Chapter 175: Extremely Cheap

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when almond tofu was officially on sale, and Xia Yan asked people to set up a few tables and chairs in the shop in advance, so that people could eat it immediately.

After all, almond tofu is different from shaved ice, as long as the ice is not melted, it can stay cold all the time, but almond tofu is only delicious when it is just taken out of the freezer.

If it is separated after a period of time, there is no cold feeling, and the taste will be greatly discounted, so after all, people can eat it in a short time.

Eating it on the spot is the best way, that is, it saves the possibility of losing its coolness by sun exposure, and adds to the lively atmosphere in the shop.

Desserts are the most delicious when everyone eats them together.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Xia, why are there a few tables and chairs in the shop today?" The first to come in was the woman who didn't dare to bask in the sun and her husband, and for so many days, Xia Yan had clearly felt her love for shaved ice.

No matter the wind or rain or the scorching sun, there is no obstacle to her, and every day she will bring her husband to Sweet Island to buy a few shaved ice, and smile happily while eating.

"Well, this makes it easier for everyone to sit here and eat, and it has a better atmosphere." Xia Yan smiled, "What flavor of shaved ice do you want today?" ”

"I want melon-flavored, and my husband wants watermelon-flavored." The woman mentioned her husband, and her face was full of sweetness.

"Okay." Xia Yan turned around and explained to the back kitchen, taking advantage of the guys' time to make shaved ice, she smiled at the woman, "Madam, although this shaved ice is delicious, but after all, it is made of ice, and some of it is too cold, and it can't be eaten too much for women." ”

"I know." The woman blushed, "Eating too much ice will affect menstruation, the doctor specially explained to me a few days ago that I want to eat less shaved ice, but I just can't help it." ”

"Shopkeeper Xia, you are really a real person." The man on the side couldn't help but say, "Other bosses do business, and they wish the guests to buy more, but you are good, but you persuade the guests to eat less." Hey, don't you know, the last time my wife came to menstruation, she couldn't hold her stomach and hurt, but it made me anxious. I found a doctor to see it, and people said that she was not good at blood and asked her to eat less cold things, but she just didn't listen, and every time she came to buy a bowl, she didn't enjoy it, so she wanted to eat a few more bowls. Shopkeeper Xia, please persuade her quickly, I didn't mean not to let her eat, I just hope she can eat less. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." The woman pouted, looking angry, "Shopkeeper Xia opened the door to do business, and you asked me to eat less in front of her, isn't it a slap in the face?" ”

"Is that what I said?" The man was anxious, "Didn't Shopkeeper Xia just say that women can't eat too much shaved ice?" ”

"But ......"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xia Yan hurriedly persuaded him: "Two, don't quarrel, listen to me." ”

Hearing Xia Yan's words, the two stopped talking, and turned their heads to look at Xia Yan curiously, wanting to hear what she had to say.

"What the two of you said is not wrong, women really can't eat more shaved ice, but since I am open for business, I must want to earn more silver." Xia Yan smiled brightly, "So I came up with a way to kill three birds with one stone." ”

"What's the solution?" The two of them looked suspicious.

"In order to take care of the woman, I specially launched a new product, almond tofu." Xia Yan took out a freshly made almond tofu and put it in front of the two, "The main ingredient of this dessert is almonds, and almonds are warm, even if you eat too much, it will not hurt your body." Although it is also cold, it does not have the biting coolness of shaved ice, but it is just enough to help people cool down. The most important thing is that almonds have beauty effects, and if you eat them for some time, you will definitely have an unexpected harvest. ”

"Seriously!" Hearing Xia Yan say this, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up, "This thing can really be beautiful?" ”

"If Madam doesn't believe it, just try it, if you don't see the effect after half a month, I will definitely return all the money you bought for almond tofu flowers."

"Shopkeeper Xia, look at what you said, how can I let you return the money?" The woman smiled sincerely, "Even if there is no beauty effect, but the thing is in my stomach, how can there be a refund of the money." ”

"Since I said so, I naturally have this kind of confidence, Madame, you can rest assured, I will do what I say."

Seeing Xia Yan's serious expression and serious look, the woman didn't say anything more, anyway, she had made up her mind in her heart, even if it didn't work, she wouldn't accept Xia Yan's refund.

"Shopkeeper Xia, how much is this almond tofu?" The woman had already decided to try a one, and hurriedly asked about the price.

"It's not expensive." Xia Yan stretched out his index finger, "Just one or two pieces of silver." ”

"One or two?" The woman looked incredulous, "Really? ”

"Seriously, it's one or two."

Receiving an affirmative answer, the woman was stunned.

It's not because it's expensive, but because I think it's a little too cheap.

You must know that the shaved ice in Xia Yan's shop has no additional effect except for being cold, but it also costs 800 wen a bowl, and this almond tofu can be eaten more and be beautiful, but it only costs one or two silver, which is a bit too cheap.

Other things with beauty effects are not only at this price, just take Ruyi Zhai as an example, their most famous golden swiftlet nest porridge, claimed to be made by adding hundreds of precious medicinal herbs to boil for three days and three nights, if you drink it for a month, it will make the skin back to delicate, but a bowl costs twenty taels of silver.

She tried it back then, but it took a full six hundred taels to drink for a month, but she found that there was no other change except for the skin becoming a little smoother, and in this way, many women flocked to it.

If this almond tofu can really make people see the effect in half a month, then this tael of silver is really cheap.

The woman couldn't help but secretly admire Xia Yan in her heart, everyone was right, this Xia shopkeeper was really a kind person, not like other businessmen, who only thought about making money, and didn't care about the lives of others.

Whether it is flour for food or fresh vegetables, which is not a rare treasure in the world, but she sells it at a price that everyone can afford.

The ice cubes used in the shaved ice on Sweet Island are things that can only be eaten by wealthy families and royal relatives, and she actually took them out and sold them so easily, and sold them at a very low price, which made people not feel distressed to eat ten bowls in a row.

There have long been many speculations outside that Sweet Island may not have made much money so far, and is even losing money.

What is the cost of flour and vegetables, they don't know, but they still know how much manpower and material resources are needed to make ice cubes, and it is not surprising that a large piece of ice is sold for a thousand taels, but there are a lot of shaved ice on Sweet Island, coupled with a steady stream of guests, it is not enough to sell a large piece of ice in a day, and she may not be able to sell it for a thousand taels this day, how can she make money?

The woman thought about it, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xia Yanlai, what a good child, putting money away and not making money, for the sake of others, she has been doing a loss-making business.

If Xia Yan knew that the woman in front of her was feeling sorry for her, she would definitely laugh out loud.

If you follow the woman's algorithm, then Sweet Island is indeed losing money, but Xia Yan's ice cubes are not the same as other people's ice cubes, so there is no need to be so troublesome, as long as you pick up a few buckets of clean water and put them in the freezer one night in advance, you can naturally get a lot of ice cubes when you get up the next day.

So the cost of her shaved ice is only water and a little bit of jam and other accessories, and she doesn't even need 100 yuan, and selling 800 yuan a bowl is simply making a lot of money.

Although she can also sell more expensive, but she understands the principle of small profits and quick turnover, if it is expensive, they can only occasionally buy some to try it, and can not become a stable customer, in order to open the fame of Sweet Island, more iron powder, these desserts to test the water are still more affordable than the people.

The more people come, the more famous her sweet island becomes, and why not earn more guests for less money?

The woman looked at the white and tender tofu, which was dotted with yellow powder that I don't know what it was, and looked at Xia Yan expectantly and said, "Shopkeeper Xia, bring me a copy of almond tofu." ”

"Okay." Xia Yan took out another almond tofu from the back kitchen, took two portions of shaved ice, and personally brought it to the table set up in advance, "Two." Please use slowly. ”

After arranging the two of them, Xia Yan greeted outside, and immediately a guy let the next batch of guests in.

Just when Xia Yan was entertaining other guests, the woman exclaimed excitedly: "Xianggong, this almond tofu is also too delicious!" ”

The woman's face was happy at the moment, this was simply the best dessert she had ever tasted in her life, soft, slippery, and with just the right amount of coldness, combined with the aroma of almonds and milk, she couldn't help but indulge in it.

"Madam, do you still have this bowl of melon-flavored shaved ice?" The man looked at his wife with doting.

"If I don't eat it, didn't the doctor say I can't eat shaved ice anymore?" The woman ate quickly but elegantly, "You can help me eat that bowl of shaved ice." ”

"Okay, I'll eat." The man wished that his wife would never eat shaved ice again, and when he heard her say this, he hurriedly brought the bowl of melon-flavored shaved ice to him, and ate it without saying a word.

After the woman finished eating the almond tofu on the plate, she shouted at Xia Yan: "Shopkeeper Xia, let's have another almond tofu." ”

"Ma'am, is this really that good? Is it better than shaved ice? Seeing the woman's eager appearance, the man couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course it's delicious." The woman smiled, "Just rush this taste, even if it doesn't have a beauty effect, a tael of silver is worth it." ”

After another portion of almond tofu was served, the man couldn't help but be curious, scooped a spoonful, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really delicious." ”

"Xianggong, now you know that I didn't lie to you, right?" The woman smirked.

"Madame, I never felt like you were lying to me." The man smiled embarrassedly, "Although this almond tofu is delicious, I always feel that something is missing, and it is more enjoyable to shaved ice." ”

"I really don't know the goods." Hearing her husband say this, the woman gave him a blank look, and continued to eat tofu without talking.

As Xia Yan expected, in just half a month, although this almond tofu did not cause any waves among the men, it caused an uproar among the women of Qin County.
