Zhao Yunling's hot pot restaurant is very popular, even more so than a café.

After all, hot pot is affordable and suitable for most people's tastes, so many people come to cheer.

"Ma'am."

Liu Shi suddenly hurried over at noon and saw Zhao Yunling speaking very excitedly.

Zhao Yunling looked at Liu Shi puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Shi ran too quickly just now, and he didn't catch his breath all the time, Zhao Yunling poured a glass of water for Liu Shi from behind: "Drink some water, speak slowly, don't worry." ”

"Whew...... Good. Liu Shi took Zhao Yunling's water, and a glass of water was in his stomach, and Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Zhao Yunling's unhurried appearance, he also breathed a sigh of relief and settled down.

Liu Shi put down the water glass, looked at Zhao Yunling and said, "Madam, I just heard someone chattering on the road, saying that the restaurant next door to the café also has a hot pot, and the price is lower than ours." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Yunling guessed that someone would imitate his hot pot, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Liu Shi nodded very affirmatively: "After I heard about it, I didn't believe it, I didn't know what they were like, so I went to taste it myself." ”

"How?" Zhao Yunling knew that other people's technology and even materials must be inferior to his own, but he still couldn't help but want to ask them how they tasted.

What Liu Shi wanted to tell Zhao Yunling happened to be this incident: "I don't know what materials they use, but the taste of the things they make is very similar to ours, although the things under the order are not as good as ours, but the price is much worse than ours, when I went to see it at noon today, people have gone one after another." ”

He sighed and said, "This situation is not very favorable to us. ”

Zhao Yunling didn't expect the other party's craftsmanship to be so strong, this time he didn't have a formula, and he didn't tell anyone, so there was no theft, it can only be said that their imitation is very strong.

"If that's the case, in the long run, our customers will definitely be snatched away by her, so we must think of other ways." Liu Shi looked at Zhao Yunling and said with some worry.

Zhao Yunling also knows this truth, but it is not useful in a hurry now, and it needs to be studied slowly.

"Mr. Liu, it's hard work, I'll pay attention to this matter." Zhao Yunling thanked Liushi.

Liu Shi hurriedly shook his head: "What did Madam say?" If you say that, we'll be out of sight. ”

Zhao Yunling looked at Liu Shi pretending to be unhappy and smiled: "It's me who is wrong, how can I meet you?" ”

Because he came here just to tell Zhao Yunling about this matter, he sat for a while, and Liu Shi was busy with other things and said goodbye and left.

Although Zhao Yunling took the matter of the restaurant to heart, he was not very concerned, and soon he found that his business was getting worse and worse.

At this time, Zhao Yunling realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Have you heard about the restaurant?" Rong Yan saw the business situation in the past few days, and was afraid that Zhao Yunling would be troubled, so Rong Yan also inquired.

Knowing the situation, Rong Yan asked Zhao Yunling to see if she knew.

Zhao Yunling nodded: "Liu Shi told me about this a few days ago, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time, probably because the business had been going smoothly before, so I didn't expect him to have such a big impact on our business." ”

"I didn't expect anyone to imitate the taste of your unique production."

Rong Yan smiled and hugged Zhao Yunling's waist: "In my heart, your things are unique and cannot be imitated, even if they are imitated, they are different from yours." ”

"Then are you praising others, or praising me?" Zhao Yunling also reached out to hug Rong Yan and responded to him.

Rong Yan knew that Zhao Yunling was not really angry, he just wanted to tease himself: "How can I praise others?" Of course I'm complimenting you! ”

Looking at Rong Yan's super desire to survive, Zhao Yunling couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Regarding the hot pot matter, I also made some plans, and after hearing about my incident, I was also a little flustered, because after all, our cost is there, and if we blindly reduce the price, it will not be beneficial to us." ”

Rong Yan also thought of this matter, and it was precisely because he thought of it that he felt constrained.

"We can't lower the price, but we can do something else." Zhao Yunling winked at Rong Yan.

Rong Yan didn't expect any activities to bring customers back: "Ling'er, don't sell Guanzi, let's talk about it, what good way do you have." ”

Zhao Yunling broke free from Rong Yan's arms, made it barefoot on the bed, shook it, and then said, "I plan to do a promotional activity and then attract customers back." ”

"What activity?" Rong Yan caught Zhao Yunling's feet, because the weather was gradually getting colder, so Zhao Yunling's bare feet were also a little cold.

Rong Yan's body was very warm, and Zhao Yunling naughtily put his feet into Rong Yan's clothes and put them on his abdominal muscles.

Then he slowly spoke: "I'm going to do a big stomach activity." ”

"Big Stomach?" Hearing this name, Rong Yan probably knew what it meant, but he was still puzzled: "Is it more than eating?" Didn't we lose it? How can it be to make money? ”

Zhao Yunling moved dishonestly, and was held down by Rong Yan: "You don't understand this, do you?" All right

"Big Stomach King Competition, the top three in the rules can enjoy a free meal package, and the food eaten during the game, the first place can be free, and the second one is discounted in turn, this kind of game we have never had here, so it will definitely attract a lot of guests, and all the food will be half price on the day of the competition." Zhao Yunling introduced the rules of the game to Rong Yan.

Rong Yan understood, but still had doubts: "Although you say so, it won't work in the long run." ”

"Although this is the case, the food we make is delicious and affordable, and there are such entertaining activities to promote, whether it is easy to arouse consumers' willingness to spend."

Although Rong Yan didn't understand the specific effect, he listened to Zhao Yunling: "If you need help with anything, feel free to tell me." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yunling had already spread the news, and for a while, the business in Zhao Yunling's shop gradually picked up.

Until the day of the Big Stomach King competition, a lot of people came, and there were many people who signed up, after all, the rewards were very attractive.

The competition went very smoothly, and the first place in the Big Stomach King competition was easily selected, and the people around him admired the Big Stomach King very much, and the Big Stomach King had this title, and he felt that he had suddenly improved to a level, so he was also very grateful to Zhao Yunling.

At the end of the game, the rewards were distributed according to the time of the game, and at this time, a young man suddenly ran out and interrupted the distribution of the rewards.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhao Yunling said politely.

But the young man was very disdainful: "You all have a dark box operation in this activity, right?" Is it that he is the one you have found a good insider, and you just don't want to give out rewards to do this kind of activity. ”

"Our activity is fair and open, there is no evidence, we can say that we are cheating and cheating, and there is not only one person who gets benefits, so why do you say that we operate in the dark?"

The young man didn't seem to think so much, and when he heard this, he didn't know how to answer, and then the people followed Zhao Yunling's train of thought, pointing at the young man.

Soon the young man couldn't stand this kind of staring, and ran away without even saying a word to Zhao Yunling.

In the following period, business gradually returned, and Zhao Yunling breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, news came from outside the city that there was a snow disaster in the north, which was very serious, and many people had died.

When the news reached the city, the people became panicked, and the weather gradually became colder, and people gradually hid in their houses and refused to come out.

When Rong Yan learned about this, he inquired in many ways, and knew that the situation was indeed not to be underestimated, although there was nothing to do with him, but the blood in his bones wanted to take him forward.

In the end, he hesitated for several days, and when the news of the snow disaster became more and more serious, Rong Yan couldn't sit still.

No matter what you say, this matter is not the life of one or two people, Rong Yan wants to discuss it with Zhao Yunling, although Zhao Yunling will know how to let him go, but he is afraid that he will not be happy.

"Ling'er."

Seeing that Rong Yan wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Yunling could somehow guess what he meant, in fact, she thought that the last time the news came, Rong Yan would talk to him.

This time it was much later than I expected.

Rong Yan looked at Zhao Yunling, thinking that once he left, it would be very hard for Zhao Yunling to stick to the shop by himself, and he felt a little distressed.

But now the situation in the north is also very serious, and he is not allowed to think about it anymore, and when he was about to speak, Rong Yan hesitated.

"I know what you want to say, I won't stop you, I only have one condition, I want to go with you." Zhao Yunling took a step forward and expressed his thoughts.

Rong Yan refused without thinking about it: "No!" ”

"Why?" Zhao Yunling was ready to leave, but he didn't expect Rong Yan to refuse.

Rong Yan didn't want Zhao Yunling to follow him, not to mention that no one knew what the situation of the snow disaster in the north was now.

And it was impossible for Rong Yan to let Zhao Yunling take risks with him, so he rejected her idea at the first time.

"I don't know what the situation is ahead of me yet, and it's easy for you to be dangerous, so wait for me to come back at home." Rong Yan explained to Zhao Yunling.

Zhao Yunling was ready but heard Rong Yan say this, knowing in his heart that he was doing it for his own good, but when he heard Rong Yan's refusal without thinking about it, he felt a little lost in his heart.

After all, I have been preparing for a long time, making a lot of preparations, and thinking of many situations, but I didn't expect Rong Yan to have this reaction.

"I'll go with you, and I can help you when you're in danger."

Rong Yan shook his head: "Ling'er, if you go, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you if I am distracted." ”

"I don't need you to take care of me, I can do it myself, you go alone, I don't worry, you keep refusing, do you dislike my lack of ability?"

Rong Yan didn't expect that one sentence would make Zhao Yunling misunderstand so much: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, don't you know my belief in your ability?" It's just this thing......"

"You just don't believe me!" Zhao Yunling interrupted Rong Yan's words and ran out angrily.

Rong Yan panicked for a moment, and wanted to reach out to pull Zhao Yunling, but didn't pull it: "Ling'er!" ”
