Chapter 160 Where did you buy it?

Li Na stared wide-eyed at the unassuming metal box.

Just smelling this scent made her mouth water uncontrollably, and her chest, which had been tight due to the heat, inexplicably felt a little better.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a clean spoon and scooped out a spoonful of the dark purplish-red, thick, amber-like paste from the tin box.

She put the raw liquid into three glasses and poured in ice water.

Stir gently with chopsticks.

The originally transparent ice water was instantly dyed into an extremely beautiful, deep purple with a cold and icy texture.

As it was stirred, the domineering sweet and sour aroma was fully released, as if the entire dormitory had been sprayed with a high-end cool-toned perfume, and even the slight heat in the air was suppressed.

"This is the original juice for sour plum drink."

Su Xiaoxiao pushed one of the cups in front of Li Na and said calmly, "Try it, it'll definitely cool you down."

Li Na picked up the cup with a hint of disbelief.

The color is indeed beautiful, and a fine layer of water droplets has already formed on the cup wall.

But how good can plum juice really be? It's just a little thicker than what's sold in the cafeteria.

With the mindset of just taking a sip to quench her thirst, she brought the rim of the cup to her lips and took a large sip.

"Gulp."

A purplish-red liquid slid into the mouth.

one second.

two seconds.

Li Na's body suddenly trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted.

The glass in her hand shook violently, and a few drops of ice water splashed onto the back of her hand.

"Well……"

Li Na's eyes widened instantly, her pupils reflecting an incredulous shock.

This is hardly plum juice!

The moment it enters your mouth, the tangy flavor of the plum and the refreshing taste of the hawthorn blend perfectly, without a trace of bitterness or dryness from artificial flavoring.

And the most amazing part is what happens after you swallow it!

An extremely ethereal, slightly chilly aftertaste slid down the esophagus into the stomach, where it exploded!

The feeling was like trekking through a desert at 38 degrees Celsius for three days and three nights, and then suddenly plunging into a pool of icy, pure, and pristine snow mountain spring!

The stuffiness, irritability, and dry mouth were all washed away in that instant!

"ha--"

Li Na let out a long breath.

She grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's arm, her voice cracking with excitement:

"Xiaoxiao!! Where did you buy this?! What the hell is this magic potion?!"

Seeing Li Na's exaggerated reaction, Chen Min and Wang Jia, who were standing next to her, quickly picked up their cups and took a big gulp.

"Cough cough... Holy crap!"

Chen Min immediately swore, touching her chest with an incredulous expression.

"I was feeling dizzy and nauseous just now, but after this bite, my stomach feels so much better! It's not greasy at all!"

"Xiaoxiao, what kind of amazing brand is this? How much does a bottle cost? Quickly send me the link, I want to stock up on a case for my dorm!"

Wang Jia hurriedly took out her phone.

Seeing her roommates' crazy antics, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile.

Brother Lin is right. This kind of truly top-notch flavor doesn't need any fancy packaging or marketing. Just one bite and no one can resist it.

"It's not available for sale online."

Su Xiaoxiao held her cup with both hands and said truthfully:

"This is concentrated liquor that the owner of the shop where I worked makes by hand. A cup of it costs eighty-eight dollars."

"Eighty-eight?!"

The three girls exclaimed in surprise at the same time. For college students whose monthly living expenses are only one or two thousand yuan, selling a drink for eighty-eight yuan is simply robbery.

"etc……"

Li Na was quick-witted; she suddenly remembered something, slammed her hand on the table, and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao:

"The shop you work at... isn't it that 'Lin's Shop' that's been trending on Jiangcheng's local social media lately, the one that sells 288 yuan scrambled eggs with tomatoes and 1888 yuan boiled cabbage in clear broth?!"

"Yes, that's right." Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Holy crap! You actually work at that legendary... oh no, that amazing restaurant?!"

Li Na was so excited that she jumped up from her chair, even losing one of her slippers in the process.

"The internet is in an uproar! People are saying that the store's operation was staged for publicity, and others are saying the owner hired a bunch of bigwigs as shills! I was arguing with someone about it today!"

Li Na glanced down at the half-full glass of purplish-red plum juice in her hand, swallowed, and her tone completely changed:

"If it tastes like this... I believe big bosses would be willing to queue up every day for 188 yuan, let alone 88! It's not about the money at all. After drinking this, I feel like all the hair I lost from staying up all night watching dramas will grow back!"

"No, I have to post a message on Xiaohongshu!"

Li Na is an impatient person. She immediately picked up her phone and took a picture of the plum juice on the table and the inconspicuous silver tin box.

Fingers flew across the keyboard:

[This warning post has turned into a guaranteed hit! Fellow roommates, does anyone understand?! The air conditioning in Building 4 was broken and I was almost dying of heat, so my roommate brought back the legendary 88-yuan cup of sour plum juice from "Lin's Shop"! I thought it was a rip-off, but one sip and I felt like I was ascending to heaven! This is absolutely a life-saving elixir! The owner's skills are amazing, I'll fight anyone who criticizes this shop!]

As soon as the post was published, because it carried the most controversial traffic label in Jiangcheng recently, "Lin's Shop", coupled with the active nighttime schedule of university students, a bunch of comments immediately popped up.

[Really? Nana, you weren't scammed by someone who recharged their account too, were you?]

"88 yuan a cup? You might as well sell me for water."

[But look at this color, it's amazing! There's not a trace of that cheap, artificial red from cheap pigments; it feels very rich.]

[Looking for a proxy buyer! Also looking for a bite to eat! The ladies in Building 4 are going crazy from the heat!]

Looking at the comments on her phone, Li Na proudly raised her chin: "Xiaoxiao, do you believe it or not, if this thing were sold near our school tomorrow, it would be snapped up like crazy!"

As Su Xiaoxiao watched the messages constantly popping up on Li Na's phone screen, a weight was finally lifted from her heart.

Brother Lin has an amazing eye for talent.

The speed at which these young people spread information and their curiosity far surpass that of any GG brand.

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Fan opened his eyes precisely on the large bed in Jinmao Mansion.

He closed his eyes and entered the farm space, carrying out a routine harvest and reseeding.

Looking at the increasingly abundant high-gluten flour, tribute rice, and various premium meats in Tiangongfang's warehouse, his confidence grew stronger.

After waiting for the school bus from the early childhood education center to pick up Tuantuan, they continued their journey.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Fan drove his Wuling Hongguang to Phoenix Golden Street as usual.

Business is still booming, and today there are even more luxury cars with out-of-town license plates among the people queuing up.

During a break from his busy schedule, Lin Fan received a call from Qin Lang.
