parasitic son

A few days later, Lu Lixuan brought out his new milk tea again.

Now his tasting group has increased to three members, Ren Anzhi, the store manager of "Xiaomeng Tao Tea Tea House", and a fellow store clerk.

These days, Lu Lixuan spent almost all of his time brewing and developing new milk teas. With such high-intensity work without sleep, even as an alien biochemical weapon, his face looked a little gloomy.

But Lu Lixuan didn't seem to feel tired at all, he still poured milk tea for his three tasters with a vigorous attitude.

"This is the latest version!" Lu Lixuan said, "Please have a taste."

The store manager and his fellow clerks looked down upon this young man who had no serious academic qualifications and was said to have been detained at the beginning, thinking that he was messing around without doing his job.But after Lu Lixuan came up with an imitation that tasted almost the same as "First Snow of New Grand", the two of them had a great change in their opinion of Lu Lixuan.Especially the store manager, who is considered a senior practitioner in this industry. He knows that a hot item like the milk tea of ​​the other party must embody the painstaking efforts and experience of the other party's practitioners.He is also an old hand at making milk tea. He knows that milk tea is a kind of drink that any novice can make a passable drink. It's not that easy.It is even more difficult to make the kind of high-quality milk tea that is impressive and even crushes all the milk teas nearby.

But Lu Lixuan, who had no experience, made milk tea with almost the same taste in just a few days.Although the cost of the imitation milk tea is too high to be sold, the store manager has already recognized Lu Lixuan's incredible talent.The investment of the big star Ren Anzhi proved this point even more.

Even passers-by who don't pay attention to the entertainment industry will know the name of Ren Anzhi, the star who has captured the hearts of most women in the country.And this big star is willing to invest in this store regardless of the cost, and is confidently waiting for Lu Lixuan's research and development. The store manager subconsciously feels that this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in his career path.With the addition of a celebrity filter, and the milk tea served by Lu Lixuan is getting better and better every day, the store manager and his colleagues unknowingly ignited the fighting spirit to defeat "New Grand's First Snow".

"Try it!! My latest achievement!" Lu Lixuan said.

"It's delicious." The co-worker said, she nodded, "Xiao Lu, I really have yours, I think the taste is very good!"

"Not bad." Ren Anzhi said while holding a paper cup, "It's the one that suits my taste the most these days."

Now among the three tasters, only the store manager has yet to give an evaluation.Lu Lixuan looked at him expectantly.The store manager closed his eyes, then raised his glass and took another sip.

"How about it, manager?"

"It's delicious." The store manager opened his eyes and said, "But..."

"But what?"

"I think there is still something missing if we want to overthrow the milk tea of ​​the other party." The store manager pondered, "Since we are making high-quality goods now, this is still not enough."

"What do you think is wrong?"

"It's a bit short of an impressive memory point." The store manager said, "Now I can still clearly recall the faint coolness of the New Grand Chuxue's signature milk tea, which is his memory point. As long as As soon as customers recall the taste, they will recognize that store. I think our milk tea should also have something that customers can remember.”

The room fell silent, Ren Anzhi and his fellow shop assistants looked at Lu Lixuan together.

Lu Lixuan was thoughtful, "Remember, it's an impressive taste."

Ren Anzhi said: "In that case, when I was participating in a food program, I heard this sentence: good food has memories." He put down his teacup, "I think it makes sense."

Lu Lixuan paced back and forth a few times, Ren Anzhi thought he would complain, but the young man just raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "You are so right, manager, I'll go back and continue to prepare!"

Then he rushed back into the kitchen like a gust of wind.

"This person, doesn't he need to take a break?" the colleague clerk murmured.

The store manager looked at his back, his heart was beating very hard for some reason.When he first stepped into the society decades ago, a fire was ignited in his heart.At that time, the world in his eyes was full of hope and opportunity, as if there was nothing impossible.Now more than ten years have passed, and the fire in his heart has long been extinguished so that there is not even a spark left.He only had the hope of earning more money for the future, but now a faint spark suddenly popped out of his chest, "Maybe, we can really make something very powerful..." He lowered his head and thought to himself .

……

……

Lu Lixuan looked at the bottles and cans in front of him, lost in thought.

He could understand what the store manager meant. Human beings are creatures that rely on memory to survive.Some memories are bland and forgotten the moment they are entered into the brain, while others are like lightning in the night sky, so dazzling and vivid, they are deeply embedded in the consciousness, and they will jump out when needed out, and then transformed into indelible human emotions such as happiness, sadness, embarrassment and fear.

As for his milk tea, what is needed is a memorable memory point.

However, what impressive form should he make his milk tea have?

His sense of taste is not as multi-layered and delicate as the native humans.He can only feel the most basic tastes of the food on this planet.Can he really make an unforgettable taste?

He restarted the operation.

Afterwards, he brought out milk tea more than ten times in a row. Although his three tasters still praised it unanimously, he knew that his milk tea still had no special highlights.

Good food has memories.

Continuing to deploy in this way is just a purposeless headless fly.

For the first time he felt tired.

Then, he who was busy these days finally stopped the preparation, and looked at the bottles and jars in front of him without saying a word.

He was very tired, and his brain, which was constantly working and calculating various ratios, was finally able to breathe.

……then.

He sat in the room for three whole days.

He didn't eat, drink, or even think.

On the third night, spurred by hunger, he thought back to that day, the day he had just descended upon Laura.

He curled up in the egg pod and walked through the clouds. The wind howled wildly, rubbing against the hard egg pod and igniting sparks.

Then, he descended to the earth.

At first the sound was far away, like beyond the stars.Then, they poured into his ears like rain.

... He heard countless breathing sounds, which were the breaths of countless little creatures on this planet, that was the sound of earthworms digging into the soil, that was the sound of ants building walls, that was the sound of birds chirping, that was the sound of The sound of people talking, that is the noise of vehicles coming and going.He stood on this piece of land, he saw the sea of ​​night clouds like waves in the distance, and he saw countless flickering lights.

He took a soft breath.

breathe.

That is the breath of this planet, that is the breath of the city, the vague smell of human beings in the night...

That day, under the starry sky, he turned into a human being.

Now, he recalled everything back then, the memory of his first contact with this planet.

I know what to do with the milk tea this time, he thought.

He picked up the measuring cup again.

Good food has memories.

……

……

Two days later, Lu Lixuan presented his work again.

"Actually, I think your first few models are very good." The colleague clerk took the teacup and said in a flat tone.

"Try this one now."

"Yeah." The co-worker took a sip, and then her eyes widened, "This, this feeling..."

"how?"

"Okay, it's delicious!! It's so delicious!" The colleague clerk shouted, "It's delicious! Manager, Mr. Ren, you all have a taste!"

Ren Anzhi picked up the cup and took a small sip first, and then he took another big sip, trying to deepen his impression of this feeling.At first, there is a strong sense of impact directly into the brain, and then the taste gradually becomes milder, like a curling breeze spreading in the mouth, with the slightly astringent fragrance of tea and the sweetness of milk fluttering along with it.

Afterwards, you want another sip.

"This smell..." Ren Anzhi thought about the words of praise in his mind, "It's really incredible!"

"hey-hey."

"What's the matter with the shock feeling in front?"

"It's mint." Lu Lixuan said, "New Grand's Chuxue's signature milk tea also uses mint. According to your feedback, his mint is used in the aftertaste. I used it in the first sip Feeling."

"Ah..." The store manager on the side made a sound, "This milk tea is really amazing, really amazing..." He waved his arms and wanted to explain, but for a while he couldn't say anything better word.

Lu Lixuan took out the formula of milk tea. Although there are relatively expensive high-quality raw materials, the overall cost is controlled within the range that can be sold on the street.

Anyway, this milk tea was a success.

Ren Anzhi asked, "How did you do it?"

"It's my memory. The memory of my first visit to this city. I conveyed this memory in milk tea."

The colleague clerk shouted: "Great!! This milk tea is definitely better than the first snow in New Granville!!"

"Okay. Okay." Ren Anzhi turned his head and said to Lu Lixuan, "This is a new product you developed, please give it a name."

"City. It's called a city."

***************************

Xiao Zhen and Liu Xingquan were walking on the way to school.

"Yan Zhen, this road is not your way home." Liu Xingquan said.

"My mother said that there is a famous milk tea shop here. It seems to be called Chuxue." Xiaozhen said, "I want to buy a cup and try it."

"You like milk tea so much."

"Occasionally, I will try famous delicacies." Xiaozhen stopped in his tracks, "Wow, the queue is too much."

On the opposite side of the road, there was a mighty long queue of people, and a loudspeaker proclaimed, "Now you can only get milk tea after queuing for an hour and a half! Now you can only get milk tea after queuing for an hour and a half!"

"There are too many people here." Liu Xingquan said ruthlessly, "I won't waste time queuing with you."

"Tsk, come again next time." Xiaozhen and Liu Xingquan turned around and walked a few steps, the clerk from another milk tea shop poked his head out to greet them, "Our family just released a new milk tea, which is also super delicious !! Do you want to try it?"

Xiaomeng Tao teahouse, Xiaozhen read the signboard in his heart.

Compared with Chuxue in New Grand across the street, the customer flow of this restaurant can only be described as miserable.Apart from Xiaozhen and Liu Xingquan, there were no guests at the door.

"Our new product is absolutely delicious!!" The clerk said confidently, "Come and try it. Now we are having an event!"

Xiaozhen saw the superficial consciousness that she wanted to hug his thigh and knelt down and begged for a cup of milk tea.Uh, it looks like this store is a bit pathetic.

"What activities are you doing?"

"Buy one, get one free." The clerk said, "If you buy a cup, your classmate will also get a cup."

"Okay, then I'll buy it. Less ice, half sugar."

"Remove the ice, three points of sugar."

The clerk was overjoyed and handed two cups of milk tea to Xiao Zhen and Liu Xingquan after a while.

Xiaozhen glanced at the long queue not far away, and took a sip of the straw absently.

Then he and Liu Xingquan looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "This, this is too delicious!!"

……

……

the next day.

When Xiaozhen and Liu Xingquan visited this Xiaomeng Tao teahouse again, they found that there was already an exaggeratedly long queue at the entrance of the shop where no one cared about it. The loudspeaker repeatedly announced, "Now you have to wait in line for 2 hours to get milk tea!"
