Chapter 72 WPG0072: The trouble Xia Yuqing’s mother and daughter encountered
An Wuyang chatted with Xia Yuqing for a few more words before ending the call. Then he got up from the sofa and prepared to go to Zhuyuyuan.
Before going out, An Wuyang casually sent a message to An Huchun and Li Wenya, asking them if they would go home for dinner.
As a result, An Huchun said that he would work overtime, and Li Wenya also said that he had received a difficult case that needed to be dealt with. An Wuyang took the car keys and went out.
Almost half an hour later, An Wuyang finally arrived at Zhuyuyuan.
Damn the traffic jam in the evening rush hour!
An Wuyang found a temporary parking space on the roadside and quickly parked in. It was not easy to find a parking space during the evening rush hour, so he was lucky.
An Wuyang got off the car, looked at the picture message sent by Xia Yuqing, and then searched for it according to the picture.
In less than two minutes, An Wuyang saw Xia Yuqing.
I saw Xia Yuqing and Lin Xin both wearing floral aprons, and they were cooperating. Xia Yuqing was responsible for weighing, payment and packaging related matters, while Lin Xin was responsible for changing the cutting knife, mixing ingredients, and asking customers about their tastes, etc. matter.
When An Wuyang arrived, there happened to be a young man who was selecting, but the selection was very slow and his eyes looked at Xia Yuqing from time to time.
Is this a drunkard who is not interested in drinking?
As the saying goes, bystanders are wise, and An Wuyan is a bystander.
After almost two or three minutes, the young man finally put down the stainless steel food tongs.
An Wuyang discovered a new blind spot, that is, the young man chose very few dishes, only some cowpeas, cauliflower, lotus root slices, and potato slices.
An Wuyang secretly put an end to the other party. This person's heart was a desert!
To put it more heart-breakingly, this is: Don’t think about flirting with beautiful women if you don’t have money, because you really don’t deserve it if you don’t have money.
Some people may say that love and money should not be linked, otherwise it is money worship.
But money can be demonized, but must beauty be sanctified?
Only toads are allowed to eat swans, and golden toads are not allowed to participate?
An Wuyang shook his head slightly and threw away these thoughts that were not conducive to unity. He took the initiative to say hello, "Classmate Xia, auntie, hello."
Xia Yuqing heard An Wuyang's voice, and she immediately responded happily, "You are really here!"
Lin Xin looked at An Wuyang hesitantly.
An Wuyang nodded slightly, "Didn't I tell you, I don't know what to eat tonight, so I just came over to take a look."
"Auntie, I'm going to buy something later. You have to give me a discount!" An Wuyang said cheekily on purpose. In fact, it was to break the deadlock and create a harmonious atmosphere.
Lin Xin felt a little relieved and said, "Okay, you can see what you want to eat. Auntie is treating you today."
"Hey!" An Wuyang chuckled, "Auntie, it's a treat! Then I won't be polite!"
"Classmate Xia, can you help introduce me? What are the prices of these dishes?" An Wuyang asked.
Xia Yuqing pointed to a small stand on the long table, "All vegetarian dishes are 30 yuan per catty, braised pig ears and pig tails are 80 yuan per catty, braised beef tendon is 120 yuan per catty, and Braised chicken legs are 15 yuan each. ”
This price
A bit expensive!
No!
To be precise, this price is very expensive!
Although An Wuyang did not buy vegetables often, An Wuyang had basic common sense in life. He knew very well that the price of vegetarian dishes was very cheap. Take the potato slices, lotus root slices, and green bamboo shoot slices on Lin Xin’s stall as examples. The price of these vegetables should be very cheap when purchased at the wet market.
For example, the price of potatoes will not exceed 3 yuan per catty at most; green bamboo shoots are lettuce heads, and their price can even be as low as 1 yuan per catty; only lotus roots may be a little more expensive, but they only cost 5 yuan at most. It’s only six yuan a pound.
However, Lin Xin's sales price for these vegetarian dishes has reached 30 yuan per catty. Isn't it expensive?
If the price of vegetarian dishes still seems not expensive, then take braised chicken legs as an example. Does a braised chicken leg cost 15 yuan?
Such a price is naturally no problem for a well-known chain braised food brand.
If it is placed in a mid-to-high-end restaurant, the price is no problem.
However, Lin Xin runs a roadside stall!
This price shouldn’t be appropriate for a roadside stall, right?
Lin Xin seemed to see what An Wuyang was thinking, and she took the initiative to ask, "Classmate An, do you think our pricing is unreasonable?"
An Wuyang nodded without concealment, "I do feel that way."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xia Yuqing answered on behalf of her mother, "Classmate An, we use real ingredients, such as these potatoes, we use the best fresh potatoes, not the pre-made potato chips."
Premade potato chips have various problems, including inconsistent quality, worse taste, etc.
"The same goes for green bamboo shoots and lotus root slices. We all use fresh ones and we take them home and process them ourselves." Xia Yuqing added.
Processing by yourself means more human resources and time costs.
"Pig ears and tails, beef tendons, and chicken legs, we all choose fresh or chilled products instead of regular frozen products." Xia Yuqing added.
"In addition, these braised products also have the problem of shrinkage. For example, after a pound of fresh beef tendon is braised, its weight is usually between 7 taels and 8 taels." Xia Yuqing popularizes these tips about life for An Wuyou.
"Our chicken legs actually have very little profit, because the purchase price is close to 8 yuan each. We have to do secondary processing, including fish removal and marinating, plus seasoning and natural gas costs, etc. If they are sold cheaper You will lose money." Xia Yuqing explained quickly.
Hearing this, An Wuyang was a little surprised
Because this small stall in Xia Yuqing's home has encountered the same trouble as Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group - bad money chasing good money!
Lin Xin did choose better raw materials, but so what?
For customers who buy braised chicken legs, they only know that the braised chicken legs here in Lin Xin cost 15 yuan each, while the braised chicken legs next door only cost 6 yuan or even 5 yuan each.
Under this price gap and the consumption scene superimposed on roadside stalls, how do most customers choose? Do we still need to consider it?
An Wuyang couldn't help but sigh, life is really wonderful, isn't it?
The roadside stall encountered the same trouble as Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group!
"Classmate An, do you still think our pricing is unreasonable?" Xia Yuqing asked hesitantly.
An Wuyang nodded, "I think it's really unreasonable because the consumption scenario does not match the pricing."
"Auntie." An Wuyang looked at Lin Xin, "I just recently understood a truth. In business, sometimes you can only make money without a conscience."
Lin Xin frowned, of course she knew this.
Just asking her to be ungrateful, she really can't do it.
