Chapter 577 Monthly Subscription 200
The next day, Huang Bohan, with a try-it-and-see attitude, took a small half of the freshly cut fruit and put it into the citric acid solution.

At first, the tea made from the two fruits tasted almost identical.

Human taste buds aren't that sensitive, after all.

Two hours later, Huang Bohan returned from class and made two more cups of fruit tea. He finally tasted the difference between them.

Fruits placed in a citric acid solution retain their bright color and fresh aroma, looking almost identical to fresh fruit.

On the other hand, the flesh is dark in color, and the slight dullness when you taste it is like something from the past that has been left overnight.

Perhaps many consumers don't care about this difference in taste.

However, Huang Bohan believes that only by striving for excellence can a product stand out from its competitors in the market.

You may not drink Royal Tea, but once you drink Royal Tea, you definitely won't be able to drink any other milk tea.

The staff also tried it, and they were all stunned, having no idea how it was done.

"Boss, is there some kind of secret recipe in this water?"

Some of the shop assistants asked curiously.

Huang Bohan smiled and said, "Yes, but I bought it at a high price."

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant immediately lost his curiosity; this was a secret about spending money.

After more than half a year of starting his business, Da Huang has become quite shrewd.

Although the salary and benefits at Royal Tea Shop are decent, this industry is characterized by "high employee turnover," so some of the "secret techniques" need to be kept secret.

Perhaps it can't be kept secret for too long, but at least we should wait until National Day when the "Royal Tea Flagship Store" on Tiyu West Road opens.

After leaving the store, Huang Bohan immediately reported the matter to Mu Jiawen.

Hearing that the advice had worked, Xiao Mou was quite pleased: "You didn't believe me yesterday, but don't soak it for too long, otherwise the citric acid will affect the taste."

"Will not."

Huang Bohan said, "Our supplies are used up very quickly. We usually replace a batch every two hours. I just soaked it for three hours to verify the maximum value."

"You're quite thoughtful."

Xiao Mou gave a compliment and then planned to hang up the phone.

Unexpectedly, Huang Bohan asked again, "I would also like to ask, what should I do if the milk foam is prone to separating or the texture is not smooth?"

"This question..."

Mu Jiawen pondered for a moment: "Milk foam is a complex colloidal system. Its stability depends on the balance of fat, protein and emulsifier, so the ingredients of the cheese and light cream you use are the key."

"Our cheese and cream are all wholesaled from reputable supermarkets."

Huang Bohan quickly said, "Chen said that other things can be fancy, but the stuff you eat must be clean."

“I didn’t question whether you used inferior products, but the better the cream, the greater the problem of separation and a smooth texture.”

Xiao Mou thought for a moment and said, "I suggest adding a small amount of natural emulsifier, such as carrageenan."

"Carrageenan?"

Huang Bohan hesitated for a moment: "Is this food safe to eat? We must always be vigilant about food safety."

"Damn, why are you talking like a bunch of stale old sayings now?"

Mu Jiawen rolled her eyes: "This is a hydrophilic colloid extracted from red algae seaweed. Should I tell you its chemical structure? Sulfated or non-sulfated galactose and 3,6-dehydrated galactose are linked by α-1,3 glycosidic bonds and β-1..."

Huang Bohan gave an awkward smile.

He knew that his questioning had angered Xiao Mou.

However, there was no other way. Since its inception, Royal Tea has gradually figured out three key factors for success, which are ranked in order of importance as: safety, taste, and style.

This is also something Chen Zhe agrees with.

"I'm sorry, I'm being too sensitive. I just feel that as the national economic level and health awareness improve in the future, everyone will definitely prioritize safety."

Huang Bohan gave a special explanation:
“Royal Tea established a solid reputation in this regard in the early stages, which not only won the recognition of consumers, but also has a broader significance.”

"If a leading company in the food industry strictly controls the quality of raw materials, then newcomers will naturally raise their standards accordingly, and the whole society will benefit."

"Chen said that this is the real meaning of being a leading enterprise, instead of like in the future real estate industry, where everyone is competing to be the worst."

Huang Bohan added with a puzzled look, "The real estate assessment was made by Chen Zhe. I think the industry is doing quite well right now, so why is he so pessimistic?"

"Perhaps Chen Zhe has his own perspective on the issue."

Mu Jiawen was somewhat moved.

Huang Bohan has not only become more mature, but also has the ambition and sense of responsibility to become a "leading enterprise".

Although we're a bit unfamiliar with each other, I'm genuinely happy for him.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Bohan pondered Mu Jiawen's suggestion.

After class in the afternoon, he immediately went to the Guangbai Supermarket and bought "carrageenan". He then put it into a clean container without a label so that the employees would not know what it was.

Back at the store, they began experimenting, squeezing a drop of carrageenan into the cheese according to the "5/1000 ratio" given by Mu Jiawen.

Huang Bohan tried the first cup himself.

Before going to bed, Huang Bohan drank another cup. The next day at noon, Huang Bohan drank half a cup again.

After drinking it for two days in a row, Huang Bohan found that he did not experience any gastrointestinal discomfort or other symptoms, and the taste of the milk tea did not change much. He knew that this was a product that could be promoted.

So, while explaining the proportions to the cheese-making staff, he weighed the options and then called Mu Jiawen again.

Hearing that her advice had worked again, Mu Jiawen felt a sense of accomplishment.

This sense of accomplishment far surpasses that of being a hostess, since it is about "applying what you've learned" and finding a direct connection in practice. It's a test and enhancement of one's own abilities.

"Then you have to buy me two cups of milk tea for free."

Xiao Mou said with a smile.

"Hmm... that's no problem, but... I had an idea just now, would you like to hear it?"

So Huang Bohan told Mu Jiawen about his idea of hiring her as a "food safety consultant for Royal Tea".

"Hire me as a food safety consultant?"

Mu Jiawen wrinkled her little nose.

If someone else had suggested it, and it seemed so fun and related to his profession, Xiao Mou would have agreed without hesitation.

But Huang Bohan...

Is he trying to use this as an excuse to rekindle their old flame?
Xiao Mou wasn't too willing. Let bygones be bygones; why force a relationship if it's not meant to be?

It's good enough to be friends and classmates like this.

"...If you're interested, we can sign a contract first."

Huang Bohan was still talking to himself.

"Do we need to sign a contract?"

Mu Jiawen chuckled lightly. This seemed too formal and a bit too formal.

"correct."

Unexpectedly, Huang Bohan said very seriously, "In business, you have to make a decision first, then you won't make a mess of things."

"So how much salary are you planning to pay me?"

Xiao Mou asked with great interest.

"I just thought about it, and I realized I could also ask a question on the campus BBS, and biology students would probably come and answer it."

Huang Bohan said slowly, "But if it's a problem that's too urgent, then it can't be solved in time, so I still plan to find an acquaintance in the biology field and hire him as this consultant."

Mu Jiawen finally sensed something was wrong: "So, before you contacted me, you actually considered posting on BBS?"

"Correct."

Huang Bohan specifically emphasized: "They are [free], but the timeliness cannot be guaranteed."

"So, they only contacted me because of the time-sensitive nature of the situation."

Mu Jiawen seemed a little unsure and couldn't believe that Huang Bohan was so rational, so she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there any other reason?"

"Yes, there are some."

Huang Bohan smiled sheepishly: "If I ask someone else, I'm worried that I might bother them if there are too many questions."

"Then I'm not afraid of being disturbed?!"

A nameless rage suddenly rose in Xiao Mu's heart.

So it turns out I was just being delusional.

I was worried that Mr. Huang might try to pull a personal connection, but I didn't expect that after considering everything, you thought I was the most convenient option.

What an excellent "businessman"!
"It will be a little disruptive."

Huang Bohan said, "But we pay salaries monthly."

"How many?"

Xiao Mou's tone had turned cold.

"Well... I could have asked someone on the BBS for free..."

Huang Bohan brought up this reason again, just like bargaining before a sale—this thing could have been free, so the price can't be too high.

"How many times do I need to ask you!"

Xiao Mou abruptly interrupted.

"Monthly subscription: 200".

"Beep beep..."

Mu Jiawen hung up the phone without hesitation.

Damn it, that's the mindset of a cold-blooded capitalist.
