Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Before dawn, Lu Yuan had already gotten up, washed, and tidied himself up. After that, he tiptoed out of the house and slowly walked towards the shop.

The milk tea shop opens a little later than Friendship Supermarket. After all, it's a beverage shop, and nobody goes there before dawn to buy milk tea.

However, this is Lu Yuan's first time running a milk tea shop, and he is worried that some unexpected things might happen that he has not noticed. He also wants to try his best to avoid these things from happening.

He was planning to go there sooner.

He had just opened the door with his key when he found the inside already brightly lit. Hu Lili had just wiped her face and was about to open the door to let in some fresh air.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, her sleepy eyes widened in surprise.

"Brother? Why are you here so early?"

"Has everyone else arrived?"

Lu Yuan was momentarily stunned when he saw the figure bustling about inside.

Although he had made some modifications to the kitchen, it was originally used for making breakfast, so it was a few square meters larger than a typical milk tea shop. However, it still felt a bit crowded when four or five people went in.

Hu Lili said from the side.

"I don't know what's wrong. I didn't feel nervous before, but I just can't sleep tonight. I feel uneasy and keep feeling like something bad is going to happen."

"Maybe it's because it's your first time opening a store, you're just excited."

Lu Yuan smiled and found a place to sit down.

He really wanted to go up and help, but he had already asked several people for help at first, so there was no one to help with now. He simply helped wipe the table and such.

The table was already shiny from wiping it yesterday, but since it's far away today, I'll continue wiping it.

"Brother, are you nervous too?"

After seeing Lu Yuan's reaction, Hu Lili asked a question out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan didn't think about how to refute it. He simply looked at the person in front of him and calmly spoke.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous. I'm a little worried that things won't go as I expect."

He chuckled as he spoke, turning his gaze to Lu Qin, who was carrying out a small dish of condiments, and asked with great curiosity.

"I always thought someone like you wouldn't get nervous."

"How could I not be nervous?"

Lu Qin rubbed her temples. This was the first day of Xue Wang Milk Tea's opening, and she regarded it as the first step in her life.

Moreover, she couldn't say she was nervous; to be more precise, she was excited.

I'm too excited to sleep.

"Everyone, relax. You've all practiced a lot these past few days, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Just follow the steps, and you should do very well."

Lu Yuan glanced into the kitchen, where several people were either brewing tea or cooking tapioca pearls. Su Qing and Su Jiancheng carried the prepared tea to the front counter.

The group worked efficiently and methodically, giving Lu Yuan no chance to interfere.

Actually, there's another reason why everyone is so concerned: they've been distributing flyers for over ten days.

Distributing flyers in this sweltering heat is hardly something to be enjoyed.

Lu Yuan had originally intended to help, but seeing that he probably couldn't, he simply went out to buy food.

It's not even six o'clock yet, but the sky is already slightly bright. Shanghai is very lively at night, but the morning is a completely different scene.

Early risers rush out of their homes and ride their bikes across half the city to get to work.

The breakfast shops in the vicinity open very early, and now you can already see people eating in some of them.

Lu Yuan thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect that someone had arrived even earlier than him.

He found a breakfast shop and bought some breakfast with someone: steamed buns, tea eggs, and packaged soy milk.

We'll bring it back to the shop so everyone can eat it before we get back to work.

Actually, milk tea shops don't prepare many ingredients, so if you come alone, it can be a bit chaotic.

It's much faster when several people are together.

The fruit in the condiment area has been prepared, the tapioca pearls have been packed in a tin box, and the tea that was prepared long ago is now neatly arranged.

Besides these, other things have also been mostly dealt with.

After seeing him arrive, everyone sat down and ate their meal before continuing their work.

Now that Lu Qin had become the assistant store manager, she started assigning tasks to everyone. One person was in charge of collecting money, two people were in charge of making milk tea, two people were in charge of preparing ingredients, and one person was in charge of being a substitute, helping out wherever needed.

The layout of Xue Wang Milk Tea Shop is completely different from other shops. There is a milk tea making station with a pre-printed menu in front of it, which is located on another floor of the shop.

There were large floor-to-ceiling windows and seven or eight tables.

These tables all appear to be made of solid wood, and they look exceptionally elegant under the lights, making them a perfect place for people to sit down and relax.

Above, there was soft lighting, green leaves that had been arranged to hang down, and various colorful flags.

At first, Lu Yuan thought that the most troublesome thing about opening his shop was preparing the ingredients, but he found out after they actually started preparing.

The most troublesome thing was actually the decoration.

Besides the colorful flags falling from above, there were other things, such as balloons and flower baskets.

They were all taken up there one by one.

It wasn't until after 8 o'clock that the work was finally completed.

Lu Yuan originally planned to open the door around 10 o'clock, but soon people came over out of curiosity.

"How much is this milk tea?"

"Sorry, we are not open yet."

Lu Yuan glanced at the figure outside the door. Judging from the appearance of the person dealing with him, he seemed to be an office worker. He just came over and asked a question casually.

He hesitated for a moment before deciding to refuse him.

To everyone's surprise, the other person seemed a little disappointed: "I thought it was already open. I received your flyer before and was a bit curious about this place. Since it's not open, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback and turned to look at Lu Qin.

The latter also looked at him.

After all, it's the first time we've opened, so we have to be a bit more formal. What would it be like if we opened earlier?

But now that we already have a customer, wouldn't it be a huge loss for us to just let this customer go? Is this going to be a bad idea? Should we just let them stay?

The idea flashed through Lu Yuan's mind for a moment, and he immediately had the answer, so he smiled and said.

"Brother, please wait a moment, we'll open the door shortly."

"When will I have to wait? I have to go to work later."

"Three minutes."
