These words caught Su An off guard, causing her to stumble. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and turned to look.
It was dusk, which cast a warm, soft glow on the handsome face of the man in the wheelchair, making his long eyebrows and bright eyes appear even more striking, with his pale lips and dark pupils, as he stared at me so casually.
Su An immediately thought of the matchmaker from yesterday; perhaps Zhou Li hadn't kept his mouth shut again.
However, it turns out that the God of Wealth, who seems aloof and unapproachable, also enjoys gossip and juicy stories?
Su An chuckled inwardly, shook her head, and gave an answer without hesitation: "No, no, how could that be? Business is just starting to pick up, and I'm already overwhelmed with work. Besides, I want to expand and strengthen the business, opening shops all over the country. I'm not getting married."
As she spoke, a bright smile bloomed on her delicate lips, and she added from the bottom of her heart, "Besides, who says a woman can only get married?"
"As long as I do what I want to do and give it my all, I will have no regrets in this life!"
"..."
Fu Zhun remained speechless for a long time. After watching the woman finish speaking, she walked away happily. He was stunned, but his heart felt heavy, as if something was pressing down on it.
He could only frown and pour himself a cup of tea to calm his inexplicable emotions.
Su An didn't think much of it after returning home. After a night of experimentation and several tastings with Fu Zhun, she finally settled on the proportions of less sugar, half sugar, and seven-tenths sugar for the milk tea.
However, when she was recording the final notes, she was not very familiar with traditional Chinese characters, so she had to humbly ask the most reliable person, Fu Zhun, for help.
Seeing that she had only made a few mistakes in writing, Fu Zhun corrected her while praising her in surprise, "You're quick at recognizing characters."
Just a few days ago, he clearly couldn't even read. How incredibly intelligent is he?
His talent is probably even greater than that of Zhou Li back then.
Upon hearing this, Su An blinked slightly guiltily. Traditional Chinese characters are, after all, the ancient system; it would be unreasonable if he couldn't learn them quickly!
By the time everything was settled, it was already afternoon.
Su An carried the milk tea into the teahouse, and as she expected, the shop was empty. Uncle Lin at the counter almost fell asleep.
This morning, the teahouse started selling steamed buns. Some of the popular buns were sold out at the Su family's shop, so customers would crowd into the teahouse to buy them. But the bustling scene was short-lived, and everyone dispersed after buying their buns.
Teahouses can retain very few customers.
Su An had just shaken her head when Uncle Lin on the other end yawned, suddenly noticed her, and immediately beamed with joy, "Little An?"
"Come, sit down, let me make you a cup of good tea!"
Seeing Uncle Lin's delighted expression, Su An could only smile helplessly and get straight to the point. He was quite satisfied with the grand occasion this morning.
"Uncle, stop what you're doing and try this."
Uncle Lin thought the little girl was thinking about him and had brought him some food again, so he smiled and accepted it. But when he took a sip of the milk tea, his face immediately showed a look of shock.
"Is this... tea?"
How can it be so mellow, sweet, and delicious?!
It not only has the flavor of tea, but also a rich and sweet aroma. One sip and you feel full and warm all over, it's like a dream!
"Xiao An, could you sell me the recipe for this tea? I'll pay you 100 taels! If that's not enough, just name your price!" Uncle Lin's face flushed with excitement, and he stammered, almost losing his composure.
He often tried new things, so he knew without a second thought that this was Su An's cooking.
I never expected that this little girl would even know how to make tea!
"Uncle, don't be anxious. I came here because I want to cooperate with you." Su An calmed Uncle Lin down with a gentle voice. She first introduced the milk tea, and then finally proposed that she would not sell the whole thing, but would instead ask for a share of the profits.
"What? You get 30% and I get 70%?" Uncle Lin went from being excited and shocked at the beginning to waving his hands in a flustered manner, saying, "No, no, you invented this milk tea. You deserve the most credit. If we're going to split it, it should be 50/50!"
He was already content with the status quo, thinking that it would be good enough if he could sell steamed buns every day to attract customers. Who knew that he would receive such an unexpected surprise, which left him completely bewildered.
Looking at Uncle Lin's simple and helpless face, Su An said without hesitation, "Uncle Lin, the cost of making milk tea is not small. It requires fresh milk every day and a lot of manpower. The process is intricate and busy, and it's not that simple. You take 70% of the profits fairly and squarely. I didn't give you any leeway!"
She didn't really offer any discounts; it's all about the more you work, the more you earn. Besides, the milk tea needs to maintain its quality, and even if she hired someone, Uncle Lin still needs to supervise the process every day. It's not an easy job.
But Uncle Lin refused no matter what. He was an experienced manager, so how could he not see the huge profits in milk tea? In the long run, even if he only took 10%, he could still make a fortune with small profits and quick turnover!
This is an immense favor!
Seeing this, Su An had no choice but to give up. They started pulling at each other, and finally Uncle Lin compromised, splitting the money 40/60, with Su An getting 40%.
In the following period, Su An helped the teahouse recruit workers and order materials. During this time, he also developed several different tea bases and added several small ingredients such as longan, glutinous rice, almonds, and raisins. He was very busy.
Su An even hung a plaque at the entrance of the teahouse to promote the business, and shouted out advertisements when selling steamed buns.
In a short time, before milk tea even appeared on the market, its fame had already spread far and wide.
Until the day the milk tea was officially launched.
No fancy sales model is needed; as long as you buy the milk tea and try it, people will instantly go wild and create a frenzy!
"Boss, is this delicious food really made from tea?! The taste is amazing!"
"Why do I feel like my soul is floating after drinking this? It's like I'm dreaming on a cloud! When did your cooking become so good, boss?!"
"No, not only can you choose the sweetness level, but there are also so many toppings! And those taro balls, this is the first time I've ever had them, I've never seen anything like them before!"
In an instant, the teahouse was in an uproar, filled with exclamations and nearly bursting with people.
Uncle Lin was beaming with joy. While excitedly working, he proudly exclaimed, "That's not my skill at all, it's all thanks to Su An, the little girl next door!"
"She can not only make steamed buns, but she also invented this amazing milk tea! Her skills are truly divine, I just benefited from it!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in even greater excitement, discussing the matter enthusiastically, all expressing their utmost admiration for Su An.
Especially early in the morning, after buying milk tea, everyone rushes to buy steamed buns, and after buying the buns, they rush into the teahouse.
This not only saved them from the hassle of long queues, but also allowed them to buy delicious food and drinks. Everyone felt like they were dreaming.
The number of customers at the steamed bun shop did not decrease; in fact, some customers bought even more steamed buns after drinking hot milk tea, which whetted their appetites.
Su An was not surprised by this, and remained smiling, her eyebrows raised in confidence.
I'm not afraid of a milk tea shop opening next door. As long as the taste is good, I don't have to worry about customers leaving!
Just then, a shifty-looking man, after buying the steamed buns, didn't leave. Instead, he lowered his voice and asked Su An, "Young boss, I heard that the milk tea recipe is yours?"
"Sell me the formula! I'll pay double whatever the teahouse offers!"
