Chu Yue said, "Hotpot base is 50 cents a piece."
A piece of hot pot base is about the size of Chu Yue's palm. Such a small thing is sold for fifty cents, which sounds quite expensive.
But Chu Yue continued.
"Aunties, the hot pot base can be cut into pieces. Half a piece is enough for a family of three to eat for one meal, and one piece is enough for two meals. If you use it in stir-frying, just a little bit will make it taste good. You can put as much as you want."
With this calculation, even if the whole family eats hotpot, a meal will only cost 25 cents.
If it is used for cooking, you may only spend a few cents on seasoning.
When you think about it this way, the hot pot base at fifty cents a piece is not a bad deal at all.
purchase!
Buy it now!
What are you hesitating about? You must buy it!
In order to prevent them from bargaining, Chu Yue said in advance, "My store has clear prices. I don't offer discounts or promotions, and of course I won't force you to buy or sell. Aunties, think carefully before you spend money."
"What are you thinking about? Buy it! I want two pieces, Boss Chu, pack them up quickly. I'm in a hurry to go home and cook. It's a good meal today. If my man likes it, I'll come back to buy it later."
"I want one too! I want one too! I'll buy one first and try it when I get home."
"Then I'll take one too, which is only fifty cents. The money I saved from going to the next door today is more than fifty cents."
Just like that, the middle-aged women who had originally surrounded Chu Yue began to pay for things.
Chu Yue reminded, "Aunties, there are quite a lot of people here now, please line up. There is enough hot pot base, I guarantee you can buy it all. Can we line up first?"
The middle-aged women were all reasonable people and lined up spontaneously.
While Chu Yue was talking, Ye Zhaodi was not idle. As there were many people around, she handed out hot pot samples one by one and explained to everyone that the aroma came from the delicacy called "hot pot".
Because there were too many people, the task of cooking the meat and vegetables in the hot pot had to be given to Lu Yuanbao.
No matter how capable Lu Yuanbao was, he was just a child. Fang Xiuli, who was sitting awkwardly on the side, couldn't bear to watch it and simply stood up to help.
"Yuanbao, let me do it."
Fang Xiuli took the small bowl and chopsticks from Lu Yuanbao, and the dignified young lady from Beijing became a hot pot girl, helping Chu Yue without complaint.
There was no customer in front of the store, but suddenly there was a long queue.
Customers came out of the "Red Star Grocery Store" opposite one after another.
As soon as they came out, they saw long queues at the shop opposite and the fragrance in the air. Even if only half of the people walked over out of curiosity, the flow of people was still considerable.
As soon as people came over, Ye Zhaodi would greet them, introduce the food, and give them samples.
Everyone who has tasted it will say it’s delicious!
At this moment, the mentality of the customers is also very important. They think that there is nothing wrong with using the money saved from getting a bargain in the store next door to buy something new to try.
Just give it a try!
As a result, the front of Chu Yue's shop was surrounded by people. It looked like a huge crowd, and there were actually as many people as those on the opposite side.
Chu Yue, Ye Zhaodi, Lu Yuanbao, and Fang Xiuli, who was forced to work because of a free lunch, were very busy.
The business is better than when the store is normally open.
After a while, the sisters-in-law in the compound came out from the opposite side after buying things. Originally, everyone exchanged what they bought and what they bought, and everyone saved money together.
Then I looked up.
Someone exclaimed, "Oh my god, why are there so many people around Sister Chu's store? There was no one there just now? Why is the business so popular all of a sudden?"
Everyone looked up and saw a crowded scene.
The sisters-in-law in the compound were amazed at what they saw.
When Chen Fengying looked up and saw this, she was first surprised, and then excited.
She slapped her thigh and said, "I was wondering why Sister Chu was so calm. She wasn't panicking at all even though all her business was snatched away. It turns out she had already thought of a plan. I was wondering, Sister Chu is so smart, how could she be bullied by Comrade He! I have to go over and see what good stuff Sister Chu has sold this time?"
As soon as Chen Fengying left, the remaining sisters-in-law looked at each other.
They were holding the bags they had bought from He Meijiao, and were looking at the bustling business in Chu Yue's shop.
Someone said, "Shall we go over and take a look?"
Someone else said, "We just supported Comrade He's store, so we should also support Miss Chu's store. We can't favor one over the other, don't you think?"
Finally someone said, "Why are you still hesitating? Hurry up and go. Look at the line, it's getting longer and longer. If you go too late, you won't be able to buy anything good!"
Although they didn't know what Chu Yue was selling, everyone rushed over with great interest.
…
Red Star Grocery Store.
He Meijiao was sitting in a spacious office, listening to the noisy sounds outside with great pleasure, feeling proud of her victory over Chu Yue.
"Chu Yue, I told you to pretend... Haha, I wonder how long you can pretend. You can just wait until you lose everything you put in."
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
He Meijiao said, "Come in."
The person who opened the door was the mall manager. Manager Li had received an order from He Meijiao, asking him to keep a constant eye on the grocery store opposite and to take down that store at all times!
Their Red Star Grocery Store must be the only grocery store on this street.
Manager Li was originally full of confidence and thought that He Meijiao was making a fuss out of nothing. How could such a small shop be worthy of the boss's attention?
But……
"Ms. He, something bad has happened. I don't know what's being sold across the street, but the customers who bought things from our store are lining up at the store across the street after they left." Manager Li reported in a panic.
He Meijiao couldn't believe her ears at first.
She stood up suddenly. "Impossible! I just checked and no one went into Chu Yue's store. They are going to close down soon. The things in our store are much cheaper than hers. How could we still buy things from her store?"
Manager Li wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Ms. He, it's true... It's absolutely true. You can see it if you open the window and take a look."
He Meijiao turned around and pulled open the curtains.
There is a road outside, and across the road is Chu Yue's shop.
She saw the bustling scene with crowds of people, which constantly stimulated her eyes.
"Impossible...Impossible...Impossible...Why are there still so many people going to Chu Yue's store? Are these people fools? Chu Yue must be selling things at a discount? Is she selling things at a discount too! With Lu Zhanlin's money, how can she beat me? As long as Chu Yue dares to sell things at a discount, she will only lose more! Haha, she will only lose more!"
He Meijiao was so determined that she still thought she had a sure win.
