'an called out as he changed his slippers at the door.

"yes--"

From the kitchen, Li Wanyin poked her head out and said with a smile, "It's taro sago pudding again tonight. Are you eating at Uncle Lin's house so late?"

"Yeah, after dinner I watched a movie at home with the class monitor."

"Is your class monitor Uncle Lin's daughter? What's her name? I seem to remember him mentioning that he has a daughter..."

"Her name is Lin Mengqiu, and we are deskmates."

"Huh? You guys even have boys and girls sitting at the same table?"

"No, that's not it. There are just an odd number of boys and an odd number of girls in the class, so we're probably the only boy-girl pair sitting together."

"Isn't Xia in your class?"

"She's in the top liberal arts class."

"So that's what it looks like."

Li Wanyin didn't take it to heart. Chen Shi'an had a good personality, so it was perfectly normal for him to have many friends. It was even possible that many girls at school secretly admired him.

However, matters of the heart are never something that can be resolved by one-sided affection.

A person's character is more evident in their life outside of school. Having lived under the same roof with Chen Shi'an for half a month, Li Wanyin could tell that Chen Shi'an was a very 'Taoist' person.

Moreover, they are not the self-proclaimed "Taoist" types, but genuine Taoist youths who have actually practiced Taoism, focusing on self-cultivation, living a simple and carefree life, detached from worldly affairs.

This gives him a unique charm and temperament that sets him apart from ordinary people. It is precisely for this reason that Li Wanyin feels that this younger brother will not fall in love... or rather, it is really very difficult for him to fall in love or like someone.

Li Wanyin found it difficult to put herself in Chen Shi'an's shoes and imagine what his inner world was like. After all, she was fundamentally different from him; she was just an ordinary person, or rather, this world was a world for ordinary people.

Li Wanyin wondered what kind of girl could possibly win his heart and catch his eye. She figured that all the girls in school who secretly admired Chen Shi'an were probably just wasting their time...

The reason I think about these things is because, as an older sister, I should care about my younger brother's love life...

Jia Yun and the others are just spouting nonsense about "Little Boys High School" all the time!

With this in mind, Li Wanyin suddenly felt at ease and at ease. After establishing the so-called "cohabiting siblings under the same roof," it seemed that all the kindness and care shown to him became natural and traceable.

……

Chen Shi'an changed his shoes and went into the kitchen. Li Wanyin had already ladled out a bowl of sweet soup and handed it to him.

"Thank you, Sister Wanyin."

"How was lunch? It shouldn't be cold now, right?"

"No, didn't Sister Wanyin say she would send it over as soon as it was ready? It was still warm when I ate it. You brought so much meat and vegetables, I ate almost two-thirds of it, and I'm so full."

"Oh, you didn't share any with Zhixia?"

"Yes, she even praised your cooking as being especially delicious. But how much can a girl like her eat? It's probably because Sister Wanyin ate too much."

"Haha, I was afraid you wouldn't have enough to eat, so I brought extra."

While talking to Chen Shi'an, Li Wanyin continued doing her work.

Taking advantage of the holiday today, she went to the second-hand market in the afternoon and bought a high-speed blender. She also bought some loose tea for making milk tea, such as black tea and oolong tea, a box of milk, some fruit, some flavoring ingredients commonly used for making milk tea and fruit drinks, and some small tools, such as measuring cups, filters, electronic scales, and small saucepans.

Li Wanyin has always been a very proactive person. After having the idea of ​​setting up a milk tea stall, she quickly got to work during the weekend.

Today, she bought so many things, and since she didn't have a car or ask anyone for help, she had to take the bus twice in the sweltering heat to buy them all.

Looking at all the extra things in the kitchen, Chen Shi'an asked curiously, "Sister Wanyin, are you planning to set up your stall tomorrow?"
"No, there's no way to set up a stall so quickly. I'm just getting all the tools and ingredients ready so I can make some milk tea myself and refresh my skills. Otherwise, I'll be all over the place when I finally set up the stall."

"Did Sister Wanyin see the recipe for the 'Seven Fruit Drink' that I wrote this morning, which I left on the dining table?"

Having agreed to Li Wanyin's offer to invest last night, Chen Shi'an wrote out the formula early this morning.

The recipe uses a universally compatible ratio of seven fruit juices. After all, most people don't have his level of sensory perception, so it's unlikely that they could completely replicate the 'seven-fruit drink' he made last night. But with a universally compatible formula, even if there are differences in taste, it will still be within a relatively stable range.

"Yes, I'm making fruit drinks right now, but I've only made two cups so far, and they don't taste quite as good as yours from last night..."

"That's normal. Sister Wanyin, make me a cup to try now."

"Uh-huh."

Unlike Chen Shi'an, who could make the seven-fruit drink with ease, Li Wanyin carefully measured the proportions of the seven freshly squeezed juices using measuring cups before finally pouring them into the same cup and mixing them thoroughly.

Chen Shi'an immediately spotted the problem.

"Sister Wanyin got the order wrong."

"Eh?"

"Sister Wanyin probably didn't pay close attention to the order in which I wrote down the ingredients. First add the dragon fruit juice, then the grape juice... and finally add the orange juice. Also, don't stir it too much, just mix it briefly. That way, you'll have that layered flavor when you drink it."

"Oh, I see! I didn't look closely at the time; I just thought that mixing them together in the right proportions would be fine."

"Yes, mixing is fine, but this only produces the mixed flavor and lacks the sense of variation and layering. Sister Wanyin, do you remember what it felt like when you first took it yesterday?"

"The most obvious taste of the first bite is the sweet and sour orange juice... then the creamy sweetness of the mango, the refreshing apple... oh, I get it."

Li Wanyin suddenly realized what was going on, quickly took the recipe sheet given to her by Chen Shi'an, and rearranged the ingredients according to the order written on it, stirring it a couple of times.

Soon, two cups of fruit drinks were ready. She handed one to Chen Shi'an and then picked up her own cup to taste it.

This time it definitely felt different; in addition to the unique flavor of the seven juices mixed together, it also had more layers of flavor.

With each sip, the flavors of the different juices vary in intensity. The first taste is the sweet and sour orange juice that stimulates the taste buds. This step is crucial for the subsequent taste experience, not only distinguishing the layers of flavor but also progressively bringing the taste to its fullest.

"By the way, if we're going to set up a stall in the future, there will be special cups and straws. The straws are for drinking from the bottom up. So, will the order have to be reversed?"

Li Wanyin was intelligent. After realizing the importance of the order, she immediately learned to apply what she learned to other situations.

Chen Shi'an nodded: "Yes, if you're using a straw, you really have to reverse the order."

"So, how would you rate this drink compared to the one you made yesterday?"

"What do you think, Sister Wanyin?"

"...Nine points!"

"I'd give it an eight out of ten."

"Hehe, eight points is not bad. There are very few people with your taste. I think it's already perfect."

"By the way, do you have any ice at home? We could put some in, or try freezing it first," Chen Shi'an suggested. "Oh yeah, put in ice!"

Li Wanyin quickly went to the refrigerator to get ice cubes.

In the afternoon, she bought some ice cube trays, put some cooled boiled water in the freezer, and then took out a few ice cubes and put them into the juice in her glass.

When it comes to beverages, the difference in taste between iced and room temperature drinks can be so great that they feel like two completely different drinks. For example, beer and cola are practically from completely different dimensions.

After adding ice to the fruit drink, Li Wanyin took another sip and her eyes lit up: "So delicious! I think this time it deserves a perfect score!"

Chen Shi'an also took a sip and nodded, saying, "The taste is indeed much better after adding ice. Although Sister Wanyin's Seven Fruit Drink has some flaws, I think it's acceptable with the help of ice."

"Okay, then I'll practice some more and try to make you satisfied."

Li Wanyin sipped her Seven Fruit Drink, marveling at how delicious it would have been if Chen Shi'an had added ice to the drink he made last night.

Seeing that Li Wanyin had bought so many ingredients today, including tea, milk, and fruit, Chen Shi'an took advantage of the free time to study them and, based on these commonly used ingredients, made two different milk teas for her than the Seven Fruit Drink.

Li Wanyin was dumbfounded as she drank these two cups of milk tea, both of which had an absolutely superb taste and texture.

If these recipes were sold elsewhere, people would probably treat them as their own shop's signature dish and secret recipe, making them extremely difficult to obtain.
But Chen Shi'an's business is like a formula manufacturing plant; he can create new products whenever he wants!
What kind of tongue is this?

Li Wanyin didn't have time to think about it anymore. It seemed that she would be busy learning how to make these fruit drinks and milk teas for the next period of time.

As per the previously agreed-upon technology investment agreement, Chen Shi'an gave all three recipes to Li Wanyin, and then earned one yuan for every cup sold.

He himself didn't really care; these were just ideas that came to him spontaneously and on a whim. It was just that his sister wouldn't accept them for free, so he would just symbolically accept one yuan per cup...

……

It was getting late, so Chen Shi'an made two cups of milk tea and then took his change of clothes to take a shower.

After taking a shower, the kitchen light was still on, and Li Wanyin was still studying the recipe he had just given her.

Hearing the noise, she turned her head to look.

Chen Shi'an had already stood beside her, watching her work, and naturally reminded her, "Don't make the water too hot. Sister Wanyin brewed too strong tea this time. Did you just pour boiling water directly over the tea leaves?"

"Hmm...you could tell that."

"If you're unsure about the temperature, Sister Wanyin can get a thermometer. I estimate it should be around 85 degrees Celsius."

"it is good!"

"Aren't you going to rest yet?"

Hearing Chen Shi'an say this, Li Wanyin, who was focused on learning about milk tea, finally realized what was happening. She picked up her phone to check the time and found that it was already past midnight.

"Haha, I probably drank too much tea while making milk tea, so I didn't feel sleepy at all."

"Sister Wanyin works so hard, what do you want to do with the money you earn in the future?"

Chen Shi'an asked the question naturally, but Li Wanyin felt inexplicably guilty.

"We don't know yet..."

"I don't believe it. Sister Wanyin must have her own ideas. Without a strong goal, she can't sustain long-term efforts."

"..."

Can't you leave people some privacy?!

"Buy a house, buy a car, and make your family live a good life. Then you can achieve financial freedom and travel around. That's what making money is all about."

Li Wanyin reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, turned to look at him, and said half-jokingly:
"When I make money in the future, how about I hire a private tutor for you? Your foundation is so weak, you definitely need to catch up."

"Sister Wanyin takes such good care of me; even after making a fortune, she still remembers to find me a tutor."

"Absolutely! We'll arrange a hundred or so tutors for you, all lined up for you to choose from!"

"Then Sister Wanyin, you'd better hurry up, otherwise in two more years I'll be taking the college entrance exam."

"...!!"

Li Wanyin realized that she really needed to hurry, otherwise the boys' high school would become like an adult!

"Alright, Sister Wanyin, you should get some rest. Haste makes waste. Take things slowly."

"Uh-huh."

It was indeed getting late, so Li Wanyin finally stopped what she was doing and quickly tidied up the kitchen.

Chen Shi'an came over to help, but Li Wanyin refused his help.

"I can handle this. Shi'an, you should go and rest. You've kept me up so late."

"By the way, what time is Sister Wanyin saying we're going to ride bicycles at Mangrove Lake tomorrow?"

"Let's meet at the entrance of Mangrove Lake Park at nine o'clock. We'll go there together. It's not far from here, about a twenty-minute bus ride."

Suddenly remembering Chen Shi'an's identity as a Taoist priest, Li Wanyin asked, "Shi'an, can you ride a bicycle?"

"Nope."

"……what?"

"It's okay, you can learn it tomorrow."

Chen Shi'an really doesn't know how to ride a bicycle, or rather, he has never ridden a bicycle at all. After all, he grew up in the mountains and usually travels with his master on foot.

However, given his learning talent, he should be able to pick up sports that require balance and body control very quickly.

Seeing Chen Shi'an's confident demeanor, Li Wanyin chuckled.

"Alright, we're just riding around aimlessly anyway. If you don't know how to ride, I'll teach you for a day. By the way, are Zhixia and Mengqiu free tomorrow? If they'd like to come, you can invite them to come along too."

"We'll see. I doubt they'll wake up that early. I'll ask again tomorrow. I'm going back to my room to sleep now."

"Mmm, goodnight~"

Chen Shi'an and Fei Mo went back to their room together.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Li Wanyin lay down on the bed.

It's true that you shouldn't drink too much tea at night.

I've drunk too much and can't sleep...
