One Piece of Food

Chapter 9 The Surprise of Parents

Seeing the back of Xiao Erniang leaving, Rao Mingyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.It doesn't matter if she is angry or not, as long as she doesn't bother herself anymore.

As for Xiao Erniang's ridicule before leaving, Rao Mingyang didn't care.He could think of Xiao Erniang going back and preaching that she didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and raised the price of mung bean noodles to 100 yuan a bowl.However, he is not afraid.Facts will prove that some people are willing to pay for a bowl of mung bean noodles at 100 yuan.

It was only the first day of the price increase today, and 10 bowls were sold.Later, as the reputation spreads farther and farther, and there are more and more customers, it will definitely turn around and make more and more profits.At that time, houses, cars, and women will not be a problem.As for Xiao Erniang and her niece, just stay where it's cool, I don't have time to care about them!
After tidying up the kitchen and the shop, Mingyang Rao closed the door. Mingyang went to the vegetable market to replenish some ingredients, and then came back and packed all the remaining mung bean flour, crispy meat, and chicken soup and took them home.He will not use the leftovers today, and will use fresh ones tomorrow.

I rode my bike back home slowly, parked the car, and brought chicken soup, mung bean flour, crispy meat and other things in a tin pot into the house, and my mother Tian Wenying asked in surprise: "What's the matter, what are you doing with it?" ? Put the unsold ones in the refrigerator, and continue to sell them tomorrow!"

Rao Mingyang smiled and said: "These things are no longer usable. Tomorrow I will make soup again and order fresh mung bean flour and crispy meat. I left these mung bean flour today at home. You will have breakfast tomorrow, and the chicken soup and crispy meat will be used for cooking. Let's have dinner!"

Tian Wenying muttered "What a waste", then suddenly realized, and asked, "What chicken soup? Didn't you make big bone soup? Why did you change it to chicken soup? Isn't the cost increased again?"

Rao Mingyang explained that he used chicken soup to sell mung bean noodles and raised the price to 100 yuan a bowl, which shocked Tian Wenying.

Tian Wenying is well aware of his son's cooking skills. Can he make a bowl of crispy meat, soybean milk and mung bean powder worth 100 yuan?Tian Wenying expressed deep doubts.

Rao Mingyang explained in detail that the ingredients he used to make the soup were free-range country chickens, which were expensive, and the ingredients were also the best quality shiitake mushrooms, red dates, ginger, peas and other things.The mung bean powder is also the most expensive Wangjiafang mung bean powder, and the Laoganma chili used for chili.These best and most expensive ingredients are put together to make mung bean powder that can sell for 100 yuan a bowl, and some people are willing to eat it.

But even so, how can you sell it for less than 100 yuan a bowl?

Tian Wenying asked this question, but Rao Mingyang couldn't say about the broth essence powder sold by the system, so he could only lie and make up, saying that he found someone to buy an exclusive secret broth recipe, and there were some expensive ingredients in the soup.Moreover, the rich eat the best and most expensive, and don't care how much a bowl costs.Whether it costs 50 yuan a bowl or 100 yuan a bowl, it doesn't make much difference to the rich.

Tian Wenying was deceived, and instead of pursuing the price of 100 yuan a bowl, she worriedly asked Rao Mingyang if he had any business today, and how many bowls he had sold, and Rao Mingyang answered truthfully.

"That's good. So, there are still people eating such an expensive breakfast?" Tian Wenying asked.

Rao Mingyang replied: "Of course!"

Tian Wenying was still a little worried, and finally said: "I hope there will be such a good business tomorrow!"

Rao Mingyang said confidently: "Don't worry, there must be some people who are not short of money who are willing to come to eat. Today, two people had breakfast in the morning and came to eat mung bean noodles for lunch at noon. It proves that the food I cooked is good. There are always people who are not afraid of expensive food.”

Then, after Rao Mingyang took a shower, he helped his mother look after the shop, while Tian Wenying went to make vegetables.

After 6 o'clock, Rao Mingyang's father Rao Dexin came back.

As soon as Rao Dexin entered the door, he asked Rao Mingyang: "Mingyang, I heard in the teahouse that there is a restaurant in Huayuan Street that has raised the price of crispy meat, soybean milk and mung bean powder to 100 yuan a bowl. The boss is named Rao Mingyang, is it you?"

Rao Mingyang nodded and said, "It's me!"

Hearing Rao Mingyang's frank admission, Rao Dexin frowned. He was told that Rao Mingyang was his son's acquaintance in the teahouse just now, and he laughed a lot.Therefore, Rao Dexin said angrily: "Everyone else sells a bowl for 8 yuan and 10 yuan. What right do you have to raise the price? You even raised it to 100 yuan a bowl. Do you think you are the royal chef of the palace?"

Rao Dexin is tall and has a primary school education. When he was young, he farmed, sold vegetables, worked as a carpenter, mixed society, opened a casino, fought, went to jail, worked as a migrant worker, drove a car, set up a stall, opened a food stall, worked as an intermediary, learned management, worked as a contractor, Being a boss has a lot of experience.It can be said that he has tasted the sweetness and bitterness of the world, and has endured all kinds of hardships. He has been tempered to steel, and he is very stubborn in speaking and doing things. It is difficult for others to change his opinion.

In what he said to Rao Mingyang, he ate more salt than Rao Mingyang ate, and he crossed more bridges than Rao Mingyang walked.No matter what, Rao Mingyang had to discuss with him and get his consent.

Even if he is not in good health now, Rao Dexin speaks with full of energy and momentum.In his words, even if he can't convince you with reason, he will overwhelm you with his voice.

Before the age of 25, the mentally rebellious Rao Mingyang was very dissatisfied with his father's patriarchal style, and often quarreled with his father.But now Rao Mingyang is 28 years old, he has matured a lot psychologically, and he has also felt his father's temper, so he will not easily conflict with his father again.

After hearing his father's angry questioning, Rao Mingyang did not speak back tit-for-tat, but explained softly: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the people in the teahouse, although I sell it expensive, but the taste is good, I have already sold it today I ordered 10 bowls, and the profit was several hundred. It’s just that I lost a little today because the chicken soup was not used up.”

Sure enough, Rao Dexin, who thought that his son was messing around and couldn't sell a bowl, was stunned when he heard Rao Mingyang said that he had sold 10 bowls today, with a profit of several hundred yuan.

After a few seconds, Rao Dexin lowered his tone and said in a questioning tone: "You tell me honestly, what's going on!"

Then, Rao Mingyang explained to him the best and most expensive ingredients he used and the set of rhetoric he used to deceive his mother, saying that for rich people, it doesn’t matter whether a bowl of breakfast is 50 yuan or 100 yuan. As long as it tastes good, they are willing to eat it.

Although Rao Dexin has a lot of experience in the society, Rao Mingyang can't keep up with his flattery.But when it comes to the study of this pricing psychology, he doesn't know anything about it.Hearing that Rao Mingyang said it clearly and logically, it was quite similar to that, so I didn't go into it further.

In the end, when the family of three began to eat and the dishes cooked with the chicken soup brought back by Rao Mingyang whetted the appetite of the old couple, the old couple completely believed that Rao Mingyang really made extraordinary chicken soup.

After eating, Rao Dexin smiled and said to Rao Mingyang: "Call me tomorrow morning, I will go to your store together and check it out for you!"

Rao Mingyang naturally wouldn't object, but instead said in a calm tone: "You have driven a food stall and have more experience than me. It would be the best if you could help me take a look and check for omissions."
