Chapter 195 Can’t Sell
Inviting Xia Mingyue to sit down, Mrs. Liu poured a cup of hot tea.
The new tea I bought yesterday is called Biluochun. It has a fragrant fragrance after brewing. Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Liu also think they can use it.
After Xia Mingyue sat down, she felt the couple's earnest eyes and said with a smile, "We are not outsiders. If we have anything to say, Shopkeeper Qian and Madam Liu might as well say it directly."
After the couple looked at each other, Liu spoke.
"As Madam Xia said, we are old friends, so let's get right to the point." Liu said, "We want to talk to Madam Xia about doing business."
< br>“The business of my family’s cosmetics shop has been sluggish since last year. I previously thought of placing Lady Xia’s food shop near my shop, so that I could attract some customers, so it’s just a little better.”
< br>"But during this period, Zhao Ji's powder shop has brought in a lot of new products, and has also hired two guys who are good at making powder. The products are better than ours, and the price is not expensive, which makes it more and more like our products. It’s expensive and difficult to use, and business has been going from bad to worse these days.”
“I discussed with my husband whether we should change our profession and do some side business so that my family’s space would not be wasted. , I have been thinking about it for a long time, I really don’t understand the business, and I don’t dare to do it rashly without a reliable person to help me.”
Shopkeeper Qian answered, “This is the time. Seeing that Madam Xia’s breakfast stall is doing very well, and the number of people joining it is not that large, I just wanted to ask Madam Xia, can my wife and I join one?”
I want to start a breakfast catering business.
Xia Mingyue paused, thinking about the situation of Shopkeeper Qian's shop, and said in a deep voice, "You can join, but I don't recommend you to be a breakfast stall."
< br>"Why?" Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Liu looked at each other.
“Your shop is not very big. If it were to be turned into a breakfast shop, the pots and other items would have to be placed outside. There wouldn’t be enough tables to sit in the room, and the number of customers it could accommodate might not be as good as a food stall. ”
Xia Mingyue said, "Besides, the open space in front of your door has been made into a food stall at noon, and there is no room to place your cooking stoves. They are forced to be placed at the door. Not to mention it looks cluttered. If the people passing by are touched by the burnt ones, they will be burned." It’s a troublesome thing.”
"Then..." Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Liu were suddenly discouraged.
Is this food stall really impossible to build?
“But you can try other food businesses.” Xia Mingyue smiled.
Other food business?
Shopkeeper Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Ms. Xia, do you mean to make some fresh food?"
"I just mentioned that I wanted to find a small shop, but it was because of this new food." Xia Mingyue said, "But although it is a new food, it is not new. It is quite common outside. It is just an ordinary braised food business. That’s all.”
“No matter what it is, As long as it's made by Mrs. Xia, it will taste delicious. "Even if it's braised food, it won't taste the same as other people's food." Yes, and because I like the taste, I have eaten all of them many times.
Mr. Liu highly recognized Xia Mingyue's craftsmanship.
And quite confident.
Being supported like this, Xia Mingyue also had a smile on her lips, "Mrs. Liu has said so, if I don't join this braised food franchise to your family, I'm afraid it won't work."
The playful words made shopkeeper Qian and his wife laugh, but they were also relieved that Xia Mingyue agreed.
“However, Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Liu have never been in the food business, and this is my first time doing the braised food business. I don’t have much experience, so I suggest that you don’t need to overhaul the entire shop at once. Set up a small stall at the door and try selling it for a few days to see how it goes," Xia Mingyue suggested.
When you try selling by yourself, whether you make money or lose money, you are responsible for it all, and there is no burden in your heart.
Now that she has a franchise store, she, as a brand owner, needs to be responsible to the franchise store and avoid some problems as much as possible.
"Okay, we've written it down." Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement, "Everything will be subject to Madam Xia's advice."
The two parties reached a basic cooperation intention, Xia Mingyue and Qian The shopkeeper and his wife roughly discussed the time for the trial sale and the type of braised food.
After the details were discussed, Xia Mingyue began to braise the braised meat according to the type agreed upon with Shopkeeper Qian and his wife.
Vegetarian dishes are naturally indispensable. Dried tofu, peanuts, yuba, and braised eggs are essential. Lotus root slices and potato slices are seasonal vegetables in winter. They are also cheap and very suitable.
In terms of meat dishes, most of the popular ones on the market are whole braised chickens, braised pork livers, braised elbows, pig faces, etc.
At the beginning of the trial operation, Xia Mingyue decided to serve less and just braise a few whole chickens and elbows to try.
In the middle of the afternoon, I made all these braised dishes and soaked them in the stewed soup overnight to fully absorb the flavors. In the morning of the next day, a stall selling braised dishes was set up at the door of Qianji.
Qianji Powder Shop is an old shop. Everyone has already known about it and got used to it. Now when they saw a stall selling braised food here, and the person shouting the news was shopkeeper Qian, they were very surprised. .
“Shopkeeper Qian is planning to change his career?”
"Tsk, shopkeeper Qian really knows how to do business. He used to sell powder when it was easy to sell. Now that Xia Ji has become famous, he hastened to cooperate with Xia Ji. If this business continues, all the money in the world will be lost. Shopkeeper Qian made money!”
"Shopkeeper Qian has a great business..."
"Shopkeeper Qian, how do you sell this vegetarian braised pork?"
Many acquaintances greeted each other, and they all said different things to Shopkeeper Qian. There are also different attitudes towards selling braised food.
Some people carry guns and sticks, some sincerely support it, and some are indifferent.
Shopkeeper Qian has been in business for a long time, and is very accustomed to this kind of facial expressions of favor. For some people who are not sincere, he just treats them with a smile, while those who sincerely support them will give them a high enough rating. Add an extra thing or two.
The first wave of enthusiasm for the trial sale passed quickly. The vegetarian braised food at the stall sold for 77, 88 or 88, but the braised whole chicken and pork knuckles were bought by only two people who had a good relationship with shopkeeper Qian. After two visits, no normal customers came to ask.
The sun was getting higher and it was getting closer to noon. Shopkeeper Qian was also feeling a little panicked.
Although braised food can be kept for one or two days in winter, Xia Ji has never had a rule of eating it overnight, and if left on the second day, the quality will inevitably deteriorate and the taste will be lost. It affects Xia Kee’s brand name and is even more detrimental to their future braised food sales.
The couple have tasted the braised chicken and braised pork elbows. They are much more delicious than those sold in Yueran Restaurant, but now they cannot sell them...
