The two couples in the shop didn't sit for too long. About an hour after Zhang Zhe arrived, they left the milk tea shop one after another.
Gong Hongxiu was a hardworking person. Even when the boss was not around, she still managed the store in an orderly manner.
When he had nothing to do in the morning, he cleaned the shop and mopped the floor. There was not much to clean up.
Soon, the shop was tidied up. After changing the sign at the door to closed, Gong Hongxiu said to Zhang Zhe,
"Boss, I'll go to the side to print the recruitment advertisement."”
"Alright, go ahead."
After the recruitment advertisement was pasted at the door, Zhang Zhe called Gong Hongxiu over and asked,
"Hongxiu, how did we make the milk tea in our shop?"”
"It's just using milk tea powder, then adding some syrup to increase the sweetness. Just mix it according to the ratio, and then add pearls..." Gong Hongxiu replied.
"Milk tea powder?"
"
Don't you need tea leaves or something?" asked Zhang Zhe.”
"There are tea leaves, but that is a little troublesome. Moreover, the cost will also increase…"
After listening to Gong Hongxiu's explanation, Zhang Zhe had a general understanding of how to make milk tea.
After all, he didn't really like drinking milk tea in the past. He didn't have much research on milk tea, so he definitely didn't know how to make it.
For example, the milk tea made in this shop was directly mixed with milk tea powder. It was mixed with milk tea powder and purified water according to the ratio, and then added with some syrup to increase the sweetness.
There were also some that were brewed with boiled black tea and creamer. This way, it had the fragrance of tea leaves and the mellow fragrance of milk, so the taste would be better.
Tea leaves were fine. Some cheap black tea was not very expensive, and the price of creamer was not expensive. This way, the cost was lower. If milk powder was used, the cost would increase.
Anyway, they all had a milky taste. There was no difference in taste, but it was much cheaper, so everyone also used creamer.
If the cost was reduced, the nutrition would naturally be reduced. After all, the milk powder content in the creamer was basically only about 10%.
The recipe in the game did indeed use tea leaves and milk, so the cost would probably be higher. However, the exact cost would only be known after trying it out.
"Where did we get the raw materials for milk tea in the past? Ask them if they have tea leaves and pure milk for milk tea.”
"Okay, boss. I'll call them now.”
There were many milk tea shops, so there were many raw materials suppliers for the milk tea shops. The competition was not small either. Basically, after they had pulled in customers, they would deliver the goods to their doorsteps, saving Gong Hongxiu the trouble.
At around three o'clock, tea leaves and pure milk were delivered. There were already some in the sugar store. After everything was ready, Zhang Zhe asked,
"Did you understand the formula I gave you just now?" He tried to make a few cups of milk tea according to the order written on it.”
"Okay, boss, I'll try.”
Gong Hongxiu immediately replied. She picked up the formula that Zhang Zhe had just handed her and looked at it again before starting to experiment.
Compared to adding milk tea powder and directly rinsing it with hot water, the current formula was much more troublesome.
Gong Hongxiu first boiled the tea leaves. After stewing them for a few minutes, she added milk and stirred them for a second heating. It took ten minutes for them to be ready.
The next step was to add water, but the temperature of the milk tea was too high. Gong Hongxiu put some ice cubes in to cool it down and finally handed the finished product to Zhang Zhe.
The milk tea was finally ready. Zhang Zhe immediately opened it and tasted it. He realized that it was indeed as he had expected. The taste was a little amazing!
Compared to the taste of the milk tea powder, it was at least several levels higher!
"Boss, how does it taste?”Gong Hongxiu asked expectantly.
"It's very good. Have a taste of it too, Hong Xiu. If you can, we'll sell this milk tea in the future.”Zhang Zhe replied with a smile.
"Then I'll try it too."
Gong Hongxiu also picked up a cup and took a sip. She couldn't help but squint her eyes. She took a few big gulps before saying excitedly,
"Wow, this is too delicious, isn't it?! Boss, if we sell this kind of milk tea, our business will definitely be much better than before!”
"Haha, I hope the business in the shop will be better. That's all for now.”
Zhang Zhe said,
"Get off work early today and buy some better tea leaves. These tea leaves that cost more than ten yuan per catty are still a little astringent. Also, change the cups. The current cups are a little too inferior."”
"Try it again after you buy it. Change the pearls to better ones. I'll get you some money later.”
"Yes, boss!"
"
Boss, are we still selling our milk tea for eight yuan per cup?" Gong Hongxiu asked hesitantly.”
Zhang Zhe didn't know the cost. She had been working in the store for a long time, so she was still very sensitive to this.
For example, the cup of milk tea that the two of them were drinking now was a 400ml cup. In it was 200ml of pure milk, as well as syrup, tea leaves, pearls, and the cup.
If it was like what Zhang Zhe said, the tea leaves and pearls were better, and the cups were upgraded, the cost of a cup of milk tea would be at least four or five yuan.
If he sold it for eight yuan per cup, he wouldn't make much profit. After all, he had to deduct rent, utility bills, wages, and other costs from the profit.
"Our milk tea is made with tea leaves and pure milk. We definitely won't sell it for eight yuan anymore. We'll talk about the exact price later.”
"
We won't be open for business tomorrow," Zhang Zhe said."You can continue to try out the formula in the shop and see if anyone comes to recruit."”
