August 6th marked Liqiu—the Beginning of Autumn according to the traditional Chinese calendar.

Since then, the days have been getting a bit cooler, and it's no longer as unbearably hot.

Yesterday, while strolling through social media, I noticed a trend: everyone was sharing funny pictures about “The First Cup of Milk Tea in Autumn.”

I’m not sure when this became a thing, but it’s definitely caught on!

Young people are crazy about it and make sure to have their milk tea on the day of Liqiu.

Given the tough job market these past few years, consumers shift to more affordable options and reduce spending on non-essential or luxury items due to economic conditions or financial constraints. but not on the little joys—like milk tea!

A cup of milk tea is around 20 RMB, which is affordable and a small treat that people still indulge in.

Milk tea has even become a must-have for small talk. ️ Whether you're shopping, meeting friends, or dining out, milk tea is always part of the experience.

So, did you have your first cup of milk tea this autumn? How much did it cost? I haven’t had mine yet!

8月6日是立秋，按照我们中国传统历法，秋天就正式开始了。

从这一天起，白天的温度就开始慢慢下降，不会那么热了。

昨天刷手机时，我发现了个有趣的现象：大家都在晒有关“秋天的第一杯奶茶”的搞笑图片。

我不知道这个“传统”是什么时候开始的，但的确现在非常流行！

年轻人乐此不疲，奶茶店应接不暇。在立秋当天一定要喝上第一杯奶茶。

这些年就业情况不太乐观，大家都在消费降级，但对于一些生活小确幸，比如一杯奶茶，还是舍得花钱的。

一杯奶茶大概20块人民币，还算可以接受的小奢侈。

而且奶茶甚至已经成为了小聊必备的。️ 无论是逛街、见朋友，还是去餐厅吃饭，手里总要有杯奶茶。

你今年秋天的第一杯奶茶喝了吗？花了多少钱？

我没喝，打算自己在家做！
