53 Teacher Yu Has Good Potential To Carry Goods
Luo Feng did not delay the matter with the milk tea shop while he continued his studies.
He wrote down all his thoughts and arrangements for the milk tea shop on paper. He even drew two renovation diagrams and handed them to Dean Du to help keep an eye on the shop.
The master of the renovation team was especially serious since someone was guarding it everyday. More importantly, Luo Feng paid very readily. Not only did he work hard to renovate the shop, but he also placed his order first for many custom-made furniture.
The renovation of the shop was completed in just a month. It was similar to Luo Feng’s rendering.
The ingredients for the cutlery to make milk tea had long been bought. Luo Feng had already used them to do several rounds of experiments. There were many children in the orphanage so they had a lot of hands. He moved the things to the shop after just two trips.
Luo Feng asked Dean Du to choose an auspicious day and prepare to open for business!
…
A very special shop appeared on Xueyou Street. The outer wall was replaced by huge glass, and one could see the neat furnishings in the shop at a glance. The black, white, and gray main colors were low-key and high-end, and the wooden furniture emitted a natural warmth.
One would be attracted by the exquisite renovation and could not help but admire it up close if they were passing by the opposite street. The nearby residents heard that there was a very unique milk tea shop and gathered around.
On the first day of opening, the milk tea shop was filled with people.
When Dean Du saw the lively scene, she was so happy that he could not close her mouth. She stood outside the shop to greet the customers and to protect the fresh flower opening stand.
Luo Feng and Ai Tingya also took time off to help.
“Director, be careful.”
There were too many people. A fat uncle accidentally bumped into Dean Du. Ai Tingya quickly went over to support her.
“Hahaha, I’m old and useless. Go in and help Lu Zhao,” Dean Du said with a smile.
Luo Feng had poached Lu Zhao from other milk tea shops. He just met her recently on his investigation of the market’s taste. Luo Feng sat in the shop for a few minutes and realized that Lu Zhao had managed the milk tea shop well. Hence, he offered a high price and asked her to come over.
Lu Zhao had good management skills. She divided the seven shop assistants into three groups. One group of two went to the street entrance to distribute flyers to attract customers. The other group was to greet the customers in the shop. The last group would make drinks. Everyone would guard their respective positions and was orderly amidst the work.
Among the seven shop assistants, four were waiters hired by Luo Feng. They were all fair and beautiful girls wearing custom-made black dresses and white aprons. They had the charm of maids, but they were not too bold.
The other three were children from the orphanage. The taste of milk tea was the core competitiveness of the shop, so Luo Feng only told insiders the recipe. They were slightly younger than Ai Tingya by two years and could earn some money in the shop.
Almost all the children in the orphanage at Xiao Fei’s age knew how to make the milk tea. For example, Xiao Fei was more willing to earn money than study. She also solved the problem of the milk tea shop.
“There are so many customers.” Dean Du was overjoyed. “Isn’t the 20% discount too much? If I had known, I would have given less.”
Luo Feng’s method of attracting customers was a discount. Facing a discount, even those who did not like drinks would enter and take a look.
Ai Tingya was also very happy. She was very confident in the taste of her shop’s milk tea.
Luo Feng was silent as he leaned against the door and watched the guests enter and leave.
The price could not be suppressed because the ingredients were expensive. A cup of milk tea in a normal milk tea shop was three yuan. The cheapest eight yuan in Good Me’s shop was 6.4 yuan even after a 20% discount. For a third-tier city, six yuan was more than enough to eat a bowl of noodles.
Most of the customers who entered the shop were curious. They wanted to go in and experience the milk tea shop that they had never seen before, but not many people actually bought it.
Luo Feng roughly estimated that only one out of six people would pay.
“Why do I feel that there are very few people buying milk tea?” Ai Tingya realized the same problem and realized that the price was too high.
“It’s alright, Tingya. It’s only the first day of business. It will take time for the guests to accept it. We can wait and see for a few more days.” Luo Feng’s mentality was as stable as an old dog.
He decided to give a discount for half a month to create demand. When customers got used to the life of milk tea, he would restore the original price. At that time, customers who were obsessed with milk tea would still be willing to pay.
In any case, Luo Feng would make money even if he made losses.
He did not panic at all.
“Oh my, you’re really here.”
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
Teacher Yu also took the time to come over and take a look at the new shop during her lunch break.
As soon as Dean Du saw Teacher Yu, she welcomed her warmly. “Teacher Yu, you’re really an honor to our shop. Please come in!”
“Dean Du, you’re welcome. Go ahead. I’ll follow Ai Tingya and the others,” Teacher Yu said with a smile.
The two of them had met a few times and were considered acquaintances. Dean Du gave Ai Tingya a few instructions before walking into the shop.
The milk tea shop’s business was booming. Teacher Yu smiled and said, “Congratulations, congratulations. It’s a good day to open.”
“It’s all thanks to the shop recommended by Teacher. The location is very good. Try it too,” Luo Feng said.
Teacher Yu hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Forget it, forget it. It’s easy for me to gain weight if I drink sweet food at my age. I even have acne. Don’t seduce me.”
She was not allowed to refuse the opening of the new shop. Luo Feng immediately became a professional salesperson and introduced, “You can choose the sweetness of the milk tea in our shop. If you don’t like milk tea, there’s also fruit tea. It’s all fresh fruit juice.”
Teacher Yu hesitated for a moment and swallowed. “Is it really that good?”
Luo Feng patted his chest and said, “The operation is transparent to the buyers. Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a drink.”
Teacher Yu walked in and said as she walked, “Forget it. I’ll buy a cup to add to your joy.”
Teacher Yu’s Difficult Choice Syndrome erupted like never before standing in front of the menu. Every milk tea was so cutely named and felt very delicious. The color of the milk tea was also very fresh and cute.
A few minutes later, Teacher Yu finally hesitated over the results of the window. “Then I’ll have this Oolong Peach. Not too sweet.”
“Is a peach oolong with 10% sugar okay?”
“Sure.”
The shop assistant’s answer was energetic. Teacher Yu felt like she had returned to her teenage years.
She was even more surprised when she received her anticipated milk tea. The light pink oolong tea had the fragrance of peaches. Teacher Yu took a sip and felt extremely stunned. She had never drunk such an adaptation of a fruit tea!
“It’s so delicious!” Teacher Yu praised repeatedly before she could swallow the peach in her mouth.
The other guests who were still watching were also moved by her emotions and came forward.
“Give me one too.”
“I have to choose the sugar level here? You’re so particular here.”
“There’s a reason why it’s expensive. Give me one of these.”
Teacher Yu’s enjoyment attracted many customers. Luo Feng suddenly understood why there would be food bloggers in the future. Someone who ate food deliciously could really stimulate others’ appetite.
He could also set up an internet celebrity company when he had the time in the future. He planned his future development direction and prepared to expand his business.
