Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 85: Coming to the door

Xu Shaoyan was a little anxious during this time. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’ reading М

The family wanted to open up a new business avenue, but had nothing to stand out from the crowd. The Xu family is considered a big family in Pingchuan County, but the Xu family is not the only big family in Guangning Prefecture. If you put it in Shangjing, you won’t even be ranked.

The clan used the newly discovered iron ore to open a hole in the army and win some food and grass business for the family. The clan immediately opened many grain shops in various counties and prefectures.

But he was the only one in the army who was supplied by the grain and grass trade. The Xu family's share is small, and others may not remember that there is a Xu family. How can we stand out and win a bigger share?

In the past, in order to collect funds, the clan wanted to close bakery shops in various places. Unexpectedly, a young lady named Su Qingyu sold him two techniques for two hundred taels, and Jixiang Pastry Shop became the first in Quang Ninh Prefecture.

The reputation of this first family is not something that can be won easily, and the family is reluctant to close them down.

Xu Shaoyan was deeply impressed by everyone who had worked with him, especially those who had taken money from him.

He has always paid attention to the Su family's wife.

Watching her open a vegetable shop, I thought at first that she was putting her pastry skills aside from the pastry business and wanted to open a vegetable shop. I couldn't understand why she gave up a lot of money for a small one. The price difference between one penny and two pennies per pound, how much do you need to sell to earn back the rent of the shop?

Xu Shaoyan didn't pay attention at first, thinking that Su's was just collecting the vegetables and selling them together. They didn't put them on the ground like in a vegetable market. At most, they were placed on the shelves, which was cleaner.

Later, he slowly figured out that Su wanted to be in the mid-to-high-level and fine-market markets.

The meat is unpacked and sold, the vegetables are washed, cut and prepared, and the skins are peeled off. The chickens and ducks bought by the customers elsewhere are also de-feathered for only two and a half cents. Everyone is coming to the store, why don’t you buy some fruits and vegetables?

And she also delivers to the door of special customers who are inconvenient to go out. Later, semi-finished products such as dumpling skins were produced, and the service was achieved to the extreme.

Others want to share her market and set prices, but their profits are less. If the service wants to keep up, labor costs will have to increase. As various costs increase, it becomes unprofitable to open a store. Can it continue to operate? If you continue to operate, the price of the dishes will go up, and if you raise the price, there will be fewer customers. If you don't raise the price, if you reduce some costs here and some there, the dishes will not necessarily be fresh.

The newly opened shop divided her business and sold less meat. She didn't want to start a price war, so she immediately changed her mind and started a whole chicken and duck business. He also changes his method every day, making other shops unable to imitate him.

No one else had figured out the crispy baby chicken, but she was serving soy sauce chicken again. Others had just imitated the soy sauce chicken, but she stopped selling it and sold beggar's chicken instead. After several days of eating, the guests were still not tired of it, so she changed to new varieties, which whetted people's appetites. Can your appetite not attract people? Can you go back empty-handed after you come in?

This woman, really. A lot to think about!

So Xu Shaoyan gradually stopped his contempt for Su Qingyu.

He secretly settled the accounts for her.

If you do this well, making one or two hundred taels a month is not a problem. Plus the various chicken and duck meats she later sold, she might even earn more. Although four vegetable shops seemed to open in the town later, none of them looked good.

What is imitated is only the form, not the spirit. Su's various methods cannot be imitated by other families, and what they learn is just the four dissimilarities. As time goes by, others will still become loyal customers of Su's shop. The current impact is nothing more than a short-term temporary shock to her.

He felt that she should have other ways to make money. The vegetable shop may be just an introduction, just to bring her customers.

He gradually understood why Mr. Su gave up big money for small money.

To do other businesses, the capital must be large, the backend must be strong, the connections must be wide, and the shop assistant must be loyal. If there is a problem in any part, it is easy to get stuck without making money.

Just say that if she wanted to open a pastry shop, finding a pastry chef might be a problem. A skilled craftsman from a small family may not necessarily be willing to sell his job. Even if you sign, you may not be loyal.

If you don't sign the contract and are not loyal, can you use it with confidence? Dare you teach him your skills?

Moreover, any business that requires capital and connections must be supported by a powerful family. A small business can easily be coveted and run on, and the business will not be able to continue if there is a run on it.

Examples of big shops eating out small shops and small shops being squeezed out happen every day. His Xu family is also one of the best in Pingchuan County, and isn't it also being squeezed out?

You may not be able to keep the money you earn in the end. His life may be lost.

He'd seen too much over the years. Sometimes he felt a little discouraged.

The more he looked at Su, the more he thought she was a smart person.

The vegetable shop was inconspicuous, and wealthy people looked down on her business, so they wouldn't compete with her. Without being coveted and run on by big players, she can continue to do business and make some small money silently. Not that much trouble yet.

Even if something unexpected happens, if you stop in time, you won't suffer much loss.

Xu Shaoyan admired this little lady more and more. Looking at her endless tricks, I wonder if she can give him some advice.

Xu Shaoyan was sitting in the backyard of Jixiang Pu, listening to the sounds of people coming and going in the front shop, with a happy expression. Thinking of Miss Su who brought such a big change to the store, I wonder if she has any other ideas to sell to him.

Otherwise, come to the house and ask?

No, no, no, it's a bit embarrassing for him, a young man from a wealthy family, to come to ask a young lady for money-making ideas.

Xu Shaoyan sat in the chair, holding tea steadily in his hand, hiding the turmoil in his heart.

"Shopkeeper, I am the owner of Huimin Vegetable Shop. I want to find your young owner. I wonder if you can give me a message?"

Hey, this sound?

Xu Shaoyan sat up straight and raised his ears to argue.

The person who came was none other than Su Qingyu.

She looked at the daily flow in her account book and gradually became unable to support her outgoing expenses. She was about to make ends meet, and she panicked a little.

She hasn't settled the bill with Dahu for a while. He uses his own money to collect the goods every day and sells them to Su Qingnao when he comes back, but he doesn't let Su Qingnao settle the accounts for him. They probably know that the store is tight on funds.

Su Qingyu didn't want to owe money to anyone, so she tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep.

Although she wanted to cover it up for a while longer. Wait until the weather gets cooler before taking the dried vegetables out. But she couldn't face Su Dahu and didn't want to owe more.

Su Qingyu thought of Xu Shaodong's house in Jixiangpu. That man is discerning and happy to give money. I wonder if he is willing to start a business of dried vegetables and fruits.

"Su Dongjia, I know you."

The original fat shopkeeper of Jixiang Shop has been transferred to Pingchuan County to reunite with her husband and son's family. He has been replaced by a thin and shrewd shopkeeper. Su Qingnao has not had much dealings with him.

The two were about to exchange a few words, but Xu Shaoyan had already confirmed it and immediately raised his voice: "If the Su Dong family doesn't mind, you can go to the backyard to talk."
