Chapter 96 Opening Business
I can’t taste it for free, and you are also saying some sincere blessings that no one can understand!
It's just a piece of cake, why is there so much fuss about it?
Someone in the audience immediately started to make a commotion, shouting, "Miss Shen, everyone in the capital knows that you have a kind heart, but I didn't expect that you have changed now, becoming just like those profit-seeking businessmen."
"One tael of silver is simply a profiteer. Who among us ordinary people can afford it?"
"I didn't expect that Miss Shen, who always regarded money as dirt, would change! She has become so profit-driven, which is really disappointing."
"........."
Facing accusations from people with ulterior motives.
A polite smile flashed across Shen Wei's face. She turned her head and looked at the man who was shouting the loudest. She said, "I remember you."
"You, you, and the rest of you."
"When the last store opened, we offered free tastings. You guys have been eating here for as long as the store has been open, but you have never spent a penny."
"how?"
"You have hands and feet, but you don't support yourself, so you come to the streets to beg? If I don't provide you with free food, then I am profiteering?"
"Well, I am only interested in profit. The longevity cake is not for people like you who have no sincerity. If you eat the longevity cake with such a mentality of taking advantage, your ancestors will probably have their lifespans shortened!"
"I am a profit-seeking person with a kind heart. I cannot do such a business that goes against my conscience."
“Please leave here!”
Shen Wei didn't remember who had the free trial last time.
But if she pointed at any of them, I think there would be a few that were real.
Sure enough, after Shen Wei pointed out those people in public, one of them changed his expression. He looked at the people around him and shouted even more unscrupulously:
"What do you mean? Are you saying we're all freeloaders? Are you saying we can't afford it?"
"Are you here to do business or to insult people? I think your store will be closed down just after opening today."
Shen Wei glanced at them indifferently and smiled sarcastically.
She didn't continue arguing with them because it was pointless. This group of people were not her target audience at all, and there was no money to be gained by explaining.
The purpose of this group of people is to eat for free and to take advantage.
Whether Shen Wei stands up today or not, she will be scolded.
Unless she fulfilled these people's wishes today and offered free tastings on the first day of opening.
how can that be possible?
The pricing of longevity cakes is aimed at high-end officials and families!
Seeing Shen Wei come in, Aunt Zhao and Pan Xi had already heard the noise outside. Aunt Zhao looked at Shen Wei worriedly and asked:
"Valley, what should we do now?"
"Those people outside have made up their minds to eat for free today."
"We run a shop to do business. We can't chase them away or scold them. But if we don't chase them away, there will be so many of them gathered at the door. No one will come to buy our longevity cakes."
Shen Wei felt deeply moved.
As for the food tasting thing, it was all because of the original book that I lowered my intelligence. I didn’t expect it would still affect me until now.
Fortunately, she had anticipated that the opening would not be so peaceful and had already prepared a plan to deal with it.
Shen Wei called in a martial artist standing outside. These four people were hired from the martial arts gym where she learned martial arts.
As for the man called in, Shen Wei knew that he had a brother-in-law who was a constable in the government office. Before opening the store, Shen Wei told him once that he might need to trouble his brother-in-law for a visit when the store opens.
After the man came in, Shen Wei said to him politely, "Brother, please go and ask your brother-in-law to come over."
"It's just a small fee for running errands. I hope you can make the trip."
After the man received the money, his face was covered with smiles.
He immediately said to Shen Wei:
"Miss Shen, I have already told my brother-in-law about your situation."
"My brother-in-law is also happy to help Miss Shen. I will go find him now and ask him to bring a few more officials to help you drive away these troublemakers."
at this time,
The clamor outside was getting louder and louder, as if they had predicted that if Shen Wei didn't want to go bankrupt, he would have to offer free tastings.
The servants sent by various mansions took a look from afar and then hurried back to report to their masters.
A quarter of an hour later.
In the residence of the Minister of Revenue.
Several young ladies were enjoying the flowers when the servant who was sent to buy longevity cakes brought back the news.
Hearing that the entrance to the longevity cake shop was surrounded by people making trouble, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue waved her round fan, with a sarcastic look on her face, and said:
"Every time Miss Shen opens a shop, it's different from others. This time, it really opened my eyes."
"I guess the store will go bankrupt on the first day of opening. It's a pity for the longevity cake. It is really delicious. My chef really can't make it."
"I really don't understand why a woman would come out to do business in public. Lord Xie really spoils her!"
