[006] High returns
Tie Niu was skeptical, picked up a cup and sniffed it in front of his nose first, a rich milky aroma and egg fragrance were refreshing, just this smell was enough to make people intoxicated.
Immediately after that, it is poured into the mouth, smooth and delicate, and the aroma fills the mouth and refreshes the spleen.
"It's delicious." Tie Niu stretched out his tongue without any image and carefully licked the inner wall of the wine glass, and then exclaimed loudly.
He reached out to take the second cup, and Zhou Min simply slapped his hand away with a small twig, and said, "Stop, everyone who is free can only eat one cup, and if you don't give more." ”
"Just let me have another drink, just one cup, okay?" Iron bull's eyes looked at these milk teas and couldn't help but swallow saliva.
Zhou Min didn't let it at all, no matter how he begged, he just didn't give it, and the "exchange" between the two attracted many onlookers.
Tie Niu begged to no avail and was ready to snatch it, but Zhou Min took the entire tray away, and said with a smile: "I said that if I don't give it, I won't give it, how can there be so much free food, and you have to pay for it if you eat it again." ”
Without saying a word, Tie Niu ripped off his purse, for fear that Zhou Min would not give him food, grabbed a large handful of copper coins, and said eagerly: "Oh, is it enough?" Do I still want to eat? ”
Zhou Min smiled: "It's about the same, then you go inside to eat, my brother is making it, I'm letting people eat it for free." ”
When Tie Niu heard this, he immediately rushed into the teahouse like a little whirlwind, and shouted loudly: "I want to eat milk tea, hurry up and serve it to me, I will eat as much as I want, I am not short of money, master." ”
Passers-by looked at the young man who seemed to be enchanted in amazement, and then focused their eyes on the tray in Zhou Min's hand, this white and red thing, is it really so delicious?
Zhou Min saw that the opportunity could not be missed, so he talked endlessly about the benefits of this milk tea, from quenching thirst to moistening the throat and refreshing, and then to prolonging life, it was almost brought back to life.
Since this thing is free, plus there are many benefits, everyone has the mentality of giving it a try, and one person takes a cup.
The reaction of these people after eating milk tea was the same as that of the previous Iron Bull, although it was not as exaggerated as him, but their steps also involuntarily walked inside.
Although the price of a bowl of milk tea is as high as ten yuan, which is almost the same price as the top tea in the tea shop opposite, those diners also have to take out the silver with a painful face, this unique taste is really irresistible.
Zhou Yi kept making milk tea in the back, and he switched to a large pot, which can cook dozens of cups of milk tea at a time. Not to mention, although Zhou Yi received ten cents, this amount is absolutely sufficient.
Everyone ate bowl after bowl, and a load of milk was quickly sold out.
When Zhou Yi hung up the sold-out brand of milk tea, those diners were still unsatisfied, but there was no way, they could only hold on to their bulging stomachs and reluctantly leave the Daguan Tea House.
Ten dollars for a bowl of milk tea, two barrels of milk sold a total of one hundred and seventy-three bowls of milk tea, priced at one thousand seven hundred and thirty yuan.
According to the previous waste and the part that everyone eats, Zhou Yi formulated a rule for making one hundred and fifty bowls of milk tea with one load of milk.
At this time, no one will take milk as a regular drink, so the price is extremely low, the cost of a load of milk is only 50 yuan, and sugar is 5 yuan a catty.
Zhou Min is a good hand at calculating money, but after a while, she calculated the result, and shouted happily: "We have earned 1,134 yuan today, which is more than the usual money!" ”
Zhou Yi grinned, it seems that this step was not wrong, this speed of making money can already be said to be a demon.
The reason why milk tea makes money is because eighty percent of a cup of milk tea is just water, and water does not cost money.
At noon, Zhou Min stewed a very big chicken, accompanied by a few side dishes, called the two little guys, and the four of them ate together.
During the chat, everyone chatted, mentioning a bowl of milk tea for ten yuan, Zhou Yi once carefully calculated, a penny is almost equivalent to the purchasing power of a dollar in later generations, and a bowl of milk tea costs twenty yuan.
But despite this, everyone's performance was only a little heartache, and they did not show resistance, because the Song Dynasty was the richest era for peasants in the entire feudal society, and there was no one.
Ming scholar Lang Ying sighed in the "Seven Revision Manuscripts": "If you read "Menghualu", "Menglianglu", and "Wulin Old Things" today, the prosperity of the Song Dynasty will be far away. ”
Ming Shi Xuan also pointed out in "The Remains of Old Beijing": "The banquet of the Beijing master is still arranged by Suzhou chefs, and the rest are Shaoxing chefs, and they fail." However, in the Song Dynasty, there was a cook to make yokan, and the fee was incomparable. Today's Beijing division is close to Pu, and the cost of cooking is one or two ears. ”
The folk of the Song Dynasty were so rich and extravagant. The Song Dynasty was so different in ancient China, it was an era when wealth was hidden and people-oriented.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yi dared to ask for a price and repay the money on the ground, because the people of the Song Dynasty were not bad at all.
Zhou Yi still flashed the idea of raising the price in his mind, but he was immediately vetoed by himself, the price increase will not work, there are other ways, since everyone has money, then we can make money, and we don't have to be soft-hearted.
After eating, I fell asleep with a beautiful vision. The next day, when it was still the fourth watch, Zhou Yi had already come to the lobby dressed neatly.
All of yesterday's income has been exchanged for raw materials such as sugar today, as well as some decorations or something, and the lobby has also recovered some of the atmosphere, and it is no longer as monotonous as before.
An old farmer carrying a burden came from the dark street, dressed in a lichen coat, facing the wet and cold morning mist, step by step.
Today's Daguan Teahouse is different from usual, several candles illuminate the entire hall, and the candlelight is projected along the open door, and the surrounding darkness seems to be dispelled a lot.
There was still a distance of more than ten zhang from the gate, and Zhou Yi had already greeted him, and said to the old farmer enthusiastically: "Uncle, it's hard to come from afar, put down the burden and rest, I'll pick it in." ”
When the old farmer looked up, he saw that it was his big customer, and he was suddenly a little frightened, and his head shook like a rattle.
"I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it."
Where will Zhou Yi care, take the burden and carry it in, the old farmer was stunned, couldn't help but stand in place, looked at Zhou Yi's back in a daze, and sighed: "Hey, what a good young man." ”
Then he hurriedly trotted after him.
Zhou Yi has not done such heavy work for a long time, and he only went to the ground a few times when he was young in his previous life, and he is a scholar in this life, and he can't carry it on his shoulders.
It's just that the distance of Baishibu, he is already tired and out of breath, so he sets a rule for himself, and gets up every morning for physical exercise, of course, this is all an afterthought, not to mention it for the time being.
Picked the milk to the backyard, and then picked out yesterday's empty bucket, Zhou Yi invited the old farmer to sit down and personally boiled water for him to make tea.
Where did the mud legs get such treatment? Zhou Yi was able to use his milk to increase his income a little bit and he was thankful, he never dreamed that one day these big bosses would personally serve him tea.
Thinking of this, his eyes were already covered with a thick mist.
Really, ordinary people are so easily satisfied, as long as they can enjoy the most basic human rights, and even a little respect, they will be satisfied.
After serving the fragrant tea, Zhou Yi sat opposite the old farmer and said, "Uncle, your milk is very popular with me, yesterday a load of milk was sold out in just half a day, thanks to the fresh milk delivered today." However, I had a hunch that there would not be enough milk for now, so I wondered if I could find a way to get more. ”
"Is that so?" Basically, few people eat these things, and they dislike the taste is too fishy, but they didn't expect these things to be so popular in Zhou Yi's hands, which made the old farmer feel very shocked.
Zhou Yi smiled: "That's natural, can I still trick you?" ”
The old farmer was a little embarrassed and said, "I only have so much milk at home, where can I get any more?" ”
"You can go to other people's cattle to collect them, and you can join your relatives and friends and get all their milk to me, isn't that too much? Or maybe it's like this, you raise cows and milk cows and sell them to me, and I'll pay you. Zhou Yi came up with an idea for him.
He has passed full consideration for cooperating with this old farmer, firstly, this old farmer is more honest, so he can rest assured that such a person will do things, and secondly, this old farmer's house is not far from Qingshen County, so as to ensure the freshness of the milk.
Zhou Yi asked him to specialize in raising cattle and abandon his own piece of land, which made him feel a little hesitant.
He didn't dare to agree to his request directly, but the old farmer just said, "Let me go home and think about it." ”
Zhou Yi naturally didn't embarrass him, and said with a smile: "Okay, the reason why I chose you before is because your milk tastes the best, and if you cooperate with me well, I will definitely not let you suffer." ”
After paying for today's milk, Zhou Yi politely sent him out of the door, and then turned around impatiently and came back and began to prepare the raw materials for making milk tea.
Milk tea must be made when it is fresh to be delicious, and it will not be good if it is left for a long time, so Zhou Yi just processed the milk and was not in a hurry to take it to steam.
The sky was bright, there were more people coming and going on the street, and Daguan Teahouse also ushered in the first batch of guests, and Zhou Yi was busy making milk tea for them.
Through yesterday's word of mouth, everyone knows that there is a new special food in this Daguan teahouse, so now Zhou Min no longer needs to go outside to solicit guests.
However, the rules of eating milk tea have also changed today, not to sit down and take the money out to eat, but to write your name on a red piece of paper on the counter, pay a bowl of money for each bowl, and then put a tick behind your name, the advantage of this is that you are not afraid of who eats and does not give money. Zhou Yi didn't think that the quality of these people could be so high, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the 21st century, let alone the 12th century.
