Chapter Ninety-Five: Door-to-door trouble
On the first day of opening, Xilin Village alone created a miracle that attracted every family to have a bag, and people from other villages in Xixiang also came to hear the wind.
In one morning, all the buns that the three of them had prepared for four days were sold.
Lin Archie looked at the account book and was overjoyed.
"Xie Ai! You're amazingβ" Xie Ai also hugged Lin Aqi tightly, "You're also great!" β
Lin Shaxiang covered the last cage drawer: "Today's results are considerable, which shows that our Xie Lin's bag is indeed very good." He looked at the store with satisfaction, and Xie Ai arranged all the matters of the size properly, "Miss Xie, these are all thanks to you." β
"Yes, yes!" Lin Aki pulled her and pointed to the account book, "Look, let's sell it for three more days, and we can get all the money back, this is not your credit, whose credit can it be?" β
Xie Ai smiled embarrassedly, she had done a lot of big business, and it was the first time that she had been praised so sincerely.
"It's also about the help of the two of you." Xie Ai solemnly saluted, "Thanks to the two of you for not giving up, I am grateful for helping me regain my strength today." β
Lin Aqi hurriedly helped her up: "Xie Ai, if you salute us again, you won't be a happy person." β
Both of them smiled: "Okay, I won't see you outside." β
After the three returned home, they summed up the cost, profit, etc., and the three of them made steamed buns together to sell, and the labor cost was a little too large.
So when he returned to work in the afternoon, he recruited two skillful women, one was a poor widow who had to earn school fees for her son, and the other was a hard-working woman who had lost her father and mother at a young age.
The two of them helped the store make steamed buns, and the ingredients were all prepared by Xie Ai in advance, so the two of them would not get a glimpse of the most important part. As for the sale, I handed it over to Lin Aqi, she has quick legs and a sweet mouth, and can often coax customers to buy two more.
Xie Linzhi's bag soon became famous in Xixiang for its big flavor and delicious taste. As the Chinese New Year approaches, almost every household has to prepare ten hoards to entertain guests.
After more than a month of operation, Xie Linzhibao's reputation exceeded everyone's expectations, and Lin Archie also had a lot of experience in learning to keep accounts.
"Shopkeeper Kobayashiβ"
Lin Archie popped up from the counter: "Eh! What about this! β
"And the beef broth, right?"
"Uncle Pan, the beef soup is sold out, and it will take about half an hour for a new pot."
"Ouch, it's half an hour, then I'll have to wait, my grandson will cry if he doesn't eat for a day."
"And me! Shopkeeper Xiaolin, leave me two too, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, just like your family. β
Although Lin Aqi's steamed buns are enjoyed by everyone, they do not interfere with the business of other steamed bun shops, and there are still many people who like to buy them in the original store, but in comparison, the most delicious Wang Ji steamed buns are not so sufficient.
Xie Linzhi's bag has a touching story, which is enough to infect every guest official who knows how to repay his kindness, and its price is only two cents more expensive than others.
Rao is like this, and there are still many bun shops that have been suppressed by Xie Linzhibao's bun and are very dissatisfied.
"Shopkeeper Xiaolin, someone is looking for him." Lin Aqi poked his head out and ran out of the house in response.
"Who?"
It is a total of six people, including Wang Ji, Cun Ji, and the owners of the archway of the bun shop in several other villages, who came to Xie Lin's bag to discuss the law.
"Guys who are?" Lin Aqi wiped her hands, Qi Feng sent her a martial arts training book last month, these days she is busy with buns, and she also practices martial arts with Xie Ai before going to bed at night, and her body is getting tougher day by day. Moreover, Xie Ai also invited the orthopedic doctor from Qixiang Village to heal the injury, and he danced a big knife in his arm to play it like a tiger.
If you really want to trouble her, these six people may not be able to beat them against two women.
Thinking about this clearly, Lin Aqi was even more daring. She had a good smile on her face: "Why don't you come in and talk together?" β
"Nope." The boss of the group first said, "Your steamed bun shop has seriously affected our livelihood, can you reflect on it?" β
The other five people also looked menacing, but if it weren't for the biting cold in winter, these six people would be bare-chested and carrying big knives.
Lin Aqi almost laughed out loud: "Boss Cun's words are too petty." Is there no preparation for losing money when doing business? β
Boss Cun was stunned, as if he didn't expect this girl to be so straightforward.
"We didn't lose money." His expression was upright, and his tone was even colder, "It's because of what Xie Lin buns you opened that most of the customers in Xixiang came to buy from you, which caused our sales to drop significantly......"
"Boss Inch, I think you're putting the cart before the horse." Lin Archie didn't bother to bother with him anymore.
Feelings: These people just can't get used to her Xie Lin's bag becoming more and more popular, and they came to her to trouble her when their eyes were red. How can there be a reason why you can't run your own business and don't find reasons from yourself, but complain about doing too well at home?
"First, I thank the neighbor's bag because the boss is grateful for the love of the bag, the kindness of the neighbor, and the way of gratitude to the old people to develop this store. Second, since the opening of the store, Xie Lin's bag has never broken the seller's rules, and there has never been a phenomenon of deception or coaxing, and customers should buy it all voluntarily. Third, Xie Lin's bag is unique and delicious, which is well-known and well-known, and it is reasonable that it sells well. β
Lin Aqi's eyes swept over the six people coldly: "So there has never been a deliberate robbery of business, and the six of them are making a big fuss about it like this." β
Boss Wang Ji knows Lin Aqi, in the past, this little girl often came to buy his steamed buns to eat, who doesn't know that Wang Ji is the best steamed bun shop?
But it's just such a little girl, who runs a steamed bun shop properly and the business is getting better and better, Rao is at the beginning to wait and see what happens, but after suffering a sharp drop in business for several weeks, he had to come to her to ask for an explanation.
"Lin Aqi, who doesn't know that my king has a good memory? Who doesn't call me a king? He snorted coldly, "Maybe you just stole my Wang Ji's kung fu and came to the class to get an axe!" What is the bag of thanksgiving to the neighbor, it is clearly plagiarizing our creativity! β
"That's it! What's so great about adding a soup! I had thought of such an idea a long time ago, but I never implemented it, so this girl listened to it and registered first......"
"Yes! What a vegetarian bag! I also have sugar packets at home......"
"What a shame! Plagiarism! This is plagiarism......"
The voices of the six people were louder and louder, and Lin Aqi's laughter became stronger and thicker.
Many customers who came to buy steamed buns couldn't help but stop and watch the excitement, Lin Archie's little girl was actually besieged by six big men, which was really interesting.
"I said you are all peers, why do you have to be so-for-tat?"
"Yes, it's not easy for a little girl, just to make a fortune with the skill of making steamed buns, why are you so pressing?"
"It's obvious that she is thanking her neighbor for forcing us hard!"
"Yes! This month's income is not as good as half of last month's, which is the reason why she Xie Linzhi's bag does not give her a way to live......"
Everyone was noisy and shouting, and Xie Ai's head in the room was big when he heard it.
This secret recipe is the ancestral recipe of her mother's mother's family, and she only took one recipe from the previous generation, but when she arrived, she had already used three kinds of recipes.
If this is said to be plagiarism, it will be difficult for her to come up with a recipe to announce her identity as the eldest daughter of the Xie family in front of everyone.
It's really embarrassing for Archie.
The other two women who helped couldn't help but be anxious, Xie Linzhibao wouldn't really close the door because of plagiarism, right? Will they still be able to pay their wages?
Xie Ai looked worriedly at the small figure at the door, Lin Aqi smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he was listening to something very interesting, did he nod his head in agreement.
She was so careless, which annoyed several steamed bun shop owners even more.
"Call your boss out! What can a little shopkeeper do here? β
"Plagiarism is plagiarism, you rest and deny it!"
"That's it! Listen up, folks! Xie Linzhibao plagiarized several ideas, which we all came up with by ourselves! They embezzled it silently, causing our business to be miserable, which is really a great crime! β
The onlookers gradually had different voices.
"What's wrong with her poor girl? The owners of other shops don't have children to support, huh? β
"Still plagiarizing? But isn't this steamed bun all the same and dough kneading with filling? β
"Who knows? The boss has never appeared in public, who can say exactly where the boss came from......"
Everyone was chattering, and the besieged girl silently covered her face.
Crying, right?
I can't stand it, being humiliated in public like this, even a little girl in her early teens can't be so ironic......
Lin Aqi quickly put down her hand, it turned out that she was just cold, rubbing her face to ease up.
"Are you done?"
The six bosses froze at the same time: "What do you mean by this?" But your neighbor's bag is endless? Can you close the door as soon as possible so that we can try to clean up? β
"Yes, it's shameless to not leave us a way to live with such plagiarism!"
"Since you keep saying that you are creative, it is my Xie Lin's bag that plagiarized you-" Lin Aqi laughed wildly, "Then you should take out the recipe and compare it with ours to see if it is the same." β
This......
The faces of the six of them changed together, and they joined forces to discuss that Xie Linzhibao plagiarized them, but this idea is nonsense at all, where can they find the formula to compare with her?
Boss Cun coughed lightly twice, and said stubbornly: "You said that you will compare?" Only my own people can see this secret recipe, if you take it and copy it, who can help us again? β
"That's it! What you have done is already so shameless, do you dare to compare and plagiarize in the open? β
Lin Aqi laughed again, the woman's laughter was lively and smart, but it was much more comfortable than those noisy men.
"What plagiarism? Obviously, you don't dare. β
"Xie Ai, take out our formula and show it, let the villagers watch together, what is different from them!"
