Chapter 12 Keeping the Market Hungry
After having a simple dinner with Muzi, the two returned to the community in Siming District together.
When he got home, Song Qi was sitting on the sofa in the living room playing with his new mobile phone. When he saw his daughter coming back, he quickly stood up and said, "Have you eaten yet? Dad, will you cook some dumplings?"
"He came back from eating outside with Muzi."
Seeing a large area of mobile phone packaging boxes, manuals, and chargers placed on the table, Song You smiled and asked, "How are you doing, do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Song Qi looked embarrassed and handed the phone to his daughter: "How about you keep it and use it? I can just use mine."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to use it. I came here specifically to teach you. Nowadays, these electronic products are updated very quickly. You have to try to learn more and use them more, otherwise you will gradually be eliminated by society." Song Youan said seriously, holding up his hand has already begun to play with it: "I will record a face unlock for you first, so you don't have to enter the password when you turn on the phone."
……
Early the next morning, Song Youan was woken up by a phone call.
"Hello, who's there?"
She closed her eyes and asked in a worried tone.
A cold and magnetic male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, are you Miss Song You'an?"
"It's me." Song Youan opened her heavy eyelids and sat up, taking a look at the time on the screen of her phone, which was 9:27 AM.
"Hello, Ms. Song, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I am Chi Yu, the general manager of Lanting Club. All the work assigned to you by Lanting Club has been completed. I wonder when you will be free to come in person? Various departments We are all ready to report to you.”
Song You'an, whose thoughts were still half wandering in his dreams, immediately sat upright when he heard this, and his voice became more serious: "I'll go there around five o'clock today. In order to avoid delaying everyone's get off work, I will report the work first today. No need, just stay alone and wait for me.”
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Song Youan woke up completely.
To be honest, she was still unsure about taking over the Lanting Club because she didn't know how to do business, let alone run such a large club.
But now that it has become an established fact, she can only take it as it comes and bite the bullet.
The main task today is to go to Dazhao to deliver cakes to those wealthy ladies. Song Youan followed the principle of a conscientious businessman and chose the cake shop with the best reputation in Jinghai City to get the goods today.
Whether it is the craftsmanship or the taste of the ingredients, it is all better than the previous two days.
After changing clothes and arriving in Dazhao, Song Youan carried an incubator on her back and started delivering goods to each residence with the address in her hand. These noble residences were mostly located in the center of Kyoto, which would save her a lot of trouble.
She has also thought about not setting up a stall on the street in the future. Ordinary people can't afford her cake, so she might as well focus on the business of high-ranking nobles.
The first family is the Li family of the Duke of Su.
Tao'er next to Li Chuyou personally came out to pick up the goods, and Song You'an gave her an extra portion of Yangzhi nectar. The incubator was equipped with dry ice, and it was ice cold when it was taken out. In these dog days of summer, if Take a sip to dispel the heat and feel very comfortable.
"I would like to thank Miss Li for the reminder yesterday. This Yangzhi nectar was given to Miss by a common girl."
"Only my lady has it?" Yu'er asked with a smile.
Song You'an nodded: "This is just one piece. I hope Miss Tao'er will convey the gratitude of the common people to Miss Li."
Tuo'er was very happy when she heard this, and felt that Miss Song in front of her was very understanding of people and the world: "Don't worry, I will convey it to you. This is one hundred taels, girl, keep it."
Tuo'er turned around and was about to leave, but Song You'an said again: "One more thing, please send a message to Miss Tuo'er. The raw materials and ingredients for this batch of cakes have been exhausted, and there will be no more stock in the near future." "Huh?" Tuo'er was surprised. , asked: "But the lady likes it very much, what should I do if she wants to eat it?"
Song You'an smiled slightly and said: "The next batch of finished products will take half a month. If your lady likes it, you can make an order with me today and I will deliver it as scheduled."
"Wait a moment, Miss Song, I'll be back soon." Yu'er said, carrying the food box and trotting into the house.
After a while, he ran back and said: "Girl, you have been waiting for a long time. My lady said that it will be my wife's birthday in half a month, and there will be a big banquet for guests at the house. I want to order a hundred cakes of different flavors from the girl."
After saying this, Tao'er took out another hundred taels of silver notes in his hand: "This is the deposit!"
"Okay, the girl will deliver the things on time."
It was obvious that the quantity of goods could be sufficient every day, but Song Youan said that there was no more goods. This was a little trick on her part.
The reason is that she thought about how to make this business more sustainable all night, and the answer she finally came up with was to keep the market hungry.
If you can eat it whenever you want, then this cake is not a rare thing. Besides, no matter how delicious the food is, you will eventually get tired of it. She can't feed these ladies too much at once.
Only by pre-ordering and limited quantity can the freshness of the cake be maintained to the greatest extent. At least until she thinks of better business opportunities, the small cake must hold on and cannot expire at the speed of light.
Therefore, Song You'an of the following stores said that the next batch of goods had been ordered in advance by Miss Li from Duke Su's Mansion in preparation for the family's birthday.
In this regard, the ladies all expressed understanding and did not embarrass Song Youan.
Until arriving at Fuyang Hou Mansion.
"Miss Song, my lady invites you to come into the house for a chat."
Song Youan took a deep breath and nodded.
I followed the maid all the way through the front hall, the middle hall, and turned again and again in the corridor. I don't know how long I walked before I entered an elegant small room.
Zhu Ling was half leaning on the soft red sleeve wood. Seeing Song Youan coming, he slowly sat up with the help of the maid.
"The daughter of the people has met the young lady." Song You'an bowed respectfully.
Zhu Ling smiled slightly and raised her chin slightly: "Sit down and talk."
Song Youan glanced at the chair on one side, hesitated for a moment and sat down.
Zhu Ling has a straightforward personality and is not one to mince words. He immediately said straight to the point: "You said the next batch of cakes have been ordered by Sister Chu You?"
"Yes, there will be a birthday banquet in Duke Su's mansion in half a month. Miss Li and Minnu have ordered a hundred cakes, and the next batch of goods can only make this." Song You'an said with slightly lowered eyes.
Zhu Ling nodded slightly when he heard this: "Indeed, Mrs. Su Guo's birthday is coming soon, so it is reasonable for Sister Chu You to do this."
Hearing what she said, Song Youan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Zhu Ling changed the topic and asked tentatively: "Really, we can only make a hundred yuan? Miss Song, since we are open for business, why do you need to set the quantity so rigidly?"
Song Youan pursed her thin lips slightly, and her heart began to spin rapidly.
"I can still offer double the price. Rich girl, don't you want to make some money?" Zhu Ling leaned forward, hiding his usual arrogance, and discussed with Song You'an in a calm tone: "Maybe the girl wants some reward. ? As long as the girl opens her mouth, I will satisfy the girl!”
