Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

As one of the behind-the-scenes planners, Li Yu also came when the milk tea shop opened.

Because she was stopped by an old customer of the hot pot restaurant and talked for a while on the way, it was already 2:15 pm when she arrived at the place.

Just as she expected, business was good.

Although it is not as popular as the day the hot pot restaurant opened, but at the current prices, the lobby is full, which is already very good.

Li Yu took a casual look and found that every table in the lobby had ordered milk tea and fried chicken.

The maids and servants who came to buy food for their masters bought almost all the food in the store.

"Boss Li!" Wei Hesong's voice suddenly came from the right side of his body.

Li Yu turned her head and saw Wei Hesong sitting at a table by the window, waving at her with a smile.

Li Yu walked over and said, "Master Wei, you are here too."

"There's a new store in Beijing, so I naturally want to come and try it."

Li Yu immediately showed interest and said, "It seems that Wei Jijiu has already eaten them. What do you think of these things?"

"It's delicious." Wei Hesong said, "Boss Li, you can buy them all and try them later."

Hearing that he liked it, Li Yu's smile got even bigger: "Since Wei Jijiu said so, I'll definitely try it."

*

After a few more pleasantries, Li Yu was about to go buy it, but when he turned around, Wei Hesong stopped him.

He hesitated a little, "Boss Li, do you know who owns this shop?"

He didn't know if he was overthinking it, but he always felt that this shop was related to Boss Li.

Li Yu's heart beat rapidly for a few times, then returned to normal. She shook her head and said, "This is my first time here too, how can I know the owner of this store? Why is Wei Jijiu asking this?"

Seeing that her expression was not fake, Wei Hesong put away his suspicion and said, "It's probably because these things, like hot pot, were not available in Beijing before, and only appeared after Boss Li came."

Li Yu smiled brightly: "So in Wei Jijiu's heart, I am such a powerful person. It's a pity that this shop is really not mine. As the saying goes, there are always people better than you. It's just a coincidence that I made hot pot and barbecue. There are many people in this world who are more powerful than me."

This makes sense. Wei Jijiu said, "I'm overthinking. Boss Li, go buy something."

Li Yu hummed, turned and left.

Apart from anything else, Wei Hesong was really sharp, and this could be connected. There should be many people in Jingcheng who were as active as him, so she had to be more careful next time.

In addition to the prince's people, there were also a few hired helpers in the store.

They didn't know Li Yu's situation and treated Li Yu the same way as other guests.

Wei Hesong originally still had some doubts, but seeing this, he completely suppressed his doubts.

Li Yu bought milk tea and a few other things, and then carried them back to the shop.

In the evening, she received a letter from Mr. Xiang in the hot pot restaurant.

Mr. Xiang said that due to the good pre-promotion, the milk tea and some snacks were really good, and Wei Hesong gave them high praise after tasting them, the things in the store were sold out just after noon.

He had originally asked everyone to prepare a day in advance and stock up on plenty of goods, but in the end there was still not enough to sell.

There is a strong sense of joy between the lines.

Li Yu read the letter twice and then burned it on the fire.

These things in the milk tea shop are not difficult to make, and they will probably be imitated soon. Although she thinks that the imitators will not be able to imitate the taste in the short term, as long as someone makes it, it will inevitably affect their business. She will have to think of a way to deal with it next.

Walking into the lobby, Li Yu looked around.

She wanted to see the status of the customers in the store today, but when she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of the book that Nanny Tian had placed on the counter out of the corner of her eye.

Usually, Aunt Tian is only responsible for greeting customers, collecting cash and managing people behind the counter in the store. She has a lot of free time during the day, and in order to pass the time, she often reads storybooks.

Li Yu had always known about this, but didn't care.

As long as it doesn't delay work and no major mistakes occur, there's no problem with Nanny Tian going out to do other things, let alone read.

Li Yu lowered her eyes and looked at it. Suddenly, she wanted to see what Nanny Tian was reading, so she stepped forward and said, "Mammy, can I see your book?"

Nanny Tian handed her the book without saying a word.

*

This is a storybook called "Feng Yue Hua", which tells the story of a pair of childhood sweethearts who knew each other when they were young, were unfortunately separated due to family changes after getting married, and met again after experiencing many hardships.

It is a vernacular novel that has become very popular in Beijing recently.

Li Yu flipped through a few pages and finally returned to the front.

The author of Fengyuehua is named Mr. Zhuyu, who is obviously a pseudonym. He has never shown his face, but he is one of the best writers in Beijing. Every time he publishes a storybook, people rush to buy it.

Even Li Yu has read other storybooks written by him.

"Boss Li, is there anything wrong with this script?" asked Nanny Tian.

Li Yu shook his head. "No, I just thought of a way to sell milk tea through it."

Nanny Tian was puzzled.

Li Yu turned her head and said, "Mammy, do you know how the new book "Feng Yue Hua" is selling? What's the response?"

Nanny Tian: "This storybook has received rave reviews and is considered the most popular storybook in the capital this year. Almost every noble lady in the capital has secretly bought a copy."

Hearing that the noble lady from aristocratic family liked it, Li Yu smiled and said that there would be no problem.

There are only so many varieties of milk tea, and since the store is just opening, they can’t make all kinds of milk tea in a short period of time. In this case, they have to work hard in other aspects.

For example, collaborating with Mr. Zhuyu to produce a co-branded milk tea.

As long as it is made, those noble ladies from aristocratic families will definitely like it.

Li Yu immediately wrote a reply to Mr. Xiang, asking him to find out who Mr. Zhu Yu was and see if they could cooperate.

*

Having resolved a worry, Li Yu felt relaxed.

A customer saw her smiling and said, "Boss Li, a new milk tea shop opened in Beijing today. The tea they make is really delicious. Aren't you worried that the shop will steal your business?"

Seeing that the person who was talking was a familiar customer, Li Yu smiled and said, "I also drank the milk tea and ate the food in the milk tea shop. It was really good. But I'm not worried. My shop is in the outer city and that shop is in the inner city. It won't have much impact."

The guest thought Li Yu was too careless, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Li Yu really didn't need to worry.

Hotpot can be eaten as a main meal, but those snacks cannot. When they invite people to dinner, they still have to go to a hotpot restaurant. Especially in winter, eating hotpot warms you up!

*

In the next few days, the number of customers in the milk tea shop continued to increase.

Fortunately, Prince An’s Mansion and the Crown Princess’s family’s farm raised cows, which was able to meet the demand for making milk tea.

The store currently serves regular milk tea, orange milk tea and rock sugar snow pear. In addition, you can add various small ingredients to the milk tea, such as red beans, crushed red dates, raisins, glutinous rice balls, and walnuts.

Li Yu also plans to add some fruit pieces in it later.

As for snacks, fried chicken is the most popular among customers, mainly because it is popular among people of all ages, men and women, followed by potato chips and sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Sugar-fried hawthorns were the least popular item, and most of the buyers were women. But even if the amount was small, it was still more than the most popular item in the candied fruit shops.

A week after the milk tea shop opened, everyone in Beijing knew about the existence of Dongxue Milk Tea Shop.

Business is good and Mr. Xiang is smiling from ear to ear.

But some people were unhappy.
