Chapter 200 Selling "Services" (Fat Chapter)
Hu Manyue was pointing at a group of huge mushroom houses. The big one had a small protruding window under the top canopy, while the small one had a round door.
The top of the house is red, decorated with scattered white spots. The mushroom stem is the main body of the house, fat and round, and only slightly smaller in width than the roof.
The whole mushroom house looks fat and cute, as if it came out of a fairy tale world.
Hu Manyue said: "The others are pointed and look small and thin, but this one is better looking, it's round, and looks very similar to the houses in our Hu's Village!"
"Yes! It's red on top! The same color as my fur!"
"As fat as my eldest sister!"
"That's right!"
The Jade Emperor took one look and said, "It turns out to be a mushroom house! It's quite suitable!"
After hearing what the Jade Emperor said, the little foxes asked questions out of curiosity.
"Mushroom house? Is it made of mushrooms?"
“Can mushrooms be used to build houses?”
“Is it edible?”
"Hey? A house that smells like mushrooms?"
Zhao Qing patiently explained: "A mushroom house is a house that looks like a mushroom!"
A little fox shook his head and gestured with his paws, saying, "But this doesn't look like a mushroom at all! Mushrooms have very big tops and very thin stems!"
Hu Manyue patted the blueprint and said, "It does look a bit like it! Look, it has a top and a pole!"
"Just a little fatter!"
"That's right!"
Seeing that everyone agreed with her, Hu Manyue nodded with satisfaction: "Anyway! This is it!"
The Jade Emperor said confidently: "No problem! We can build the house in three to five days at most!"
Zhao Qing pulled the sleeve of the Jade Emperor and asked in a low voice: "This place is close to Cuckoo Chicken Sheyi. Shall we take the foxes to eat 'Kaifeng cuisine' later?"
Before the Jade Emperor could speak, the sharp-eared little foxes heard what Zhao Qing said and started shouting out of curiosity:
"Hey? What is 'Kaifengcai'?"
“Are all the Cuckoo Chickens in the Cuckoo Chicken Village?”
“What kind of chicken is Cuckoo Chicken?”
Zhao Qing explained awkwardly: "This 'Kaifeng cuisine' is, uh... a whole chicken feast! All kinds of delicious food made with chicken!"
Hu Manyue jumped for joy at first, but then became troubled: "Great! But how much does Kaifeng Cuisine cost? We need to be frugal. Aunt Zijun only gave us 500 spirit stones..."
Zhao Qing said hurriedly, "It's not expensive. Even if you eat as much as you want, it probably won't cost you a single spirit stone! And this meal is our treat! After all, this is your first time in our Taiyin Sect, how can we let you spend money! And you treated me several times in Chiyuan Cave!"
The Jade Emperor also agreed, "That's right! Even if I treat you guys to meals every day, it won't cost much!"
"Great! I can eat chicken every day!"
Hu Manyue cheered at first, then complained: "Although there are many chickens in Chiyuan Cave, you have to catch them yourself!"
A fox exposed Hu Manyue's past: "But sister, you always steal the chicken roasted by Aunt Zijun!"
Hu Manyue groaned and argued: "She can't eat it anyway..."
Another fox said, "That's because Aunt Zijun knew you would steal, so she roasted an extra one!"
Hu Manyue pressed her ears back and shook her big red, furry tail guiltily. Then she immediately changed the subject and said to Zhao Qing and the Jade Emperor, "Hey, fellow Taoist! Why don't we go eat that 'Kaifeng dish' now!"
Zhao Qing had an auntie smile on her face, her eyes almost curved into crescents. Upon hearing this, she pointed in a direction and said as she led the way, "No problem! It's over there. I've already said hello to the president of Gugu Chicken. Let's just go over there!"
This time, since the distance was not far, everyone did not use magic or spiritual weapons, but walked normally.
The little foxes jumped and chattered, "This place is a mess, we need to clean it up later!"
“Plant fruit trees, tall fruit trees, and short fruit trees!”
"Do you want to plant spiritual herbs?"
"We don't need spiritual herbs here, do we? And you don't know how to grow them, do you?"
"I can't, but the foxes in Wild Fox Plain can! We can ask them to plant it!"
"But it's useless! Why do you grow spiritual herbs?"
"How can it be useless? It's you who is useless! Ying! I'll bite you to death!"
“I’ll bite you to death!”
"You two are not allowed to fight! You are not allowed to quarrel! Otherwise, I will tell Aunt Zijun to send you two back!"
"In fact, spiritual herbs can be sold for money, right? With the money, we can buy chickens to eat!"
“Aren’t we opening a store to make money?”
"Hey? Are we going to sell spiritual herbs in the store?"
"No, no! I'm selling foxes in the store!"
"Scare! Selling a fox? Don't sell me!"
"Oh! Don't listen to Nineteenth Brother's nonsense! He's selling out!"
"No, no! I'm selling tea!"
"The tea you brew is so bitter! How can any demon like to drink it! It can't be sold at all!"
"It's not for you to drink! It's for the humans! Maybe the humans just like the bitter taste!"
"It's selling fur! I clearly remember that as long as we let the human race touch our fur, we can get money! Fellow Daoist, do you think we should sell fur?"
As the foxes were talking, they were about to start quarreling. One of the foxes whose white fur on its chest happened to be in the shape of a heart excitedly scratched the hem of Zhao Qing's skirt, as if trying to get Zhao Qing's approval, and looked at her expectantly.
Zhao Qing looked at the fox with a face full of expectation, then looked at the remaining cute little foxes, and said awkwardly: "Uh, actually...actually, what you said is almost right! It is indeed selling tea, and it is indeed selling fox fur, but it is not what you think. To be precise, it is selling 'services'!"
A group of little foxes heard this word for the first time and repeated it like parrots: "Service?"
"Strictly speaking, all restaurants, eateries, and food stores like milk tea shops are selling 'services'! The so-called selling 'services' means satisfying the needs of customers - of course, not all needs can be satisfied. Some unreasonable demands not only do not need to be satisfied, but can also be rejected!"
The foxes were surprised and said in unison: "Kill them?"
"Yes, for example," the Jade Emperor said, with an obscene expression, hehe, laughed a few times, pinched his throat and said: "Hehehe, little fox, come home with me, and I will buy you a chicken to eat!"
Then, he returned to his normal voice and explained, "For requests like this that are disgusting and shameless and make you very unhappy, you can just call them out!"
All the foxes shook their ears: "Ah! It's really disgusting!"
"It's so scary!"
"I really want to spit out a mouthful of fox fire!"
Hu Manyue asked: "So our store also sells 'services'?"
"That's right! To put it simply, if customers come into the store and buy some food and drinks, they can touch your fur. Compared to other stores that also sell food and drinks, you can provide an extra 'service', which is to touch the fox fur! In this way, everyone will be willing to come!"
"But, will it make you bald?"
"You shed your fur every spring anyway, so why be afraid?"
"Being bald is ugly!"
"You can use magic to conjure up Maomao!"
"Fellow Daoist said before that the hair created by magic is not good! The human race doesn't like it!"
"Well, well, well..."
"Well, it's okay. If you don't want to be touched, you can refuse! Anyway, the store sells food and drinks. You are just 'friendly' providing the 'service' of touching the fox fur, but you don't set a price for touching it once!" The Jade Emperor began to teach black-hearted businessmen tricks, "What they paid for was food and drinks. Once they got the food and drinks, the payment has been made. Even if you don't provide the service of touching the fox fur, it's not considered cheating the customers. So it's up to you to decide whether to let the customers touch it or not!"
The youngest fox felt something was wrong, but after listening to the Jade Emperor's words, he felt that it made sense. He hesitated and whispered, "Isn't this a bad idea?"
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with that? At most, you can put up a sign at the door of the store saying 'Whether or not to provide fur-patting service depends on the store clerk's mood'. Isn't that perfect? And this way of doing business is called 'hunger marketing'. Then people will flock to your store even more!"
"Why is that?"
Seeing the puzzled eyes of the little foxes, the Jade Emperor immediately spoke incessantly, "Because of comparison! Look, you bought a cup of tea, and I bought a cup of tea, but I touched the fur, and you didn't. Don't you feel superior? You see, I am better than you! I am more liked by foxes than you! Then the other person was not convinced, and thought, why can you touch it and I can't? I spend more money and I don't believe that I still can't touch it. So he spent several times more money to buy a bunch of things. At this time, people bought so many things from you, you are embarrassed to not even meet the customer's small request to touch the fur, right? Then he touched it, right?
"Look, the first customer who touched the fur gained a sense of superiority, and the later customers who spent more money got to touch the fur, and you made money, it's a win-win situation! The first type of customer is called the European emperor! The customer who spent more money is called the krypton man! The latter sales service model is called matching goods! There are a lot of details in this! It's all marketing knowledge!"
These words sounded very logical and natural, and the foxes nodded frequently and exclaimed in amazement, greatly admiring the Jade Emperor.
Only Zhao Qing, who was standing by, twitched her lips and couldn't help but chatted privately: "This is outrageous, Great Emperor, you shouldn't be here, you should be hanging on the street lamp!"
