Chen Gui waved his hand.
"There's no need for that. What if the children in our village are stupid and there aren't many promising talents? What if the teacher leaves after only a few days? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Chen Xian pondered.
Uncle Chen patted Chen Xian on the shoulder and laughed, "Brother Xian, you're usually so quick-witted, why are you so stubborn now? Your Uncle Gui just wants to save you money, doesn't he?"
Chen Xian smiled.
"Alright then, saving a little is definitely a good thing, thank you Uncle Gui."
Chen Gui waved his hand.
“Nobody’s money grows on trees. I know your family has to get up before dawn every day to prepare food. It’s hard work and life is not easy.”
Studying and taking the imperial examinations was the only, and relatively safe, way for farmers to improve their lives.
In this era, few farmers would voluntarily send their children to school, believing that education would be too expensive. They preferred to help with farm work to reduce the burden of feeding the extra people in the family.
Look at their magnanimity and vision.
She glanced again at her son, who was standing to the side muttering to himself.
"Dad, this piece of meat is good. Cut off the fat, fry it in oil, and stir-fry the cracklings with vegetables. The taste is simply amazing."
Chen Qingshan was annoyed and kicked him.
Why are there such big differences between people?
I feel heartbroken.
"Look at how pathetic you are!"
“Dad, what did I do wrong? Usually when we cook delicious food at home, you never miss a bite, and all you do is criticize me.”
Chen Gui almost became withdrawn.
The treacherous son.
On the other side.
In the town.
Taoranju.
"Shopkeeper, the price of pork has gone up again. It's now 43 coins a catty."
Shopkeeper Tao was speechless.
"The price of braised pork trotters and braised pork has increased by 150 coins."
"Shopkeeper, isn't this a bit too cheap? Pork prices have risen by almost half, shouldn't we raise our price to two hundred coins?"
“We’re now competing with Baiweilou next door for customers. Pork prices are rising, and they might raise their prices to 200 coins. We can withstand the cost pressure and only sell for 150 coins. Won’t all the customers come to us?”
"But can we really hold on?"
Shopkeeper Tao said in a deep voice, "We have to hold on even if we can't hold on. Haven't we done this kind of thing enough? In the end, it's just a price war. We'll outlast them. In the end, we'll be the only ones in town who know how to make braised pork. We can order as much as we want."
“Even at three hundred or four hundred coins, people will still buy it.”
Manager Tao gave the order.
"Go and change the prices of the braised pork and braised pork knuckle on the store's menu."
"OK."
Manager Tao secretly vowed, "The only thing to do now is to compete with the Baiwei Restaurant next door and see who can outlast whom."
It was as if she had suddenly remembered something.
He was restless and suddenly remembered the Chen family who ran the stall.
Once I bankrupt Baiweilou, the next family to be dealt with will be the Chen family.
He will not allow anyone else in the entire Daxing Town, except for Taoranju, to sell braised pork.
If you sell it for a mere twenty coins, and then sell it for two hundred coins in the future, those who are greedy for cheap prices will definitely go to Chen's stall to buy it.
I had previously given them the opportunity to buy their formulas and allowed them to sell them at stalls, but they were useless and didn't know how to seize the opportunity.
If he misses this opportunity, Taoranju will definitely not give him the chance to set up a stall.
Otherwise, if customers see that they are selling for 200 coins while others are selling for 20 coins, and that they can still keep their stalls open for 20 coins, it means they are making a profit.
Wouldn't it be more profitable to sell it for 200 coins yourself?
How can diners feel comfortable?
They all wondered if they were being taken advantage of.
Let the Chen family frolic for a while.
A waiter secretly let a boy in and whispered in his ear, "Boss, this is someone sent by Manager Ma. He said he originally planned to charge the Chen family's stall more for sanitation fees, but the Chen family's stall only paid for one day and hasn't come over for the past few days."
Shopkeeper Tao chuckled.
"Out of touch with reality."
"Never mind him, I'm focusing all my energy on Baiweilou right now."
soon.
Taoranju began to attract more people, and the Tang Dynasty began to become lively.
"Hey shopkeeper, why is your braised pork so expensive? The shop next door hasn't raised its price, but you're selling it for 150 coins. Isn't that too expensive?"
The waiter explained, "Sir, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Let me explain. Pork prices have been rising recently, so vegetable prices should indeed go up, otherwise our business will be in a difficult situation."
The diner retorted rudely, "What does it matter to me if your restaurant is struggling to survive? The money you earn has nothing to do with me. Don't try to blackmail me with your logic. I only care that this dish is more expensive than others, is that a problem?"
"I'm just a customer, not the owner. You expect me to sympathize with you, but who's going to sympathize with my wallet!"
The onlookers, who had already been persuaded by the waiter, subconsciously followed his line of thought.
Empathy is key; business is indeed tough.
It's reasonable that pork prices are rising, and other meat and vegetable prices are also rising.
But I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
I can't really explain it.
Once the diner explained the pros and cons of the matter, everyone immediately nodded in agreement, truly embodying the spirit of those who speak for others.
"Brother, your insightful comment has spoken our true feelings. It's refreshing!"
"Yes, your business is tough. Do you think our money comes from the wind? Even if it does, we have to bend down and pick it up. I'm a customer, not the boss. I only care about which restaurant has the cheapest food!"
