Several people gathered around the table to eat together, Nie's mother had good cooking skills because she had worked in a housekeeping company for a long time before, and the taste of home-cooked food was excellent.

Zhou Rui has been working outside for many years, but later suffered setbacks in his career, going in and out alone all day long, and he has not felt this warm family atmosphere for a long time.

Coupled with the food made by Nie's mother, he couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice.

Zhou Rui has been in the same room with Nie Qi for the past few days, Nie Qi's personality is already very arrogant, and he is very easy to get along with, seeing that he is silent, he only buries his head in eating, and says with a smile: "Brother Rui, my mother's cooking is good!"

Zhou Rui nodded again and again, "Auntie's cooking is not worse than that in a five-star restaurant." ”

Nie's mother was embarrassed to be praised, and used chopsticks to clip several river shrimp for him, "Xiao Rui, where is it so exaggerated as you said, I just make ordinary home-cooked food, eat more if you like." Do you have a favorite dish to eat, tell me, as long as I can make it for you. ”

There are two younger sisters under Nie's mother, she has taken two younger sisters since she was a child, and she is very good at taking care of people, Zhou Rui is not very old, in her eyes, she is similar to her younger brother. He is Nie Yao's agent again, and Nie's mother is of course willing to take care of him more.

"Thank you, Auntie. Zhou Rui's eyes were slightly hot, and he soon buried his head in eating again.

The business of the franchise store is not good, everyone is not interested in chatting today, and dinner is quickly finished.

Nie Qi helped her mother clean up the kitchen, Nie Yao took a stack of paper cups out, unpacked the milk tea packages of various flavors on the coffee table, and waited for her mother and younger brother to come out of the kitchen and start tasting milk tea.

Five people sat around the sofa, and Nie Yao divided the milk tea in paper cups and handed it to everyone.

Soon, several flavors were tasted, and everyone was stunned.

The first thing Nie Yao asked was Cao Jinglong.

Cao Jinglong was born in the army, and he usually doesn't eat snacks, let alone drink drinks like milk tea, at most when it is hot at night in summer, drink two cans of cold beer.

It can be said that he is unfamiliar with the taste of milk tea.

Cao Jinglong put down the paper cup in his hand, smacked his lips, and said seriously: "To be honest, I think the milk tea of seven cups of tea is a little better, it is more mellow, and the flavor is not so heavy. ”

Even people like Cao Jinglong, who hardly drink milk tea, have said so, and the results are already obvious.

After tasting the milk tea of the two families, even Nie's mother and Nie Yao couldn't say with a clear conscience that the milk tea in their franchise store was delicious.

So the problem is still in the recipe.

Customers are not stupid, they would rather spend a few bucks more for something that tastes better.

As long as the recipe is not changed, they are almost not competitive with Seven Cups of Tea.

After drinking milk tea, Nie's mother was the most frustrated, and it was precisely the formula that they were completely powerless.

Before they did this business, they had never been exposed to milk tea, if it was something else, such as service, price, store decoration, partners, etc., they could find opportunities to improve, but the formula was ......

The formulas of Yugong tea are all provided by the brand owners, are they going to change it? Not to mention how troublesome it is to change the formula, they also need to know how to change it!

Nie's mother sighed, "Let's look at the situation, if it really doesn't work, let's close the store, and sublease the store while we don't lose too much." ”

This time, even Cao Jinglong didn't think of any good way.

He comforted Nie's mother and left.

When I returned to the small building on Heping Street, I discussed it with a few brothers and didn't discuss anything.

Zhou Fa Kong Hao was speechless.

"Old company commander, we can't think of a way to do this, if we knew the secret recipe for milk tea, we would have opened a store a long time ago, and we used to move bricks to the construction site before. ”

Cao Jinglong glared at them angrily.

Kong Hao thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, we will pool the money and open a seven-cup tea family for Sister Chen, so that we can compete fairly." ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Fa gave him a blank look, "What kind of bad idea did you come up with, there is a seven-cup tea store in that place, how can you let go of the second one!

Well, now Kong Hao has no choice, so he can only grab the short board in a hurry.

Zhou Fa comforted Cao Jinglong, "Old company commander, we can't think of a good way now, anyway, we are all here, as long as we need help, you say, what we have is strength." ”

Cao Jinglong was speechless, this is not going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, what do you want that son to do......

At night, Nie Yao went back to the room to rest, lying on the bed and thinking about it.

With his eyes slightly closed, he recalled the taste of the two bubble tea shops.

Then I thought about the secret recipes that I had come into contact with in Dayan before, she had a boring life in the harem at that time, and the most studied were various recipes, including some secret recipes for dietary therapy.

At that time, the empress dowager in Dayan's harem was old, but she was still in good health in her eighties, and even if she looked at her face, she was more than ten years younger than people of the same age.

She is also addicted to various prescriptions for rejuvenation and dietary therapy.

When Nie Yao was a concubine, she relied on a secret recipe to win the favor of the Empress Dowager, and she had nothing to do on weekdays, and the Empress Dowager often invited her to accompany her.

It is precisely because of the protection of the Empress Dowager that she can gradually gain a firm foothold in the harem, even if she does not have the emperor's favor, she has not been pulled down from the position of the fourth concubine.

Later, when she ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager was over 90 years old.

There is no queen mother in the palace, but she still goes to the queen mother every day to say goodbye.

Nie Yao was the emperor for two years, and the empress dowager died.

Before leaving, the Empress Dowager left many secret recipes for Nie Yao.

Because she misses the Empress Dowager, she often looks through the recipes left by her old man when she has nothing to do, and also makes many creams and pills by herself according to the recipes.

Because she has read it many times, even if she changes the world now, those recipes are still clearly imprinted in her mind.

Nie Yao's eyes, who were searching for various secret recipes in his brain, suddenly lit up.

***

Today is the fourth day of the opening of Nie Yao's Imperial Tribute Tea franchise store.

Nie Yao deliberately set aside a day to help in the store today.

Nie Mu and Nie Qi were both standing next to them, and saw Nie Yao seal a few cups of new flavor milk tea and put them aside.

Nie's mother said worriedly: "Xiao Yao, are you sure that guests will like this taste?"

Nie Yao smiled slightly, although she was wearing a mask, her apricot eyes were bent up, like a brilliant crescent moon, "Mom, didn't you and Xiao Qi taste it last night?

Well, as soon as Nie Yao said this, Nie Mu and Nie Qi had confidence.

Nie Qi saw eight cups of new flavored milk tea neatly arranged, and his face wrinkled again, "But how can this new flavor be launched?"

Although they have added new flavors of milk tea to the menu overnight, and have also made posters to put on the side, often not everyone is willing to try new flavors.

There are so many stores, and many stores have new flavors launched every month, but often the best ones are the signature flavors and classic flavors, which are all selected by customers after time precipitation and many times by customers.
