Chapter 168: In case it can't be done
Shen Youfu was tired of catching thieves for a day, and now that the thieves have been caught, she can finally sleep peacefully.
But for some reason, since she caught that person, her heart has been up and down, and she has become unsteady.
She couldn't tell what was making her feel uneasy...... In short, there are too many strange things about this matter!
First of all, when they were in Jiaojiang, it was easy to see that the thief was not telling the truth when they were asked a simple question—he said that he had only heard that someone was buying melons at a high price, so he came to steal them...... Shen Youfu felt that he was employed!
It doesn't really matter who you are hired for.
What matters is how many of these thieves are hired by the black hand behind it......
One or two can still be dealt with...... But if it's ten or eight? Or even a dozen, dozens?
…… That way, even if they stole every time they could get it back, the small melon field in their hands would be almost torn apart.
When the news of Zhuangzi's insecurity spreads again, the squatter house will be uninhabited, and the melons and fruits will naturally be uncared for...... Under the vicious circle, she will either sell the melons and fruits cheaply, or she can only close her doors and stop doing business.
She understands the truth!
But she just can't figure it out, what is the benefit of such a result for the people behind the scenes?
It doesn't seem like a good thing to offend Yeren Gongzi, right? But to say that it is really for food, this is too exaggerated!
Shen Youfu was a little troubled by this incident, but at this time, she had to pull herself together - because Zhuangzishang was about to face a second round of tests.
Speaking of this second round of tests, Shen Youfu couldn't laugh or cry...... The corn on the Zhuangzi is ripe ahead of schedule!
There was originally geothermal heat under Cuibei Mountain, and the fields where Shen Youfu planted corn may be closer to the geothermal location, so it actually matured more than 20 days earlier than Shen Youfu expected.
It was when the garden was at its most unsafe. Shen Youfu has another thing of considerable value in her hand - a bumper harvest makes her happy, but this thief comes and goes, it is not enough to spoil the golden melon, isn't it equivalent to sending corn to the thief!?
This will not work, it must be sold immediately.
Shen Youfu figured out this matter the next day, and asked Ye Lun to help interrogate the matter of the golden melon and the thief...... Even if it can't be tried. He was also handed over to him for detention first.
And now I have to free my hands. Sell the corn!
"Lu'er!" Shen Youfu tried to calm herself down, and first did what she could do in front of her, "Go and call all the people in the courtyard in." I have something to ask you. ”
After Lu'er watched the young lady come back from catching the thief, she couldn't sit still all night. Now I finally have my mind settled.
She hurriedly saluted, turned around and went out to bring in the two little maids in the courtyard.
Shen Youfu was frightened by Shen Lian's "maid Dafa" before. So far, even the Shen family is already her world. But there are always only four people in her yard - Mama Xu and Lu'er. There are also these two little maids singing and asking the moon.
Mama Xu has to take care of a lot of things in the house, and she is not in the courtyard now, so Lu'er only brought these two people.
The two little maids were excited and excited to see the master. But. It's also Lu'er who is well trained...... Although the two of them are not very old, they have a calm demeanor in their work - although there is a joy in their eyes that cannot be concealed, but their demeanor is very respectful.
"The slave has said goodbye to the young lady." The two little maids had immature voices and were trying to do what they had learned on a daily basis. I hope to leave a good impression on Shen Youfu.
Shen Youfu has a very good impression of these two rules of the maid - in fact, for her, there are some treacherous and greedy problems, and that is not a problem!
As long as it wasn't placed by Shen Lian, it would be a good person for her!
Especially now, the composition of the Shen family's subordinates is very complicated, and she doesn't dare to use others lightly...... So these two little maids are even more precious.
"Get up, and don't be restrained in front of me."
Different people have to be treated with different attitudes, and Shen Youfu is obviously much kinder to these two little ones than to Lu'er......
…… Lu'er pursed her lips unconvinced, but then she thought that Miss Master had murdered her every time, and was actually so good to her, so she was much relieved: "Our master called you in today because he has something important to ask you." You listen carefully, answer when you think about it, don't think too much, just tell the truth. ”
Before Shen Youfu could ask a question, Lu'er helped her ask another sentence. The two little girls hurriedly replied yes.
Shen Youfu felt that this relaxed atmosphere was almost brewing, so she said, "If, another kind of rice." The rice is golden brown and very beautiful...... But you've never seen it, will you buy it for money? ”
Ta Ge instinctively wanted to look up at Miss Master's face, but then he thought of Sister Lu'er letting her tell the truth, so she didn't look at anyone anymore, and she lowered her head and thought for a while.
"Slaves won't." "Neither will the slave."
Shen Youfu nodded, she wouldn't ...... herself Rice is different from melons and fruits, and there is a novelty to try it.
No one would think that the taste of rice would be very different.
Therefore, when something like corn appears, most people will definitely not try it.
"Then how can you buy this kind of rice and cook it?" Shen Youfu asked in a very relaxed tone.
Stepping songs and asking the moon are not very old, and they are the most imaginative. And they usually learn to buy with Lu'er, so they have a certain understanding of these things......
"If it's cheap and filling, the slave will buy it." Wen Yue said.
Shen Youfu shook her head: "Not only is it not cheap, but it is also very expensive...... But someone told you that this rice was delicious and very sweet...... In that case, would you like to give it a try? ”
Wen Yue shook her head, and Ta Ge also shook her head and said, "If a person tells the slave maid that it is delicious, the slave maid will definitely not try it lightly - because it is too expensive." But if everyone says it's delicious, the slave will be willing to try ....... ”
The idea of stepping on the song was obviously also the idea of asking Yue, and after she finished speaking, the two of them nodded at Shen Youfu together.
This answer is not too surprising for Shen Youfu...... But I guess there was some disappointment.
No one wants to try something new, no matter how good it is—unless, as in previous lives, corn was introduced to a new continent by edict from the king, ordering it to be planted on a large scale...... In this way, you can save on advertising costs.
And she, relying on her own strength, waited for the first person to buy and eat it and thought it was good, and then sued the second person.
Although the speed of transmission is slow, it will sooner or later make corn as sought-after as a golden melon.
But now after listening to the words of the two little maids, Shen Youfu realized that the receptivity of the people here was worse than she thought...... According to them, even if it is ten times, they will not eat it unless thousands of people say it is delicious......
If you don't buy or eat, where do you get thousands of people?
Isn't this an endless loop?
Shen Youfu's market research conclusion came out, advertising still has to be done, just like golden melon, at least some people must eat it first, so that the next plan can be considered.
"All right, go down and receive your reward." Shen Youfu sent the two little maids away, she had already determined the thoughts of the people here, and the next thing she had to do by herself.
How can we make corn delicious for most people?
Set up a pot in front of the Shen family's rice shop, and then boil a pot of corn, and shout for everyone to come and try it for free?
It's definitely not going to work!
It is estimated that when the time comes, it will be snatched up by beggars or people who don't have the money to buy rice.
Moreover, before the corn has formed a good reputation, it is put in the Shen family's shop, which not only cannot make a profit, but is likely to give people the illusion that the Shen family's shop is unreliable. What's more, if people eat it for free, they may be even more reluctant to pay a high price for it later. I just think that this thing is not really valuable.
Anyway, it just doesn't work.
Then, it can't be free, the location can't be in the Shen family, and there must be a lot of people, and there must be many rich people......
Shen Youfu had a flash of inspiration in her mind!
She suddenly thought of Jiang Chenglou!
…… If corn can be promoted in Jiangchenglou, then there will definitely be no need to worry about the future business. At that time, there was no "supplier" in the whole city, but Shenjia Rice Shop did! What a sight!?
The more Shen Youfu thought about it, the more enthusiastic she became...... But how can you make Jiang Chenglou willing to use his own corn?
Door-to-door sales? That's not the same thing - no one wants to try it.
…… You can't use the conventional way!
Shen Youfu suddenly jumped up from the chair: "Is Jiangchenglou recruiting?" Xiao Er's chef can be even a dishwasher, I want to go to Jiangchenglou to find a job to do! ”
Lu'er looked at her young lady suddenly like a magic barrier, but she was used to it...... She slowly pressed the young fu back to the chair, and brought the tea over to serve Shen Youfu. Only then did he whisper and persuade: "Why doesn't Miss go and ask Ye Lun Gongzi to help?" ”
Lu'er felt from the bottom of her heart that in fact, Yelun Gongzi was very happy to help Miss.
Especially these things, in the eyes of Ye Lun Gongzi, it is as simple as saying a sentence - golden melon, isn't it something that Ye Lun Gongzi can do with a word?
If you rely on the power of Miss alone, I don't know if it will be done until the Year of the Monkey.
Not to mention, what if it can't be done?
Shen Youfu viciously stuffed the teacup back into Lu'er's hand - it seems that it is necessary to strengthen Lu'er's concept of female independence!
…… If you let Ye Lun do everything, then what's the use of Shen Youfu? Moreover, she was really embarrassed to trouble Yellen again.
Now that she owes Yeren so many favors, it's almost enough for her to make a personal promise!
