Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

This lively and busy scene continued until 2 p.m. before it finally stopped. After seeing off the last customer, Lu Yuan was finally able to sit down and catch his breath.

Lu Qin, who was in front, had a sore back, a hoarse voice, and no strength to even speak.

The others looked similar, as if they were about to collapse from exhaustion.

Lu Yuan looked at everyone's expressions and said with a smile.

"Thank you all for your hard work today, but we still need to go to lunch separately. Half of you go first, and the rest of you wait a little while and will come over to take turns later."

"Let the ladies go ahead and eat; we'll wait a little while."

When there was a lot of foot traffic before, they didn't even have a chance to rest, let alone stop to eat. Now they finally have a chance to rest.

Su Qing and Su Jiancheng nodded, indicating that they had no problem with this approach and that they would have done so even without Lu Yuan's suggestion.

Lu Qin glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you going to eat something first?"

"You guys go ahead, if it really doesn't work out, the rest of us can have some milk tea to tide us over."

Lu Yuan spoke with a smile.

He wasn't joking. The group had been working since before dawn and hadn't eaten anything, so they couldn't keep going.

Moreover, although working at a milk tea shop is not complicated, serving so many people must be exhausting. People don't even have time to eat, so if they can't take it anymore, they go to the back to have a cup of milk tea.

Lu Yuan glanced at the two people behind him, who were drenched in sweat, and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Once things calm down in the next couple of days, I'll have someone come and install an air conditioner so you won't feel hot in the summer."

"Really? Boss is awesome!"

Su Qing smiled when she heard this.

Back when I worked in a shopping mall, I never got to enjoy such treatment. Forget about air conditioning; I was lucky if I even had a place to rest on a regular day.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Lu Yuan smiled and said.

"I think it will be a bit tiring when we first open, and we got up a bit too early today. If time allows, we can take turns resting in the afternoon."

"I saw it this morning too. There's no need for so many people to get up early. From now on, we can just split into two groups. One group will get up early and the other group will be responsible for cleaning. Everyone will take turns."

"That's a good idea. If we do that, we'll have more freedom in our schedules."

Su Jiancheng nodded and smiled upon hearing this.

While they were chatting, Lu Yuan saw a student in a school uniform walk over, look at the lemonade, and ask.

"Big brother, what's the price of the lemonade here?"

"Three yuan a cup, and they always have ice."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

The child paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then considered the matter in his mind.

"Alright then, give me fifty cups."

"How many?"

When Lu Yuan heard the number, the smile on his face froze slightly; the number truly surprised him.

Looking at his school uniform, Lu Yuan laughed.

"You're not out buying supplies, are you? Running errands for a classmate?"

"Um."

The student nodded and said with a smile.

"I heard from my classmates today that your lemonade is delicious, and everyone in our class wants some, so I came out to get it."

"Oh, I see. But can you carry so much lemonade by yourself?"

Lu Yuan looked at him and asked a question.

"It should be fine, our school isn't far from here."

"Okay, but you'll have to wait a bit. Our people have gone out to eat. It'll take about ten minutes for just a few people to make fifty cups of lemonade."

After hearing him say that, Lu Yuan took the initiative to bring it up.

The other person smiled, nodded, and said...

"No problem, I can wait."

"it is good."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan and Su Qing started making it together. After making a cup, he handed it to the other person first.

The student's eyes lit up after taking a sip.

"Boss, your lemonade tastes completely different, it's really delicious, I've never seen anything like it at school."

"That's for sure, it's an exclusive product."

While helping out, Lu Yuan chatted with the child.

"How many people at your school know about Snow King Milk Tea?"

"There are quite a few. They all want to come and try it out. However, most of us live on campus here and want to come and try it out. I'm a day student here, so I'm helping out by showing them around."

The child smiled and spoke.

After Lu Yuan packed everything up, he specially found a cardboard box to put it in, and then asked with a smile.

"Can you carry this? If not, I'll take it to you."

"It's okay, I can do it."

The child smiled shyly, shook his head, and then began to speak.

As he was about to leave, he suddenly asked a question.

"Big brother, can I ask you a question?"

"you say."

"If I want to buy milk tea here again in the future, could I tell you the night before and have it prepared in advance?"

That child is a student after all, so it's not realistic for him to come and buy things every day. It would be better for him to help his classmates buy things every now and then.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan said with a hint of helplessness.

"These things all need to be prepared in advance, and if there's ice, it can't be prepared too far in advance. You need to tell me the pickup time first so I can prepare it before then."

"By the way, could you please tell other people in the school about this, not just the students in your class, but others as well?"

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then smiled and spoke.

Milk tea is different from other things. Some older adults don't like it at all, but young people and students especially like to drink it.

If she can seize this opportunity, it will be a huge business opportunity for him, and he is well aware of this.

Upon hearing this, the student bowed to him and spoke somewhat anxiously.

"Thank you so much, boss. I'll let you know next time I come."

"Drive carefully."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

When Lu Qin came downstairs, she was a little surprised to hear what Lu Yuan said.

"Are these children our customers?"

"Major clients."

Lu Yuan looked at her and, seeing that she seemed to understand, explained with a smile.

"You don't understand. If half of the thousands of children in the school could come and spend money here, it would be a great opportunity for us."

"Is that so?"

Lu Qin feigned disbelief.

Lu Yuan smiled at her but didn't say anything before getting up to eat.
