[Unlocking Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children; unlocking the right to sell iced red tea.]

There had been only one beverage, Coke, in the fridge beside the cabinets. After the right to sell iced red tea was unlocked, crystal-like, translucent glass bottles with floral engravings appeared in the fridge. They looked grander and more up-scale compared to Coke.

The size of the bottle was twice of a Coke bottle.

Fang Qi glanced at the System Interface. [Iced red tea can be taken outside the shop to be shared with friends; 30 crystals per one bottle]

"Ugh?" Mr. Fang was surprised since the customers hadn't been allowed to take food out of the shop before. However, this iced tea could not only be shared with friends but be taken out of the shop as well.

At 30 crystals per bottle, its price was the most expensive among all the food and beverages! However, its volume was only twice that of a bottle of Coke.

Fang Qi studied the glass bottle that contained the iced red tea and found that it had a strengthened insulation array which could keep the liquid at a fixed temperature, which was probably why it could be taken out and was so expensive.

After all, regardless of how tasty Coke was, if one took it out and exposed it to the air for a while, it would lose its flavor and the stimulation to the taste buds after the bubbles disappeared. It would be reduced to an ordinary beverage. While bubbles and carbonation were easy to be lost and hard to keep after the seal was opened, iced red tea didn't have this problem.

...

As a mild-tempered old man, Gu Tingyun was old enough to be Nalan Hongwu's grandfather and had put the days of battle behind him long ago. Each day, he would discuss Dao with some old friends while tasting and appreciating tea. Nowadays, the Dao that they talked about contained many new things, but his life remained leisurely and simple.

He wasn't a fan of wine but loved drinking tea; he had tasted 1,000-year-old rain dragon tea, spiritual flower tea, and even a tiny bit of celestial tea that was saved in an ancient celestial relic.

Today, when he entered the shop, he saw a new item 'iced red tea' on the small blackboard.

"Ugh? Sir, what's this iced red tea?"

Mr. Fang pointed at the engraved glass bottles, which were much large than Coke bottle, in the fridge. "It's in the big bottles."

Everyone knew that this fridge was for; it was used to keep things cold.

Making tea was a slow process of boiling tea with a small fire; none of them had seen tea in a fridge before.

"Master, should we buy one bottle and try it?" Wang Xie asked tentatively.

"Okay!" Gu Tingyun nodded. "I'll take a bottle of iced red tea!"

He wanted to have a taste of the iced tea!

After paying, he immediately took one bottle from the fridge. After screwing off the cap, he took out three small teacups of red sandalwood color.

The black-robed Daoist Zhou Mo exclaimed behind them, "These are Purple Sand Cloud Dragon Cups that Master has treasured for many years. Junior Brother, you're in luck!"

Hearing his words, Gu Tingyu got a bit proud. "I wonder if the iced red tea deserves being contained in my teacups."

"Gulp! Gulp!" At this moment, a strange sound came from nearby.
