Chapter 21 You Can't Have Both Jade Pendant and Milk Tea
First, smile at the screen, and her profile picture and information will appear in the upper left corner.
Then, following the voice prompts, she began to choose her milk tea, but this step proved a bit difficult.
These milk teas all look so delicious, what should she do if she wants to order them all?
After hesitating for a while, she still chose the iced bubble tea.
However, she made up her mind that she would definitely try every kind of milk tea on it!
After placing the order and making payment, a voice on the screen reminded her that she did not have enough cash and that she only had 2 spending points left.
Well, she was already very restrained at the convenience store.
She only had 20 coins on her, so she didn't dare to spend more. She just bought a grilled sausage and two skewers of oden (one meat and one vegetable) to try. She didn't expect that she would spend all her money.
Since it was an automatic payment system, she hadn't paid attention to how much she had spent. Who would have thought...
Ugh, the milk tea she painstakingly chose, step by step, was so close, just one last step away... Was she destined to only be able to look at it and not drink it today...?
She was unwilling to accept it!
Kong Nishang was on the verge of tears, but fortunately, the voice rang out at just the right time to save her from the predicament.
"The jade pendant on your body can be converted into points of consumer value. If the exchange is confirmed, the jade pendant will be irretrievable after it is recycled."
Do you need to exchange this money?
Kong Nishang nervously took out the jade pendant from her bosom. Should she exchange it or not?
She was going through an internal struggle, but in the end, human will prevailed over fate, and her unwavering determination to make milk tea triumphed over everything.
She took one last look at her father's jade pendant and, after a moment's observation, confirmed that it was ugly.
Hmm, so her father probably won't find out she sold this ugly jade pendant...
With a determined heart, she pressed the redemption button.
Because it was a big deal, a redemption box appeared on the screen, prompting her to place the item inside the box herself.
Kong Nishang held the jade pendant in her palm and aimed it at the exchange box. As soon as she placed it on the box, the jade pendant was enveloped in silver light and disappeared.
Instead, she received an exquisitely crafted brocade pouch, larger than her palm, which weighed down Kong Nishang's hand.
"The jade pendant has been recycled. 2 coins will be deducted first, and the payment for this transaction is 8 coins. The change is 9992. Since the amount exceeds 5000, a brocade pouch will be given as a free gift."
She examined the brocade pouch in her hand closely. It was light blue, embroidered with gilded auspicious cloud patterns and the words "Fairyland" outlined in silver thread.
What an exquisite brocade pouch!
Kong Nishang's anxiety vanished instantly. She felt that she had gained a beautiful brocade pouch, making the exchange worthwhile!
Inside the brocade pouch were nine taels of silver, nine pieces of broken silver, and a handful of copper coins.
Feeling the heavy silver in her hand, her worries, which had just subsided, returned. She began to worry again that if her father found out that his jade pendant had been sold, she would be confined to her home for ten days or half a month and would not be able to see Milk Tea.
However, her worries didn't last long before they completely disappeared, because soon the large cup of bubble tea she ordered was slowly rising and heading towards her.
Not only is the ordering process fun, but even the order processing is amazing!
She loves it so much!
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Kong Nishang picked up the large cup of bubble tea. It was much bigger than the cup she had used for the previous tasting, and she was sure it would be a very satisfying drink!
Seeing that the cup was sealed, Kong Nishang didn't think much and was about to tear off the paper with her hand, but was stopped by Bai Mengran who was quick-witted and agile.
"No, no, don't tear it! Don't tear it!"
"Everyone, please pay attention! The key to drinking bubble tea is not to drink it directly, but to sip it through a straw!"
As Bai Mengran spoke, she pulled a straw from the straw box next to her. Just as she was about to teach them how to insert the straw skillfully, she suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that a strange device had appeared next to the straw box.
The device is ingeniously designed; you can tell from its appearance that there are five empty spaces at the bottom specifically reserved for placing milk tea cups.
About a foot above each cup holder is a vertical cylindrical gap, slightly wider than a straw, clearly a designated spot for inserting a straw.
It seems this device is specifically designed for inserting straws; it can automatically complete the relatively technically demanding straw-inserting process after a simple placement.
Bai Mengran was quite pleasantly surprised. This way, she could save herself the trouble of repeatedly teaching how to insert the tube, and customers could also participate in the placement, adding a lot of fun.
Unexpectedly, she had casually mentioned to the system beforehand that it was a bit troublesome to insert straws one by one, and the system came up with such a special machine.
She absolutely loves this thoughtful system!
However, she didn't have time to connect with her system right now, because many eager eyes were fixed on the straw in her hand, looking forward to hearing her continue.
"That's right, inserting a straw by hand requires skill, which takes a lot of practice to master."
"Therefore, we have provided a straw insertion tool here for everyone. We just need to put the milk tea down like this, then take a straw, insert it into the small tube above with the pointed end facing down, and press the button on top..."
While explaining to everyone, Bai Mengran demonstrated the process using Kong Nishang's cup of milk tea.
The moment she pressed the top button, the seal at the bottom of the tube that was blocking the straw opened, and the straw, propelled by the downward pressure, pierced vertically and landed precisely in the center of the milk tea cup.
Perfect!!!
Even Bai Mengran was astonished by this move.
You should know that she has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the past, every time she bought milk tea, poking the straw was always a pain point for her. She would always want to buy another cup and pok it again if she didn't poke it perfectly.
Sometimes, the coordination between hands and cups isn't quite right, so I have to feed my face a sip of milk tea first.
If this straw-poking device had existed earlier, it would have been a lifesaver for many people with obsessive-compulsive disorder like her who have to poke straws.
Bai Mengran picked up the cup of bubble tea that hadn't spilled a drop, handed it back to Kong Nishang, and gestured with her eyes that she could enjoy it.
Kong Nishang tried taking the first sip through the straw. The icy cold milk tea mixed with soft and chewy tapioca pearls was continuously sucked into her mouth as if she were riding a ladder to the clouds. The taste...
What a great word for "shuang"!
The people next to her wanted to wait for her to take a sip and stop to ask her how it tasted, but they saw that ever since her mouth and the straw became one, the milk tea was being poured into her mouth like a floodgate had been opened.
After finally stopping, her mouth started chewing the pearls again.
Now everyone else was getting anxious and started ordering as well.
Fortunately, there weren't many people yet, and the few who were friends who helped each other were quite considerate of one another.
Actually, they were afraid they wouldn't know how to order when it was their turn, so they wanted to watch how others ordered again so they could learn it themselves.
Bai Mengran was originally standing by the ordering screen watching them place their orders, trying to get everyone to try operating it themselves, and only helping out when they encountered problems.
Later, after seeing Kong Nishang finish more than half a cup of milk tea in one go, she came over with the milk tea cup and enthusiastically helped the people behind her place their orders.
