In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 211 Lemonade with 4 Copper Soul Coins, Seriously, it contains lemons!

"Are you really selling it for 4 copper soul coins a cup?"

Seeing this, Xu Sanshi scratched his head.

If I remember correctly, bottled water sold near Xingluo Square costs 1 Silver Soul Coin per bottle.

Lemonade, judging from its name, should be a lemon-flavored beverage.

After all, they're already selling it for 4 copper soul coins a cup, they can't possibly actually add lemon, right?

"of course."

Without Jiang Nannan present, Xu Sanshi was relatively normal.

The only comment Bai Ran could give was: a simp who ends up with nothing (or everything).

"Then, shall we make a few drinks for everyone to try?"

If it were a drink that cost 4 silver soul coins or even 4 gold soul coins, Xu Sanshi probably wouldn't be interested.

Because the drinks we usually consume are all products in this price range.

Can I get 4 copper soul coins?
If you take it to a nearby store, you might not even be able to buy a cup of water.

"God, make a glass of lemonade for each of the guests."

Although so many people came, things didn't go as planned by Bai Ran.

However, it can only be said that the impact is not significant.

It's good that Dai Yueheng didn't come.

Of course, given the current relationship between Huo Yuhao and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, it's impossible for him to invite Dai Yueheng to come along.

It's fortunate that Dai Yueheng had already gone to Shrek Academy and didn't participate in bullying Huo Yun'er and her son.

Otherwise, in this competition, there would be Dai Yueheng but not Huo Yuhao, or Huo Yuhao but not Dai Yueheng.

"Manager, how many cups are we making if we only make one?"

The downside of holiday work is that it can be a bit unwise.

This adorable, slightly silly little girl thought her pregnancy was just a stomachache from eating too much. (Something's not right; we need to unleash the full force of 7.62!)

"Uh... make six cups."

Bai Ran said with a hint of helplessness.

"Good store manager."

Holiday jobs aren't all bad; besides being cheaper, they're just as obedient as temporary workers.

Upon receiving the instruction, the goddess standing behind the counter ran to the back to start making lemonade.

To ensure customers can drink with peace of mind, the staff can clearly see the entire process of preparing drinks.

To put it bluntly, at this price, even if I told you the recipe, no one would make it at home.

Because the cost of making it yourself is higher than buying it from Mixue Ice Cream stores.

Shenzi: Isn't the reason we can be seen just because the manager is too lazy to set up a kitchen?

Bai Ran: Haki God, you always talk nonsense and say the truth.

……

"Huh? There really are lemons."

I saw the young female shop assistant take two lemons off the shelf.

The Shrek members were immediately taken aback.

Especially Huo Yuhao.

"Boss Xiaobai, there's no need to make things special for us."

Watching the shop assistant, Xiao Shenzi, put several slices of lemon into a cup as if it were free.

Just looking at him made Huo Yuhao feel a little sorry for him.

A few simple slices of lemon are already worth more than 4 copper soul coins.

"No, our Mixue Ice Cream lemonade is just like this."

Bai Ran declared: "I didn't do anything special. Normal lemonade is like this—freshly cut lemons, sold on the spot, and with a certain amount of honey added. Otherwise, where do you think my faith comes from?"

"Really? Boss Bai?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat skeptical.

"real."

Bai Ran nodded.

"Then aren't you making a losing deal?"

When Huo Yuhao first heard that a cup of Luckin Coffee iced Americano, which cost 9.9 gold soul coins and could boost mental strength, was actually a losing proposition for Bai Ran, Huo Yuhao thought that Bai Ran was making a losing deal.

Ultimately, Luckin Coffee is a natural martial spirit, a business with no initial investment. Selling it for 9.9 gold soul coins simply means earning less.

But this iced lemonade, which costs 4 copper soul coins a cup, actually contains real fresh lemons.

Not counting the cup, water, and other additives, just a few slices of lemon cost several copper soul coins.

The young boss was ultimately too inexperienced and simply didn't know how to do business.

Bai Ran: You're not much better off, selling a grilled fish for 5 copper soul coins.

Huo Yuhao: That's different. I caught the fish myself, and I borrowed the grill from the cafeteria lady. I make a pure profit of 5 copper soul coins for every fish I sell.

"You should still be able to make some money, right?"

Mixue Ice Cream has experience operating at the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

Leaving aside venue rental fees, just considering other expenses, for a cup of lemonade that sells for 4 copper soul coins, Bai Ran can earn 0.5 copper soul coins.

Moreover, lemons in the Star Luo Empire are cheaper than those in the Sun Moon Empire.

Perhaps at this Mixue Ice Cream & Star City store, a lemonade that costs 4 copper coins might actually earn Bai Ran 0.8 copper coins.

Bai Ran: So what if I don't make a single penny? As long as I can gain customer approval and acquire a group of loyal Mixue Ice Cream fans, then I can start reaping the power of faith. It can't possibly be a losing proposition, right?

"Boss Xiaobai, why don't you open a Luckin Coffee shop next door? At least you can make some money."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the empty seats next to Mixue Ice Cream.

Could this Boss Xiaobai be a disciple from some powerful family who's out here for training?

They bought such a large shop, but only used less than a third of the space, leaving most of it empty.

Huo Yuhao: We can't rule out another possibility: the landlord's foolish son, just like Wang Dong. (Wang Dong: ??? Yuhao, if you keep this up, I'm going to get angry at you.)
……

About five or six minutes later.

Six sealed cups of Mixue Ice Cream lemonade were neatly arranged on the counter.

On average, it takes one minute to make one cup. Even with maximum time utilization, less than 500 cups can be made a day. (An eight-hour workday isn't enough to make such a young employee work more than twelve hours; Bai Ran doesn't want to end up hanging from a streetlamp.)

This is the difference between holiday workers and temporary workers.

A qualified temporary worker can make at least a thousand cups of lemonade a day.

Of course, selling 500 cups and selling 1,000 cups are just different in terms of earning 4 or 8 gold soul coins.

Bai Ran: Shopkeeper, it's not like I'm short of those gold soul coins.

"This is lemonade that costs 4 copper soul coins a cup?"

Bai Ran handed out six glasses of lemonade to the Shrek Academy members.

Among them, Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian are the two girls who are the most incomprehensible.

Girls love going to tea shops like those outside.

Therefore, they can better understand just how valuable a cup of lemonade costing 4 copper soul coins really is.

Just because there are actually lemons in the lemonade, and because the store manager is Yuhao's friend.

Even if the lemonade didn't taste good, the two of them were willing to lie and say it tasted good.

Xiao Xiao: It shouldn't be so bad that it would leave me speechless.

Ning Tian: It shouldn't be that bad, right?

While the two women were still hesitating.

The quietest of them all, Senior Brother Beibei, had already inserted the straw into his cup and taken a big gulp.

Beibei: I'm a little thirsty.
