"Ma'am, as soon as I see your demeanor, I know you are a very reasonable person."
"Think about it, we sell half a braised duck easily, but now you only pick the duck legs, how can we sell the rest?"
"Don't think that this duck head has bones and is not too heavy, but some people still like to eat it!"
That’s right, the duck head doesn’t weigh that much.
Then the guest who came to her house started to eat all kinds of strange things.
Aren’t there people who like to pick chicken butts and duck tongues?
What if the customer likes this?
Thinking about her son's job, the old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Then the duck heads and duck tongues must be mine."
"That's for sure, ma'am, the duck's head and tongue come together."
Su Guangyao cut the duck legs and duck head and weighed them, and Gu Min looked at them and weighed them.
"This one weighs one and a half pounds and costs three yuan, plus one dollar and eighty cents for the braised pork head, the total is four yuan and eighty cents."
"During the trial period of our new store, you can get a 10% discount if you buy two items, so 4.32 yuan is enough."
Can I still get a discount?
Forty-eight cents missing all of a sudden?
This is simply pie in the sky!
Is there such a good thing?
The old lady's eyes widened, and she took the packaged stewed food with a smile on her face: "Girl, this is the right way to do business. I will promote it to you when I eat it later."
Gu Min sighed, his sister-in-law Lu Baiwei's method really worked.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Gu Min explained: "Auntie, we will only give the neighbors a discount during the three days of trial. Once the restaurant officially opens, the discount will be gone."
"If you enjoy the food later, you are welcome to come back to buy braised dishes."
"That's for sure."
Even though she was short of a few cents, the old lady was willing to pay.
The uncle who bought a braised pig's head nearby hadn't left yet, but when he heard that there was a 10% discount for buying two items, he quit.
"Why didn't you tell me that I could get a 10% discount if I bought two?"
"Uncle, I haven't had time to say it yet!"
"If you buy another braised dish, I'll give you a 10% discount on the money you paid for the pork head, okay?"
The uncle readily agreed: "Okay, I'll buy the half of the duck that the man just bought."
"Also, I want to buy some braised vegetables to take back. I'm too lazy to prepare a meal. Would it be cheaper to buy three?"
The uncle is not short of money.
Gu Min shook her head: "That won't work, but if you buy three pounds of braised meat, no matter what kind, you can get half a pound of braised vegetables for free."
"Although your duck and braised pork head only weigh a little over two pounds, since you are the first customer in our restaurant, I will give you half a pound of braised vegetables as a gift."
10% off, and free vegetarian dishes?
The uncle who got the benefit was very happy to pay.
Gu Min handed him the packed food and said as usual: "It tasted good, please promote it."
"Okay, sure."
The uncle gave Gu Min and Su Changyao a thumbs up and said, "This is how you do business."
Gu Min and Su Changyao worked in perfect harmony and were busy with the work, which made life difficult for the two aunts who were hired to help.
After serving a group of customers, Gu Min looked back and saw the two of them looking worried, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"There are customers in the store, aren't you happy?"
Gu Min asked them: "What happened?"
The two aunts looked at each other, and one of them was brave enough to speak directly about her thoughts.
"I think that you and Master Su are enough to sell braised dishes. It seems that we are not needed."
"Didn't you say there was a probation period? Will you tell us in two days that we don't need to come anymore?"
It’s not easy to find a job these days. They won’t be needed for more than two days, so the two aunts are worried!
Gu Min was amused when she heard their thoughts: "It's still in trial operation, so I just started selling braised dishes with Master Su."
"Once we open for business, I will have to take care of a lot of things when there are a lot of customers. I won't have the time to stand here and sell stewed food every day. I will have to rely on you then."
People these days don't like to take advantage of others. Gu Min listened to Lu Baiwei's advice and got pig's head for people to taste. So, those who have tasted good braised dishes will spend some money to buy some.
It doesn't matter whether it's one or half a pound, some people also spend a few cents to buy one or two ounces, saying that they can take it back to steam buns or cook noodles.
Gu Min thought that many people now earn only a few dozen yuan a month, and not everyone can reach the level of their old man, who gets wages and allowances of over a hundred yuan.
Most of the people who patronize their business only pay a few cents.
"You'll be busy soon."
Gu Min took out five yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into the pocket of her sister-in-law who was talking to her: "Go to the farmer's market and buy twenty kilograms of noodles and one or two kilograms of green onions."
"Why……"
It might be because Su Guangyao was too capable. Not only was he a good cook, but he could also provide Gu Min with ideas for running the braised food shop, so that the aunt who came to help was very afraid of losing her job.
Worried that she would lose her new job, the aunt who was in charge of purchasing at the farmer's market originally wanted to buy ten kilograms of flour and five kilograms of noodles. But then she remembered that Master Su came to look for a job yesterday and suggested that Gu Min make flour and noodles.
A light bulb suddenly lit up in her mind, and she realized that she needed to buy more than ten or twenty kilograms of noodles to make braised noodles.
Keep some of the scriptures so you can buy more.
If it is powder, it must be consumed on the same day.
Besides, people in the north also eat a lot of pasta.
My aunt immediately changed her mind: "Give me fifteen catties of noodles and five catties of rice vermicelli."
After buying rice and flour, she picked up more than a pound of tender green onions. The aunt did not dare to be lazy. She did the job that Gu Min had assigned her and hurried to the braised food shop.
Lu Baiwei also wanted to know about Gu Min’s trial operation.
But this was Gu Min's first time doing business and she had no experience at all. She was also confident in the ingredients she prepared for the braised dishes. Lu Baiwei believed that her sister-in-law Gu Min could open a braised food shop.
It was just a trial phase, so Lu Baiwei maintained her attitude and didn't have too high expectations.
Considering that there was no staple food in the store, Lu Baiwei went to the cafeteria to pack a few white flour buns, and then took Tang Yunling and Song Zhou out of the campus to the store to eat braised dishes.
It was just that the get out of class ended a little late, and going to the cafeteria to pack up steamed buns took some time. When Lu Baiwei arrived, she saw a bustling and orderly scene.
Su Changyao was responsible for selling and cutting braised dishes, Gu Min was responsible for blanching noodles and vermicelli, and the two helping aunts were responsible for greeting customers and serving the dishes.
Lu Baiwei, Song Zhou and Tang Yunling had just arrived at the door, and before they had time to talk to Gu Min who was busy with work, the sharp-eyed and talkative aunt greeted them.
"Ladies, come in and try the noodles from our braised food shop. A bowl of noodles costs 1.2 cents and comes with one meat dish and two vegetable dishes."
Lu Baiwei asked her, "Do you have plain noodles?"
"We also have vegetarian noodles, eight cents a bowl."
Without giving Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling a chance to speak, the aunt spoke to Lu Baiwei at the speed of a machine gun.
"We add the broth of braised pork to our noodles. It's so delicious and has enough oil and water. I guarantee you'll want to come back again after trying it once. If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge you."
