Chapter 179 Opening
When they arrived in Shenzhen and were leaving the airport, Song Rui saw a young man wearing glasses in front of her shouting.
"I won the lottery! I won the lottery!"
Song Rui and Song Hua quickly lowered their heads in tacit understanding and walked away.
"Anyone who wins the lottery and still screams is mentally ill."
"If it were me, I would hide it in my socks."
"That's right."
The two chatted for a while and walked away.
The young man with glasses looked away regretfully.
No one was fooled.
After staying in Shenzhen for a day, the Song Rui sister visited the most prosperous area of Shenzhen, bought some clothes and cameras, and took a boat to the port city the next day.
It was the first time for the two people who grew up in the inland to take a boat ride.
Sitting on the boat, they took photos of each other.
Taking photos now is not like in later times. You can take them with your mobile phone and see them immediately.
They have to wait until they get home to have these photos developed in a photo studio.
No one knows what the photo looks like until it is developed.
But it also adds some unresolved expectations to every trip.
Facing the sea breeze and looking at the prosperous city ahead that they had only seen in movies, they all had an indescribable feeling.
After a while, Song Hua murmured, "It's great to grow up."
yes.
It’s great to grow up.
They are not the cheap girls who lose money as anyone says.
They have the ability to treat themselves, to experience new things they have never experienced before, and to see worlds they have never seen before.
"Bring Nan Nan and Xiao Juan with you next time. Girls should see more of the world."
"Okay! I'll come again next time!"
The two of them went ashore with great interest, as if they were filled with boundless enthusiasm.
The sun rose to the middle of the sky and then set, and the two people went from being extremely enthusiastic to dragging their feet.
I'm tired, so tired.
After all, they came here to do serious business.
The milk tea culture had not yet taken off in mainland China in the 1990s, but in Hong Kong, it was one of the symbols of food culture.
No matter young or old, rich or poor, milk tea is open to everyone in an inclusive way.
Although Song Rui had seen how popular milk tea became in later generations, she also learned how to make it.
But we must also understand what milk tea looks like in today's era.
This requires more walking and more observation.
The two found a local guide and asked her to take them to almost all the popular ice cream parlors in Hong Kong, and drank a lot of soup.
Song Hua had never drunk milk tea before.
When I drank the first cup, my eyes lit up.
As she drank the second and third cups, the light in her eyes faded again.
When she returned to the hotel at night, her belly was shaking and she felt like crying but had no tears left as she listened to the sound of water inside.
After staying in Hong Kong for a few days, they returned to Shenzhen.
After visiting and tasting some famous local shops, the two boarded the plane back home, filled with a lot of new knowledge.
Decide on raw materials, decide on packaging, buy equipment, adjust flavors...
The two returned to Fengcheng and worked non-stop for half a month, finally opening the store before the weather got hot.
The two stores are very close to each other, with only a few households in between. After the renovation, the windows close to the road were knocked down and replaced with wide storefronts.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a bar for ordering food, and there is a price list with clear prices on it.
There are two rows of sofas against the wall in front, and the kitchen and operation room are half-hidden by the curtains behind the bar.
Turn right from the bar and you will see another large open room.
There are tables inside, which serve as a dining area.
The decoration of the braised meat shop is simpler and more elegant, while the decoration of the milk tea shop is more romantic and warm.
Each store employs two clerks who wear uniform work clothes and start working after training. They look neat and clean.
On the first day of opening, old customers waiting to eat pork trotter rice rushed into the store impatiently.
The days when Song Hua didn't set up her stall are really unforgettable.
Seeing how well she was selling, some people followed her example and set up stalls to sell braised meat, but the taste was nothing like the same.
After all, Song Hua brought this secret recipe back from far away, and it was improved by Song Rui, so it is not easy to imitate.
It was finally reopened. The house was so clean and bright, and there was a place to dine, which immediately attracted a lot of old customers.
Song Rui printed out coupons in advance, and gave everyone who came to buy braised pork a 20-cent coupon, which could be used to buy milk tea next door.
A cup of milk tea costs only one yuan, and this voucher is worth 20 cents. Many people will buy it to try it just for the cheap price.
The icy cold milk tea with ice cubes gives you a rich aroma as soon as you take a sip.
The aroma of milk and tea is mixed together, and there are tiny pearls in it. You can't stop drinking it once you start.
In the afternoon, students from the Agricultural University ran to the milk tea shop and lined up.
It is novel, delicious and inexpensive, which is exactly what college students like.
The two people we hired were simply overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the store opens today, and Ling Ye, Dong Zi and Liu Cuizhi are all here.
Even Shou Biao, who just returned to Fengcheng yesterday, came to join in the fun.
No one's come in vain.
Song Rui put on their work clothes and they stood behind the bar together, shaking milk tea.
It would be fine for others, but Ling Ye's cold and fierce ruffian aura, the way he wore that custom-made white and green floral apron and shook the milk tea, was so hilarious that people couldn't help laughing and dared not look at him directly.
Song Rui couldn't help it and secretly took out her camera to take a picture.
When Shou Biao saw her taking pictures, he quickly posed like an eggplant.
Finally, we just took a group photo.
"It's a pity that we didn't even think of taking a group photo when we opened our factory."
"What a pity! We can just make up for it when the expansion begins."
Considering the factory's current performance and development, expansion will be a quick matter.
After everyone had been drinking milk tea for a day, Song Rui treated everyone to a meal.
Before setting off, it was time for Song Hua’s favorite part, counting money.
The two stores drive each other forward, and their business is booming.
The flow of customers in front of the university is already very high, and there is little competition, so customers are pouring in like turning on a faucet.
After doing the math, I found that the milk tea shop alone made nearly 800 yuan. After deducting costs and labor, utilities, at least half of it was left.
But it’s more than what I earned last month.
The braised pork rice has regular customers and the average customer spending is higher, which is almost as much as that of the milk tea shop.
The combined revenue from the two stores brings in a net income of nearly 800 yuan a day.
Even if she and Song Rui's family split it in half, there would still be 400 yuan left.
That’s more than ten thousand yuan a month.
Song Hua seemed to see countless banknotes flying towards her with wings.
"Sister, give me a break. I think I'm dreaming."
Song Rui tapped her forehead, "We are just getting started. You should sort out these two stores first. When we save some money, we will open a branch."
"Fengcheng is so big, and we only occupy a small part of the market. If we don't open branches, others will follow our example. It's better for us to open our own stores in commercial streets, downtown areas, and in front of schools!"
"Open! Open!" Song Hua couldn't close her mouth, "It must be opened!"
