Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 278
Shen Yunjin couldn't help laughing, "I don't have a bad idea, but I'm just happy. Think about it, the shop across the street has to give away so many snacks for nothing this time, and they are already losing money before they start making a profit. Then they Will they be able to persist in the future? Let me see, if they continue to toss like this, it might not last for a few days, and they will have to close the shop."

"Why did they do this? Could it be that they wanted to compete with us on purpose? Isn't this shooting themselves in the foot? Why bother?" Li Yi said that he couldn't understand what the shop opposite was doing.

"Let's just wait and see how long they can go on." Shen Yunjin stood at the door and said thoughtfully.

Due to the fact that the opposite shop was giving free snacks, many people went to get the snacks with the mentality of not taking it for nothing, so Shen Yunjin's business today is not as hot as before.

But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, even if the business is a little weaker, there are still a lot of customers, Shen Yunjin is still very satisfied.

At the end of the day, the threshold of the opposite shop was almost broken by customers.

Seeing that there were more customers in her store than in Shen Yunjin's, Luo Shi felt very proud. In the evening, she deliberately stood at the door and said loudly, "Across the street, how is the business today? There must be a lot fewer customers."

Shen Yunjin replied with a smile, "Don't worry about the amount, we are making money after all, which is much better than giving it away for nothing."

"Hmph, what do you know, we give away for free to accumulate repeat customers, this is a long-term fishing for big fish!" Luo Shi looked smug.

"Okay, then you can continue fishing. I'm afraid that if you don't catch the fish in the end, you will lose a lot of bait in vain. It will be miserable." Shen Yunjin's words were full of provocation.

Luo Shi rolled his eyes and said, "I think you just can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. Are you jealous of the many customers in our store? Why, you think you poached a corner and got Master Yan to you If we go there, will we not be able to do business?"

"If you weren't too stingy and treated Master Yan badly, how could Master Yan quit so easily? In the final analysis, Master Yan was forced to leave by you, and we can't blame us." Shen Yunjin spread her hands, pretending to be helpless.

Luo Shi snorted, and went back to his own shop, not bothering to chatter with Shen Yunjin for a while.

She has already secretly decided that this time she must succeed in one fell swoop, and take this good opportunity of "free snacks" to accumulate more customers, lay the foundation for future business, and give Shen Yunjin some flair.

In this way, Luo Shi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and gave away snacks for free for half a month. He lost a lot of money, and he was completely unable to make ends meet.

In the end, not to mention people who love dim sum, even people who are usually hungry, and even beggars on the roadside will come into her shop to get snacks for free. Obviously, they have already regarded her place as a relief center. Taking two catties of snacks for nothing every day is enough for the whole family to eat.

Although Luo Shi felt sorry for these free snacks, she had to grit her teeth and endure it. Finally, after half a month passed, she returned to normal business status and stopped giving free snacks.

But what she didn't expect was that when she resumed normal operation, the previous customers stopped coming, and the store became deserted again, and there were not many patrons at the end of the day.

Everyone saw that she was unwilling to give free dim sum, so of course they refused to come, because the dim sum in Luo's shop was really bad, and it was far worse than Shen Yunjin's craftsmanship, but the price was not low, everyone of course I don't want to spend a high price to buy this kind of dim sum to eat.

At this moment, Luo Shi was a little dazed, could it be that she gave away the snacks for so long, and couldn't get the approval of the guests.

"What's going on, why don't the customers come?" Luo Shi complained loudly in the store.

Her husband glanced at her, sighed, and said, "I told you a long time ago, don't spend so much money to give away snacks for nothing, but now it's a good thing, the snacks are all sent out, and so much money was wasted, but the effect? ? Not at all, isn’t this a waste of money.”

"I didn't know it would be like this. What do you mean, you want to blame it all on me, don't you?" Luo Shi felt wronged, and sat on the chair and burst into tears.

Her husband sighed again, and said nothing. He could only look out of the door with a melancholy expression, watching the people coming and going in Shen Yunjin's shop opposite, and the more he looked, the more troubled he became.

Roche scolded in a low voice, "These heartless people were so happy when they got snacks for nothing, but now when it's time to spend money, they ran to the opposite side. What are we doing here?!"

At this time, the old pastry chef in the shop tentatively said, "Madam proprietress, I have a way to get more customers in our shop."

"Let's talk, as long as you don't need to spend money." Luo Che replied in a muffled voice.

The master chef replied, "Ma'am, I don’t need to spend any money on this method, but I just make less money. I think our shop should sell dim sum at a lower price, so that there will be more customers."

"Price reduction?" Luo Shi frowned when he heard that, "I don't make any money in the first place, and you want me to sell it at a lower price? Why?"

The old master explained, "My lady boss, it's better to make small profits but sell more than nothing. You can earn less and earn a few more. Wouldn't it be profitable?"

Luo Shi asked back, "Then do you think the current price in our store is unreasonable?"

The master thought for a while, "I think it's really unreasonable. The dim sum in our store can't compare with the ones opposite, so our only advantage is that it's cheaper. If we don't sell it cheaply, I'm afraid customers will buy it." They will all go to each other."

Luo Shi snorted, the dim sum is not as good as the opposite shop, isn't it all because of the pastry chef's poor craftsmanship?

However, she didn't say that the belly is the belly, and she didn't want to make this old master go away again, and then she would be even less able to do business.

"Okay, if the price is reduced, the price will be reduced. How much do you think is more reasonable?" Roche asked.

The master thought for a moment, and then said with difficulty, "Let's reduce it by half, what do you think?"

"Half the price?" Luo Shi couldn't sit still immediately, and shouted loudly, "Then what profit do I have? If it's so cheap, I might as well just close the shop!"

When the master heard this, he quickly persuaded, "Don't, don't, don't close the store. If it doesn't work, then we can lower it by [-]%."

He didn't want Luo's to close the store. If the store really closed down, he would have to find another job. He didn't want to lose his job easily.
