Chapter 124: Yin Yang, a burst of output
"Fuck you, Liu! Why are you so arrogant? Am I the one who wants to block the road? If you hadn't instigated me, would I have blocked the road here? Tell me clearly today, who is the one who wants to block the road!"
The fried rice lady saw that everyone came to persuade her and was about to move to another place, but she suddenly heard the cold noodle shop owner trying to shift the blame. She ran to the cold noodle stall in a panic, pointed at the stall owner's nose and started cursing.
"What does it have to do with me? You wanted to stop it yourself. What do you mean I instigated you? Do you have evidence? I was helping you out of kindness, and you're blaming me!"
The Liangpi stall owner's face flushed red, he looked around with averted eyes, and began to stutter when he spoke.
The fried rice stall owner's face turned pale and he was breathing rapidly. After hearing this, he went straight up and grabbed the cold skin stall owner.
Zhao Xiaojing was watching the show indifferently. Seeing the fried rice lady quarreling again, she hurriedly pulled her stall cart towards the fried rice stall to prevent them from fighting and affecting her pork trotter rice.
The vendors around reacted quickly and stepped forward to grab the fried rice lady.
"Alright, alright! What are you all doing setting up stalls here?"
"Calm down, calm down, and keep quiet. The students are watching us. Are you really going to quit your business?"
"Business is already bad, if you keep making trouble like this, none of us will survive!" The pancake seller said impatiently, glancing at Zhao Xiaojing intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yeah! Move away quickly. We can't live without being squeezed here. Other people blocking the way here won't affect our business. What about you?" The owner of the cold noodles stall next to us also started to talk nonsense.
After hearing this, several vendors began to feel unhappy and looked at Zhao Xiaojing coldly.
"If your business isn't doing well, improve it. If you can't make ends meet, think about what you're doing wrong! Think about why students would rather buy meals that cost several times more than yours than eat your cheap snacks, instead of complaining about people who are doing better than you!"
Zhao Xiaojing said angrily while facing the gazes of several people.
"Is it me who blocked the road? When you saw her blocking the road, weren't I just enjoying the show? Why can she block me but I can, and she starts being sarcastic when I do? Who are you telling this to? It's the students' business where they want to eat. If your own food is delicious, affordable, cheap, and hygienic, even if it's only one of those things, your business wouldn't be as bad as it is now! If you can't do your job well, you should learn from it. Seeing people who are better than you will only make you jealous and you will never be able to do business well!"
Zhao Xiaojing spoke in a stern and forceful voice. She saw through the malice of these people, but she refused to accept the allegation that the poor business was due to her.
Her meals cost 30 yuan each, twice as much as the most expensive meal they sell, not to mention the snacks that can fill you up for just five or six yuan. Even if they can't match hers in taste, as long as they're a little better, the price alone will keep them in business.
She asked Lu Hongwen, and Lu Hongwen said that before she came, the business of the snack stand at the side door was just so-so. Although it was lively, most students came to buy fruit.
Most students would rather walk a few steps to the snack street to eat, because this area is close, the stalls are cheap, and the taste is not very good, and it is generally not tasty.
So when she suddenly appeared with such a delicious dish, students came one after another to grab it. The 300 or so servings of pork trotter rice every day were always sold out quickly. The business of other restaurants, even those that originally came to eat there just to make do with the students, also plummeted.
They are jealous because they themselves are not competitive enough and have no selling points, so they can't stand anyone who breaks their average level.
"Okay! Well said, sister!"
"Sister is so cool!"
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, some students across from him started to make a noise and even applauded. Zhao Xiaojing looked up and saw that it was a group of students from Lu Hongwen's dormitory who had come to eat the pig's trotter rice on the first day.
He joined in the cheers, and the students around him also applauded. Some people were recording the video, and it was unknown how long it took.
Zhao Xiaojing's social anxiety suddenly erupted, and she returned to the state of being at a loss and embarrassed when she was selling fried skewers.
A group of vendors glared at her angrily with red eyes. They were about to curse back, but when they saw the students making a fuss, they shut up again.
A few people helped the fried rice boss move his stall in a dejected manner. Only then did Zhao Xiaojing successfully push the stall cart in and start setting up the stall.
"Sister, two servings of pork knuckle rice! You were so cool today! We recorded your video and sent it to the group chat!"
Lu Hongwen's two roommates were also very outgoing and were the first to come over and place an order.
"Boss, come on, pork trotter rice! Thumbs up for you!"
"Boss, give me two too! Boss, you're such a talker!"
"The boss is so powerful, and the food he cooks is the best!"
Before Zhao Xiaojing could answer him, another group of students came over, placing orders and praising loudly.
"I'm treating you two to pig's trotter rice. Can you do me a favor and create a group so that students who want to buy pig's trotter rice can scan the QR code to join the group?"
Seeing that there was already a long line of students and she had no hands free, Zhao Xiaojing spoke to Lu Hongwen's two roommates.
"Okay sis!"
"Sure, sis!"
The two people agreed straightforwardly, took out their mobile phones and started to create a group, then walked along the line from the front to the back, holding the QR code to promote it one by one, and everyone scanned the code and joined the group.
Zhao Xiaojing looked up and then got back to work with peace of mind.
She started thinking about creating a group after she saw the bad behavior of this group of people. She originally thought it was troublesome and had no plans to advertise or hold events like Lu Hongwen, nor did she plan to announce new products, so she had no intention of creating one.
But the current environment in this area makes setting up a stall feel too exhausting. First, the customer base is limited; business is slow during the students' winter and summer vacations. Second, there are only a dozen or so small stalls, and there's a lot of intrigue between them. Everyone's having trouble getting along. Zhao Xiaojing heard them hurling insults at each other on her first day. It's just hard-earned money, not a big business. If I have to deal with this crowd every day and expend the energy and energy to handle these unpleasant things, the time and labor costs are simply not worth it.
This not only affects her mood, but also Su Yuchen's mood. Moreover, if Su Yuchen is bullied by this group of people one day, that would be unbearable for her.
So Zhao Xiaojing decided to create a group first to secure customers. Then, she would observe for a while and if things didn't work out, she would look for other places, change the environment, open a restaurant directly, or start online ordering.
At half past six, Zhao Xiaojing sold all of today's pork trotter rice, packed up her stall, and prepared to leave amid the jealous and relieved gazes of the vendors.
As soon as I rode out of the winding road through the side door, I heard the girl's shouting behind me.
Zhao Xiaojing looked back and saw that it was the aunt who ran a fruit shop. She had met her when she was looking at shops on the street, and she was the one who brought her here to see the stall.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Zhao Xiaojing stopped the car and asked.
