Chapter 264 When there's meat, let's all eat together; when there's soup, let's
Chapter 264 Let's all eat the meat together and drink the soup together!
Everyone was extremely surprised upon hearing this.
Someone exclaimed excitedly, "What? This event can be extended for two more days? Is that really possible?"
"Really? Your shop is so big, you can't keep fooling people like this. We're not stupid. If you keep trying to cheat us, we'll ruin your reputation. Whether it's owned by the Lin family or jointly owned with Manager Su, we don't care."
"That's right, if you keep playing tricks on people, everyone will definitely ruin your reputation!"
"..."
"..."
Wu Yu's expression was gentle and his attitude respectful. He said slowly, "Esteemed guests, please listen to me. Our pig's trotter shop is a large business, and we have just opened it with a lot of money. We can't just disappear anytime soon. Since we said the event would be extended for two days, we will definitely extend it for two days. If we fail to keep our word, you are welcome to come and smash our signboard. We will not say a word."
"I'm sure you all have things to do, so please don't waste any more time here. We apologize for disturbing your peace and quiet today." He then bowed to everyone.
He continued, "Why don't you all go and take care of your own business as soon as possible? That way, our shop can finish cleaning up earlier and go out to buy raw pig's trotters. With more time to buy, we can bring back more breakfast and prepare it for everyone early tomorrow. What do you all think?"
Some guests carefully considered Wu Yu's words and felt that what he said made sense.
Everyone crowded into the shop and made a fuss, but the shop had already sold out. Even if everyone refused to give up and made a fuss all day, they couldn't get anything out of it, and they couldn't conjure up any braised pig's trotters for everyone.
It would be better to close up shop sooner, so that the shop can be cleaned up and people can go out to buy more food. That way, everyone will have a chance to buy such affordable braised pig's trotters.
"Since you've shown your sincerity, we can't afford to linger here any longer and waste each other's time. But we all heard you say the event will be extended by two days and the quantity will be increased, so you can't go back on your word."
Lin Xiaotang and Wu Yu exchanged a glance, secretly pleased, thinking that these difficult guests had finally relented.
The two nodded quickly in agreement. "Of course. Since we dare to make a promise to everyone, we will keep our word. If we were unwilling to give it away to everyone, then why would we hold this promotional event, right?"
Among the crowd, there were inevitably a few more reasonable customers. Seeing that Lin Xiaotang and Wu Yu spoke sincerely and respectfully, unlike the shrewd shopkeepers, they began to change their attitude and speak up for Lin Xiaotang and Wu Yu.
"What the young man and woman said is not wrong. There are only a few butcher shops in this county. Everyone should know that each butcher shop slaughters a few pigs a day, so there aren't many raw pig trotters. Their new shop has just opened, so it's understandable that they don't have many raw pig trotters for a while."
Since they're willing to extend the event by two days, we might as well make another trip. After all, their braised pig's trotters are really delicious, exactly the same as the ones sold at Wanhe Restaurant.
"That's right. In this huge Dushui County, there are several restaurants that sell braised pig's trotters. After comparing them, Wanhe Restaurant's braised pig's trotters are still the best. If it weren't for the fact that this braised pig's trotter shop and Wanhe Restaurant use the same recipe and are made by the same company, we wouldn't have made a special trip here to buy them."
"Sigh, it's really delicious, but the portion is too small. It's gone as soon as we came to buy it."
"That's why it's so delicious! Let's come earlier tomorrow and buy it right away. Don't hesitate. I've had this braised pig's trotters before, and the taste and texture are unbeatable. If you hesitate any longer, other customers will snatch them up first. Just smelling the aroma without being able to taste it will only make you crave it more."
“Yes, you’re right!” The customer nodded vigorously, and then immediately said to Lin Xiaotang and Wu Yu, “We’re sold out today, so you two should hurry out and buy more so we can come back tomorrow. Make sure you prepare plenty.”
Lin Xiaotang and Wu Yu immediately nodded in agreement.
After finally calming down the customers and sending them out, Lin Xiaotang and Wu Yu didn't dare to rest for a moment. They asked Liu Cai'er to tidy up the shop, and the two of them ate a simple meal. Then they went out and rented a horse-drawn carriage, and drove to two counties they had never been to before, buying seventy or eighty raw pig trotters.
Fortunately, the two newly visited counties did not yet have restaurants selling braised pig's trotters, so they bought up all the pig's trotters from the butcher shops.
Wu Yu noticed that there weren't many raw pig trotters in the carriage, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Xiao Tang, although we bought dozens more, our store has just opened, and most of our customers came because of the promotion. If we don't prepare enough, those customers won't be able to buy any, and some of them will definitely cause trouble again. What should we do?"
"Yes, those customers have already made some tough statements. If we can't keep our word, we'll break our promise to them, and that won't do our shop any good for its reputation."
However, many customers come with the intention of getting a good deal, and they are not necessarily repeat customers. If we satisfy every request they make, our store will not be able to continue operating.
Today's event is over, but they want tomorrow's too. When tomorrow's event ends, they want the day after tomorrow even more. They want discounts every day and keep making a fuss. In that case, our store will never be able to return to normal prices.
"In the next two days, we'll focus on increasing sales volume and fulfilling the extended two-day discount promise. Once the promotion ends, we'll immediately revert to the original price. No matter how much they complain, we must stick to our principles and not let our customers' emotions dictate our decisions."
Looking at the seven-year-old girl in front of him, Wu Yu was impressed by her eloquent and thoughtful manner, which was even more comprehensive than that of many adults.
"Xiao Tang, now I understand why the manager asked you to supply braised pig's trotters. Originally, Wanhe Restaurant only accepted ingredients, and all dishes were made by the restaurant's chefs."
"At such a young age, you've managed to make such delicious food with your parents, and you also have such a good business sense. The shopkeeper has a keen eye for people; he's made the right choice in partnering with you."
Lin Xiaotang covered her mouth and chuckled. She thought Wu Yu was also very easy to get along with.
"Yes, Manager Su is very good at judging people, so you are also excellent. With your help, our business will definitely get better and better, and the sales will grow bigger and bigger."
Wu Yu said somewhat embarrassedly, "The shopkeeper said that the wages at our braised pig's trotters shop are higher than those at restaurants, is that right?"
Lin Xiaotang patted her chest, looking righteous, and said, "Of course! As long as we can make money, we'll all eat meat together and drink soup together!"
Let's eat meat and drink soup together?
This was the first time Wu Yu had ever met such a good employer who treated his employees like family, which was completely unexpected.
He bowed and said, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work. I am truly fortunate to have such an opportunity!"
"Young man, don't be so polite. We're all on the same side. Your wages will be set at three taels of silver a month for now, and we'll raise them later depending on the situation."
What, three ounces?
