Chapter 190 Selling Milk Tea
The pearl milk tea from Mao Xi's family became an instant hit in Kaitang County, and people started asking the food pickers to come to the shop to pick up the drinks and take them home.
Although the milk tea is served in a bamboo cup, it can be sealed with bamboo leaves and hemp rope. But there was one thing missing. Mao Xi always felt that this pearl milk tea was missing its soul.
That’s right, it’s a straw!
The pearls in the milk tea must be sucked and eaten to be chewy and flavorful.
The first thing she thought of was that ancient people used lotus stems instead of straws. Although this could solve the problem of straws, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond could not be collected all the time.
Brother Yu, who delivered river fresh food to the snack shop, sent lotus stems twice, so Mao Xi canceled.
There were not many guests eating out, and the useless lotus stems could only be kept for one day and had to be thrown away the next day.
Mao Xi habitually opens the universal virtual mall.
Very good! The mall actually sells paper straws.
Mao Xi chose two sizes, thick and thin, and bought 100 pieces of each.
<Paper straws purchased successfully>, costing 20 Wen.
With this straw, Mao Xi also used [porcelain cup + straw] to sell in the shop. For takeaway food, bamboo cups and straws are used.
Two old friends came to the candy shop, Su Xuexue's boy and Nalan Jue's maid.
The two heard that the sugar water shop sold an edible pearl drink for their followers to eat.
Mao Xi packed it carefully and specifically told them to use straws to drink milk tea.
"Yan'er, remember to tell your son, use a straw to eat the brown sugar pearls in the cup, it will taste better."
"Shop Manager Shu Xi, our young master also wants a cup of coffee. He asked me to ask you, do you have any new products?"
Mr. Nalan's coffee shop sells coffee himself, so he came to join in the fun this time.
"There are new products, please wait a moment, let your young master taste them first this time."
Mao Xi came to the kitchen. She cooked a pot of Yuanyang milk tea and was about to start promoting and selling it.
Yuanyang milk tea is a one-to-one mixture of coffee and black milk tea. It has a mellow and silky taste. It has the richness of milk tea and the bitterness and sweetness of coffee. The two drinks are a perfect fusion.
After packing up the Yuanyang milk tea, Mao Xi introduced it to the maid Yan'er: "Yan'er, this is the new Yuanyang milk tea. You, Mr. Nalan, should come to the shop to drink the freshly prepared one when you have time. It tastes better."
Having said that, Ma Xi hopes that Nalan Jue will come in person because of his own halo.
After all, Mr. Nalan is handsome and wealthy, and there are many ladies and ladies in Kaitang who are thinking about him.
If he could come to the candy shop from Lihua Town, he would definitely attract more customers.
This new Yuanyang milk tea also needs some publicity stunts. After thinking about it, Mao Xi decided to make a fuss about the word "Yuanyang".
She asked the scholar to write a short storybook. The main content of the story is that a young couple fell in love over Yuanyang milk tea, quarreled because of a misunderstanding, and finally reconciled over a cup of Yuanyang milk tea. The storybook is named "Yuanyang Milk Tea Fate"
Lou Lan'er will tell the story to everyone at the Tang Shui Shop.
Lou Lan'er got the storybook written by Xiucai, and after reading it, she complained to him: "Xiucai, are you taking the story of me and Mr. Qi as a prototype? Why do I read it so awkwardly?"
The scholar defended: "The people like to listen, and the twists and turns of the story are what make it interesting. You see, the whole family is happy in the end. The loving two reconciled over the Yuanyang milk tea. How perfect! I just wanted to write that they gave birth to a little Yuanyang!"
Lan'er's face turned red as soon as she heard the scholar talking about the little mandarin duck.
Fortunately, this sweet water shop is in Kaitang County. If Mr. Qi Rui heard him talking about "Yuanyang Milk Tea" in Lihua Town, she would die of embarrassment.
Mao Xi hurriedly stepped forward and comforted her: "Sister Lan'er, the official sale of Yuanyang milk tea will begin tomorrow. If you tell this story for a week, you won't tell this story anymore."
Before traveling through time, Mao Xi went to buy milk tea. Some merchants would give away cups or add money to give away cups.
Her Yuanyang milk tea is also being prepared for giveaways.
Mao Xi went to Guanyun Bridge, found cousin Yuying, and bought some purses and small pendants with mandarin duck embroidery from her.
"Ah Shu, what do you want so many little mandarin duck pendants for?" Cousin Yuying asked doubtfully.
"Sister, I'll give these as gifts to customers. I may order some from you in the future."
"What new product? Your snack shop wants to sell mandarin duck meat?"
Cousin Yuying was extremely confused, and the Gao couple next to them looked contemptuous, and they were at odds with Mao Xi as always.
"Cousin, you are joking. It is a kind of drink called Yuanyang Milk Tea. If you have time, go to the Kaitang County Fair. I opened a sweet shop there called Liu's Sweet Shop. Uncle and aunt, you two After the pancakes are sold out, come over if you have time~"
Mr. Gao turned his head to the side and looked at his soy milk breakfast stall, cough! This man is more infuriating than anyone else.
The next day, the weather was clear and warm.
Yuanyang milk tea has officially started to be sold. The waiter Atang is holding a small cup of milk tea outside the shop, inviting passers-by to try it.
Mu Zhiyuan and Mao Xi held up mandarin duck pendants and purses to sell to passers-by.
"The new Yuanyang Milk Tea costs 8 cents per serving. The second cup for couples is half price, and the first fifty people will receive a purse or small pendant."
Single men and women generally choose to have purses, but little kids, without exception, want this small pendant.
Nalan Jue actually came to the candy shop and ordered some mandarin duck milk tea and fruits, and ate them in the shop.
Mr. Nalan is dressed in white, elegant and elegant, as moist as a crown.
Some ladies passing by were all attracted into the shop by this unique scenery, and they all wanted to have a beautiful encounter with him.
Seeing that the candy shop was full, and the timing was right, Ma Xi winked at Lou Lan'er, and she began to explain the storybook "Yuanyang Milk Tea Love".
The young ladies drank Yuanyang milk tea and listened to love stories. Occasionally they glanced at Mr. Nalan secretly and couldn't hide their laughter.
Although Ma Xi is only fifteen years old now, she has a twenty-nine-year-old soul living in her body!
Looking at the young ladies in front of them, holding a cup of Yuanyang milk tea in their hands, everyone showed their longing for love, she actually smiled like an aunt.
Mao Xi wrote on the wooden signboard with charcoal pen: brown sugar pearls, order one penny/portion, and shouted to open it again.
"Shopkeeper, I'm going to buy a portion of poplar nectar. Can I add these brown sugar pearls as well?"
“Can I order two brown sugar pearls?”
"Waiter, give me another cup of Yuanyang milk tea. I want it with brown sugar pearls."
……
I just wrote down the instructions for adding ingredients, and the brown sugar pearls cooked in advance are sold out.
A Yuan, the assistant cook, took a round spoon and invited Mao Xi into the kitchen: "Shopkeeper, the brown sugar pearls are sold out, there is not enough at all!"
"Let's rub pearls together!"
Mu Zhiyuan, Mao Xi, and A Yuan started kneading the dough and rolling the pearls together in the afternoon. They cooked two pots full of spare brown sugar pearls, and then they took a breath.
