Chapter 403 Coffee

Even though New Year's Eve is just a few days away, the commercial district is still bustling with activity.

With the delivery of Phase II and Phase III of Fushouyuan, more and more vendors want to settle here.

But the shop space is limited after all, so quite a number of people set up stalls in the middle of the two streets and started selling things.

Most of these people moved to Kyoto from outside, and were initially too embarrassed to set up stalls, but once the first one happened, there would be a second one.

The open space in the middle of the commercial street has gradually been filled with a variety of small vendors, adding a lot of color to the commercial street.

There were pedestrians coming and going on both streets. Although most of them were men, what made Yinreng happy was that in some clothing stores, jewelry stores and milk tea shops, there were also well-dressed women choosing goods.

Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to enter the commercial street.

After the carriage stopped, Yinreng took Honghui outside.

He found that the space in the parking lot did not seem to be enough. As he walked, he wondered whether he should suggest to Yinzhen to build a double or triple-story parking lot using reinforced concrete.

If that doesn’t work, you can develop one floor underground.

Honghui held Yinreng's broad hand and looked at the scenery around him with curiosity in his eyes.

After leaving the parking lot, Yinreng saw that the commercial street was crowded with people. He was afraid that the crowd would squeeze Honghui, so he reached out and picked Honghui up.

Dachun led two guards in front to clear the way, and there were also several guards around to protect Yinreng and Honghui firmly in the middle.

Although most of the passers-by had never seen Yinreng, when they saw the posture of Dachun and others, they knew that Yinreng was not someone to be trifled with, so they all made way for them.

As they walked, Yinreng introduced the stalls nearby to Honghui. Whenever he saw any interesting or novel toys, he would ask Dachun to pay for them.

So half an hour later, Honghui was held in Dachun's arms, and the hat on his head was replaced with a deer-head hat with horns, and his little hands were holding windmills, pottery figurines and other small toys.

Honghui's little face was full of excitement.

In his limited memory, he had never been as happy as today.

Yinreng didn't dare give Honghui any food from outside, fearing that his spleen and stomach would be too weak to bear it.

Just when Yinreng thought he had finished his tour, he ran into Yinzhen who was hurrying over.

As soon as they entered the commercial street, the person guarding the door recognized Yinreng and quickly ran to inform Yin'er.

In fact, Yinzhen had no intention of coming over for inspection today, after all, he had some things to deal with at home. But after hearing that Yinreng had brought a child to the commercial street, he rushed over without stopping.

When they arrived at the place, they found out that the child Yinreng was carrying was Honghui.

It happened that Yinreng was also tired from shopping, so he asked Yin'er to lead the way and they found a sweet milk tea shop and went in.

As soon as he entered the door, Yinreng smelled a very familiar fragrance in the store.

Yinreng almost immediately remembered the opium he had taken some time ago, and then he was amused by his own sensitivity.

How could Yinzhen sell opium?

There aren't many people sitting inside Youdiantian, but that doesn't mean the business is bad.

On the contrary, this milk tea shop is one of Yinzhen's most profitable businesses.

Although there are occasional women coming to this commercial street to shop, the vast majority of customers are adult men.

Most adult men don’t like sweet food, and the few people sitting in the milk tea shop are underage children.

The real target customers of the milk tea shop are the ladies and young ladies from Fushouyuan and even the inner and outer cities, as well as underage young men.

Since they can't go out, the milk tea shop will deliver "takeout". The number of daily delivery orders of the milk tea shop is extremely optimistic, especially in the summer. The business of the milk tea shop is so booming that the surrounding shops are jealous.

It’s not that no one has thought about replicating milk tea, but the results are always far from sweet, and some are even black and bitter.

After that, no one was willing to waste materials.

All ordered in a bit sweet.

Anyway, the price of a cup of milk tea is only fifty cents. Not to mention the rich ladies and masters, even ordinary people in the suburbs can bite the bullet and buy a cup for their children to try.

After they sat down in the private room, Yinreng first ordered a bowl of double-skin milk for Honghui, and then asked what the store's signature dish was.

The servant in the store gave Yinreng an answer that surprised him greatly -

"coffee."

How can there be coffee in a milk tea shop?

Yinreng finally remembered what that familiar smell was.

Isn't it the aroma of coffee?

After figuring it out, he started a new round of brainstorming.

When he thought another fellow villager had traveled through time, Yinzhen gave him the answer.

It turned out that in the fall of this year, a Dutch businessman found the milk tea shop and said that he had a business that he wanted to cooperate with the milk tea shop.

The store manager couldn't make up his mind, so he went to find Yinzhen.

Yinzhen tried it once and found that although the coffee had a unique aroma, the sourness of the coffee was hard for him to accept after taking a sip, so he decided to give up cooperation with the Dutch merchants.

But there was a clerk in the store who was very sensitive to taste. He thought the bitterness of coffee could be neutralized with honey, so he added some honey to the coffee.

After it was made, the taste was indeed better than at the beginning, but it still did not meet Yinzhen's psychological expectations.

Until the clerk added more milk.

The coffee mixed with milk and honey not only won the favor of Yinzhen, but also amazed the Dutch merchant. He even paid to hire the clerk to go to his country to help him make coffee with milk and honey and sell it to the nobles.
