Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

On November 11, the beginning of winter, the first Cha Samadhi opened and became an instant hit.

Ji Shumiao placed a billboard in a conspicuous place in the store with the slogan: Buy it, buy it! The first cup of milk tea in winter

Young people who are on the front line of Internet surfing discovered that the emoticon package they have been using for the past month is actually the mascot of a milk tea shop. Whenever they pass by, they have to buy a cup to try it. After taking a sip, they are so speechless - it is too delicious!

A curious customer asked the store clerk and found out that the milk tea in this store is made entirely of natural ingredients without any additives, and the production process can be seen through the glass wall. The store clerks are all wearing neat and clean work clothes, food masks, work hats, and food-grade gloves, cutting fresh fruits and pouring fresh pure milk and tea into the milk tea cups.

Many people thought of previous posts on the Internet about the dangers of non-dairy creamer, and began to drink it more recklessly.

At the same time, various funny jokes were also circulated in the QQ space of young people: Drink the first cup of milk tea in winter and pay copyright fees to Sanmei. Coupled with the emoticons of Sanmei with a smug expression and a threatening gun, the DNA of young people was in turmoil. Many people crossed half of Beijing to have a cup of milk tea. Some people from Tianjin came to Beijing specifically for a cup of milk tea to see how delicious it is.

Once you drink it, you'll be addicted.

Milk tea can actually be made this way, with cream, chopped nuts, and cream stirred into the milk tea. A cup of milk tea can have several flavors, and it's not choking! Pure natural ones are really different!

Occasionally, some people post something irritating: Am I the only one who thinks Cha San Mei tastes terrible?

This voice will soon be drowned out by the masses:

[Yes, yes, yes, it’s just you. You are the electricity, you are the light, you are the only joke. ]

[Wild boars cannot eat fine bran, so you should eat creamer mixed with flavorings! ]

[To be honest, the tea is really fine. Yesterday I brought a cup of pure tea to my grandfather. He said he didn't want to drink it, but after taking a sip he kept silent. He has been a tea lover for decades, and he told me that this tea was definitely brewed from this year's new tea.]

……

In the online public opinion, Ji Shumiao added fuel to the flames and amplified the influence of the remarks in favor of Cha Samadhi.

The average price of a cup of milk tea at Cha Sanmei is about 15 yuan, but the average customer spends nearly 50 yuan. Most people queue up for a long time, not wanting to just order one cup. Many people come in groups and buy more. Drinking Cha Sanmei has become a fashionable behavior among young people in Beijing this winter. If you don't know about it, you will definitely be called a "country bumpkin".

Cha Sammai did not offer any discounts upon its opening, and its daily sales exceeded RMB 50 within a week of opening, and it continues to grow steadily. Based on a gross profit margin of %, the store can be said to be making a fortune every day.

Ji Shumiao's eyes became red as he looked at the popular two-story shop in front of him - he really wanted to buy it, but unfortunately the landlord refused to sell it.

Anyone who can own such a big shop in a location like Beijing is not a fool who is short of money.

The floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire wall of the second floor provide excellent views and light. Many young girls take photos by the windows, while others line up to check in in front of Cha Sanmei's mural.

"Customize a few statues of Tea Sister Sanmei in various sizes and put them in the store for customers to take pictures." Ji Shumiao touched his chin and said ambitiously: "Make a bigger one, about three or four meters tall, and make it the brightest attraction on this street!"

This first store will not only serve as the headquarters, Ji Shumiao also wants it to become an insurmountable benchmark in the milk tea industry in the future!

Ji Shulang behind her: "...Yes."

After Ji Shumiao came back from her hometown in the southwest, she forced Ji Shulang to participate in the family's various businesses. After all, if he couldn't learn to lead a team, he would have to work until he died. The elders in the family also thought that it was right. Ji Shumiao, as a younger sister, was too arrogant. Not only could Ji Shulang not take on the responsibility, how could he sleep well?

So, Ji Shulang really became her de facto younger brother.

Ji Shumiao stood on tiptoe and patted Brother Lang on the shoulder: "Seeing that you have grown up, as the eldest brother, I am really pleased."

Ji Shulang held her face and ravaged it: "I gave you face, you are addicted, right? Huh?"

"Brother, I made a mistake..."

After inspecting the store, the brother and sister went home playing and fighting.

Today, my grandpa, dad, and uncle all came back from Hebei. The temperature dropped again, so grandma invited Uncle Tang and Aunt Lin to come to our house for hotpot to warm up.

Tang Zhilong and his wife came with bags and two bottles of good wine, and they insisted on inviting everyone to have a drink to celebrate: "I never thought the milk tea shop would be so successful. How come it's not worth having a drink?"

Ji Shumiao really wanted to drink several cups, but everyone gave her orange juice as a default.

Okay, Ji Shumiao picked up the orange juice and toasted with everyone.

Tang Zhilong was enthusiastic and spoke cheerfully: "I can only tell you the truth now. I really couldn't sleep for more than a month. The 300,000 yuan we invested was all the savings of my husband and I over the years. I know you have no shortage of money to open this milk tea company. You asked us to invest money to help us make money, but I really have no idea!"

"It's not that I don't trust you guys, it's that I really don't have the ambition, so I don't have the confidence." Tang Zhilong said with great emotion, and he punished himself with a glass of wine in high spirits. He raised the glass to Ji Shumiao and said, "Miaomiao, uncle has to thank you. If it weren't for you, uncle would really have been a mud leg for the rest of his life, and there would be no chance for him to turn over a new leaf. Come, uncle will toast you a glass!"

Ji Shumiao raised his orange juice and clinked glasses with him. After finishing the glass, Ji Shumiao poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm: "It won't be long before milk tea shops similar to Cha Sanmei pop up one after another."

Tang Zhilong was stunned: "Ah? What should I do then?"

"Spend money, open branches, and grab market share." Ji Shumiao narrowed his eyes and started calculating in his mind.

She had to use some of the gold bars in the bank, and it was time for her to meet that scumbag from a third-tier university.

Ji Shumiao was talking about the future development plan of Tea Samadhi and had no time to eat. Ji Shulang, who was sitting next to her, picked up some dishes for her from time to time.

Tonight, Qin Yun and Xie Cuilan prepared two flavors of hot pot soup bases, one is mutton soup made from mutton and mutton bones, and the other is a mellow and fragrant beef hot pot that suits the southwestern taste. Because there are many people in the evening, Qin Yun also made a pot of braised food.

Ji Shulang picked up a soft and tender braised chicken foot and put it into Ji Shumiao's bowl, but his grandmother stopped him: "Don't give her cold meat."

The braised chicken feet were completely cold, with the marinade mixed with fat solidified into brown crystals.

Upon hearing this, Ji Shulang dipped his fat in the beef lard pot. Ji Shumiao's spleen and stomach had improved a lot in the past month and he could eat spicy food now.

While Ji Shumiao was talking, he picked up the chicken feet from the bowl and took a bite, and his expression changed instantly.

Ji Shulang asked, "What's wrong? Is it spicy?"

"Mom, why don't you turn your snack bar into a hotpot restaurant?" Ji Shumiao said to Qin Rong.

Qin Rong: “Ah?”

Weren't we just talking about the milk tea shop? Why did we suddenly jump to another channel?

Ji Shulang was the first to react. He half-believed and half-doubtedly picked up a chicken claw. After tasting it, he said solemnly, "Aunt, I think it's OK."
