Chapter 729 The first in the country?

The original pharmacy was well renovated, and due to time constraints no major changes were made, but the outside of the house was painted white. It was not simply painted, but professionally leveled and then painted white, which gave it a somewhat exotic feel.

Of course, people nowadays don’t know that there is a white town in a foreign country. Anyway, it looks indescribably beautiful. I never thought that a house painted white would look so good!

Anyway, people in Beijing have never seen it. If someone paints the walls white, ordinary people will have to take a detour.

The windows were also replaced. They were no longer floor-to-ceiling windows, but full glass windows without window frames. The room suddenly looked much brighter.

There are also floor tiles, chandeliers, simple and beautiful small tables and chairs in the room, a sponge sofa against the wall, and a slightly different counter.

In fact, it is decorated in the style of a milk tea shop, clean and warm.

People passing by would take a curious look, wondering what was going on inside.

I looked up at the plaque, "Yangshengtang", and immediately thought it was a Chinese medicine store, but I didn't see any cabinets like those in a Chinese medicine store, and there was no smell of Chinese medicine.

Instead, all kinds of sweet smells waft out.

Cheng Hui was asking people to put out everything in the house.

There is also a red wooden shed at the door, with a large solid wooden table underneath.

Large transparent glass jars were carried out and placed on the table.

There are also opaque iron cans that look different from anything you’ve ever seen outside.

Jiang Ming and Qi Anguo did not come today as they both had work to do, but they both sent their secretaries over as they were also curious about what Cheng Hui wanted this small house for.

If you want to open a store, wouldn’t it be enough to just squeeze in a stall or a shop on the commercial street? That's where you can make a fortune.

But she seemed to have put everything she had there and bought it.

What on earth is this little shop doing?

It wasn't until the transparent jars were brought out that the secretaries suddenly realized: "They're selling sugar water? All kinds of sugar water?"

"To be precise, it is a health-preserving and nourishing sugar water." Cheng Hui said: "Now there are more than a dozen kinds of sugar water, such as rock sugar snow pear, red dates and white fungus, red dates and wolfberries, yam and white lotus, lily and lotus seeds, etc. In addition to sugar water, there are also several kinds of black tea and green tea. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, you can drink it for health preservation in all seasons."

It's just an alternative milk tea shop.

The people following her all had strange expressions. No matter how hard they tried, they didn't expect that she was going to sell this.

I've never heard of any store that sells this kind of sweet soup? Is this the first one in the country?

However, they do know about big bowl tea, but there are almost no big bowl tea shops now. The few that are still there do not just sell tea, but are more like restaurants.

Only water is sold here? Can it be sold?

"How much is it?" asked Jiang Ming's secretary.

Cheng Hui said: "Different sweet soups have different prices because of different ingredients. The cheapest is 20 cents a cup, and the most expensive is 50 cents a cup."

The secretary was surprised and asked, "So cheap?"

Based on his understanding of Cheng Hui, he thought the starting price would be 1 dollar! It seems that she has never sold anything for less than one dollar. Even a small piece of cake costs one dollar!

Just then, Guo Dajun came out holding a large plastic box filled with stacks of crystal clear glass cups.

"This is a 600 ml cup, which holds 500 ml of drink." Cheng Hui said as she picked up a glass. People with good eyesight could see two small red words "Weifeng" printed on the glass.

This store is affiliated with Weifeng Food Factory.

It can't be her own, and now private shops are not allowed.

However, she separated this store out, formed it into a small department, and paid separate salaries, bonuses and benefits.

She also serves as the general store manager!

Another salary~

Cheng Hui picked up a glass and said, "Anyone who buys sugar water will get one of these glasses for free." Cheng Hui said.

"What?" This time it was the onlookers who exclaimed.

Their display has attracted quite a few passers-by to watch.

Someone immediately asked, "Does the 20-cent cup also come with a glass?"

"Send it." Cheng Hui said.

Everyone was buzzing because a glass this big would cost at least 30 to 50 cents if sold at the supply and marketing cooperative! The supply and marketing cooperative also sells glass cups for 20 cents, but they are only half the size of this one!

"I buy 10 cups and get 10 cups for free?" someone asked.

"Yes." Cheng Hui said.

The man immediately said, "Then give me 10 cups for 20 cents!"

Cheng Hui kindly advised: "You can't drink 10 cups, and it's inconvenient to take them away. You won't pour out the sugar water just to get the cups, right?"

When the man realized what was happening, he felt a little sad. The syrup looked good and smelled sweet, and he was reluctant to throw it away.

Cheng Hui smiled and said, "We are going to open our store here for 100 years. This is not an event. It will be there today but not tomorrow. Although we will increase the price according to the market, that may be in one or two years. So we can't run away. You can just buy one cup at a time."

When everyone heard it, they suddenly realized what was going on and were extremely happy.

Immediately a long line formed in front of the shed.

When it comes to queuing, people are now very experienced and have to queue up to buy almost anything.

"You can also buy it inside the house." Cheng Hui said.

In an instant, a group of people rushed into the house and lined up.

Some people bought brown sugar ginger water for 20 cents a cup, some bought more expensive white fungus and lotus seeds, and there were also a few acquaintances who bought different ones each and tasted each other's flavors.

Unanimous praise!

Guo Dajun came out with a tray, smiling, and distributed food to the secretaries and factory managers beside Cheng Hui.

The store was opened in front of the pharmaceutical factory, and the leaders of the pharmaceutical factory all came. They all wanted to see what tricks she was playing. It had been kept secret before, and they only found out at this time.

I was so shocked that my eyes widened. This was the first time I heard that sugar water could be sold!

Now everyone holds a cup, which is warm but not hot enough to burn them.

Some people drank it in big gulps, some took small sips, and then everyone's eyes lit up.

“It’s delicious.”

Everyone praised Cheng Hui.

But in my heart I feel that she is a little bit... hard to describe.

Just take this brown sugar ginger water which costs 20 cents a cup, how much money can she make? Such a big glass must cost a lot, right? And the white fungus and lotus seeds that cost 50 cents a cup, the ingredients are really expensive.

Because the cultivation technology of Tremella fuciformis is backward, the output of lotus seeds is also very small.

Different industries have different worlds. In fact, this glass cup only costs a few cents, but they don’t understand.

As for the materials, a little bit of them is enough to make a big pot, and the profit of more than ten times is low.

She didn't explain this business secret.

Cheng Hui said: "Actually, I just want ordinary people to have a place to drink hot water when they go out."

She smiled and said, "When I was a kid, what I wanted most when I went out in the winter was a cup of hot water, but unfortunately there was no place to drink it."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was really the case!

There are almost no thermos cups nowadays. When you go out, there is no place to drink hot water, let alone cold water.

No, there are public water taps on the roadside, usually in alleys, residential areas, etc. You can hold the water in your hands or drink from the faucet.

Otherwise, you can only shamelessly go to the residents' homes to ask for some hot water to drink.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly thought that this store was really great! Director Cheng is so thoughtful!

Cheng Hui added: "If you don't want a glass, bring your own cup and you'll get 1 cent off for each cup."

Everyone nodded, becoming even more considerate.

Cheng Hui added: "We also provide hot water, 1 cent a cup, but you don't need to bring a cup. If you bring a cup, it's still 20 cents a cup."

"What?" everyone exclaimed.

"One cent?"

"Is it really just a penny?"

“This is too good to be true!”

A cup of hot water costs one cent, but the cost of burning coal at home may be more than one cent!

Someone suddenly called out, "Can I get a thermos?"
