"We broke our promise first. If these five coins can make the customer feel better, then it's definitely worth it," Ye Panjiu explained to her.
These five coins could potentially bring her several times the profit.
Good food, besides being delicious enough, naturally relies on word-of-mouth recommendations from loyal customers.
This is the advertisement with the highest conversion rate.
People came to the stall one after another, and all four tables were occupied.
But the number of people is still growing, so we have to share tables.
Since they shared the same food, it was inevitable that some people at the same table would start chatting enthusiastically.
Grandma Ye leaned against the side, a smile on her face. "There are so many people here. Should we buy some more tables and chairs?"
Ye Panjiu was busy serving braised food. "No need," she said. "This makes the place look more popular, and many customers who aren't really interested will come along."
She simply applied the principles of online celebrity stores to create hype first, making many people feel that the store must have something special and want to give it a try.
With the boost of popularity, an 8-point delicious food will be rated as a 9-point food. Conversely, if a food is not delicious, the passing grade of 5-point food will only drop by 3 points.
She was confident in her braised food and had nothing to fear.
"It's cheaper braised food, there's no harm in trying it!"
At the other end of the alley, a somewhat hoarse shout came from there.
Ye Panjiu looked in the direction of the sound.
It was the woman with the green turban who ran the wonton stall, and this time she had a middle-aged man by her side shouting for her.
The stall was set up exactly the same as Ye Panjiu's, also selling braised food.
Old Mrs. Ye's face turned ashen when she saw it. "Shameless bastards! It's one thing to copy, but they even come here to steal our business!"
Liu's face was full of worry, and her hands unconsciously clenched.
With her hands on her hips, Sun was about to charge forward.
Ye Panjiu grabbed her sleeve speechlessly, "Second sister-in-law, where are you going?"
Sun rolled up her sleeves, "I can't swallow this! I'll curse her to death!"
"..."
“There will definitely be followers, it’s okay, I’m confident. It’s not just her, there will be many more following suit, don’t be afraid,” Ye Panjiu said with a smile.
Mrs. Sun lowered her hand; she would listen to her younger sister.
"Alright, hurry up and serve it to the guests, don't keep them waiting."
Sun picked up a bowl of braised food in a huff and prepared to leave.
Ye Panjiu stopped her, "No, don't bring your bad mood to the guests. Even if you can't smile, don't look upset."
Sun was taken aback for a moment, then suppressed her displeasure.
Ye Panjiu nodded.
She believes that the type of business that is most likely to lose customers permanently is one with a bad temper.
I paid for a meal, and now I have to deal with your bad attitude.
Even the most delicious meal was quickly halved.
At Aunt Qingfutou's place, every braised food item was one cent cheaper than Ye Panjiu's.
Initially, offer some prices to attract customers.
Many people who walked up to Ye Panjiu's stall immediately turned around and went to Aunt Qingfutou's stall after asking the price.
Ye Panjiu wasn't unhappy; on the contrary, Old Madam Ye's face grew increasingly dark, and her heart was in her throat.
The stall was still packed with people, but the speed of serving customers was a bit slow.
Some of the guests who came out of Aunt Qingfutou's shop didn't say anything, but their expressions weren't exactly those of someone who was overjoyed to have eaten something delicious.
Ye Panjiu carefully observed the food while serving it.
There were originally only three or four food stalls in this area, but now that Aunt Qingfutou has started making braised dishes, everyone else's eyes are wandering.
The first day it sold out in one hour, but today it took an extra half hour to sell out completely.
Grandma Ye tidied up the tables and chairs unhappily, muttering under her breath, "So annoying!"
Ye Panjiu's lips twitched. The larger the market, the more stable the leading position will be.
"Mother, we made money through braised food, so naturally others want to make money through braised food too. That's normal. Just like our charcoal business, we were taking away business from the people who used to supply charcoal to Laifu Inn."
Grandma Ye shut her mouth before she could continue cursing. "You're right, but I still feel uncomfortable."
"It's not worth it. How about I buy you a piece of candy to make you feel sweeter?" Ye Panjiu said with a smile.
Grandma Ye slapped her hand, "You're so carefree! I'm so old and I still eat candy!"
But I still feel very happy to be pampered by my daughter.
Just then, a vendor holding a candied hawthorn skewer walked by.
"Then how about we buy a skewer of candied hawthorns?" Grandma Ye casually pointed.
Both Liu and Sun gave Old Lady Ye a look that was hard to describe.
Ye Panjiu stepped forward and bought six skewers of candied hawthorn, two coins per skewer.
She gave Grandma Ye a skewer, saying, "Mom, please eat slowly."
Then everyone was given a string of them.
Sun raised her eyebrows and tentatively took a bite.
"Oh my, this tastes sweet and sour! No wonder Peach Blossom has been asking for candied hawthorns every day!"
Ye Taohua's face flushed red. "Second Aunt!"
Sun looked up at the sky, ate a candied hawthorn, and crunched it in her mouth.
Liu held the string of candied hawthorns as if it were a hot potato, as she had been taught from a young age not to eat outside.
We're still on the main road!
"Mom, it's so delicious!" Ye Guihua's eyes sparkled.
Ye Panjiu glanced at Liu Shi, but didn't try to persuade her. Instead, she handed over a piece of oiled paper.
"Sister-in-law, you can pack it up if you want to go back and eat it."
Liu was stunned for a moment, then took a bite.
They don't need to do this, why does she have to go through all this trouble?
She really wanted to eat it right away.
Ye Panjiu smiled and took back the oil paper.
Everyone in this family is changing subtly.
The next day, Ye Panjiu arrived in town at the usual time, around 9:00 AM, without arriving earlier than usual.
As she expected, the spot was taken by Aunt Qingfutou again.
She really knows how to make people unhappy...
Ye Panjiu shook her head and pulled the two people, who were instantly fuming, towards the end of the alley.
She'll give her a good demonstration of her forehand and backhand techniques today.
"Braised food, braised food, it's a bit pricey, but it's perfect except for the price!"
"If it's cheap and doesn't taste good, you might as well not eat it at all. No comparison, no harm done. Give this braised food a try!"
Every shout from Ye Panjiu made Aunt Qingfutou's face uglier.
This gave Sun a sparkle; her eyes lit up, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she uttered:
"Deliciousness is the key; location is nothing compared to aroma!"
"The one-of-a-kind braised food is here! It still tastes the same, what does it taste like? A taste that no one else can make!"
"For just five coins, you won't lose out or be cheated, but you'll definitely get a kind of happiness that four cents can't buy!"
Ye Panjiu couldn't help but laugh. Her second sister-in-law's mouth was truly a deadly weapon.
The woman with the green turban started banging on the pot again, and many of the customers who were initially trying to take advantage of the deal ran away as soon as they saw her face.
His face was as black as a pancake; who would put up with that?
Thanks to Sun's comprehensive 360-degree comparison, today's braised food sold out 15 minutes faster than yesterday.
Ye Taohua, filled with admiration, moved closer to Madam Sun and said, "Second Aunt, I think you speak so beautifully, I want to learn from you!"
