Chapter 387: An Old Guest of the Teahouse
Mingxi Tea House has been open for a week, and business is tepid, and the main customers who come to patronize it are almost all guests at the opening ceremony, their relatives and friends, and there are very few other real foreign customers.
However, Li Youran is fully psychologically prepared for this situation, a newly opened teahouse, there is no fame, the price is expensive, it is normal for the business to be light at the beginning of the opening, and the accumulation of popularity needs to go through a process. Anyway, I don't expect the teahouse to make a profit right away now, so take your time.
He asked Aunt Qi to explain He Lingling and Han Yueying, don't worry, just do your job step by step. As for any discount promotion methods, they are not used, because the tea house is positioned as a high-end, and doing so will be suspected of lowering the grade.
In the afternoon, He Lingling, the manager of the tea house, inspected the hall.
There was only one table of three guests drinking tea in the whole hall, which was really deserted compared to the lively scene at the bun shop, which made her really unaccustomed to being busy.
"Welcome." The voice of the welcoming lady came from the door.
The glass door opened, and two men in their thirties walked in, looking around.
"Please sit inside, both of you." The hostess continued, stretching out her arms and pointing in the direction of the hall.
"Your tea here is so expensive." One of the men looked up and saw the price list hanging above the counter and couldn't help but frown.
"Sir, our shop uses the best quality tea and water, as well as thoughtful service, the price is naturally more expensive than other places, but it must be great value for money." He Lingling stepped forward to explain.
"Who doesn't say their own stuff is the best? It's too expensive for you here. The man looked at the price list, still finding it difficult to accept.
"Forget it, Lao Zhou, let's change places." Another man said to his companion.
"Okay, let's go to the Jinfengyuan Teahouse in the west."
With that, the two men turned and pushed the door open.
"Please go slowly, two of you." The hostess was still very polite to see off the guests.
He Lingling shook his head slightly when he saw this, such a scene has appeared a few times recently. After all, the price of tea in our store is not affordable for everyone.
She then left the foyer and went to the back to check the stock of the special water, and now every day the shop mates pedal tricycles to the steamed bun shop in Shigu Lane. Fill the special water bucket and transport it back to the teahouse for use.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a Mercedes-Benz S300L drove into the parking lot in front of the teahouse, and the door opened. Down three men.
Seeing this, the welcome lady hurriedly opened the glass door.
"Welcome."
Among the visitors, the leader was a middle-aged man with a horse-faced face in his forties, and the other two were younger, about thirty years old.
"Change the boss here, isn't it Xiang'an Teahouse?" The horse-faced man looked around, a little puzzled on his face.
"Sir. Hello, our boss took over the Xiang'an Tea House before the Spring Festival, which has just opened. Is the three of you in the hall or in the private room? The welcome lady explained.
"Well, it's a private room." The horse-faced man thought for a moment and replied.
"Please go this way." The hostess indicated the direction of the stairs.
The horse-faced man didn't seem to be a stranger to this place, and led people straight upstairs.
"It's cold enough business here." A short man said. He has the impression that there are always reasons for bad business.
"It's better to be quiet, it's convenient to talk about things." The other man with glasses didn't care.
A few minutes later. Tea master Han Yueying received three guests in the "Xinyue" tea room.
"Hello, Boss Yu." When Han Yueying saw the horse-faced man, she hurriedly said hello.
"Oh. Isn't this Xiao Han, are you still here? Boss Yu asked in surprise. …,
"Yes, the original Boss Lu went to the capital to do business and transferred the teahouse to Boss Li, and I stayed. You may be seated. Han Yueying replied with a smile on her face, and asked Boss Yu and the three of them to sit down.
"Boss Yu, what kind of tea are you drinking today? Oh yes, the price list has changed now, you can take a look first. Han Yueying said. Push the price card on the table in front of Boss Yu.
Boss Yu's eyes glanced at it, and he had already taken a rough look.
"Hey, your new boss has taken such a big step, and he's in a hurry." Looking at the almost double price on the brand, there was a hint of disdain in his tone.
He estimated that the new owner was a novice who had just entered the industry, and the new teahouse, which had just opened and was not yet popular, was so eager to make a profit. Don't you know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it?
"Boss Yu, you may have misunderstood. You're a regular customer, so I don't have to hide it. Mingxi Tea House is different from the past, now it is positioned in the high-end market, and a special special water is used for brewing, which can greatly enhance the taste and texture of the tea soup, but the cost of this water is very high, so the price will naturally rise accordingly. Thank you for your understanding. Han Yueying explained calmly.
After the new special water entered the teahouse, she had already learned the power of this secret weapon, and with the professional eye of her years of experience, there was no water on the market that could compare with it. This also makes her full of confidence in the future prospects of the tea house.
"Oh, and such special water." Boss Yu listened to her explanation and became a little interested. And with his understanding, the tea master Xiao Han is not a person who talks nonsense.
"What about this, Cui Feng, why have I never heard of it? There is also a big red robe, ho, five thousand a pot, I really dare to make a price. The short man beside Boss Yu questioned.
"Sir, Cuifeng is a new variety of tea, with high quality and low yield, so the price is higher. As for Da Hong Pao, it is the best in tea, and it is by no means comparable to the ordinary goods of tea houses on the market. Han Yueying calmly introduced them one by one.
"The best in the tea, could it be that it is produced by the Nine Dragons Mother Tree?" The short man asked, slightly sarcastically.
"Although it is not produced by the mother tree of the Nine Dragons, it is not inferior." Han Yueying said in a resolute tone.
A few days ago, Boss Xiao Li and his girlfriend surnamed Ling went on a date in this tea room, and specially arranged for her to brew the best Da Hong Pao. Naturally, she also drank two small glasses.
That time, Boss Xiao Li also talked about Chef Chen of the steamed bun shop, who had tasted the big red robe of the Nine Dragons Mother Tree in his early years, and also compared the two.
She was impressed by the high quality of the tea soup, so she did not hesitate to answer.
"Oh, it's so powerful? I have been in love with the big red robe of the Nine Dragons Mother Tree for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to see it. It's better to see and see it today. Boss Yu said.
"Boss Yu, where can the store's advertisement be taken seriously?" The man with glasses also interjected, he had seen too many bluffing tricks.
"It's okay, I can trust Xiao Han. Having said that, if it was the Big Red Robe of the Nine Dragons Mother Tree, it wouldn't be at this price. Boss Yu was curious. Besides, 5,000 yuan is not a lot of money for him.
"Thank you for your trust, please wait a minute, I'll go get the tea." Han Yueying said, got up and walked out the door. (To be continued)
