Chapter 98 This drive and vigor

This year, Yun's father Yun Huaixin was only 11 years old, and his second uncle Yun Qingfeng was 8 years old.

The two boys were at the age where cats and dogs hate them, and they couldn't sit still while eating breakfast, shaking their heads.

While eating to his heart's content, he chattered on and on about his foodie feelings.

Kind of cute, kind of annoying.

Perhaps because of his older brother's halo, Mr. Yun looks a little more stable.

After eating, he took the initiative to clean up and wash the dishes, then walked to Yun Qiuying and asked if she needed help.

Yun Qiuying seemed to like this nephew very much. She patted his head and said with a smile:

"No, go play with your brothers and sisters. I don't need any help here."

"Have you had enough breakfast? If not, there's more here."

Having said that, she stuffed two fried dough balls into his mouth, and did not allow him to return them, asking him to sit aside and eat slowly.

Yun Huaixin thought about it and divided the two fried dough balls into four portions, giving them to his cousin and younger brother respectively.

Seeing this, Yun Zhen, who was outside the bookcase, nodded with a smile on his face.

I thought my dad was actually a good boy when he was young.

I kind of want to tease him, but I'm afraid of scaring him.

After thinking it over, I decided to just give up and watch quietly from the side.

Yun Shengnian and his family did not leave after breakfast, but stayed in the store to help with chores.

Washing dishes, wiping tables and receiving guests reduced some of the workload for busy Yun Qiuying.

At 1 p.m., the breakfast shop closed and everyone had a simple lunch together.

Seeing that there was nothing to do in the store, Yun Shengnian took his wife and children home.

***

After a period of time, Yun Qiuying's breakfast shop entered a stable state.

The number of new and returning customers increases every day, and the good reputation spreads throughout the county.

As for the common troubles of that era, for example, customers would complain about the bad taste of breakfast after eating it, and then make a scene to ask the boss to return the money;

or street urchins would come to the door to extort protection money, and they would think they could dominate the underworld with just a fruit knife;

Or maybe some competitors imitated the shop and deliberately opened the same shop nearby, diverting customers from Yunji Breakfast Shop.

Yun Qiuying can usually solve these troubles by herself.

The 1.75-meter tall man stood there, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked intimidating without even getting angry.

The momentum of the person looking for trouble instantly weakened by half.

I then learned that the owner of this store had a very good relationship with the public security station, and even the director of the station often came to the store to eat.

The remaining bad thoughts can only be put back, be a normal diner, or stay away from this restaurant.

In order to face competition from peers, Yun Qiuying increased the variety of meals.

Add meat congee, eight-treasure congee, fried rice noodles and steamed cake to the menu and rotate with existing dishes.

This will not add too much workload and will keep diners fresh about the breakfast shop.

The meals available seven days a week are clearly written on a large menu and hung on the wall for everyone's reference.

Come and eat the breakfast you like on the day you like it, it will not be available on closed days.

The limited-time supply approach increases the sense of scarcity, which not only does not reduce customer flow, but actually increases the return rate of diners.

Of course, it's not without worries.

The chili sauce in the breakfast shop is homemade by Yun Qiuying and placed on each table for diners to help themselves.

The recipe for chili sauce has been improved many times, and Yunzhen also provides some modern information.

The sauce tastes great. Adding it to steamed buns, noodle soup or rice porridge will instantly enrich the flavor of the meal.

Many customers praised the dish for being delicious and took a few spoonfuls of it while packing it up, saying that they loved the strong and spicy taste. In fact, they just wanted to take more home and eat it slowly in several portions.

Yun Qiuying has a cheerful and generous personality, and didn't think there was anything wrong at first.

Over time, the customers became more and more daring and their behavior of taking advantage of the customers became more and more outrageous, sometimes even taking a whole bottle of chili sauce.

When he was caught, he just smiled and said a few nice words, with no intention of returning it.

Compared with the daily account expenditure, the consumption of free chili sauce is increasing.

Yun Qiuying realized the seriousness of the problem and stopped providing chili sauce to every table.

Instead, she places the sauce near the stove, and if a customer brings it up, she manually adds it to the dine-in or take-away meals, giving only the right amount and never too much.

Yunji chili sauce is very popular, and people from all over the country who love it will patronize the breakfast shop.

This change caused many customers to complain, and they became angry and irritated towards the store owner when they couldn't get any advantage.

"Boss, don't be so stingy! It's just a few spoonfuls of chili sauce. If you're not willing to give me that, why are you opening a breakfast shop?"

"It was fine before, why did it suddenly change? Will we have to pay extra for adding chili sauce in the future?"

"If that's the case, I won't come. Anyway, there are more and more breakfast shops now. If I don't eat this one, there are other ones."

Yun Qiuying will not indulge them and will just let things go their way.

She's tried all the new breakfast places nearby, and none of them compare to hers.

As long as her cooking skills are good enough and the meals she makes are delicious, diners will naturally come back.

Those tentative verbal threats need not be taken seriously.

Yunzhen also agreed with her great-aunt's approach and gave her some advice:

"Since the chili sauce is so popular, you might consider selling it by the bottle in the store in the future."

"We have set up a special counter for this purpose. We only sell a small amount of stock. If you want more, you can pay to reserve it."

Yun Qiuying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she began to daydream:

"The conditions here mean that the chili sauce I make won't last long. The food factory has special equipment that can preserve food for a long time."

"If I make enough money in the future, I can cooperate with food factories and ask them to help mass-produce chili sauce. Or I can open my own factory and produce a lot of chili sauce with a long shelf life, and then wholesale it to various supply and marketing cooperatives."

Yunzhen smiled and praised her idea with approval.

I felt very emotional, this was indeed my great-aunt's entrepreneurial path.

Half of the chili sauce that later became popular throughout the province came from my great-aunt's factory.

It's a pity that I can't give her specific tips, otherwise it would help her make more.

Yunzhen looked up a lot of information on the Internet. Regarding the current situation of her great-aunt's store and her plan to open a sauce factory in the future, he used plain language to chat with her and told her about some of the pitfalls of opening a store or a factory.

These are all information that is consistent with that era, so it wouldn't be unusual to tell others about them.

Only occasionally when I'm about to let something slip, the system will pop up a window to remind me, or just mute me directly.

My great aunt listened with great interest and even found a notebook to take notes.

I study these in my spare time, learn and practice at the same time, and understand a lot of marketing methods from them.

During this period, the food factory allocated a house to my great-uncle.

My great aunt's family had their own house, but they did not refuse the one allocated by the company, thinking that they could keep it for their children.

My great aunt went to visit and came back and said to Yunzhen excitedly:

"Things have changed so quickly in recent years. Maybe we can resume land sales in the future."

"If I buy a piece of land and build a building, I can earn enough money for several lifetimes just by selling the houses."

Yun Zhen laughed out loud after hearing this: "Nothing is absolute in this world. Who knows, maybe that day will really come."

My great-aunt was still full of energy even in her middle age, which was completely different from the young people in later generations who always want to be a loser and give up.

Yunzhen felt a vigorous vitality in her, and a drive to dare to think and fight even in difficult times.

This drive and vigor is exactly what later generations lack.

Yunzhen was deeply encouraged at this moment.
