Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

"Do I need to learn how to use all these instruments?"

"I've never seen any of these before, and I don't know how to do them."

"That's right, look how shiny this table is, and it's made of metal too."

"Not bad, they feel nice to the touch, and these cups look different too."

None of the people had ever heard of milk tea before. Looking at these machines, they felt both curious and unsure of where to start.

Lu Qin was stunned. She thought Lu Yuan was just planning to open a branch, but she didn't expect it to be a completely different place.

"Boss Lu, it's not that we don't want to learn, but can you guarantee that you'll make money by opening this shop?"

"These are not issues you should be concerned with. What you need to do next is learn how to use these things."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Then I started to tell them one by one how to use these things, and also taught them how to operate the machines.

These machines look complicated, but they are actually much simpler than they thought, and most of the operations do not require them to operate them themselves.

Once the ice maker is turned on, you don't need to do anything about it. Just turn it off when the ice plant is full. The sealing device is also easy to use – just pull it.

After he finished learning all of this, Lu Qin looked at him with a strange expression.

"Boss, is it really that simple?"

"Operating machines isn't difficult, and that's not what you need to learn."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.

As he spoke, he opened the cabinet and took out the fruit that had been prepared in advance.

He bought these at the fruit shop early in the morning. He went to several wholesale markets to find the cheapest and best quality fruit.

These fruits and such cannot be redeemed in the system store; you can only sell them yourself.

Besides these, he redeemed various ingredient kits for making milk tea at the store, and they weren't cheap.

"Next, I will tell you how to do it. The first step is to boil water."

"There are two water heaters in total, and they usually operate at the same time. Running a milk tea shop is not difficult in practice; the complicated part is preparing the ingredients."

"The water shouldn't be boiling, but at 90 degrees Celsius. There are a lot of buckets here. After putting the tea leaves in, fill them with water. I've memorized the proportions on this card. Next, after steeping the tea for ten minutes, take out the tea leaves, bring over the thermos for the tea, add ice cubes, and then pour it in."

Bubble tea shops may seem complicated, but they're actually quite complex.

The most important part is preparing the ingredients, which has to start at eight o'clock in the morning.

Currently, there are only four large containers for holding tea: green tea, jasmine tea, purified water, and milk tea. Each container has a tap at the bottom, so you can simply pull it to use the water when needed.

After explaining how to brew tea, Lu Yuan then told them how to cook pearls and how to process coconut jelly.

Next is the processing of fruit. Currently, the store has two types of fruit on hand: lemons and watermelons. Lemons need to be sliced, while watermelons need to be peeled and cut into small pieces.

After finishing all that, Lu Yuan looked at the group and asked them a question.

"Have you learned it?"

"I've memorized them all for now..."

The five people remained silent for half of the night. When one of them spoke, he didn't say that he remembered it; instead, he seemed a little unsure of himself.

I always felt that this was really difficult.

Lu Qin then asked a question.

"Is this the milk tea you were talking about?"

"This is just the preparation of materials; the production process will follow, but you need to memorize all the steps before that."

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples in exasperation. He had tried this before, and it wasn't actually that difficult; once you got the hang of it, it was fine.

"We have three days to make contact. From now on, two of you will be responsible for preparing the ingredients each day. You need to get familiar with these things as soon as possible."

"I've already memorized it all, so I don't think it should be too difficult to actually do it."

Lu Qin nodded and pointed to the notebook in her hand.

Lu Yuan had already prepared an operating procedure, but she still wrote it down herself.

The other four people looked at him with astonishment when they heard this.

Lu Qin paused for a moment, then spoke up.

"If you don't know, you can come and ask me, and I will try my best to tell you."

"Since it's a new store opening, we'll be starting with five items for now. You guys know how to handle the ice cream, so I won't go into details. The next five new items are green tea, jasmine tea, bubble tea, lemonade, and watermelon juice."

The new product looks complicated, but it's actually quite simple; at least that's Lu Yuan's opinion.

He stated his plan directly and then began to take action.

First, put in the toppings, then pour in the milk tea, seal the bag, and serve. Five servings of milk tea were made in no time.

Lu Qin opened her mouth and took a sip, her eyes lighting up.

"It tastes so good, it's much better than a beverage."

"Really, this doesn't seem that difficult?"

Su Qing paused for a moment, then said something from the side.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips, too lazy to explain anything, because this matter was actually much more difficult than they thought, because it wasn't like that at all.

He had more than a dozen milk tea recipes in his mind, such as mint milk green tea, brown sugar milk tea, mango pomelo sago, etc. It's not that they can't make them, but they wouldn't be able to handle making too many at once.

Let's take it one step at a time.

He looked at the person in front of him and said something.

"Once you know what to do, do it one by one. Don't let anyone else get away with it."

"it is good."

Among the group, Lu Qin learned the fastest, without needing any corrections. The others were a little slower, but they all remembered it.

Once you get more proficient, that's all you need to do.

Then Lu Yuan began to teach them how to make several other types of milk tea.

They all look simple, but there are a lot of things to pay attention to. Take watermelon juice for example, it's not actually made from freshly squeezed watermelon.

It's made by crushing a piece of watermelon with ice, then putting a lid on it and drinking it.

It tastes refreshing, and you don't have to worry about getting your hands dirty.

After some practice, the area in front of the group was soon filled with milk tea.

Although there weren't many varieties, if you practiced each one a few times, the quantity would add up to quite a lot. Before long, they had over a hundred cups of milk tea in front of them.

Lu Qin stared blankly at the large quantity of milk tea for a moment, then touched the tip of her nose and said...

"We can't let all this milk tea go to waste. I suggest we take it out and give it away now. It will also help boost sales."

I think so too.

I second that.

Everyone else was overjoyed when they heard about this solution and nodded in agreement, saying they would run the errand.

Looking at their expressions, Lu Yuan shook his head slightly and spoke in a rather stern tone.

"I have received everyone's opinions, but have you considered that these are all failures? By sending them out, you are only damaging our reputation."
