Space Farming: The Rough Man Orion Dotes on His Wife Excessively

The smile on Bieye's lips deepened, and he looked into Gu Rao's eyes and said seriously, "I have confidence in myself."

It's that she doesn't have confidence in him.

Gu Rao thought that his comfort had an effect, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart. He didn't want to continue the heavy topic, so he stood up and said, "The milkman should be arriving soon. I'll go out and take a look."

Biyeye hummed.

Gu Rao calculated the time very accurately. As soon as she came out of the main room, the cattle dealer came in carrying a load.

"All the milk for today is here."

Gu Rao sent the cattle dealer out.

Bieye brought the milk to the kitchen.

"I……"

Gu Rao didn't wait for him to speak, pushed him out and said, "You can guard the casserole rice noodle stall outside. There are many customers now, and I can handle it all by myself in the kitchen."

-

The preparation of dairy products is very simple. In less than an hour, Gu Rao prepared milk cake, ginger juice, red bean milk cake and fruit milk sago.

Gu Rao knew that a large part of the reason for the good purchase of desserts yesterday was because the customers had not tried them before and were willing to spend money to try them out. Business may not be so good every day.

Yesterday, a bucket of milk-made cakes was not sold out, and today there was an extra bucket. If they were all made into cakes, there would probably be more leftover.

Therefore, to be conservative, she only used one bucket of milk to make dessert, and the remaining bucket was intended to be used to make milk tea.

The weather is hot today, so there should be a lot of people buying drinks.

After packing up all the milk produced by the cow dealer's mother every day, she decided to sell milk tea. However, today was still too sudden, and it was too late to prepare many things now.

Gu Rao planned to make the simplest milk tea today, and when she had enough time tomorrow, she would make milk tea companions such as pearls, coconuts, red beans, taro paste, and turtle paste.

Today we only make three flavors of milk tea, namely black tea, green tea and oolong tea. Take out about half a catty of each tea leaves and put them into a large iron basin with boiling water to soak.

Pour white sugar into the pot and stir-fry until caramel color appears. Pour a large pot of black tea water into it. Add some tea leaves and water. The ratio of milk to water is about one to five. Simmer over low heat. Finally add one-third. of milk, simmer it over low heat for a while, and then pour it out without waiting for it to boil.

The remaining two milk teas are cooked in the same way as black tea milk tea.

One bucket of milk makes six buckets of milk tea.

The milk tea bucket was quite big, filled to the brim and covered with a lid. She couldn't lift it by herself, so she had to let Bie Ye come in to help.

When Bieye saw the milk tea, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"so much?"

Gu Rao said helplessly, "I bought too much milk, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sell it out if I made it into a dessert, so I thought of making it into milk tea. I plan to make some ice. Milk tea with ice is a great tool to relieve the heat in summer. It should be easy to sell. .”

Bieye, "..."

"Ice, can you make it?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"of course."

"I teach you."

Although Bieye was very curious about how ice was made, he still said rationally, "Let's learn it next time. Business is busy now and I can't leave for too long."

Gu Rao nodded.

"it is good."

Then they discussed, "How much do you think the milk tea should be sold for?"

Bieye asked, "What kind of tea is it? How much did it cost?"

Gu Rao said, "The black tea, green tea and oolong tea used this time are about one hundred and fifty cents per catty. Each type of tea uses about half a catty. The tea leaves used in these six barrels of milk tea cost only about one hundred and fifty. arts."

Bieye said, "Then let's pay ten cents a cup."

Gu Rao, "..."

"Is it too high?"

Although in the world she lived in in her previous life, the price of pure milk and pure tea was higher than this. The cheaper ones cost seventeen, eighty-nine, a cup, and the more expensive ones cost twenty or thirty, but considering the living standards of people in this era, , she was still a little worried that ten cents a cup was too expensive for ordinary people.

Bieye seemed to have guessed that his wife would say this, and there was no surprised expression on his face.

"A pot of tea in the teahouse costs five cents a pot. It uses the cheapest brick tea. You use good tea leaves and add milk and sugar. Why can't you sell it for ten cents a cup?"

Gu Rao was stunned when he heard this.

"From what you said, ten cents a cup seems really not that expensive, but in the teahouse it costs five cents a pot, but here it costs ten cents a cup..."

"Is anyone really willing to buy it?"

Bieye looked helpless.

"You always seem to be afraid that others can't afford it?"

Gu Rao, "..."

It's impossible to refute, because she really thinks so. Her impression of ancient people is too solidified, and she probably won't be able to correct it for a while. She doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Bieye said, "Milk tea costs ten cents a cup, and if you add ice, you'll need two cents more."

Gu Rao, "!"

It turns out that the profiteers are around!

Bieye looked at his wife's shocked expression, amused and helpless, "Although you can make ice yourself, others can't. The price of ice is already expensive, and selling it for two cents is cheap."

Gu Rao said quickly, "Two cents is enough, don't raise the price any more!"

Bieye, "It won't rise."

A customer outside called out to the boss, and the conversation between the couple had to be interrupted. Bieye said something to Gu Rao, and easily picked up two buckets of milk tea with both hands and went out.

-

Gu Rao's method of making ice is to use saltpeter to make ice.

First prepare ten iron basins, pour some water into the iron basins, and then put ten iron basins smaller than the large iron basins into the ten iron basins. Fill the small iron basins with cold boiled water.

Finally, pour saltpeter into the large basin.

After about two quarters of an hour, the water in the basin finally solidified into ice.

-

It was natural for Bieye to do the ice-breaking work, and it was Gu Rao who guarded the stall outside. It was not until the time when the milk tea was sold that he realized that there was no special cup for selling milk tea.

She and Bieye did have two special cups for drinking milk tea, but she was reluctant to take them out for others to use, so she had to sell them in big bowls for the time being.

"Boss Gu, no matter how delicious your milk tea is, it's just water and can't fill your stomach. It's a bit unkind to sell it for ten cents a bowl, right?"

"Who would spend ten cents on a bowl of water?"

Gu Rao had long expected that there would be some obstacles when the milk tea business just started, and he said without changing his face, "The raw materials used in milk tea are expensive, and we can't make much profit even if it costs ten cents a bowl."

As for the specific raw materials, it is not convenient to disclose them to outsiders.

However, smart people should have guessed that it won’t be long before someone cracks the secret of milk tea. By then, they will definitely come to grab business again.

She is not worried about anyone taking away her business. As long as her milk tea tastes the best, she is not worried about others taking away her business.

Although most people were waiting and watching, there were still some who bought milk tea with enough money.

“Delicious!”

"I feel like it's too hot, my mouth is dry, and there's still no taste in my mouth. This milk tea is very thirst-quenching and delicious. Boss, give me another bowl of oolong milk tea!"

In a short time, five bowls of milk tea were sold.

Gu Rao breathed a sigh of relief.

The current situation is much better than she imagined when no one cared about her.

Bieye came out with a bucket of ice cubes.

"I only smashed two basins of ice and the bucket was full. Let's smash the rest when the bucket of ice is used up."

Gu Rao nodded.

"It's okay. The whole block melts slower. If you put it outside, it will melt easily in the sun. When these ice blocks are used up, take out the rest."

"By the way, put two big basins of ice under the eaves so that people who come to eat casserole rice noodles in our yard can also stay cooler."

"You can't eat the ice in the big basin. Use it at home to cool down."
