Chapter 126 - Chapter 126 - 126: The Rules of the Shop (2/2)

“If I had known, why would I bother buying milk tea? Those celebrities are just using milk tea as a pretext to make money. Look at young boss Chen, offering such delicious things for free.”

…

The delivery guys’ praises quickly attracted the nearby customers.

After most people tasted the secret soy milk blend, they immediately discarded their milk teas aside.

In fact, calculating the cost, the average expense for each big pot of the nine kinds of free beverages was only about ten yuan.

Even if each kind of beverage was served in five shifts per day, the cost was just over five hundred yuan.

Compared to the daily net profit of over a million, it was literally insignificant.

Moreover, Chen Yu had entered these nine kinds of free beverages into the delivery system.

Consumers could choose the amount of beverages according to the number of people dining, which was also a benefit offered by Chen Yu.

At noon, an old man in his sixties hobbled into the shop with a cane.

He walked to the display window with an air of authority and knocked on it casually.

“Boss, just give me a few of your specialty dishes,” he said.

At the sound of his voice, Ning Kai and Li Gang were momentarily startled.

“Mr. Han!”

The two called out almost in unison and then prepared to go out and greet him.

But Chen Yu stopped them.

“Old gentleman, please go over to the ordering area to place your order, then join the queue here. These are the rules of our shop.”

Han Dongli’s eyes bulged in disbelief: “Take a good look, I am a gourmet critic, and my final opinion can directly determine the fate of this establishment.”

“Who you are doesn’t concern me; here, you are just another diner, and you must follow the rules of this place!”

Han Dongli didn’t expect Chen Yu to show him such little respect and immediately felt indignant.

However, seeing the popularity of the shop, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

This establishment was long famous and had even been featured in Suzhou City’s media more than once.

Today, no matter what, he had to taste for himself what made this place so exceptional.

Taking a deep breath, Han Dongli headed towards the ordering area.

But as he passed the free offering section, he was instantly captivated by the aroma wafting from the nine big pots.

Leaning in to sniff, Han Dongli was even more startled.

“Licorice, bamboo shavings, lotus leaves, lotus seeds…”

He rattled off the names of several ingredients, saliva already flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Eager, he picked up a disposable plastic bowl and helped himself to some black rice and adzuki bean porridge.

“Black rice, adzuki beans, the ratio of water was nearly perfect, and the combined effect of the medicines is to dispel dampness and chill! My God, such a thing is offered for free.”

Exclaiming in amazement, he took another disposable bowl and served himself some chilled secret soy milk blend.

“Chilled and refreshing, with a strong fruit flavor, but isn’t this milk too rich? Such cost… No, soybeans! My God, what kind of method was used? The soybean taste is completely hidden; even I almost couldn’t detect it.”

Overwhelmed with excitement, he took another disposable bowl, wanting to get some mung bean slush.

“Hey, what’s the matter with you, old man? Kind boss Chen offers us these free beverages, and look at you—having a bit to drink, wasting a bowl. Disposable bowls are still bowls, aren’t they free?”

A scolding voice startled Han Dongli, and then dozens of delivery guys swarmed around him.

From their looks, they seemed ready to tear Han Dongli to pieces.
