Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Liu was stunned by what Lu You said, but then she gave two dry laughs.

"Look at my brain! I haven't figured out such a small thing. What you said makes sense. I'll do as you say!"

"But there is one thing that I can't figure out."

"Auntie, please speak." Lu You said with a smile.

Liu frowned slightly: "You don't want to sell more because things are valuable because they are rare. I understand this."

"But they want to pay to order sesame cakes for tomorrow, why don't you let me collect the money?"

Hearing Liu's question, Lu You pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Aunt, let me ask you."

"Tell me, why do we hang the brass bell under the plaque instead of hanging it inside the house?"

"Why do you have to arrange for Xiao Douzi to pick the bells and shout out the name of the customer selling sesame cakes?"

"Of course it's for face!" Liu answered casually, "But what does this have to do with the meals reserved for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? They paid the deposit, and I just let Xiaodouzi do the cooking."

Lu You shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"Auntie, if that's the case, then it's all in vain!"

Liu was puzzled, and Lu You did not keep her in suspense and explained with a smile.

“If anyone who comes can make a reservation, will the same person order several pancakes?”

"Of course not." Liu frowned and replied, "Those guys made reservations just to try something new. Who would reserve several tables of food at once before trying it?"

"exactly!"

Lu You said with a smile.

"Although there aren't many people in this city who can afford to spend three taels of silver on a cake, there are still quite a few."

"Although our cakes are popular, if these rich gentlemen can line up to buy them, who will cherish them?"

"Ten cakes a day. These ten quotas are not something you can buy with money. They need to send servants to wait in front of our door."

"There are always people who can't eat, and there are always people who don't get their turn. Only those who spend money and get to eat are definitely superior to others, and only then will they feel that the three cents of silver are worth spending."

"Are you right?"

After hearing Lu You's explanation, Liu's face was full of surprise.

"So... you can do business this way? I am so superficial!"

"Luyou, who did you learn this business from? This is amazing, isn't it?"

In response to Liu's praise, Lu You just smiled and nodded, but did not dare to have any thoughts of being proud of himself.

At this point, Lu You finally understood why the time travelers in novels were all doing well.

It mainly lies in the information gap!

For example, today’s series of promotional ideas.

There is a prize for hanging banners. Five taels of silver correspond to a big prize such as a car. Anyway, the bigger the gimmick, the more people will be attracted.

Limited supply is a typical hunger marketing method, which makes supply less than demand and stimulates people's desire to check in.

As for picking the copper bells and shouting, they are simply imitating the methods of those popular dishes on Internet.

For example, Salt Bae's steak, or soak a rose in liquid nitrogen, freeze it hard, then crush it and sprinkle it on the fried meat rolls.

As long as the form far exceeds the value of the dish itself, it’s fine. After all, all everyone wants is face!

In fact, in order to prevent these natives from the other world from rejecting modern practices, Lu You also planned to do the same as Xicha and hire a bunch of people to queue up when the business opens to create the illusion that business is booming.

But who would have thought that these people were as easy to catch as black carp and were so easily fooled.

"These are just some clever ideas that come to mind, and they are not worthy of being put on the table."

Lu You said modestly, and then changed the subject.

"Aunt, you know the taste of sesame cakes. I am confident that in three days at most, these sesame cakes will be well-known throughout Qingshi Town."

"Since the sesame cakes are sold as a bundle with your food and drinks, I'm afraid your business will become busy soon."

Upon hearing this, Liu smiled brightly: "This is all thanks to you! Don't worry, if I make money here, I will definitely not treat you and your sister unfairly."

Hearing what Liu said, Lu You shook his head slightly.

"Auntie, I don't want a penny except the money for the cakes."

"But I have to make it clear to you in advance. I can deliver cakes to you every day, but Lu Yi and Lu Ming will not come to the restaurant to work as errand boys."

"They are still young and have a lot to learn. I sell cakes to support them in their studies. If they end up waiting tables here, then it would be meaningless whether I sell cakes or not."

[Negative emotions from Liu +30, +30, +30...]

Lu You’s words made the smile on Liu’s face freeze.

She had really just been thinking of asking Lu Ming and Lu Yi to help her wait on table and make fire, so as to get two laborers for free.

But she didn't expect Lu Yo to tell her all this in advance, which disrupted her plans.

Although she was unwilling in her heart, Liu still had a smile on her face.

"Look at your powerful little mouth. Is your aunt such a cheap person?"

"It's really too late today. Let them run around. We'll naturally have to find errand boys tomorrow."

Lu You smiled slightly when he heard this: "Thank you very much for your care, Auntie."

"If I don't love you, who else can I love?" Liu said with a smile: "Oh, right, there is no one who can match the couplet outside, right?"

"probably not."

As he spoke, Lu You turned and looked at the crowd watching outside.

The plot of this trigonometric function induction formula comes from a novel she had read before.

It tells the story of two good friends who traveled to ancient times at the same time. In order to find a partner, one of them wrote "odd numbers change but even numbers remain the same" on the city gate as an incision.

She also posted this sentence today because of her own bad taste, and also to find "the same kind" as that person.

It would be great if a fellow villager really found me because of this sentence!

…………

In the afternoon, the young masters who had booked banquets all called their friends to the Shuxiang Restaurant.

After three rounds of dishes and five kinds of wine, everyone finally got to enjoy Lu You’s five-spice sesame cake.

The taste of the sesame cake conquered everyone's taste buds as expected and won high praise from everyone.

Coincidentally, Lu Yi also "picked up" a piece of white paper with two lines of big words written on it!

The painted boats in Jianghuai are as pretty as jade, and the restaurant with scholarly atmosphere serves golden pastries.

If I could only have one chance to go back, I would have no regrets in my life!

No one knows where the Jianghuai mentioned in this poem refers to, but any educated person, seeing the painted boat and the beautiful woman, would understand that it must be referring to an extremely beautiful woman.

The person who wrote this poem actually compared Yan Ruyu and golden pastry, which is enough to show the author's love for golden pastry.

Lu Yi followed the way of a gentleman, and when he "picked up" such a poem, he naturally had to find its source so that he could return it.

So, under Lu Yi's sincere inquiry, this unclaimed crude doggerel poem spread...

The author of this crude poem, Lu You, was sitting on the small bed, staring blankly at the fourth position that appeared on the system mall.

"A substitute doll?"

"What the hell is this?"
