Liang Guiying said, "Everyone will try to sell things that taste good and sell well. It doesn't matter much whether I tell you the recipe or not. A smart person can make it after trying it once."
"Sister Guiying, you have such a big heart and such a good temper."
Liang Guiying did not deny it, nor did she tell Chen Ping that what she had filled the bucket with in the previous two or three days was not a yellow peel iced drink at all, but tap water with a few yellow peel leaves thrown in.
Liang Guiying took the bag off the handlebars and took out an enamel mug. "Aping, here's some iced lemon tea for you."
Chen Ping was pleasantly surprised: "Sister Guiying, why did you save a cup for me? This big cup could sell for two big bowls!"
"I added ice, it should be almost melted by now, it's perfect to drink now. Here, did you bring a cup?"
Chen Ping's enamel mug was also very large, just enough to hold all the tea that Liang Guiying had given her. She took a couple of sips, her eyes lighting up, but she was reluctant to finish it all at once: "I'll take it back for my daughter to try."
"Your daughter should be at school by now, right? It won't taste good if you leave it until evening. You drink this one, and I'll get you another one this afternoon. Don't worry, it's on me."
"Sister Guiying, how could you possibly accept this?"
"You've been helping me these past few days, so consider this cup of tea a thank you."
Liang Guiying packed her things and went home.
Zhou Xiaonian was already asleep on the sofa, and the fan was on its lowest setting.
Aunt Zhong and Aunt Wang were both very nervous: "How is it? Will it sell?"
Liang Guiying blinked: "Guess."
The two of them only learned that Liang Guiying was going to sell new products today when they came over this morning. Although they both said that the iced lemon tea would sell well after they tasted it, they were still worried. Now that they saw her like this, they were relieved.
Liang Guiying did not choose to fight to the death with those people, but instead took a step back. Now it seems that by taking that step back, she has gained a much clearer future.
"Are they all sold out? How much is a bowl?" Aunt Wang asked.
"A bowl for 15 cents, all sold out."
"Fifteen cents a bowl?!" Aunt Wang almost screamed. "So expensive, and they're willing to drink it?!"
"Aren't you curious why people in Gangcheng love to drink so much? They're curious too."
Liang Guiying brought up the fact that the Wang siblings had lowered the price again and suffered huge losses, and the two of them only regretted that they were not there.
Aunt Zhong clapped her hands: "This is how you should deal with people like this! If you're going to steal business, then steal business, but you can't take away other people's livelihoods! Now they've shot themselves in the foot, they've finally gotten their comeuppance!"
Aunt Wang clicked her tongue and said, "I've never admired anyone in my life, but Liang Guiying, you're the first."
Liang Guiying smiled and asked them if they wanted to go back for a lunch break, or if they didn't, they could help her with the work.
Aunt Zhong clicked her tongue and said to Aunt Wang, "Look at her, she was so distant with me just a few days ago, but now she's starting to boss me around."
"Yes, yes, yes, we absolutely have to make sure she drinks three or five bowls of wine later!"
"If you can drink, you can drink ten or eight bowls, let alone three or five."
Liang Guiying carried a basket of raw lemons out of the house, and Aunt Zhong picked one up and looked at it from left to right.
"Grandma Niannian, where did you buy these lemons? They look great."
"The local yellow lemons sold in the market are not acidic enough and are a bit astringent. If they are not processed properly, it will affect the taste. If they are processed too much, they will lose their lemon flavor. It is difficult to get the balance right and it is easy to mess it up."
That's how it is when you're cooking; no matter how skilled you are, there will always be times when you accidentally sprinkle the salt off the mark.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhong helped process the lemons, while Liang Guiying went to make tea.
Besides the difficulty in handling lemons, the selection of tea leaves is also a major skill.
Jiangcheng Tea House uses black tea dust most often. When Liang Guiying tried making it the first two nights, she felt the taste wasn't very good.
After trying seven or eight kinds of tea, she chose Liubao Red, which is slightly more expensive. This lightly fermented black tea has a smoky aroma and tastes unique and delicious when paired with lemon.
