On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, Song Chen's milk tea shop officially opened.
Song Chen unveiled it in person, and the words "Tea Fragrance Seeking Sweetness" were delicately engraved on it.
The font is very comfortable to look at. In addition to this, Song Chen's plaque is also different from other people's plaques. There are also some playful patterns carved on her plaque that make people forget it after just one glance.
Don't fall off.
Last night, the scholar sent over two thousand labels that had been made in advance. Song Chen was very satisfied after seeing them this morning. The scholar paid great attention to details.
Song Chen appreciated this very much.
"Miss Song, congratulations."
As soon as the red silk was opened, Shopkeeper Zhong from Liuweizhai and Shopkeeper Zhong from Huichun Hall appeared in front of Song Chen. Both of them smiled and congratulated Song Chen.
"You two shopkeepers are very polite. You are so busy and you still come to support my small shop. I am really grateful."
Song Chen also smiled back.
These two were quite well-known figures in the town, and the fact that they appeared at such a corner shop at the same time surprised the few people who were watching.
"What Miss Song said is obvious. We came here uninvited, and we hope that Miss Song won't be angry." Shopkeeper Zhong offered his congratulatory gift.
Shopkeeper Cui was not to be outdone, "What Lao Zhong said is that we came uninvited, so Miss Song must not be angry."
"What are you two talking about? When I opened this small shop, I didn't originally plan to do anything like that, and I didn't dare to waste your precious time. But since you two are here, you want to have a taste of what I have here. Let's see.
See if it suits your taste."
"Wait a minute, everyone, I'll go and help you do it right now."
Shopkeepers Zhong and Cui didn't know what the milk tea Song Chen sold here was, so they were naturally happy to hear that Song Chen was going to make it for them personally.
Two people were standing outside Song Chen's shop, one on the left and the other on the right. They had never seen the layout of her shop before. Other shops had to introduce customers to the door, but here she blocked the customers outside.
.
After Song Chen entered the store, he went to the other side of the operation room where Shopkeeper Cui and the others saw. Song Chen's work here was semi-open, and her movements could be seen by people outside.
At this time, they also knew what the big clay pots on the ground in Song Chen were for. Once the clay pots were opened, steam came out, and with the heat came an indescribable fragrance.
Like tea, it seems to have something more to it.
On Song Chen's right side was a large shelf, with rows of white porcelain cups on it, three or four inches in size. Song Chen added some things to it one by one, and then put them on the quilt.
A label was brought over and given to them.
"Shopkeeper Cui has been dealing with medicinal materials all year round. What I prepared is a sweeter milk tea. Shopkeeper Zhong is more exposed to sweets, so the tea I prepared for you is stronger."
This was the first time they heard about milk tea, and they couldn't wait to take a sip.
The taste buds are instantly opened.
"It's strange, it's really strange." Shopkeeper Zhong felt very satisfied. Over the years, he had been dealing with sweets and would often remind his guests to drink more tea, but he never thought that there was such a way to drink tea.
"To be honest, this thing of mine is really not prepared for people like you two. The customers I mainly want to attract are young people."
Song Chen turned back and pointed to the counter on the other side of the store, "Shopkeeper Zhong, can you see the counter over there? I plan to put some desserts there for customers to choose from. I may go back to you every day to get some.
come over."
When shopkeeper Zhong heard this, he became even more happy, "I wish you all the best, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. I quite like drinking your milk tea. I think I'm still young at heart, hahaha~"
After shopkeeper Zhong said this, he started laughing.
In fact, Shopkeeper Cui also had the same feeling as him, "I also like this milk tea. Drinking a cup of hot milk tea on such a cold day makes me feel a lot warmer."
After speaking, Shopkeeper Cui lowered his head and glanced at the label on his cup, "Ganchadu, what a good name. I'll look for this one next time."
"Okay, let me remember it for you."
"Then please remember this for me. Don't mention it when you meet Oolong. Miss Song, the names of your milk teas are really interesting."
"Hahaha, thank you both for supporting me. If you continue to praise me, I won't know what to say."
The three of them just stood outside, chatting from time to time.
Over there, I asked Ping and Qiu An that they were ready to start selling.
"Everyone who is passing by, please take a look. On the first day of our opening, Chatianxunxiang is offering free milk tea. Come and try it. I guarantee you will not regret it after drinking it."
"You will regret it if you don't try it. It's a brand new drink. Drink it in winter and your whole body will be warm. The free time is limited, so don't miss it."
"Come, come, come~"
The two of them kept saying this one after another, and several people coming and going on the road were attracted by the free thing.
Shopkeeper Cui and Shopkeeper Zhong looked at the milk tea in their hands, "Is this free?"
"The opening is free for two days. Please help with publicity. Anyone who wants to drink can come here. It's more cost-effective to come here while I'm free." Song Chen smiled heartlessly.
Shopkeeper Cui didn't have much to say, so no wonder this girl didn't even get an invitation when she opened her business.
"No, it's free, thank you. Tea is such a precious thing, so the cost of your cup is not low."
"That's right, the milk added in it, you think about how hard it was for your cows to get it, why is it free like this?"
The two of them strongly disapproved of Song Chen's free approach.
"Two shopkeepers, my milk tea is really a new thing. If I don't open the market first, my business will not be easy to do in the future. I have to let others know about this thing first, and then customers will come to my door."
"
As if to confirm Song Chen's words, as soon as she finished speaking, several people ran to the counter, "What kind of milk tea do you give away for free? What is milk tea?"
Song Chen looked back at those people. They were all around fifteen, sixty or seven years old, and they were all young men. Judging from their attire, they should be students in a book school.
"Milk tea is a kind of tea drink that has more flavor than drinking tea. Do you want to try it? We are free today and tomorrow. You can tell me your usual taste and I will make it for you."
Wen Ping has been with Song Chen for so long and has learned a lot, and now she is no longer shy at all.
Scholars are always more knowledgeable and willing to try new things. After Wenping knew the preferences of several people, she began to prepare milk tea for each of them according to their preferences.
After making a cup of Qiu'an, I put a label on it and handed it to them, "We also have a place to sit in the store. You can sit down and drink, but if you want to take it away, you need to pay a deposit for the cup."
Song Chen's custom-made cup is minimalist and very beautiful. It is said that good looks kill everything.
The person who got the milk tea just looked at the cup for a while, and finally took a careful sip.
The sweetness entered the throat from the mouth and slid into the stomach. The whole body felt warm in the cold wind. After taking a sip, I seemed to feel a lot better.
"Try it quickly. It's sweet and delicious. It's very delicious."
"Seriously? Tea can still be sweet and delicious?"
"What kind of tea? This is milk tea. It's sweet but it also has tea flavor in it. It has a very magical taste."
Those who haven't gotten the milk tea yet heard what their companions said and immediately couldn't wait to try it, "Girl, please do it quickly."
"Okay, sir, wait a moment." Wen Ping responded with a smile, but the movements of her hands did not slow down.
Soon, three cups of milk tea were delivered to them.
The three of them simply did as Qiu An said and sat at the table on the other side, sipping slowly and chatting about knowledge while drinking. It was very comfortable.
The three of them were so lost in conversation that they didn't even realize their glasses were empty.
"Girl, can you give me another cup? I can pay for it." One of the scholars shook his cup, still not satisfied.
"I'm really sorry, we don't charge money for these two days, but each person is limited to one drink." Qiu An smiled apologetically.
The young man was also a little embarrassed. He had indeed seen it on the sign at the door, and each person was limited to one drink.
So, if he wants to taste such delicious food, he can only come again tomorrow.
"Thank you very much, girl. Come back tomorrow. I hope the girl won't get bored."
It was a bit embarrassing to drink other people's food for free, but he really wanted to drink it. Just now, he was drinking milk tea while discussing his studies with his classmates. Time seemed to fly by quickly, and things that were not clear at first became clear.
"Young master, just come. We welcome you very much."
The three of them left the milk tea shop and went home. Naturally, they wanted to talk about the milk tea when they got home. The younger brothers at home all told their parents and ran to the milk tea shop.
Go home after drinking.
After returning home, I naturally had another aftertaste.
In one morning, more than 30 cups were given away for free.
Everyone's tastes are also very different, some like something sweeter, some like something with a stronger tea flavor, but without exception, they all like something with milk.
Song Chen and the others had their lunch at shopkeeper Zheng’s house at the back. Shang Qiao’s craftsmanship was very good.
But not long after eating, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Is there still milk tea? Why is it closed?"
Wen Ping paused and quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, "Girls, you eat first, I'll go out and take a look."
After saying that, he got up and ran outside.
Outside the milk tea shop, several girls were guarding. When Wen Ping came out, they looked at her expectantly, "Sister, have you run out of milk tea?"
"No, we have plenty of food for the past two days. We just went to have lunch. Do you want milk tea?" Wen Ping answered as she opened the door.
Several girls nodded quickly, "I heard from my brother that it tastes good, and I want to try it too. I like sweet things very much."
