Ugly man is hard to marry

Chapter 55 Sudden Changes

The weather in July is hot, and the sky is sunny these days. The sky really seems to be on fire. The steaming heat floats in the air, and it seems that a wave of heat can be breathed out.

Fang Yunxuan came to the Shijin Building early in the morning, first explained a few words to the staff, and then asked the shopkeeper how the water flow has been in the past few days.

The newly hired shopkeeper is in his 40s, with a turmeric complexion and a three-strand beard. No matter how difficult the situation is, he speaks slowly.

He opened his mouth slowly, but a sad expression appeared on his face. He sighed and said sadly, "Not good. Ever since Juxianju across the street started selling snowflake cheese, our business here has dropped by more than half."

The little guy at the side interjected: "It's fine if we just sell snowflake cheese, fair competition, we may not lose. The hateful thing is that Juxianju took the opportunity to lower the price of vegetables, and now they only sell vegetables that are usually priced at [-] yuan, bah How shameless, in order to squeeze us down, you actually accompany Ben'er to make money, so let him die!"

The rest of the staff also began to scold, saying that the boss of Juxianju is too good-for-nothing, how can there be such a business, it is clear that the price is deliberately lowered, and they want to squeeze their Shijinlou down.

Since the beginning of July, the prices of various dishes in Juxianju have been greatly reduced, and some dishes have even dropped to one-third of the original price. Recently, the snowflake cheese that is exactly the same as Shijinlou has been launched.

When guests have the same dishes, they will naturally choose the cheap one first.In just a few days, the number of guests at Shijinlou has decreased by half compared to before, and today it is even more serious. It is almost dinner time, but no guests have come to the door yet.

"We can't control other people's price cuts, but what's the matter with the snowflake cheese? It was originally created by our Shijinlou, how did Juxianju learn it? And that grinder... I see, in our Shijinlou The ghost must be out!"

The guys quarreled wildly, business was not good, everyone was anxious, and they couldn't come up with a good idea after discussing it. The anger was all up, and we couldn't help accusing: "Xiaomi, we are all old people in Shijinlou. You are the only one who came here in June this year, you said, did you tell Chen Xing, the owner of Juxianju, the way to make snowflake cheese?"

Xiaomi burst into tears at that time, jumped up and swears: "If I said so, I would be hit by a carriage to death! Drinking water and choking to death! I, am I that kind of person... Woo... Don't say goodbye Yes, my mother was sick two days ago, and the doctor Fang shopkeeper hired for my mother. I am a clerk who just entered the store, and Fang shopkeeper was willing to pay me two taels of silver as my salary, saying it was for my mother's health. Such a shopkeeper, where can I find a second one, I'm stupid, I'm helping Juxianju cheat myself by eating inside and outside?"

Everyone was in a moment of impatience, so they couldn't hold back their words. Seeing him crying uncomfortably, they all blamed themselves with drooping heads.

Fang Yunxuan patted Xiaomi on the shoulder to tell him not to cry, and said to the rest of the staff: "All the staff in Shijinlou are reliable, so don't say anything like that. Shijinlou hasn't collapsed yet, so we just let ourselves go." How can we break through the difficulties in the future?"

The guys all lowered their heads, Fang Yunxuan had always treated them generously, and five or six of them got along like a family, so it stands to reason that none of them would betray Shijinlou.But the facts are right in front of our eyes, so people can’t help being suspicious. If nothing else, just talk about the grinder for making snowflake cheese. It was made by Fang Yunxuan himself. From the drawing to the final shape, only Fang Yunxuan and Shijinlou’s buddies are responsible for every step I know, if no one leaked the secret, how could Juxianju make the exact same grinder?How can this not make people suspicious.

Fang Yunxuan has also thought about this, snowflake cheese is not difficult to make, as long as you buy a bowl, an experienced cook will make it with a glance.The difficulty of this thing lies in the crushed ice. In this era, no one dares to break the ice cubes and eat them directly. Fang Yunxuan is also considered to be the first of its kind. Coupled with the homemade grinder, it should be a patent that outsiders will never learn. .Unexpectedly, after only one month, Juxianju was asked to learn it, and the price was lowered, so that the business of Shijinlou plummeted.

These guys were all personally selected by Fang Yunxuan, and after getting along for many days, Yunxuan was trustworthy in character.As for who to suspect, Fang Yunxuan really had no idea for a while.

Puzzled, Fang Yunxuan thought it best not to pursue this matter yet.Don't mess up now, if they mess up, Chen Xing will be the happiest, he may wish to get into a mess in Shijin Building, jealous of each other, and quarrel with each other.

Naturally, Fang Yunxuan would not be caught in the trap. He thought hard about countermeasures and how to tide over the difficulties.

Juxianju's move was clearly aimed at grabbing Jinlou's business and trying to squeeze himself away.Now if he wants to get out of trouble and win back the guests, he has to follow Juxianju to lower the price. He lowered the price by one hundred yuan, and Shijinlou will reduce it by one hundred and five yuan.

Fang Yunxuan thought about it for a long time, and felt that this method was purely looking for death. Let's talk about the cost first.Juxianju is a century-old store with strong strength. They can hold on and afford it, but Shijinlou is different. No matter how prosperous it is, it is just a new store that has not opened for a year. It really depends on reducing prices to attract customers. Customers, if they can't delay for a month, there will be big problems with working capital.

What's more, once the price is reduced, in order not to lose money, the quality of the dishes will naturally decline accordingly.Otherwise, you can only wait to lose money until you can't do it anymore.

No matter how you think about it, it's not cost-effective, it always seems to be tricked by others.

This is how to do.

Fang Yunxuan thought hard, was so worried that he didn't think about eating and drinking, and finally decided that lowering the price could not be done. He despised this kind of unfair competition in his previous life, and in this life, he couldn't make an exception.

If the guests leave, they can think of other ways to bring them back. It is extremely vile to attract customers by lowering prices maliciously. Fang Yunxuan doesn't bother to be such a shameless villain.

If you can't fight the price, you can only fight for quality and quantity.

Fang Yunxuan took out the old method when he first opened, increasing the size of each dish, introducing new ones, and launching a special dish every day. The price of this special dish is half price on the day, and it will be changed to the original price after [-] days.In addition, every table guest will receive a delicate dessert.

In this way, although it is not possible to win back all the customers, at least it can attract the curiosity of a large number of old customers and make them come back to Shijinlou again.

Fang Yunxuan is very confident in his cooking skills. He may not be able to compare with Chen Xing if he plays tricks, but when it comes to cooking skills, he is absolutely confident that he can beat that idiot.

On the second day after making up his mind, Fang Yunxuan introduced the first new dish: Liuye Cuipi Dumplings.

This dish can be used as both a dish and a soup.First use the broth to boil all kinds of seasonal vegetables into a delicious fresh soup.Then add cucumber juice into the flour, knead it into a dough, squeeze it into small squeezes, and roll it into dumpling skins.This dumpling wrapper has a fragrance of cucumber, because it is eaten in summer, so it cannot be made too greasy, and the filling is not pure meat, but shrimp meat and green cabbage heart are used, and there are not many seasonings, salt , sugar, raw powder, and a little ginger powder to remove the fishy smell.

The dumplings can't be wrapped too big, like willow leaves, they are small.Boil the Cuipi dumplings in the fresh soup, put them in a white porcelain basin, and after serving them on the table, the small Cuipi dumplings float in the refreshing clear soup, and the white porcelain basin looks clean and clear, although It's a hot dish, but it also whets the appetite.

The weather is hot, and people's appetites are mostly bad in this season, and they can't eat anything, and no one cares about greasy dishes.

Liuye Cuipin Dumplings were originally just an ordinary dumpling, only the cucumber juice in the dough is considered special.Fang Yunxuan was bold and innovative again, adding a bowl of fresh soup to this green dumpling as a foil.There are soups, vegetables and staple foods, even in the hot summer, people will not find it difficult to eat.Take a bite of the dumplings with the soup, and you will never stop eating.

The soup is delicious, the Cuipi dumplings are fresh and tender but not greasy, the skin is firm, and there is a faint fragrance of cucumber sliding between the teeth when you take a bite. After eating a bowl, you will sweat all over your body, and the heat will relieve the heat. It feels cooler than eating. There are many things to relieve the heat.

After the dish was launched, the response was not as good as Fang Yunxuan expected. After a few days of publicity at the alley with the guys, only a dozen or so guests came in to taste it. It was really incomparable with the crowded scene before.

The guys were a little disappointed, they had prepared for a few days, but the results were pitiful. The Juxianju facing the street was brightly lit, and it was very lively to welcome and send. Chen Xing wore a crimson crepe robe and stood at the street corner shaking Holding a paper fan, he flaunted his might to Fang Yunxuan and the others.

Xiaomi cursed with hatred: "Shameless villain! He is so proud of losing money every day, what is there to be proud of. Let's see how long he can last!"

Everyone also chimed in, but the business was not good, and they had no strength to scold. After shouting a few times, they died down, and went back to the Shijin Building listlessly.

Fang Yunxuan didn't believe in evil, so he launched another dish the next day. The name was rich and noble, and it was called the Golden Pagoda.

This dish is made of tofu. The best northern tofu is cut into thick triangles and steamed for a while to remove the beany smell.Then cut it from the middle, put the seasoned meat stuffing inside, and fry it until golden.There is also a lot of care when it comes to the plate. It needs to be piled up one by one to form a pagoda. When it is finally served on the table, it gets its name because the shape and color are very similar to a golden pagoda.

Although it is deep-fried, it is not greasy. The tofu well neutralizes the fatness of the meat filling and boiling oil. After eating, it is only crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and juicy, and tastes salty and delicious.

So back and forth, Fang Yunxuan was busy cooking, and at the same time, he and his staff went to the four cities to distribute menus and attract customers.

The process of turning defeat into victory was extremely long. It was not until September that the signs of victory gradually emerged. Shijinlou's business resumed as before, but Juxianju was already in a dilemma due to its long-term loss-making operations.

Think about it too, who can keep making money at a loss.

Although Chen Xing is not good at cooking, he is very good at doing business, he is good at calculating, and he is the best at avoiding disadvantages.He wanted to squeeze Fang Yunxuan away, so he reduced the prices of all the dishes in Juxianju, and the price was so low that some dishes could not even cover the cost.

As a result, although the Shijin Building was almost desperate due to the run-on, his Juxianju also lost a lot of money because of it.

At the beginning, Chen Xing felt happy and comfortable when he saw that there were few people in the Shijin Building. He lost money to watch the theater, just for fun.But later, Fang Yunxuan introduced a new dish every day to attract customers, and Chen Xing couldn't be happier.
