Chapter 41◇
◎Kumquat, Lemon, Passion Fruit and more beneficial bacteria ◎
Remove the seeds and slice the golden lemons, and put the green kumquats in a cup, and gently pound the juice out of them.
That green and astringent smell that cannot be ignored filled the entire room almost instantly, and the sour smell in the air already made people's saliva salivate uncontrollably.
The crumpled passion fruit has been dug out of the pulp, and the sweet and sour yellow pulp finally adds a little bit of sweetness to the sour atmosphere in the room.
Put it in a cup with syrup, green kumquat, golden orange lemon and passion fruit pulp. Although the combination is quite simple, the sweet and sour aroma that complements each other cannot be fooled.
Whether it's Ning Mu who has always liked lemons, or Kui Jing who is watching Pi Qianlan's movements with her own eyes, at this moment, she can't help but suck the saliva secreted from her mouth. "Should I say it or not, the aroma of this lemon is really tempting!" Kui Jing said with emotion, this attractive color and the fragrance in the room, even if she wanted to refuse the lemon, she couldn't help it One cup. "When did the aroma of lemon go wrong? Only some fools can't appreciate people's taste, which makes it into the level of dark cooking." Ning Mu stared at Pi Qianlan's movements without blinking, but his mouth was Not forgiving at all, "Boss Pi has to be appreciative, so there will be lemon drinks." Forget it! Seeing Ning Mu's flattering appearance, Kui Jing secretly complained in her heart: It was only after the little boss appeared that Lemon's reputation began to turn back secretly. In the past, you looked at those lemons with your own conscience. Did you feel guilty when you said it was delicious? "Each person has his own hobby. If you really like lemons, it's still very good." Pi Qianlan scooped some slowly pickled lemons into the cup and looked at them and started arguing again Two people explained. "So, I don't talk to people who don't appreciate it." Ning Mu turned around and focused on the movements in Pi Qianlan's hands.
After the kumquat lemon passion fruit is pickled, rinse it with plain water. It is already a simple and attractive drink that can capture everyone's taste buds.
But looking at the clear and washed-out audio, Pi Qianlan suddenly had a new idea in his heart.
"Want to try something new?" Pi Qianlan looked at the two of them as if remembering something, "I always drink what's on the menu, and it's the same after changing. I'll pretend it for you guys, let's try a new method."
Ning Mu and Kui Jing, who couldn't wait for Pi Qianlan's actions, looked at each other and couldn't help sucking back the saliva already secreted from their mouths.
Can there be new tricks? Both of them were full of curiosity about what Pi Qianlan said was 'artificial'.
Although they felt that they hadn't drunk all the milk tea in Piqianlan's shop, let alone feeling tired, it was good to have something new to try!
"Okay, okay!" Kui Jing nodded frantically, "Any new method is fine, I believe in the craftsmanship of the little boss!" "
Don't you don't drink lemons? There is another one who grabs things." Ning Mu looked at Kwai Jing said impatiently.
"You don't mind me!" Thinking of how she used to say that she didn't drink lemons, Pi Qianlan blushed a little, "I just want to keep up with the little boss, can't I? I'll drink whatever the little boss does!"
If Had she known that drinks made with lemons had such a 'stimulating' aroma, she would have bravely tried Little Boss's, okay?
The little boss can really make her slap her in the face every time!
"Okay, then I'll change the method!" Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Pi Qianlan put down the white water in her hand and stopped making the previous drink.
Fortunately, the action of pouring water into the cup was stopped in time, and now the water in the cup is not irretrievable, so she can change to another method without wasting any waste.
Pi Qianlan took out the soda she bought earlier from the cabinet below.
Because people in Plant Star yearn for plant juice, almost all popular drinks are made of pure fruit juice, which is convenient for delivering nutrition to the human body.
As for soda, people have also tried to make pure fruit juice into aerated drinks, but the effect is not as good as expected, so soda has become the bottom of every supermarket's medium-pressure box.
Seeing that Pi Qianlan poured the soda into the cup and mixed it with those kumquats, lemons and passion fruits, Kui Jing wrinkled her nose, "Boss, are you sure it's okay to pour soda into it? It's not easy to turn juice into soda before." Not very popular." "Of course!" Pi Qianlan looked at Kui Jing's curious expression and slowly explained, "Unlike those pure fruit juices, lemon and passion fruit can be perfectly blended into any liquid , can bring them more interesting tastes.” You know, the most popular fruit tea in the past life, kumquat lemon passion fruit has taken the first place, even when you buy tea bags, Everyone must be able to see it. "Steamed fruit tea? This is really the first time I've seen it." Hearing Pi Qianlan's explanation, Ning Mu couldn't help but smile, looking expectantly at the thing she was making. However, before the soda was added, Pi Qianlan took out a few more bottles of probiotic milk, and then poured them into the almost full glass. Let the original clear color of the full cup gradually turn into a milky white milky feeling with the pouring of probiotic milk, covering the pulp inside with a veil of mystery. Soda probiotic milk? "If you add soda to the fruit, don't say anything, and add probiotic milk to it?" Kui Jing looked at the drink that was slowly taking shape under Pi Qianlan's hands, and carefully sealed the mouth. "Sure enough, every time I think I know enough about the innovation of the little boss, the little boss will always make new things to refresh my understanding of you!"
"Then why don't you go ahead and doubt for a while?" Seeing Kui Jing's expression of not daring to reach out, Pi Qianlan joked with a smile.
"Forget it, every doubt must be accompanied by pain in the face, I dare not doubt it! I'll just wait for it to amaze my taste buds."
Kui Jing shook her head quickly, thinking of every time she used to After questioning the results of the little boss's operation, he withdrew his hand and dared not say anything more.
Ning Mu didn't feel much about the combinations they mentioned, as long as the drink could reveal the aroma of lemon, no matter what was added to the drink, he was confident that he would like it. After all, he has tried lemon "dark cuisine" all over the place before, no matter how bad it tastes, what can be better than lemon with ginger? That was something he had actually tasted. Holding his trust in Pi Qianlan, Ning Mu was the first to take a sip of this strange-looking drink. But at the moment of sipping, he admits he was instantly overwhelmed by the drink. Whether it's the drinks he's had before, or the ones he's tried in Piqianlan's shop that have amazed him, compared with this one, he's a complete loser! The combination of lemon, green kumquat and passion fruit is absolutely perfect! In this drink, their fresh fragrance has not been weakened at all, directly laying the strongest tone for the whole drink, and nothing can take away their brilliance. The sour lemon and green kumquat are combined with the slightly sweet passion fruit, and the honey syrup added by Piqianlan to adjust the taste is completely acceptable even for people who don’t like lemon This sweet and sour taste. Leaving aside the fruity fragrance of the full glass, the soda added by accident makes it particularly refreshing to drink. Coupled with the coolness of ice cubes, it is a perfect match! Directly greatly exceeded his imagination. Slowly sucking it into the mouth with a big mouthful, it directly makes people feel refreshed from the soles of the feet to the forehead.
The fruit soaked in water and the refreshing taste of the soda, surprisingly, there is no sense of incompatibility, and the soda without any taste or nutritional content can be perfectly integrated.
As for the probiotic milk that was put in at the end, Ning Mu had to say that it was the finishing touch!
Facing the mouth-piercing refreshment brought by soda mixed with fruit, probiotic milk, after being added, forms a delicate balance for the whole drink.
In addition to the refreshing feeling in the mouth, people began to feel a hint of richness and smoothness. The sweet and sour feeling of probiotics directly changed the appearance of the fruity drink.
Ning Mu could even imagine that before the probiotic milk was added, that refreshing drink was especially suitable for hot summer days. Facing the sun, taking a big sip would not only clear the heat and relieve the heat, but also directly throw away all the extremely hot.
After adding the probiotic milk, the refreshing feeling is still the same, but it will not feel like the brain is stabbed and trembling after taking a big mouthful.
Delicate, smooth and refreshing!
"Wow! This is too delicious! Little boss, you are too good." Before Ning Mu could say what he praised, Kui Jing who was beside him expressed emotion.
As a person who has not had much contact with lemons, this drink directly refreshed Kwai Jing's cognition of lemon drinks.
Under the effect of probiotic milk, even the citric acid in the cup began to soften slowly, giving people a warm and gentle feeling.
"Sour but not astringent, moderately sweet, refreshing with a touch of smoothness, the little boss can really bring a lot of surprises every time." Ning Mu gave his evaluation not to be outdone, looking at the lack of language Kui Jing's eyes were full of provocation.
"Just as long as you like it!" Pi Qianlan didn't savor carefully like those two people, she hadn't drank sparkling drinks for a long time, and this one sip directly emptied most of the drink in her hand.
Cool! Pi Qianlan thought blissfully, the day she yearns for the most is that she doesn't have to do anything every day, can drink these milk teas to her heart's content, and the money can be poured into her wallet by herself.
Now it seems that apart from being able to drink milk tea to refreshment, the other two wishes are in vain.
"This thing must be added to the menu! I promise, it will definitely set off a craze for lemons among all customers. It's so delicious!"
Kui Jing sipped the cup that was gradually empty, and faced Pi Qianlan's sincere suggestion, "There will definitely be countless people who will fall in love with this thing, little boss, you believe me!"
"Of course I believe you," Pi Qianlan looked into Kui Jing's eyes and said seriously, "However, you are now the original The store manager is now, these things can be decided by yourself. As long as it is something I made, you can choose whether to put it on the shelves or not.” This is also
a choice left by Pi Qianlan for herself. I can't fully confirm whether the taste I liked in my previous life can meet the preferences of plant stars.
In the past, apart from her own pondering, when she was in doubt, she could only ask Kui Jing and the others to try it in the past to help evaluate the degree of acceptance.
Now that Kui Jing is the store manager of the original store, she can use her casually, saving some inappropriate things from being put on the shelves by accident.
"Eh, is that so?" Kui Jing seemed to suddenly remember, as soon as she entered the research and development room to stay with Pi Qianlan and Ning Mu, she seemed to be back when she came to the little boss's shop to hang out. Forgot she was already working here.
"Then I'm going to exercise my precious rights as the store manager!" Kui Jing said with her hands on her hips, "I'm the only one in this store now!" "Yes, yes, our store
manager The most powerful!" Pi Qianlan looked at Kui Jing's pretended appearance, and said with a doting smile.
"Cough," Ning Mu on the side coughed as if wanting to show his existence, then changed the topic stiffly, looked at Pi Qianlan and said, "Well, when is Boss Pi's new store opening? Do you need it? Shall I help you call some friends?"
No transfer! Look at the other side who is acting coquettishly and pampering again, good guy, he just doesn't treat him like a human being. Why, does Lemon have to bear this kind of sour pain in his heart?
Besides, pay attention to the impact, he is still here! It's fine if you don't get the same treatment, but does it have to make people feel bitter?
Kui Jing rolled her eyes in a place where no one saw, could this way of changing the subject be any worse?
Did he forget that he just said that he already knew about the opening from his friends? Slapped in the face so quickly? Who can believe it!
Someone really believed it.
Pi Qianlan has been dizzy by the opening of the branch over there in the past two days, and her memory has been so bad that she almost can't remember anything.
Upon hearing Ning Mu's words, Pi Qianlan hurriedly said: "The branch is officially open this weekend, of course you are welcome to join us! As for friends, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to call them. Wait until you have tasted it." , if you think it’s still worth buying, I’d be very grateful to help promote it on social platforms.”
Pi Qianlan is very confident about what the branch will open, especially after she has carefully checked the information. I have confirmed that I have opened a branch.
If you don’t check, you don’t know. If you check, you will be shocked!
Previously, she had introduced the fruit with special effects to this world from Uncle Wang next door. At that time, she only thought that it was like the Australian finger orange in her previous life, which was a few thousand pounds smaller.
Although the price is indeed outrageous, if someone is curious and wants to try it, it is not unaffordable.
But after she read all kinds of materials, she finally understood what the special fruit in this world meant.
It's just a rich man's game!
If she had considered before that there would be those curious people who would buy a pound of these expensive things to try something new, then the fruit with special effects would cost the same price, but they could only buy a small fruit???? ?.
It's really just a 'taste'.
Faced with this outrageous price, Pi Qianlan also considered at the beginning how to set the price for the branch that uses the special fruit grown by herself.
Forgive her ignorant petty bourgeois thinking, but at first she really considered whether to only increase the original price by a few times for the fruits of her own random variety.
But later, Ning Mu's words suddenly reminded her.
Although some things are not too difficult for her, the market price is something she must consider.
The saying that value determines price is practical no matter which world it is in. In the face of scarce resources of functional fruits, she must determine the price according to her own value, otherwise it will be a major blow to the market.
She still doesn't have the confidence to leverage the market's pricing on fruits with special effects, and once some things are forced to step down from the altar, they may face even worse consequences.
After several times of thinking, Pi Qianlan finally decided what to do.
Although he can't make a decision on the price of the product itself, she can directly decide on the amount that can be added to the drink.
Therefore, when other stores use large, medium and small cups to determine the quantity and price of drinks, Piqianlan's branch chooses all the same quilt sizes, but the only difference is the increased concentration of special fruits in the cups, which is also It is a special innovation.
After several days of final preparations, Pi Qianlan's high-end branch finally opened for the specially selected auspicious day!
...
"Why don't you go grab the money?!"
The branch, which had been open for a long time, finally welcomed the first customer who opened the door, but after reading the menu, he was greeted with a shocked expression.
A drink with the lowest concentration costs several thousand? Isn't this money grabbing? Could it be that he still has to thank this store for grabbing money and not forgetting to give him a drink?
"Every cup of our drink is definitely worth the money! Don't worry, we will never disappoint your price..."
Kui Jing's voice of explanation has not yet fallen, and the customer who just walked in the door fled and left the place. A 'black shop', leaving behind only an angry figure and the sound of complaining to passers-by.
"Hey." Kui Jing couldn't help sighing, this was the first time since she came to this branch to help out for a few hours, the sun was already high in the sky, but the door of the whole branch only rang once.
However, what was obtained was this disappointing ending.
Looking at the few people in front of the door, Kui Jing's heart felt like grass grew.
Why hasn't anyone come yet? Kui Jing looked towards the door with insufficient eyesight. Today is the first day of opening of the new store, so it will end up not even opening, right?
If I had known, she would have dragged Xiaolu over even if she was stubborn, at least it would have improved the desolate situation where there were so few people in the house, so there wouldn't be even a fly!
Dead lemons! What about joining us? How long has it been open, and I haven't even seen a single person.
In her heart, Kui Jing complained anxiously about Ning Mu, who was not talking, and kept comforting Pi Qianlan; "Little boss, don't worry, maybe they are all on the way here, and no one will show up." Besides, if it’s not possible, the original store will still be in business!”
As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Kui Jing wanted to slap her mouth that said everything.
Why do you want to mention the original store? It's not like she hasn't seen the little boss's thoughts in this branch, and now she insists on reminding her that the branch that has exhausted its thoughts is not as good as the original one?
Pi Qianlan on the side is not as rich in mental activities as Kui Jing. It can be said that she has already thought of today's situation as early as when she was just preparing for the new store, and there is not much surprise. After all, the audience of this branch is different from that of the original store. Compared with the original store where customers can afford to buy at any time, the customer base of the branch will inevitably be rarer. Moreover, the price of the drinks in the store is enough to dissuade a large number of customers who want to come to the store, just like the customer who just pushed the door in and broke out. In addition to the customers who count on tap water, the electricity industry of this kind of shop only has word of mouth from those real audiences. Otherwise, opening up the market will be the first problem she and this small shop face. "I am willing to use my ten years of being single in exchange for the first customer of the branch!" Kui Jing prayed secretly in her heart, "It must be from the branch, come quickly, please!" Pi Qianlan didn't know that Kui Jing To actually make such a 'vicious' oath, seeing her eyes closed and chanting, I thought she had something to do. Just as she was about to say: The way this place is now, it is enough to leave her alone. If Kui Jing is worried about the original store, there is nothing wrong with going back. But in the next second, I don't know whether it was Kui Jing's prayers that helped, or the fortune of the store arrived, and the wind chimes at the door finally rang again. It's over, ten years is gone? Kui Jing looked at the door that was opening, and thought a little dumbfounded. Was her previous oath so accurate? Why did the results come out so quickly today? When the person who opened the door walked into the small shop completely, Kui Jing rushed over with an 'ow': "Damn lemon! You pay me for ten years of love!!!! " !" Ning Mu watched Kui Jing rushing towards him with a pounding stick, dodged her 'fierce' attack, looked at Pi Qianlan in front of the counter and said, "Boss Pi, I'm not even here. Is it late?"
"It's not too late, I'm very welcome if you can come." Looking at Ning Mu who was cheering, Pi Qianlan finally let out a sigh of relief: Isn't the first one here?
In the weird and lovely atmosphere where the two were looking at each other, a wailing broke the atmosphere extremely unsightly.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooloves""
"Not only did I come by myself, I also brought a friend you should know." Ning Mu didn't respond to the nervous Kui Jing at all, and pointed to the door.
"Boss Pi, still remember me..."
