Chapter 219: Out of control
Beno put the ice bucket under the table where the milk tea and desserts were placed to prevent the ice from coming into direct contact with the sun, and then went into the kitchen, brought two basins of ice and put them under the eaves of the courtyard, and another basin of ice at the gate.
Some of the guests in the courtyard were stunned by the appearance of the ice, and some were ecstatic.
"Don't boss, do you still sell ice at home?"
"At what price?"
"How do you put ice outside? What if it melts? ”
Beno explained, "Our family doesn't specialize in selling ice, the ice that is placed outside is dirty and inedible, and the ice cubes are sold with milk tea, and the milk tea with ice costs two pennies."
A sweaty man fanned himself with the palm of his hand and asked expectantly, "How much ice can you add for two pennies?"
He wants to see if it's worth it.
As soon as the man's words fell, the man next to him teased.
"Ice cubes are so expensive, how much more do you want to add for two cents? If this goes elsewhere, I'm afraid I can only buy a small piece for two pennies, and it won't take long to melt in my mouth. ”
After speaking, he immediately turned his head and said to Beiye, "Boss, bring me a bowl of black tea milk tea, if you want to add ice, can you add me more ice?" ”
"I'll pay the price for two ice cubes."
I was reluctant to buy milk tea just now, but now when I hear that I can add ice, I don't hesitate anymore, on such a hot day, it's worth spending more than a dozen dollars and some ice.
Beno said, "I'll give you more ice, so you don't have to pay for two." ”
The man was pleasantly surprised, as if he had stood at a great bargain.
"Thank you very much!"
"If the milk tea is delicious, I'll bring your friends over to take care of your business!"
Beno smiled.
"Okay."
Gu Rao first took out a bowl, then opened the lid on the wooden bucket containing the ice cubes, shoveled a large spoonful of ice with a shovel, spread the entire bowl over, and then scooped a large spoonful of milk tea into the bowl.
A bowl of chilled black tea milk tea is ready.
When the people around saw a bowl full of ice, their eyes straightened, and the passers-by stopped unconsciously.
"Boss, what is this drinking?"
"How did you sell it?"
Beno brought the bowl of milk tea in and gave it to the guest who had just ordered milk tea.
Gu Rao introduced to people who are interested in milk tea, "This is a new drink in our store - milk tea, there are only three flavors at present, namely black tea milk tea, green tea milk tea and oolong milk tea, and there may be new products in the future." The price of milk tea is 10 cents per bowl, and an additional 2 cents is added with ice cubes. ”
Passers-by hesitated.
"You just scooped up such a big bowl of ice, did you only need to add two pennies?"
"Yes."
"Then give me a bowl, no, let's have three bowls, my mother is bitter in summer, just buy a bowl of ice and go back to relieve her heat, and my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and her appetite is not very good in summer......"
"Bring me a bowl of black tea and milk tea, on the rocks."
……
All of a sudden, the milk tea stall was crowded with people.
Gu Rao didn't expect the business to be so good, but she still didn't hurry to serve milk tea to the guests, there were only two of them, it was useless to be anxious, it was better to take it slowly, it was not easy to make mistakes.
When it was the turn of the guests who wanted to take out, they had to politely refuse.
"This guest, the milk tea is used in the bowl at home, can not be taken out, if you really want to take out, there are two ways, one is to go home and get the bowl yourself, and the other is to pay a deposit of two cents, and wait to return our bowl, the deposit will be returned to you."
The guests were a little dissatisfied.
"Why don't you think about it when you do business? The stall is so small, and the yard is small, how can it squeeze so many customers? ”
"The seats inside are gone, are we all standing with bowls and drinking? You can't drink more than a dozen things, right? I want to sit and drink slowly! ”
"Is it difficult that there are too many adults, and you won't do business?"
"Why can't I take it out, it's so inconvenient, and I don't want to stand outside and drink."
Gu Rao said apologetically, "Today we didn't think about it, and after the stall closes tonight, we will make the milk tea cup, and then you can take it away directly when you come to buy milk tea." ”
"There's ice in the yard, it's cooler, you go in and stand, and when some of the guests leave, can you find a place to sit down?"
Although the crowd was slightly dissatisfied, they still couldn't resist the temptation of coolness.
Gu Rao's hand pretending to be milk tea never stopped.
A bucket of ice runs out quickly.
Beno brought a second bucket.
-
Today's business is so good, especially at noon, the yard is almost overcrowded, some are specially made to eat casserole rice noodles, by the way also bought milk tea and desserts, some are bought a bowl of milk tea, and then drink slowly, a bowl of milk tea can be drunk for an hour, after drinking it is still greedy and reluctant to leave.
Gu Rao and Beiye couldn't pull away, they didn't have time to cook lunch by themselves, it was worth buying a few steamed buns, and after eating the steamed buns to pad their stomachs, they continued to be so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.
This was busy until the six barrels of milk tea were sold out.
At this time, the sun had just tilted, and it was not as spicy as noon and unseasoned, but there were still people who wanted to buy iced milk tea.
"Boss, can you make some more milk tea?"
He bought a bowl in the morning, took a nap at home, and after getting up, he wanted to drink milk tea again, and promised his wife to bring a bowl back for his wife, and brought two large bowls for this purpose.
Gu Rao also saw the bowl in his hand and knew that he had come to buy milk tea.
"The milk tea has been sold out, but there are still some ice cubes."
"Originally, the ice cubes were only paired with milk tea, and they were only two pennies a piece, and the ice cubes not only did not make money, but also lost money, but for the sake of the one you came to buy, I would like to give you two pennies a piece, do you want it?"
The man was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes!"
"Come two, no, come five, I only brought two bowls, give the money for five first, you keep the remaining three ice cubes for me, I'll go back and get the bowls!"
Gu Rao, "...... Good. ”
The other guests were also thrilled to see that he could buy ice cubes.
"Boss Gu, they are all your old customers, don't favor one over the other, I also want to buy some ice cubes!"
Gu Rao, "......"
Sure enough, once something starts, it gets out of hand.
It's too late to regret it now.
If other people sell ice like this, of course they will lose money, and they will die at a loss, and it is estimated that they will have cried and fainted in the toilet a long time ago, but the ice made by Gu Rao has almost zero cost.
"Ice is expensive, you should know it......"
Of course the guests know, but everyone else is a big bowl of ice for two pennies, and everyone else can take advantage of it, so why can't they?
"But you just gave that person two pennies a piece."
Gu Rao looked helpless.
"Well, it's only today for one day, ice cubes sell for two cents for a big bowl, and from tomorrow, if you want to buy ice alone, it's all five cents a bowl."
When everyone heard this, they felt that they had taken advantage of it.
"Bring me ten bowls!"
"I want five bowls!"
I'm afraid that if it's a little later, the ice will be snatched up.
In fact, those who decided quickly, with the foresight, sold out in less than a quarter of an hour.
People who didn't buy ice cubes were stunned, only today is two cents a bowl, after today, but it's all five cents a bowl, such a big bargain didn't take advantage of it!
