After taking a sip of lemon tea, Xu An recalled what Liang Dani had just said: the lemons and tea leaves from Hezibao are both sour and astringent when eaten alone. Xu Heping had also mentioned this issue.
Saturday's live stream was a great success, selling 3.5 tons of pomegranates in 24 hours. As of today, a total of 6.8 tons have been sold, half of which were repurchased by old customers.
With such achievements, Xu Heping naturally wanted to continue his efforts and sell the cash crops produced in the surrounding villages while they were still in good condition.
However, with more than ten different cash crops, we can't just start all of them at once. We definitely need to arrange a sequence and discuss and plan a live-streaming strategy.
Therefore, at Li Sixin's suggestion, Xu Heping sorted the cash crops according to their variety, taste, quantity, maturity date, and ease of transportation.
Fruits like oranges, dates, and persimmons, which are delicious and easy to transport, were naturally handled without any problems and were arranged effortlessly.
After tasting the astringent and bitter tea from Liaojia Village, the overly juicy grapes from Hua'an Village, and the tooth-sour lemons from Shuangzhai Village, Xu Heping had a headache.
This is being sold using the reputation of Xu's Braised Food Shop. If customers are dissatisfied with these cash products, their first reaction will definitely be that Xu's Braised Food Shop has become arrogant and is starting to cheat them.
Although somewhat reluctant, after careful consideration, Xu An and Xu Heping reached a consensus to remove the products that did not meet market sales requirements from the live stream list.
After the selection order was announced, the villages that weren't chosen took turns coming to inquire about the reasons. Xu Heping had to explain to them again and again why he hadn't been selected.
After that day, Xu An almost never left Hezibao again, fearing he might run into the villagers on the road and see the disappointment and envy in their eyes.
Although Xu An did not personally experience all of this, he could feel the regret of being powerless from Xu Heping's description.
However, things seem to have taken a turn for the better now!
"Dani, did you make this lemon tea?" Xu An turned to Liang Dani, who was holding a tray and looked nervous, and asked, "Besides the tea leaves and lemons from Hezibao, what other ingredients did you use?"
Liang Dani couldn't tell whether Xu An wanted to question her or praise her, so she skipped the first half of the sentence and went straight to the second half: "Besides the tea and lemons from Hezibao, only syrup and water were added, and there were no other ingredients."
How much does the syrup cost?
"I bought it on Taobao. It cost 6.8 yuan for 500 grams. You need 50 grams of syrup for one cup of lemon tea."
"If we buy one ton of this syrup at a time, the price is two thousand four hundred yuan," Lu Ziyue, the head of logistics, added from the side. "There are several factories in Haishi that produce syrup, so purchasing is very convenient."
Tea from Hezibao costs three yuan per jin, medium-sized lemons cost two yuan per jin, and syrup costs one yuan and twenty cents per jin. The raw materials are very cheap!
Xu An didn't know how much a cup of lemon tea cost on the market now, but in his previous life, the price of lemon tea had once climbed to over twenty yuan a cup, and even after the price dropped somewhat, it was still over ten yuan.
Assuming a cup of lemon tea is priced at ten yuan, the cost of a cup of lemon tea is between 1.5 and 2 yuan, and the remaining eight yuan is pure profit!
hiss----
The milk tea industry is incredibly profitable!
If you only sell lemon tea, the initial investment for the shop would be no more than 30,000 yuan. Why don't you give it a try?
"Tang Wen!" Xu An looked away from the lemon tea in his hand and at Tang Wen, who was happily eating melon seeds while holding a lemon tea. He instructed, "Except for the live broadcast plan, postpone all other work. In the next two days, go out and check the market and data. Make me a survey report on the milk tea industry, with lemon tea as the main focus!"
"Hmm!" Tang Wen's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she blurted out, "Boss, are you planning to enter the milk tea industry?"
"I have this idea, but whether we can put it into practice depends on the investigation report." After saying that, Xu An turned to Liang Dani and asked again, "Did you make this lemon tea?"
Having heard the conversation just now, Liang Dani naturally understood what Xu An wanted to do, and immediately replied, "This was Aunt Fang's suggestion, and Aunt He and I did it together following the online tutorial!"
Are you interested in making lemon tea?
From Xu An's words, Liang Dani realized a possibility, and her voice suddenly became stammering: "Boss...you...you mean..."
"Are you interested?" Xu An didn't answer, but continued to press.
Liang Dani glanced at Aunt Fang and Aunt He, and seeing the supportive and encouraging looks on their faces, she mustered her courage and replied, "Interested! Boss, I'm willing!"
"Then you can research other ways to make lemon tea these days, such as passion fruit lemon tea, fruit-filled lemon tea, kumquat lemon tea, etc. You can ask Manager Lu to help you buy the ingredients. If you don't have enough lemons and tea leaves, you can contact General Manager Xu to send some more over."
After assigning this impromptu task, Xu An's gaze fell on Wang Fulong, and he asked, "Manager Wang, when are you going to Dongqing City to sign the contract?"
"Tomorrow, I'll prepare a few more bidding documents for Dongqing City today, and bring them over tomorrow to see if we can win them," Wang Fulong replied.
"Tomorrow," Xu An said after a couple of seconds of contemplation, "Okay, I understand. I wish you all the best!"
After saying that, Xu An took the lemon tea and returned to his office.
