Chapter 251
With the uncle's trial, everyone else also gained confidence. Those who had eaten shredded papaya bought it one after another. Those who had never eaten it went to the side dish table to try it under Su Miao's guidance, and then bought it happily.
When the uncle who tried the first one wanted to buy another can, Su Miao persuaded him: "Uncle, the shelf life of our shredded papaya is three months. If you buy too much at once and can't finish it, it will be a waste. You see, our promotion is long-term and the promotion period is two years!
Why not buy it after you finish eating? As long as you collect them within the promotion period, you can redeem your prize at any time."
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense. After all, the probability of collecting 17 cards at once was very low. The merchant couldn't be so stupid as to release all the places in one day. Aren't they afraid that everyone would put in a large order to compete for the prize?
It seems that I still have to take it slow, finish one can and then buy another. The styles of cards in different time periods will definitely be different!
Diners who thought they had mastered the card collection code stopped going all-in and started buying one or two cans at a time.
Some even set a goal for themselves to buy a can every week, and give the leftovers to their parents and parents-in-law.
There are seven days in a week, 52 weeks in a year, and 104 weeks in two years. The cost is only 104 yuan, and there are delicious foods. He doesn't believe that he can't claim the prize if he persists in drawing for two years!
The customers were full of confidence, but they forgot that what they bought was not as good as what they sold. They didn't expect that the 60 rare cards were still firmly in Su Miao's hands!
During the evening inventory, Su Hui excitedly said, "Miao Miao! We sold 110 bottles today! Almost twice as many as usual. Luckily, we rushed to stock up, otherwise we wouldn't have enough to sell tomorrow."
"Sister Hui, this is just the beginning. Today, many people still don't understand the rules and are waiting to see what's going on. There are also some customers who haven't come to the store yet and haven't been able to participate. More and more people will come to buy in the future.
Especially after seeing some people actually claim their prizes, they'll be even more eager! We'll then publish a large newspaper with the list of winners and dates posted in front of the store every day to prove our authenticity."
"Okay, tomorrow we'll have a new batch of shredded papaya ready to go for seasoning. We'll probably have about 400 bottles this time."
"I'll take a day off tomorrow to work with you on the seasoning."
Su Hui disagreed and said, "How can this be possible! School is more important. I can ask Brother Yu to help me during his break."
Su Miao said confidently, "It's okay, Sister Hui. Have you forgotten that I'm going to skip a grade? I've already learned all the knowledge ahead of time. When I go to school, I'll just read at my own pace. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."
Seeing that she had her own plan, Su Hui stopped trying to stop her and said, "Okay, but you must remember not to let it affect your studies! Now that we have two aunts joining us, our production speed is much higher than before. But there is a problem. The drying area in our yard is not very big. It can meet our needs now, but there are some limitations if we want to increase it further."
Su Miao thought for a moment and said, "We only have three layers of drying racks now, and there's a lot of vertical space that's not being used. I'll ask my dad to add two more layers to those racks when he has time, so we can dry half as much food. But that will require us to change the dustpan more frequently."
If necessary, we can also use a baking room to speed up the drying of papaya shreds.
Once things settle down, we'll see if there are any nearby houses selling yards. You can't lose money buying a house in this neighborhood anyway. Think of it as a real estate investment, and you can also increase your workshop space."
As Su Miao expected, the news of this exciting card collection activity spread quickly. Some customers who had never patronized Su Ji also came to take a look out of curiosity and tried to buy a bottle of papaya shreds.
When these new customers came in and smelled the delicious food, they sat down to eat with the mentality that since they were already here, and after eating, they became regular customers.
After a week, more and more small merchants came to wholesale. Different from the previous wholesale sales to restaurants, this time it was basically small stores that came to buy bulk goods.
"Young boss, Nancheng is so big. Even if those customers who live on the other side want to buy, they don't have time to take the bus for more than an hour to come here. But if you sell it to us at the wholesale price, we can take it back and buy it. Isn't it a win-win situation for both parties?"
"Uncle, we are currently selling at a unified factory price in our store. We are not considering setting a wholesale price at this stage. If you really want to sell, why not buy it at this price? I believe that even if you add a dime to the price, there will still be customers who will buy it."
"Hey, you're quite business-minded, girl. You said you're not considering it right now, but you mean you can consider it later, right?"
"We certainly don't rule out any possibility."
Su Miao thought: Why not set a wholesale price? Do I have to tell you loudly that it's because production can't keep up?
Now if we sell at retail price, every batch can be sold out, so why bother with wholesale price? It’s just against money!
Let's wait and see, I'll talk about it when I buy a new yard. I'm already very satisfied with the current price and sales volume, so I'll take it easy.
Su Miao's previous statement that he would not follow the hunger marketing route was completely shattered by his own strength, and he was hit in the face so hard that it hurt.
Now the daily limit of papaya shreds is 200 bottles, and they can basically be sold out before closing.
In order to speed up work efficiency, Su Miao bought two semi-manual grinders to grind chili peppers and garlic.
It is just an iron lump. Put it on the table or chair, tighten it with the screws that come with it, and then you can use it.
There is a funnel on top to feed the ingredients in, and you turn the handle with your hand like a movie player, and the gears inside will crush the chili peppers and garlic and drop them into the basin below.
This kind of blender is definitely not as good as an electric one, but it saves time and effort than chopping it by hand. Basically, Su Miao and Su Hui can finish seasoning the papaya shreds in half a day.
While they were doing the seasoning work in the morning, the two aunts could also speed up the process of cutting a new batch of papaya shreds and hanging them out to dry, so that they could work together to can the papaya shreds in the afternoon, thus shortening the production process by another day.
Half a month later, Su Miao put the first rare card, the "Great Sage Card", on the market. She planned to release one card every half a month starting from today, alternating between the "Tiger Card" and the "Great Sage Card". As for which lucky person can collect all of them and when, it depends on his luck and hard work.
However, Su Miao still underestimated everyone's eagerness to claim their prizes. Before she could throw out the first "Tiger Card", someone came to claim the prize with a complete set of Journey to the West cards!
