Chapter 116: Hot and Sour Noodles Ingredients Are Running Out, Milk Tea Is a Substitute
Xinghua and Huaer both followed Liu Niang to the village. The shop was obviously short of staff, so I simply picked two more young men and asked Su Lai to take them to the shop.
Liu Niang left the small courtyard, and I slept alone. I asked Cao'er to move into the small courtyard to keep me company. After Liu Niang and the others moved back to the village, they also moved their belongings there, and the backyard of the store was basically empty.
I thought about it and asked Su Lai and his son if they wanted to move into the store as well?
After all, renting a house is not as convenient as a store. Su Chen immediately moved his things to the store, found a room at the back, and slept in the same room with Su Lai. The empty room was left for the two young men.
After doing all this, Su Chen came to me.
"Boss, there aren't many sweet potato vermicelli left. What do you think we should do with them?"
In the past, there were things piled up everywhere, and I really didn't notice it. Today, I moved all the things to the embroidery workshop in the village. The courtyard seemed empty. I pushed open the room where the sweet potato vermicelli was piled before, and the room of Xiuwen and Xiaobao was also empty, with only a small pile left on the wooden shelf.
This is a problem. Without materials, the store cannot be run!
"Manager Su, go back and rest first, and think about what to do next."
Seeing that I already knew it, Su Chen didn't hesitate and just bowed and went back to the store.
I turned around and sat on the stone bench in the yard, propping my chin with my hand and looking up at the sky. What should I do? How should the store continue to develop?
Cao'er was sorting the things she had moved over. Seeing me racking my brains, she comforted me, "Boss, don't think about it anymore. Just take a rest! There will always be a way."
Yes, there is always a way, but what is it?
Hot pot? It seems not possible. It's hot now. What should I sell? Is there anything that can be eaten in both hot weather and winter?
By the way, I can make milk tea! Milk tea shops are popular among many people nowadays. But milk tea shops need milk from goats and cows to make milk!
I slammed the table and said, "Cao'er, do you know where I can buy dairy goats?"
Cao'er was startled by me. "Boss, what do you want dairy sheep for?" My mother and her family raise sheep on the farm! I just don't know if those sheep are producing milk now.
"Okay, Cao'er, go back to the farm tomorrow and visit your mother to see if there are any dairy goats. I can buy their milk."
Although I bought Cao'er and Xinghua, I did not restrict them from being close to my family. Last month, Cao'er's mother came to visit her, and Cao'er asked her mother to take the piece of cloth I gave her back. I also gave all the monthly salary to her mother.
Cao'er was sold voluntarily. Because his mother was sick and he had no money to treat her, he came to my shop to buy two people, and then he sold himself.
I like Cao'er from the bottom of my heart. If Cao'e finds someone she likes in the future, I plan to return her bond to her.
Cao'er returned to the farm the next day and brought me a large can of goat's milk in the evening.
I was overjoyed to receive the goat milk, and I remembered the recipe of modern milk tea. Water, milk, tea leaves, and sugar. Now I have milk and water, and as for tea leaves, I think there was a box of it in the gift that Jiangchuan asked Chuqi and the others to bring last time, and there is still some sugar left at home.
You need everything, just don’t wait, once all the materials are ready, start right away.
I cleaned the pot, poured water into it, then found a piece of white gauze, wrapped the tea leaves, threw them in, and started to boil the tea water. When I saw that the water had turned yellow, I added sugar and stirred it slowly with my hands. When I saw that all the sugar had melted, I turned off all the firewood and poured in the milk. The fire could not be too high at this time, so I stirred it slowly.
Before long, a strong milky aroma wafted out.
Cao'er had just come out of the shower and when she smelled the fragrance, she went straight to the kitchen.
I poured a bowl of the prepared milk tea and handed it to Cao'er. Cao'er smelled it and took a big sip.
"How did you make this? It tastes so good. The milk used to be so raw that children didn't want to drink it. But this one tastes so good. If we sell it in the store, it will definitely be a big hit."
"Sweet potato vermicelli is not very popular now. I want to sell it in limited quantities, just a few bowls a day. The rest of the time I'll sell this milk tea! By the way, does your mother have a lot of dairy sheep? How many can you supply in a day?"
"My mother doesn't have many. Now we have two that produce milk. Are they enough?"
"It's okay, use it first! Goat milk is priced at five cents per pound. OK, ask your mother if she can afford the price. If she can, then ask her to supply it every day, and you can buy milk from your mother in the future."
"Of course, sir. My mother said it's free."
"That won't do. From now on, let Su Lai go earlier every day to get it. Let me pay you once every half a month. If you pay me once a day, sometimes I may be too busy and forget. You should go and make it clear with your mother tomorrow!"
"Thank you, sir. I'll go tomorrow."
The next day, Su Lai drove a horse-drawn carriage to deliver grass to the farm, told her mother the price, and brought back some goat milk.
Because we left very early, it was only daybreak when we returned! I asked Su Chen to put up a big notice at the door of the store.
Due to the shortage of ingredients, our hot and sour noodles are now limited to five bowls per day, first come first served. In addition, our store will launch a new delicacy from today, which is delicious, rich and fragrant, and the ingredients are extremely rare. A total of 30 cups are launched for the first time. Welcome everyone to come and taste it.
As soon as the milk tea was made, everyone in the store was given a bowl to taste. Su Chen set the price at 15 cents, on the grounds that rare things are valuable.
Five bowls of sweet potato vermicelli were gone quickly.
The aroma of brewed milk tea drifted from the lobby of the store to the street. A passing carriage stopped in front of the store. Then, a maid came in to ask, "What are you selling? This aroma is so unique."
Su Lai hurried forward and said proudly, "This is a delicacy unique to our restaurant, called milk tea. You can't get it anywhere else. Your young lady really has good taste. The price is not expensive, only 15 cents a cup. How about it? Want a cup?"
The maid said nothing. She turned around and went to the carriage again, whispering something to the people in the carriage. Then she quickly returned to the store and stood by the counter and said to Su, "I want to buy five bowls, hurry up."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Su Lai didn't bother to take care of the two young men who had just arrived, and quickly poured five bowls of milk tea and handed them over.
The maid took it with a haughty look, carried it to the carriage and handed it in.
Soon, the people in the carriage finished their milk tea, and the bowls were handed out from inside the carriage. They said, "Xiao Tao, it's well made. The taste is very unique. Ask the store owner if he sells his recipe?"
Xiao Tao took the bowl respectfully and put it back in front of Su Lai. "Our lady wants to ask if you can sell this recipe?"
Su Lai was a little surprised. He looked back at me and shook his head.
Su Lai: "The recipe is not for sale. If you like it, you can come and eat it often."
The maid was a little unhappy and was about to speak when the person in the carriage spoke up, "Xiao Tao, come back. Don't force it."
Xiao Tao stamped her feet, turned around and went back to the carriage. The carriage moved quickly and slowly went away.
After this opening, several more people came into the store attracted by the aroma of milk tea. Thirty bowls of milk tea were sold out quickly.
I also breathed a sigh of relief that the milk tea finally started selling.
