A Good Life

Facing the sudden playful demeanor of Gu Zi, Li Hua couldn't help but burst into laughter. The two women, related by marriage, found themselves in fits of giggles, taking a while to regain their composure. Li Hua, holding Gu Zi's hand, asked, "Dear sister, please tell me, how did you figure out that we would have fewer customers later?"

Gu Zi wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue, having laughed until she cried. She explained softly, "Actually, it's just a common pattern. If we do a good job promoting our business before opening, we will be very busy at first, and this will last for a while.

"However, once the initial buzz from the promotion dies down, the shop will enter a relatively quiet, even slow, period. Like these past few days, our business has reached a stable level. We won't see a significant increase or decrease in customers. At this time, it's appropriate to reduce our supply to avoid waste."
