"Auntie, this is really not expensive at all!" The supermarket clerk in charge of selling chickens at the fresh food counter explained.
"It's not expensive, 18 yuan per pound! Why would you sell chicken at that price?"
Jiang Yuzhu secretly observed, feeling overjoyed, and even secretly looking forward to it——
Argue, argue, argue!
Jiang Yuzhu even thought of a line for the waiter:
"What's so expensive about it? It's been this price for so many years. Don't say anything nonsense with your eyes open... Sometimes you should look for the reasons yourself. Has your salary increased over the years? Have you worked hard?"
Regarding the price of 18 yuan per pound of live chicken, although Jiang Yuzhu has never bought vegetables, he feels that it should still be very expensive.
Because she knows that many people only earn a few hundred yuan a month. If you convert it down, a day's salary is not enough to buy half a chicken, so the price must be expensive.
But the supermarket clerk immediately gave a reasonable explanation: "Auntie, this is our western Yunnan specialty, a mountain-running castrated hen that is a tribute to the royal family. It is not an ordinary chicken. The price of 18 yuan per catty is indeed expensive, but it is in line with its price!"
"We have free-range chickens here, and they only cost 8 yuan per pound. If you don't mind, you can buy this kind. In terms of taste, there is definitely a difference between them, but not as big as you might imagine!"
"If you still think it's expensive, you can buy this kind of factory-raised three-yellow chicken, which is ready for meat after 65 days, for only 5 yuan per pound. It actually tastes pretty good!"
"Who would buy factory-farmed ones? They have eight wings! Eight chicken feet! You can't eat them!" The old lady immediately started spreading rumors.
The supermarket clerk was helpless and could only say: "Then you should buy free-range chickens from farmers!"
"I think this 18 dollar bill and the 8 dollar bill look almost the same! Girl, let me discuss something with you. How about you sell me this 18 dollar bill as an 8 dollar bill? If we don't tell anyone, no one else will know!"
“……”Supermarket clerk.
You old bitch, just stop it!
"What!"
Jiang Yuzhu looked away with a lack of interest. Although she had no good feelings towards the fresh food supermarket, she also declined to see some unreasonable and unreasonable "bad customers".
I thought I found the weakness, but it turned out to be like this. How boring!
"Give me a 18-pound chicken!"
Jiang Yuzhu decided to try it carefully to see what was so special about this 18-pound chicken. If it was just in name only, it could be considered as a weakness that could be attacked!
"Okay, my dear guest! Do you want to take it away or enjoy it at the food store next door?"
"Is there any difference?" Jiang Yuzhu asked.
"If you want to take it away, you can take it alive, which is more fresh. If you want to cook it when you go back, we can prepare it for you on the spot; similarly, if you want to enjoy it in a gourmet restaurant, it will also be prepared on the spot!"
“For gourmet restaurants!”
"Okay! Please take the check and go to the slaughter area. Please note that once the meat is slaughtered, it cannot be returned except for quality issues."
"Okay, I know!"
The service was quite attentive!
Jiang Yuzhu snorted inwardly and took a small basket. The hen was tied up and placed in the basket, with a paper bag on its head. It looked like a prisoner about to be executed. How pitiful! Jiang Yuzhu thought with sympathy in his heart.
Jiang Yuzhu decided to buy some side dishes, that chicken soup with chicken mushrooms, right… and buy some more chicken mushrooms! Jiang Yuzhu quickly came to the place where chicken mushrooms were sold, and then——
"50 yuan per pound!?"
The well-informed young lady also screamed at this time.
A nearby boss saw that Jiang Yuzhu was cute and dressed like a rich girl, but she was making a fuss about the price of the mushroom. He found it very interesting and couldn't help saying:
"What's that? He still has truffles and matsutake mushrooms that cost hundreds of dollars a pound!"
"Are there any that cost several hundred per pound?" Jiang Yuzhu widened his eyes.
"Of course!"
By the way, the boss had heard about the "Budo Mushroom" incident, so he decided to support Kung Fu Master Xu and came to ask. Although these two fresh products are not displayed in the supermarket, they are actually transferred through here, so the goods are available.
The boss originally said that it was just a Budo mushroom...but when he heard the price, he fell silent.
It’s ridiculous that it’s so expensive!
Chairman Xiao Xu was helpless about this. He wanted to make money from foreigners. Even if you asked for it, I couldn't say I would sell it to you at a low price. His Budo mushrooms were not difficult to sell. He could earn more by sending them abroad than by selling them here. If he didn't make money, he would be a fool.
"Little girl, you don't understand at first glance. Good mushrooms are very expensive. The chicken mushrooms here are obviously wild and of such good quality. 50 yuan per pound is really not expensive... Eh? Where are the people?"
The boss wanted to show off to Jiang Yuzhu, but he didn't expect that the latter had already bought it and left.
When she arrived at the checkout counter to pay the bill, a chicken and some chicken mushrooms cost Miss Jiang more than 100 yuan.
Where is the cheap route!
What a bargain!
Jiang Yuzhu remembered that her father always said that Xu Shang used cheap and affordable business methods to seize customers and squeeze them to death. In their hearts, they had already labeled Tianya Food Store as "shoddy" and cheap.
Today, I saw that——
Black heart!
So heartless!
It’s darker than the ones I sell at home... ahem!
Dad, Dad, he has fallen into Xu Shang's trap. That guy is obviously the one who is doing Ming Xiu... Secret Cultivation or something. Never mind. He has no good intentions anyway!
"Can you please help me deal with the chicken? Is there a charge?" Jiang Yuzhu handed the poor chicken to the slaughterhouse, and was a little disappointed when she got the answer "free". She thought Xu Shang would be even more cruel.
Next, we came to the kitchen, where fees were charged.
The price... made Jiang Yuzhu feel complicated.
Starting at one yuan, the processing fee for ingredients is determined by the price of the ingredients, ranging from 100% at the highest to 10% at the lowest. Jiang Yuzhu's chicken soup with pine mushrooms was charged a processing fee of 14%.
Why does it feel so conscientious?
Only 14% processing fee?
Take a closer look at the processing fee standard. If you calculate it based on the lowest price, for example, if you buy a potato and fry a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, the processing fee is only one yuan, and the ingredients for a plate of potato shreds only need a 200g potato. The price of potatoes here is only 0.8 yuan/500g.
In other words, you can cook a dish with just 0.32 cents worth of ingredients and 1 yuan in processing fees!
This is too kind...it's not right!
Jiang Yuzhu came back to her senses. She had clearly spent more than a hundred yuan on a dish of chicken stewed with chicken mushrooms. How could it be cheap? Why did she still think this restaurant was so conscientious?
Why is this happening?
Why do you have such a strange idea?
Why do I spend so much money but still feel like I made a profit?
People of this era don’t know the term PUA yet, otherwise Jiang Yuzhu would definitely think that she was being PUA’d by this store!
She finally understood how her father felt when facing the business war with Xu Shang.
too!
So scary!
