I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

"Business in our store is so good that I feel we can open a branch soon," said Lu Jiyun.

"Don't think like that. If you run too fast, you'll easily fall. Let's just proceed step by step and take it slow." Ji Xiaoxi reminded.

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law. Once the business of this store is stable, we will open a new store." Lu Jiyun said.

After a simple lunch, everyone was busy cleaning up the store, as the dishes piled up in the morning had not yet been washed.

Several people helped to wash the dishes.

Prepare a new portion of the dishes that have been eaten.

After all this cleaning, several hours had passed.

Next, it’s the peak time for dinner.

Those who come out to play come to the store in groups to place orders.

The hall was filled with bustle again.

Business is really good, but it’s also really tiring.

After finishing their work in the evening, they washed the dishes and mopped the floor before leaving.

When they got home, the three of them collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.

The old man saw the three of them in this posture and laughed, "Now you know that doing business is not easy, right?

It’s right to feel tired, because it means you are on an uphill journey, so it will be more difficult.”

"We know." Ji Xiaoxi sat up straight, "Grandpa, come and sit here too."

"Okay." The old man sat over and smiled, "If you really can't handle it, just hire a few more waiters. Don't tire yourself out."

"Grandpa, we are just physically tired. We haven't done so many things for a long time. Actually, we are very happy in our hearts." Lu Shanming said.

"Let's observe for a while. If the business is as good as it is today, we will add more staff." Ji Xiaoxi said, "After a while, I will also go back. By then, the store here will have to be handed over to you two.

As managers, you two can't always be the ones serving dishes."

"What my sister-in-law said is true. It was because the new store was too busy opening today that we went to help serve dishes. We really can't do this in the future," said Lu Shanming.

"This is your first time doing business, so if there are some areas where you are not doing well, just take your time and learn as you go. It's okay."

"it is good."

"Our spicy hotpot is actually very simple to make, but what makes it so special is my secret seasoning. I have a feeling that imitations will appear soon."

"What should we do?"

"Now we don't need to worry, just focus on doing our own business and ensuring our quality."

"Ah."

The situation in the capital was different from that in Huinan City. Soon, what Ji Xiaoxi was worried about happened.

Their spicy hotpot restaurant had not been open for long when imitations appeared on the street next door.

It’s also a spicy hotpot, and just like theirs, all the dishes are in one pot.

But the price is cheaper than theirs!

This is an attempt to start a price war!

Lu Shanming panicked and took Ji Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said really happened. I saw many customers running to their store because they saw their prices were cheap."

Ji Xiaoxi patted her hand to comfort her: "Why don't you ask Liang Xuan to go to their restaurant for a meal and see how it tastes?"

Lu Shanming nodded, and when Liang Xuan came to find her after class, she asked Liang Xuan to go to the next street to eat.

Liang Xuan complained when he came back, "The taste is totally incomparable to our spicy food. Some dishes are overcooked, and some are not yet cooked.

The price is much cheaper, but the taste is indeed much worse.

You can rest assured.”

Ji Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "They will soon overcome the problem of whether the dishes are cooked or not.

The taste can also be adjusted slowly.

Price is indeed a big advantage. People who want to try spicy hotpot for the first time should give priority to the cheaper one.

No matter how good our products are, if he has no comparison, others won’t know about them.”

Lu Jiyun frowned, "Then should we lower the price as well?"

Ji Xiaoxi refused, "No, we can't lower the price. Our products are all the best. If we lower the price, it will not only reduce our profit margin, but also tell everyone that our positioning is the same as theirs.

Price reduction is absolutely not allowed.

But we can use a variety of dishes and some promotional activities to attract customers back.

This not only makes customers feel that they are getting a good deal, but our own profit margins are not reduced, and most importantly, our positioning is not lowered!"

Lu Jiyun asked with interest, "Then what kind of promotional activities should we offer?"

“For every 10 yuan spent, get a bottle of soda for free.

For every 20 yuan spent, you will receive a new product.

For every 80 yuan spent, get a free beef.

Before giving away gifts, we have to heavily promote the new product and the beef and exaggerate the value of the gifts so that everyone will feel that they are getting a huge bargain.

I will make the new product tomorrow. Jiyun, go borrow a camera to take some pictures. Then we can use the pictures to print out some posters and put them in front of our store."

Lu Jiyun nodded and said, "Okay, but sister-in-law, what are our new products?"

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Fried dough sticks and shrimp balls. Our spicy hotpot already has fried dough sticks, but it lacks shrimp. This dish is not cheap, and they won't be able to imitate it even if they want to!"

Lu Shanming scratched his hair and said, "Shrimp isn't cheap, so if we give them away like this, won't we lose money?"

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and said, "How could I possibly do something that would make me lose money? Don't worry, I will definitely not lose money."

Liang Xuan said, "If you need shrimp, I have a classmate who sells seafood. I can ask him to send the shrimp over."

Ji Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, "Your classmate is very smart. Reselling seafood is a highly profitable industry, but seafood is prone to die after a long period of transportation. If we can solve this problem.

This business is very lucrative!"

Liang Xuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is indeed correct. In just a few months, their family has become a millionaire. Some people also want to imitate them and resell seafood.

But it wasn't smooth. A lot of seafood died and the loss was huge. Some people didn't want to do it after one or two trips.

They were the only ones who persisted, and I don’t know what method they used, but the losses each time were relatively small.”

Ji Xiaoxi said quickly: "Then ask your classmate to help us send 20 kilograms of shrimp tomorrow. If there are other seafood, you can also bring some over. It happens that we have few dishes in our restaurant.

The addition of seafood is an advantage.

I wonder if that restaurant dares to imitate us and use seafood!"

Lu Jiyun chuckled, "If they can also use seafood, I will respect them!

If you dare to use fresh products at such a low price, you will lose everything."

Lu Shanming said: "That's right, so what if the price is cheap? They only dare to use cheap things. We have more dishes, better quality, and better taste."
