"I just think that what you said is really good. You said that if there are many people doing a thing, then they should do their best and be irreplaceable. I think you are very insightful. Why don't I understand these principles?"

"Weiwei, I think you are different from others. You seem to have everything under control. I like this quality in you."

Song Zhou, who loves reading, said this, and Tang Yunling immediately nodded.

"Yes, this is what I admire most about my Weiwei."

"She's still trying to steal business from Shiweiji. Just wait, my Weiwei will definitely beat her to a pulp."

They were confident in themselves, but Lu Baiwei smiled and shook her head.

After all, Yu Jing was born and raised in Kyoto and her family was well-off. In fact, it would be difficult to deal with her without Su Changyao's secret recipe.

In fact, as soon as Su Changyao handed the secret recipe to Lu Baiwei, he told her that he wanted to improve the secret recipe of braised food.

But Lu Baiwei knew that Yu Jing also opened a braised food shop next to her house, so she kept a trick up her sleeve and temporarily suppressed Su Changyao from using the improved secret recipe.

Two days before Yu Jing's braised food shop, Baiwei Lucai, opened, Shiweiji used the improved braised food secret recipe provided by Su Changyao.

The business model of Shiweiji can be copied.

On the first day of opening, Yu Jing's Baiwei Lucai restaurant adopted the business strategy used by Lu Baiwei when she opened the store, offering a 10% discount on braised dishes, and giving away half a pound of vegetarian stewed dishes when buying three pounds of braised dishes.

This method did attract customers and even took away old customers that originally belonged to Shiweiji.

Yu Jing was busy entertaining relatives and friends who came to support her. Guan Tiantian poked her head to the door of Shiweiji and looked out. When she came back after finding out the news, she pulled Yu Jing aside and laughed at her.

"Jingjing, you don't know, that Lu Baiwei is at her wit's end. We gave her a 10% discount and free vegetarian food for the opening, which stole her customers. How do you think she responded?"

"Buy a pound of braised food and get a hairband and flower for free."

"The hairbands and hair ornaments at the entrance of her shop are nice, but they are only 30 cents each at most. It's not as cost-effective as our 10% discount and free half a pound of vegetarian stew."

"You don't know, today the entrance of Shiweiji is deserted, all the customers came to our store."

Guan Tiantian was gloating, and Yu Jing also had a triumphant smile on her face. She said that after all the customers from Shiweiji were taken away, she would let Gu Chuanbai see who was better between her and Lu Baiwei.

Yu Jing was still talking about Gu Chuanbai, whom she had been thinking about all the time, but the customer who bought the braised food just threw his chopsticks.

"What's that smell? Why do the stewed dishes in your store smell fishy?"

Annoyed that he didn't spend his money's worth, a middle-aged man who came to the restaurant to eat braised food threw his chopsticks.

Other diners echoed the sentiment.

"Yes, there is something wrong with this stewed dish. The duck meat is hard to chew and has not been well-seasoned."

"The pig's head was over-braised and tasted rotten when you chew it."

"It's far worse than the taste memory."

"The stewed dishes at Shiweiji are getting better and better. The taste of Baiwei stewed dishes is far inferior to that."

"There's a saying that goes, cheap things don't come cheap, but don't say it's a good deal because what's the point of a discount if it doesn't taste good."

The people queuing up at the door to order the braised dishes heard the diners in the restaurant talking about how some of them were not greedy for the discounts offered by the new store.

"Forget it, I'll just go to Shiweiji to buy some braised food!"

"Is the food here really that bad? You might as well go back to Shiweiji. They'll give you a hairpin or a flower when you buy braised food there today."

"That hairband and flower pattern is really pretty. I'll go pick one out for my granddaughter."

"Wait, wait, I'll go too."

In the blink of an eye, half of the diners in the queue had left, and Yu Jingguan Tiantian was dumbfounded.

As for Lu Baiwei, Song Zhou was worried about her.

While there was a long queue at the Baiwei Braised Food restaurant next door, there were only a few neighbors coming to buy braised food at Shiweiji.

Song Zhou asked Lu Baiwei: "Weiwei, the Baiwei Braised Food next door is offering a discount and free vegetarian stews, how about we also offer a discount and free vegetarian stews?"

"Need not!"

Lu Baiwei looked calm.

Not to mention that Song He is now working at Shiweiji. The success of Shiweiji's business determines whether Song He can stay in the capital. If this is not the case, Song Zhou cannot tolerate Yu Jing and Guan Tiantian, who are full of bad intentions.

These two people deliberately opened a braised food shop next to Shiweiji and came to target Lu Baiwei. It was simply murderous.

Song Zhou was just about to persuade Lu Baiwei and Gu Min to think of a solution when he discovered that the people queuing next door had stopped queuing and were walking towards Shiweiji.

"Aunt, are you here to buy stewed food?"

Song Zhou took the initiative to greet Lu Baiwei.

The aunt in the lead asked Song Zhou: "Does your store give away a hairband with a flower when you buy braised food today?"

"Yes, yes. Buy a pound of braised food and get a hair flower and hair band for free. Our hair flowers and hair bands are in short supply from the south. Each hair flower costs 50 cents. This is much more cost-effective than the discounted braised food."

"Aunt, please do the math, is this true?"

Now that the individual economy has been liberalized, there are people carrying baskets selling hair ornaments and hair ties at the school gate. The nice styles are no longer 50 or 30 cents each. You can get the best one that suits your needs for 20 cents.

Two cents is still money!

A pound of braised dishes costs about two yuan, and two cents is equivalent to one-tenth of two yuan, which is equivalent to a 10% discount on the braised dishes.

And the braised dishes recorded by Shiweiji are really delicious.

Especially the dish I braised these two days, I can’t forget it after taking a bite.

My aunt immediately said, "If I buy a pound of pork head, will you give me a head flower as well?"

Lu Baiwei nodded: "Send it."

"I have guests coming to my house today. They want to buy pig ears and half a braised duck."

"Master Su, this half of the braised duck weighs two kilograms. Can I give you two head flowers as a gift?"

Su Changyao looked at Lu Baiwei for help, and Lu Baiwei said quickly: "Free. The more you buy, the more you get."

Don’t underestimate the small and inexpensive head ornament, because Shiweiji’s braised dishes are very good, and the dishes cooked with the new secret recipe taste great. Even if Baiwei Lucai offered discounts and gave away vegetarian dishes on the first day of opening, the two businesses are still on par.

This is because it was the first day that Baiwei Lucai opened, and most of the customers were relatives and friends who came to support the restaurant.

Sure enough, the next day, there were no more fans. Those who had already tasted the flavors of hundreds of braised dishes would rather not take up their three-day discount and chose to come back to Lu Baiwei's Food Diary to buy braised dishes.

Looking at the few people coming to the door to order braised dishes, Yu Jing felt very worried.

If business continues like this, all the meat and vegetables we prepare will go bad. Now that the weather is hot, we can only sell them day by day.

Guan Tiantian suggested: "Jingjing, how about a 20% discount?"

"What's the taste of braised food? Aren't we just eating meat? If you give us a 20% discount, many people will definitely take advantage of the bargain. Then Lu Baiwei's braised food won't be sold. It's so hot, all of it will go bad."

Seeing the long queue at the Shiweiji shop, Yu Jing was filled with jealousy.

She had stopped Gu Chuanbai yesterday and said she would prove that she was no worse than Lu Baiwei. However, the shop she opened with all her savings couldn't even compete with the Shiweiji next door.

Overwhelmed by anger, Yu Jing promised Guan Tiantian: "Okay, 20% off."
