Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 261

"I have a tiger in my heart, sniffing the roses." - Siegfried Sassoon

At this moment, the young man and woman were standing in the lottery shop scratching off the two scratch-off tickets they had just bought.

One of them has Zachary Cheng in his chest, and the other has Xiaolu in his heart.

I just don’t know if the God of Wealth will favor them this time.

Welfare lottery stores will provide bottle openers for scratching prizes. One end of the bottle opener is tied with a rope and tied to the table to prevent loss.

In the past, everyone used coins in their pockets to scratch prizes, but nowadays people rarely carry cash with them when they go out. Even banknotes are troublesome, let alone coins.

Lin Lu just kept his eyes closed, with a solemn expression on his face, as if he was praying to his God of Wealth.

After she opened her eyes, she held the bottle opener in her right hand and scratched the scratch-off ticket vigorously, as if she would definitely win the prize if she scraped with momentum!

The owner of the Welfare Lottery Shop looked at this beautiful and lovely girl and felt dumbfounded.

"Looking at how she is dressed, I feel like she must be in pretty good condition. She earns a 50-yuan scratch-off ticket and closes her eyes to pray. Unexpectedly, she is still a little money-lover?" the middle-aged uncle thought to himself.

Hehe, middle-aged straight man, you know shit.

Zachary Cheng saw that Lin Lu had already started scraping, muttering something in his small mouth, as if he was reciting a spell, so he also started scraping.

His scratching efficiency was higher than that of Lin Lu. This energetic girl insisted on scratching square by square slowly, while Zachary Cheng just swept line by line.

"Eh? Okay! I won 50 yuan, just enough to get my money back!" Zachary Cheng was shocked.

His winning rate in lottery draws has been very low since he was a child. When he was in elementary school, he couldn't win the lottery at the canteen at the school gate. He even played "Honor of Kings" to draw crystals, and he had to have full luck to get them. A guarantee.

Lin Lu's hand that scratched the prize paused for a moment, turned to look at Zachary Cheng, and then frowned slightly.

Just getting back the money doesn't feel very auspicious.

"Leave it on me!" She grabbed the bottle opener with her little hand harder.

Zachary Cheng turned his head and looked at her, feeling that her little face was tense and her lips were pressed tightly together, as if she was exerting force on her face!

"It's not necessary. Don't wait until the paper card is scratched." Zachary Cheng said with a smile.

Lin Lu didn't hear it at all and kept muttering: "Hit! Hit! Hit!"

I don’t know if it’s true that stupid people are lucky, or if she is someone who has relatively good fortune.

Scratching and scraping, she actually made another hundred this time, 150!

The middle-aged boss immediately asked: "Would the handsome guy and the beautiful girl want to exchange a few more for scratching? The beautiful girl feels very lucky!"

"No, no!" Lin Lu raised his hand and refused repeatedly.

I won’t fall for this little trick!

After transferring the money, Lin Lu happily left with two useless cards.

"Here, I'll give you this, and just give me yours!" Lin Lu also made an exchange and didn't let Zachary Cheng throw it away.

"Tsk, you are really lucky!" Cheng Zhudu was a little convinced.

"That's right! The fortune tellers said that I am very prosperous for other people!" Lin Lu became really proud and continued: "They said that I am prosperous for my family before I get married, and I am prosperous for my husband after I get married!"

She said with a stinking look on her face: "In short, it's very prosperous!"

"Awesome, Wangfu is here." Zachary Cheng deliberately waved the scratch-off ticket in his hand in front of her.

When you gave me this scratch-off ticket, didn't you just want to make me happy?

So

An ambiguous atmosphere began to flow in the air, and Lin Lu suddenly reacted. His face turned slightly red, and then he began to find something to do awkwardly, raising his hand to tighten the scarf around his neck.

Cheng Zhui stopped teasing her and changed the subject: "Then I'll put this scratch-off ticket in the cashier drawer and keep it as a store treasure."

"Okay!" Lin Lu immediately beamed, his eyes flashed, and his whole person seemed to be a little brighter again.

A few minutes later, Zachary Cheng and Lin Lu got into the Land Rover parked in the basement and returned to Xinhang Apartment together.

Lin Lu looked at Building B, which Zachary Cheng rented, and said angrily: "Zachary Cheng, when you rented a house, why didn't you invite everyone to your home to have fun? For example, have a meal together."

"Why is it so exciting? I haven't bought any pots and pans yet, so I have no plans to light a fire at home yet." Zachary Cheng waved his hand.

His family owns a small restaurant. Comrade Cheng Cheng is an expert in cooking and is Zachary Cheng's grandfather, so he can barely be considered a "third generation cook".

He actually has quite a talent for cooking, and the food he cooks is not bad, but he rarely cooks it himself.

Among the current circle of friends, only John Jiang has tasted his cooking. Even Andrew Wang , who also grew up together, has never eaten Zachary Cheng's cooking.

These days, there are fewer and fewer girls who can actually cook, while many boys have some cooking skills.

I don’t know since when, it seems that being able to cook has become a bonus for boys, and some people will rely on this skill to attract girls.

Looking at the current world, among so many girls, it seems that only Yiyi has tasted Zachary Cheng's skills, while the others have only experienced Zachary Cheng's skills.

At this moment, Zachary Cheng looked at her and asked, "What? Want to go up and have a look?"

"Yes." Lin Lu nodded, not afraid at all.

"Okay, go upstairs and give Mi Xie milk tea." Zachary Cheng smiled.

The small apartment he rented still had guests coming back.

The two got off the car and walked into the elevator together. After swiping their cards, the elevator could go to the designated floor.

After entering the room, Lin Lu's eyes were first attracted by the milk tea equipment on the table.

"So many machines!" She didn't expect so much equipment.

"Where are you?" Zachary Cheng smiled.

At present, [Pomelo Tea] will follow the same route as many Internet celebrity milk tea shops in this stage in previous lives. Milk tea is mainly made manually.

Because the Internet celebrity milk tea shop has too many products, and uses a variety of fresh fruits, milk caps, taro paste and other messy materials, the process will be complicated.

Moreover, Internet celebrity milk tea shops at this stage will constantly introduce new products, and they also like to innovate on some niche fruits to show their uniqueness, so they will release new products every month and add many new productions. program.

This makes it difficult to rely on mechanization.

But in a few years, as everyone's tastes change, it will no longer be possible to roll in the field of fruit, and it will no longer be possible to innovate, and it will begin to enter the field of fresh milk + fresh food similar to [Bawang Cha Ji]. The tea model adopts the single-product route, and there are only a few products in one store.

By then, you can rely more on machines.

In fact, the production efficiency of [Bawang Chaji] is much faster than that of brands such as Heytea and Nayuki.

Because its processes can basically be completed by machinery, it can be done with only half the employees of Heytea, but the production efficiency is still faster than him!

This is also the path Zachary Cheng will choose to take in three or four years.

But that is what the milk tea industry should do when it enters the 4.0 era. It has not yet entered the 3.0 era.

So don't think about that for now.

This even involves changes in market tastes, which is quite complicated.

Zachary Cheng has always felt that taking a big step ahead of the times would be a bit too advanced and not necessarily a good thing.

A small step to lead the times is enough, and it is already innovation.

He walked to the milk tea equipment and asked with a smile: "What would you like to drink?"

"Can I make the roasted brown sugar-popped milk you made for me last time?"

"That's probably not possible. Just cooking brown sugar pops for you will take a long time."

"Then you can express yourself freely." Lin Lu said.

"OK."

Zachary Cheng was tinkering in front of the milk tea equipment, while Lin Lu put his hands behind his back and looked around the room.

As for Zachary Cheng's bedroom, she was too embarrassed to go in and take a look alone, so she just put her hands behind her back, then leaned forward and took a few glances inside.

After touring the entire house, Lin Lu asked him in confusion: "By the way, you live alone, why would you rent a two-bedroom apartment? Xinhang Apartment also has one-bedroom apartments."

She was quite confused about this and felt that having an extra room was a waste.

"I want to sleep on two beds, you don't understand." Cheng Yi said while making tea.

For him, a bed is indeed not enough in some cases because of the need - separation of wet and dry.

These days, many young couples will choose double-bed standard rooms when they go to hotels. One reason is that standard rooms are safer and hidden cameras will give priority to double-bed rooms. Another reason is that wet and dry rooms can be separated.

Brother, I am not short of the extra rent every month.

He even wanted to rent a three-bedroom apartment at first.

The milk tea was quickly prepared, and he made a cup of taro ball milk tea for Lin Lu.

"Here, taro milk." Zachary Cheng handed over the hot milk tea.

After Lin Lu took it, he felt the temperature and didn't dare to drink it directly, thinking it would be very hot.

She just held the milk tea with both hands first, using it as a hand warmer.

When winter comes, her beautiful little hands are always cold.

And every night after going to bed, my little feet are cold.

"It's just like a big stove. He took off his coat as soon as he entered the room. He still found it too hot." She held the milk tea in both hands and put it to her mouth. She didn't dare to drink it immediately for fear of burning it, complaining to Zachary Cheng in her heart.

"But if you fall in love with him, it should be very warm, right?" Such a thought came to her mind.

Lin Lu has a straightforward and enthusiastic personality. Since I like him, what should I not think about such a thing?

She just held a straw in her mouth, and then took a slight sip. When she was about to take it into her mouth, her intuition told her that it was probably still very hot, so she didn't dare to drink. Then she let go of her lips, and the milk tea in the straw began to flow again. Fell back.

She subconsciously repeated this small movement several times.

Zachary Cheng looked at her like this, and then discovered a small detail.

Lu Bao, she seems to like biting straws?
