Chapter 262 Bai Wanyi Sells Ice

Zigui waved his hands repeatedly: "How could that be? I just have some feelings."

"Alright, alright, stop teasing her." Qin Wan came to Zigui's rescue, then angrily said to Tao Yao, "You know Zigui's situation, so don't say anything you shouldn't say in the future."

Zigui was originally a lady from a wealthy family. Her ancestors started their business and were quite famous in the local area. Her grandfather was a juren (a scholar) and made the family even more prosperous.

Who would have thought that later due to some minor negligence, the family fell into decline, and the monkeys scatter when the tree falls. The family broke up and she was sold by her tribesmen.

Therefore, Qin Wan brought her with her and brought her into the harem. She had no family outside and could not protect her. If something happened, no one could help her, so it would be better to keep her by her side.

Taoyao also figured this out, and took Zigui's hand to apologize: "I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking."

Zigui shook his head: "I didn't think of this level. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Qin Wan took her hand and said, "It's okay. Let's take our time. We have plenty of time."

Qin Wan has a lot of time, but Bai Wanyi doesn't have much.

According to her idea, the sales of milk tea would increase significantly after using saltpeter to make ice.

But whether it is her head office or those franchise stores, the situation has only improved.

Chu Yun came in carrying a food box and placed it in front of Bai Wanyi: "Madam, this is the milk tea I bought from Yuchuan Tea and Piaoxiangju. Yuchuan Tea's milk tea is expensive, Piaoxiangju's is cheaper, and the appearance is also different."

Bai Wan watched Chu Yun unpack the food box with a dull look on her face. "I've had her milk tea before, and it was just so-so, far inferior to mine. But why?"

Chu Yun raised his eyes to look at her, without saying much, only said: "The Marquis has returned home and said he will come to see the Madam immediately."

When Bai Wanyi heard that Lu Yan was coming, she sneered. He had been circling her yard for several months, and now he came just because she gave him 20,000 yuan. Did he think she was a duck?

"What duck?" Chu Yun asked curiously.

Bai Wanyi finally realized that she hadn't paid attention and had said something like "duck". She raised her hand and said, "It's okay."

"Wanyi, do you want to eat duck?" Lu Yan lifted the curtain and came in at this moment. His eyes moved away from Chu Yun and then looked at Bai Wanyi. He smiled and took her hand and brought her into his arms.

Bai Wanyi pushed him away impatiently: "It's so hot, why are you still hugging me?"

Lu Yan saw the milk tea on the table and smiled, "Aren't there cold drinks here? Honestly, your method of making ice with saltpeter is really good, but it consumes a lot of energy. The price of ice isn't going up right now, so we can't make much money."

Saltpeter can be used to make explosives, but the control is very strict nowadays, so even Bai Wanyi can't get too much to use to make ice.

Speaking of this, Bai Wanyi was filled with resentment: "I don't know who has stockpiled so much ice. It's been extremely hot this year, and the price of ice should have skyrocketed, but now the price hasn't gone up at all!"

Lu Yan picked up a cup of milk tea casually, only to find that the marks on it were Piaoxiangju and Yuchuan Tea.

I have to say that although Piaoxiangju is cheap, the cups still have a certain elegance.

The cups of Yuchuan Tea even have poems written on them, which are much more beautiful than the ones of Bai Wanyi's Shuangxi Tea House, which have messy and nonsensical patterns and a fat white snowman.

He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy milk tea from another store?"

Chu Yun glanced at Bai Wanyi, who was still angry, and said with a smile, "Madam, I want to see what the difference is between our Shuangxi Tea House and Piaoxiang Ju. Why can't we sell as well as theirs?"

Lu Yan smiled gently at her, picked up a cup and put it in her hand: "Since you want to see where the shortcomings are, let's drink together and see what the difference is."

Bai Wanyi didn't notice the interaction between the two people. He asked someone to get new cups and divided all the milk tea into three cups.

Lu Yan also often drinks milk tea from Shuangxi Tea House. When he saw the milk tea cup with the lid opened, he instantly understood the difference between the two.

The milk tea in Bai Wanyi's shop has more water and less milk, and the fruit tea also has very little fruit in it. When you take a sip, it tastes like sugar.

The milk tea from Piaoxiangju and Yuchuan Tea has a rich milky flavor, sweet fruit flavor, and honey flavor.

Qin Wan is really generous. The milk tea at Piaoxiangju used to cost one or two cents per cup. Now with ice, it’s still one cent per cup.

The price of milk tea at Shuangxi Tea House has increased to two cents per cup because ice is added.

Bai Wanyi took a sip of Piaoxiangju's milk tea. It tasted good, but it was too sweet. She frowned and looked at Chu Yun and Lu Yan: "Is it delicious?"

Chu Yun nodded, then shook her head: "Ours is lighter, theirs is too sweet."

"Brother Yan, what do you think?" Bai Wanyi looked at Lu Yan again.

Lu Yan, however, really liked it. He couldn't describe the taste. He met Bai Wanyi's gaze and said against his will, "It's not as good as what you make."

Bai Wanyi was very confused: "You all think it doesn't taste good, so why can't ours sell? No, I need to do a questionnaire survey!"

Bai Wanyi was quick to act. She quickly put together a questionnaire with two questions on a sheet of paper:

Which milk tea do you think tastes better, the one from Piaoxiangju or the one from Shuangxi Tea House?

Why?

There were a total of 500 questionnaires. Bai Wanyi mobilized his men to go to the entrance of Piaoxiangju to fill in the questionnaire.

In less than half a day, Chu Yun gave Bai Wanyi his summary and also found out another thing: "The taste of honey is sweet, and it tastes better than Shuangxi Tea House."

She paused and said, "Besides, the biggest ice seller in the capital right now is the Qin family."

"It's her again! It's her again! Am I that easy to bully?!"
