Chapter 231 Look!
"I already said I'm not selling, can't you understand human language?" Wang Hao gave Xiao Zhenwei a look of contempt.
"You've tried cooking it dozens of times and still can't get the heat right. Even a pig wouldn't be as stupid as you!"
Xiao Zhenwei had important things to do and was too lazy to argue with Wang Hao. Seeing that Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu still had expressions of refusal to sell, he had no choice but to find another excuse for the time being.
"If you won't sell it, I can just take a look."
"Even if you watch it, you still won't be able to do it. You might as well practice roasting chestnuts a few more times." Xiao Dazhuang found Xiao Zhenwei annoying.
“My sister-in-law said that people without talent can achieve their goals through hard work. You’re not without hands, so just go back and practice more. If practicing ten times doesn’t work, practice a hundred times. If a hundred times doesn’t work, practice a thousand times. I don’t believe you’re stupid enough to practice a thousand times and still not get it right.”
Luo Shiliu looked at Xiao Zhenwei's flushed face and shook his head with a "tsk tsk" sound: "It's really possible that he might not."
Xiao Zhenwei felt a surge of anger and decided to throw caution to the wind: "I'm not leaving until I see the electric chestnut roasting machine today! I paid eight thousand yuan in tuition, and you're kicking me out before I've even learned how to roast chestnuts? That's outrageous! This class of yours is a complete fraud!"
"Say that again, you son of a bitch!" Wang Hao wanted to hit him.
Xiao Dazhuang decisively grabbed his arm, furious at Xiao Zhenwei's shamelessness: "How can you be so shameless?"
"You learned how to make roasted chestnuts, and you even wrote down the key points and steps in a notebook. You also watched your older brother and sister-in-law roast chestnuts, watched us roast chestnuts, and roasted chestnuts yourself dozens of times. Yet you say it's fraud when you can't make them as delicious as others. How can you be so shameless and brazen?"
Xiao Zhenwei retorted, his neck stiff with arrogance: "Taking tuition but not teaching how to roast chestnuts is fraud!"
Xiao Cheng glanced at him coldly and said slowly, "I am a fraudster, so what can you do about it?"
Xiao Zhenwei: "..."
If you can't beat them, and you can't out-argue them, what else can you do?
Bai Lu finally understood where Xiao Cheng's reputation as a "bully" came from. To deal with a rogue, you either have to be more rogue than the rogue, or more vicious than the rogue, so vicious that the rogue doesn't dare to act recklessly or utter a sound. How domineering is that?
Learn if you can, otherwise get out.
The bully boss never tolerates anyone.
But since they paid eight thousand yuan in tuition, it's not unreasonable for them to want to see an electric chestnut roasting machine.
Bai Lu decided to play the good guy: "Didn't you want to see the electric stir-fry machine? Come with me."
Xiao Zhenwei followed along, overjoyed.
Once you've seen the electric stir-fry machine and carefully noted the structure of each part, you'll definitely be able to figure it out when you get back.
By then, they'll be making a fortune just selling electric chestnut roasting machines, and who will care about those cheap sugar-roasted chestnuts?
He doesn't care!
Wang Hao and the others could roughly guess Xiao Zhenwei's intentions. They didn't understand Bai Lu's decision to reveal Xiao Cheng's secret technique. Just as they were about to speak, Xiao Cheng stopped them with a look.
The three followed Bai Lu to the backyard, puzzled, and finally understood her good intentions.
He then burst into uncontrollable laughter, exclaiming, "Look! Look!"
"If you can't see clearly, get closer. You have to see all the parts clearly and figure out how to make the electric stir-fry machine. Otherwise, you'll have wasted your 8,000 yuan tuition fee."
"Absolutely! We have to see it all to make our money back!"
Xiao Zhenwei was overjoyed, but ended up seeing nothing.
Luo Shiliu and Wang Hao bluntly exposed Xiao Zhenwei's lies, further enraging him.
Under the eaves, there was nothing but an empty iron pot; there was no electric chestnut roasting machine.
There were signs of disassembly inside the large iron pot, indicating that something had been placed inside before, either the motor of an electric stir-fry machine or the drive unit for stir-frying chestnuts.
The current large iron pot is just an empty shell; everything has been dismantled, so looking at it is as if you haven't seen anything at all.
Bai Lu said in a serious tone, "This is our electric chestnut roaster. The power cord was chewed off by a rat last night, but it's okay. You can just reinstall it when you get back. This electric chestnut roaster is really convenient. Just put the chestnuts in the pot, plug it in, and use the spatula to stir them. How much are you willing to pay to buy it?"
Xiao Zhenwei was so angry that he turned around and left.
"Sister-in-law is brilliant!" Wang Haoluo and the others shouted, startling Xiao Zhenwei so much that he stumbled.
Xiao Cheng stared at the large iron pot under the eaves, his face grim: "When was it dismantled?"
Bai Lu received a lot of "concerned" looks from the big boss, and explained with a mix of amusement and helplessness: "Don't worry, it's not one of the three you made. This one is something Xiao Wei secretly learned to make because he admires your abilities. It doesn't have any important parts, and he doesn't know how to weld. He's just making it to gain experience."
Xiao Wei's training experience involved disassembling and reassembling repeatedly, until Bai Lu accidentally caught a glimpse of it.
Finally, he generously donated money to dismantle everything that should and shouldn't have been dismantled, thus relieving Bailu's urgent need.
When Luo Shiliu and the others saw that Xiao Cheng didn't react much when Bai Lu mentioned Xiao Wei, they immediately chimed in, praising Xiao Wei for being smart and able to learn his elder brother's skills.
As expected yet unexpected, Xiao Cheng did not give them a cold shoulder or a gloomy, cold expression.
Instead, he didn't even glance at them, and calmly walked back to the main house with Bai Lu.
The three brothers were used to the fact that once their sister-in-law was around, their eldest brother treated them like they were invisible.
Clutching her shattered heart, she silently followed.
Five people gathered in the main house to discuss the upcoming comprehensive teaching plan for roasted chestnuts.
The teaching scope for roasted chestnuts will be tentatively set at one hundred locations, expanding from Xinzhen outwards to Pingcheng, encompassing all surrounding towns and cities, except for the existing sales points such as Meng Youliang's, leaving no other town or city out.
Once the nearby teaching sites achieve good results and the reputation of roasted chestnuts spreads far and wide, then we will expand to even more distant towns.
We aim to cover the entire southern part of the city.
The last incident was nothing more than a minor disturbance for the four major powers in Nanshi. The warnings issued by the higher-ups also had a time limit, ranging from one month to three months.
After a period of calm, trouble will arise again.
If roasted chestnuts want to break through the competition, they must quickly capture the market and cover the entire southern part of the city during this period.
Once the four major powers lift the ban, the matter will be settled. Roasted chestnuts will have a complete market presence, and no single company will dominate or monopolize the market, let alone eradicate it.
Li Chengbin can no longer suppress or blockade the situation unless he wants to provoke public anger and cause his father-in-law, who has just been released from his ban, to lose his official position and be attacked by multiple forces.
After all, all four major powers have roasted chestnuts in their territories. If they want to monopolize and blockade, then they'll have to fight each other.
Without tearing it apart, the roasted chestnuts each occupied a corner of the four major powers' territories, successfully entering a period of stability.
There's no need to worry about sales channels or volume anymore.
With the market testing done some time ago, and the living advertisements of people like Yu Fugui and Meng Youliang, there's no fear that no one will learn to make roasted chestnuts; it's just that the number of people is hard to determine.
“Isn’t it a bit too many to teach three people at one location?” Wang Hao remembered that Bai Lu had said that roasted chestnuts should not be over-produced, otherwise they would become a rotten commodity.
If something becomes too common, no one will learn it.
