Chapter 163 Attracting customers
Yuan's milk tea shop is also on South Street. It is only six houses away from the casserole rice noodle shop. It is not far away. Yuan Ke looked over there.
The more I look at it, the more sour it becomes.
"If you are really tired of drinking, why are there so many people there while we have fewer customers? People are almost queuing outside, and they are too lazy to wait outside."
"Can they entertain so many guests in that little space?"
Liu Xiaomei came out and saw the situation over there.
"How about we go and ask?"
"We haven't made our money back today yet, and the milk tea can't be left overnight. It's been half a day now, and we haven't even sold half of the milk tea. When it gets cooler in the afternoon, it's even harder to sell the milk tea. If we can't sell it, If you go out, you will lose money today!"
Yuan Ke is a bit shameless.
"They were the first to sell the milk tea. We learned their recipe and took away their business. When they see us, they will definitely treat us as enemies."
"What if someone kicks me out before I even get in?"
"I can't afford to lose that person, so you have to go do it yourself."
Liu Xiaomei rolled her eyes.
"Look at your potential!"
"I'll just go, can they still eat people? Milk tea is indeed the first thing they sell, but we also spent a long time thinking about how to make their milk tea, and we didn't steal their secret recipe. They Even if I feel dissatisfied, I can only watch helplessly!"
"There are so many colleagues in the town. Wouldn't it be possible for a bun seller to stab someone with a knife when he sees one?"
"Even if we don't sell milk tea with us, there are others who will sell milk tea with them. Now, aren't there two other companies selling milk tea with them?"
"Yun's pastry shop used to be in the pastry business, and later it also sold milk tea. The day before yesterday, we figured out how to make milk cake, and now we also sell milk cake. We don't know how to make pastry, and we haven't figured it out yet. , I suffered a big loss on this.”
He took off the apron from his waist and strode towards the casserole rice noodle shop.

Gu Rao recognized Liu Xiaomei at a glance and asked, "What do you want to buy?"
Liu Xiaomei stood in the middle of the shop, stretched her head and looked inside and said, "I'm not buying anything, I just came here to take a look. Your business is so good."
Gu Rao hummed coldly.
"Since you're not selling anything, just step aside a little. There are customers behind you who want to buy things, so don't continue to block them."
Liu Xiaomei acted as if she hadn't heard anything and continued, "Why didn't many people buy our milk tea today? Is there some new product in your store that took away our customers?"
Gu Rao, "..."
Steal their customers? She was so embarrassed to say this!
So thick-skinned.
Seeing that Gu Rao ignored her, Liu Xiaomei turned to ask the customers in line behind her.
"The milk tea in our store is half cheaper than theirs, and the taste is not much different. Why are you all here?"
One of the guests knew Liu Xiaomei.
"The milk tea in their store can be taken away. It's more convenient for me to take it home and drink it. Although the milk tea cup costs money, if you use it this time you can continue to use it next time, so it's not a waste of money."
"Although the milk tea in your store is cheap, there is no ice cubes, the taste is a bit bad, and there are no milk tea cups."
Gu Rao was serving milk tea to the guests at this time.
Liu Xiaomei pointed to the milk tea cup in Gu Rao's hand and asked the customer who replied to her, "Is that the milk tea cup you are talking about?"
"Do you still need to pay for cups?"
The guest nodded.
"A bamboo cup costs two cents a piece, and a wooden cup costs three cents a piece. Although the bamboo cup is a penny cheaper, the wooden cup looks more exquisite and should last longer. I'd better buy the wooden cup."
It's not just for one use, it will be used for a long time in the future. He calculated it very clearly in his mind.
Seeing that they were still chatting, Gu Rao frowned and once again said to Liu Xiaomei, who was blocking the shop and deliberately not moving, "Give way."
Not only did Liu Xiaomei refuse to give in, she turned to the guests behind her and said, "We prepared a lot of milk tea today. If we can't sell it, it will be wasted. Business is not very good today, so we decided to lower the price by another penny. Now a bowl of milk tea only costs four penny." Come on, go buy milk tea from us!"
"There's no room for anyone in their courtyard. Our shop is very spacious and can accommodate many people. Why do you have to squeeze in with others?"
Some guests were moved after hearing this and started whispering among themselves.
"Four cents a cup, so cheap!"
"How about going to their shop to buy milk tea? They are all milk tea, and the taste is actually not much different. If you can save some money, just save some money."
"I'm over there!"
"They're really crowded here. There's simply no room for so many people inside. On a hot day, I'm too lazy to squeeze in with so many people."
There are also those who remain unmoved.
"It doesn't matter if you can't sit down, but it doesn't matter if you squeeze in. There's an ice basin inside. It's cool even if it's crowded, but it's cooler than sitting at Yuan's Milk Tea Shop."
"I just came here for the iced milk tea. The milk tea at Yuan's Milk Tea Shop doesn't add ice."
"It's cheap but not good. They sell it so cheaply. It can be seen that the materials used are very cheap. No wonder it tastes weird."
"Selling it for four cents, they should be able to make a lot of money."
"I still believe in Boss Bi and Boss Gu. Although the things in their store are more expensive, that's because the materials used are more expensive, and the milk tea in Boss Bi and Boss Gu is cleaner and reassuring to drink, unlike theirs. Home, I even got a fly from my drink last time and it almost made me sick."
……
This was the first time that Gu Rao met someone who went to other people's stores to solicit customers. She really agreed with what she said. People are shameless, but she lost in terms of being thick-skinned.
She did not try to retain the guests who left.
Although it is a pity, everyone has the right to choose. She cannot prevent others from choosing cheaper ones. Of course, she will not lower the quality of the goods in her store in order to retain some cheap customers.
Liu Xiaomei went back with seven or eight guests.
When Yuan Ke saw this scene, he admired his wife extremely and couldn't help praising her for her ability as a prosperous husband.
The corners of Liu Xiaomei's mouth turned up, and her eyes were extremely proud.
"Don't even look at who I am!"
"Okay, stop nagging, go and receive the guests. In order to retain them, I have lowered the price of milk tea. Today's milk tea only costs four cents a bowl."
Yuan Ke's eyes widened.
"Four cents a bowl, are you stupid?"
Liu Xiaomei pulled Yuan Ke aside and whispered behind her back, "We have prepared so much milk tea today. If we don't sell it, we will lose money if we throw it away. Even if we sell it for four cents a bowl, we won't lose money. Also, The most important thing now is to retain customers, and the price can be raised later."
"We sell it cheaply, and if we get more customers, we might make more money than when we sold it for five cents."
"The milk tea at Zhang's Milk Tea Shop and Yun's Pastry Shop is still only five cents. Later I will spread the news that we sell it for four cents and grab the customers from both of them."
