Chapter 24 Who Fills the Hole
"Girl, the cost of food and drinks is really high." Kang Ping thought about it and said to them, "Your selling method is indeed attractive, but the people you attract don't make money. We can lose 90% today."
Before Xing Dairong traveled through time, he was a college student.
The era she lived in was a period of great entrepreneurship encouragement. At that time, shared bicycles, sharing economy, taxi platforms, and food delivery platforms emerged one after another.
Big capital is spending money like crazy, everyone is burning money, and the whole society is thriving and prosperous.
She listened to these losses and thought Kang Ping was short-sighted. "What do you know? This is called cultivating the market, creating momentum and publicity, and making our pie bigger. Who doesn't want to burn money when they just start to cultivate customers?"
Kang Ping didn't understand a word Xing Dairong was saying.
Xing Dairong continued to hold Cheng Yunshuo's arm, "Yunshuo, I am trying to seize the blank market. There will definitely be losses in the early stages, but we must realize that the market is far more important than anything else. We have occupied it first, and others who want to seize it will have to pay a higher cost."
Kang Ping: “….”
But who would be stupid enough to spend so much money to compete with her for the poor market?
Cheng Yunshuo looked at Xing Dairong so happy, even though he didn't understand, he still cooperated and laughed, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Half a month passed in a flash.
Xing Dairong's buffet is indeed becoming more and more popular.
It became so popular that everyone in the capital knew about it.
A new way of eating, ample food and low prices make Ju Fu Buffet packed with people every day.
You have to put up the closing sign around noon.
All the food that was brought in daily was consumed.
Many people come here with their teenager children before dawn to queue up for meals.
Subsequently, Xing Dairong's name became popular throughout the capital once again.
Everyone knows that Ju Fu Buffet was opened by the Prince of Ningyang for Xing Dairong.
For a while, the title of "miracle woman" was once again heard in the streets and alleys.
The storyteller even exaggerated the story of Cheng Yunshuo and Xing Dairong and made it sound like a perfect match.
Even though the aristocratic circle did not look down on Xing Dairong's background, this was indeed an eye-opener for her.
When some of Cheng Yunshuo's friends saw him, they all joked that he had married a wonderful person and a rare treasure.
Xing Dairong was really having a great time these days, and even Qiu Ling had to avoid her when she met her at home.
After Lu Lingyun finished reading today's account book in the yard, she unexpectedly received a visiting letter.
"Where are you from?"
"I came from General Wang's mansion."
Qi Luo?
Lu Lingyun was immediately delighted, "Please invite the person in!"
"yes!"
Since she got married, she has not contacted Wang Qiluo again. The first reason is that she was busy taking over the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion after marriage. The second reason is that she is now married and Wang Qiluo is still unmarried, so it is inconvenient for her to come to her house to see her as casually as before.
Upon hearing that Wang Qiluo was coming to visit, Lu Lingyun quickly asked people to clean up the yard and serve all the best snacks and drinks.
When Wang Qiluo, wearing a goose yellow gauze dress, entered her yard, Lu Lingjun walked forward excitedly.
"Qiluo!"
"Lingyun, are you doing well?"
"Very well." Lu Lingyun pulled her to sit in the small garden. "How are you and your aunt?"
"My mother has always been worried about you. She kept telling me that the rules of the mansion are very strict, and she thought your life there must be difficult." Wang Qiluo said with a straight face, "You are also very stubborn. You never tell us anything."
Lu Lingyun chuckled, "I don't have any problems. My mother-in-law is kind and the servants are obedient. I am now in charge of the family. My life is so much happier than when I was in the Lu family."
Wang Qiluo stared at her, "You are still hiding this from me. Now everyone in the streets and alleys is praising the name of Xing. They say that she and the Ningyang Marquis's son are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. I don't even know where you, the legal wife, have been thrown to!"
"This is nothing." Lu Lingyun curled her lips slightly and handed the red watermelon juice on the table to Wang Qiluo, "Have a drink."
"Oh! Isn't this the watermelon juice?" Wang Qiluo also knew about watermelon juice.
After all, few people are unfamiliar with Xing Dairong’s buffet nowadays, and several new products in her store have all set off new trends.
"It tastes pretty good. It's more interesting than eating watermelon directly before." Lu Lingyun said.
"You are so careless. That woman has already taken over your head, and you are still eating the things she invented."
"What do people outside say about her?" Lu Lingyun asked with a smile.
"She is praised as a fairy from heaven, a kind-hearted chivalrous woman, a person whose kindness shines in the world, and a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. She is praised to the point that there is nothing in heaven or on earth!" Wang Qiluo said with a roll of her eyes.
Lu Lingyun took a sip of the sweet watermelon juice and said, "That's quite apt."
"You are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. That woman is spending your family's money to gain fame for herself, and you can still tolerate it!"
"Who said that the money was from the Marquis' Mansion?" Lu Lingjun let go of the cup, his eyes full of cunning.
Wang Qiluo was surprised at this time, "If it wasn't the money from the Marquis' Mansion, who could fill such a big hole?"
"Whoever's name is spread out there gets to fill in the form." Lu Lingyun approached Wang Qiluo and whispered in her ear, "All the material money is locked."
Wang Qiluo's eyes gradually widened. After a moment of shock, she suddenly understood, "You are amazing!"
The loss of forty or fifty taels a day means more than a thousand taels in twenty days. Which family can give Xing Dairong so much money?
If the Marquis' Mansion doesn't take action, these people will definitely report it!
Whoever calls his name the loudest at that time will have to come out and pay back the money!
Wang Qiluo was completely relieved about Lu Lingyun. She drank tea with her in her courtyard for the whole afternoon, chatting about many gossips and also talked a lot about Lu Hanyi.
I heard that Lu Hanyi didn't get along very well with her sisters-in-law in the Li family during this period. Her sister-in-law was in charge of the family and had been stingy with Li Eryuan. Lu Hanyi suffered several in secret, so she reported it to her mother-in-law. The all-purpose mother-in-law was not even as good as Qin. Qin at least supported her and was generous.
Her mother-in-law was a shrewd person. She always used Tai Chi to trick her into going back, which made Lu Hanyi so angry that she felt frustrated but had no place to vent her anger.
"But Lu Hanyi didn't dare to find fault with her husband. It's strange, why didn't Lu Hanyi, who is so domineering, force her husband to argue? She even spoke softly to him and served him very well." Wang Qiluo gossiped.
Lu Lingjun smiled gently. It seemed that her sister was still eyeing next year's top scholar.
The two of them were talking in whispers until dusk fell. As an unmarried girl, Wang Qiluo felt it was inconvenient to stay in the mansion too late, so after her nanny reminded her for the third time, she stopped talking about today's topic.
Lu Lingyun made an appointment with her to go for a stroll in the street three days later, and then sent her out of the house.
When passing by the Marquis's Garden, they ran into Cheng Yunshuo and Xing Dairong, who were both in high spirits. They were accompanied by several of Cheng Yunshuo's friends.
"Prince."
Lu Lingyun stopped to salute.
Wang Qiluo, wearing a Dou-li hat, followed behind and saluted and greeted.
