Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

The two came to the street, found a restaurant with the words "Big Bowl Cuisine" written on the sign, and walked straight over.

Mo Yuan looked up. The name... was very plain, but one could tell at a glance that the dishes must be quite large. No wonder the princess said this restaurant was good. For the princess, the taste was secondary; what really mattered was the large quantity.

Jiang Li sat down and greeted him skillfully: "Boss, it's the same as before, the portions must be sufficient. I will introduce more people to eat here in the future."

The shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man. Seeing that it was the little girl again, he hurried over and greeted her warmly: "Don't worry, little girl. Come and eat. The portions are definitely enough. Bring more friends in the future and take care of your business."

"That's natural. I've never seen anyone more down-to-earth than the shopkeeper. That's how a restaurant should be run. Look at Tianxiaju. Those who know about it think it's for people to eat, while those who don't think about it think it's for cats to eat."

"That little amount is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth."

The fat man smiled when he heard this and said proudly, "That's right, I'm too young to do those nonsense things. As for eating, it's to make people full."

Jiang Li gave him an appreciative look, seeing that he was radiating joy with a smile on his face, he happily went to the kitchen to give instructions.

Just by looking at the demeanor of these two people, you can tell that they are not ordinary people and must not be offended.

Even if he can't compare with Tianxiaju, at least he can bring more people in the future, so his restaurant won't have to close. It's rare to have repeat customers. This girl is really a good person.

He came to the back kitchen, opened the curtain and shouted, "The table outside by the door must be given enough food, preferably with a pointed tip. Did you hear me?"

The cook stopped chopping the meat with a knife and turned to look at him: "Boss, who is that person outside? Why do you like him so much? Is he your relative or your boss?"

The fat man snorted, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just make something delicious. Kill the fish we just caught today and cook it. That girl likes fish, so you should cook it carefully."

"Yes, boss, rest assured. I understand. Since he is an honored guest, you should go and entertain him. I will take care of the kitchen."

The fat man nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go out first, you go ahead and get busy."

That girl is a lucky person. Ever since she started eating here, her restaurant's business has been much better than before. Such a distinguished guest must be treated well, and this opportunity is a good opportunity to get closer to her.

He quickened his pace and walked towards the lobby, carrying some melon seeds and peanuts.

Mo Yuan looked around and saw that there were not too many people in this family. He looked at the princess who was busy eating cakes, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Xiao Li, there are not too many people in this family."

Jiang Li glanced around and nodded: "There aren't many people here. I guess it's because it's not as famous as Tianxiaju, so few people know about this place and no one comes here. It's a good thing for us."

Why is this? "

"Hush, I'm whispering to you, think about it, this restaurant doesn't have many people coming, so the owner will naturally treat the people who come better, after all, he's counting on repeat customers."

Mo Yuan paused, and raised his lips slightly: "Xiao Li is talking about..."

The fat man brought melon seeds and peanuts, put them on the table, and said cheerfully, "These are for you two. No money required. If you need anything, just tell the waiter."

"Well, you are a really good person, shopkeeper."

"No, no, it's obvious that the customer is a good person and comes to patronize our small business from time to time. Otherwise, I'm afraid this restaurant won't be able to stay open."

Jiang Li looked puzzled. This restaurant was really good value for money. Why didn't anyone come here to eat? It must be because the promotion was not good enough. Thinking of this, he said, "Boss, I think your place is great, but it may lack gimmicks."

The fat man looked confused, what is the gimmick.

"What does this mean?"

"Look at Tianxiaju across the street. Their main attraction is high-end, a place where upper-class people can spend money. The layout of the place is all designed to be classy."

While eating melon seeds, Jiang Li said, "Your location is opposite Tianxiaju, so it is easy to be compared with it. With such a comparison, people who originally wanted to come to eat here will feel embarrassed and give up."

"Think about one more thing. Others may not know your restaurant, but they know Tianxiaju. The first impression of a restaurant that can be opened across from it is that it is expensive. And when they see the layout of your restaurant, they will be even less willing to come."

The fat man thought about it secretly for a moment and nodded repeatedly. What the girl said was indeed reasonable. He went there for the sake of value, but ended up giving the customers the impression that his place was expensive.

"Sir, what should I do? The dishes here are all fresh and affordable. They may taste a little worse than Tianxiaju, but they are cheaper."

Jiang Li nodded. Of course she knew this.

"Boss, first of all, you need to move to another location. You can't open it opposite Tianxiaju. It's too close and will be compared with the other. You should definitely go to the opposite side because it looks more impressive."

“Secondly, after you move to a new location, you should draw pictures of the dishes, mark the prices, and then hang them outside. This way, people who want to come in to eat will know the prices in advance and decide whether to come in.”

"To put it simply, highlight the strengths of your restaurant and hide its weaknesses. Don't compare your weaknesses with others' strengths."

After hearing these words, the shopkeeper suddenly understood. Yes, why didn't he figure out the trick here? He was worried about the lack of customers every day. It turned out to be this problem.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he passed by these two stores, he would definitely be attracted by Tianxiaju at first sight. It is indeed easy to be overlooked. Thinking of how stupid he was, his eyes suddenly became red.

He choked up and said, "Sir, you are such a kind person. If it weren't for you, this restaurant might have collapsed, and I wouldn't even know why."

Jiang Li waved his hand: "It's okay, your family is affordable, and I don't want your family to go bankrupt. Besides, it's just a few words, it's nothing."

"By the way, when you first opened this place, there was nothing unusual across the street."

The fat man thought about it and said honestly, "Yes, they even sent gifts. It's strange to say, since I opened this restaurant, the business across the street has been booming."

"... Tsk tsk, that's right, you are being used as a tool by others. They send you gifts because they are sincerely thanking you. After all, with you here as a comparison, the business will only be better."

Seeing that his face had turned green, her eyes were filled with sympathy: "This matter is not unsolvable. You should move to another place as soon as possible. Remember that affordable prices should be the way for your restaurant."

"Don't try to imitate Tianxiaju. It will only make people want to go there more. Go to the real Tianxiaju, not a knockoff."

"Advantages, remember your advantage is affordability."
