Chu Suhe was extremely unwilling in her heart, but after seeing Xia Ruoming's expectant eyes, she nodded silently.
Only after Xia Ruoming saw Chu Suhe nodded in agreement did she feel relieved and let go of Chu Suhe. She walked behind the bar and carefully checked the bar equipment.
There were still some coffee bean grounds left in the grinder. Maybe the previous owner didn't plan to continue running the business, so he didn't even do a good job of cleaning it.
After pouring the crumbs into the palm of her hand, Xia Ruoming took a part of it and put it in her mouth and chewed it twice. As a senior coffee lover, Xia Ruoming immediately realized that this was some kind of inferior bean, probably a defective product of some Abilaca bean. Since it was coffee from a high-quality location and sold at an extremely high price, it was no wonder that they would pack up and leave so quickly.
In rebuilding the Starry Sky, Xia Ruoming decided to use coffee beans produced in Yunnan and Colombia. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Brazilian beans can also survive in small quantities, but Xia Ruoming has always known that this kind of hard coffee is not popular in China. Soft coffee is still the main coffee in various coffee shops, even Luo Qingxuan's Starry Sky.
The coffee made from coffee beans in Yunnan Province has a low consistency, weak bitterness, and a light fruity aroma. It also occupies an important share of the coffee market in Europe. This type of coffee bean originally had low quality abroad and has always been used as a raw material for making instant coffee. However, under CN's long-term cultivation, it has become an indispensable part of ground coffee and has a considerable market in both affordable and high-end coffee.
Although not as strong as Brazilian coffee, Colombian coffee beans are still one of the best coffee beans in the world. Other coffees are far from comparable to them. After all, they are one of the few coffee beans named after a country, and they are also the pioneers of soft coffee. Due to its unique geographical conditions, Colombian coffee beans have a unique sweet aroma after roasting. The sourness is slightly sweet, the relatively mild bitterness is coupled with moderate thickness, which brings a low-key and elegant feeling. If there is no Colombian coffee beans in the coffee shop, it will definitely be laughed at for calling itself a high-end coffee shop.
As for the source of coffee beans, that matter could be left to Luo Qingxuan. She had tasted Luo Qingxuan's coffee and ground coffee beans in the past when she was in Starry Sky. The quality was really impeccable. Even Xia Ruoming felt that they were a bit too cheap. She even doubted whether Luo Qingxuan's small coffee shop was making money.
After looking around the cafe again, a new idea popped up in Xia Ruoming's mind. She planned to convert the first floor of the cafe into a beverage shop open to the public, selling some cheap drinks, snacks, and ordinary coffee drinks. At the same time, she would retain the seats for seating in the store, just like the XX Tea Princess on Chunxi Road now. The second floor would be used as a private room, which would be a real cafe.
Although there are already many beverage shops at this point in time, there are no chain brands and each one operates its own business.
If an ordinary person came, they might not get any benefits from beverage shops like Coco, but Xia Ruoming is different. She has experience from later generations. The Honey City chain store in later generations launched a 2 yuan ice cream, which became very popular. There were chain stores everywhere, but many people did not know that the 2 yuan ice cream was made of inferior ice cream powder. Xia Ruoming had read the analysis report and found that the actual profit was even more than 30%.
So a supermarket called Homer came up with a bigger gimmick: "fresh milk ice cream"!
That’s right, ice cream made with pure milk, no ice cream paste, no ice cream powder, 100% milk as the raw material.
Fresh milk ice cream made with overnight chilled milk was also sold for only two yuan a stick. In big cities in later generations, this was sold out every day. Homer clearly wrote that it was overnight chilled milk, but it was still sold out.
This thing even dominated the little green book for a long time.
Since her shop also offers latte and cappuccino, and she plans to sell milk tea downstairs, there will be no shortage of overnight chilled milk. Luo Qingxuan would never add opened overnight milk to coffee, and Xia Ruoming would not do that either, so it was just right for her to copy the marketing method from her previous life.
If that doesn't work, she can also start a price war, focusing on selling good quality and low prices. She can sell the same product as yours, but of better quality and one dollar cheaper, and directly drag down the beverage shop next door. After all, most of those shops are rented, and Xia Ruoming can afford it, but they can't.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruoming took a wild action. She went to the Momo convenience store outside and bought two boxes of milk and a bag of sugar. Then she took out the Biluochun Wang that she used to "bribe" the principal and made a pot of tea directly with the coffee machine.
If Wu Kejin saw Xia Ruoming's behavior here, he would probably scold Xia Ruoming for being a spendthrift. This is the first-picked Biluochun tea. Just 100g costs several thousand. Are you just using a coffee pot to make it for fun?
After the Biluochun tea was cooked, Xia Ruoming poured the tea into the large plastic measuring cup she had prepared. After doing this, Xia Ruoming heated the milk and poured it into the Biluochun tea according to the proportions of making English afternoon tea for the little princess that she remembered from her previous life.
"Would you like some milk tea, Susu?" Xia Ruoming handed over a small coffee cup filled with hot milk tea. "But be careful, it's still a little hot."
Chu Suhe was a little confused when she saw Xia Ruoming running around suddenly, and she was even more confused when she saw Xia Ruoming using a coffee machine to make tea. Although she didn't know what kind of tea it was, but the words "special grade" and "first class" printed on the lid were enough for anyone with eyesight to understand what they meant.
