Chapter 365 Providing Good Emotional Value
The weather was hot, and even if Bai Tao had an ice drink, it wouldn't be as comfortable as sitting in the village with the air conditioner on.
After sitting with Tao Jiaren for a while, she prepared to return to the village.
Tao Jiaren also knew Bai Tao's personality, so she smiled and said, "That's it for today. I'll go to Taohua Village to see you after I'm done with my work these few days."
She has to provide a warm home for the little cutie.
Bai Tao did not refuse, and smiled: "Okay."
As soon as Bai Tao's carriage left the gate of Junji Town, Tao Jiaren received two king crabs.
The one who delivered the package was Bai Tiechui. When Tao Jiaren saw the contents clearly, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't they say they were out of stock?"
Before Bai Tao came, Tao Jiaren also went into the seafood store for a walk, and she happened to be there when the king crabs were sold out.
Bai Tiechui smiled and said, "These two are specially reserved by our aunt for Boss Tao to taste. One weighs 17 kilograms, and the other weighs almost 20 kilograms."
"Out of stock" is just our external statement, we still have more than twenty pieces in the warehouse.
My aunt said that high-end ingredients require more hunger marketing.
How can we let people know how precious king crabs are if we don't let these people feel that king crabs are hard to come by?
People who buy king crabs must feel that their money is well spent.
As my aunt said, many times when rich people spend money, they are not necessarily buying a thing’s actual use value, but the value given to the item, which is dozens or even hundreds or thousands of times greater than the commodity itself.
No matter what it is, if there is too much of it, it will make people feel as cheap as cabbage.
Therefore, even if there are more than 20 king crabs in the warehouse, if they are sold out today, the store will not put new ones in for the next ten days or half a month.
If anyone wants to buy it, they can make a reservation, but when will the pre-ordered goods arrive? The shop assistants all said in unison: We don’t know, after all, it’s caught from deep sea.
And... Bai Tiechui thought, if people outside knew that Taohua Village had celebrated its new house a few days ago, there would be two king crabs on every table, plus seafood soup and other things, so two hundred king crabs would have been used up at once.
Each person gets a lobster. I wonder what their reaction will be.
Thinking of this, Bai Tiechui felt both guilty and proud. He felt guilty because he thought his fellow villagers were too extravagant. If they kept these and sold them, it would be a huge sum of money.
The point of pride is very simple, it is because our aunt loves us.
When Tao Jiaren heard that this was something Bai Tao had specially reserved for her, her heart softened immediately. What a nice little cutie.
You know, the price of a king crab is not low. Even though all eight were sold out in the store, Tao Jiaren guessed that three of them should have been bought by Nakun.
Liang State was not far from here, and people from Liang State came here from time to time to do business and buy goods. Especially after the Baijiabao caravan opened a lot of shops here, more merchants came here.
As a prince of Liang State, Na Kun would naturally come over from time to time.
Tao Jiaren came back to her senses, smiled, took the waterproof cowhide bag containing the king crab, and said, "Go back and thank your aunt for me."
She would not refuse, as this was the little cutie's intention.
Bai Tiechui nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you when I get back."
Tao Jiaren saw the booklet, picked it up and flipped through it, then said with a smile, "Your aunt is so generous."
You know, if anyone has a recipe at this time, they will keep it secret, but Bai Tao is the only one who is extremely generous.
The seafood recipes were printed into a booklet, which listed in detail the cooking methods and eating methods of several types of seafood.
Bai Tiechui quickly understood what she meant. He raised the corner of his mouth and said with pride: "This is what I should do."
"Our aunt said that some things should be shared with the world. If they are hidden away, it will easily lead to the loss of culture."
There was another reason that Bai Tiechui didn't say. After all, Junji Town was not by the sea, and people were unfamiliar with seafood, so naturally they didn't know how to cook it.
If there is no cooking manual to guide you, and people don’t know how to cook the food after buying it, or if the food doesn’t taste good, there will be no repeat customers.
As long as people know how to eat it, cook it deliciously and love to eat it, the seafood store will have a steady stream of business.
If you sell well and get a lot of business, why not do it?
Tao Jiaren: "Others don't have the vision of your aunt."
Bai Tiechui grinned upon hearing this: "That's right, our aunt is the most powerful and intelligent person."
"You are lucky." Tao Jiaren also agreed: "You met such a smart girl like her."
Bai Tiechui just nodded and didn't say anything else.
He thought to himself, that’s right, the Taohua Village has used up all the good luck of several lifetimes.
In the words of the villagers, the ancestors of each family must have used up all their connections and favours to give them such a powerful and caring aunt.
At this time, a waiter from Tao Jiaren's inn came over quickly and whispered something to Tao Jiaren.
Tao Jiaren paused with a smile on her face and said, "Okay, I'll go back and take a look."
Seeing this, Bai Tiechui's eyes flashed with curiosity, but seeing that Tao Jiaren had no intention of speaking, he was too embarrassed to ask.
Just as Tao Jiaren was about to leave, Bai Tiechui opened his mouth, which had been moving for several times, and said, "By the way, I wonder if Boss Tao's previous trip went smoothly?"
Tao Jiaren paused while untying the reins, looked up and smiled, "Not bad."
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, it was finally resolved smoothly.
It's strange to say, she had encountered some difficulties, and just when she was thinking about how to solve them, two days later, things suddenly became a lot simpler.
It was as if someone helped her.
But after investigating, Tao Jiaren found nothing unusual and was sure that no one had set a trap to ambush her.
"That's good, that's good." Bai Tiechui smiled.
Tao Jiaren also smiled and said, "Okay, I know you are busy too, go ahead and do your work, I'll leave first."
"Ah."
"Then see you in a few days." After saying that, Tao Jiaren rode away on her horse. Bai Tiechui seemed to have just come to his senses and replied softly, "Okay, see you in a few days."
After he finished speaking, he looked around like a thief, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him and no one heard what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the opening day of the seafood shop, all high-end ingredients such as king crabs and lobsters were sold out, and some mid-range ingredients were also sold by more than half.
Some dry goods were sold, and quite a bit of frozen goods were also sold.
When it was time to close and take inventory, Bai Dahua, who was in charge of the seafood store, was so excited that his hands were shaking.
"How about it?"
"Have you figured it out before?"
Bai Dahua paced back and forth in the office in the backyard. Unable to sit still, she couldn't help but run to the shop in front.
The cashiers were queuing up to submit their reports. When the person from the finance department saw Bai Dahua's expression, he smiled and said without waiting for her to speak, "Look, Manager Dahua is here to urge us."
See you tomorrow, my little cuties~~~
