Chapter 268: The menu has been polished again
Sang Yu called Liu Mao and they each took a bowl of double skin milk and sat aside to eat, chatting casually.
"Please choose seasonal fruits. They are cut and sold daily to ensure the taste and freshness. As for other small ingredients, I will send you a batch regularly."
Sang Yu still kept it a secret out of habit.
Although it is not difficult to imitate the condiments, the proportion of sugar and the heat need to be slowly experimented with.
By the time other sweet drink shops and sugar soup shops had figured out how to make the condiments, their shop had already taken advantage of this period to become famous, and people would think of their shop whenever they thought of sweet drinks.
At the same time, it can also prevent the store's employees from stealing the methods of making the condiments and spreading them, which means our family members will have to endure some hardship.
"Yeah." Liu Mao nodded slightly.
He never asked the reason for Sang Yu's words, but just kept doing them, and he always got the benefits.
"The menu has been polished up a bit," Sang Yu said as he pulled out a folded piece of paper from his waist and slowly unfolded it. "Let's make all the items on it today and remove anything that doesn't suit your taste."
Liu Mao still nodded.
Seeing that he never spoke, Sang Yu felt a little strange and looked at him with her head tilted.
After a long while, she came to a conclusion: "There's something wrong with you."
Liu Mao suddenly recalled the scene when she had yelled at him before. She seemed to have said the same sentence at that time, and he was immediately frightened.
I quickly explained: "I haven't done anything presumptuous recently!"
"That's not it." Sang Yu still shook her head and stared at him for a long moment before saying, "Did you give the script to that person for me yesterday?"
Seeing that she finally let go of the matter and changed the subject, Liu Mao breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, and spoke with more confidence.
"It was delivered, but I didn't see him. It was received by one of his men."
This is normal. Sang Yu nodded gently: "It's okay. Whether he accepts it or not is his business. We send it to him to show our attitude. It will be easier to talk to him if we want to get closer to him in the future."
"Will you continue to deliver today?" Liu Mao asked.
"certainly."
Sang Yu made a brief but firm judgment on the matter and continued to stare at Liu Mao, making him feel uncomfortable all over but not saying a word.
In the end, Liu Mao lost his patience and told everything.
"I do have something to hide from you, but it's definitely not the same thing as last time."
Sang Yu said nothing, gently scooped a spoonful of double skin milk into her mouth, and signaled him to continue with a look that said "keep talking, I'm listening."
"I, I..." Liu Mao hesitated, feeling that he really couldn't say these words, but he knew that Sang Yu would not let him go easily if he didn't say it, so he finally closed his eyes and made up his mind.
"I have a few friends who also want to run a sweet drink shop, and I'd like to ask if they can join us."
He was unaware of this at first, but when he entrusted the skewers and oden business to a friend, he casually mentioned that he wanted to open a sweet drink shop.
However, he didn't expect that when they invited him to dinner last night, he had intentionally or unintentionally expressed his desire to join the sweet drink shop.
He would definitely refuse. After all, he only got this job based on his experience of working with Sang Yu. How could he make a promise so easily?
But after all, they were friends for many years, so he didn't refuse outright, but just said he would go back and ask his partner.
When he got home and thought about it carefully, he gradually understood why they did that.
The matter is very simple. The skewers and oden business is actually very prosperous. The money earned every day is not much, but it is definitely not a small amount.
At this time, he resolutely gave up managing the business himself and turned around to run a sweet drink shop. This can only mean one thing - sweet drink shops are more profitable.
No one in the world would complain about making too much money. It is normal to want to join in when you see a rising way to make money.
He had originally planned to keep this matter in his heart and not tell Sang Yu, and just wait for a while to reject those friends and brothers, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hide it at all and she saw through it at a glance.
After listening to this, Sang Yu thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "So that's what it is. It's not impossible."
"Can I join the store?" Liu Mao was a little surprised. He thought Sang Yu would control it very strictly.
"No, no, no, they definitely can't join this store. But after we've been running it for a while and made a name for ourselves, we might let them join when we open a branch."
Sang Yu knew one thing very clearly - the decision-making level in the early stage of business opening cannot be complicated.
The more people who make decisions, the more disagreements there will be.
Zhong Xueru's attitude was very clear. She just let her do it, gave her dividends based on the time, and did not interfere with the store's operations.
In this situation, if Sang Yu wants to create a new product or implement a new system, it only takes a word and he can do it with full freedom.
If she accepted investment from other parties, she would have to inform them of any changes, which would be extremely troublesome.
"Oh, that's a good thing." After hearing her explanation, Liu Mao was still happy.
He knew Sang Yu's ability to make money and her creative ideas very well. Even if he was not the 'first person to try something new', the leftovers he made from following her would be enough for his friends and brothers to eat their fill.
If he has spare money at that time, he would also like to join in, earn more money, and feel more confident.
The time they spent chatting passed quickly, and the sweet drinks at that time basically did not require any time-consuming preparation steps.
Soon, Xiaotao and Dazhuang brought portions of popular sweet drinks to the two of them.
Sang Yu was quite an expert at tasting. She tasted each sweet drink one by one, rinsing her mouth with water in between to remove any remaining taste.
After tasting them all, she simply crossed out a few names from the paper. The taste wasn't bad, but it was just mediocre.
"Our shop sells sweet drinks. We don't have to have many varieties, but they must taste good."
From the very beginning, she wanted to go the boutique route. In a location like Qinghuan Street, the colors can be beautiful and the taste can be delicious, but it must not be mediocre.
If you can easily get the same flavor elsewhere, why bother buying it from this shop? It can't be just because it's close, right?
She also made various targeted improvements to the remaining sweet drinks, enhancing the flavor by adjusting the slight proportions while retaining their original taste.
These things might take other sweet drink shops ten days or half a month to complete, but Sang Yu finished them all in just one morning.
It mainly took away the fame of various milk teas and beverages in later generations.
Even herbal teas and medicinal drinks have been continuously improved by generations, and the taste has been optimized to the most acceptable ratio.
After being baptized by endless stream of beverages, Sang Yu wanted to improve the taste of existing sweet drinks, which was as easy as asking a high school student to solve elementary school math problems of one plus one.
