Chapter 108 Pearl Milk Tea
Mrs. Huang arrived early. Seeing this, she hurriedly asked, "Where are the people? Why aren't they there? Hurry up and light the cannon."
"Hey, here it comes!"
Xu Qingmeng was in the kitchen, directing and dispatching several people. She didn't need to worry about the drinks, but only about the snack shop. She had to figure out who was helping, who was serving snacks, and who was making snacks. Everything was in order, so the kitchen was in perfect order at this moment.
After a while, crackling sounds were heard outside, followed by a burst of noisy cheers not long after.
Xu Qing dreamed of a stove full of dim sum, put it in a basket, and handed it to Xin Ting: "This plate can be taken out now."
Xinting took it swiftly, then walked out carrying the basket.
Here, Xu Qing's dream was almost over. After giving some instructions about the kitchen, he had some free time to go out and take a look. Gu Yunyi followed behind worriedly, asking him from time to time if he was in any trouble.
Xu Qingmeng was helpless, but since he was concerned about her after all, she didn't say anything, and then signaled to him that she was fine.
The area in front of Jinxiuxuan was covered with scattered red firecracker debris, as if a gorgeous red carpet had been laid on the ground.
Two agile and well-coordinated lions were dancing to their heart's content. Next to them was a middle-aged man beating a gong with a look of joy on his face. The atmosphere was extremely lively, attracting many people to come and watch, and the entrance was packed with people.
When Mrs. Huang saw Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi coming out, she smiled and asked, "How do you feel? Is it much more lively than over there?"
Xu Qingmeng followed Madam Huang's gaze and glanced at the 'Suxiang Pavilion' opposite.
The shop that was bustling with people two days ago is now deserted.
The shopkeeper with a goatee was standing at the door with a gloomy face, looking over here from time to time. His depression was beyond words, and he was afraid that others didn't know how he felt at the moment.
She took a look and felt that this person was not the good Xiangyu, and couldn't help asking: "Is everything okay?"
"With me here, what can happen? We are not afraid of him as long as we act openly. But if he dares to do something wrong, huh! The officers in the yamen are not vegetarians. How dare he do anything rash!" Mrs. Huang snorted coldly.
Xu Qingmeng nodded and said, "So, to have a strong partner, you need to have the confidence. This is the advantage. No matter what, Madam Huang is the wife of the county magistrate of Yan County, and Madam Huang's maternal family is not to be underestimated in Yan County."
After the lion dance ended, she returned to the kitchen and asked Gu Yunyi to watch in the front hall to avoid any accidents.
Gu Yunyi was worried about her and wanted to follow her to the kitchen. Xu Qingmeng was helpless again: "You can't help in the kitchen, so I feel relieved if you watch in the front hall."
Gu Yunyi couldn't persuade her, so he had to watch in the front hall.
Jinxiuxuan welcomed wave after wave of customers. Mrs. Huang was sitting in a private room at this time, drinking drinks, eating cakes and chatting with the other female family members.
"What kind of drink is this? It's really delicious."
"Pearl milk tea, this is the signature of the store."
"This name is quite novel, pearl milk tea, where are the pearls?" Mrs. Chen asked curiously, while carefully looking at the drink in the cup.
"Look, these little black balls at the bottom are pearls." Mrs. Huang explained with a smile, "They are made of cassava flour. After cooking, they are soft, chewy and have a very good taste."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I'd like to try it." Mrs. Chen scooped up a pearl with a spoon, put it in her mouth, and took a bite. "Hmm, not bad. It's just as Mrs. Huang said. It's soft, chewy, and has a light aroma of tea and milk. It's delicious."
"I like this white peach milk tea. It has a light fruity aroma and rich milk. It's very good."
“I like this fruit tea.”
Everyone shared their love for the cakes and drinks, and there was constant laughter in the box.
Those who have tried the food here before all know Jinxiu Xuan. It tastes good and is of high quality. Although they were a little shocked when they saw the prices, they were mentally prepared. In addition, there are some preferential policies for the opening that Xu Qingmeng customized.
Xu Qingmeng also implemented a membership system, which was a rather novel concept in Yan County.
You can become a basic member by recharging 50 taels, and you can enjoy a 9.5% discount on your purchases in the future. You will also receive exquisite gifts on your birthday and the privilege of purchasing new products first.
One hundred taels means you are a silver card member, and except for the 10% discount, everything else is the same.
Gold card members who spend more than 300 taels can enjoy an 85% discount and also receive an exquisite gift box every month, which includes all the above.
Those who spend more than 500 taels are VIP members. They can not only enjoy a 20% discount, but also receive an exclusive customized gift every month. On their birthdays, in addition to exquisite gifts, they can also have a birthday cake specially made by the store. They can also reserve a private room in advance. Of course, they also enjoy the privileges of the above members.
Of course, the money recharged in it can still be used to buy things, so there is no loss, it is just spent in advance.
After this membership system was launched, it attracted the attention of many customers, so there was not much backlash regarding the price, and everyone even bought a lot.
Of course, those who are not short of money will be even happier. After becoming a member of Jinxiu Xuan, they feel that their status has been improved, and they feel very proud when they show their wealth to others.
The ladies in the box were not short of money, and had tasted the cakes and drinks at Jinxiuxuan, so they all became VIP members.
Of course, there were also some ordinary customers who were attracted by the lion dance and firecrackers, but when they saw the price, they turned around and wanted to leave.
In order to prevent this situation, tastings are still provided today, but the portions are smaller than before. However, there is no limit on the number of pieces, so you can try them all if you want.
Some people just wanted to give it a try, while others thought it would be a waste not to try it since it doesn't cost any money anyway, and finally they all succumbed to the word "tasting".
Next, it was a natural thing for everyone to pay out of their own pockets to buy their favorite flavors, and those who were wealthy even became members.
In the end, the customer turnover rate was much lower than Xu Qingmeng had imagined, and Mrs. Huang's eyes narrowed into slits due to her smile.
The business was unexpectedly good. This East Street was truly a haunted place. In addition to the ladies and young ladies, there were also many wealthy people. Xu Qingmeng and his friends had planned to sell cakes for a whole morning, but they were sold out in two hours.
The two girls were so busy making drinks, one after another, that they never had a moment to rest.
