Chapter 430: Four hundred and thirty two race tracks_1

"Wife, how did you feel about the coffee you drank yesterday?" Gu Chen asked Ji Pianran.

When Ji Pianran heard about the coffee, the first thing that came to mind was how extremely excited she became after drinking the coffee and how Gu Chen had put her to sleep through physical therapy after.

Thus, she naturally assumed that Gu Chen was referring to the therapy.

"No way! I’m too tired today!" Ji Pianran said directly.

Gu Chen was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a full three seconds to realize the meaning behind Ji Pianran’s words.

What does being too tired today mean? He was clearly talking about the coffee.

"I’m talking about the coffee," Gu Chen reiterated.

Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen’s very serious face and saw that he wasn’t joking.

Only then did she seriously answer Gu Chen’s question.

"Personally, I think the coffee was quite good, it had the full package: color, aroma, and taste.

It didn’t have any unnecessary ingredients, it was true original flavor coffee, very fragrant and pure.

If I see it on the street, I’d consider it if it’s priced under ten yuan.

Ah, speaking of which, I suddenly feel like having some now, do we still have that coffee at home?"

As Ji Pianran spoke her inner thoughts, she couldn’t help but start craving coffee again.

Gu Chen nodded after hearing this, considering Ji Pianran’s review to be quite fair and objective.

She hadn’t allowed the fact that he made the coffee to skew her opinion in any way.

Seeing how high the coffee was rated, Gu Chen genuinely planned to give it a good think.

He had only two things left to research: whether to grow his own coffee seedlings, or to use Spiritual Spring water for brewing coffee in the future.

Thinking about the long term, he felt that growing coffee seedlings was the best approach.

The key point was that around Spiritual Spring, he didn’t have to be picky about the environment.

Normally, growing coffee seedlings requires a very particular environment, which is why they have never appeared in local fields.

While brewing coffee for Ji Pianran, Gu Chen mulled over the pricing for the market.

Regardless of how he did it, he would definitely produce coffee that far exceeded the market in flavor.

So, should he aim for the high-end path or the mass market?

Or should he take two tracks at once?

But how could you make two different varieties of coffee?

His mind was flooded with thoughts, and a complete industrial chain began to take shape in his mind.

During this time, he planned to get Xiao Fang up to speed as quickly as possible, and then he would delve into the coffee business.

Unlike cooking, coffee didn’t require him to do anything hands-on.

He only needed to provide the raw materials; anyone with hands could handle it.

That night, since Ji Pianran had drunk Gu Chen’s coffee, she became much more spirited.

This made Ji Pianran feel quite helpless about herself.

The key point was that she couldn’t stop thinking about wanting to drink it, even though it was already the middle of the night, approaching one o’clock, and Ji Pianran was still wide-eyed.

"Husband, not to mention the taste, the stimulating effect of your coffee is truly scary," Ji Pianran remarked to Gu Chen.

Although she didn’t know how Gu Chen had figured it out, it was really good.

It was completely a brand new business opportunity.

At that point, Gu Chen smiled amiably at Ji Pianran and said, "If you don’t get to sleep soon, you probably won’t be able to get up tomorrow morning."

Hearing Gu Chen’s words, Ji Pianran started to get anxious.

"What should I do? Sigh, I won’t drink your coffee tomorrow then."

She was a little regretful, her face etched with struggle.

Though she said one thing, her true feelings about coffee existed deep within her heart.

If Gu Chen made another cup of coffee now, she was sure she would not hesitate to send it straight to her stomach.

At that moment, Gu Chen spoke seriously, "I don’t know what to do about this; husband’s going to sleep first, ha."

He knew exactly what Ji Pianran needed most right now, but he refrained from saying anything, as if deliberately teasing her.

After turning off the lights, Ji Pianran lay in bed, tossing and turning.

In less than ten minutes, it was as if she had surrendered to the world.

She actively reached out her hand towards Gu Chen.

The next morning, Ji Pianran left in a clumsy rush.

Gu Chen took Tangtang to the kindergarten.

He returned to Qiwei Vegetarian alone and started meticulously imparting his experience to Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang was very diligent and hardworking, qualities Gu Chen greatly admired.

Gu Chen was confident that it wouldn’t take long for Xiao Fang to get used to everything.

Right now, Xiao Fang was just a bit nervous emotionally, mainly because the customers at Qiwei Vegetarian were very picky.

But during that period, Gu Chen always had Xiao Fang stand by his side.

This had two purposes.

First, he intentionally let the regular customers see her, as a way of giving them a heads up that someone new might soon take over at Qiwei Vegetarian.

Second, it was to allow Xiao Fang to get accustomed to the customers beforehand, so she wouldn’t get flustered in case any issues arose later on.

Gu Chen’s thoughtful plans were very effective.

Some of the regulars would ask Gu Chen about it proactively.

Others were smarter and understood that this was a change that simply couldn’t be helped.

Everyone had a basic idea of how much Gu Chen earned now.

A person of Gu Chen’s worth, how could he possibly stay cooped up in this tiny kitchen forever.

After finishing his tasks, Gu Chen went directly to look for coffee plants in the afternoon.

Finding these coffee plants was really challenging because there were too few growers in Chuan City.

Perhaps due to geographic reasons, people didn’t like to break through this technological barrier.

Instead, they chose to diligently cultivate other agricultural products.

Gu Chen searched the market for nearly an entire afternoon.

He bought ten bundles of coffee plants.

After picking up Tangtang and returning home, Gu Chen planted all the coffee plants next to Spiritual Spring.

He believed that Spiritual Spring would certainly not reject the coffee plants.

The outcome turned out to be exactly as Gu Chen had predicted.

That evening, Gu Chen made Ji Pianran another cup of coffee, and it was not because he wanted to intentionally harm her.

It was Ji Pianran who actively asked Gu Chen to do so, even using the pretext of wanting a good night’s sleep to reject her request.

Eventually, Ji Pianran resorted to threats, forcing Gu Chen to yield to the pressure and make her another cup of coffee.

The situation was nearly identical to the previous night.

When Ji Pianran lay in bed unable to fall asleep, she actively sought out Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was like an instrument for lulling her to sleep, letting Ji Pianran manipulate him as she wished.

The next morning,

The first thing Gu Chen did upon waking up was to check on the situation around Spiritual Spring.
