Free Web NovelChapter 145: Chapter 145: An Understanding Beyond Words
Su Mengyao and the others each took a cup. A bit skeptical, they took a small sip.
The moment the milk tea entered their mouths, they were pleasantly surprised by its unique flavor.
"This flavor is so unique!"
"The color is unique, the flavor is unique, but it’s completely addicting. Once you have a sip, you just want more."
"This reminds me of when I was a kid at my grandparents’ house! My childhood in the countryside was so much more interesting than in the city!"
Yun Zijin waited for them to recover a bit before speaking. "So? What do you think of our secret weapon?"
Hearing Yun Zijin’s words, a wild guess formed in Lu Yunfeng’s mind. ’It’s absurd, but it seems to be the only logical explanation.’
"So... that’s why you call it Wangyou Milk Tea?"
Drinking it allows people to recall their happiest, most carefree memories. It was a form of spiritual comfort.
"It’s something you have to experience for yourself."
Yun Zijin gave neither a definitive yes nor no, leaving it all to their imagination.
"Can I get another one? Don’t worry, I’ll pay!"
Lu Yunfeng looked up at Yun Zijin.
"Of course. Scan the code here. It’s 88 yuan per cup, but with our soft opening 20% discount, it’s just 70 yuan a cup."
That’s right, one cup of Wangyou Milk Tea was priced at 88 yuan. This was the price Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong had decided on after a long discussion.
The main reason was that the ingredients for Wangyou Milk Tea were much more expensive than those for regular milk tea. To make an *effective* Wangyou Milk Tea, they absolutely could not skimp on the raw materials.
Another reason was that, since it was the shop’s crowning jewel, it naturally needed a price to match!
Anyone who tried it once was sure to come back for a second.
"Give me two cups."
Lu Yunfeng scanned the code directly and promptly paid 140 yuan.
To him, this small amount of money wasn’t even enough for a single meal. If he wasn’t afraid he couldn’t drink that much, he would have bought even more.
"Me, me, me! Give me two... no, three cups! I’ll take them back for my parents and my brother to try."
With that, Su Mengyao took out her phone, scanned the code, and paid 210 yuan.
"Does anyone else want some? If so, I’ll make them all at once."
Today was the soft opening, which was why Yun Zijin was here. If they came tomorrow, they would only be able to get the version made by Qin Sitong.
"Yes, yes, yes! Give me two... no! Four cups! I’ll take them home for my family."
After Fu Yang and the others shouted their orders, they immediately used their phones to scan the code and pay.
"Alright! Find a place to sit and wait. This many cups will take a while."
With that, Yun Zijin skillfully began making the drinks.
Just then, two young women walked into the shop.
"Hey, this looks like a new shop! I wonder if it’s any good."
"Let’s try it. If it’s good, we’ll have another option for milk tea in the future."
"If it’s bad, we just won’t come back. It’s not like it’s a lot of money anyway."
For college students, it was probably the time in their lives when they had the most money and free time. The cost of a cup of milk tea really wasn’t a big deal.
"Hello, welcome! Today is our first day, a soft opening, so everything is 20% off! What can I get for you?"
While Yun Zijin was still busy making the Wangyou Milk Tea, Qin Sitong stepped forward to greet the customers.
"Everything is 20% off?"
Hearing there was a discount, the two young women’s eyes lit up.
"That’s right, 20% off everything."
Qin Sitong gave a firm, affirmative answer.
"Why is this Wangyou Milk Tea so expensive?"
The other drinks were all ten or twenty-something yuan per cup. Only the 88 yuan price tag next to the Wangyou Milk Tea stood out.
Even with a 20% discount, it was still 70 yuan.
"This is our shop’s signature milk tea. The ingredients are all carefully selected by us, so the price is a bit higher."
"However, it’s limited to 200 cups per day, and everyone who has tried it has really liked it."
"Do people really buy it? That’s the cost of two or three meals for us..."
The two young women felt like they were hearing things. ’Would anyone really buy milk tea this expensive?’
"They do. That’s what those customers over there are holding. They each bought more, and we’re making them now."
"You can take a look at what a freshly made Wangyou Milk Tea looks like in a bit and then decide if you want to buy one."
It wasn’t busy anyway, so Qin Sitong answered the two young women’s questions very patiently.
"Yeah, that’s right, we all bought more. There’s definitely a surprise after you drink it."
Hearing Qin Sitong mention them, Fu Yang chimed in supportively.
The two young women looked over to where Fu Yang and his friends were sitting. Seeing the group of handsome men and beautiful women, their eyes lit up again.
’I didn’t expect to get a bonus like this just from buying milk tea.’
"But 88 yuan for one cup is just too expensive..."
Although they could afford it, spending so much on a single cup of milk tea really stung.
"It’s an opening day special, so it’s just 70 yuan a cup today! The price goes back to normal in three days."
"Oh, and if you want to experience the surprise, it has to be one cup per person. If two people share a cup, the person who takes the second sip won’t get the surprise."
This was something Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong had discovered through experimentation. After all, the main selling point was a unique surprise for each person.
At that moment, Yun Zijin finished making the Wangyou Milk Tea. As she poured it into the cup, the transparent container revealed the drink’s unique, iridescent colors, immediately captivating the two young women’s eyes.
"Is that the Wangyou Milk Tea?"
"It really is special. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a milk tea whose color keeps changing!"
"But this color... is it really okay?"
The color was just too unique. Holding it and walking down the street, the number of heads you’d turn would be off the charts.
"Don’t worry, we just drank it ourselves. If there was a problem with it, we definitely wouldn’t be drinking it!"
Qin Sitong took out her own glass, which was still one-third full of Wangyou Milk Tea, from behind the counter. Because it was a glass cup, the colors looked even more distinct and eye-catching.
"Maybe... we should try it?"
One of the young women was swayed by what Qin Sitong said.
"But..."
The other was still hesitant. Seventy yuan for a cup of milk tea—she had never imagined she would be so "extravagant."
"Oh, come on! It’s not a bad thing to treat yourself once in a while! Miss, I’ll take one cup!"
One of the young women was convinced and took out her phone to scan and pay the 70 yuan.
The other young woman hesitated for a long while but was finally persuaded by her friend.
’She’s right,’ she thought. ’It’s no big deal to treat myself occasionally. It’s not like losing 70 yuan means I won’t have money for food.’
Having sold two more cups of Wangyou Milk Tea, Yun Zijin was in a good mood. This time, however, Qin Sitong was the one making them.
Yun Zijin had made so many in a row that she didn’t want to move anymore.
"Milk tea tastes best when it’s fresh, so we’re going to head out."
"If you need any help, just give me a call anytime!"
As soon as Lu Yunfeng got his new Wangyou Milk Tea, he left in a hurry.
Sheng Yang and the others had the same idea. They all said goodbye to Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong and left the shop, carrying their Wangyou Milk Tea.
"You know them!"
The two young women had just decided to buy the Wangyou Milk Tea when they saw Lu Yunfeng and his friends say goodbye to Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong. It was only then they realized they all knew each other.
’Wait, why do I suddenly feel like I’ve been tricked?’
