Chapter 148 Boss Shao Is Testing Me
Cheng Xia looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly walked out of the room, and looked at Boss Shao without knowing why, "I don't know who this is?"

Boss Shao waved his hand, and saw the man put a jar of things in front of Cheng Xia. The ceramic jar was somewhat similar to her small white porcelain altar. Cheng Xia didn't know what it meant, and raised his eyes. Seeing that Boss Shao wanted her to open the lid of the jar, Cheng Xia did so, and saw that it contained the same thing as her own rose sauce, but it had no taste.

Cheng Xia understood a little bit, she smiled slightly, "Is this what Boss Shao called a side issue?"

Boss Shao raised his eyebrows affirmatively, "The eight jars of rose sauce you left last time were all sold out, but soon, he made this," Boss Shao pointed at the man beside him, "and he sold it at a very high price. Low, you can buy a jar for fifty renminbi, and yours costs one tael of silver, there is a big difference between that, if you can convince me that I have to choose you, then we can still discuss."

Cheng Xia lowered her eyes and smiled, "Boss Shao is testing me?"

"In business talk business, this is normal."

Cheng Xia naturally knew that if there was really such a cheap thing that could replace her rose sauce, then Boss Shao didn't need to spend a lot of money to cooperate with him, after all, it wouldn't do him much good.

Cheng Xia was silent for a moment, then walked up to the man, smiled politely at him, "Can I have a look at your rose sauce."

"Please!" The middle-aged man said very generously.

Cheng Xia was suspicious, but didn't think much, just took the jar of rose sauce and sniffed it carefully, then observed the color of the rose sauce, and finally asked Boss Shao for chopsticks, Cheng Xia picked up a little and put it in his mouth After savoring it carefully, I had an idea in my heart.

"how?"

Boss Shao asked indifferently, he had been paying attention to Cheng Xia's movements, seeing that she was observing everything in a decent manner, he had already nodded slightly.

Cheng Xia put down her chopsticks, and said to the middle-aged man next to her, "Excuse me, do you use roses or roses to make this rose sauce?"

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Boss Shao, then nodded, "It's rose."

That's right, Cheng Xia saw that Boss Shao was suspicious, so he said slowly, "The fragrance of roses is very strong, which is not available in roses or roses, so although the rose sauce made by this gentleman looks similar to mine, But it doesn't really have much flavor, which takes away from the main character of the rose jam."

Some young ladies hope that they will be fragrant all over their bodies, otherwise they will not always use various spices or powders to enhance themselves. If there is no such fragrance, the most eye-catching advantages of rose sauce will be gone.

After Cheng Xia finished talking about this point, he continued to ask, "I also want to ask, is your rose sauce made in a very short time, or even only in the last two days?"

The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head in disbelief, and nodded again after a long time, "That's right, I made it last night."

"That's it," Cheng Xia looked at the expressionless Boss Shao, "After the rose sauce is ready, it needs to be pickled for at least a month. Rose sauce," Cheng Xia pointed to the jar in front of the middle-aged man, "it will be very astringent, with a hint of bitterness. "

After Cheng Xia Youyou finished speaking, Boss Shao suddenly smiled, "Are there any more?"

Seeing Boss Shao's expression, Cheng Xia also smiled, "Actually, I've thought that there would be fake rose sauce, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Boss Shao waved the middle-aged man to go down. Cheng Xia saw the figure of the man leave the room, and closed the door considerately, and suddenly chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Boss Shao didn't know why.

"The person just now, I'm afraid Boss Shao came here to test me on purpose?" Cheng Xia asked affirmatively.

"How do you know?" Boss Shao didn't hide it, on the contrary, he showed a little appreciation.

"First of all, the uncle's behavior just now is not like an ordinary hawker. Of course, this is just my intuition, guess, and feeling. Second, every time I ask him, he always glances at Boss Shao intentionally or unintentionally. He was asking Boss Shao what he meant, so he should think about how to say it. Again," Cheng Xia suddenly paused.

"Why didn't you say it?" Boss Shao asked.

Cheng Xia lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Again, last time I only brought eight porcelain jars of rose sauce, Boss Shao would definitely not sell rose sauce to the market, so how could ordinary vendors learn to imitate it? And , There are only eight cans, how many people can know the rose sauce in total, and the market has not yet opened, how can someone imitate my rose sauce with roses so quickly, so I guess, this should be Boss Shao’s people.”

"You are very smart." Boss Shao nodded and praised appreciatively, "Yes, he is indeed my subordinate, and I asked him to do the things, just to test you and see if you are smart enough to deal with these possible problems.”

Cheng Xia blushed, it was really straightforward, "Boss Shao also said that it's normal in business, I don't know if I have passed Boss Shao's test?"

"Sit," Boss Shao pointed to the chair behind Cheng Xia, "Now, we can formally discuss the issue of Rose Sauce."

Cheng Xia knew that the deal could be concluded, and he relaxed a little, "Boss Shao, I have nearly a thousand jars of rose sauce, but some of them still need to be pickled for a long time, so I can't guarantee that every It can bring you a lot." Cheng Xia decided to explain her own situation first.

Boss Shao nodded his head to express his understanding, "Actually, it's good that this thing doesn't see much more." Boss Shao threw out a sentence lightly, and then explained, "Let's put it this way, I sold all the rose sauce from the Eight Porcelain Altars to the county. The ladies here, and we didn’t take the initiative to recommend them, but they went into the grocery store to buy rouge powder, first smelled it, and then wanted to know what it was, and then they began to understand rose sauce. Wait until the guy puts the rose sauce After talking about all the advantages, they bought it without any hesitation. The eight porcelain jars were sold out soon, but there were still people who came to buy rose sauce after hearing the introduction from others. It's a pity, and they all told the buddies that if she enters the rose sauce next time, she must leave a few porcelain jars for her. In this way, our business will not only open up, but also because of the scarcity, everyone is looking forward to it, and even bought it. And there is a feeling of making money, which means that if they only sell a few porcelain jars each time in the future, let these ladies know that this thing is very rare, and if they miss it, they will have to wait for several days, so they should stock up on several porcelain jars. altar."

Cheng Xia looked at Boss Shao in shock, the disbelief in his eyes was obvious, so obvious that Boss Shao unconsciously looked down at himself, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Cheng Xia smiled embarrassedly knowing that she had lost her composure just now.She just looked at Boss Shao like that because she was shocked.Boss Shao said so much, in fact, in general, it can be summed up in one sentence: take advantage of the audience's scarcity psychology in marketing.

In the 21st century, Cheng Xia saw a lot of small shops with a lot of business in some old towns, and there were often long queues at the door, but when it was the turn of some people, the shopkeeper told them that there were no more items, and they could only order food if they wanted to eat. come again.

Those who want to eat think it's a pity, but they don't want to let go of this delicacy, so they can only wait in line earlier next time.In fact, is it really gone? Not necessarily, you can do it now.Stores take advantage of the scarcity psychology of the audience. Rare things are more expensive. Often, when there are few things, the audience will be more curious and interested.

Cheng Xia didn't expect Boss Shao to have such insights. No wonder Zhu Youzhao would send him to be the behind-the-scenes boss of these three shops. He is more like a housekeeper, taking care of everything big and small, but he can always find the most important things from it. place.

"What did you say?"

Hearing Boss Shao's question, Cheng Xia realized that he had muttered out loud, so he quickly said, "I think Boss Shao is more like a housekeeper, who can always handle all kinds of things well."

I don't know if it was Cheng Xia's illusion, but when she saw Boss Shao heard the word "housekeeper", her body trembled obviously, as if she was a little panicked and fearful.

Cheng Xia felt a little sorry, so he quickly changed the subject, "I'm sorry, Boss Shao, but will my rose sauce be sold at Tianyou grocery store in the future?"

Boss Shao came back to his senses in an instant, and smiled unnaturally, "Yes, according to what you said, one tael of silver for each porcelain altar. From now on, we will settle the amount on the spot when you come to each market."

Cheng Xia was secretly happy, she suddenly felt that she was going to make a fortune, and the sweet dream she had in the chili field had actually come true.

Boss Shao fell into habitual silence again, and Cheng Xia knew that he was immersed in memories again, so he quietly withdrew.When they reached the first floor, they handed over all the porcelain altars they brought to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper had already received Boss Shao's instructions, so he quickly counted the porcelain altars and gave Cheng Xia 12 taels of silver.

Holding the heavy silver, Cheng Xia suddenly asked curiously in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, how much silver do you sell for this jar of rose sauce?"

Seeing Cheng Xia's mysterious look, the shopkeeper thought it was funny, so he hooked his hands like her, and asked Cheng Xia to come closer, "The boss said five taels of silver for a porcelain jar."

Ya bah bah, profiteer!Seeing the shopkeeper's deliberate smiling face, Cheng Xia was so angry that his teeth were itchy. They were really good at business, and they made a difference of four taels of silver from it without any effort, ah, it's really annoying.

Cheng Xia murmured for a while, which caused the shopkeeper to chuckle, thinking that this girl is really cute.

Cheng Xia knew that Boss Shao's pricing was right, just like in a modern shopping mall, maybe a coat is 99 yuan and no one wants it, but if you set the price at 590 yuan, someone will buy it.

Cheng Xia bought some fresh jujubes at the grocery store, thinking that she would go back and send them to Dahua later.After going out, I went to the bank to deposit silver, and then went back to find Uncle Tian's ox cart.

It was only half noon, but all the people who came to the market had already arrived, so Uncle Tian didn't wait much, and drove away directly.

Passing by Yang's house, Cheng Xia didn't stop, and let Uncle Tian go forward. When he arrived at Cheng's house, he thanked Uncle Tian and jumped out of the car.

Just as Cheng Xia was about to enter the door, she saw a heart-piercing cry coming from a distance. She looked towards the source of the sound in a panic, and saw a slender figure chasing the black shadows in front of her like crazy.

Cheng Xia narrowed her eyes and chased after him without any hesitation.
