Chapter 045 Modern Society 6
The next day, just as my roommate had expected, there were already people queuing at the door before it even opened.
The heat of September has not yet dissipated, and the opening hours of Shire Tea Shop are 11:00 am, when the sun is shining brightly.
Lin Xiran was so hot just walking from the subway entrance to the store door for two minutes. How long had these girls been waiting?
Xie Yunsui followed behind, carrying his usual blue and white backpack.
But there was no lunch in it. Lin Xiran didn't have classes today, so they ate at home. The bag contained small biscuits for afternoon tea.
He opened the door and the first step was to turn on the air conditioner. Lin Xiran turned on the machine.
"Don't worry, don't worry, order here. We only have one type of drink right now. Just specify how many you want when you order."
Lin Xiran quickly took on the role of shop assistant.
The leading girl might not have updated her information in a timely manner and didn't know that the store had hired a new employee. She asked in confusion: "Huh? Are you and the owner a couple?"
Lin Xiran quickly glanced at Xie Yunsui and said anxiously, "No, I'm a new employee."
"But you two came here together." The girl smiled and said, "Besides, you're pretty and a good match for the owner."
Lin Xiran was slightly distracted because the girl was obviously joking.
Even though it was a joke, my heart still felt a ripple when I heard the word "well-matched".
Xie Yunsui walked over and said gently to Lin Xiran, "Go prepare the drinks."
Then he tilted his head and asked the girl calmly, "How many drinks would you like? On the rocks?"
Xie Yunsui's expression became serious, as if he couldn't take a joke anymore. The girl was too embarrassed to say anything else and placed the order seriously.
The girl behind him originally wanted to take the opportunity to take a photo or ask for contact information, but because of Xie Yunsui's attitude, even taking photos became secret.
No wonder all the photos online were taken secretly. The owner looks cold and difficult to talk to.
After three hours of non-stop work, Lin Xiran finally finished this wave and breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on a small stool and ate some cookies to recharge himself.
Xie Yunsui poured him a cup of lower-concentration energy potion water, his tone slightly gentle, "If you're hungry, I'll order takeout?"
Lin Xiran looked at his expression carefully: "I thought you were angry."
Xie Yunsui was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "No, I thought you were angry, but it's not easy to argue with them."
When he heard the girl's joke and saw Lin Xiran's blushing cheeks, he thought he was offended. However, due to his status as a shop assistant, he couldn't get angry with the customer, so he changed seats with him.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Lin Xiran was heartbroken for a long time, and only now did he taste the sweetness of the biscuits.
It is sweet, fragrant and crispy.
Lin Xiran raised his voice and said, "The basketball game you played with that guy yesterday went viral on our school forum, so we have so many guests here today. They all want to get to know you."
Xie Yunsui didn't show any surprise: "Looks like we can prepare the new drinks in the next few days."
"Speaking of which, aren't you going to add takeout?"
"Food delivery platforms take a lot of commission, so the profit is not high. Plus, with so many orders, it will be very busy, so forget it."
Lin Xiran's eyebrows curved: "I've never seen a boss like you who is afraid of making money."
I took a break from my busy schedule and found another wave of customers coming.
Two days later, Shire Tea Shop launched two new drinks, but strangely, these two drinks were actually time-limited.
A summer mango-inspired sparkling drink, available during the lunch hour and no longer sold after 4 p.m.
A wild strawberry sleepy sparkling drink is only sold one hour before closing time. For this reason, Shire Tea Shop adjusted its closing time and extended it to 8:30 p.m.
The store owner was as willful as ever. There was no promotion for the two new products, and he just quietly added two lines to the menu bar.
After class, Yu Xue went to the Shire Tea Shop as usual, ready to buy a cup of sour cherry juice sparkling drink to take back.
Today's classes are over, but she still has to read and study in the dormitory, so she habitually buys some sweet water to encourage herself.
The prices at other milk tea shops are too expensive. One cup costs three cups here. Ever since she tried the drinks at Shire Tea Shop once, she has been buying them here.
"Hello, what would you like to drink?"
"One cup. Huh?" Yu Xue blurted out while holding the mobile phone, but she felt something was wrong. Why did the clerk ask different questions today than usual?
Xie Yunsui smiled faintly, "We have new products coming out. These two contain ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine decoctions. The Summer Mango Vitality Sparkling Drink can replenish your energy, but it's hard to fall asleep if you drink it at night, so we'll stop selling it at four o'clock."
In line with the principle of giving it a little publicity, Xie Yunsui gave a brief introduction.
Yu Xue looked at the time. It was 3:55. It was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
She was a little hesitant. She liked the taste of the cherry juice sparkling drink, which was sour and sweet and quite appetizing. It was delicious to drink a glass in the afternoon and then have dinner in the evening.
The new product actually contains Chinese herbal decoction ingredients... Chinese medicine, just thinking about it makes me feel bitter.
However, Yu Xue also has a bit of a spirit of challenge. She doesn't know what kind of store is trending, nor does she care whether the owner is handsome or not. When she walked into the Shire Tea Shop and bought a cup of sour cherry juice sparkling drink, it was simply because she had tried all the flavors in other milk tea shops and wanted to try new flavors she had never had before.
Yu Xue's eyes swept across the menu bar. The price was still eight yuan, and it was sold for a limited time.
People always care about words like "limited time" and "limited quantity".
Yu Xue hesitated for another two minutes, and as the time was about to expire, she finally made up her mind: "Come on, have a drink."
Ah, Yu Xue was quite annoyed. She obviously hated the smell of Chinese medicine the most.
Perhaps because her expression was too vivid, Xie Yunsui explained, "It tastes a bit like mugwort balls, but a little lighter. You can't tell the difference unless you taste it carefully."
Yu Xue felt much better.
At this time, there was only one shop owner in the store. Xie Yunsui placed the order and started making the food.
First, add a thick layer of mango puree to the bottom of the cup, then pour one-third of a cup of energy potion diluted liquid in front of the tea bucket marked with the word "vitality", and finally add sparkling water.
These operations are still very simple. The only complicated part is the preparation of mango puree. You need to prepare enough mangoes in advance, peel and dice them, and then mash them into puree.
Mango puree is made from fresh mangoes without any syrup added, leaving only the sweetness of the fruit itself.
Yu Xue took a sip on the spot. It tasted sweet, with a strong mango flavor, and a faint hint of herbal aroma. The moment it entered her mouth, she immediately felt refreshed from the fatigue after class and felt full of energy.
She was afraid that it wouldn't taste good, so she was ready to buy another cup of cherry juice sparkling drink. Who knew that this cup of summer mangoes would give her a surprise.
After paying the bill, Yu Xue walked back to the dormitory.
"Are you back?" My roommate returned to the dormitory first, had just washed his face, and was ready to study.
Both of them are interested in preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, so they have their own study plans after class on weekdays, and their daily study tasks are still very tight.
Yu Xue quickly put down her bag and opened the book at the same time as her.
My roommate asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to wash your face?"
They feel drowsy right after class, so washing their faces with cold water can stimulate their spirits. This is what they usually do.
Yu Xue shook her head: "It's okay, I just went out to buy some drinks, and I'm feeling pretty good now."
The roommate didn't care: "I timed it."
Yu Xue: "Well, let's start."
Both of them agreed to study for an hour, get up and move around for ten minutes to clear their minds.
My roommate was concentrating on doing his homework, but he felt a little exhausted after half an hour. His cell phone was placed next to him, and he really wanted to pick it up and take a look.
Looking back at Yu Xue, she was still doing the questions seriously, so her roommate gritted her teeth and continued until the hour was over. When the timer rang, she immediately dropped her pen, stood up and stretched.
"Oh, finally I can take a break."
Normally it should be a duet, why is it only her voice today?
The roommate looked at Yu Xue and found that she was still doing the questions seriously.
"Yuxue, get up and move around."
"Uh-huh."
Yu Xue stood up, but still had paper and pen in her hand to do the questions.
The ten-minute break passed quickly. The roommate put down his phone and found that Yu Xue was still doing the questions.
Roommate: "What's wrong with you? Are you struggling with the questions today?"
Doesn’t Yu Xue usually like playing with her phone more than her?
Yu Xue said without even looking up: "I feel pretty good now. I'm having a great time doing the exercises. I need to keep this momentum going."
I usually want to play with my mobile phone because I feel that studying is too tiring and I always want to relax. Once I relax, I waste a lot of time.
Yu Xue didn’t know what happened. It was as if she suddenly returned to high school, the time when she was immersed in studying and solving problems.
Wow, it feels so good!
She took a sip of the drink and continued to bury her head.
The roommate didn't understand why, but he just felt the atmosphere of Juan for some unknown reason.
Other roommates brought back dinner, and they watched Yu Xue finish her dinner in three minutes and then do her English exercises.
The roommate was shocked: Is she crazy about studying?
Yu Xue maintained this learning state until ten o'clock in the evening, then she stood up and stretched.
She turned around and found that her roommates were looking at her with worried expressions.
"Xiaoxue, we still have time, don't push yourself too hard."
Yu Xue: “Ah?”
What's too tight?
Her roommate who was taking the postgraduate entrance exam with her was almost crying.
-
Xie Yunsui is washing and processing wild strawberries in preparation for the wild strawberry sparkling drink for the evening.
There was no publicity, no activities, and based on today's mango consumption rate, he only processed about two kilograms of wild strawberries.
Lin Xiran rushed into the store, his breath a little confused: "Are you busy today? I'm here to take over the shift."
He ran over as soon as the get out of class was over, his face flushed unnaturally from running, and his smooth white forehead was covered with sweat.
Xie Yunsui raised her eyes and saw that his breath had dyed his lips bright red. Her eyes froze for a moment, then she looked away and said, "It's not a big deal. There aren't many customers in the store today. You can sit down and rest for a while."
Lin Xiran also noticed that there was no customer in the store at this time.
As students are looking for food after class, the peak period for milk tea shops has not yet arrived.
Xie Yunsui took out a lunch box from his blue and white backpack and handed it to him: "Eat first."
After the working hours are extended, it is too late to cook at home in the evening, so Xie Yunsui will prepare an extra lunch box before coming to work in the morning.
When I opened the lunch box, I saw the familiar sweet and sour pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded pork with green peppers neatly placed in the compartments. The rice in the largest area was shiny and glossy, as if it had just been taken out of the rice cooker.
The whole bento seemed to still be warm.
Lin Xiran didn't think too much about it. He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs that was red in color and full of sour fragrance and put it into his mouth.
It seemed like the first time I ate the sweet and sour pork ribs made by the owner. After he praised them for being delicious, I started eating them every day.
Although the owner has said that he is honing his cooking skills and studying food seriously every day, making sweet and sour spare ribs is just a way to improve his skills.
But people who are secretly in love will find candy for themselves.
Lin Xiran appeared calm on the surface, but the little man inside was so sweet that he was cheering for joy.
