Upon seeing Chu Fang return home in the Tanhua residential area, Zhong Rou became excited:
"Oh, brother-in-law, you're back."
"Why do you look so pale? Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you."
Chu Fang replied calmly, "Your sister."
Zhong Rou: "Do I have a sister? I don't have a sister!"
Chu Fang lay on the sofa, his hands behind his head, pondering how to make wolf tooth potatoes that would attract out-of-town guests to try them.
"Brother-in-law," his sister-in-law said, massaging his legs, "Are you worried about selling the wolf tooth potatoes? Actually, you don't need to worry. As your favorite sister-in-law, I can help you come up with some ideas."
Chu Fang glanced at her sideways: "You want me to learn those moves of yours?"
They'll use any trick they can to cheat and swindle, hoping to scam as many people as possible.
"I have a better way."
Tell me about it.
This sister-in-law is incredibly shrewd; she's a natural-born businesswoman. She might have a solution.
Zhong Rou sat down and said slowly, "Why do people dislike wolf tooth potatoes? Because they contain houttuynia cordata. And why do people dislike houttuynia cordata? Because it has a fishy smell."
"So it's normal to feel uncomfortable after taking a bite. What we need to do is get those people to take a second, third, and fourth bite, get used to houttuynia cordata, and then like houttuynia cordata, and eventually like wolf tooth potatoes."
"Genius!" Chu Fang gave a thumbs up. "Those people can't eat after one bite. How am I supposed to get them to eat a second, a third, or even more bites?"
“That’s the key point.” Zhong Rou straightened her chest: “This involves business operation knowledge, which contains enormous wealth value. Do you want to know? Give me ten thousand, and I will impart my business knowledge to you.”
Chu Fang thought for a moment: "Five yuan."
Zhong Rou ignored him and fiddled with her phone.
If it weren't for the fact that Chu Fang was her brother-in-law, Zhong Rou would have definitely discussed it with him.
Is it possible to bargain down to 5?
Zhong Rou even had the urge to jump off a building; perhaps this is what is meant by a "fire sale price."
Chu Fang and his sister-in-law argued, and in the end, Chu Fang bought the knowledge of how to operate Wolf Tooth Potatoes for 1,000 yuan.
Once the money arrived in her account, Zhong Rou said in a serious tone, "It's actually very simple. You can organize an event where anyone who can finish a bowl of wolf tooth potatoes gets a certain amount of money, like twenty, thirty, or fifty."
"With the incentive of money, many people will definitely take on the challenge, and your wolf tooth potatoes will naturally sell."
Chu Fang rolled his eyes: "If so many people challenge me, won't I lose money hand over fist?"
He sells a serving of "wolf tooth potatoes" for 8 yuan, and the reward is higher than the cost of the "wolf tooth potatoes".
Zhong Rou countered, "Did you set up a stall to make money?"
Chu Fang pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That makes sense!"
He never intended to make money from setting up this stall, but now he's lost tens of thousands of yuan, so a loss is inevitable.
Moreover, he was quite accepting of losing money this way.
The customer who can finish a serving of wolf tooth potatoes and win the final reward is someone who can accept the taste of houttuynia cordata, thus spreading houttuynia cordata to Shanghai.
From this perspective, Chu still has pride.
He serves as an ambassador for the promotion of houttuynia cordata.
... ...
Without hesitation, Chu Fang set up his stall that very day and posted the promotional message on the front: "To thank our customers, we're having another amazing promotion! If any customer can finish a serving of wolf tooth potatoes, our shop will give them a 20 yuan reward."
Just as the poster was up, the bald man came over: "Dude, are you crazy? There's no need to set up a stall. Why don't you come and sell watermelons with me?"
"Brother, your watermelon business isn't doing too well either." Chu Fang glanced at the bald man. "The watermelons you sold a few days ago are still being sold today. Are those still edible?"
"You're a real scoundrel," the bald man said angrily as he left.
As soon as the stall opened, a customer came in. Zhong Rou and Wen Qing arrived, and the younger sister-in-law said, "Boss, give me three servings of wolf tooth potatoes."
Chu Fang: "Did you come here to fleece me?"
"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders, brother-in-law."
Chu Fang had no choice but to order three servings of wolf-tooth potatoes. Zhong Rou was from the Central Plains and didn't like the taste of houttuynia cordata. She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit after eating it, but under the lure of money, she forced herself to swallow it and ate all three servings of wolf-tooth potatoes.
He transferred 60 yuan to his sister-in-law, gave her a thumbs-up, and said, "You're awesome!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Rou ran to the side and vomited.
... ...
Although Zhong Rou was in a sorry state, it must be said that she was exceptionally intelligent.
As soon as the event was posted, many people came to inquire whether it was real, and seeing Chu Fang nod, many people began to try it.
It started with people from the southwest region who easily ate houttuynia cordata, and then many people from other places tried it.
To Chu Fang's surprise, spurred by the money, most customers still didn't finish the wolf tooth potatoes and had to pay the bill.
After going back and forth, Chu Fang realized that his gains were actually positive.
Chu Fang: "..."
He didn't know whether to be happy or frustrated.
"Your operational strategy is quite good." Chu Fang heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw 'You Chen', the short college classmate he had run into a few days ago.
You Chen bought wolf tooth potatoes from his stall several times, and Chu Fang got to know this classmate and also learned his name.
"Just playing around." Chu Fang smiled.
You Chen said, "Setting up a stall like this isn't a long-term solution, since the income isn't high. How about coming to work at my company? Although the salary won't be as much as you used to spend lavishly, it will still provide a stable income. For the sake of our classmate relationship, I won't treat you unfairly."
Chu Fang shook his head; "Thank you, no need, I'll just play around with my stall."
