Chapter 290: Sales of Aged Vinegar and Bean Products Fail
As soon as Shopkeeper Li said this, the situation immediately became uncontrollable.
The small warehouse was packed in no time. The people from Luhua Town, who were a little timid at first due to the overcrowding, had no time to think about anything else. They just stood at their counters and began to introduce themselves as they had been taught in the previous training.
In order to spread the reputation of Luhuabai, Cui Qingyi instructed the manager to prepare enough wine for the guests to taste. Everyone took a sip, and soon even the outside of the warehouse was filled with the aroma of wine.
Passersby saw how bustling the warehouse was and smelled the aroma of wine, so even if they couldn't squeeze in, they would stand outside to watch the fun.
At this moment, a neatly dressed waiter came forward and asked, "Would you like to try our Luhua Town's Luhua Bai? This is a recipe improved by the Dongping Township owner. It is strong in nature but mellow and not spicy. It is the best wine."
A tall pedestrian stopped in his tracks after hearing the description. "Is there any northern Shaodaozi strong enough? Give me a cup to try."
It was definitely impossible to have a drink. The cup handed over by the waiter was only enough for one mouthful. The man didn't say anything, raised the glass to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the man who was said to have tasted the Northern Divine Blade. He closed his eyes as if savoring the wine. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said loudly, "How much of this wine do you have left? I want ten jars."
The waiter smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have much goods this time, but if you can wait a while, there will be more in half a month."
The same conversation was everywhere in the warehouse. "What? It's gone? Why didn't you bring more with you? You don't know how to do business."
The people of Luhua Town who were criticized didn't care at all. They brought enough with them, but it was sold too quickly. Their Luhuabai was so popular. Their village chief was so powerful that he could brew such delicious wine.
"Sir, we didn't bring much this time, but if you can wait, we'll have more in half a month. Or you can try the vinegar from Luhua Town, it's also a specialty."
Because the white reed catkins were so eye-catching, almost no one was interested in the aged vinegar tofu products brought by the caravan.
The guys in charge of the aged vinegar and soy products counters could only watch the busy scene at the Luhuabai counter.
Fortunately, Yangmei saw the situation clearly and adjusted the sales strategy in time, asking the guy who introduced Luhuabai to mention their vinegar and soy products at the appropriate time.
Both of these items cost a lot of money and manpower to make. The village chief said that they will become the representative products of their Luhua Town in the future. It will be a disaster if they can't sell them.
However, the merchants were attracted by the white reed flower and their sense of smell were attracted by it. They said impatiently: "What's so special about vinegar and tofu? You'd better take out all the white reed flower you have in stock."
The merchants simply couldn't believe that such a large caravan from Luhua Town would only bring so few things.
Although Cui Qingyi was sitting in the teahouse, someone was constantly reporting the situation in the warehouse.
"We didn't sell any vinegar or soy products?"
The messenger wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That's right. All those guests are staring at Luhuabai."
Cui Qingyi thought for a moment and asked, "How much of the reed husk we brought is left?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "There are only about thirty jars left."
Cui Qingyi pondered for a moment before ordering, "Bottle the remaining thirty jars of reed buds, one for each bottle of white wine, one for each bottle of aged vinegar, and one for each type of soy product. Then, sell the reed buds individually, bundled with the aged vinegar and soy products. Do you understand?"
Although the combination of white wine, aged vinegar and soy products is a bit strange, since Luhuabai sells well, Cui Qingyi doesn't care about martial ethics anymore. Her vinegar and soy products must be sold.
The steward was a little hesitant and was about to go back to pass on the message when Cui Qingyi gave another instruction: "When selling retail, be sure to carefully select the customers. Some merchants who come from far away can be spared. Also, tell Chunmei and the others to bring out some various soy products for the customers to taste."
After hearing what Cui Qingyi said, Yang Mei reacted quickly and ordered people to remove half of the white reed on the container and fill the empty space with aged vinegar and soy products.
The guests here were all attracted by the aroma of Luhuabai wine, and they were a little anxious at the moment. However, Yangmei was calm and said: "Everyone, the Luhuabai that our caravan brought this time is almost sold out. The guys just said that those who haven't booked can wait for half a month.
If you want to take a look around, you can take a look at the aged vinegar in our Luhua Town. This is also the recipe improved by our Dongping Township owner. You can smell it and take a look. The vinegar produced in our Luhua Town is darker in color and more sour. After being stored for a period of time, it will not only not become moldy or spoiled, but also become more fragrant, sour and delicious.
And we have soy products, which I guarantee you've never seen before. They keep for a long time, so take some with your caravan. When you're out and about, just soak them in hot water, boil them, and season them with our aged vinegar, and they'll be a delicious side dish."
In preparation for today's event, Yang Mei hardly slept last night. She memorized the product manual compiled by Cui Qingyi by heart, and now she can speak about it without stuttering at all.
Before she finished speaking, Chunmei brought up some of the freshly prepared five-spice dried tofu, cold bean curd skin, cold bean curd sheets, and fermented bean curd. She even cut a plate of steamed bread slices to go with the fermented bean curd.
Seeing that the entire container had changed its appearance in an instant, the merchants who could not see the reed catkins they had been longing for but were unwilling to leave had no choice but to turn their attention to soy products.
As soon as I looked over, I saw a pair of chopsticks in my hand, and I naturally picked up the chopsticks to taste it.
Someone chewed the cold bean curd skin in their mouth and was a little surprised: "You said it was made of beans, are you sure it's the same beans used to make tofu?"
After receiving a positive reply, the man picked up another piece of dried tofu. Dried tofu was more resilient and chewy than bean skin, and had a unique spice flavor. The merchant, who was used to traveling all year round, immediately understood the benefits of this thing.
But he remained calm, pretending not to be interested and walked away.
These businessmen were extremely shrewd. He had seen it clearly as soon as he entered the warehouse. The people from Luhua Town sold wine on the one hand, but they must have also brought a lot of soy products and aged vinegar. However, these things were not easy to sell, so he decided to wait and see the situation before taking action.
Even though Cui Qingyi and Yang Mei made timely adjustments and finally sold some aged vinegar and soy products by bundling bottled Luhuabai, the results still looked a bit miserable compared to Luhuabai.
The people in Luhua Town who were responsible for the sales of aged vinegar and soy products were a little panicked. At this moment, they finally understood that even with the village chief in front of them, doing business would not be an easy task for them.
