Gao Wei is also a quick-witted person. He had already had an idea in his mind. Now that he got his wife's support, he immediately started to prepare.
The most important thing, of course, is the raw materials. Braised food requires quite a bit of stuff. I immediately contacted a fellow villager I'd worked with before and ordered ten pounds of meat, a few chickens and ducks, and some pig offal. For the vegetarians, I went to a tofu maker and ordered some dried tofu and tofu skin.
He didn't prepare much, and at the beginning he planned to test the waters first. If it sold well, he would add more later. If it didn't sell well, his own people could digest it and it wouldn't be wasted.
I had a plan in mind, and everything was ready in just two or three days.
On Thursday morning, the overbearing aroma of braised food wafted through the Gao family's air again.
This time, both adults and children could no longer bear it.
Someone shamelessly came to ask Gao Wei, and he was stunned at first, then he was happy.
Business comes to me before I even leave the house.
Nowadays, more and more people are running small businesses. Those living nearby are all locals, and their families have more or less people who went to the countryside as educated youth.
After sneaking back home, they had no jobs and could only make some things to sell. Those who had skills would simply set up small stalls.
The sesame pancake stand Li Yuying mentioned was owned by a nearby educated youth who had returned to his hometown and his wife. The neighbors, all elders who had watched him grow up, were somewhat relieved to see him earn a living. In the beginning, they all went to support him.
So when Gao Wei said that these braised foods were for sale, the neighbors who came to visit were not surprised, but rather a little pleasantly surprised.
If it sells well, they will just buy it. If it is homemade, they really don't have the nerve to come to the door every day to ask for it.
The people living nearby are all from well-off families and are willing to spend some money to buy some delicious food.
Gao Wei was also very considerate and immediately took out a piece of braised dried meat and said, "Try it first. If you think it's okay, then buy it. If you don't like it, that's fine too."
The visitor felt a little more satisfied with his open attitude and decided to buy some to support his business as long as the food tasted good.
After eating a piece of braised dried meat, the visitor's eyes lit up.
So delicious!
"Give me a pound of braised dried shrimp! What else do you have besides this?"
"The vegetarian options include kelp and bean curd skin, and the meat options include braised pork, braised chicken, braised pork intestines, and pig's trotters. We just opened today, so we don't have much prepared, but it will be more abundant in the future," Gao Wei replied.
The visitor asked about the price and nodded secretly. It wasn't expensive. After all, it had so many spices in it and it would have consumed a lot of firewood. This price was very fair.
Although I can make it at home, the taste can’t compare to others!
"Okay, I want half a pound of braised pork, a pig's trotter, and a pound of dried tofu." After the man said this, he turned around and went back to get a big bowl and paid.
Gao Wei put all the things he had chosen in the pot and poured a large spoonful of broth over it. This thing was especially delicious whether mixed with rice or noodles.
Seeing his action, the visitor felt even more satisfied.
He is an honest young man and we are willing to do more business with him in the future.
People who buy things tend to have a better impression of generous bosses. A spoonful of broth can bring a repeat customer and a good reputation among diners.
Two words: good value!
Perhaps it was because of the publicity, after the first neighbor left, several more people came one after another. After trying the food, they all bought something, without exception.
Seeing that almost half of the braised food was gone, Gao Wei felt a little regretful. If he had known, he should have prepared more.
The remaining ones are not enough to sell.
But it’s too late to regret now. It’s too late to stew it again. After all, stewing is not enough just by stewing. It needs to be soaked for a while so that it can be flavorful.
Gao Wei could only take the remaining braised food and set up a stall at the back door of Peking University.
The wider it is spread, the better the business will be in the future.
The friends in dormitory 301 knew early in the morning that Gao Wei was coming to set up a stall today. After class, they rarely ran to the library. They put down their books and went to the back door to help.
"Are we too late? Why are there only so few things left?" Zhao Yueling was dumbfounded.
Gao Wei smiled bitterly and explained the matter again.
"This is good news! It means that the things my brother-in-law makes will never have trouble selling, and his business will definitely be good in the future!" Wei Ye clapped his hands.
Ge Mei scratched his head. "But what should we do today? There's only so much left, not enough for a few people to buy. If this happens, won't we be able to promote it?"
Only when more people eat there will there be more repeat customers.
It's not cost-effective to travel all the way just to do business with a dozen people.
"It's okay, we can just limit the purchase. Cut the meat into 200g pieces, each person can only buy one piece, each person can only buy half a pig's trotter, and half a pound of vegetables..." Jianshu quickly gave a solution.
What if you don’t have enough stuff? Purchase limits!
“Good idea!”
Others agreed.
Gao Wei quickly cut the braised meat into pieces of equal size.
Inspired by the food tasting he had given to his neighbors before, he picked out some cheap vegetarian dishes and cut them into small pieces, ready to let the guests taste them later.
With so many people trying the food, even those who didn't buy it will definitely remember him. If he prepares more tomorrow, there will definitely be a lot of people buying it.
Gao Wei learned hunger marketing without any guidance.
It was soon time for dinner, and a group of college students who came out to have a bite to eat quickly swarmed out of the back door.
Gao Wei lit the stove in advance. At this time, the broth was boiling in the pot and the aroma wafted far away.
Soon everyone followed the smell and came over.
I saw a newly opened braised food stall and was interested, but also a little hesitant.
Who knows what it tastes like if you haven't tasted it?
Everyone is waiting for the first person to eat crabs.
Upon seeing this, Li Yuying immediately picked up the tasting plate and walked over with a smile.
"Classmate, you can try our braised food for free. If you are satisfied, you can buy it. If you are not satisfied, you don't have to buy it."
"Free?" The others were shocked. Is there any free service? Wouldn't that make the boss a huge loser?
"Yes, it's free!" Li Yuying nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll try!"
"I'll try it too. If it tastes good, I'll buy some."
“…”
Everyone was excited and gathered around.
Seeing this, Jianshu and others went up to help, and soon everyone present chose something to try.
“This dried fruit is delicious!”
"I ate kelp, and it tasted good too!"
“Tofu skin is delicious too!”
Gao Wei's craftsmanship was really good, and he quickly won the favor of most people, who paid for his products.
Most of the people buy food they have already tasted, but there are also some people from well-off families who are very interested in braised pork and pig's trotters that they have never tried before.
After all, they are all braised in the same pot. If the vegetables are so delicious, the meat must taste pretty good too.
