Chapter 179
The tailor shop owner took the drawing and listened to Su Miao's description for a while. Under her expectant eyes, he spent three minutes drawing a pattern and also differentiated between men's and women's styles.
Su Miao pointed at the drawing and said excitedly, "Ah! Right, right, right! That's it! That's exactly how I wanted to draw it!"
After deciding on the style details, the tailor shop owner sent an apprentice back to the shop with Su Miao to measure each person's size.
Unlike mass-produced clothes, clothes made according to individual body shapes are more comfortable to wear and look more fitted and beautiful.
Because he was a regular customer and the styles and designs were not complicated, the boss directly asked Su Miao if he could let his apprentice make this batch of goods.
He will control the quality, give a 50% discount, and there is no need to queue, so work can start immediately. In order to give the young apprentice an "internship" opportunity, the master is also very worried.
Su Miao nodded in agreement very readily. As long as the quality was what she wanted, it would not matter who did it. She could even get a discount, so why would she be unhappy?
In the past, customers who came to the tailor shop were all particular people. They would designate their own familiar masters to make the clothes, and at most let the apprentices take their measurements. Even then, they often complained that these apprentices lacked experience and might not measure well.
Some apprentices have been following their master for almost five years before they got the chance to take an order.
The feeling of being trusted made them very excited. Several people treated it with great care. Whether it was the buttons, piping or embroidery patterns, they were all done with extreme detail, far exceeding Su Miao's requirements.
Three days later, Su Miao received this batch of work clothes that completely exceeded his expectations. He could tell the dedication of the tailor just by looking at them without touching them.
She thanked them politely, gave the braised food in her hand to the chefs, and said that she would let them make the work clothes in the future.
Everyone in the store changed into brand new work clothes, and the level of Su Ji Food Store seemed to have suddenly improved. Diners were very curious about their beautiful clothes.
Some familiar neighbors even touched the corners of the clothes and praised them, saying, "This dress is really beautiful. The material and workmanship are also good. The Su family is really generous and makes one for every employee!"
That day, an unremarkable man came to the shop. He was about forty years old and had a small mustache. He came in and carefully read the menu of Su Ji Food Shop, and then ordered a braised rice.
He took the meal and walked to the corner, chewing it slowly. After finishing the meal, he was not in a hurry to leave, but just sat there.
It was already 1:30 in the afternoon when he arrived. By the time he finished his meal, it was already past dinner time and the customers in the store gradually dispersed. Su Miao felt a little strange and walked over to ask him if there was anything wrong.
He looked up and asked, "Little girl, who is your boss?"
Su Miao pointed at his father and said, "My father is the owner of the store. If you have any questions, you can talk to me."
"Oh, so you're the boss. Could you introduce me to your father? I have something I want to discuss with him."
Su Miao went over and his father said, "Dad, there's a customer over there who finished his meal and sat there for a while. He must be waiting for everyone else to leave. Now he wants to talk to you about something, so be alert."
Su Yuanzheng walked over and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
The visitor politely stood up and shook hands with Su Yuanzheng, then took out a lunch box from his bag and opened it to reveal sliced sausages.
"Boss, excuse me for interrupting you. This is sausage made in our own factory. I'd like to invite you to taste it."
The box contains the kind of sausage that is freshly stuffed and steamed, not cured sausage or smoked sausage. It is round and plump, and the slices are quite large when cut into slices.
Since they had invited him so kindly, Su Yuanzheng decided to try one.
"Hmm? Comrade, the sausages made in your factory are quite delicious."
"Haha, come on! Little girl, try it too. There are two flavors here, one is five-spice and the other is slightly spicy."
Seeing her father enjoying the food so much, Su Miao tried it too. It was really delicious, with a solid texture and just the right amount of spices. If there was a sausage shop like this near her home, she would be willing to buy it often.
However, Su Miao wanted to know the visitor's intention, was he trying to sell sausages?
"Uncle, why do you carry sausages with you? Is it a side dish?"
The visitor laughed heartily and replied, "I'm Manager Jiang from the Lai Fu Sausage Processing Factory. Our factory was established not long ago, and although everyone who has eaten it says the sausages we make are delicious, they're still not very well-known. That's why I often bring sausages to the city to look for partners."
Oh~ you are here to sell something.
"Uncle Jiang, how many people are there in your factory now?"
"We're just starting out now, so there aren't many people, maybe 4 or 5, but we'll slowly expand."
So, although it is called a sausage processing factory, it is actually only the size of a small workshop now.
Su Yuanzheng said, "Comrade, although we run a restaurant, we have our own specialties and don't sell sausages. I suggest you find a food store that specializes in prepared foods."
"I've been looking, and quite a few bosses are willing to work with us. I happened to come to your house for dinner today and saw that you didn't have sausages on the menu, so I specially recommended them to you. Boss, think about it, such delicious sausages are bound to be popular with many people. You have such a large customer base, so you can definitely add another dish!"
Wouldn't it be better to add a sausage rice dish to the menu and add some to the braised food platter to diversify the variety? Speaking of which, we're our own business, so our prices aren't high, much lower than many other shops on the market. You can just mark up the price when you bring it in and sell it, making money without any effort!
I just checked, and there aren't any sausages in the restaurants nearby. I'm just waiting for the discerning owner to take the first bite!"
What Manager Jiang said was reasonable and he even helped others think of a sales model, making it seem as if they would make a fortune as long as they purchased the goods.
Su Yuanzheng was indeed tempted. After all, he had just tasted the sausage and it was indeed very good.
However, changing the menu and purchasing ingredients are big things, and he can't decide on them now. He has to discuss it with his daughter.
"Manager Jiang, I still need to discuss this matter with my family. If we need it later, I'll come back to you."
"Okay, okay, this is our factory's phone number. Just call and place your order when the time comes."
Manager Jiang took out a piece of hard card from his bag. It looked like a business card, with Lai Fu Sausage Factory and a phone number printed on it.
Su Miao nodded. Okay, Dad has made progress and is becoming more and more like a boss. He doesn't agree immediately, nor does he completely refuse. He leaves room for thought and also gives the other party positive feedback.
The father and daughter sent Manager Jiang to the door of the store. They saw him walking slowly and then went into Huang Ji, which was diagonally opposite. It seemed that he had come to the city specifically for promotion.
