Upon waking up, Lin Xiangyi realized she had transmigrated into a period novel written by her stepsister. Her stepsister was the protagonist, and she was the villainous female supporting character....
"Yes, yes, Xiangyi braised food was the first braised food I tried. I became addicted to it. Later, I tried many other braised food from other stores. Some of them were more expensive than Xiangyi's, while others were cheaper, but none of them were as delicious as Xiangyi's! Isn't that right? I'm here to buy Xiangyi's braised food again!"
"Me too!"
"You are not the only ones who are like this! Xiangyi Braised Food is the first braised food store in our county. It has been very popular since its opening. Many braised food stores have followed suit, but so far, not many can sell as well as Xiangyi Braised Food!"
…
The guests praised the delicious braised food.
The salesperson in the store saw these two polar reversals and raised his head with pride.
Yes, their stewed food is the best!
Lin Xiangyi even announced with a smile: "Thank you for your love for our fragrant stewed food. Your satisfaction is our greatest motivation. We will repay your love with quality and service!
How about this, to thank you all, today we have 20% off all the items in our store! Today only! "
"Really? 20% off? Then give me two pounds of this pig head meat!"
"Girl, have you not paid for the five taels of braised pork I just ordered? Can you give me a 20% discount?"
"Ah? I only brought one dollar with me! If I had known there was a discount, I would have brought more money and bought more!"
…The sales clerks in the store became busy again.
Seeing this, the trouble-making old lady made up her mind and pointed at several types of marinated food on the shelf and said, "I, I want these for a dollar in total!"
Her little grandson loves to eat braised food the most, and he only eats Xiangyi braised food. He won’t be happy with food from other places, so even if the food from other places is cheaper, he will still come to Xiangyi braised food to buy it!
It's just that her family is poor, which is why she made a fuss just now. She thought that if Lin Xiangyi and the others could be cheaper, she wouldn't have to feel so heartbroken every time she spent money!
"Okay, grandma, let me weigh it for you!" Lin Xiangyi said with a smile. He personally served the old lady and weighed out some of the braised dishes she had specified.
The old lady had sharp eyes and noticed that Lin Xiangyi had removed the decimal points from every item she weighed. When the several marinated dishes were added together, she had gotten quite a bargain.
She was suddenly happy and guilty. She had just put such a big accusation on them, but the female boss actually forgave them and generously gave her so many braised foods!
She couldn't help but look up to Lin Xiangyi a little more - some guests who noticed this scene also trusted Xiangyi Luwei even more.
In order to repay Lin Xiangyi, the old lady informed Lin Xiangyi: "... Three people came to your door. The stewed food they bought was similar to some of your varieties. It smelled very similar and was half the price of yours. I tasted it and it was delicious... but definitely not as delicious as yours! And they are extremely bad people. The reason I came here to cough and make trouble just now was because of them."
The old lady was extremely angry when she said this. She just realized that she was being used as a gun.
When Lin Xiangyi heard this, she guessed that the people outside the door were probably Lin Huihui's group. She sneered. Lin Huihui was really a rat in the gutter, doing only evil things!
She thanked the old lady, gave her one or two vegetarian dishes, and sent her away.
Then she looked around her store. Because of the 20% discount she had just offered, the customers were very active and bought more than usual.
But the number of guests was at least half less than usual!
Lin Xiangyi walked to the gate and saw a lot of people gathered on the opposite street, talking to the person in the middle about what braised food they wanted.
There were so many people that Lin Xiangyi couldn't see the scene inside, but she could clearly see a large red paper hanging on the wall behind them. At the top of the red paper was written the title "Hui Hui Braised Food" in four large characters, and below the title were the prices of the braised foods. The price of each item was half the price of Xiangyi Braised Food.
Amid the crowd, Lin Huihui, Lu's mother and He's wife were busy, and they were all smiling so hard that their mouths were almost reaching their ears!
The customers who originally came for the delicious braised food were attracted by the noise over there.
"They are robbing us openly! This is too much, Sister Xiangyi. They have taken away all our business!" He Honghong appeared beside Lin Xiangyi at some point. She stamped her feet in anger at the noise on the other side, rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'm going to chase them away!"
"Honghong!" Lin Xiangyi held He Honghong and said with a sullen face, "This street is not ours, there is no reason for us to drive them away."
"So let them take away our business?"
"Let me think about it," Lin Xiangyi looked coldly at Lin Huihui and others opposite her. She had not forgotten all the new and old grudges. Now Lin Huihui actually offered herself to die. She had to think about it, she had to think carefully about how to deal with this situation...how to take revenge on Lin Huihui!
He Honghong wanted to say something, but when she turned around and saw the dark and cold light flashing in Lin Xiangyi's eyes, she was startled.
Sister Xiangyi, why do you have such a fierce look?
She rolled her eyes and walked away.
When she came back, she was holding a package of something wrapped in oil paper. She said to Lin Xiangyi mysteriously, "Sister Xiangyi, guess what I'm holding?"
"What is it?" Lin Xiangyi put down the account book in his hand and asked.
"It's the Laozi Huihui Braised Food that's stealing our business!" He Honghong said cunningly, "We must know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can win every battle!"
Lin Xiangyi was stunned and looked at He Honghong in surprise. She didn't come to the store often and didn't have much contact with He Honghong. She thought she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. Now it seems... He Honghong is also a talent!
"You're right. Let's try it together," Lin Xiangyi smiled as she took the braised food from He Honghong's hand, unwrapped it, and tasted it together with He Honghong.
"It's so disgusting!" He Honghong said with a look of disgust as soon as she took a bite.
Lin Xiangyi glanced at her and found it even more amusing. "We are now the judges. We can't put ourselves in the shoes of our opponents. We need to be objective!"
He Honghong stuck out her tongue playfully: "It's definitely not as delicious as ours!"
"But it's not bad, right?" Lin Xiangyi added. She was even amazed at the first bite. She didn't expect that Lin Huihui and the others could make such delicious food.
"Indeed..." He Honghong responded with a wry smile, her expression becoming gloomy.
Although Laozi Huihui's braised food is not as delicious as theirs, to be honest, Huihui's braised food is really not bad.
If the prices are the same, Huihui’s braised food can’t beat them.
But the price of Huihui’s braised food is half of theirs… half the price, mainly because unless you are rich, everyone will choose Huihui’s braised food which is not as delicious but not bad either, right?
After all, no one’s money comes from the wind!
If this continues, at least half of their customers will be taken away by Huihui’s braised food!
He Honghong felt chilled just thinking about it!
