Chapter 136 Soto City [Tang's Iced Tea] Opens
Three days later, the commercial street of Soto City was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums.
A striking blue and white sign hangs in front of Tang's Iced Tea shop, with colorful ribbons fluttering and eight large characters carved in gilded powder:
Tang's Iced Tea & Tang's Delivery
The shops are lined with blooming cherry blossoms, their fresh fragrance mingled with a hint of sweetness, attracting passersby to stop and admire them.
Don't miss it!
"Tang's Iced Tea Grand Opening Special: Buy One Get One Free! Show your Grand Arena ticket to enjoy a cup of iced tea of any flavor!"
"Specialty Snow Cherry Fruit Platter, Star Dew Passion Fruit Drink..."
Four employees dressed in matching blue and white short-sleeved shirts were enthusiastically hawking their wares and soliciting customers. They were local youths temporarily recruited by Tang Chuan.
After two days of simple training, although they were still a bit rusty, their service attitude and smiles were much better than those of the staff in other stores.
The shop was bustling with activity.
Several wooden tables were filled with customers. Behind the counter, Tang San was efficiently serving iced tea, while Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran helped greet customers and collect money and give change.
Tang Chuan stood at the entrance, watching the endless stream of people, a broad smile on his face.
Within an hour of opening, more than half of the 1,000 cups of iced tea and 200 fruit platters prepared had been sold.
During this time, delivery drivers kept coming in and out from the direction of the Great Battle Arena to pick up their orders.
Along the roadside, many children hired by Flander were distributing beautifully drawn flyers, which featured pictures of various drinks and fruit platters, along with prices and special offers.

Compared to the previous flyers and takeout options in the Notting Academy cafeteria, this time not only have the iced tea flavors and barbecue varieties increased, but a new snack category has also been added.
Tang Chuan had actually inspected the Soul Arena.
Compared to beverages, snacks are clearly more popular.
Just like in his past life, he ate fried chicken and drank beer while watching a game, and ate popcorn and drank milk tea while watching a movie. Beer and milk tea were just for quenching thirst, while fried chicken and popcorn were his true love.
The only pity was that Tang Chuan couldn't find any corn to make popcorn.
Perhaps corn has a different name in the Douluo Continent. They can only try it again when they encounter similar ingredients in the future.
At the same time.
Several brand-new booths have also been set up at the entrance and inside passages of the Soto Arena.
The stalls displayed uniform signs for "Tang's Iced Tea," and blue and white banners were printed with the words "Tang's Iced Tea." Some uniformly dressed employees were busy serving iced tea to spectators, and business was booming.
The clean glass counter displays a wide variety of drinks and fruit-cut snacks.
The only difference from the restaurant is that they don't have barbecue dishes here.
If you want to eat barbecue, you need to place an order with the stall and have someone pick it up from the shop and deliver it to you. The main reason is that barbecue takes up too much space, and Tang Chuan is not optimistic about the sales of barbecue in the Soul Arena.
"Boss, two cups of Dewy Cherry Blossom Iced Tea, and two boxes of Golden Millet Grass Crisps!"
A young Soul Master carrying a long sword squeezed to the front of the line: "I just tried the passion fruit crisps outside, and they were amazing! How did you make them?"
"Hold on!"
The employee quickly packed the drinks: "Would you like to exchange your ticket for a drink, or just buy one?"
"Buy it now!"
"How much are two iced teas and two boxes of chips?"
"Iced tea is one copper soul coin per cup, buy one get one free, crispy chips are two copper soul coins per serving, for a total of five copper soul coins. With the opening discount of 20%, we'll give you four copper soul coins."
"Give!"
The young Soul Master readily paid, took the package, and rushed into the Soul Arena.
At the back of the line, a couple with their child were patiently waiting.
Clutching the flyer, the child tugged at his mother's clothes: "Mom, I want to eat that cherry blossom platter, and I also want to drink that iced tea that's steaming cold!"
The mother smiled and nodded, saying to her husband beside her, "We just passed by the Tang's Takeout shop on the commercial street, and it was so crowded that we couldn't even squeeze in. I didn't expect there to be a stall at the Soul Arena."
"This iced tea is only one copper soul coin a cup, cheaper than ale, no wonder so many people buy it."
"It's mainly for the novelty."
The husband, standing to the side, curled his lip and said, "This tea is for kids. It's not as enjoyable as ale."
"But it certainly has a lot of hype!"
"They even claim it was made by food-type Soul Masters using Soul Skills. How can so many food-type Soul Masters gather together to open a shop?"
In the man's mind, a food-type Soul Master's Martial Soul can only produce that type of food.
It's impossible for a food-type Soul Master to be able to make so many kinds of food; wouldn't his Martial Soul be incredibly versatile?
"That's right!"
The beer vendor next door, looking at his deserted stall, couldn't help but mutter, "This Tang's Iced Tea is stealing our business!"
"Everyone used to buy ale, but now, I've only sold two barrels of ale in half a day!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a customer who had previously bought ale turned back and called out to the Tang's Iced Tea stall, "Two cups of Refreshing Cherry Blossom Tea, please!"
"I've discovered that this ale is absolutely amazing when mixed with iced tea!"
"Brothers, you guys can give it a try too!"
