Chapter 245 Special Offer: Buy 2 Get 1 Free
A customer who had already dined at Wanhe Restaurant commented, "The little girl is right. I ate at Wanhe Restaurant once before, and the taste and flavor are still unforgettable. But how can ordinary people eat at restaurants every day? A meal can cost several taels of silver, and rich people can spend tens or even hundreds of taels, which is really unaffordable!"
I've been craving this for a long time, but ordering more dishes at Wanhe Restaurant seems like too much of a waste. Today is the opening of your braised pig's trotters shop, so I've come to try it and see if the taste is the same. However, if you're not using the same recipe and are deceiving your customers, I'll report you to the authorities.
Lin Xiaotang smiled and said, "Alright, our shop has just opened and we can't run away from here. You can buy one and try it first. If you think it tastes different from Wanhe Restaurant, feel free to come back and ruin our reputation. But let me make this clear: if you think it tastes the same but are deliberately trying to cause trouble, we will report you to the authorities and we will not let you off lightly."
The customer was genuinely craving it and sincerely wanted to buy it. Having received Lin Xiaotang's approval, he chuckled and said, "You little girl, you talk like a little adult. Can you really make decisions for your own parents?"
Liu and Liu Cai'er exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, saying, "Of course we can make that decision. Don't underestimate my Xiao Tang just because she's young. She's very sensible. What she said is exactly what we wanted to say. You can buy it and take it home to eat today, or you can go to Wanhe Restaurant and buy another serving to compare. If you find that the taste is different, you can ask for it back."
After hearing this, the guests were eager to try it out.
The aroma of braised pig's trotters wafted from the shop, making it impossible to leave just standing there; everyone felt their mouths watering.
Someone said frankly, "Here, I'll have one first!"
Seeing that someone was buying, Lin Xiaotang hurriedly said, "Today is the first day of our opening, and we are launching a buy-two-get-one-free promotion. This promotion is only valid for three days, so don't miss it if you don't take advantage of it."
"What? Buy two get one free? Is there really such a good deal?"
Liu Cai'er smiled and said, "That's right. Buy two and get one free today. The promotion is valid for three days. It would be a shame to miss it. Why don't you all give it a try and buy more to take home for your family?"
A middle-aged man asked, "How much is one of your braised pig's trotters?"
Lin Xiaotang thought for a moment. Manager Su's restaurant set the price at ninety coins per stick, so she would set it at eighty-eight coins and ask Manager Su for a two-coin discount later, so that everyone could keep the price the same.
Liu Shi and Liu Cai'er didn't understand these things, and they were clearly nervous. They both looked at Lin Xiaotang.
Liu asked in a low voice, "Xiao Tang, what price do you think would be appropriate?"
"Eighty-eight coins a piece, buy two get one free!"
Some customers who had dined at Wanhe Restaurant, upon hearing that there was a discount of 88 coins per stick, immediately exclaimed, "I want two sticks, but you have to pack me three!"
Another person chimed in, "I want four, give me six!"
"Give me two..."
"I also want……"
The store suddenly became lively, with everyone crowding forward and vying to take out their money to buy.
Liu Cai'er picked up the pre-prepared custom-made oil paper and wrapped it for each customer according to the quantity they bought. Liu stood at the back of the counter collecting money.
Because she was pregnant and quite far along in her pregnancy, Liu Cai'er was afraid that guests might accidentally bump into her, so she wouldn't let her stand outside.
Those customers who had eaten braised pig's trotters rushed forward and took out their money to buy them, because when they ate at the restaurant, they could only buy one trotter for ninety coins, but here they could buy two and get one free, and three trotters only cost one hundred and seventy-six coins.
Cost-effective!
Moreover, the promotion only lasts for three days. If you miss it, the price won't be the same anymore. You'll have to spend another 88 coins to eat one. Only a fool wouldn't buy it when there's a discount.
However, those customers who bought without hesitation were also wealthy.
Some people were watching and observing in the store. Some were just looking at the aroma and their mouths were watering because they didn't have the money, while others had never bought it before and were afraid that spending 88 coins would be too expensive.
They thought, what if it doesn't taste as good as everyone says? Wouldn't that be a loss?
After the customers who had already eaten finished buying, some of the hesitant customers gritted their teeth and spent money, while others who were reluctant to spend money turned around and left.
Lin Xiaotang picked up a piece of oil paper, rolled it into a megaphone, and shouted loudly, "We're offering a special discount today, but the quantity is limited. If you miss it, you'll have to come again tomorrow. If you enjoy the food, please help spread the word, and there will be even more customers tomorrow. You'll have to queue up tomorrow, so please don't hesitate or linger. You won't lose out, and you won't be able to buy it..."
This paper roll speaker is really bad. It's inconvenient to hold, and it doesn't amplify the sound much either. When I have time, I'll definitely have Dad make one out of wood!
She turned her head, picked up a piece of minced meat with bamboo tongs, and waved it around in the crowd, enticing everyone to sniff it. Seeing that everyone was eager to eat, she immediately put the tongs and meat back.
Someone couldn't help but lament, "Oh dear, everyone hadn't had enough of the smell yet, why did you take it away? It smells so good, it must have tasted delicious!"
"Nonsense, how could such fragrant braised pig's trotters not taste good? If I weren't reluctant to spend the money, I would have bought them long ago."
That man hesitated for so long because he was poor, but the person next to him ruthlessly exposed him. Feeling that he had lost face, he said indignantly, "If you are unwilling to spend money, what are you doing standing here? You are just taking up space."
"It's not like you're just taking up space. You've been standing here for ages, have you bought one yet?"
“I’m going to buy it, but I definitely won’t buy just one. There’s a buy-two-get-one-free promotion here. Only a fool would buy just one.”
"Then why don't you buy it?"
"I... I'm none of your business. You're so good with words, why don't you spend money on things instead of just talking?"
The two grown men started arguing back and forth in the crowd.
"Who says I won't buy it? Whoever is reluctant to buy it is a dog!"
"Buy it or not! Anyone who doesn't buy it is barking like a dog!"
Liu and Liu Cai'er were anxious and wanted to speak up to mediate the fight, but Lin Xiaotang stopped them.
Lin Xiaotang shook her head at her mother and aunt. She thought to herself, let these two argue. If they feel they can't back down, they'll just impulsively buy it in the end.
Although her mentality wasn't ideal, she was a businesswoman. Of course, she was happy when people bought her braised pig's trotters, but if no one bought them, she would have to find ways to attract customers.
Besides, her braised pig's trotters really do taste good; she wasn't lying.
Everyone egged the two arguing people on to buy braised pig's trotters. Passersby who were walking by the shop heard that the place was as noisy as a market and started to gather around.
In an instant, the braised pig's trotter shop was surrounded by a huge crowd.
Seeing how much everyone was egging them on, and considering they had already made their promise, with so many eyes watching, they would really be embarrassed if they didn't buy it this time.
So one of them gritted his teeth, took out a piece of silver, and bought two sticks. Liu Cai'er immediately wrapped up three sticks for him and handed them to him.
Liu was illiterate and could only count copper coins. She didn't know how to give change when she received loose silver, so she immediately beckoned to her daughter for help.
"Xiao Tang, come here quickly."
