After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 158 Milk Tea Shop

"Yes, I will do it now!"

Seeing that the others had left, Yu Tingwan looked at Shen Chenli, as if he had something to say.

Shen Chenli's originally indifferent expression changed instantly, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face.

"Wanwan wants to ask, the King of Dongping is supposed to be my uncle, why should I do this?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Tingwan shook his head.

"I know that no matter who the other party is, you will always put Da Sheng first."

So she was not surprised that he treated his uncle like this.

"But I'm just curious, what is your uncle going to do?"

"I don't know. I have never been to Dongqi, and I only have a brief understanding of what happened to my mother in Dongqi. This uncle... seems to have something strange with my mother. I am not sure what he is going to do in Dasheng this time."

Yu Tingwan thought about it and now knew that the person coming from Dongqi was the King of Dongping, and the person coming from Xiyan was the Third Prince. What about the other two countries?

"If my guess is correct, Beidi may send a princess to marry this time, after all, they just lost the war. As for Nanliang... the people there are the best at poisoning. I don't know who will come to Dasheng, so I must be careful of their shady tricks every night."

Poison?

Thinking of the poison in his body before, Yu Tingwan said:

"You said your poison came from a poison doctor. Could there be any connection between them?"

Shen Chenli nodded slightly.

“Southern Liang may seem like they haven’t made any moves, but they are actually the most ambitious. They are different from other countries in that they are not an imperial state. Instead, they are all ruled by tribal chiefs and the saints are respected.

The people of Nanliang all play with poisons, and if you are not careful, you will easily fall into their trap. The leader of the Poison Doctor Sect is a disciple who once defected from the Divine Doctor Valley. He is originally from Nanliang and is very good at using poisons. Later, he learned the medical skills of the Divine Doctor Valley and established his own Poison Doctor Sect. "

After hearing about these martial arts sects and the surrounding countries, Yu Tingwan had a basic understanding of this tribute.

However, apart from dealing with them, there shouldn't be anything else for them to do. Yu Tingwan just wanted to take this opportunity to quickly open the milk tea shop.

The previous shops have been cleaned up, and Yu Tingwan also asked Shen Chenli to find useful retired soldiers to make ice and other things, so there is no need to worry about betrayal.

However, within a few days, when the hot summer officially arrived, several water shops suddenly opened throughout the capital.

No, that’s not an ordinary water shop, that’s what it’s called.

"Xue Mi Milk Tea Shop?"

What is this?

A crowd of people instantly gathered in front of the shop, and everyone stretched their heads forward to look, wanting to see what this milk tea shop was.

Milk is milk, tea is tea, what is milk tea?

"What does the phrase 'No. 1 Headquarters in Beijing' written on the corner of this plaque mean?"

While the crowd was wondering, a person squeezed in from the outside of the crowd.

"I just checked other places. There's a shop on Central Street near the city gate that says 'Second Store in Beijing'. There are several Snow Honey Milk Tea Shops that have opened in the entire city. They've all been numbered. This is the main store!"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that this was the case!

"But who opened these, and why are there so many?"

Who opens a store like this? There are several in Beijing alone. How can they make money?

As everyone was discussing enthusiastically, the door of the shop opened, revealing the inside. Everyone became even more curious. Why did the shop look so strange?

A man walked out of the Xue Mi Milk Tea Shop, looked at the people gathered around him, asked other employees behind him to put up a sign at the door, and then said:

"Everyone, welcome to the Xue Mi Milk Tea Shop. Although our shop may not look big, the things inside are definitely things you have never seen or drunk before. I guarantee that everyone will like it!"

The shopkeeper didn't say much, he just made way for everyone and let them in.

"Welcome to Xuemi Milk Tea Shop. Whether it is a hot summer or a cold winter, there is always a tea that suits you."

After the welcome speech, everyone looked at what was written on the wall of the shop, and those who could read began to read.

"Milk tea series: real pearl milk tea, 10 wen per cup, 12 wen per large bucket; coconut milk tea, 10 wen per cup; taro milk tea, 50 wen per cup, 60 wen per large bucket; iced milk cap, 100 wen per cup... both hot and cold options available."

"Flower tea series: Jasmine tea, six cents a cup; Rose tea, ten cents a cup; Roselle tea, fifteen cents a cup... Available in hot or cold."

"Fruit tea series: lemonade, five cents a cup; berry coconut tea, fifty cents a cup; big barrel of Baba pearl fruit tea, one hundred cents a cup; ... cold."

"For less ice (five pieces), add two cents, for normal ice (ten pieces), add five cents, for more ice (twenty pieces), add eight cents."

"Takeaway bamboo tubes are normally 3 wen each, and large bamboo tubes are 5 wen each. You can use them directly later."

"What is all this?"

"Dear guests, these are the products in our store. The weather is hot now, you can come and try our lemonade and milk tea. In summer, you can choose whether to add ice, which is very refreshing. During the opening period, all products are buy one get one free."

"And this bamboo tube. If you want to take it with you and drink on the go, you can buy the bamboo tube. Next time you come, you can just use our bamboo tube. You don't have to buy bamboo tubes again!"

Anyone who can stay in Beijing basically has money. Even if they can’t afford a five-cent lemonade, they can still try it. The most important thing is that you can add ice for only one cent!

This is ice, which is something only the rich and powerful can enjoy in summer, and there are large quantities of it. But they actually saw ice being added to water in a shop outside. How is that possible!

"Waiter, is this true? Can you add ice? Do you mean ice cubes?"

The clerk nodded.

This time everyone was shocked.

Who owns this shop? Why is he so wealthy?

Look at what is written on the sign. The cheapest one is only two or three cents more than the tea in the teahouse. People in the capital city can afford it!

"Give me a glass of that lemonade, with less ice!"

Someone couldn't help but order a glass with ice, while the rest of those who were eager to buy held back and waited to see the situation before deciding whether to buy or not.

The clerk was well-trained and asked with a smile: "Do you want to take out or drink in the store?"

The man hesitated for a moment and chose to drink in the store.

"Okay, this is your sign, please wait."

Then other shop assistants lifted a clean thick quilt nearby, and a cool breeze quickly swept over. The people surrounding the store rushed forward and crowded around the cool ice bucket.

"Wow, it feels so good, it's really ice, lots of it!"

"I feel that the heat is much less today!"

Everyone watched as the clerk took out a bamboo tube. The tube didn't look thin, but looked like a big bucket. They also saw a bigger bamboo tube next to it, which must have been used for the big bucket of milk tea.

The waiter scooped in half a shovel of square ice cubes, and everyone gathered around to count how many cubes there were.
