Among them, there is one design that uses less fabric, so, it can also be matched with red fishnet stockings.

The samples this time were made slower because they had to create the hair bands to be worn on the head, as well as the… collars for the neck.

There were three styles of collars made, one of which was a fluffy material, used to embellish the neck.

The second style looked a bit like a red bow.

Another style was the bell design, with a small bell hanging from a red ribbon.

The bell, after all, is one of the elements of Christmas.

Since there were no major issues with the sample clothes, Cheng Zhu then arranged a photo shoot with Ye Zi and the current QQ model Xixi, scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

Of course, pictures of the foreign models definitely needed to be taken as well.

This time, Cheng Zhu planned to include a few pictures of the foreign models’ show when listing the new products on Taobao.

In terms of timing, it was actually a bit rush, thus efficiency had to be pushed.

After going upstairs, Cheng Zhu first went to the studio to assign some tasks.

Then, he went over to the milk tea R&D team to taste the newly formulated Cheese Mixed Berries.

As soon as Wang Wei saw Cheng Zhu, she immediately greeted him.

“Boss,” she called out to Cheng Zhu as a greeting.

Cheng Zhu nodded slightly and saw the milk tea cup in her hand.

“Eh, you’ve drunk half the cup already?” he glanced at it, slightly surprised.

“Yeah! Lin Yue tweaked the tea base a bit, and we just tasted it together. We all think the flavor is much better than before, the astringent taste is basically undetectable now. I couldn’t help but drink half the cup in one go,” Wang Wei said with a smile.

“Oh? From the sound of it, it seems like you’re quite confident!” Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu also revealed a smile.

In recent days, everyone was tackling the last issue, which was the slightly bitter and astringent taste.

At first sip, you couldn’t really tell, but after a few more, the aftertaste would become a bit astringent.

This was actually easy to solve, just make the product a bit sweeter.

But, tastes are changing in the marketplace. Too sweet, and it gets tiresome when consumed in excess!

Back in the era of Milk Tea 1.0, everything was purely made from powder, and milk tea shops hardly had any sweetness options, nothing like full sugar, half sugar, less sugar, etc.

However, entering the era of Milk Tea 2.0, this mode became popular.

People’s taste preferences vary, and having such an option indeed facilitated the sale of products.

Moreover, creatures like girls love to indulge in self-deception.

Everyone knows that milk tea is a caloric bomb.

If someone with a tendency to gain weight drinks a cup of milk tea a day, that’s terrifying!

Some disciplined girls who want to maintain their figure, even when they want to drink it, would usually hold themselves back.

But with half sugar or less sugar options, they might–break their rules!

Moreover, knowledge about medical aesthetics is becoming more and more widespread each year, with a broader reach than the previous year.

For example, everyone now understands the importance of sun protection, not merely for preventing tanning, etc.

Besides, more and more people are getting to know the benefits of “anti-glycation.”

Cheng Zhu, who frequently interacts with women, also knows that anti-glycation can make the skin look better, delay skin aging, reduce wrinkles, age spots, acne, and, of course, benefit weight control.

Back in 2014, the concept of “anti-glycation” wasn’t very popular.

But in a few years, this trend would become particularly significant, even equating anti-glycation with anti-aging.

Milk tea is actually consumed by both genders, and it’s not like girls are the sole main consumers. But when it comes to promoting trendy milk tea, the main force is definitely women.

Generally, girls love to post about food and drinks in their social circles, more willing to share their lives.

Thus, Cheng Zhu also needed to preemptively adapt to the future market direction for women.

Cheese Mixed Berries was their flagship product; it couldn’t rely on adding more sugar, or that simple yet rough method of using sweetness to undercut the astringency.

In reality, many trendy milk tea shops initially used real tea, which was sweetened to cover up the bitter taste, and it indeed got tiresome after a while.

The first few years when tastes hadn’t changed, it wasn’t a problem.

But as time went on, this became a point of complaint among customers!

The girl named Lin Yue, mentioned by Wang Wei, had previously worked at a Yididian milk tea shop, looking small and rather delicate with a watermelon-style haircut.

As she faced Cheng Zhu’s gaze, she anticipated the praise from the young and handsome boss after tasting her improved milk tea flavor.

Everyone had just tried it and received unanimous praise, which bolstered her confidence even more.

“Then I’ll give it a try,” Cheng Zhu said, taking a freshly made cup.

Lin Yue looked at him and suddenly started feeling nervous again.

Cheng Zhu first tasted it from the small opening at the top of the cup, drinking along with the floating cheese cap.

After one sip, he nodded slightly, then inserted the straw and tasted it in another way.

Immediately after, he started to drink eagerly.

After gulping down half the cup in one go, he indeed did not taste the astringency from before.

It wasn’t too sour, the acidity was very mild, and the distinctive sour-sweet flavor of strawberries was well-preserved.

The flavor was even better than he had expected, completely meeting his standards for the store’s flagship product!

“And then there’s… Ning Bao, who loves strawberries the most, he wouldn’t be able to resist this!” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.

“You did very well,” he couldn’t help but compliment Lin Yue.

The watermelon-headed young lady was quite easily embarrassed, and now she started to blush.

It must be said, praise from a paunchy, balding middle-aged boss doesn’t smell as sweet as compliments from a roguishly handsome boss!

With a slightly mischievous look on his face, he opened his mouth to compliment, and the feeling it gave to the female staff was somewhat different.

“Make me another cup,” said Cheng Zhu.

Then he quickly added, “Never mind, just teach me how to make it.”

He decided to get hands-on himself.

The roasted Black Sugar Bubble Milk Tea that Baby Lu enjoyed was made by me.

So, the one for Ning Bao should also be made by myself.

The main idea is to treat everyone equally and not to leave anyone out.

Not to mention, Shen Qingning loves strawberries and anything strawberry-flavored; having her taste and validate it would be very convincing.

As for Cheng Zhu himself…

“When the time comes, you taste the strawberries, and I’ll taste something else.”

The second update is still in the afternoon, I went to bed at 6:30 last night, trying to fix my messed-up biological clock…)
