Hearing this, Lin Muxue was not at all happy, but looked worried.
When Wei Ming saw this, he suddenly asked in confusion:
"Miss Mu Xue, why are you looking like this?"
Lin Muxue bit her lip and said with a troubled expression:
"Mr. Wei, although our business at Yuxianglou is booming, the diners coming and going these days are all poor people. What they care about is the portion, followed by the taste."
"Besides, since your soy sauce needs to be brewed, it will cost a lot of food."
Lin Muxue's words made Wei Ming fall into deep thought.
Her worries are not unreasonable. Although soy sauce can make food delicious, it consumes an astronomical amount of food. It is better to use it to make wine, which can provide a stable income and ensure a living.
Wei Ming thought for a moment, and finally decided to take the risk and give it a try.
He raised his eyes to look at the crowd, his eyes fell on Lin Muxue, and he said:
"What Miss Mu Xue said makes sense, but now we have no other choice. We must take the risk! Otherwise, we will have to watch those people bully us to the threshold of Yuxiang Tower. At that time, we will have no choice but to let them slaughter us.
!"
"Master Wei, are you sure you want to do this?"
Lin Muxue frowned and reminded.
She didn't understand why Wei Ming did this. There was obviously no chance of winning, but Wei Ming insisted on trying. This was really incredible.
Wei Ming nodded and replied seriously:
"Yes, not only that, I also plan to sell meat and fish dishes, and at vegetarian prices!"
"What!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison, staring at Wei Ming in disbelief.
If the meat and fish dishes are sold at low prices as vegetarian dishes, I am afraid that Yuxiang Restaurant will be overwhelmed by those diners in a few days.
"Master Wei, are you crazy?"
Father Lin was anxious. He shook his head and said sharply:
"Wouldn't it be like giving it to the diners for free? We at Yuxiang Tower are already poor and cannot afford to go through such trouble."
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Wei Ming continued to explain:
"Actually, I have already thought of a countermeasure just now, which is to replace all these expensive meat and fish dishes with sewer!"
"Going into the water?"
Hearing this, everyone present looked confused, except for Xiao Que's sensitive eyes, which shone with a strange light.
"Ming Gong."
Xiaoque called out, as if to remind him something.
"Ming Gong, this water is a dirty thing that even street vendors despise. It is usually used to feed poultry."
When he talks about sewage, he refers to the intestines, internal organs, etc. Because it has an abnormal fishy smell and contains filth, it is called sewage. And this kind of sewage is not something that most farmers are willing to eat, only beggars or poultry.
Only then will they be willing to eat.
Wei Ming naturally knew how difficult it was to buy water, but he didn't care about that much now. He only hoped that this could help Yuxianglou tide over the crisis.
After hearing this and Xiao Que's words, Father Lin quickly realized what the so-called water was, and immediately reprimanded:
"Master Wei, are you crazy? How dare you sell those dirty sewers to diners?"
Lin Muxue also persuaded Wei Ming anxiously:
"Master Wei, you must not do this. If word spreads, our Yuxiang Tower's reputation will be ruined!"
It’s not surprising that Mr. Lin did this. After all, it was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that a large number of condiments were introduced, and then it gradually became popular among the people.
But in this era, there is only a little coarse salt for seasoning, which is not enough to cook delicious food. In addition, the water is extremely fishy and there are no good cooking techniques. Once diners taste this kind of water, they will definitely feel disgusted.
Wei Ming smiled and waved his hands, comforting Lin Muxue and his father and said:
"Don't worry, you two. I have my own reasons for doing this. I also believe that everyone is not a fool and will not easily try such a bad food."
He paused and then said:
"So, why not make the offal available for free on the first day! People from all over the city can come and eat it! Let everyone try my offal made with soy sauce, so that the name of our Yuxianglou specialty food can be spread. go out."
Wei Ming once again made a shocking statement.
Lin Muxue's soft eyes widened, obviously not expecting that Wei Ming would come up with this method.
When Father Lin heard this, he was so angry that his beard stood up, but due to Wei Ming's status, he did not get angry in the end.
But his face was still very ugly, and he snorted coldly:
"Master Wei, although the price is cheap, how can you let people try it for free?"
"Although allowing people to try it for free can increase the reputation of Yuxianglou, if Wei Ming's dish fails to attract diners, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving away money in vain?"
Father Lin's tone was full of worry.
Wei Ming naturally knew that Father Lin was doing it for the good of Yuxianglou, but his determination remained firm and he said:
"Don't worry, I can only eat one serving per person, so it won't be wasted!"
"This will not only allow people to have a taste of the deliciousness of my sesame, but it will not cost too much."
After hearing this, Father Lin compromised slightly, but he still couldn't help but complained in a low voice:
"How can such low-quality food be sold? It is simply a disgrace to our Yuxianglou!"
Wei Ming didn't mind Father Lin's opinion at all and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter, as long as someone buys it, you'll make a profit!"
"As long as our reputation as cheap meat and fish food gets out and diners like it, then all the rumors and rumors will be in vain."
Seeing that Wei Ming insisted on this, Father Lin couldn't say anything more, but he still suggested:
"Then Mr. Wei will make a pot of sesame water himself, and let's taste it together!"
Father Lin's suggestion was immediately recognized by everyone.
But Wei Ming looked troubled.
He nodded slightly and smiled bitterly:
"My soy sauce is still being brewed. I'm afraid it will take some time to be ready. Then it will be out for everyone to taste. What do you think?"
Everyone also knew Wei Ming's difficulties, so they didn't force anything and expressed their understanding.
"Then just follow what Mr. Wei said. However, I can tell you that if the effect cannot be achieved, the diners will not be allowed to enjoy the benefits in vain!"
Father Lin reminded.
Wei Ming nodded and smiled:
"You can rest assured that I, Wei Ming, never engage in loss-making business, and I will never let everyone suffer in vain."
But then, he thought of another thing.
"By the way, let's keep this secret from the diners first and don't let other people know about it. If it spreads, I'm afraid it will affect Yuxianglou's business."
Wei Ming wants to take advantage of this opportunity to let Yuxiang Tower rise without being controlled by others, and this is his only chance.
After hearing this, Father Lin nodded and agreed.
"In this case, Mr. Wei, please prepare quickly!"
Wei Ming agreed with a smile, and then walked into the yard to check on the soy sauce brewing situation.
After he left, Father Lin sighed and shook his head helplessly.
In this way, Wei Ming and Xiaoque began to concentrate on brewing soy sauce in the backyard. But as the two left, Father Lin and Lin Muxue did not feel rushed, but felt very relaxed.
That was precisely because people came to Yuxiang Tower every day to spread rumors and slander Yuxiang Tower, resulting in the loss of diners and a decline in business. Therefore, the two of them were happy and leisurely. Lin Muxue and Father Lin also turned a blind eye to these rumors and did not follow them.
Arguments, even hearing the rumors, did not affect their state of mind at all.
