Chapter 31 Selling Iced Tea

Mrs. Zhang's nanny heard what the young lady said, and she had to take orders to see if there were really ice drinks for sale.

She took Luzhu Ruyi to go out together, which was considered to be a chance for the two to redeem their sins.

"Damn girl, let me tell you, if you lie to Madam with nonsense, see if I won't tear your mouth open!" Zhang's nanny poked Lu Zhu's head, causing her to stagger so that she almost couldn't even walk steadily.

"Auntie, why should I lie to my wife? It's not because I think it's too long. I heard what Sun Changbai said."

Sun Changbai is the son of the housekeeper, Uncle Sun, who is in charge of the purchases of Zhang's mansion, and often goes to the streets to buy goods, and he is well-informed about the news in the town.

"What Changbai said? Nine out of ten are true, let's go and have a look."

The three of them hurried to the Tzu Chi Hall, but before they arrived, they saw a line of more than ten meters long at the door, and each person in the line held a piece of paper in his hand and looked up at the front of the line.

"Brother, let me ask, what are you doing?" Zhang's nanny pulled a big brother in the team and asked.

"What else can you do, wait in line to buy iced tea." He shook the note in his hand. "I just got number 67 early today."

"Why do you still need to get a number?" Ruyi murmured in a low voice. It was the first time she heard that she had to queue up to get a number when shopping. Isn't it enough to just pay the money.

"Is this your first time here? This iced tea is limited to one hundred cups per day. In order to prevent too many people from clogging up the traffic, they came up with this method." He was full of pride, as if he had come up with this method. "Take a number and line up. There are only 20 people in the line at a time. This will not hinder traffic, and it will be fair and just to ensure first-come, first-served."

The nanny of the Zhang family sneered. As Mrs. Zhang’s nanny, she has never heard of waiting in line when she goes to buy the things the young lady specified. Which store didn’t rush out to greet her when she came, and would like to welcome her to the warehouse to follow her. She picks.

She didn't pay any attention to this man who was spitting in excitement, and led Luzhu Ruyi to the front of the line. She had to quickly buy iced tea and go back to appetize the young lady.

Before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by someone. The person who stopped her was a young man with a dagger in his hand. He was handsome and heroic, but his face was expressionless and cold.

"Today's number has been issued, please be early tomorrow." The boy's voice was as calm as his expression.

"It's you?" Luzhu was taken aback when she saw the boy, who was Xiaoxun.

Luzhu was deeply impressed by him, she was ordered to entertain the distinguished guest brought back by the master before, and it was the young man in front of her.

At that time, he seemed to have injured his legs and feet, and he was fixed with a wooden board.Seeing that he was inconvenient to move, Lu Zhu wanted to help her, but she didn't expect that the young man didn't appreciate it at all, causing her to lose face in front of all the sisters.

Xiao Xun had no memory of the tall and thin maid in front of him, and he never bothered to remember unimportant people.He's here to keep order.The supply of herbal teas is in short supply, and there will be conflicts if too many people come to buy them.Some people wanted to jump in line, some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to resell, and when the sale first started, some people fought over who would enter the Tzu Chi Hall first.

Later, Xiao Ruo came up with the idea of ​​first-come-first-served number, which solved a lot of troubles after buying according to the number. Even if someone buys and sells numbers privately, it is your wish and it will not cause trouble.

He just needs to maintain the shape of the line and prevent the line from getting too long, which would affect street traffic.

"You two know each other?" The nanny looked at Lu Zhu and then at the boy. "It's a coincidence that you are from the Tzu Chi Church, right? Take us to Dr. Cen, we want to buy that herbal tea."

"I don't know, the registration is over today. If you want to buy a cup of [-] cents, please come early tomorrow." Xiao Xun remained expressionless.

The nurse of Zhang's family was anxious when she heard that, how could she go back and explain to the lady if she didn't buy herbal tea.She frowned impatiently and said, "Do you know who I am? I'm Mrs. Zhang's nanny! I'm here to buy things for Mrs. Zhang!"

Hearing what she said, the people in the line next to her interrupted: "Mrs. Zhang's nanny is still here to grab a twenty-cup cup from us? Why don't you decide on fifty-cup?"

Fifty Wen?Twenty Wen for a cup of tea is enough, how about fifty Wen for a cup?Tzu Chi Hall is not a pharmacy, is it a den of bandits?

Luzhu was shocked when she heard others say this. She only heard Sun Changbai say that the herbal tea sold in Tzu Chi Hall costs twenty yuan a cup. At that time, she wondered who would drink such expensive tea. Woolen cloth!

Fifty Wen is nothing in Zhang's nanny's mind. The things she bought for the young lady are priced in silver ingots. It is only fifty Wen. Compared with the young lady's body, it is nothing at all.

She nodded and said to Xiaoxun: "Brother, fifty Wen is only fifty Wen. As long as I can buy it today, five hundred Wen is not a problem."

"Hey, as expected of a member of the Zhang family, five hundred wen is not a big deal..." The nearby people all felt emotional when they heard Zhang's nanny's words.

Xiao Xun also nodded and signaled the three members of the Zhang family to follow him. Xiao Ruo had explained before that if anyone wanted to order fifty-cent herbal tea, he would directly take them to the left side of the front hall to register.

There were already four names on the register, and Zhang's nanny took the opportunity to glance at them. The first two names were the Li family and the Ruan family in the town, and she had never seen the last two.Although the Li family and the Ruan family are not as good as the Zhang family, they are still well-known wealthy households in the town. The numbers eight and nine follow their names respectively.

"What does that mean?" she asked, pointing to the two numbers.

"This is the number of cups they ordered." The female voice with a smile answered her, it was Xiaoruo who had just finished making the second batch of ice today.

"In addition to the [-] cups we buy with the number every day, we also have [-] cups that can be reserved. The pre-ordered batches will be sold according to the register at the end of the day." She explained to the three members of the Zhang family in detail. "We also launched a delivery service. As long as you order more than five cups within the scope of Shangxi Town, you can deliver it to your door."

"Is there any difference between [-] Wen and [-] Wen except that they can be ordered?" Zhang's nanny is not so easy to fool, the price difference is more than double, and she always asks if it is the same thing.

"The medicinal materials are not much different, and the formula is the same, but twenty wen is added with crushed smoothies, and fifty wen is small ice cubes." Xiaoruo clearly bites the word ice cubes, and the tea with ice cubes is only Selling for fifty pennies, anyone who understands the market knows how cost-effective it is.

"It's really ice cubes?" The three of Zhang's family couldn't believe it. Their master begged his grandpa to tell his grandma about ice cubes that he couldn't get after many inquiries, but this Tzu Chi Hall actually has them?It is also made into tea and sold, and a cup only costs fifty cents?

Now Luzhu doesn't think that a cup of tea at fifty cents is too expensive. If there are ice cubes, which can make the wife feel cool and appetizing, then their servants will have a much better life this summer, and they don't have to worry about being angered by the master and the young master.

Seeing Xiaoruo nod her promise with a positive face, Zhang's nanny also felt relieved, and asked Xiaoruo to register for her as well. She wanted to order five cups of clearing hot tea and five cups of six white teas.There is no need to deliver it to the door, she is waiting here to pick it up, and it is almost the end of the day, she wants to see the herbal tea with ice cubes with her own eyes.
