She typed what she wanted to search for into her mind, and a series of answers quickly appeared. She selected a few tea recipes from them, but of course, she still had to experiment with them in real life.

There are herbal teas, fruit teas, and soups.

She listed them out one by one and handed them to Manager Gao, asking him to find a chef to study them. As for the pastries, Manager Gao could decide for himself.

However, the most difficult thing now is how to attract customers, or more accurately, how to get customers to come in.

Ye Yuwu thought the simplest and most direct method was to exploit herd mentality.

First, hire a group of "actors" to create a lively atmosphere, as people love to watch a spectacle.

We'll do some more activities, like giving everyone who enters the teahouse a pot of newly released flower tea, and of course, we'll put up a sign at the entrance with the titles of the books we'll be talking about and the activities we'll be doing.

Some details were agreed upon with Manager Gao.

The next step was to decide on the drinks. In addition to the tea brewed from tea leaves, other beverages were added.

Therefore, the drinks they decided on included: herbal tea - perilla boiled water, fruit and flower powder soup - Er Chen Tang, fermented vegetable juice - lychee fermented vegetable juice, osmanthus fermented vegetable juice and papaya fermented vegetable juice, and fruit juice - bayberry juice, papaya juice and grape juice.

Fruit juice can be used as a main selling point. Simply juice the fruit in advance, filter out the pulp, and simmer the juice over low heat. When customers want it, you can simply add boiling water to the juice and finally add spices such as osmanthus and cloves. It's quick and convenient.

The pastries were decided upon: peach blossom pastry, osmanthus pastry, water chestnut cake, and so on.

Wu Hualing, who was forced into the role of a storyteller, read the storybook "Starfall Rain" in advance and immediately became a fan of Mr. Wuming. He even tried to get another storybook written by Mr. Wuming from Ye Yuwu.

He spent his days engrossed in reading storybooks, but Huaping always felt that he was unreliable and would mess things up when he passed by.

Finally, after resting and renovating, they reopened their tea shop.

Three people were hired in total: one stood outside the door to attract customers, and the other two were responsible for running errands inside the teahouse.

As for the head chef in the kitchen, he has been idle for a long time, and they could not find a head chef in a short period of time.

So Huaping went to ask Ye Yuwu if it would be okay for her father to do it.

Huaping's father had previously learned cooking skills from the head chef at a restaurant, and he could make basic pastries. In the early years, before her mother died, her family lived quite well thanks to her father's cooking skills.

However, Huaping's father fell ill, and the family was unable to make ends meet. It was only when Huaping was only eight years old that she sold herself. If she hadn't been taken in as a maid by Ye Yuwu, she would be selling herself in the Yihong Courtyard now.

Now her father is in much better health and runs a breakfast stall every day, earning some money.

She saw that the girl was worried about this matter, so she volunteered to recommend her father.

Ye Yuwu really didn't expect her father to have this skill, but it wasn't something she could agree to alone, so she spoke to Manager Gao and asked her father to come to the teahouse and try making it.

When Huaping's father heard that his daughter had taken on a big job for him, he was extremely nervous that night. He hadn't cooked for other people's shops for many years, let alone the pastries they were making.

But in order not to embarrass his daughter, he specially changed into his most treasured clothes, which Huaping had asked someone to make for him a long time ago. Even during the New Year, he was reluctant to take them out to wear.

Today, however, she was all cleaned up and dressed neatly before going to Chayunhe.

The moment he saw Ye Yuwu, he felt as if he had seen a celestial being. He was so nervous that his hands trembled, and he kept expressing his gratitude for her care of his daughter over the years.

Later, Huaping couldn't stand him anymore and quickly asked her father to go to the kitchen and show off his skills.

The pastries that Huaping's father makes are quite good. Ye Yuwu gave him the tea recipe, and he was able to make them too.

So her father was put in charge of the kitchen, and of course, she and her younger brother were packed up and taken into the kitchen together.

Otherwise, we'd be too busy just preparing and buying the ingredients.

Since it's the first day of reopening, I don't know how many people will come, so I don't dare to prepare too much.

More than 20 "actors" hired early in the morning were in place.

Then people on the street will see that the teahouse, which was not crowded a few days ago, suddenly has a lot of people coming in and out, and the teahouse is also crowded with people.

The waiter outside the teahouse kept shouting something. If you listen closely, you'll hear that every customer who enters the teahouse today will receive a complimentary pot of freshly brewed tea.

That's not the key point. People passing by also heard someone say that the reason tea was being served today was because Mr. Wu had come!

Who is Mr. Wu? Everyone was puzzled, then they heard someone nearby explain.

It turns out that Mr. Wu is an extraordinary person. He has traveled extensively and witnessed many strange and unusual events. Ordinary people rarely see him. Most importantly, the strange and unusual events he tells are rarely heard by ordinary people. He is the number one storyteller in Tianke.

At this point, another passerby couldn't help but lean over and ask, "What is Tianke? I've never heard of it before?"

"You don't understand, do you? He's a hermit, one of a kind in heaven and earth, and I've also heard that this tea ceremony has invited this hermit to tell Mr. Wuming's new story!"

"Mr. Wuming? Is he the author of 'The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with His Little Maid'?"

"Exactly! Brother, have you seen it?"

"Hey, my wife and daughter love reading these kinds of stories. I'm afraid they'll ruin their brains one day."

"How could that be? Brother, you probably haven't read Mr. Wuming's stories. Come, come, since you're here today, you should listen. Anyway, the seat fee is only ten coins, and tea is included. It's more than enough to pass the time!"

The people who were originally outside were all tricked into going in this way.

The two people pretending to chat at the door were also arranged by Ye Yuwu.

Some women passing by heard that it was a storyteller from Mr. Wuming who was telling stories in the teahouse.

Some of them, even though they had read the storybook before, were still willing to listen to it again.

Most women would request a private room after entering.

With more people, it's easier to attract passersby on the streets.

"This teahouse doesn't look as big as Tianxia Teahouse, so why are there so many people? Everyone's joining in the fun, so I'll go in and take a look too."

"What story does this teahouse tell? 'Starfall Rain'? That name doesn't seem that special. Am I being too superficial? No, I have to go and see!"

"Going to this teahouse is not as good as going to Tianxia Teahouse. Even the Princess often goes there. The lower-class private room there has increased to ten taels of silver. What can this teahouse compare to Tianxia Teahouse in terms of tea quality? Is it just for the free tea they give us?"

"You don't understand, do you? I can't afford to go to a teahouse to kill time, but I can afford to go to this teahouse. I have to see what this story is about! I want to see if the title of the number one storyteller in the world is well-deserved!"

Seeing that many people had gone inside, the man who had been refuted was really unconvinced. He stomped his foot and said angrily, "Fine, I'll go in and see what this teahouse is up to!"
