Getting rich in chronology

Of course, Shen Qiao was no stranger to such things as patents.

Before coming to this time and space, Shen Qiao carried a number of patent ownership on his back, and the annual patent fees alone are countless.

Although the salary of the Imperial Research Institute is very high, it is still a bit far from buying a habitable planet. The planet he bought himself was mostly funded by patent income.

But he really didn't expect that the sealing machine that took half a month to make could even apply for a patent.

To him, this kind of thing really has no technical content. The reason why it took more than ten days was not because of any technical difficulties in making it, but because of the lack of materials and tools, which delayed the progress.

What's more, the sealing machine is made according to Chen Yu's description, because it has to be made according to his needs.

But now Shen Yu said that this thing can apply for a patent...

Shen Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely sensed a trace of abnormality.

Chen Yu described the sealing machine to him, what functions, how to use and even what it looked like, he seemed to know everything, but he didn't understand the working principle.

It's not the kind of clarity that is achieved because of my own imagination, but that I have seen it before, so I understand it.

Not only the sealing machine, but also the other things that Chen Yu wanted were not imagined out of thin air. His needs were very clear, he needed to be able to seal, roast food, heat hot water and so on.

At first he thought that these things already existed, but Chen Yu couldn't buy them, so he asked him to make them.

He knew that it was said that other countries in this world had a more advanced level of technological development than the country he was in.

He took a deep look at Chen Yu, maybe the little guy was also hiding a secret that he didn't know.

Chen Yu touched his face: "See what I am doing?"

If he made the sealing machine himself, he would not apply for a patent, because he knew that he did not invent it.

But he told Shen Qiao that he only said what kind of function he wanted, he didn't know the specific principles, and Shen Qiao made it up by himself.

For example, if he told Shen Qiao that he wanted a cooling machine for summer use, then Shen Qiao made the air conditioner.

Of course it was Shen Qiao's credit, not his.

The same is true for the sealing machine. He told Shen Qiao that he wanted a machine with good airtightness that could seal the plastic film on the mouth of the cup. Of course, it should not be his credit that Shen Qiao made the sealing machine.

"I didn't see anything." Shen Qiao shook his head.

If there is a secret, let it be, he is not hiding a big secret.

"It's weird." Chen Yu muttered, "Then I'll apply for a patent for you."

"Okay." Shen Qiao smiled, and told him a piece of good news by the way: "The protective clothing is almost ready."

He found that ceramics in this world are a very interesting material. Putting clay in the fire and burning it can produce such beautiful and special creations.

The protective clothing he made before was tough enough, but not strong enough.

This is indeed good news. Although with Brother Bing's security team, the safety hazards he worried about have been reduced by half, but it is better to have protective clothing, double insurance.

Before seeing what the Shenqiao version of the protective clothing looks like, the milk tea shop opened first.

I didn't pick any auspicious days, mainly because if it doesn't open again, it will be summer vacation.

On the opening day, Chen Yu was still in class, Shen Qiao went to take a look at the affairs of the store, and the main person in charge was the acting store manager Wu Sanni.

The milk tea shop is not like Shenji Malatang. The old store has accumulated customers from Shen Yu’s stalls, and the branch stores have old stores to advertise.

The milk tea shop is completely new, and many people don't even know what milk tea is.

Chen Yu has already prepared for the business to be deserted when it first opened. After all, it is a new gadget, and the price is not cheap. It is normal that the business is not good before it has a word of mouth.

However, what people didn't expect was that the business on the first day was not as bad as Chen Yu imagined.

"They were all attracted by the wall paintings." Shen Qiao told Chen Yu when he came back.

The class teacher thought that painting the walls was just painting the inside of the house, but in fact the exterior walls can also be used for wall painting.

For the exterior wall of the milk tea shop, we adjusted the fresh background color and made the wall painting in the same style as the interior, but added some tables and cartoon villains.

Because Shenji Malatang has increased the flow of people on this street, many people have seen the beautiful wall paintings outside the milk tea shop.

Compared with the ordinary white putty walls of other shops on the same street, and some walls are even peeled off and mottled, the style of the milk tea shop is simply outstanding.

Therefore, some people noticed this store early in the morning, and some people who were bold enough came to inquire about what this store sells.

There was a shop that was well-decorated and there were beautiful paintings on the walls. The news spread, and many interested people came to see it.

Especially those college students, unlike later generations, there are countless entertainment activities.

Watching movies, going to the park, climbing mountains, dancing ballroom dancing, etc. are their after-school entertainment.

Moreover, they accept new things quickly and are willing to accept new things. Some people say that they are good-looking and interesting, so many students come to join in the fun.

So they knew that this was a newly opened milk tea shop.

As for what milk tea is, some say that ethnic minorities have the habit of drinking milk tea shops, is it that?

Some people also said that he drank that kind of milk tea before, it was too oily, and he was not used to it.

More people don't understand and have never drunk milk tea. Hearing students say this, they are a little disappointed, but they still hope.

This store is so beautifully decorated, maybe the milk tea is different?

So on the opening day, curious guests came to join in the fun one after another.

After the signboard was exposed, a group of people were laughed down first.

"The name of this store is strange."

"No, it's actually called a milk tea shop, how funny."

"You guys don't understand this. People say that they have a room. It may mean that everyone has a family. It's a good meaning."

Shen Qiao:?

Isn't this something that Chen Yu made up indiscriminately because he couldn't figure out the name?

"It makes sense, it makes sense, it must be what it means."

"And it is indeed a store, with a pun, and the boss is a cultural person."

Cultural person Shen Yu: Thank you?

Maybe this is the so-called reading analysis.

After entering, everyone couldn't wait to look around. The beautiful wall paintings, smooth floor tiles, and exquisite tables and chairs did not have the bulkiness of most furniture in this era.

Any small decoration is so delicate that people can't put it down.

Even the clerks are wearing clean and tidy work uniforms, with hat brims on the chest, embroidered with small paper cups of milk tea, half surrounded by cursive characters "Youjian Milk Tea".

However, Shen Ji Malatang's clerks were also wearing neat uniforms, so everyone was not surprised and didn't pay much attention.

After many people came in, they forgot that they came to buy a milk tea shop, and first looked at the decoration and furnishings in the shop.

Several girls got together and whispered: "This is too beautiful!"

"Yes, I really like that porcelain kitten. It's chubby and waving. It's so cute."

Chen Yu: That's a lucky cat.

"Are these two dolls made of straw? It's so interesting!"

"I like that, that little orange is so cute, is it a real orange?"

"I like this doll too, may I ask if you sell this doll?"

Wu Sanni, the trained acting store manager, smiled politely: "Sorry, we are a milk tea shop, and we only sell what's on the menu. These are decorations in the shop, not for sale outside."

He was smiling on the surface, but his heart was beating drums, for fear that he would screw up and let the little boss down.

"Not for sale..."

"It's a pity, I want to buy it too."

"But we're here to try milk tea."

"Yes, what is your milk tea like and how do you sell it?"

"This is the menu, please take a look." Wu Sanni pointed to the large menu on the wall behind the counter.

Several little girls raised their heads together, and then exclaimed in unison: "It's so expensive!"

It's really expensive, a cup of milk tea costs more than one yuan, which is enough for them to have a small fried meal in the cafeteria, and it's still the kind with big meat.

"Still buying it?" Several people looked at each other and hesitated.

It's too expensive, I don't know what kind of things, just buy it casually, it costs more than one yuan, if it doesn't taste good, thank you!

I just left like this, and I was not too reconciled. After all, I had been looking forward to it for several days, and I came here on purpose today.

"Can it be cheaper?" a girl asked.

"I'm sorry." Wu Sanni continued to smile. The boss said that when she didn't know how to answer an unreasonable request, she just apologized and smiled.

"Ah...it can't be cheap." The girl said regretfully.

"Then shall we still buy it?"

"I don't want to buy it. It's too expensive. It's better to go to the side to eat Malatang. I miss their spicy oil so much."

"I also think it's too expensive, but I still want to try."

"Or let's chip in and buy a cup first." A girl came up with an idea: "There are six of us, and the cheapest original milk tea is only [-] cents per person."

"Okay ok, I can."

"I agree."

In the end, only one girl insisted not to buy it, and the other five girls were going to pool their money to buy a cup and try it first.

"Want to buy the original flavor?"

"I want to drink that caramel."

"I want pearls. What's bubble tea like? Like pearls?"

"I want to drink chocolate! Can milk tea taste like chocolate?"

"Chocolate is not good. It's too expensive. It costs one yuan and six."

"That's right, bubble tea is only one yuan and five."

The girls originally planned to buy only the cheapest original milk tea to try, but after chatting and discussing it, they finally bought pearl milk tea.

There are five of them, and it is easy to divide, and thirty cents per person is enough.

"Okay, please find a seat and sit down first, and the milk tea will be served to you immediately." Wu Sanni said politely, and turned to order other shop assistants to start making milk tea.

Some customers who did not leave found that it is really a good idea to combine orders, which can save money and taste something new.

So I came with my friends, and they all discussed to make up the bill together, ordering a cup first to taste the taste.

The pearl milk tea that was ordered first was ready, and the clerk brought the milk tea over, along with a spoon and a straw.

"The color is a bit strange..."

"I think it's okay... Wow, it smells good."

"Come on, try, try..."

"I'll try it first." A girl took a sip first, and everyone else stared at her, and some guests also looked over curiously.

"how is it going?"

"tasty?"

The girl drank it through a straw. She sucked a few pearls in one sip, chewing on them. The texture of the pearls and the smoothness of the milk tea were mixed together, which was a wonderful feeling she had never tasted before.

"I'll take another sip, but I don't have any taste." The girl said to her companion solemnly, and then, while the others were watching, she took a big gulp.

companion:"……"

"Ah! Nana, you liar!"

"I want to try it too..."

"I also want!"

The girls scrambled to take a big sip each. The milk tea tasted silky and sweet, and the pearl Q bomb was soft and waxy. They liked it everywhere, and they liked it everywhere.

Although a large cup is not a lot, but there are many of them, five people can drink two sips each.

The girl who didn't pay, saw that her companions agreed, and felt a little regretful in her heart.

It's only [-] cents, and it's not that I can't afford it, so why don't you agree? Now that it's all over, they have tasted something, so I can only watch.

"It's delicious, this milk tea smells so good!"

"I love pearls, it's delicious."

"All good, I like this pearl milk tea."

"I like it too. I want to buy a cup and bring it home for my mother to taste. She likes to drink sugar water. I think this is better than sugar water."

"How do you bring this, or you can bring a cup next time."

Wu Sanni spoke at the right time: "Our store provides take-out, and there are paper cups for take-out. Do you need it?"

"Will the paper cup leak?" This was a curious question from other customers who were ordering.

"No, we have gone through many tests. It will not leak in normal storage, but it cannot be violently bumped and squeezed."

No one would throw their own milk tea if they have nothing to do. The guests didn't think it was a problem.

Even if they use their own cups to fill water, it will leak if they drop it.

"What kind of cup, can I have a look?" asked the girl who said she wanted to bring a cup for her mother.

Wu Sanni showed her a paper cup: "It's like this, the sealing is made of plastic film, so it won't leak."

"This cup is also very beautiful."

"Yeah, it's really pretty, and it's thick to the touch, as if it won't leak."

"It's quite big too, so it should hold a lot."

"There is also a picture on it. What is it? It looks like an orange."

"It's a lemon." Wu Sanni said, "This is a fruit series cup set. There are also patterns: strawberries, apples, pears, grapes, cherries, peaches, lychees, and watermelons. There are nine types in total. If you get all of them together, you can exchange them for free." A cup of any milk tea."

This is also Chen Yu's idea. The mugs in the store are in a literary style, and the paper cups for take-out are printed with a series of patterns. For the time being, there is only a fruit series.

When the cake shop opens, it will start to print the cake series, which can be exchanged for a small cake for free.

If you want to open another store, such as a fried chicken restaurant, you can print fried chicken wings, fried chicken tenders, fried chicken cutlets, fried chicken legs, fried rice cakes, etc., and exchange them for fried chicken.

In other words, Chen Yu used this milk tea cup as a billboard.

"Free exchange? No money?" All the nearby guests were attracted.

"Yes, as long as you collect all nine different patterns, you can exchange them, but our milk tea cups are taken randomly, so you can't ask for patterns." Wu Sanni explained specifically.

This is also what Chen Yu told me in advance. In fact, it is best to open it blindly. Before the customer gets the milk tea cup, they don't know what the pattern is, for example, it is printed on the bottom of the cup.

But this is more difficult, and I am afraid that the paint will fade, so I gave up.

"Can any kind of milk tea be exchanged? Can the most expensive one be used? Can a large cup be used?"

There are also large glasses on the menu, and all large glasses add [-] cents, but no one has ordered large glasses yet.

"Any kind can be changed, but the big cup can only be replaced with a big cup." Wu Sanni explained.

That is to say, if you collect nine small cups with different patterns, you can change to a small cup, and if you have a large cup, you can change to a large cup.

"It's very interesting..."

"That's right, it's a good deal to exchange a cup for free." The girl who said this has forgotten that not long ago, she still hated the price of milk tea.

"Can I keep the exchanged cup? I really like this cup. I can take it back and make handicrafts." A girl said.

Wu Sanni was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at Shen Qiao who found an empty table in a secluded corner and sat leisurely, the little boss hadn't been trained on this issue in advance!

The main reason is that Chen Yu thought that the empty cups used to mix milk tea were already waste, and would anyone want to keep them?

"Yes." Wu Sanni bit the bullet and said, "But we need to leave a mark."

"Where?"

"...the bottom of the cup." This should be the place that least damages the beauty of the milk tea cup. She thinks those little girls should like patterns, because she likes them too.

"I'll buy a cup to take away, too." The girl companion who was about to take out milk tea was moved by what she heard, and ordered a cup too.

"What flavor do you buy?"

"I think pearls are good. I'll buy pearls."

"I just drank the pearl one, so I'll buy the red bean one."

"Okay, okay, you go back and taste it, if it tastes good, tell us, I will try it next time."

"no problem……"

With these girls at the beginning, two of their companions ordered milk tea to take away.

A few people eagerly saw what kind of cup they would get, and other guests followed suit.

Among the four girls, the first girl is a lemon, the other three, two are grapes, and one is an apple.

They are all very satisfied, so far it is just a repetition.

Once the milk tea is ready, put it on the automatic sealing machine, press the plastic film on it, and a tight cup of take-away milk tea is ready.

Put it into a special thin paper bag with the logo of the milk tea shop, put a straw, and deliver it to the customer.

"It's so exquisite."

"Yes, there is a bag as well, which is very convenient to carry."

The girls were very happy, which made the other guests envious.

Those who were not short of money bought a cup immediately, and as soon as someone bought it, the others all stared at the clerk taking the cup from the cabinet.

"What is this?"

"Strawberry! It's a different pattern!"

"Oh, it's grapes again. There seem to be a lot of grapes."

"Coincidentally, I also buy a cup, I don't know what pattern mine is."

The simple and simple people in the 80s didn't know that this was not a coincidence.

Just like all card collection games, it is impossible for all bosses to have the same probability of various cards appearing.

For example, the unscrupulous boss Chen Yu, when he printed the cups, he directly let the most grape cups be printed, and the watermelon cups were only one-fifth of the grape cups at most.

Milk tea itself tastes very good. Considering the current barren beverage market, the taste of milk tea can conquer the palate of most people.

Even if some people don't like it, it's not too annoying.

Good taste, coupled with novel activities, can be exchanged for free milk tea. The temptation of the shop hangs in front of the guests. Many guests present paid for a cup of milk tea to take away.

Some of the tables that made up the order before canceled the order and bought takeaways instead, because some people who participated in the order were moved.

Some people still buy a cup and taste it first, and only after they are sure that it tastes good, will someone buy a takeaway.

Such an exquisite paper bag outer packaging is also very face-lifting.

Seeing that there were almost no dine-in customers except those who made up the order, the shop assistants panicked.

What should I do? There are so many customers coming in, they don’t eat in, and they leave after buying. When people see that there is no one sitting in their store, don’t they think that the business is not good?

Sometimes it's like this, seeing that there is no one in the store, customers will not go in.

If there are many people in the store and there are still people queuing up, more people will come to queue, because they think that it must be good to have so many likes.

The clerks couldn't figure out why the same price was set for dine-in and take-out, but there was an extra paper cup and a paper bag for take-out.

"The store manager..." A clerk looked at Wu Sanni hesitantly.

Wu Sanni calmly said: "Follow the rules set by the little boss."

In fact, she also panicked a lot, why is there no dine-in, such a beautiful decoration, such a beautiful cup, and even a beautiful spoon, isn't it worth sitting down and drinking a cup of milk tea slowly?

She glanced at Shen Qiao, who was still sitting there peacefully, not caring about anything.

Wu Sanni was suddenly relieved, if there was a problem, she would definitely not ignore it.

Shen Qiao also found that there were not many dine-in options in the store, so he shook his head amusingly.

Chen Yu told him that takeaway milk tea is the big trend, and his shop is so big, those who choose dine-in, will not eat Malatang, the main purpose is to eat, eat in one sitting withdrawn.

Customers who order milk tea may sit for a long time, and the seat turnover rate will not be very high.

In this way, the location in the store will be tight, of course, the more takeaways, the better.

In fact, the girls who were the first to go out with take-away milk tea were discussing this issue.

"The decoration of that milk tea shop is beautiful. I want to take a closer look, but the takeaway milk tea has been ordered, so it's not easy to sit there, so I have to leave first."

"Me too. I seemed to see something printed on that cup, but I didn't pay attention to it."

"The cups in the store also have words?"

"Yes, it seems to be a sentence."

"Then let's go again next time. We can eat in the restaurant, and we can bring a book with us to discuss poetry together. It's so beautiful to discuss in that environment."

Others fantasized about the scene and thought it was wonderful.

"But I can't bear the fruit cup..."

"I can't bear to..."

The girls looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

This is really a difficult choice. It would be nice if they graduated earlier. They will make money after graduation. If they have money, they can have everything. Eat in first, and then buy a cup of takeaway when they leave.

Because of the beautiful wall paintings and strange signboards, although the flow of people in the milk tea shop is not particularly large throughout the day, it is not small. More than 100 cups have been sold one after another, with a turnover of nearly 300 yuan.

It doesn’t look as good as Malatang, especially considering the initial investment of the two, the milk tea shop can even be called a failure.

But Chen Yu is already very satisfied, this is the first day, without any publicity, only relying on the customers who walk in unintentionally, can have the current income, which shows that the potential of the milk tea shop is still great.

He only needs to wait a little longer and wait for the word of mouth to ferment, and the business of the milk tea shop will only get better and better, forming a virtuous circle.
