Chapter 8: New Arrival—Yu's Fresh Milk
[ Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing Side Quest 1 Advanced Edition. ]
[ Reward: 100 bottles of Yu’s Oolong Tea, 1 Merchandise Card. ]
In an instant, the system notification arrived.
Yu Zui was so delighted she nearly jumped for joy.
At this moment, she restrained the urge to immediately claim her reward and turned to the few ladies before her. “Sisters, let’s exchange WeChat contacts. Then, tell me your addresses—I’ll handle the orders.”
When it comes to benefactors, excellent service is a must!
Hearing this, the ladies smiled warmly and eagerly added Yu Zui on WeChat.
Once added, Yu Zui promptly began confirming their addresses.
After verifying the details were correct, she said, “I’ll place the orders shortly. I’ll send the tracking numbers via WeChat.”
“Alright!” The ladies replied, proceeding to make their payments.
Yu Zui soon received several payments totaling exactly 4,000 each.
“Let’s add a bottle of iced black tea, and keep the rest as shipping fees—no change needed.”
“Exactly! If you find good products in the future, be sure to call us! We’re heading home tomorrow!”
“I just think your products are great, and the young lady is really nice.”
They praised Yu Zui, making her blush slightly—wasn’t this a bit... strategic?
Zhu Yaqin waited until her friends finished purchasing, then ordered ten more bottles of oolong tea. She sighed, “My daughter saw a livestreamer say your oolong tea is effective and told me to buy more. By the way, boss, you’re impressive—already getting livestream promotion just after opening.”
Yu Zui explained, “I didn’t hire anyone. A customer who came yesterday happened to be a streamer and mentioned my product’s premium price as a selling point.”
She hadn’t realized the circle was so small.
“You’re really lucky!” Zhu Yaqin said in surprise.
Yu Zui smiled, “Yes, very lucky!”
From yesterday until now, everything had gone smoothly.
“Wishing you booming business, boss! We’re off to a new attraction today!”
“Take care!”
After seeing them off, Yu Zui settled a few more customer orders before happily returning to the counter. She withdrew the 100 bottles of oolong tea as a reward, kept 40 for herself, and neatly stocked the rest on the dedicated oolong shelf.
Nearby, some people noticed the fresh oolong tea and began picking up one or two bottles.
The store’s other tourists saw the entire scene unfold and were stunned.
They started to question reality!
Could it be that others used a different currency?
This wasn’t 1.88, nor 18.8—it was 188!
“Don’t you think that’s expensive?” a tourist asked.
“Expensive! But worth it. The streamer I follow lost two pounds just after one bottle! It works great—cheaper than diet pills or gym classes!”
“Aren’t you worried it’s fake?”
“That’s the streamer we’ve trusted for a long time. When she promotes, she’s honest about testing it herself. Besides, isn’t this shop right here? If there’s a problem, we can seek compensation from the boss!”
The tourists fell silent, unsure whether to pity the buyers or the boss.
---
Why not give it a try?
Since they were here anyway—
And after this village, there’d be no shop like this.
Thinking of the iced black tea’s flavor, some reached out to buy.
Others checked online reviews and social media, looking for negative feedback.
To their surprise, most reviews were positive, especially those from verified purchasers, which were more convincing.
If it didn’t work, surely some would have returned to complain!
With this in mind, more tourists decided to “take the plunge.”
Meanwhile, Yu Zui began placing orders through the delivery app.
After completing her order, she rubbed her hands together and opened the general store app again. Selecting the beverage category, she proceeded to draw a prize.
It had to be a good product!
#Beverage Category#
[ Product: Yu’s Fresh Milk ]
[ Volume: 200ml ]
[ Function: Boosts immunity, improves sleep ]
[ Wholesale Price: 100 yuan ]
[ Suggested Retail Price: 188 yuan ]
Fresh milk! The perfect companion for oolong tea! Buying them together would be ideal!
She decided on eleven bottles—one for sampling, the rest for sale. Perhaps this would help complete the advanced task.
However, when Yu Zui tried to claim the order, it didn’t appear directly at the counter but showed as “in delivery.”
“System, what’s going on? Can’t I just claim it directly?”
[ To ensure realism, new products and some rewards include a delivery step. They only appear instantly if the host is alone and it wouldn’t be awkward. ]
“Hmm.” Yu Zui had no objection; this was for safety, after all.
It made sense—if new products could be taken out immediately, customers might wonder why they weren’t displayed earlier!
Yu Zui realized that even with system tech, details mattered for her own sake.
At that moment, she examined the iced black tea and oolong tea bottles.
Only then did she notice many foreign words on the packaging.
“System, are these products manufactured and registered abroad?”
[ Yes, different products originate from different countries. Each time the host claims an item, I log the details. You can request them from me whenever you need. ]
“Give me the info—I want to memorize it,” Yu Zui thought quickly. This way, when introducing the drinks, she could add some “origin story.”
[ Understood. ]
After careful inspection, Yu Zui discovered that the iced black tea’s factory was in Sri Lanka, while the oolong tea and fresh milk came from West Zealand.
After reading this, Yu Zui couldn’t help but feel impressed.
Just then, the system announced a new task.
[ Congratulations, host, Side Quest 1 completed. Side Quest 2 unlocked. ]
[ Side Quest 2: Sell 1 bottle of fresh milk within one day. ]
[ Reward: 1 Merchandise Card ]
[ Countdown: 23 hours 59 minutes 55 seconds ]
Seeing the new task, Yu Zui felt a twinge of regret.
“System, isn’t there a higher-level version of Side Quest 1? Like selling a thousand bottles of iced black tea and giving away a thousand bottles of oolong tea? Also, what about the oolong tea’s side quests?”
These were all chances to exploit the system’s rewards!
Especially oolong tea, now riding the wave of that streamer’s popularity—once results show, it would surely sell even better!
[ The next stage of tasks requires the host to have a sufficient product variety. You can unlock it once requirements are met. ]
Yu Zui immediately understood.
There would be chances—but not yet.
“How many types of products do I need?” she asked, needing a clear goal to strive for.
[ Ten types. ]
“Got it,” Yu Zui replied, realizing with the current product release rhythm, she’d have to complete this side quest five times.
Then she might as well push for one type per day!
Time to unlock the next batch of rewards.
“Boss, delivery!” A shout came from outside.
Fresh milk already? So soon?
A delivery man soon entered, carrying an insulated box.
Yu Zui signed for it and saw ten neatly arranged glass bottles of fresh milk inside.
Admiring the milk’s sleek bottles, she instantly liked them.
She quickly placed the milk on the oolong tea shelf.
Customers nearby glanced over, intrigued.
“Boss, you’re really keeping up with the trends!”
“Oolong tea and milk are a perfect match!”
“The glass bottles look high quality!”
“Is this milk also 188 yuan?”
“Tastes good?”
“...”
Listening to the chatter, Yu Zui replied, “Yes, same price—188 yuan. This is imported fresh milk from West Zealand farms. Would you like to try a bottle right now?”
Without hesitation, she opened a bottle.
As the cap came off, a rich, creamy aroma filled the air.
