This is why the village has been impoverished again and again. Even the village chief is short-sighted, only thinking about maintaining his family expenses and current food and clothing, but not looking at the long-term future.
After the banquet, she did not persuade the villagers much. After all, this was her own idea. When the few villagers who followed her made money first, more and more people would come to her. Good things are never too late.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xueying went straight to Qinglailou with a basket of potatoes. She planned to become the largest potato supplier. When she became successful in the future, she would set up an assembly line and sell potatoes all over the country. That was why she took a fancy to this most famous local restaurant at first sight.
When he heard that it was Jiang Xueying who came to see him, the owner of Qinglailou immediately came out to entertain her in person. He is the God of Wealth.
"Boss Jiang, what good stuff did you bring me this time?"
Jiang Xueying smiled and took a potato from her basket.
"Boss, take a look at this thing, it's called potato, it can be used to make the most delicious food in the world. If you have it, your restaurant business will definitely flourish."
The shopkeeper subconsciously frowned, looking at the gray thing in front of him. It was really hard to imagine what delicious food could be made from it. No matter how delicious it was, could it be as delicious as the delicacies from land and sea?
"This... Boss Jiang, this doesn't look very delicious. I'm afraid the customers won't be able to accept it. Besides, the chefs in the restaurant don't know how to make it."
Jiang Xueying had expected this to happen. After all, they didn't know what potatoes were and naturally didn't know how to eat them.
"Boss, don't be so hasty to draw a conclusion. How about this? I'll use these potatoes to make a table of dishes for you and the chefs to taste. If you think the taste is okay, you can buy from me."
Seeing the shopkeeper nod reluctantly, Jiang Xueying didn't care much. She believed that the shopkeeper would feel it was worth it soon.
Jiang Xueying went to the kitchen and started cooking enthusiastically. After a while, several dishes were served on the table, looking delicious.
The shopkeeper was a little surprised. He took a tentative piece of food with his chopsticks and his eyes lit up. He couldn't help but praise it. The other chefs also tasted it and nodded.
"Oh, this taste is probably unique. If these dishes were on the menu of our restaurant, it would definitely attract customers in droves!"
Looking at the expressions of the few people, Jiang Xueying knew that the matter was settled, and said with a smile.
"Boss, I can sell you potatoes at the best price, but you have to cooperate with me to hold an event."
Activity?
The shopkeeper was a little confused. He didn't understand, but after seeing Jiang Xueying's abilities, he no longer dared to underestimate her. He quickly signaled Jiang Xueying to continue.
"Boss, I actually want to cooperate with you to hold a potato banquet. We can treat it as a competition. I will provide the potatoes and prize money, and you just need to recruit talents. Potatoes are a delicacy that is difficult for everyone to accept at first, and few people are willing to try new things. But if we hold this competition and let potatoes become popular among the people, you won't have to spend so much effort on advertising."
This activity is of only benefit to the restaurant, and there is no harm. Moreover, the prize money is paid by Jiang Xueying alone, and they can also buy high-quality potatoes at a low price. There is no reason for the owner to miss it.
Besides, he had seen through Jiang Xueying's business acumen. Everything she did would make money. Now that he was cooperating with Jiang Xueying, he could be said to be getting a great deal. How could he not agree?
"Okay, then this matter is settled. As for the specific details of the competition..."
Jiang Xueying took out a piece of paper. Modern people require a plan before doing anything. This was what she hastily wrote at home today, and it was also her initial idea.
"During this period, I will come to the restaurant every day to personally supervise the organization of this competition. If the shopkeeper trusts me, he can let me command his men. Of course, I will not disturb the restaurant's business. I will just pick a few people."
The shopkeeper nodded without hesitation. He naturally understood the various benefits of holding events in his own restaurant. Besides, it was Jiang Xueying who proposed the competition. There was nothing wrong with letting her be the leader. It would also save him from worrying and he could just follow and make money.
The matter was settled. Jiang Xueying went to restaurants every day to prepare for the competition. This was very important for the sale and promotion of potatoes. If the competition was successful, she would have no problem selling any number of potatoes, and Qinglailou would only be a small part of it.
"Hey, what is Qinglailou doing? Why are they setting up a stage? Are they going to ask the girls to dance for us?"
"Hehehe, I think it's okay. If there are girls dancing, I will definitely come to watch!"
Several people were whispering to each other below, discussing why Qinglai Building had set up such a grand stage. Jiang Xueying, who heard their conversation, immediately turned around and stuffed a simple flyer she had made into their hands.
"Everyone, we at Qinglai Building are holding a potato food competition. If you are able, please sign up and participate. If you don't want to sign up, you can come and watch. There will be prizes for everyone."
When they heard that there were prizes for just looking, the onlookers immediately became interested and rushed over to inquire and ask for flyers.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Xueying distributed a lot of flyers. People all loved to join in the fun and they all agreed to come and see it when the time came.
"Hey, why are you holding this potato competition? Can you eat this black stuff on top?"
The flyer made by Jiang Xueying stated the registration requirements and prize money, as well as the appearance of the potatoes themselves and the delicious food they would turn into after being cooked. All of them were drawn by the best artist in the city.
"Everyone can rest assured, this competition is fair and honest. The food above was painted by Master Zou based on the food made in our Qinglai Building."
The celebrity effect is reflected here again. As long as people hear that it is done by a famous person, their level of acceptance will be raised to a higher level.
"Everyone come and watch the fun! You might even have a chance to taste our delicious food!"
In addition to the surrounding audience groups, Jiang Xueying also specifically instructed people to go to the surrounding villages and towns to spread the news.
Originally many people were unwilling to come because of the long distance, but when they saw the maximum prize on the flyer was 100 taels, they packed up their bags and came. They didn't know how long they would have to grow vegetables or work to get the 100 taels, and some people couldn't even earn that much in their entire lives. Even famous chefs from major restaurants signed up to give it a try.
