Chapter 109 Tea Milk
After drinking a glass of milk, Zhao Wenduo also knew the task he was assigned.

Will the milk not be sold?The moment I heard it, I couldn't help but have doubts.Immediately afterwards, I remembered that this was not decades later.People nowadays are not aware of this.I know this is a good thing, but I still can't do it if I have to keep it on hand every day.

Zhao Wenduo didn't bother with this problem at the moment, and started to search in his mind. What came out were all dairy products, such as milk flakes, milk powder, and cheese. time.

The problem is that all these products have complex processes, and some require corresponding mechanical equipment, which is not suitable for the current situation.

After thinking about it, she thought of a drink—milk tea.

Milk and tea, two typical representatives of Chinese and Western beverages, will produce an amazing taste when combined.

Best of all, it's not too complicated to make.As long as you master the tricks, ordinary people can operate it.

Now that you have thought of it, start to prepare.

For Zhao Wenduo, Cui Yuzhen is a fan of faith.Otherwise, no one would rush over and ask for help.No matter how difficult it is, you can find the third girl to solve it.Not only her, but also her natal family.

Her opinion must be agreed with with both hands and strongly supported.

Early the next morning, half a bucket of fresh milk was delivered.

There are not many things to prepare, the tea flavor and brown sugar that Zhao Mingyu brought back from the town street store are the only materials that need to be purchased.Sweet potato starch is readily available at home and can be used directly.

The whole process is not complicated, whether it is boiling tea, adding sugar and milk, or sugar water and starch, rubbing out pearl balls and cooling them, it is very simple and easy to use.Just need to pay attention to the ratio.

Based on his inexperience, Zhao Wenduo didn't cook much each time, and made notes according to the quantity put in. He repeated the operation and experimented six times, and finally got the result.

These six milk teas with different proportions were served separately, and there was an extra version with pearls, which was brought out for everyone to taste.

There are four judges, Zhao Mingyu, Li Cuizhen, Cui Yuzhen and Zhao Wennan, plus she makes a total of five people.There are not many people, but the coverage is quite wide. Men and women, middle and young children, except for the elderly, everything else is complete.

Zhao Wenduo put a spoon in the big bowl of milk tea, whoever wants to drink which kind, he will serve it separately, each has a cup in his hand.

"There are six kinds in total, and the tastes are different. The pearls in the middle can be put or not, depending on personal preference." The main thing is to test the taste of milk tea. The pearls are all the same, and there is no need to distinguish them.

During the cooking process, the aroma diffused into the room, and several people had been waiting for a long time, eager to taste it.

Cui Yuzhen randomly picked out a bowl and filled it with half a cup, swallowed it down, and couldn't help exclaiming: "It's great." She raised her thumbs up.

Li Cuizhen scooped up the bowl closest to her, first smelled it with her nose, and knew that it couldn't be worse just by the aroma.I licked it lightly with my tongue, and there was a faint sweetness, and then a fragrance came up: "Well, this tastes really good."

Zhao Wenyu is relatively careful, first looked around, and then chose the milk tea in the No. 6 bowl, took a sip slowly, the special aroma mixed with milk tea filled his taste buds in an instant, um——, his eyes lit up He said: "Is this really milk? It's so different." His knowledge of milk is limited to drinking it for a while when nourishing his body. The taste is not very good, and he doesn't particularly like it. , at least not bitter.

If you don't know in advance that the main ingredient is milk, the taste alone is really unexpected.

"Wow, it's delicious. I've never drank something so delicious." Compared with the three adults, Zhao Wennan's performance was extra direct and unrestrained.Holding the cup, she held it in her arms like a baby: "Sanjie, if you make more, it's not enough to drink."

"Don't worry, there are still so many, enough for you to drink." Zhao Wenduo patted her little head, turned to the three of them and said, "Don't just drink one type, drink all of them one by one, and pick out the number that you are most satisfied with. "

When she said this, the three of them became serious and tried everything, and finally even added pearls to the cup.

"Well, what is this - oh yes, Pearl, it's soft and delicious." Cui Yuzhen heard what Zhao Wenduo said earlier, and thought that today's protagonist is this drink called milk tea. Hei Yuanzi, who can add or not, is not too concerned. I tasted it all in the big bowl of No. 6, and I thought of adding two grains to try it when I saw it. It was very good to eat.

Children always have the courage to try new things. Zhao Wennan has already scooped up half a spoon, took the spoon and put it into his mouth: "...well, it's delicious——" The mouth is so small that it can't be opened, half a mouthful of milk tea flows down the corner of his mouth It overflowed, and after being noticed by her, she sucked it back.

He is not willing to waste anything, which indirectly shows how much he likes the thing in his mouth, which is extraordinary.

"Have you finished drinking? Which number is better?" Zhao Wenduo knew from the previous expressions of these people that these milk teas were very successful, the only difference was which one was better.

The six bowls were all delicious, but it was a bit difficult for them to taste the best one out of them. They cheered up and compared them again, and finally came to a conclusion.

"No. 6, I choose it." Cui Yuzhen was the first to express her opinion.

Followed by Li Cuizhen, she is wandering between No. 2 and No. 6, both of which are deeply in her heart, and it is very difficult to choose: "Both of them are delicious, one is lighter, the other is richer, it is almost the same. "

"I'll choose No. 2." Zhao Mingyu drank No. 6 first, and the rich aroma surprised him.But I would like to say that No. 2 is my favorite, and the lighter taste is more suitable for his taste.

Seeing everyone expressing their opinions, Zhao Wennan also raised her small hand: "Let me say, let me say, this bowl is the sweetest and the most delicious."

The little girl didn't look at the numbers, but only memorized the bowl, on which there were clearly pasted pieces of paper with a big '6' written on it.

It seems that No. 2 and No. 6 are half to half, a tie.

This also represents the taste of most people, which is lighter and more fragrant.It's really not comparable to the size, but it's easy to handle. The cooking time can be controlled by controlling the amount of milk, and it doesn't take much work.

"Since we've got the results, why not just take them out in the afternoon, we didn't leave the stall today, and brought them along with the sweet water to test the water and see how it goes." Li Cuizhen didn't go to the dam in the morning to try the milk tea. Come on, just wait and see the result.

Zhao Wenduo thought about it, but it’s okay. She made more than 200 pearls at once with the pot curtain, and half of the milk was left. After cooking, it can make about ten servings. It’s not too much, so take it out and try it. The water is just right.

"Then I'll go with you, help me, and check the market smoothly." Cui Yuzhen is more anxious now than anyone else, hoping to sell well, so that her mother's milk will find a market, and there is no need to worry about no buyers. up.

Zhao Mingyu also had no objection, got up and went out to dig well water.

The sweet water sold to the construction site these days is all from the well in the courtyard of the new house.The house was being renovated, and I was looking for a carpenter from Lincun, with two helpers, to build a kang, hang sheds, whitewash walls, run electricity, etc., and a series of jobs were all outsourced.

The well was drilled on the third day after the house was erected, and the few people who were dedicated to drilling the well worked for seven full days before it was tidied up.

For hand-pressed water wells, some water must be used as a primer to squeeze out the air in the pipe before the water can be pumped successfully.Leaving aside the shallowest part of the water, the water that presses up later carries the coldness of the ground floor.After blending, it was packed in a thin iron bucket and transported to the place, and a layer of water was soaked in the outside of the tin bucket.

Let the boiled milk tea cool down, put it in an aluminum bowl, put it in a large basin of freshly squeezed well water, and put it on ice for a while, then take it out, cover it with a square lid, and transport it away with the sweet water.

I just had lunch at noon, and it was time to rest.Workers gathered in pairs of threes and threes to talk about the mountains, play chess, and poker. The sheds and street stalls on the embankment also ushered in a wave of small purchases.

Li Cuizhen's sweet water is quite well-known here. It is mainly of high quality and low price, and there are a small number of repeat customers.

As soon as the stall was set up, someone wandered over.

"Why didn't the elder sister come over in the morning? We searched around but couldn't find it. We didn't have any sweet water to drink, so we went to buy some popsicles to eat. It was cool at the time, but the more we ate, the thirstier we became. It was so easy. Only insisted on eating at noon."

There is water supply in the canteen, but it is lukewarm under the sun, not tasty at all.How can this sweet well water cool my thirst.The key is that it is not expensive, the price of five cents is much more cost-effective than eating ice cream popsicles.

Li Cuizhen has always been patient with her loyal customers, and explained: "I have something to do at home this morning, so I didn't come here. No, I brought two extra water for you to try."

As he spoke, he took a small bowl, scooped a spoonful of milk tea, and offered it to the visitor: "Big brother, how about you drink and see this?"

The man was thirsty, just wanted to buy a cup of sweet water, and didn't want to be stuffed with a bowl in his hand, which was different from the red, green and green of sweet water, and the white was slightly brown: "This, what is this?" Never seen it before, Surprised and somewhat curious at the same time.

Cui Yuzhen took the conversation from the side, and explained: "This is called milk tea. It's made with milk. It's a good thing. It takes a long time to drink—" She just wanted to say that she would grow up after drinking it, but seeing the man's tall stature, and At the age of more than 30, these words were directly swallowed back, turned a corner, and became: "—drinking for a long time."

Workers who do physical work, this sentence is appropriate, it is much better than growing up.

"It's milk—" the man hesitated when he heard that, he drank that stuff as usual, but after finishing his work and just after eating, he felt sticky and not so refreshed after drinking it.

Li Cuizhen followed suit: "It's different from ordinary milk, you'll know when you try it. It doesn't cost money, it's free."

"Oh, that's right. That's what you said, no money is required." The man is a manual worker, although he receives the highest salary among manual workers, ten yuan a day.However, it's an advantage not to take advantage of the bastard.Of course it's good to give it for nothing.

The man didn't hesitate anymore, he picked up the cup and drank it in two or three gulps.

This way of drinking like a cow's drink makes people look straight.What Li Cuizhen cared about was his feedback, so she hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

The man clicked his tongue and said, "Well, yes, let's have another drink." He can't say too gorgeous words, but he just thinks this milky drink is delicious.This small cup is not enough to drink, and I want to have another cup.

Just this one action of his is more revealing than how many complimenting adjectives.

Cui Yuzhen clapped her hands secretly: It's done.She gave Li Cuizhen a wink, that's great, someone really drank it.

Li Cuizhen quickly filled a full cup, didn't say anything, just looked at the man with a smile on his face as he still dealt with it.

"Sister, how much is it?" The man heaved a sigh of relief after drinking, the fragrant and slippery water was really pleasant to drink.He doesn't think that this thing can be drunk casually.The first drink is free, but you will have to pay for another order.The seller's eldest sister can't speak directly, but it doesn't mean that he can pretend to be confused.He doesn't give money for drinking things, he is not that careless about people, and he can't do that shit.

Knowing that he knows what's in his heart, Li Cuizhen smiled and stretched out a finger: "A dime."

The man was taken aback, as if he didn't expect the drink with milk to be so cheap, only five cents more than sweet water, then he took out the money and took a picture of it on the table: "I'll drink it from now on." go back.

Cui Yuzhen went straight behind him and said, "Brother, go back and help with publicity, you can give me some money."

The man waved his hand without looking back, indicating that he understood.

The first response was good, and the two women were very happy, waiting for the next business order with great anticipation.

Because this is a small stall that is often set up, everyone knows that sweet water is sold here, and people in twos and threes come here.

The man went back just now, and the news of the milk tea hadn't spread yet, and these people who came here were all rushing for the sweet well water.

With the previous man's feedback as a foundation, Li Cuizhen was not in a hurry to sell it, and put the sample in one cup in front of the two buckets, and she could see it every time she filled the sweet water.

Some people are careless and just drink sweet water to quench their thirst, and don't pay attention to it.But those who are careful will ask the last sentence: "What is this, and there are small black balls in it?"

At this time, Li Cuizhen picked up the cup and explained to others: "This is a new drink that I made just now. It's called milk tea, and it contains pearls—"

Cui Yuzhen helped the side, repeating those two sentences: "I added milk, it's a good thing, it can strengthen the body and build strength."

"How much is this pearl tea?" Most of the people who asked were young people who were willing to try new things.

"one cent."

The price was negotiated by several people in advance. Nearly half of the finger-tipped ring glass is tea, and there is not much real milk. The total cost is about four or five cents, and it is almost the same as pasta. The profit of half and half is even higher.

In terms of cost, it is several times higher than sweet water with well water as the main ingredient, but in terms of benefits, it is [-]% more.All in all, of course, selling milk tea is more cost-effective.

The most important thing is that helping the Cui family solve the problem of unsalable milk is a benefit for both parties.Just look at how the sales are going.
