537 Su Ji
After two years of "brewing", the jam here has been sold well all over the country.
However, because it is only available for half a year from the beginning of summer to the end of autumn, and each batch of goods is limited, it is often in short supply.
Even in the capital, there are many high-ranking families who have quarrels over the purchase of a new jam series, and it is not uncommon for the two parties to fight.
There is no way, this jam is really delicate in taste, the taste is changeable, and the taste is sweet and not greasy, sour and not choking, it can always hit the taste buds of most people with sweet and sour.
Originally, the jam of "Su Ji" was mostly female customers, but this jam was sweet and sour, suitable for all ages, not to mention that the shopkeeper behind it came out with a limited edition "recipe", which specifically told the customers who bought how to match the jam and other foods to be more delicious, so that this jam has more ways to eat, and everyone is more eager to buy it.
It's not that no one asked the shopkeeper behind this to increase sales, but for some reason, the production of this jam has never increased, but only 500 sets of sales per month, and when the autumn is cold and windy, the sale will be stopped, and the next year will continue.
There are 500 sets of jams, with as little as three and at most five at a time, which is not a lot.
Even if there are occasional "classic series returns" activities, they are in short supply. What's more, in addition to the capital, there are branches in Hangzhou Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River and Liangzhou City in the north, and several stores share this not a rich "total amount", and the shopkeepers of the three stores are eager to fight with their arms and sleeves every time, just to be able to strive for more sales.
This year is the third year in a row, from the initial enthusiastic appeal, to the later angry protests, to now, it is probably the so-called "again and again, two and no more", everyone has been made to lose their temper by the strange temper of the "Su Ji" shopkeeper.
Of course, customers often "complain" because they can't buy it, and the same dessert shop is secretly alive - since there is such a big market gap in "Su Ji" jam, isn't the opportunity for these people to come?
So for a while, all kinds of imitation "jams" sprung up one after another, with uneven quality and good reputation.
However, one thing is the same - no matter how hard these later Dong Shi practitioners "struggled", they did not make the rich and delicate jam taste of "Su Ji".
After all, most people only think of adding sugar or honey to the jam to adjust the taste, adding salt or milk is considered "unique".
And the core staff of Su Ji have signed a confidentiality agreement, not to mention that the specific proportion of spices and salt and sugar is only known to Su Qingluan, so it is impossible to leak the formula.
Not to mention that in addition to the excellent taste and the shelf life that can be greatly extended, the packaging of each series of "Su Ji" jam has different ingenuity, and occasionally there are so-called "limited editions" and "hidden editions", many customers are willing to spend money to buy jam for the exquisite and novel packaging - after all, the average price of two taels of gold and a can, can buy is not an ordinary person.
As the real shopkeeper and "technical shareholder" of "Su Ji", Su Qingluan's life is becoming more and more nourishing.
Let's not mention that because of "Su Ji", there is a rich flow of money in the account every month, let's just say that the dividends paid by the "Hongfu Building" every month because of Su Qingluan's new dishes are enough for the Su family to have enough food and clothing.
Now Su Qingluan has purchased his own "Su Ji" shop on the "Commercial Street", which was the most prosperous in the town before, but he couldn't afford it at that time, and he doesn't have to rent the Xie family, so naturally he doesn't need to pay additional rent.
Originally, Su Qingluan felt that doing business with a partner like the Xie family belonged to "seeking skin with the tiger", after all, she was just an inconspicuous village girl on her side, and she really couldn't afford to hedge against that kind of wealthy family.
However, what surprised her was that as the cooperation time became longer and longer, especially in the last half a year, the arrogant "Xie Fu" in her impression did not know why, and became more and more "modest and low-key" everywhere.
At first, Su Qingluan just felt that the other party was very happy and dedicated to maintaining the "Su Ji" brand or paying the advance payment.
But this is also something that one of the partners should do as a matter of course, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
However, recently, while "Su Ji" has been imitated, there are still people selling inferior jam made by themselves under the name of "Su Ji" to suppress the reputation of "Su Ji".
This happened at the Hangzhou branch, so Su Qingluan didn't know about it at first.
However, Xie Fu is different from Su Qingluan, there are shops in various places, and naturally there are corresponding manpower, not only sued the official for the fake "Su Ji" shop and fined the money, but even took the initiative to recover all the turnover of the fake store and take the initiative to return it to the customers.
When Su Qingluan learned about this through the manager of the branch in Hangzhou, he exclaimed: At first, the Xie family obviously looked like they didn't ask, was there any genetic mutation that happened to be so attentive and thoughtful?
Of course, the sigh was just for a moment, and what should be done still had to be done.
Today, Su Qingluan has just finished producing the last series with everyone, and now she wants to launch a new series, and she doesn't need to wait for Xie Fu to send someone to "check whether the taste has passed" - after all, now "Su Ji" is the signboard itself.
However, as a partner, Su Qingluan still reserved two or three sets of "trial versions" for Xie Fu every time.
Liu Yunniang has become the female steward next to Su Qingluan in "Su Ji", if Su Qingluan is not there for the time being, and there are no fundamental problems involved, basically Liu Yunniang has the right to make her own decisions.
For example, now, Su Qingluan looked at the sky, it was already time to go home, but for some reason, the person who said from Xie Mansion that he had come to try the jam this time had not yet come.
So Su Qingluan simply asked Liu Yunniang to wait at the door of "Su Ji", and she herself was going to pick up her sister first - this was something she couldn't think of at the beginning of her cooperation with Xie Fu.
"Qingluan, don't worry, I will entertain the people from Xie Mansion when they come!" Liu Yunniang was wearing a light blue narrow-sleeved collared skirt, and said to Su Qingluan with a smile.
In the past two years, don't look at Su Qingluan, who has only grown an inch in height, but Liu Yunniang has grown nearly two inches.
She was already tall, but now she is even taller than ordinary men.
Now the Liu family has also bought their own small courtyard in the town, although they are not rich and expensive, but on the one hand, Su Qingluan completely transferred the right to use the recipe for the water soup to the Liu family, except for occasionally going to eat it to see if there is something wrong with the taste, everything else doesn't matter;
On the other hand, Liu Yunniang is a steward in "Su Ji", and her benefits are much better than that of ordinary employees.
With these two incomes, the Liu family's family has gradually become solid, and the originally dry and thin Liu Yunniang has a little meat on her cheeks.
