Qin Yi was patiently grinding the ingredients at her seat when she suddenly heard a loudspeaker introducing its products, saying that Lei Cha (擂茶) was a specialty of Qingcha Ancient Town. Qin Yi was so anxious that she immediately stood up from her stall.

She walked up to the tour guide, holding a fighting stick.

He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey buddy, you can't just say things like that, and you can't just drink tea like that. The Lei Cha I sell isn't a local specialty; it's a tradition passed down from my ancestors."

Fei Hua turned his head and saw a boss carrying a long stick, with a serious expression and a serious attitude.

Realizing he was in the wrong, he quickly said, "I'm sorry, boss. As far as I know, I know nothing. If what I said was even remotely related, it wouldn't be completely unrelated. I'm sorry you had to see this."

Qin Yi frowned as she looked at the young man: "What you said is very good. Don't say it again next time. The last time I was this speechless was the last time."

"Haha, Director Fei, you've finally run into trouble after all that talking nonsense."

Fei Hua nodded helplessly: "I stepped on a nail, but she kicked a cotton ball. Not only am I not angry, I also have to support her business."

He took out his phone to check the time: "That's it for today's tour. Everyone is free to do as they please. I'll go here to queue up for a bowl of Lei Cha. Help yourselves out."

Tourists joked, "As long as you have a good attitude, anywhere can be Bali! Aside from the beginning, middle, and end of his speech not being very good, the young man was pretty good overall!"

Fei Hua, standing at the back of the line, said to his fellow tourists, "Brother, putting aside the content, I agree with your tone. I think what you said makes a lot of sense, but I just don't understand it. It's like me—aside from being a little ugly, I'm still quite good-looking."

The tourists still had some reservations when they saw the talkative tour guide standing in the queue.

They fear this is a new type of tour group shopping tactic where tour guides and merchants collude to trick tourists into buying their goods.

If that's the case.

There would probably be a shill nearby to create an atmosphere and give the impression of high demand and low supply.

"A-Gui! What are you doing here? We've been looking everywhere for you."

A-Gui's older sister had just come home from school and brought her friends to the square to play with her younger brother.

Ah Gui: "Sister, I'm queuing up to buy Lei Cha. I just had a bowl of this Lei Cha, and it was so delicious. I've decided to buy another bowl. Do you want some?"

Sister: "Then bring me a bowl too."

Tourist A: "See, see, I told you there would be shills coming out to say this stuff is great."

Tourist B: "You see things very clearly."

At this moment, A-Gui spoke up again: "Sister, it seems the boss's stock is almost sold out. The people in front said the next batch of Thunder Forks will take twenty minutes. You go and have some fun first, I'll come back to find you later."

Tourist A: "Look, look, it's scarcity marketing, creating the illusion of supply falling short of demand for customers. It's an old trick."

Tourist B: "Really? So the next step is for someone to try and get us to buy products?"

Tourist A's eyes gleamed with intelligence: "Following the usual pattern, they'll lower the price again, telling you the factory owner went bankrupt and all the goods are being sold at a discount."

Tourist B: "But this owner only sells drinks, the most expensive one is only twenty yuan a bowl, how much can we be ripped off?"

Tourist A: "You don't understand, do you? This is called casting a long line to catch a big fish. Have you seen the schedule for the past few days? The last stop every day is Qing Shi Square."

Tourist B: "Perhaps it's more convenient because the square here is spacious and there's a parking lot?"

Tourist A shook his head: "You don't understand. Today they sell drinks, tomorrow they'll sell local specialties. After you've bought from them for a few days and think the owner is honest and the things are cheap and delicious, they'll take you to her shop to buy all sorts of exorbitantly priced jade pendants and teas. The whole process is just to lower your guard!"

Tourist B: "No way... Everyone's praising the food. A boss who can make delicious food can't be too dirty-minded, right?"

Tourist A: "You're too naive. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. You don't need to buy any snacks or drinks these days. On the last day when you're fishing for big fish, all the food you've prepared will be given to you for free. You can eat and drink to your heart's content and avoid buying the overpriced items in her shop. It's a win-win situation, practically perfect."

Tourist B pursed his lips in surprise: "Brother Dong, you really know your stuff! I really admire you! But I still really want to eat it today, what should I do? Look at that kid, slurping it down so happily. It's only ten yuan, let's not worry about it too much."

Tourist A, unwilling to let his perfect plan be ruined, dragged Tourist B towards their accommodation: "Trust Brother Dong this once. We can use the money we've saved these past few days anywhere, just don't spend it here, it's not worth it."

Tourist B was pulled along, looking back every few steps.

I gazed longingly at the long queue of Lei Cha (pounded tea) stalls.

Meanwhile, Qin Yi...

Regardless of whether they are the original inhabitants of the ancient town.

Even tourists who have come from afar have never tried this unique drink.

Just pass by the Lei Cha (擂茶) stall.

They will definitely stop and take a good look.

The delicate-looking owner was seen wielding a stick thicker than her wrist, pounding the food up and down repeatedly.

They would also use a pestle to rapidly rotate and crush the meat in the mortar.

The food ingredients made a pleasant cracking sound as they rubbed against each other in the air.

Just listening to it is very stress-relieving.

Qin Yi also felt that apart from her arms being a little sore, the production process was quite fun.

As the food gradually turns into powder, the aroma of various ingredients slowly wafts out.

Then pour in a pot of boiling water or ice-cold purified water.

As it was stirred, the original aroma of Lei Cha (擂茶) filled the air.

It's the original taste of all kinds of food.

You can identify Lei Cha by its aroma.

This is a culinary tradition passed down from the ancestors of Qin Yi's world.

Even though no one in the world has ever tasted it, classic things have the power to capture people's hearts instantly.

It captivates the taste buds and leaves a lasting impression.

A gentle breeze carries the fresh scent of tea leaves and the multi-layered aroma of nuts and oils.

It seems that the combination of the spirit of the mountains and the wisdom of humankind has created such a unique bowl of Lei Cha.

Hao Yun, the field researcher, originally planned to leave Qing Shi Square.

He spent many days in Qingcha Ancient Town.

He hadn't found a dish that was suitable for the show, and he wanted to find a food that was both delicious and unique.

The competition within the program was fierce, and he consistently had the worst live streaming data among the Rainbow Seven.

Perhaps caught in a vicious cycle, Hao Yun felt that the drive he had in his youth was gone.

He was afraid of failure, afraid that the data would get worse again, so he became very cautious.

When he came over just now, he actually saw the children sitting in a row eating Lei Cha (a type of tea), and that scene was quite nice.

However, he felt that Lei Cha, a popular tea, was new to the market and wanted to get more feedback from the public.

It's best to observe other people's opinions for a few days before making a decision.

When he returned after circling around the area, he was surprised by the long queue in the square.

These customers are queuing up in circles around the square.

The children who bought Lei Cha (擂茶) still sat on the steps, eating it with laughter and joy.

It's the same group of kids as before; looks like they're having their second round of eating.

Why is this Lei Cha (擂茶) so popular?

Hao Yun had never tried it either, and to be honest, he was quite curious.

Some opportunities are hard to come by once they are missed, so he immediately decided to apply to the program team to go live online!

The production team urgently mobilized food critic Grandpa Yu, who was playing electronic chess at home.

Grandpa Yu cursed the guy on the other side for being unsportsmanlike before quitting the game, then logged back into the live stream and immediately became all smiles.

Hao Yun finally succeeded in applying for a live broadcast, and his camera was pointed at a group of children happily drinking Lei Cha (a type of tea).

Grandpa Yu expertly warmed up the crowd by asking, "What exactly is this food that the field researchers are showing us today? Are those children holding bowls of chicken soup or the medicinal soup that Dalang drank? Oh, no, according to the field researchers' on-site report, it's a bowl of tea soup from the mountains..."
