Chapter 48 - 48 Drink! Why Don't You Drink!
48 Drink! Why Don’t You Drink!
After the share transfer contract was drafted, Ai Tingya brought it back at night and asked Dean Du to sign it. Luo Feng waited until 11 o’clock before the returns of one million yuan came.
Luo Feng gave the orphanage 50% of the shares. He actually wanted to give them 90% if he wasn’t afraid of scaring Dean Du. This way, 180,000 yuan of the 200,000 yuan rent would be used as an investment and the return would be 1.8 million yuan.
“It’s okay, there’s still a long way to go.” Luo Feng could only comfort himself in this way.
In the following days, he was busy contacting the renovation team to buy renovation materials.
The renovation team that Dean Du introduced was a local veteran. They were very surprised when they received the blueprint of the milk tea shop.
There was always a popular renovation style after all. Even though the businesses were different, the materials used and the shop style were similar. Luo Feng’s shop was unique, like a red flower in green grass.
The renovation cost was 100,000 yuan, and the return was 500,000 yuan!
Next, he bought the refrigerant heating equipment needed by the milk tea shop and customized a workbench. He spent 150,000 yuan and made a return of 750,000 yuan.
After Luo Feng arranged everything in the shop, he went to buy the ingredients for the drinks. He spent less than 30,000 yuan and made a return of 150,000 yuan.
Luo Feng had already earned a million yuan before the shop even opened for business.
He would not be able to make money as fast by opening a shop and doing business!
Why would Luo Feng only have so little money in his card If Ai Tingya hadn’t insisted on not spending Luo Feng’s money?
It was also a problem if his girlfriend’s character was too good.
The shop was bustling with activity. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were not idle either. They had to go to the busiest area during their break every week. Then, they would buy the most popular milk teas from various milk tea shops and return to the orphanage to try them one by one.
“Oh my god, I really can’t take another sip.” Ai Tingya patted her round stomach and lay on the chair aggrievedly. “I feel that the milk tea has already surged into my throat.”
“I can’t drink anymore either.” Xiao Fei, who was beside her, did the same.
She had never hated drinks as much as she did now.
Luo Feng looked at their appetites and said, “Then go out and digest it, let your other companions come in and drink.”
“We have to drink some more?” The two of them complained endlessly, their breaths carrying a hint of milk.
“Yes, we’ll drink what I made after we finish the ones I bought outside. Let’s see which three to use as the master attraction.” Luo Feng shook the cup in his hand.
He still had to match the market taste even though he had mastered the combination of countless types of milk teas. They did not have the power to influence people’s choice yet. Therefore, they could only be filtered through constant tasting.
“Most of the milk tea outside uses industrial milk essence. I’m really going to vomit from drinking it.” Ai Tingya pouted and held her stomach.
When Ai Tingya was young, she had fantasized about opening a cake shop at home. That way, she would have an endless supply of cakes. She no longer felt that her childhood dream was wonderful now that she suddenly had an endless supply of milk tea.
Luo Feng had no resistance to the coquettish Ai Tingya. He carried the empty cup in front of Ai Tingya away and said, “I told you to just have a taste, but you insisted that it was a waste not to finish it. Now, your stomach doesn’t feel good, right?”
“But it’s really a pity if we just throw them away.” Ai Tingya burped, but her thoughts did not waver. The orphanage did not allow wastage!
“Yes, yes, yes. Take a rest. I’ll let the others in.”
He put down the fruit tea he had just brewed and walked to the entrance. The children playing outside ran away as if they had seen a ghost.
As he ran, he shouted, “Hide quickly, big brother Luo Feng is going to catch another test subject!”
Why did he make himself look like Frankenstein?
“They ran away.” Luo Feng said helplessly.
“I’ll run too if I can move now.” Xiao Fei shook her weak hand.
Luo Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, “Am I that scary?”
He remembered that when he first brought the ingredients here, the children were surrounding him like bees. Not only did he have to concoct drinks, but he also had to prevent the children from drinking the ingredients secretly.
A box full of cream was used up by the kids to spread on their steamed buns in no time.
Moreover, the right to taste a drink had to go through a few rounds of rock, paper, scissors. Only the child who won in the end was qualified to have a drink.
It had only been a few days, but the children were so scared when they saw him now. So saddening.
“There’s nothing we can do about it.” Ai Tingya spoke about her feelings. “The milk tea you make is like the bright stars in the sky. We think it’s all very good, but you insist on us picking out the best ones. It’s too difficult for us.”
“You’re so sweet. I’ll reward you with a day of rest.” Luo Feng hugged Ai Tingya and kissed her cute hair.
Xiao Fei sat on the chair beside him and could not move. She was forced to watch the couple show off their love.
At this moment, Dean Du walked to the door. She was already used to Luo Feng being in the cafeteria.
“Little Luo, are you making drinks again?” Dean Du leaned over curiously. The dazzling array of materials dazzled her. The sweet smell was very seductive, causing her to take two more sniffs.
Xiao Fei saw her actions and felt that something was wrong. She mouthed, “Dean! Run!”
Dean Du was too attracted by the raw materials and did not see them at all.
Luo Feng smiled and walked over, blocking Xiao Fei. He said to Dean Du, “Dean, why don’t you sit down and try the milk tea?”
“Alright, I’ll try the young people’s food too.” Dean Du pulled out a stool and was very happy.
“It’s over…” Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei looked at her sympathetically.
Luo Feng liked proactive test subjects, no, tasters. He rolled up his sleeves and gave it another go. His movements were very fast. In just 10 minutes, more than 10 types of drinks were placed in front of Dean Du.
The milk tea was sweet, the fruit tea was fresh, and the roasted immortal herbs were filled with ingredients. It almost covered a few popular flavors on the market. When placed together, it was like a clear palette. The tender color was very pleasing.
Dean Du picked up a glass at the side and said expectantly, “Let me try this first.”
“This is Ice-Blended Soy Milk.”
“This is the Passion Fruit Chiller.”
“Morning Dew Matcha.”
“Versailles’ Cherries.”
“Fire Roasted Oolong.”
“And…”
“Enough, enough. I really can’t drink anymore.” Dean Du put down the blanket with difficulty. She could not swallow the fruit in her mouth and could not bear to throw it up. She was in a dilemma.
Luo Feng asked the usual question: “Which drink do you think is good?”
“They’re all delicious.” Dean Du said sincerely. Luo Feng’s milk tea had a unique taste and there was nothing wrong with it.
“This won’t do. You guys must have drunk too little to think that they’re all delicious.” Luo Feng pinched his chin and thought, “Drink more, choose three flavors to make the decision.”
Dean Du’s expression changed. Only then did she notice the sympathetic gazes of Xiao Fei and Ai Tingya.
Dean Du swallowed the fruit in her mouth with tears in her eyes seeing Luo Feng set up another row of milk tea.
