When it comes to selling drinks, the only thing Sister-in-law Qin can think of is brown sugar water, oh yes, honey water is also delicious, but I don’t know about the others, even honey water, she only knows about it but has never drank it.

Qin's sister-in-law was embarrassed, "Sister, this is hard for me, all I know is brown sugar water and honey water, I really don't know about the others."

Li Mo shook her head, honey water and brown sugar water are too common, common people can drink them, they are nothing attractive, if you want to drink it at home, soak it a little, and you don't need to buy it from her all the time.

Still have to make some special tea.

Li Mo thought of all kinds of beverages in modern times, but they were not available here. However, it is still possible to make one or two teas.

When she was a student, she often made some small drinks at home, but many of them required modern machines and seasonings, and some simply used tea bags bought from supermarkets, which could not be made here.

There are things that can be done here, but she can only remember two very simple ones.

One is honey citron tea, and the other is almond milk tea.

These two methods are very simple, and the materials are also very simple, you can buy them when you go out, and they are easy to make, so you can try them.

Back in the room, Li Mo took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the general production method according to the appearance in memory.

The ingredients needed for honey citron tea are grapefruit, honey, rock sugar and a little salt. Cut the pomelo meat into small pieces, then cut the pomelo skin into small shreds, marinate in salt water for an hour to remove the bitterness, then put it in water and boil it for ten minutes, then fish it out, then put these Put the treated pomelo peel and pomelo meat together with rock sugar into the pot and cook on low heat for an hour until it becomes thick and the pomelo skin is golden and translucent.

After cooling, add honey and stir well, put it in a sealed jar, and rinse it with warm water when drinking. The taste is very good.

After jotting down the recipe of honey citron tea with a brush, Li Mo carefully reviewed the recipe of almond milk tea.

Almond milk tea needs almonds, yam, milk and rock sugar.

Soak the almonds in hot water for a while, so that it is easy to remove the skin. After removing, cut the yam into pieces and cook, then mash the yam and almonds together, and then add milk and rock sugar and stir together, so that OK. You can also add dates and raisins to taste according to your personal taste.

There is no ready-made milk here, but you can buy goat milk, and use almonds to remove the smell. Fortunately, this is a town, so it is still very easy to buy goat milk.

After writing down the production methods of these two tea drinks, Li Mo plans to explain them to Sister-in-law Qin in detail tomorrow, and ask her to buy some materials first, and try to make them when she comes back. After she succeeds, she can focus on launching them.

After finishing writing the tea drink, Li Mo thought of the day when Song Dashan would go to the city to heal his legs in the next day, so he simply picked up his pen and wrote a big notice, planning to post it when the time came.

On the second day, Li Mo greeted the guests one by one, told her that she was going to the city to see a doctor, and asked Mrs. Qin to stay and look at the shop the next day, and then followed Song Dashan to the city again before dawn .

This time when I went to the city, after Song Dashan had his legs healed, he did not go to the inn for one night as before, but went to the Duwei Mansion to meet Sima Haoran. The two brothers had a good reunion before returning the next day town.

Back home, Li Mo and Song Dashan had lunch first, and while they were not doing business in the afternoon, Song Dashan drove the donkey cart to the village.

Now is the time for sweet-scented osmanthus to bloom, and the scent of osmanthus is pleasant. There are many osmanthus trees in the village. Li Mo plans to take advantage of the flowering season to make a balm with the scent of osmanthus, so two days ago, he asked Zhao Changbang to send a message back to the village to let the people in the village Help pick sweet-scented osmanthus, buy it at a price of 20 Wen per basket, and just go back to the village today to get it back.

After Song Dashan left, Li Mo called Mrs. Qin, "Sister-in-law, have you bought the materials I asked you to buy?"

Sister-in-law Qin replied: "I bought it, but I didn't start to make it, because I really didn't make it, and I was afraid that it would be a waste of these things. I thought I would wait for you to come back and let you watch from the sidelines."

Li Mo nodded, "Then sister-in-law, let's go to the kitchen to study this method now."

Sister-in-law Qin wiped her hands on the apron, "Okay, let's go now, I'll move the things I bought to the kitchen."

When they arrived at the kitchen, Li Mo and Sister-in-Law Qin processed the ingredients they bought according to the recipe, and then put the processed grapefruit peel and grapefruit meat with some rock sugar into the pot to boil, stirring while boiling.

While Qin's sister-in-law was boiling honey pomelo, Li Mo poured the goat's milk into another pot, added almonds and boiled to remove the smell, then put the yams and almonds that were pounded into powder and puree into the goat's milk, added rock sugar and stirred until Froth and this almond milk tea is ready.

Li Mo put the prepared almond milk tea into a large porcelain basin. At this time, the honey grapefruit boiled by Sister-in-law Qin was also ready, and she also put it into the porcelain basin.

Li Mo added honey to the honey citron tea and stirred well, and the two teas were ready.

Li Mo took out two spoons from the cupboard and gave one to Sister-in-law Qin, "How about trying it, Sister-in-law? Give me your opinion, and improve the bad parts."

Sister-in-law Qin carefully put a spoonful of almond milk tea into her mouth, and after she swallowed it, she showed a surprised expression and kept nodding to Li Mo, "Sister, it's delicious, it's really delicious."

Li Mo also took a spoonful and tasted it. She felt that it was similar to the ones made in school, and the taste was not bad, but it was not as exaggerated as Sister-in-law Qin said. It is probably because Sister-in-law Qin had never drank these, so she was surprised.

He stretched out his spoon and scooped a spoonful of the thickened honey pomelo paste into the bowl, added some hot water, stirred it evenly, and took a sip.

Overall, it was relatively successful. The bitterness of grapefruit has been completely removed, but it seems not sweet enough.

Li Mo added some honey to the honey pomelo paste, stirred it evenly, and soaked it again, the taste improved a lot this time.

"Sister-in-law Qin, try this honey grapefruit tea as I do."

After hearing this, Sister-in-Law Qin also took a bowl, imitating Li Mo's example, made a bowl of honey grapefruit tea, and after taking the first sip, she was full of praise again.

Li Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she almost wondered whether she would like to drink whatever she gave Sister-in-law Qin.

Li Mo took two bowls and mixed two cups of honey citron tea, then asked Sister-in-law Qin to bring almond milk tea to the main room and put it on the table.

"Xiaobao, Huzi, come quickly, come and taste something delicious." Li Mo called out to the two little fellows in the yard.

Children still can't stand the temptation of delicious food. As soon as Li Mo yelled, the two little guys ran into the house in a hurry, looked at the bowl that didn't know what it contained, and held it without saying a word. tasted it.

After one sip, Xiaobao's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but licked his lips, looked at Li Mo and said, "Mother, this is delicious, sweet."

Huzi also nodded, before he had time to say anything, he lowered his head and drank vigorously.

Li Mo rubbed Xiao Bao's head with a smile, "Drink more if it tastes good. After you finish this, you will have this milk tea."

Xiaobao Chickie nodded, lowered his head and began to drink.

Huzi also followed suit.

Sister-in-law Qin looked at her son drinking deliciously, her eyes were a little sour, Huzi had a hard time with her, he had never eaten delicious food, he almost grew up eating wild vegetables, he only ate it when he came here It is something that many children like to eat, and it is so sweet.

She was really grateful to Brother Dashan and Sister Li Mo.

At this time, Song Dashan also came back from the village. Seeing the children lying on the table drinking something delicious, he asked with a smile, "What can I do for the children?"

Li Mo walked up to him, "Didn't you mean to sell tea? I just made it with Sister-in-law Qin. It's pretty good to drink. Don't be too busy, just come with me and have a drink."

Song Dashan listened to Li Mo's words, ignored the sweet-scented osmanthus in the car, and followed Li Mo into the main room.

Li Mo scooped up a bowl of almond milk tea for Song Dashan first, Song Dashan took it, Gulu Gulu drank it, and finished the bowl of milk tea in one gulp.

Li Mo smiled and slapped him lightly, "You man, where is Niu Yin?"

Song Dashan wiped his mouth and smiled, "I'm thirsty, I'll drink it slowly next time. But my lady, it's really delicious. It's much better than honey water, and it's still fragrant."

Li Mo didn't expect him to say it wasn't good, so she made another bowl of honey grapefruit tea for him, and Song Dashan drank it all in one go.

"How is it? Do you think the business of selling these two kinds of tea drinks in our shop will be good?" Li Mo asked.

Song Dashan was the first to express his opinion: "I think it's very good. It's getting colder. These two teas are hot and warm when you drink them. They taste really good, better than brown sugar water and honey water."

Qin's sister-in-law also agreed, "Although I haven't drunk many good things, I just think it's delicious. You can see that the two children like it too. Not to mention the adults, the children must like it."

Li Mo made a decision, "Okay, let's add these two types of tea in the future. I calculated the cost, and finally decided to pay three Wen a cup."

Song Dashan had no objections.

Li Mo said again: "If this tea can be sold, I will give it to Mrs. Qin. You can make it at a fixed time in the morning and afternoon. If anyone wants to buy it, I will come to you."

Sister-in-law Qin agrees.

Li Mo turned to Song Dashan and said: "Dashan, since our family is going to sell tea in the future, there must be something to put it in. I don't plan to use porcelain bowls. After all, there are many children and they are easy to break. It’s not good for the other party to pay for it. It’s better to use something that can’t be broken. I plan to ask Uncle Zhang to make us a batch of wooden cups for tea. I will roughly draw the shape and size of the cups later. Tuo Changbang go back and help us ask Uncle Zhang to beat him."

Song Dashan said: "Okay, I'll go to Changbang tomorrow."

Li Mo shared the remaining honey grapefruit tea and almond milk tea with the two children, and she followed Song Dashan to carry the baskets of sweet-scented osmanthus from the car.

"So many sweet-scented osmanthus?" Li Mo looked at the car full of sweet-scented osmanthus in amazement.

Song Dashan smiled, "Let Changbang go back and say to collect twenty yuan a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus, and everyone in the village will do it. Everyone at home will pick sweet-scented osmanthus, and all the sweet-scented osmanthus in the village will be picked. Quite a few baskets."

"Then let's hurry up and do it now. We'll put out the sweet-scented osmanthus ointment tomorrow. We can do as much as we can. If we can't do it, we can do it tomorrow night."

So, Song Dashan moved the sweet-scented osmanthus into the kitchen, Qin's sister-in-law lit the fire, Song Dashan and Li Mo made it, and the three of them were busy until they went to bed, and then they made a whole hundred boxes of ointment, which could be sold after cooling overnight .

The next day, Song Dashan sent fifty boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus ointment to Yueniang, and sold the remaining fifty boxes in his own shop.

For those who come today, Song Dashan will remind them that there is a new flavor of balm in the shop, and they can try it for free.

Song Dashan opened a box of sweet-scented osmanthus ointment and put it on the counter for the guests to try for themselves. This attracted the attention of many women, who all dipped some ointment on their wrists and smelled it and discussed with each other. Few people like this taste very much, so they pay for a box.

When the shop was closed at night, the fifty boxes of balm had already been sold out, and it was estimated that Yueniang's place was almost sold out as well.

Song Dashan and Li Mo had to rush out one hundred boxes again.

After selling for three full days, the popularity of the osmanthus balm dropped, and the daily sales volume became normal.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Uncle Zhang's speed was as fast as ever, he had already made fifty wooden cups customized by Li Mo, and asked Zhao Changbang to bring them over.

Li Mo and Qin's sister-in-law washed the cups well, put them in boiling water, boiled them and sterilized them, and then put them in the cabinet in the leisure room. I went to the leisure room with honey grapefruit tea, and yelled out according to Li Mo's instructions, "Let's take a look, this shop has newly launched two unique teas, which are very delicious, and these are not even available in the capital. Our shop today It’s sold on the first day, and you can taste it for free, everyone come and taste it, if it’s not good, don’t buy it.”

Hearing that it was free to try, the adults and children playing in the leisure room crowded over and wanted to try it one after another.

Qin's sister-in-law distributed a cup to each person present, and first poured a small cup of almond milk tea into each person's cup.

After the people present finished drinking, the adults stopped talking, and the children all licked their lips, looking like they still had something to say, and some were even arguing for more to drink.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin said: "Don't worry, try this honey grapefruit tea again, it's also delicious." Then she poured half a cup of honey grapefruit tea into everyone's cups.

"Mom, I want to drink this."

"Mom, I want more, more."

"Mom, I want to drink the later, the later."

The children still wanted to drink, so the adults had no choice but to follow them, and bought a cup for the children one after another. For a while, Mrs. Qin was very busy, collecting money and pouring tea at the same time, but there was nothing wrong, they all charged one money , pour a cup of tea.

The children drank with relish, and some adults who were thirsty after eating melon seeds were also a little thirsty. Those who didn't care about a few pennies came over and bought a drink.

Sister-in-law Qin couldn't let the corner of her mouth turn up, thinking that this is really a good business to make money, and now it can make more money for Brother Dashan and Sister Li Mo, so she worked harder and harder, thinking about tomorrow's Do a little more, and then come a few more times to yell, so there must be a lot of people buying.

The author has something to say: see you tomorrow
