Chapter 72 WPG0072: The troubles Xia Yuqing and her daughter encountered

An Wuyang chatted with Xia Yuqing for a few more words before ending the call. Then he got up from the sofa and prepared to go to Zhuyuyuan.

Before going out, An Wuyang sent a message to An Huchun and Li Wenya, asking if they would go home for dinner.

As a result, An Huchun said he had to work overtime, and Li Wenya also said that she had received a difficult case that needed to be dealt with. An Wuyang took the car keys and went out.

Almost half an hour later, An Wuyang finally arrived at Zhuyuyuan.

Damn the traffic jam during the evening rush hour!

An Wuyang found a temporary parking space on the side of the road and quickly parked his car. It was not easy to find a parking space during the evening rush hour, so he was considered lucky.

An Wuyang got out of the car. He looked at the picture message sent by Xia Yuqing, and then went to find the place according to the picture.

In less than two minutes, An Wuyang saw Xia Yuqing.

Xia Yuqing and Lin Xin were both wearing floral aprons. They worked together. Xia Yuqing was responsible for weighing, collecting money and packaging, while Lin Xin was responsible for changing knives and cutting, mixing seasonings, and asking customers about their tastes.

When An Wuyang arrived, there was a young man who was choosing, but he was choosing very slowly and kept looking at Xia Yuqing.

Is this a case of the old man drinking away his real intention?
As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly, and An Wuyang is a bystander.

After about two or three minutes, the young man finally put down the stainless steel food tongs.

An Wuyang discovered a new blind spot, that is, the young man selected very few dishes, only some cowpeas, cauliflower, lotus root slices, and potato chips.

An Wuyang secretly put an end to the other party, and this person's heart was like a desert!
To put it bluntly, if you don’t have money, don’t even think about flirting with beautiful women, because you really don’t deserve them if you don’t have money.

Some people may say that love and money should not be linked, otherwise it would be materialism.

But if money can be demonized, does beauty have to be sanctified?
Only toads are allowed to eat swans, and golden toads are not allowed to participate?

An Wuyang shook his head slightly, throwing away these thoughts that were not conducive to unity. He took the initiative to greet, "Xia classmate, auntie, hello."

When Xia Yuqing heard An Wuyang's voice, she immediately responded happily, "You're really here!"

Lin Xin looked at An Wuyang hesitantly.

An Wuyang nodded slightly, "Didn't I tell you that I don't know what to eat tonight, so I came over to take a look."

"Auntie, I'm going to buy something later, you have to give me a discount!" An Wuyang said shamelessly on purpose, actually to break the deadlock and create a harmonious atmosphere for both parties.

Lin Xin felt a little relieved and said, "Okay, take a look at what you want to eat. Auntie will treat you today."

"Wow!" An Wuyang laughed evilly, "Auntie, please treat me! Then I won't be polite!"

"Student Xia, could you please help introduce these dishes and tell us how much they cost?" An Wuyang asked.

Xia Yuqing pointed to a small sign on the long table and said, "All vegetarian dishes are 30 yuan per catty, braised pig ears and pig tails are 80 yuan per catty, braised beef tendons are 120 yuan per catty, and braised chicken legs are 15 yuan each."

this price
A bit expensive!
Do not!
To be exact, this price is very expensive!

Although An Wuyang didn't buy vegetables often, he had basic common sense and knew that vegetarian dishes were cheap. For example, the potato chips, lotus root slices, and bamboo shoots at Lin Xin's stall should be very cheap when purchased at the vegetable market.

For example, the price of potatoes will not exceed 3 yuan per catty at most; the price of green bamboo shoots, that is, lettuce heads, can even be as low as 1 yuan per catty; only the price of lotus roots may be slightly more expensive, but at most only or yuan per catty.

However, Lin Xin’s selling price for these vegetarian dishes is as high as 30 yuan per catty. Isn’t that expensive?

If you think the price of vegetarian dishes is not expensive, then take the braised chicken legs as an example. How can a braised chicken leg cost 15 yuan?

Such a price is naturally no problem for a well-known chain of braised food brands.

If it is placed in a mid- to high-end restaurant, this price is not a problem.

However, Lin Xin runs a roadside stall!

It’s not appropriate to charge this price for a roadside stall, right?

Lin Xin seemed to see what An Wuyang was thinking, so she took the initiative to ask, "Mr. An, do you think our pricing is unreasonable?"

An Wuyang nodded without hiding anything, "I do feel that way."

Xia Yuqing answered on behalf of her mother, "Student An, we use real ingredients. For example, these potatoes, we use the best fresh potatoes, not those pre-made potato chips."

There are various problems with pre-made potato chips, including unstable quality and worse taste.

"The same goes for bamboo shoots and lotus root slices. We use fresh ones and take them home to process them ourselves," Xia Yuqing added.

Doing it yourself means more human resources and time costs.

"Pig ears and tails, beef tendons, and chicken legs are all fresh or chilled goods, not the usual frozen goods," Xia Yuqing added.

"In addition, these marinated products also have the problem of shrinkage. For example, a pound of fresh beef tendon usually weighs between 7 and 8 taels after being marinated." Xia Yuqing shared these little life tips for everyone to be safe and sound.

"Our chicken legs actually make very little profit because we buy them at nearly 8 yuan each, and we have to do secondary processing, including removing the fishy smell and braising them, plus the cost of seasonings and natural gas, etc. If we sell them cheaply, we will lose money," Xia Yuqing explained quickly.

Hearing this, An Wuyang was somewhat stunned.
Because the small stall in Xia Yuqing's home actually encountered the same trouble as the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group - bad money drives out good money!
Lin Xin did choose better raw materials, but so what?

For customers who want to buy braised chicken legs, they only know that Lin Xin's braised chicken legs cost 15 yuan each, while the braised chicken legs next door only cost 6 yuan or even 5 yuan each.

Given this price gap, coupled with the consumption scenario at roadside stalls, is there any need to consider how the vast majority of customers will choose?
An Wuyang couldn't help but sigh, life is really wonderful, isn't it?

The roadside stall encountered the same trouble as the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group!
"Mr. An, do you still think our pricing is unreasonable?" Xia Yuqing asked hesitantly.

An Wuyang nodded and said, "I think it is indeed unreasonable because the consumption scenario does not match the pricing."

"Auntie." An Wuyang looked at Lin Xin, "I just recently understood a truth. When doing business, sometimes you have to be conscienceless to make money."

Lin Xin frowned. Of course she knew this.

It's just that she can't do it without conscience.
