Although Yun Mo let the two little ones set up the stall by themselves, she still went with them.
Just like yesterday, Xie Jinghuai did not go into the snack street, but set up the stall in the alley next to the snack street.
But this time, Xie Jinghuai gave a reasonable explanation.
"Sister Momo, the ice jelly and milk tea are all made on site. The production speed is slow, and you need to queue up when there are many customers. It is better to queue up under the shade of the trees than under the scorching sun."
“That makes sense.”
Yun Mo nodded approvingly, then took off her sun-protection clothing and sun hat, put them in her bag, and took out a small flower umbrella from her bag.
"You guys keep going, I'm going to go to the snack street to see if there's anything delicious to eat."
After entering the snack street, Yun Mo walked straight to the left with an umbrella.
She actually didn't come here to shop or eat, but to see if the handmade ice jelly sold by Bing Zhilian was really the same as hers.
Yun Mo found the Ice Love Sweet Water House without much effort.
Just like the day before, there was a queue at the entrance of Bing Zhi Lian, but there weren't many people, only about six or seven.
Yun Mo also joined in.
After all, it is a legitimate store, and Bingzhilian sells a wide variety of products, including red bean paste, mung bean paste, white fungus soup, sago dew and so on.
The handmade ice jelly is the signature product of Ice Love. The other sweet drinks only have their names, but the handmade ice jelly has a 30-inch advertising picture printed on it.
Soon it was Yun Mo's turn. She ordered a bowl of handmade ice jelly and a few bowls of mung bean soup.
When Yun Mo returned to where Ling Chunhua's stall was, the cart was already open for business.
Yun Mo did not go forward to disturb them, but found a stone table under the camphor tree and sat down, carefully studying the handmade ice jelly she bought from Bing Zhi Lian.
From the appearance, there is not much difference between the two ice jellys, except that the ice jelly of Bing Zhilian looks a bit plain.
Ice chips, ice powder and brown sugar account for two-thirds, and other ingredients account for one-third, so that the amount of each ingredient is very small.
A bowl of a delicacy like taro balls only has seven or eight of them, but the icy jelly she prepared for Ling Chunhua contained a spoonful of taro balls in a bowl, which means one spoonful contains about 20 taro balls.
In addition to taro balls, other items such as crushed peanuts, white sesame seeds, raisins, winter melon candy, hawthorn seeds, watermelon seeds, etc., are also sold in much less quantity than what she sells.
After looking at the ingredients, Yunmo tasted it again.
It is sweet enough, and the brown sugar water is very thick. After all, it only costs 50 cents a bowl, and no one would buy it if the taste was bad.
Yun Mo scooped up another taro ball and ate it reluctantly, then she didn't want to eat the second one.
I don’t know if it’s because the ratio of tapioca flour to glutinous rice flour is not adjusted correctly, or if the taro balls are left over from overnight, but they don’t taste fragrant, soft and chewy at all. Instead, they are hard and choke my throat.
With quality like this, they will probably close down in a few days.
After identifying Bing Zhilian’s handmade ice jelly, Ling Chunhua and Xie Jinghuai at the cart also finished their work.
Yun Mo walked over with mung bean soup, gave two bowls of it to the two of them, and took the rest to the store for Lingchuan and the others to eat.
Just like yesterday, the 50 servings of handmade ice jelly and pearl milk tea on the cart were quickly sold out. Some people even made reservations for tomorrow because they didn’t get any.
"What's going on? Why did the sales of handmade ice jelly drop so much all of a sudden?"
After get off work, Kang Xiaorou came to Bingzhilian and saw today's sales report. Her face looked very ugly.
Cheng Wei, who opened the dessert shop with her, explained gloomily: "It's still the Chunhua dessert shop. They sell it cheaply, so many people go to them to buy it."
Cheng Wei had told her about this the day before yesterday, but she didn't take it too seriously at the time.
Kang Xiaorou's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. "How much do they sell a bowl for now?"
"Sanmao, in addition to handmade ice jelly, they also sell something called pearl milk tea, which is also 30 mao a cup. Many people rush to buy it, but they only sell 50 of each type and they close the business once they sell out."
Kang Xiaorou was so angry that she slammed the table. "Damn it! We spent so much effort and money to build the reputation of our handmade ice jelly, but they took advantage of us for nothing.
Okay, you want to use price to pressure us, right? Starting tomorrow, we will also sell for 30 cents!"
“But they also have more ingredients than we do.”
"Then we'll add more ingredients too!"
"But that won't make any money. We'll have to pay about a hundred dollars a month for rent, electricity, water, and labor to take over this store!"
"I can't care about so many things now. I have to win back the customers first. With customers, I don't have to worry about not making money!"
After all, Kang Xiaorou has a college degree and is a bit smart, but not much.
Otherwise, she would understand that if she wanted to seize the market, she should improve the quality of her products and services instead of blindly engaging in price wars with her competitors.
The next day, a banner advertising “Summer promotion, handmade ice jelly at only 30 cents a bowl” was hung at the door of Bing Zhi Lian.
There is some effect. More people bought handmade ice jelly than yesterday, but it is still far from what was expected.
There is no way. After eating the authentic ones, who would want to eat counterfeit ones?
In this era, handmade ice jelly is Yun Mo's original creation. In addition, she is experienced and sophisticated in food, so the taro balls she makes can be said to be at the master level.
As for Kang Xiaorou, she is just Yun Mo's imitator, an apprentice who has just started and has not yet mastered the essence of the method.
In a blink of an eye, it has been three days since Bingzhilian put up the discount banner.
Except for some slight success on the first day, the next two days not only failed to attract more customers, but the number of customers actually decreased.
If things continue like this, we won’t be able to make any money, let alone recover our costs.
It is the exact opposite of the bleak situation on Bing Zhilian's side.
Ling Chunhua's cart business is getting better and better, and the sales of handmade ice jelly and pearl milk tea have increased from 50 servings each per day to 80 servings each per day.
But even so, it is still not enough to sell. They are all sold out before 6 o'clock every day, and many are still booked for the next day.
Kang Xiaorou finally couldn't hold it in any longer and went to buy a portion of Chunhua Tangshui's handmade ice jelly and pearl milk tea to try.
After tasting it, she knew that her defeat was not unfair.
Not to mention the pearl milk tea, the handmade ice jelly sold by Chunhua Tangshui is far better than her Ice Love in terms of appearance, texture and taste.
For the same price, she would rather buy the Chunhua dessert.
Since she couldn't win in terms of quality and price, she had to think of other ways.
Looking at the busy scene with a long queue in front of the Chunhua Dessert Truck, Kang Xiaorou thought unwillingly.
—
"Manager Huang, those two people are here again. They said they were looking for you. I told them you were not here, but they just kept guarding the factory gate and refused to leave."
In the bamboo weaving factory, the security guard at the gate ran to the office to report to Huang Zhiqiu.
Huang Zhiqiu was also distressed when he learned that Yuan Jia and Yuan Wei, brother and sister, had come again.
"I understand, Uncle Tian, just go back to your job and don't worry about them."
"Oh, okay."
