Chapter 169 I Don’t Want to Go Back to Chu!

Nowadays, apart from a small amount of tribute fruits in the palace, fresh fruits are almost unavailable in other markets in the capital.

Therefore, there are no fruit products in this milk tea shop, and they can only wait for delivery or the next season.

But even so, there are many varieties of milk tea, written on the wooden menu hanging in the shop.

"Rouge rice milk tea, five cents."

"Rouge rice acacia milk tea, seven cents."

[Rouge rice, blood glutinous rice? ]

Xiao Chuchu was held by Xiao Yunzhou, and her eyes were opened.

[Acacia, red beans? 】

Xiao Chuchu was happy, [The milk tea named by Shen Mian has the fragrance of books, the talented scholar and the beautiful woman have a cup~]

"High mountain barley milk tea, five cents."

"Golden bromeliad milk tea, five cents."

"Double happiness milk (taro balls, choose one other ingredient), eight cents."

"Three sheep bring good luck milk tea (Uma balls, choose two other ingredients), ten cents."

"Family happiness (five ingredients can be chosen), fifteen cents."

[Oh, this is almost the same as a modern milk tea shop. 】

Xiao Chuchu was held by Xiao Yunzhou, and soon saw many scholars who stayed in Beijing, or servants and maids of wealthy merchants and officials came to line up and buy it back to try it.

"This is really interesting, drinking tea, but adding so many things to it, is this drinking porridge or eating tea?"

The people who were watching and reluctant to spend money were all chatting.

"If the added ingredients can fill you up, the price is fair. Isn't it said that Wu Yunguo's goat milk and cow milk are added? Tea on East Street costs two cents a bowl."

"Go outside, the tea shop outside the city costs one cent a bowl."

"It's a meal, five cents is not expensive? After all, it's royal food."

The farmers who came to the market were still a little poor, and they only wanted to buy the cheapest cup, and they were still thinking about whether they could fill their stomachs.

But the officials who were queuing up were generous and had no shortage of money, "Give me one for the whole family."

"Give me one for all!"

These particularly wealthy people usually line up at the front of the line.

Soon, they demonstrated to the people who were still watching.

The shop assistants were busy soon.

A crisp bamboo tube as long as a small arm was placed on the table. The assistant added half a cup of clear tea soup, then snow-white milk, and a large spoonful of red bean syrup into the bamboo tube.

After a while, it was delivered to the waiter queuing outside.

At this moment, the people who were watching were all shocked.

"Five cents for so many things?"

"Is it sweet? Did you add sugar?"

The servant who just bought it turned around and answered, "Added sugar, and asked me if I was afraid of the sweetness."

"I bought it back for the young masters and young ladies, and I was afraid that it would be too sweet for them, so I didn't dare to add more sugar."

"The waiter said to give me 50% sugar."

"!!!"

“?”

The farmers who were watching the market were all stunned.

“What? Sugar is added to this tea. Can you choose whether to add more?”

Sugar costs money.

When the family was in financial difficulty, the sugar water was only given to the children, and the adults were reluctant to drink more.

“I am not afraid of sweetness, so can you give me more?”

The milk tea shop was surrounded by people.

[Well, it seems that most poor people in Jingguo will choose full sugar when the milk tea shop is opened. ]

Xiao Chuchu found that modern society is still happy. Everyone is tired of sweet and began to pursue health preservation.

[Unexpectedly, Uncle Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue also thought of asking customers whether they want full sugar or half sugar. It’s amazing. ]

Xiao Yunzhou was also relieved when he heard his daughter’s praise.

Finally, the imperial kitchen was of some use.

Usually, the imperial meals were made for the emperor and the empress. The imperial chef could not afford to offend any master, so he could only remember everyone’s preferences.

This one likes sweet, and this one is afraid of sweet.

This milk tea shop was the first business mission of the imperial kitchen, and the imperial chefs were all trembling.

Anyway, it would not be a big deal to ask the customers how much sweetness they want.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the same business idea as modern milk tea.

"I want a cup too, I'm not afraid of sweetness, I'll put more sugar in it."

"Me too, give me the cheapest five cents, and add more sugar."

In addition to feeling that they get more sugar than others when they spend money to buy sugar water, they also feel that the milk tea shop respects them.

It feels like home, and the experience is very fresh.

"I want two cups of double happiness, one Umaru with sesame balls, and one Umaru with acacia seeds. I also want a cup of family reunion."

The good-looking compatriot "young master" and the maid around him also lined up at the business window of the milk tea shop.

The looks of the young masters soon fell on the decoration of the milk tea shop, and their picky eyes softened.

"I didn't expect this shop to be so clean," the young master with a delicate black mole under the right corner of his eye said in a pleasant voice, "It fits the gimmick of the 'royal'."

"Well, if those tea shops outside are all gray, we can't do it." Another young man with a black mole on the left corner of his eye also smiled and nodded.

They saw that the shop assistants in the shop were all dressed in the same green color, looking very neat, and they all wore hats and put their hair inside.

When the assistants lowered their heads to operate, they did not speak, and their movements were fast and neat.

At the counter, the cashier was in charge of cashing, and the operator was only operating, with division of labor and cooperation.

"It's interesting, but I don't know how it tastes." The three of them were looking forward to it.

"Three cups, do you like sweet food?" asked the cashier.

The leading 'young master' was startled, and quickly nodded and shook his head, "I like it, but I'm afraid it's too sweet."

"Little, young master, I'm not afraid of it being too sweet..." The maid behind them spoke actively.

The accountant nodded, "I'll give you 70% sugar for those two cups and 100% sugar for the other cup, okay?"

The two 'talented men' looked at each other, and there was a flash of interest in their eyes, "Okay."

"With so many cups, can you remember how much sugar each one has?"

The accountant looked up at her, chuckled, and then used the brush in his hand to draw circles on the three empty bamboo tubes.

The two "talented men" blushed immediately, they asked a stupid question.

It turned out that it was written on the empty bamboo cup.

The man who made milk tea knew how to make it by looking at the markings of the circles.

Convenient and accurate.

"Is this royal shop really opened by the court?" The talented man with a beauty mole on his right eye couldn't help asking again.

The cashier quickly collected the money and gave them a wooden sign with three cups of milk tea written on it, "Yes, you go to the empty space next to you and wait. The customers behind you, go forward!"

The talented man blushed immediately, she affected the speed of collecting money.

But when she turned around, she was shocked. When they came just now, there were not many people willing to line up at the door of the milk tea shop.

From observation, it was basically wealthy people with exquisite clothes.

But now, many common people have started to line up.

At this moment, the team has actually turned to the calligraphy and painting shop next door!

"Miss, it seems that the Jing State Treasury is really short of money," the maid Xiaoyuan sighed in a low voice, "Our Chu State has never had the court come out to sell food to the people. This cup is quite expensive."

Ordinary people obviously can't drink it every day.

The only ones who can often care about it are merchants and officials.

The court is obviously making money from these rich people!

How short of money is this!

The maid Xiaoyuan immediately tightly covered her purse.

"The court of Jingguo is really good at robbing money, miss, I think we should go home early..."

But she quickly got the three cups of milk tea they made from the counter next to her.

The maid Xiaoyuan said, lowering her head and taking a sip from the bamboo cup of "Family Reunion", "If we don't leave, Jingguo will rob us of all our money..."

But she couldn't say anything more after just this one sip.

The sweet and delicious warm milk tea instantly slid into her lips and teeth, silky and mellow.

Because there were five kinds of small ingredients, there were too many ingredients, and this sip brought the soft and glutinous red beans and acacia seeds, and the chewy Yumaru.

She chewed it subconsciously in her mouth, and it was sweet and smooth, elastic and soft, sweet on sweet, and it went to her heart in one bite!

She had never eaten such delicious tea snacks!

Why is it opened in Jingguo! ?

"If we want to leave, we have to wait for the result of our bet with the scholar," the woman with the beauty mole on her right eye said, "Don't be impatient, Xiaoyuan."

Xiaoyuan was using a spoon to pick up Yuwan, mixing it with the milk tea, and took two mouthfuls in a row. At this moment, her cheeks were completely puffed up.

Hmm...

"Wuwu, young master, um, now, it's not so urgent..."

"???"
