Tang Youyou smiled slightly, "Yes, poetry gatherings can also be held at irregular times, such as the first snow in early winter, the first batch of peach blossoms in spring, the first chrysanthemums in autumn, spring tea, autumn tea..."
She turned around and found Li stunned. She swallowed and said, "Sister, you are so smart, but no one has ever done this before! It sounds very fresh!"
"We need to learn to create opportunities. Besides, my sister's teahouse can also sell tea!"
Li frowned and waved her hand: "No, isn't this stealing the tea merchants' business?"
Tang Youyou took her hand and explained carefully: "Sister, I'm not asking you to actually sell tea, but to sell memberships! Everyone can buy tea from you and then enjoy the service! This tea is not taken back, it's kept in the store!"
"Great, it really is! This way, customers will feel like they're getting a great deal, and the store will always be packed!"
"Sister, you can sell tea at a lower price. Then, when they come to listen to the storytelling and singing, you can sell other food!"
"I see. You want me to change my business model?"
Tang Youyou gave her a thumbs up, "Great, let's take the initiative and spread the word about the poetry gathering first. Then, we can use it to sell memberships!"
Mrs. Li was a little confused. "Sister, ever since I got pregnant, I've been stupid for three years! I can't believe it. Please tell me in detail!"
Tang Youyou covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Sister, you are not stupid. Just let Big Brother come up with the poem and have people come up with the couplets. You can give out rewards, such as drawing a red envelope, or you can sell tea at a low price. It will be interesting, and everyone will feel like they are getting a good deal."
Li slapped his forehead, a sudden realization dawning on him. "You mean we should raise the price of tea and then sell it at a lower price?"
"good!"
After all, Li has been in business for many years and immediately understood the meaning. In this way, everyone will have a preconceived notion and will definitely think that they have gotten the better deal!
"Sister, you've helped me a lot, but I've never done anything like this before. Could you come and help me?"
Tang Youyou looked at her visibly pregnant belly and smiled slightly, "It's a small matter!"
At lunchtime, all the rich ladies were stunned.
"Mrs. Li, are these the fresh foods you mentioned? Aren't these just ordinary vegetables?"
The other lady swallowed her saliva. These past few days, there were only cabbages and radishes. Where did the mushrooms and leeks come from?
"Hey, you, do you have any fresh vegetables to eat these two days?"
The woman reacted immediately and felt a little embarrassed.
Li smiled slightly, not angry at all, "Everyone, pick up your chopsticks and try it!"
He then passed a chicken leg to Tang Youyou.
Everyone looked at each other and did not look down on her because of her ordinary clothes.
"Wow...this chicken soup is so delicious!"
"It's all thanks to this mushroom!"
"The leeks are delicious too. They add a unique flavor to the scrambled eggs!"
Tang Youyou smiled slightly, "Ladies, you are all true gourmets. These leeks... can enhance male sexual function. They are a rare delicacy!"
A lady was choked and coughed non-stop. She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and asked casually, "Sister, are you telling the truth?"
Tang Youyou put down his chopsticks and said as if jokingly, "It should be true. The doctor in our village said so!"
Everyone had different thoughts. Tang Youyou couldn't help but laugh in her heart as she watched everyone's expressions change. These rich men must have three wives and four concubines. How could her body bear this in the long run? Aren't these leeks good?
Suddenly someone sighed: "But the smell is too strong, I can't get used to it!"
Everyone: Who told you to eat it? You told your husband to eat it! Is it because your husband can’t eat it?
Tang Youyou waved her hand, "My daughter doesn't like the taste either, but strangely enough, when I made it into dumplings for her, she actually loved it!"
The lady's eyes lit up and she was extremely surprised: Yes, although the master doesn't like onions and garlic, he likes dumplings.
Li's eyes lit up, "Sister, do you think this mushroom can be used to make dumplings?"
"Sister, everything can be made into dumplings, leeks and eggs, leeks and meat, mushrooms and meat, mushrooms and carrots..."
Mrs. Li laughed heartily. "Oh, you've brought out the glutton in me! Ever since I became pregnant, my appetite has been poor. I don't care. Tomorrow, you must bring me some more food!"
"No problem, although there's not much food left, but first, sister!"
When everyone heard this, they understood. It turned out that they gathered today because of this woman selling vegetables. Although they were a little dissatisfied, they thought that they were not short of money, and the master would probably be happy to have these fresh dishes in winter.
Someone said to Li in a stern voice, "Sister Li, this is really not a good thing. You have to give me some of this dish. My old lady has been suffering from anorexia these past few days!"
Mrs. Li shook her head. "That won't do. This dish isn't cheap. You know my teahouse business is really bad right now. If you want to eat it, buy it yourself from my sister!"
Everyone looked at Tang Youyou, only to see that she was a little embarrassed, "Ladies, to be honest, a lot has already been reserved, and there aren't many left!"
Everyone: How expensive is it? Selling vegetables is so pretentious?
Seeing that everyone's faces were not very good, Li quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Don't be angry, I'm a very honest girl. Otherwise, I still have some left, I'll share some with everyone! After all, it's the first batch of this winter, so it's understandable that it's a bit tight. Please understand!"
Some people are dissatisfied: "How expensive is it?"
Tang Youyou just made a "two" gesture.
Someone exclaimed, "Ah...you're asking for too much, two hundred coins a pound?"
Turning to look at Li, he said, "Sister, your sister is not honest!"
Tang Youyou was also stunned. She wanted to say twenty cents, but the meat was only eighteen cents. It was fine if this pound of vegetables was more expensive than the meat, but why did this woman give herself ten times the price?
"That's right, you still say she is honest, but how is she honest?"
Li didn't say anything, but turned into a foodie and kept eating mushrooms.
Everyone: Is it really that delicious? This is so rude!
Tang Youyou was not angry, "Ladies, you don't know that growing these vegetables is extremely difficult. It consumes a lot of manpower and requires almost twelve hours of constant work! This is also a way to earn hard work fees!"
Everyone then realized, yes, if it is so easy to cultivate, then why are there no fresh vegetables in winter for so many years?
Tang Youyou said apologetically, "Ladies, I'm so sorry, but the quantity is very limited, so it's first come, first served!"
"Sister Li said that the ladies are all very kind and friendly, and I'm sure they'll understand me! Right now, we only have mushrooms and leeks, but in a month, eggplant, beans, and spinach will be available!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Someone immediately took out two taels of silver and said, "Give me ten pounds, ahem... more leeks!"
As soon as this action was taken, everyone paid money to place an order.
Tang Youyou smiled happily, took out a small notebook and charcoal pencil from her sleeve, and began to record in the surprise of everyone.
