Kapitel 132: Popularity
After preparing all the ingredients, Qibao asked Cuizhu to make a smoothie. Although the movements were a bit unskilled, the taste was pretty good.
Qibao asked the shopkeeper to take out a piece of paper and wrote on it: "Today's new product, fruit-flavored smoothie, fresh fruit ice cold, refreshing in summer, a moment of relaxation, creating a delicious cold drink in summer for you, welcome new and old customers to come and taste it."
After finishing writing, Qibao blew on the ink and asked the shopkeeper to post it at the door.
Shopkeeper Zhang asked: "Master, what price do you plan to sell it for?"
Qibao said: "Just sell it for a hundred cents a bowl." The bowl Qibao prepared was not very big, and the price was too high, and many people were unwilling to pay for it.
Shopkeeper Zhang said: "Let me tell you, ice cubes are a luxury item in summer. Even if I sell them for a hundred cents, I think it's a bit too little."
Qibao said: "Huamen Town is just a small town to begin with, and more of it is just ordinary people. Anyway, for us, we don't have much capital, but we can still make money."
"Yes, I understand."
When it was almost time to eat, shopkeeper Zhang asked the waiter to put the prepared ice basins on the table. Each basin was filled with cold air, and the whole hall also became cooler.
The advertisement posted outside the door also attracted many people to watch.
Shopkeeper Zhang quickly walked to the door. Before he could speak, a customer who knew him asked: "Shopkeeper Zhang, what is your new smoothie? Why have I never heard of it?"
Shopkeeper Zhang explained with a smile: "This smoothie is a new dessert we have developed today. It is made with ice cubes, and topped with our homemade jam. Take one bite, tsk tsk, not to mention it is sour to relieve the heat. The sweet and sour taste is very appetizing. It's so refreshing to eat barbecue and smoothies at the same time."
"Oh? There is also such food. I thought it would be great to have an ice basin in your store to relieve the heat. I didn't expect that your store can also make food with ice. So I want to give it a try today."
"Okay, please come in quickly. We have already set up the ice basin." Shopkeeper Zhang invited the guests into the store.
As soon as he walked in, he could feel the cold air blowing against his face. A middle-aged man said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, it's cooler here. I've been coming to your store to eat barbecue every day for the past two days, and I don't want to go home."
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said: "Then you can come here often to relieve yourself from the heat, but you have to go home. If your wife comes to visit, I won't be responsible!"
"Hahaha..."
These people have all eaten at the barbecue restaurant. Shopkeeper Zhang also knows them all, and they occasionally chat with them.
The man who just spoke said again: "Shopkeeper Zhang, didn't you say there is fruit smoothie? Give me one to try."
"Okay, we have three kinds of fruit-flavored smoothies in the store, blueberry, strawberry, and grape. Which one do you want to try?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked.
"There are three kinds? I only know that grapes are fruits, but what kind of fruits are blueberries and strawberries? I really don't know!"
Shopkeeper Zhang said: "These two fruits are very delicious. You will know when you try them later."
"I don't know how much a portion costs? I want to buy one to try."
"It's not expensive, a hundred cents a bowl."
The man thought that ice was not very expensive in the summer for only one hundred cents, so he said: "Then let's have a blueberry flavor."
"Okay, please sit down and wait. It will be delivered to you in a moment." Shopkeeper Zhang said.
Cuizhu also heard it and started to do it without saying anything.
Soon a blueberry-flavored smoothie was ready, and shopkeeper Zhang personally served it to the man.
The blue-purple jam is poured on the thin ice and dotted with a few pieces of fruit pulp, which looks very appetizing.
The man took the smoothie, and it felt cool and comfortable in his hands. He swallowed, took a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The rich jam was wrapped in crushed ice and put into the air. It tasted good.
The man just started eating spoonful by spoonful, while the people watching beside him swallowed their saliva.
"Whatever, I'll get one to try."
"I want to eat too, give me a blueberry flavor too."
"I want strawberry flavor."
......
For a time, the smoothie counter was crowded with people, and Cuizhu was busy running around. Fortunately, shopkeeper Zhang was standing by and said: "Everyone, please find a seat and sit down. A waiter will order for you. Absolutely everyone can eat."
Only then did the crowd find a table to sit down, and the waiters helped the customers to order dishes with a wink, and the store became very lively for a while.
At this time, three people walked in. Mr. Qian came in with Mrs. Qian and their youngest son.
Shopkeeper Zhang immediately greeted: "Master Qian and Mrs. Qian are here? Come and sit inside."
"I saw the paper posted on the door of your store outside saying that there are new products, and they are made with ice, so I came in to try them." After saying that, he saw the old man and Qibao standing by the counter, and quickly greets them: "I didn't expect you to come today, old man!"
The old man smiled and said: "I definitely want to come and take a look at the new products in our store." After saying that, he saw the little boy in Mrs. Qian's arms and said: "Is this your little son? He looks really good."
Mr. Qian smiled and said: "Yes, it's cool in your store, so I brought my wife and children here to escape the heat. I also wanted to eat barbecue. I just happened to arrive at your store to release new products, so I want to have a taste."
The old man said: "Okay, there are a lot of people in the store. You guys should find a seat and sit down first. I will give two bowls of this fruit smoothie to Mrs. Qian and the children to try."
Mr. Qian said: "Hey! How can that be done? You can't lose money in this business, and it's not expensive. Don't be so polite, old man."
The old man said: "Just this once, next time you come to eat you'll have to pay for it, and consider it a token of my appreciation for meeting your son for the first time."
Mr. Qian had no choice but to agree, and Mrs. Qian also expressed her gratitude to the old man. The family of three found a seat and sat down under the arrangement of the waiter.
Seeing that the fruit smoothie was so popular, some people felt that one bowl was not satisfying enough and ordered a second bowl with different flavors. The old man looked at it with a smile, but felt that he could not help, so he planned to go back first. Tell the rest of the family the news.
Qibao went to explain a few words to Cuizhu again, letting her live in the barbecue restaurant with peace of mind, and asking shopkeeper Zhang to send someone to buy any daily necessities she needed.
However, Qibao is not in a hurry to go home, let Kui Wu wait for them to return back here first. She and her grandfather went to the yard in the town, and took a horse out from the space, which is one of the three horses collected in Daqing Mountain, and it has already been taken by Xiaoling properly, and it is also extraordinarily spiritual.
The old man said: "Is this the horse that was recovered in Daqingshan? It looks really handsome, and it doesn't look like a wild horse at all."
Qibao said: "Yes, Grandpa, our family will have two carriages in the future."
The grandfather and granddaughter went back to the place in town that specialized in selling horse-drawn carriages, and chose a carriage with a large space and a hidden compartment, and letting the owner install the carriage before the two of them went to meet up with Kui Wu.
Kui Wu saw that his master had brought back another carriage. The horse seemed to be a good one at first glance. He thought that his master was quite discerning in buying horses. This horse was better than the horses he had seen when he delivered goods.
Only then did the three of them go back to the Xujia Village together, and this horse also kept following behind the carriage driven by Kui Wu and did not run around.
Qibao thought that Xiaoling could be really powerful, this horse obviously already knew that she was its master and would obediently follow her without being led.
