Chapter 41 Heaven Shall Strike You with Lightning

Feng Yongkang once said that only when the entrance is clean will customers think that the restaurant is clean and are willing to come. The God of Wealth does not visit dirty places. This is what he meant.

"Ah?" Li Fang was taken aback by the sudden call. His expression became even uglier. He was afraid that others might notice something, so he just waved his hands: "No, it's nothing. Maybe I didn't cover myself properly with the quilt last night and caught a cold. Now I have a severe stomachache..."

"Well, you keep an eye on me first. I'm in a lot of pain. Let me go to the drugstore at the corner of the street and ask for some medicine."

Seeing that Li Fang looked very unhappy, Ma Tong said hurriedly, "Go quickly. This is the most frightening thing in spring. Take some medicine to calm down, or you will get a serious illness. I will help you watch over it here, so go quickly."

"Thank you, brother." Li Fang looked at Ma Tong gratefully, gave him the rag, and then hurried away.

He walked all the way to the street corner, but when he arrived at the drugstore, he did not go in. Instead, he turned to the small street behind.

Ma Tong took a glance and sneered, sweeping with the broom in his hand.

What stomachache? It's obviously just a stomach full of bad thoughts.

People like this really deserve to be struck by lightning!

Ma Tong cursed in his heart, glanced at the tofu stall over there at Zhuang Qingning, and then sighed.

It's really your fault. It's just a few cents, but you had to make such a fuss. If you can't continue your tofu stall business, you won't be able to complain.

Zhuang Qingning was completely unaware of all this and just continued selling his own tofu with a smile on his face.

Business is good today. Looking at the situation, the more than 20 kilograms of tofu ground today will definitely sell well, and they were sold out before noon.

Seeing that there was only one piece of tofu left in the bamboo basket, weighing about three or four pounds, Chai Zhengzhen, who was in his thirties and tall and thin, ran over quickly and asked, "Are there any more tofu?"

After saying that, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Obviously he came in a hurry.

"There's only one piece left." Zhuang Qingning weighed the tofu skillfully. "Three pounds and two ounces. It's the last piece. I'll charge you two cents for it."

"You are really active in business, but these three pounds are really not enough..." Chai Zhengzhen frowned, but finally sighed helplessly: "Whatever, whatever, this is all."

"I want 20 kilograms of tofu tomorrow. Can I pay in advance and come get the tofu then?"

"I'm really sorry, but the tofu I sell at this tofu stall has always been purchased directly. Unless there are special circumstances, I usually don't make reservations in advance." Zhuang Qingning politely declined.

Although booking in advance can give her a rough idea of ​​how much to prepare for the next day, it also shows that her business is good enough. Zhuang Qingning had thought about whether to implement an appointment-based sales method for all sales, but Bai San's late arrival that day served as a reminder to her.

Everything has its pros and cons. This reservation can achieve the purpose of hype, making people think that the tofu is in short supply, but it is also very difficult to implement. If you take other people's money, you have to wait, no matter how good or bad your business is, no matter how many customers you turn away, or how many unpleasant words people say to you, you still have to wait.

Moreover, even if the appointment sales is not made after the agreed time, if you meet a reasonable person, he will know that he is in the wrong and will not say anything. But if you meet an unreasonable person, he will seize this point and cause you a lot of trouble.

After all, she is a helpless person who depends on her younger sister for everything. She has no support in this town. If anything happens, she will be easily bullied.

So Zhuang Qingning gave up this idea and would not easily agree to others' requests for tofu without reason.

"Is that so?" Chai Zhengzhen scratched his ear, a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Well, since I'm determined to buy tofu from you and need it before noon, I can just come earlier. It's not a big deal."

"It's just that the price..."

"To be honest, young lady, I work at the Ruyi Pavilion restaurant next door. I heard that your tofu tastes good, so I thought of trying some in the kitchen. Although our restaurant business is not as good as Fu Shun Lou, and we are not as famous as Fu Shun Lou for its braised tofu, the amount of tofu we need every day is limited, but if your tofu is good, it will be used for a long time, so you should consider it cheaper."

At least it has to be cheaper than what the retail investors buy on the market, otherwise, as a restaurant owner, it would be too shameful, right? "That's easy to say." Zhuang Qingning heard this, smiling: "Since you want a lot of tofu and you want it for a long time in the future, the price will naturally be cheaper than that of ordinary people."

"How about this, I'll give you this piece of tofu today for two cents, which is considered a small amount of money. Let's not worry about this small amount, and just say that Ruyi Pavilion will buy tofu from me from tomorrow."

"The price of tofu at my stall is one cent per pound, two cents for two and a half pounds, and twenty pounds, which should be sixteen cents. Since you are a restaurant that needs it often, I can give you a 10% discount. If you can keep this amount for a month, I can give you an 88% discount. If you can keep it for three months, I can give you a minimum 85% discount. How do you think?"

"Tofu doesn't have that much profit, so my price is lower than other tofu stalls. This price is very reasonable. And since you came to my tofu stall, you must know that the tofu I make tastes better than other places. You won't lose money if you buy this tofu at this price."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The tofu here tastes really good. Chai Zhengzhen also tasted it by chance and knew that the tofu here is not the ordinary flavor sold in ordinary places. If it can be used in the restaurant, the braised tofu he makes will probably be able to surpass the braised tofu made by Fushunlou.

With this in mind, Chai Zhengzhen came eagerly to buy tofu, and now he knows that the price is indeed fair.

It's just a business, so the less the capital, the better. Seeing that Zhuang Qingning gave in but also had conditions, he smiled and said, "Little girl, I'm running a restaurant, so I have to use tofu frequently. And since I've chosen to use tofu made by your family, I won't switch to another one in the future. Don't even mention three months, three to five years is no problem."

"What 10% off, 88% off? I think there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just go with 85% off, and it will be easier to settle the bill later. I'll usually talk to you more and bring you more buyers."

Zhuang Qingning smiled upon hearing this.

"If you can use my tofu for a long time, that would be great, but right now you can't sign a receipt for me, and you can't give me a deposit. I can't guarantee that I can use it for a long time in the future."

"And this time you came to buy tofu from my family. If you come across good tofu in the future, you will naturally use tofu from other families. This is also human nature. I won't be able to catch your fault by then, but I will give you the profit for nothing and let me suffer the loss for nothing."

Chai Zhengzhen smiled somewhat awkwardly.
