After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu had previously tweaked the marinade recipe based on the principles of herbal cuisine, turning the shop's marinated dishes into bona fide health foods.

But who could guarantee that these milk teas wouldn't undermine the medicinal properties of the recipe?

Chen Yu pondered in his mind for a moment, and knew he had to minimize the potential harm of these milk teas on his customers' health.

At the very least, the patrons of his shop absolutely could not be compromised by the milk tea.

"Li Gang, Ning Kai, I'll leave things here to you, I need to step out for a bit."

After giving his instructions, Chen Yu hurried off to the farmers' market.

Before long, Chen Yu bought back a large amount of various beans.

The system had already provided a complete set of breakfast recipes, which included the preparation of mung bean smoothies and soy milk.

Now that the weather was gradually warming up, these two items might be able to counteract the impact of milk tea on the store to the greatest extent if placed in the shop.

Especially the soy milk, which only required a special technique to be slightly modified, and it could imitate the taste of cow's milk.

If some ingredients were added, the flavor could be even more refreshing than that of milk tea.

What's more important was that its cost was extremely low, almost negligible.

Chen Yu planned to offer these two items for free, just like the porridge previously available in the dining area.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Yu had made the first bowl of soy milk.

The fragrance it exuded was completely different from that of ordinary soy milk, with a very rich milky aroma.

If one didn't see the preparation process, they might think it was fresh cow's milk straight from the cow.

Li Gang couldn't wait to take a sip and was instantly amazed.

"My God! This is the first time I've seen someone make pure milk out of soy milk."

Ning Kai, already enticed by the smell, snatched the spoon and took a sip with a look of enjoyment.

"Delicious and invigorating; oh, Chen Yu, if you supply this for free, it's simply too much of a waste. If this were sold in other shops, even ten yuan per cup would be too cheap."

Chen Yu didn't say much, just followed the previous steps and made four large pots.

Mung bean smoothie, red bean smoothie, secret recipe chilled soy milk, and secret recipe hot soy milk.

And in these offerings, Chen Yu had also added some fashionable fruits.

The four large pots were plugged in and the temperature set, ready to serve both hot and cold.

The aroma that wafted out filled the entire shop in no time.

A delivery guy who often brought his daughter with him must have felt sorry for her, so he bought her a cup of milk tea before entering the shop.

But as soon as he saw four big tubs added to the free supply section, he was startled.

And the aroma that spread was several times richer than the milk tea in the young girl's hand.

Almost subconsciously, he picked up a disposable plastic bowl from the side and scooped up a bowl of the secret recipe soy milk.

After just one taste, the delivery guy was so impressed that he grabbed his daughter's milk tea and took a sip.

"What on earth is this garbage, selling for twelve yuan a cup, and it's not even as tasty as the stuff Chen Yu is offering for free."

Exclaiming in surprise, the guy then scooped up another bowl for his daughter.

The little girl obediently took a sip and then pushed the milk tea in her hand aside.

The free supply area had been set up specifically for delivery guys in the first place, so naturally, they were among the first beneficiaries.

It wasn't long before nearly all the delivery guys in the shop were showering the place with praise.

"This is definitely the most delicious smoothie I've ever had; Chen Yu, are you sure you're not charging for this?"

"If I had known, why would I bother buying milk tea? Those celebrities are just using milk tea as a pretext to make money. Look at young boss Chen, offering such delicious things for free."

...

The delivery guys' praises quickly attracted the nearby customers.

After most people tasted the secret soy milk blend, they immediately discarded their milk teas aside.

In fact, calculating the cost, the average expense for each big pot of the nine kinds of free beverages was only about ten yuan.

Even if each kind of beverage was served in five shifts per day, the cost was just over five hundred yuan.

Compared to the daily net profit of over a million, it was literally insignificant.

Moreover, Chen Yu had entered these nine kinds of free beverages into the delivery system.

Consumers could choose the amount of beverages according to the number of people dining, which was also a benefit offered by Chen Yu.

At noon, an old man in his sixties hobbled into the shop with a cane.

He walked to the display window with an air of authority and knocked on it casually.

"Boss, just give me a few of your specialty dishes," he said.

At the sound of his voice, Ning Kai and Li Gang were momentarily startled.

"Mr. Han!"

The two called out almost in unison and then prepared to go out and greet him.

But Chen Yu stopped them.

"Old gentleman, please go over to the ordering area to place your order, then join the queue here. These are the rules of our shop."

Han Dongli's eyes bulged in disbelief: "Take a good look, I am a gourmet critic, and my final opinion can directly determine the fate of this establishment."

"Who you are doesn't concern me; here, you are just another diner, and you must follow the rules of this place!"

Han Dongli didn't expect Chen Yu to show him such little respect and immediately felt indignant.

However, seeing the popularity of the shop, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

This establishment was long famous and had even been featured in Suzhou City's media more than once.

Today, no matter what, he had to taste for himself what made this place so exceptional.

Taking a deep breath, Han Dongli headed towards the ordering area.

But as he passed the free offering section, he was instantly captivated by the aroma wafting from the nine big pots.

Leaning in to sniff, Han Dongli was even more startled.

"Licorice, bamboo shavings, lotus leaves, lotus seeds..."

He rattled off the names of several ingredients, saliva already flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Eager, he picked up a disposable plastic bowl and helped himself to some black rice and adzuki bean porridge.

"Black rice, adzuki beans, the ratio of water was nearly perfect, and the combined effect of the medicines is to dispel dampness and chill! My God, such a thing is offered for free."

Exclaiming in amazement, he took another disposable bowl and served himself some chilled secret soy milk blend.

"Chilled and refreshing, with a strong fruit flavor, but isn't this milk too rich? Such cost... No, soybeans! My God, what kind of method was used? The soybean taste is completely hidden; even I almost couldn't detect it."

Overwhelmed with excitement, he took another disposable bowl, wanting to get some mung bean slush.

"Hey, what's the matter with you, old man? Kind boss Chen offers us these free beverages, and look at you—having a bit to drink, wasting a bowl. Disposable bowls are still bowls, aren't they free?"

A scolding voice startled Han Dongli, and then dozens of delivery guys swarmed around him.

From their looks, they seemed ready to tear Han Dongli to pieces.
