Chapter 133 I have to go see her
"Sister-in-law, I know this cup, but what is this reed used for?"
Li Mo felt that he was knowledgeable, but what Ye Xinran had come up with was really weird.
"A straw! For drinking water."
Ye Xinran put a reed into the cup and made a water absorbing motion.
"How can it be like this?" Li Mo was surprised.
"Ah."
Ye Xinran answered as a matter of course.
Soon, she taught everyone how to use the bamboo tube cup, and the prepared refreshing drink had already cooled down.
Ye Xinran instructed the shop assistant to fill twenty cups and place them on the table at the entrance.
"Cool drink, cool drink, a cool drink that clears away heat and relieves summer heat. A sip will make you feel refreshed, and a glass will leave you with an endless aftertaste.
Ten cents a cup, you won’t suffer a loss, ten cents a cup, you won’t be cheated, ten cents a cup, you will be relaxed and happy all day long! "
The waiter read out the advertising slogan written by Ye Xinran, and after reading it twice, he was already very proficient at it.
Passersby were actually attracted by the hawking sounds.
They all crowded at the door and asked, "Boss, what is this?"
"This is a refreshing drink specially made by our family. It can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and stimulate appetite. Would you like a cup?" The waiter greeted the guests warmly.
"Ten cents a cup? No, no, that's too expensive. The big bowl of tea at the intersection is only three cents a bowl!"
Passersby waved their hands.
"How can they be the same!" Li Qiao said immediately.
"The big bowl of tea contains tea leaves, but our cup contains medicinal herbs that can relieve summer heat and strengthen the body, and it is convenient to drink.
It's just a cup that you can hold and drink while walking.
If you're worried that it's inconvenient, it's okay. We've prepared reeds... no, straws. Just insert the straw into the hole on the lid and suck it out. The refreshing drink will be sucked out."
Everyone watching Li Qiao's demonstration was attracted by his straw.
"Can you still play like this?"
"Who came up with this?"
"I've seen bamboo and reeds before, but I didn't expect they could be used together like this."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll give it a try. It's only ten cents. Boss, give me a cup."
Curious people have already started paying.
When they got the refreshing drink in their hands, they were really stunned by its taste.
“It’s actually quite delicious!”
"What's the point of it being delicious? Sugar water is delicious. Ten cents is too expensive!"
"This isn't sugar water. It tastes similar to the Double Star Tea I drank before."
"Can it really be compared to Double Star Tea?"
"It's pretty much the same."
"Boss, give me one too."
……
For a while, many people paid for the refreshing drinks. Li Qiao was very happy, thinking that Yongletang had come up with another miracle medicine.
He also discussed with Ye Xinran to prepare more cups, but he didn't expect that two days later, fewer people came to buy refreshing drinks.
"In the beginning, there were many people just joining in the fun, but after a few days, the novelty wore off and not many people bought anymore."
Ye Xinran said.
"What should we do?" Li Qiao touched his head. "We have already explained the pharmacology of our refreshing drink to the people who came. They don't like to listen to it if we explain it too much."
Ye Xinran pondered for a moment, "Maybe the customer base is not right. Most pedestrians on the street are in a hurry. After drinking once, they may not drink it a second time. We can find a fixed group and let them experience the benefits of refreshing drinks. In this way, word of mouth can spread."
"Who is it?" Li Qiao asked.
It's not for curing diseases, so who can drink the same thing every day?
"Go try it at the entrance of Qingshan Academy!"
Ye Xinran suggested.
Li Qiao suddenly understood the idea after hearing this suggestion.
"Yes, those students are in the academy every day. Even if they go out, they won't go too far. Besides, they have money in their hands, so their business should not be difficult to do."
He did what he said. At noon, Li Qiao personally led people to the entrance of the academy to sell refreshing drinks.
As the owner of a medical clinic, he could have avoided doing these things.
But after so many years of practicing medicine, he still feels that the current business is exciting enough, and this new exploration is really interesting.
The actual situation did not disappoint him.
During the lunch break, students came out for a stroll in groups of three or four. If one of them bought something, the others would follow suit.
The thirty cool drinks we brought were quickly sold out.
In the end, there were still five people who hadn't gotten the drink, so they agreed to have it delivered the next day.
“They all praise you!”
After Li Qiao finished talking about the sales situation, he spoke to Ye Xinran.
"What do you praise me for?"
"Those students all said that someone who could come up with such a clever idea must be a very smart person."
"Thank you for the compliment." Ye Xinran smiled.
"No, not at all. I think they don't praise her enough. Madam Ye is not only smart, but also has great medical skills and is good at business. She is really incomparable to ordinary people."
"Does your boss know that you are such a flatterer?" Ye Xinran looked at Li Qiao, "Go and prepare the herbs for tomorrow's refreshing drink."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Li Qiao happily went to make arrangements immediately.
Ye Xinran was not being polite, and these things were not something she had come up with out of thin air. She just borrowed some of them after having seen the prosperity of later generations.
The recipe for this refreshing drink was given to Yongletang by Ye Xinran, because the Xueyan Cream made a lot of money, and this recipe could be considered an extra dividend.
As for the cups and reed stems, Ye Xinran asked the village head to have the villagers make them.
Li Mo paid two cents for a bamboo cup and a straw.
The things were easy to get and not difficult to process, so the village head was very happy.
It was not a festival or a holiday, but Ye Xinran suddenly found such a job for the villagers. It was really a happy event for them.
It does not interfere with work in the fields and can also supplement family income. It would be even better if the quantity was a little more.
Everything is going according to plan.
Everything is going in the right direction.
Back in the capital, Leng Qingyu finally received a letter from his sister.
She read the letter from beginning to end, and after finishing it, she took a closer look at the signature on the letter.
After checking the handwriting, she finally believed that the letter was indeed written by her sister Leng Qingxin.
Mrs. Leng was a little dazed: Is her sister's health getting worse? Otherwise, why would she have such hallucinations?
I have raised my own two children since they were young, so how could there be another daughter in Yuntong County?
But the beginning of the letter clearly stated that her health was getting better and better.
Are there really people in the world who look so similar?
Mrs. Leng read the letter again.
After reading it, her fingers suddenly began to tremble.
The letter said that Changqing hoped that the girl would always be with him.
From childhood to adulthood, Changqing has never expressed this kind of closeness to others.
Even his sister never had one.
"I have to go see that girl."
Mrs. Leng thought.
