Chapter 67: Missing 100 Million
Yesterday, Mo Qingyan spent 500,000 to rent their coffee shop for a week, which shocked the original employees of the coffee shop.
In addition, there were so many cameras following Mo Qingyan and others.
They speculated whether the new boss and others might be big stars or something like that.
After all, this new boss is so handsome.
His friends are all handsome men and beautiful women.
They guessed that the new owner rented their coffee shop for recording a show or something.
After checking, I found that they were indeed live recording a variety show, but their new boss was not a big star.
But it is the national prodigal son who has been very popular recently, Mo Qingyan.
Mo Qingyan has frequently dominated the hot searches and trending terms in recent times.
There are many good-looking people here.
There are a lot of them in the entertainment industry.
There are also many rich people.
There are many people who can cook delicious food.
The only person who is good-looking, rich, can cook delicious food, and give benefits to the audience and fans is Mo Qingyan.
When others show off their wealth, they always get attacked and criticized by a lot of people.
However, Mo Qingyan's flaunting of wealth always makes countless people look forward to it.
Because that wasn't showing off his wealth at all, he was just wasting money.
No matter how much he paid for something, he would make it into delicious food that would make people linger, and then sell it to his audience and fans at the same price as giving it away for free.
Therefore, being able to eat the food he cooks is like making a big profit.
The coffee shop staff found out Mo Qingyan's identity overnight, and they were already prepared that many people would come today.
After all, when Mo Qingyan set up a stall in City B before, it was too exaggerated to say that there were huge crowds of people.
But every time the stall is opened, there will always be a grand occasion of at least hundreds or thousands of people.
But this time Mo Qingyan moved to their city H.
Moreover, since they came out so early in the morning, I don’t think there would be too many people.
After all, even if it is a food festival, it will not officially open until after 10:30.
Unexpectedly, it was only nine o'clock and there was almost no room left in the store.
The situation is completely polarized compared to those restaurants outside.
When Mo Qingyan was making tea, the aroma of tea filled the air, and that fragrance had already attracted people who were buying tea in the store to look over.
Even though the tea had already been put into the quick-cooling freezer when the shop assistants arrived.
But the coffee shop is still filled with the rich aroma of tea.
After the shop assistants studied Mo Qingyan's identity overnight and watched Mo Qingyan's live broadcast, they knew that the kumquat lemon tea he was going to make today was made with Biluo tea leaves.
I thought to myself, no matter what, I have to have a drink.
It would be a real loss if you don’t drink a cup of tea worth 20 million.
Soon, it was ten o'clock.
All the stalls in the food court outside have been set up.
Moreover, more and more people began to appear on the streets.
However, more and more people came to buy Mo Qingyan's kumquat lemon tea.
The store is already full.
Therefore, there were already many people queuing outside the store.
Chinese people love to join in the fun.
The opening ceremony of the food festival hadn't started yet, but there were already so many people standing in front of the coffee shop. Many people thought that the coffee shop was holding some kind of event.
Seeing others coming to line up, many people followed suit.
This also led to more and more people outside the coffee shop.
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, Mo Qingyan immediately opened the quick-cooling freezer.
The tea that was originally boiling hot has now turned cold.
In a normal freezer, if the water is boiling hot, you cannot put it directly into it for quick cooling.
However, these large freezers in coffee shops can.
Moreover, the cooling speed is very fast.
Mo Qingyan chose this coffee shop not only because of its large area, but also because she knew that these coffee shops generally have several quick-cooling freezers.
Because in the summer, many people drink iced coffee.
Of course, the iced coffee made here requires a quick-cooling freezer.
After the tea is ready, you can start brewing kumquat lemon tea.
Mo Qingyan and others each took up a position and began to divide the work and cooperate.
Song Beichen cuts kumquats and Taozui cuts lemons.
Mo Qingyan was responsible for adding honey, Yin Yiyi was responsible for adding ice cubes, and Qi Na was responsible for adding tea base.
Finally, the task of packing and delivery falls to the coffee shop staff.
The cups used to hold lemons are all custom-made coffee cups from the coffee shop.
If you want to pack, there are also customized paper bags.
Qian Mo Qingyan paid enough. When renting this coffee shop, it also included the right to use the coffee shop's various equipment, cups and other things.
Xu Yi is the first one.
When Mo Qingyan took out the tea, he couldn't wait to stand in front of the cashier counter.
The others immediately took their numbers and began to line up consciously.
There is strength in numbers.
Xu Yi quickly got his first cup of kumquat lemon tea.
He didn't ask the clerk to pack it up. After getting the kumquat lemon tea, he inserted a straw, then stood aside and took a big sip impatiently.
Afterwards, Xu Yi couldn't help but blurt out one word, "Awesome."
Yes, it feels great.
After taking a bite, I instantly felt refreshed!
The refreshing, cool, sweet and sour taste is very much like the taste of first love.
Even though Xu Yi arrived early in the morning.
But H City is a coastal city, so it is cool except in the evening and morning when the sun has not yet come out.
Once the sun came out, I immediately felt the heat starting to spread throughout my body.
Mo Qingyan hadn't come yet, and when Xu Yi was queuing outside the coffee shop, he felt as if he had entered a fireball.
The whole person couldn't help but become irritated.
If it wasn't for the chance to drink the kumquat lemon tea made by Brother Mo, he wouldn't have come here to suffer.
After taking a sip of kumquat lemon tea, Xu Yi instantly felt that it was totally worth it to take an overnight flight and brave the heat to queue up.
The freshness of kumquat, the coolness of lemon, the rich aroma of tea, and the sweetness of honey.
It tastes sweet and sour, cools you down and after one bite, you’ll feel as if your whole body is clear-headed.
The heat in my body was dispelled all at once.
Xu Yi actually doesn’t like drinking sour things.
However, this cup of kumquat lemon tea completely broke his prejudice against the sour taste.
One sip of it is refreshing and thirst-quenching, and there is also a lingering sweetness.
That is the aftertaste of the Biluo tea.
This cup of kumquat lemon is simply a magic weapon to relieve summer heat.
This completely shattered Xu Yi's understanding of "tea".
In addition to traditional tea, there is also milk tea made with milk and tea.
This milk tea has been popular since it first came out.
It has become a standard fashionable drink for young people.
However, Xu Yi didn't think it tasted that good.
Because milk tea tastes too sweet, the reason why it is so sweet is to cover up the astringency of the tea leaves.
When I drink it in winter, it's warm and acceptable.
However, drinking it in summer is too greasy.
Mo Qingyan's kumquat lemon tea is different.
This kumquat lemon tea is made for summer.
Others soon got their kumquat lemon tea.
"Oh my god, what kind of magical tea is this? How can it be so delicious?"
"It's great. It's really great."
"This is kumquat and lemon, I thought it would be very astringent, but unexpectedly, it's not astringent at all."
"That's because the aroma of tea completely overwhelms the sourness of kumquat and lemon. The aftertaste is not astringent, but sweet."
"Were you really just kidding about the 20 million worth of tea? That's tribute tea!"
"This kumquat lemon tea is simply YYDS."
"It's worth it. I took time off work to fly here just for this cup of kumquat lemon tea. It's totally worth it."
"I've decided. I'm going to finish all the kumquat lemon tea for this week before I go back."
…
As soon as this kumquat lemon tea came out, it instantly conquered everyone.
There is strength in numbers, so the tea can be produced very quickly.
Soon, everyone in the store had a cup of kumquat lemon tea in their hands.
Those who bought kumquat lemon tea consciously left the coffee shop to make way for those queuing outside.
Among the people queuing outside, some are Mo Qingyan’s old fans.
They all came from various places.
Another reason was that I saw so many people queuing up and thought there was some event going on at the coffee shop.
So I came along to join in the fun.
So, those who came to join in the fun, lined up, and then entered the store, but they couldn't smell any coffee at all.
Instead, I smelled the fragrance of tea.
I just find it very strange.
What’s even more strange is that no one said what they wanted to order. After paying, the clerk just handed over the “coffee”.
Are you only selling one kind of coffee today?
The first person to join the queue was a young man in his twenties.
The young people originally wanted to come here to find food today, but because the food festival has not yet opened, the food stalls outside have not opened for sale yet.
When I saw a lot of people queuing in front of the coffee shop, I joined in the queue.
After the young man scanned the payment code, he asked the clerk: "How much?"
The clerk looked at him in surprise, because no one had asked about the price from then until now.
Everyone knows that everything Mo Qingyan sells is priced at 100 yuan.
As soon as this person asked about the price, the clerk knew that this person was not a fan of Mo Qingyan.
"100 yuan."
"good."
The young man who was about to pay suddenly froze, and his hand, which was about to enter the price, also froze.
He raised his head suddenly and looked at the clerk: "How much did you say?"
The clerk replied: "100 yuan."
"What? 100 yuan? The most expensive coffee in your store was only 99 yuan before. How come it's more expensive during today's promotion?"
The young man had been here to drink coffee before, so he knew the price of coffee here.
Although this coffee shop is located in a prime location, the coffee it sells is not expensive.
Small profits but quick turnover.
So, the coffee shop business is still good.
As a working class person with an ordinary salary of a few thousand yuan, you can't drink coffee that costs dozens of yuan every day.
I can only order a cup occasionally.
But he always ordered the cheapest coffee, which cost 100 Chinese yuan per cup. He couldn't even think about it.
The clerk explained: "I'm sorry, we're not having an event today, and we're not selling coffee. Today we're selling kumquat lemon tea, and each person can only buy one cup."
The young man said angrily, "You can't sell any tea for 100 yuan a cup? And it's limited? Did you put gold in this tea?"
Just as the clerk was about to explain, Xu Yi rushed over.
"You don't want it, right? If not, sell it to me. I'll give you 300 yuan."
"300 yuan? Are you trying to cheat me?" The young man looked at Xu Yi with suspicion.
He doesn't have to do anything, just buy a cup of tea and make 200 yuan by resell it. Is there such a good thing?
"Of course not. I can transfer money to you right now. Just show me your payment code." Xu Yi couldn't wait to open the code scanning, fearing that he would go back on his word.
Young people always feel that it is still a little weird, so they are a little hesitant.
As a result, a group of people surrounded him.
"Sell it to me, I'll give you 400 yuan."
"I'll give you 500 yuan."
"Sell it to me, sell it to me, I'll give you 700 yuan."
"I'll give you 1,000 yuan."
…
In just a short while, the bid went up to thousands.
This frightened the young man so much that he was stunned.
No, it’s just a cup of tea, is it necessary to be like this?
1,000 yuan?
His salary this month is only 6,000 yuan.
A cup of tea is equivalent to one-sixth of his salary.
Are these people crazy?
Or is this a new type of scam?
Seeing that the auction was about to begin, Mo Qingyan walked over, patted the table, and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you guys, can you auction it without me? I'm selling it for 100, and you guys bid up to 1,000. Are you still going to sell my kumquat lemon tea?"
Mo Qingyan didn't care about the 1,000 yuan, but if these people did this, his auction would become a noisy one.
How can he do business then?
How can he let more people know that he is a spendthrift?
"Okay, let's go out and talk, so as not to interfere with Brother Mo's business."
"Yes, yes, yes. Otherwise, if Brother Mo sees that others have bought his tea and resold it to make money, he might regret selling the tea to us."
"Brother, let me pay for your cup of tea. I'll give you the remaining 900 yuan when I get out."
Xu Yi moved quickly and helped the young man pay. He took the kumquat lemon tea handed to him by the clerk and then pulled the young man out of the coffee shop.
It’s too late for others to fight for it.
"Xu Yi, you are cheating."
"This is too quick. I was the first one to call for 1,000 yuan."
"Damn it, I almost bought a second cup of kumquat lemon tea."
There were also a few people queuing behind the young man who just came to join in the fun.
When they saw so many people scrambling and paying high prices to buy the young man's cup of tea, they immediately became interested.
"I don't drink my cup of tea either. If anyone wants it, I can sell it to you."
"I can sell mine to you, too."
"I want it, I want it, 1,000 yuan, I can transfer it immediately."
"I want one too. Sell it to me and I'll pay 1,000 yuan."
Then, several people sold their kumquat lemon tea at a high price of 1,000 yuan.
Looking at the transfer of 1,000 yuan, those people were very happy.
Unexpectedly, I met a bunch of idiots today.
I'm willing to spend so much money on a cup of tea.
I spent 1,000 yuan to buy a cup of tea. Could it be that there was gold in that cup of tea?
They all thought those people were stupid.
On the contrary, they don’t know that those who bought kumquat lemon tea think they are stupid.
Although Mo Ge’s kumquat lemon tea does not contain gold, it does contain Biluo tea leaves which are more expensive than gold.
This gold is only about 500 yuan per gram. Even if it is 500 grams of gold, it is only 250,000 yuan.
But Brother Mo spent 20 million to buy this kumquat lemon tea.
I don’t know how many times more expensive it is than gold.
Buying a cup for 1,000 yuan is almost like free.
Besides, would someone who travels thousands of miles to queue here early in the morning be short of that 1,000 yuan?
The young man who was pulled out by Xu Yi was stunned when he saw Xu Yi readily transfer 900 yuan to him.
I stood there feeling a little silly, and thought this matter was somewhat mysterious and unbelievable.
He waited in line for an hour.
Just earned 900 yuan?
And it’s at zero cost?
This doesn't seem real no matter how you think about it?
But it is true that there is an extra 900 yuan in his balance.
But why?
Why are those people willing to spend so much money on a cup of tea?
Besides, isn’t that a coffee shop? Why should we sell tea?
He even came to buy a cup of coffee yesterday morning!
I haven’t heard that this coffee shop is going to be transferred!
And what did those people say just now, Brother Mo? Why do these two words Brother Mo sound familiar?
It seems I have heard of it somewhere.
Wait, Mo Ge, limited edition?
Suddenly, the young man remembered something.
He quickly turned on his phone and searched the Internet for the words "Mo Ge".
Suddenly, a live broadcast room popped up.
In the live broadcast room, I saw a busy figure being filmed.
That figure was the handsome young man who had just spoken.
That's the one those people call Brother Mo.
It’s him, Brother Mo, Mo Qingyan, the national prodigal son.
It is said that the food he cooks is very delicious, so delicious that it makes you cry.
Oh my god, that person just now was Mo Qingyan.
No wonder those people would pay a high price for his cup of tea.
It turned out that person was Mo Qingyan.
Oh my god, oh my god, he just bought the kumquat lemon tea made by Mo Qingyan herself, he bought it.
And he actually sold it.
When the young people saw those people in the live broadcast room say that the cup of tea was made by Biluo using tribute tea worth 20 million. Young people want to die.
He actually sold that cup of kumquat lemon tea for only 1,000 yuan, even though that cup of tea was made from 20 million tea leaves! He actually sold it for just 1,000 yuan.
Suddenly I felt like I had missed out on 100 million.
What would tea made from 20 million worth of tea taste like?
Just think about how crazy those people were and you’ll know that the taste must be very good.
He regretted that he should not have sold that cup of tea. He should have tasted such expensive tea himself.
It’s only 1,000 yuan, who can’t afford it?
He has plenty of money, he can afford to drink.
The young man who thought 100 yuan was expensive just now now felt that the tea sold for 1,000 yuan was too cheap.
If he had known that cup of tea was so valuable, he should have tasted it himself.
At least, I am satisfied that I have tasted such expensive tea in my life.
No, he has to go back in line again.
Maybe I can buy another cup.
Anyway, with so many people around, the clerk might not be able to recognize him.
However, when the young man looked towards the queue at the entrance of the coffee shop.
He was instantly frightened by the line that stretched more than a hundred meters away.
How come there are suddenly so many people in just a short while?
The coffee shop chosen by Mo Qingyan is in a relatively prime location.
People who came to the food festival were shocked to see such a long line outside the coffee shop.
"What does that store sell? Why are there so many people lining up?"
“That shop seems to sell coffee.”
"Selling coffee? What kind of coffee is so delicious that so many people are lining up. It feels like there are more people over there than at the food festival stage."
"Maybe there's some big event going on? Let's go take a look."
"Ah? Didn't you say you wanted to go watch the opening ceremony?"
"Oh, what's so interesting about the opening ceremony? What if there is some exciting event in that coffee shop? If we don't go, wouldn't we be at a loss?"
"That's right, let's go and take a look."
Then, many people assumed that the coffee shop was holding some large-scale event, so they all lined up.
Mo Qingyan prepared several large barrels of tea base, a box of kumquats, a box of lemons, and two boxes of honey.
Unexpectedly, they were all sold out in less than two hours.
Mo Qingyan finished making the last cup of kumquat lemon tea, turned around and said to those who were queuing, "Sorry, we're out of kumquat lemon tea. Don't queue any more."
When those in the queue heard that they were out of stock, they immediately started wailing.
"Ah? That's it?"
"No, Brother Mo, I'm still waiting for your kumquat lemon tea to keep me alive!"
"Yeah, yeah, I finally caught up this time, but I didn't buy it."
"It's almost my turn, but there's nothing left? Why am I so unlucky? Brother Mo, are you sure you can't squeeze out another cup? No, half a cup, half a cup will do!"
Mo Qingyan said helplessly: "It's gone, it's really gone. Not to mention half a cup, I can't even squeeze out a drop."
Mo Qingyan even picked up an empty tea bucket and showed it to them.
"Then Brother Mo, can you make some more? We are not in a hurry. We can wait."
"Yes, yes, we can wait."
"Brother Mo, please, I flew here overnight just to drink your kumquat lemon tea. I only took one day off, and I have to fly back to work tonight."
"I also took the high-speed train here last night and arrived in H City early this morning. After getting off the high-speed train, I immediately took a taxi here."
"Brother Mo, I finally got some time off to come here today."
…
Mo Qingyan was very moved when she heard those fans came from far away to support her, taking both planes and high-speed trains.
Decided to make an exception.
"Okay, but only this once! It's noon now, you guys take a number and go eat. Come back at four o'clock."
It's exactly twelve o'clock noon now, and it will take an hour to make tea.
It takes two hours to cool down and refrigerate.
They also need to take a one-hour break to eat at noon.
Therefore, the earliest it can go on sale is at 4pm.
Of course, the kumquats, lemons and honey are all gone. Need to restock too.
Mo Qingyan gave numbers to the people queuing behind.
But only 500 numbers were issued.
Because he just calculated that one portion of tea can make about 500 portions of kumquat lemon tea.
