Chapter 44 Milk Tea
The next morning, Shen Qingyue received two large buckets of milk.
Shen Qingyue started cooking early in the morning. She first fried the tea leaves into sugar until the caramel changed color, and then immediately added a large amount of milk.
Soon the milky white milk turned into milk tea color, with a strong milky aroma.
Shen Qingyue took a sip and found it very tasty, sweet and smooth with a hint of the refreshing tea leaves.
The milk is of good quality and has a mellow flavor, with a hint of sweetness that is the finishing touch.
Shen Qingyue's pot was small, and it took eight pots to boil two hundred kilograms of milk.
Finally, filter out the tea leaves. The milk tea is ready. Cover with a lid and place a large quilt on top to keep it warm.
The whole village was awakened by the sweet smell of milk in the morning!
Especially children, they can't bear such temptation at all: "It smells so good."
The adults also smelled it.
It goes without saying that this must be Shen Qingyue's work.
Early in the morning, Shen Qingyue made milk tea and filled half a kettle for Aunt Dahua and the village chief. They could just pour it when they wanted to drink.
The village chief had never tasted this kind of milk tea and loved it very much.
Holding the teacup that serves the people, I walk all day, taking a sip of the fragrant and smooth tea from time to time, feeling so comfortable that I squint my eyes.
The villagers asked, "What did Shen Qingyue do this morning?"
The village chief said, "Milk tea is delicious." Then he added, "I heard on the radio last time that drinking milk can supplement calcium. You should drink more too."
Even if the villagers wanted to drink the milk tea, they didn't dare to snatch it from the village chief's mouth.
I could only smile awkwardly: "How can we afford to drink this?"
Others said, "We're all human, but Shen Qingyue's brain is just more active and useful than ours."
"Yes, in the past, people drank milk and tea, but there was no idea to combine the two."
"It's not just milk and tea, it also contains sugar." The village chief helped Shen Qingyue prove it.
When others heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
No wonder it tastes so good, it’s all good stuff.
…
As soon as Shen Qingyue opened the stall, she put out the milk tea.
The word "milk tea" was written in large charcoal on it. I bought a water ladle. A full scoop cost one dollar, and half a scoop cost fifty cents.
The milk tea was served in a plastic bag. When they got home, they could just tear a small hole in it and pour it into their own water bottle, or drink directly from the plastic bag!
As soon as the people from Lu Yifeihao Hardware Factory came to buy their lunch boxes, they saw the milk tea.
Lu Yifei asked: "How much is it?"
Shen Qingyue said: "One dollar per scoop, or you can buy half a scoop."
Lu Yifei said, "Give me a scoop."
Although he had never eaten it, he had inexplicable confidence in what Shen Qingyue made.
Someone from the hardware factory also came over and bought two. When I opened the milk tea bucket, I could smell the rich, smooth milk and sweetness. I bought this for my female comrade to drink, and she will definitely like it.
Just like that, the milk tea shop opened before the steel plant even closed for the holiday.
After a while, the state-owned factory's lunch break bell rang, and many people came out to buy food. This time, everyone's attention was attracted by the milk tea. "What is this?"
Shen Qingyue said: "Milk tea, it tastes great!"
Although most people don’t know what milk tea is, they probably know what it is from the name.
One yuan a copy. This is when you can see the steel mill's background.
Only a few people bought the fifty-cent ones, and the rest bought the large buckets. The two large buckets sold for over one hundred and fifty yuan.
After deducting the costs, the net profit can be about 70%.
Those who came late didn’t get any.
Many people bought milk tea that day, and it became popular in the steel plant all of a sudden, especially the female comrades, who loved it so much that they poured it into their own small kettles and drank it in small sips.
After all, it's milk, and it tastes better than powdered milk. It has a light tea aroma and only a hint of sweetness, so it's not greasy at all!
Those who had tried it at the steel plant boasted about how good it was, and those who hadn't tried it were itching to buy it. By the time they tried to buy it, it was already sold out.
I made up my mind: "I'll go earlier tomorrow and buy more." One scoop was more than a pound, but I couldn't help but pour a sip for this person and that person, so I didn't get much to drink myself.
It's so rare to have such a smooth drink. Why is it gone now?
Shen Qingyue's stall outside was in full swing, and the cafeteria was greatly affected.
There are too many leftover dishes now. The ones that are just out of the pot are not selling well, not to mention those that are reheated.
After reheating the pan several times, the vegetables were all rotten and there was nothing I could do but throw them away. After a long time, the director asked about it.
Master Chen didn’t take the small stalls outside seriously before, but now more and more people buy white rice and eat dishes outside, even some small leaders do this. Isn’t this a slap in his face?
Especially today, milk tea is popular.
The whole cafeteria could hear everyone discussing milk tea.
Master Chen could no longer sit still and went straight to the security department.
When the security staff saw Master Chen coming, they immediately asked, "Master Chen, why are you here?"
Master Chen didn't want to exchange too much small talk with him, so he just asked, "Do we allow people to set up stalls outside our factory?"
The captain of the security department knew what Master Chen meant in just one sentence.
The captain of the security department said, "Of course not."
Master Chen said, "Captain, you can do whatever you want." He paused and said, "I definitely won't let you do it in vain."
The security captain immediately understood and said, "Don't worry."
After hearing what he said, Master Chen left.
The captain of the security department has two sons. The eldest son joined the factory early and is now an employee.
The second child has never been arranged. State-owned factories are not like they were in the early years, where you can get a job just by saying so.
Just when he was worried about what to do, Master Chen's words seemed to enlighten him. It would be fine if he could let the second son enter the kitchen. It would also be considered learning a skill.
As for those people setting up stalls at the door, he didn't even look down on them.
The captain of the security department called the two people directly and said, "Xiao Li, Xiao Chen, you two are going on an official business trip with me."
Two burly men came out, looking scary.
When I walked out the door, I saw Shen Qingyue still selling goods.
There aren't many left, and the prices are very favorable. Basically, they're half-price, half-price, and you have to sell out everything.
The security department went straight over.
Before I even got close, I started yelling, "Hey, the lunch vendor, who told you to set up a stall here?"
Shen Qingyue raised her head and said, "The guard asked me to put it up. I even paid for this place."
When the captain of the security department heard this, he choked. He knew that the security guard was the former factory director, who just couldn't bear to leave the factory, so he came back to work as a security guard after retirement.
The captain of the security department just felt that Shen Qingyue didn't understand these things, and said impatiently: "I've never heard of taking money. Stop pretending over there. Get out of here. We are not allowed to set up stalls to sell boxed lunches here." He said viciously.
Seeing that Shen Qingyue didn't move, he threw the large basin containing Shen Qingyue's vegetables to the ground.
This immediately angered Shen Qingyue.
