Chapter 98 Sister, no discount!
"Good boy, no wonder I can't make any money from setting up a stall. Looking at your attitude, I deserve to lose money."
Lu Hongwen came over, looked at the car for a long time, and then stared at the two kinds of sweet soup made by Zhao Xiaojing in the freezer.
"This looks much more upscale than what I make. How do you sell it?"
"The watermelon milk jelly and sago dew is ten yuan, and the green grape jasmine adazi is twelve yuan. What do you think?" Zhao Xiaojing said the agreed price and asked Lu Hongwen.
Zhao Xiaojing calculated the costs and chose seedless grapes, the "Beauty Finger" variety, which cost 120 yuan a box, weighing 10 jin (approximately 500 kilograms). She used up two boxes today. Jasmine bought the first crop in bulk, at 30 yuan per half jin (approximately 500 kilograms). She bought 10 jin (approximately 500 kilograms) and used two jin (approximately 200 kilograms). She also bought seedless watermelons, each weighing about 12 or 13 jin (approximately 500 kilograms), for 55 yuan each. She used three today.
Adding in miscellaneous ingredients such as coconut milk, milk, tapioca starch, honey and rock sugar, as well as water, electricity, labor, and stall fees, the cost of a cup of watermelon milk jelly and sago is about 6.2 yuan, and that of green grape jasmine adazi is about 7.6 yuan.
So the price is not expensive.
"The normal price is not too high in this area, but it is definitely not low either. It may not be easy to sell." Lu Hongwen looked at the syrup and acted as an advisor seriously.
"How about we give a discount on the first day of opening?" Su Yuchen suggested after hearing this.
"If we give a discount, we won't be able to cover the cost..." Zhao Xiaojing frowned.
"Did you really make this by yourself?" Lu Hongwen asked in surprise, pointing at the syrup when he heard Zhao Xiaojing say this.
"Yes, everything is handmade. Even the toppings were made this afternoon."
"Then think about it first. Can you give me a bowl first? I'll give it to you when you decide the price."
When Lu Hongwen heard that the colorful syrup was purely handmade, his mouth was already drooling even more.
"No need to give it to me, this is for you, which one do you want?"
Zhao Xiaojing opened the freezer and couldn't help laughing again. This college student was really interesting.
"The more expensive one!" Lv Hongwen happily made his choice. Given the choice, choosing the more expensive one was always right; that was his motto in life.
Zhao Xiaojing took a disposable bowl, first scooped half a spoonful of shaved ice as the base, then scooped some jasmine adazi and spread it on the ice, then poured a spoonful of green grape sauce, and finally spread half a spoonful of green grape pulp and sprinkled a little dried jasmine.
Lu Hongwen took the bowl full of green grape and jasmine adazi, looked at the emerald green grapes and the crystal clear adazi, and the only words left in his mind were "pure as ice and jade".
I hurriedly took a spoon and stirred it carefully, then scooped a spoonful of shaved ice with green grape sauce from the bottom and tasted it first.
The thick, simmered grape sauce is sweet with a hint of sourness, yet bursting with fruity flavor. It's definitely different from the pre-made sauces you buy from bakeries, as freshly made grape sauce lacks the saccharin overpowering flavor. Adding crushed shaved ice to the mix further balances the rich sweet and sour flavor. Each bite enriches the monotony of the ice cream and adds a layer of sweet and sour flavor.
Lu Hongwen only tasted the side dishes and was already amazed, and then he scooped up the main ingredient, Adazi.
Only when I scooped up the spoon did I find that this Adazi actually had details. Inside the white squares, you could vaguely see some white flower buds mixed in.
Lü Hongwen tasted one, puzzled, and discovered that the Ada Zi tasted jasmine, and that it was actually made with jasmine flowers. He had thought it was called Green Grape Jasmine Ada Zi because of the spoonful of jasmine sprinkled on the end of the finished product!
"Sister, no discount!"
Lu Hongwen ate a bowl of ice cream and even changed his address. He stretched out his hand to block the troubled Zhao Xiaojing, his eyes firm and sincere, as if he was about to take an oath.
However, Zhao Xiaojing, who was immersed in thought, did not hear it. She was looking at the system task she had just received.
[Limited Time Mission: Sell Green Grape Jasmine Adazi for 18 yuan per cup and Watermelon Milk Jelly Sago for 15 yuan per cup, and sell out all of today's sweet soup.]
She had already accepted the task, but after that she started to worry again.
This price is a bit high for the night market, and her stall is in a bad location. She originally set the price at 10 or 12 yuan in the hope of selling at a low price but quick turnover, but she didn't expect her plan to be disrupted.
Today is the first day. If I can’t sell out due to the price, not only will I fail to complete this mission, but it will also be difficult to attract the 100 repeat customers as a reward.
Zhao Xiaojing sighed sadly.
"Sister!" Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing seemed not to hear him, Lu Hongwen shouted again.
"What's wrong, mirror? Are you worried about the discount?"
"Sister, no discounts! Absolutely no discounts!"
"Who said it was expensive just now?" Su Yuchen put his hands on his hips and looked at Lu Hongwen with raised eyebrows.
"It's not expensive, not expensive at all! I ordered the dish based on market price because I didn't eat it before. But how can this bowl be defined by market price? Look at this bowl, these handmade ingredients are made with so much care! How can this be discounted?" Lu Hongwen held the bowl with a look of indignation on his face.
"No more fighting. I've reordered. A cup of Green Grape Jasmine Adazi is 18, and a cup of Watermelon Lactic Acid and Sago is 15!" Zhao Xiaojing took advantage of Lu Hongwen's enthusiastic momentum to announce it.
"Ah? Didn't you just say that it would be hard to sell if the price was too high? It would be fine if there was no discount, but why did you suddenly raise the price? You're not playing by the rules?" Su Yuchen looked confused.
"It's a good seller! Don't worry, I've been studying here for three years and I've tried almost every street vendor here. I know exactly what they taste like and I'm also fully aware of a student's spending power. Selling this sweet soup for ten or twelve yuan is a real loss. Other stalls won't offer such conscientious ingredients! Those who mix in some incomprehensible stuff dare to sell it for seventeen or eighteen yuan. Be more confident!"
Before Zhao Xiaojing could reply, Lv Hongwen rushed in with a confident answer. He ate the syrup as he spoke, and the more he ate, the more delicious it became. It was chewy and smooth. The fruit was good, too!
"It's delicious! It's absolutely amazing! If you don't sell it for 18, you'd be stupid! Trust me, your price is fine, it's absolutely worth it!"
Lu Hongwen ate half a bowl, then looked up and continued excitedly.
Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen smiled secretly again as they looked at Lu Hongwen's passionate expression.
"Wow, boss, how much are you selling this sweet soup? It's so pretty, it looks delicious! The car looks great too!"
As we were talking, two girls came over and asked about the price.
"This is Green Grape Jasmine Adazi, 18 yuan per cup, and this is Watermelon Milk Jelly Sago, 15 yuan per cup." Zhao Xiaojing introduced.
"It's a bit expensive..." The two girls looked at each other, a little hesitant.
"Let's go..." one girl pulled the other's arm and whispered.
"Beauty, there's a reason why you're expensive! Let me tell you..." Zhao Xiaojing was about to speak when Lu Hongwen interrupted her.
