Chapter 051 Modern Society 12
Shire Tea Shop has launched a new product, the first hot drink of the Autumnal Equinox - Osmanthus Flower Drink.
The red osmanthus becomes crystal clear after being soaked in honey. Take a spoonful as the base, add one-third of the medicine diluent, pour it over hot drink, and a cup of fragrant hair growth drink is ready.
"Hair growth?" After hearing about the new product's benefits, the newly hired clerk, Xiao Yao, instinctively touched her hair. "Boss, does it really grow hair? I'm losing a lot of hair, and I've tried so many anti-hair loss shampoos, but nothing works."
Xie Yunsui glanced at the dark circles under her eyes and said, "If you can't go to bed early, it will only prevent you from losing weight so badly."
Xiao Yao: “…”
She just can't help staying up late. Mobile phones are so fun, how can she control herself to go to bed early?
However, after listening to her boss, she decided to buy herself a cup of osmanthus peanut hair drink every day.
Both the energy drink and the sleep drink are good, but the drinks only have the sweet fruity flavor of mango and wild strawberry. Xiao Yao thinks the taste is too light and not as sweet as the candied osmanthus.
She likes sweet drinks, and if she has to drink one, osmanthus drink is more suitable for her.
Yu Xue came to buy energy sparkling drinks for her roommates again. Ever since they drank the energy sparkling drinks and gained more energy to study, the entire dormitory has become loyal fans of Shire Tea Shop.
As graduation approaches, everyone wants to get all the certificates they need before graduation, and everyone is working very hard.
Walking all the way to the entrance of the tea shop, there were several people queuing, so Yu Xue followed behind and opened the official account of Charles Tea Shop out of boredom.
I just saw that the tea shop has a new product, osmanthus peanut hair-raising drink?
According to the naming rules of the store, the first name is used to change the taste, and the middle name is the main effect of this Chinese herbal decoction.
Hair growth?
Yu Xue touched her head. Although she was young and did not have the problem of hair loss, she did feel that she had been using her brain too much recently and her hairline had moved back a lot.
She has naturally fine and soft hair, and it looks like she has half as much hair as other people. Will hair growth be helpful for her?
When it was her turn to order, for some reason, she subconsciously asked for an extra cup of hair growth drink.
Well...it's only eight bucks anyway, so it might as well give it a try. It smells pretty good.
There are many old customers like Yu Xue who are simply captivated by the word "hair growth". Even though they don't have any problems in this regard, they will subconsciously buy a cup of hair growth drink when they see these two words.
If nothing else, it tastes delicious.
There are also people with baldness who have heard of the effects of Mianmian Drink and Vitality Drink. Regardless of whether they are useful or not, they buy them back home just for psychological comfort.

After class, Lin Xiran habitually opened the social platform when he was moving to another classroom.
He posted posters and promotions for new drinks under the official accounts of each platform, but currently the mainstream platform still has more traffic.
The account of Shire Tea Shop was just created and does not have much attention. It has barely accumulated a few hundred fans thanks to the love of old customers.
Although it was on the hot search before, a long time has passed and even the "He Yiming Silver Party Incident" has gradually been forgotten. It is not the right time for a small tea shop to be remembered forever.
Lin Xiran was used to only getting a dozen or so likes when he went online every day, and the comments were all about throwing flowers, pressing his paw, and saying, "Boss is so handsome."
But this time after clicking it, the screen froze for a moment, and then I saw clearly that the private messages and comments in the background were all 999+ red unread.
Ji Tao glanced sideways and said, "Wow, you're famous?"
It was red, indeed, but not the red that Lin Xiran thought it was.
#Tea shop false advertising#
#Please make good drinks at the milk tea shop#
#A beverage that doesn't want to steal the shampoo business is not a good Chinese medicine#
Ji Tao was stunned: "None of these terms sound like good words."
Lin Xiran clicked on the comments under the official account, and the comment section was basically flooded.
"Yue! Just add some osmanthus honey sauce and it's only eight yuan! Are all kinds of people really making drinks?"
"Black-hearted merchants, false advertising!"
"Please, please spare us bald people. We're already miserable enough. Do we still need to be ripped off by people like you?"
"Honestly, your drinks look good, but you're wrong to advertise them falsely."
"Haha, this is hilarious! I bought so many hair growth products and they didn't work, but I just drank two sips of your drink and it cured me?"
"Wow, I just bought three boxes of concentrate and it went bankrupt. Can I get a refund?"
…
Although he hadn't figured out the whole story yet, Lin Xiran had already discovered from everyone's comments that it seemed to be targeting the hair growth drink.
There were also some original fans who said good things, but they were few in number and their words were not heard, so they were quickly defeated by the army.
Before class started, Lin Xiran quickly checked in with Xie Yunsui.
Xie Yunsui was rushing to the store at this time.
Ten minutes ago, he received a call from Xiao Yao.
"Boss, since we opened today, more than a dozen people who bought hair growth concentrate have come to return it!"
Another employee, Xiao Zhang, added in a low voice, "Two more have arrived, carrying our boxes. They must be here to return some goods as well."
Before she could finish her words, a man's rough voice came from the other end of the phone: "Where is your boss? I want to return the goods."
Xie Yunsui heard it clearly: "...Refund them as much as you can, but don't sell the concentrate for now."
"Okay, boss."
Xie Yunsui’s first reaction was whether the concentrated liquid in the store had gone bad.
I rushed to the store and checked all the concentrates, and found that the quality was normal and none of them had gone bad.
Looking at all the returned orders, all of them were only for hair growth concentrate.
Lin Xiran's phone call just happened to come in: "It seems like we are being targeted."
Xie Yunsui responded.
Based on the reputation they have accumulated in the past, even if old customers feel that the hair growth drink is not effective, they will not be so aggressive in expressing their dissatisfaction online. At most, they will never come to the store again.
Moreover, the hair growth drink has only been on the market for less than half a month. Even if you have been drinking it from the first day to now, which is just over ten days, your hair has not had time to grow. How can you be sure that the hair growth drink is false advertising?
Xie Yunsui was very confident in the efficacy of his medicine, which had been certified by a professional organization in another world.
When he first arrived in this world, he discovered that food product safety testing was mandatory for opening a store. Xie Yunsui also tested all the medicines he might need, including the most expensive ones.
The ingredients listed on the test sheet are safe and do have the corresponding effects.
As the two were talking, Lin Xiran had already found the source of the video, or one of the sources, and asked Xie Yunsui to search for it.
Xie Yunsui did not suspect anything and used keywords to search for a video posted by a reviewer.
[A must-read for bald people! 10 hair loss prevention and growth products tested! You're missing out!]
"Hello everyone, I'm your reviewer Dali. Today is our much-loved review series..."
There were several shampoo products in front of the slightly chubby man, which were commonly used brands that netizens were very familiar with.
Xie Yunsui glanced around and found eight types that he had seen on the shelves of major supermarkets.
This is not important. The key point is that there is also a osmanthus peanut hair drink on the very side which is theirs.
Osmanthus drink is a hot drink, and it is specially served in a scald-proof paper cup with Shire’s exclusive logo printed on it, and the background is also a unique sunset flower.
Beverage review?
Xiao Yao and Xiao Zhang also came over to watch.
[I've used the shampoo second from the left, and it's not good. So, this issue isn't just about reviews, it's also about exposing counterfeits, right?]
[Am I seeing things? Did the old lady bring up her own milk tea as well?]
Has anyone used the blue-bottled shampoo on the right? I've been seeing ads for it a lot lately, and it's quite expensive. Can anyone tell me if it works? If it does, I'll order it.
…
After seeing the dense barrage of comments, I realized that this was a review blogger with a huge fan base. He looked quite professional and took out a pile of test reports without saying a word.
"First, let's talk about this common product on the market. I'm sure many of you have been scammed by it. It's marketed as a hair growth serum, but its test report shows a very high alcohol content..."
"As for these products, they all contain the allergenic preservative methylisothiazolinone, and..."
The review blogger used a bunch of professional terms, which made people dizzy. Many comments said that it was too professional.
Xiao Yao only understood that those bottles of anti-hair loss shampoo were useless.
Xiao Yao murmured, "These models really don't work. I've used them all."
There are only two shampoos left, one of which is the one Xiao Yao is using now.
That one is gentler and does not irritate the scalp, but its anti-hair loss effect is not obvious. It is just cheap and cost-effective, so she has been using it.
Then the blogger also praised this shampoo a little bit. With the previous "anti-counterfeiting" work, this shampoo suddenly became particularly valuable. Coupled with the fact that many people in the barrage said that this shampoo is a good domestic brand, Xiao Yao immediately felt that this blogger was a very professional person.
Zhang Shuangshuang pursed her lips and said nothing.
After that, the blogger praised the remaining blue bottle shampoo, and Xiao Yao had already searched the name online and was ready to place an order.
Finally, the blogger finally talked about the osmanthus flower hair-raising drink.
The blogger said that he found this drink when searching for hair growth products online. He bought a cup to give it a try and immediately sent it to a testing agency.
"The report clearly shows it contains some Chinese herbal ingredients. We can't identify the specifics, but it's a good drink, thanks to the technology." Dali took a deep sip and said, "Unfortunately, no ingredients that can promote hair growth have been detected either. As for the hair growth slogan, it's just a publicity stunt. I guess the boss just came up with a new one because the previous two drinks were so popular."
"I just want to tell that boss here, make drinks properly and don't do anything shady!"
Xiao Yao: “…”
She put her phone down and pretended to be busy.
This blogger is the first one to stand up and say that osmanthus peanut hair-raising drink is not good.
In addition to him, three other male bloggers with over 100,000 followers also posted videos diss-ing the hair growth drink.
One of them specializes in milk tea reviews, and the other specializes in reviews of strange new products. Their sales pitch is similar. They posted a video saying: I heard about a drink with "hair growth" function, so I bought it and drank it for a long time, but it didn't work.
There was another bald man who claimed to be a fan of Shire Tea Shop. He heard that the new product could help hair growth, so he bought ten boxes at once, but his hair didn't grow at all.
Xiao Yao was indignant: "They're talking nonsense! I drank it too, and my hair loss is indeed not as much as before!"
Zhang Shuangshuang was very calm: "The dates they released were very close, from last night to noon today. They came with great momentum, as if they were well prepared."
Xiao Yao: "Exactly, that bald guy, I didn't even see him coming."
But netizens don’t care so much. When they see one, two, or three bloggers say it’s not possible, the seed of “no” will be planted in their hearts.
If these bloggers are allowed to frame the company, it will be a huge blow to Shire Tea Shop.
Xie Yunsui did not hesitate and directly logged into the official account @ four bloggers——
Shire Tea Shop: We sincerely invite four people to come and try our Hair Growth Drink. Food, lodging, and round-trip airfare are included. The entire trial process will be livestreamed.
[Charles Tea Shop: Long hair included.]
