Chapter 65 Baxianlou promotes jam
Su Xiaoxiao and Sun talked about doing the same promotion at their stalls.
Sure enough, it attracted a lot of people who came to the market today. They usually brought their children, and the children rushed to grab the steamed bun slices dipped in jam to eat.
Because the trial effect was very good, many parents ended up spending money to buy the steamed bun slices.
Su Xiaoxiao and Sanlang were busy until noon. Wang Er came over with lunch for Sun. It happened that Wang Er also helped look after the stall.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Mrs. Sun: "Sister Sun, I will leave this place to you and your wife. Sanlang and I will go to the Eight Immortals Tower and bring you delicious food when we come back."
Mrs. Sun smiled and nodded: "Xiaoxiao, go ahead and do your work. It's enough for us and my wife to be here."
Su Xiaoxiao took Sanlang out together and went directly to the Eight Immortals Tower.
Sanlang still looked a little embarrassed, "Xiaoxiao, are you going to invite me to dinner? Is this considered our first date alone?"
Su Xiaoxiao also didn't expect that Sanlang would be so understanding.
There was no other way, so Su Xiaoxiao said to Sanlang: "Yes, that's right, but we are not just going to eat, we are going to do things."
Saburo still didn't understand it, but of course he would be happy if he was going to eat at the largest restaurant in town.
As soon as I arrived in front of the restaurant, I heard a burst of people.
This time, Su Xiaoxiao entered the Eight Immortals Tower and immediately ordered their fish and meat dishes.
Sure enough, after the jam was served, it was compared with the jam made by Su Xiaoxiao's family.
The quality of Baxianlou's jam is really quite different. The taste is bland and astringent.
It tastes very unpleasant, but if it is dipped in the jam made by Su Xiaoxiao, it will taste sweet and sour, and the sweetness and sourness can combine the fishy smell of the fish meat itself.
Saburo was originally very resistant to fish meat. He didn't like to eat raw food.
But this time, when he took the first bite, he said, "It's delicious!"
He seemed very excited and talked more.
Saburo was shouting like this, and the table next to him looked at it and thought it was delicious. They also wanted to taste the jam.
"Boy, will you serve us some of this jam?"
When the waiter saw it, he quickly served their jam to the guests at the next table.
As a result, after the waiter left, the guests at the next table tasted the fish meat dipped in jam, and their opinions were average.
"No, little brother, the taste of this jam is average. Is it worthy of your praise?"
Sanlang and Su Xiaoxiao took a look and found that they were still eating the jam provided by Baxianlou. The taste was of course average.
Saburo said to the guests at the next table: "This jam is made at home. If you are willing, I can give it to you to try."
Sanlang glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao had no objection.
Saburo took a bottle of jam to the next table and poured a small dish of jam on their plates.
The guests at that table happened to be eating fish breasts too, so they took a bite of the jam.
Unexpectedly, a very appreciative expression appeared on his face immediately.
"tasty."
The other people next to him didn't believe it when they saw his exaggerated expression, and they all stretched their chopsticks towards the jam.
I didn’t expect to get the same answer, it’s really delicious!
The waiter came over to serve the food and frowned when he saw this scene. "Two distinguished guests, did you bring this jam yourself?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said yes.
"We do not allow outside food to be eaten in our store."
The situation was very embarrassing at that time, and it was actually hard to tell what the situation was. Su Xiaoxiao didn't know that it was the same in the former Tang Dynasty. The store did not allow outside food to be eaten in the wine shop.
Before Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, the guests next to her stopped eating after tasting the jam made by Su Xiaoxiao.
"Waiter, when you open your door to do business, you have to do it according to the needs of the customers. Since the jam made by others tastes better than the jam you make, why can't you bring it in for our customers to taste?"
One sentence stopped the waiter, and that was indeed the case.
"This... Anyway, this is what our shopkeeper has stipulated, and we have nothing to do."
Just as he was talking, the shopkeeper came over.
The shopkeeper's surname was Wang. He came over and asked, "What happened?"
The waiter told this matter to Shopkeeper Wang, who said: "Guest, the reason why we stipulate that takeout is not allowed is because we are afraid that it will affect the taste of our food. It will reduce the quality of this dish. You see this Can you explain it?”
Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid of this. She came over and said to Shopkeeper Wang politely: "Hello, Shopkeeper Wang. The jam I made is very suitable for the guests' taste, and everyone said it is good. Your restaurant is the largest in this town. In the restaurant, important guests usually come over for dinner. I believe this jam will taste much better than the jam made by the master chef in your restaurant.”
Shopkeeper Wang saw that Su Xiaoxiao was so confident, so he also tried to taste it, and then compared it with the jam made by the master of their restaurant.
"That's really what happened."
The smooth and fragrant jam is indeed delicious to eat.
"But there are no such rules here, and I can't make the decision."
It turns out that Shopkeeper Wang is just the shopkeeper in charge of the Eight Immortals House. In fact, the real major shareholders behind the scenes are the Qian family.
The Qian family is a big family in Xianglan Ancient Town, and they have a lot of money. They are really rich.
"Actually, I also want to introduce your jam, but I don't care about this matter. I'll wait until our Mr. Qian comes to inspect the store, and then we can draw a conclusion."
Although this jam now wins the favor of Shopkeeper Wang, he still doesn’t count on it.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give up and have lunch with Sanlang here, leaving a bottle of jam for shopkeeper Wang.
After the two people left, in the private room on the top floor, the curtain was lifted, and there was a young and handsome face, staring at the back of the two people, with an unknown smile on his face.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the market and found that both Sun and Wang Er were so busy that they almost hit the back of their heads.
"Everyone came over to grab the jam."
Sun used the word "rob", which is quite appropriate.
At the jam stall, many people queued up but couldn't get a tael of jam. Usually there were more parents with children.
Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied. She had not expected such a scene.
She had previously thought that hunting and picking barley were not very stable. Hunting was dangerous, and she might not encounter big tigers every day. But if jam could be turned into a business, it would really have a bright future.
Su Xiaoxiao is glad that she still knows this craft. If she gradually expands the jam industry, she will expand her business territory in the future. Su Xiaoxiao is confident that she will do her best.
