Chapter 17 Competitors

After Liang Lixia and Lu Yunpei's breakfast stall had been set up for a few days, they gradually had a group of regular customers - housewives.

After all, it’s okay to eat porridge all day in summer. The porridge they sell is delicious and affordable, and even the children in the family who don’t like to eat are willing to drink more porridge, so after eating it a few times, they will buy it again. , They all bring their own soup bowls or thermoses.

More than half of the porridge was snatched away by these mothers or grandmas, and then it was like a living signboard, attracting other passers-by to stop by it, and couldn't help buying a few copies.

Good business is good, but there are so many breakfast sellers in this area, it is inevitable that they will not be jealous.

This day, the two arrived at the old place at seven o'clock as usual, and when they were ready to start working, they discovered something was wrong in the whispered reminder from the stall owner.

Just across from their booth, there was a new cart with a new banner hanging on the ceiling, with two simple words on it - porridge stall.

The owner of the pushcart is a middle-aged young couple. They came earlier, and there were already a few guests at this time. Seeing Liang Lixia and Lu Yunpei looking over, the man turned his eyes away a little bit, but the woman didn't care. , just ignore it.

The aunt who sold sesame seed cakes on the side clicked her tongue: "I went to see it, and they also sell the four kinds of porridge just like you, but the price is a few cents cheaper than yours!"

A few cents is money, since it is the same porridge, most of them will choose the cheaper one.

"Thank you aunt, it's okay, they sell theirs, it doesn't hinder us." Sure enough, no matter when or where, this kind of imitation is indispensable, this kind of direct competition is still on the opposite side, it can only be said that the character is really not very good.

Liang Lixia didn't care, he stirred the porridge that was about to be cooked as usual, then covered the coal stove, and let Yu Wen complete the next work.

The aunt thought she was just being brave, and sighed again: "It's not easy to come out to make money at such a young age, and the two of them are really... Hey, why don't you sell them for the same price, I still smell your porridge If it is more fragrant, it will definitely sell better than them!"

Hearing that Lu Yunpei also looked at Liang Lixia worriedly, "Lixia, how is it? Do you want to lower the price too?"

The price they set is only slightly higher than the cost, and it seems that they earn a lot in a day, but after deducting the cost and calculating the profit separately, they know that it is really just a small business.

If the plan is long-term, the price must not be lowered.

Liang Lixia shook his head lightly: "No need, isn't it open yet? It's not too late to have a look first."

I didn't expect her to be so obstinate, and the aunt didn't intend to take care of it anymore, but she couldn't help but said: "Then you must not be able to sell it all. In the end, it will be a waste and you won't make any money! Forget it, it's about you young people. Ah, I can't help it!"

"Thank you aunt for your concern." Liang Lixia watched helplessly as the aunt returned to her booth, then patted Lu Yunpei's hand and gave her a comforting look.

After all, it has been fixed for a few days, and the old customers went straight to them as soon as they came, and they quickly ordered a few porridges and paid for it, only to find the porridge stand opposite.

"Eh? There are more congee sellers?"

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she stepped forward to watch the excitement, pretended to ask the price casually, and then acted surprised: "Hey, boss, why are you selling it so cheap? Will you lose money? Or is it not enough, This porridge seems a bit watery, how does it taste?"

If the voice of a middle-aged woman is a major feature, this guest has completely brought it to the extreme.

These seemingly random questions seemed to be asked at the top of their voices, and all the stall owners and passers-by in a radius of [-] meters couldn't help but look over.

The man blushed at that time, and was dragged behind by the woman who spat, "It's a very simple porridge. It's strange that it's expensive. You're interesting, and you don't like it cheap. You have to buy the expensive one." of!"

"Yo, you are so loud, I insist on saying that cheap is not good. Besides, who said that cooking porridge is easy? If it is the kind of rice and water, I will not say it. What! But people cook it with bone broth. The ratio of soup and rice, the heat, and the ingredients are all very particular! Everyone will go out to buy porridge to eat, isn’t it just for convenience, and they do it at home A pot of porridge is troublesome, but you may not be able to finish it, everyone said, right!?"

"that is!"

"Yes!"

"Is it porridge that is boiled directly with water?"

There were too many booing people, and the woman knew that she had said the wrong thing, so her tone softened: "Sister, we are just a small business, if the porridge is not good, why don't you come to me?"

She showed weakness, and if she said anything else, it would become bullying. The guest snorted, then turned back and said, "Don't worry, they won't last long."

This is what is really good for them, Liang Lixia hid the dumbfounding just now, and said gratefully: "Thank you, auntie."

"It's okay, as long as you stick to it, my son likes to eat your preserved egg and lean meat porridge. No, he woke up early in the morning and asked me to buy it!"

After she finished speaking, she just remembered that there was a time when she came out, and hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them, and rushed to send the porridge home.

And this trouble, the business of the porridge stall opposite is obviously not so good, even if it is a few cents cheaper, but smelling the fragrance, the customers still turn to patronize them.

The aunt who sold sesame seed cakes obviously didn't expect this to happen. Seeing that the two of them were still selling briskly, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Lu Yunpei didn't expect the change to be so fast. She thought it might be like this, and all the business would be snatched by the other side. If they didn't lower the price, they would probably have more than half of them left when the surrounding breakfast stalls were all gone.

As usual, I was busy for more than an hour, and the porridge was sold out very smoothly.

She just took the time to look at Liang Lixia in disbelief and said, "There is really no need to lower the price! Lixia, I really admire you!"

Liang Lixia jokingly knocked her on the head, "Silly girl, being cheap these days doesn't mean you can sell well. In terms of food, as long as it tastes good, you don't have to worry about anything at all."

"Oh," Lu Yunpei suddenly realized, "I see, they sell so cheap, they must know that they are not as good as us!"

This understanding... Liang Lixia Fu forehead, let's just say that.

After packing up his things, Liang Lixia took another special look at the opposite side, seeing that there should be a lot of posture left, the faces of the two people were not very good-looking, the man was squatting on the side smoking in depression, and the woman vented all her anger on him On his body, he kept poking his back and muttering.

How many days?The customer really overestimated them, probably won't see the new porridge stall tomorrow.

After all, it is not easy to cook porridge with the same taste as them. What the guests said is second, and the most important thing is of course the clear spring water in the space.

Without that, their porridge is just ordinary home-cooked porridge, and it will still get boring if you eat too much.
