Chapter 246 is completely sold out!
She gently shook the silver in her hand, blinked twice, and hinted to her daughter that she had accepted the loose silver and wouldn't be giving change.
Lin Xiaotang was very clever; she immediately understood her mother's hint.
So she quickly squeezed through, personally collected the money, and gave change to the customers.
Because of the buy-two-get-one-free promotion, most of the dozens of pig trotters were gone, leaving only about twenty.
When the other person saw that the other had actually bought it, his eyes darted around, and he clearly lacked confidence. He turned around and wanted to leave, completely lacking the toughness he had shown when he was arguing with the other person.
As soon as they saw him trying to leave, they stopped him and deliberately made a fuss.
"Hey, hey, don't go! Didn't you two just say that whoever didn't buy was a dog and had to bark like a dog? They've already bought it, so you should buy it too. If you don't buy it, you'd better bark at everyone right now, or we won't let you pass."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man felt extremely embarrassed, his face turning bright red. He didn't know whether to leave or stay.
Lin Xiaotang said, "There aren't many braised pig's trotters left, so everyone definitely won't want to miss out on the discounted price. If you want to buy some, hurry up and buy them."
She said to the man who wanted to leave but couldn't, "Uncle, why don't you have a couple too?"
The man blushed and reluctantly took out a string of copper coins, counting out eighty-eight coins. He had just reached out his hand when he thought about it carefully and felt that spending eighty-eight coins to buy one was a bit of a waste. So, he suppressed his heartache and counted out another eighty-eight coins, handing them to Lin Xiaotang with a pained expression.
"Hey, buy two get one free, pack up three for me!"
Before Lin Xiaotang could speak, Liu Cai'er quickly wrapped up three sticks and handed them to the man.
He took the braised pig's trotter, brought it to his nose and took a deep sniff; the spicy aroma made his mouth water.
He was reluctant to spend over a hundred coins at once, but upon smelling the fragrant aroma of the braised pork, he couldn't resist any longer. He immediately opened the oil paper bag and began to bite into the pig's trotter.
The aroma of braised pig's trotters filled the air, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth. His eyes lit up, and he began to gnaw on them even faster.
He stood there in the crowd, munching on his food while exclaiming, "Mmm, delicious, so delicious! Oily but not greasy, soft and chewy, the taste is absolutely amazing!"
The man who had just argued with him and bought it first, seeing how exaggeratedly he was eating, like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, scoffed and said disdainfully, "Ha, look at that pathetic thing, like he hasn't eaten meat in centuries, it's really embarrassing!"
He thought to himself, "Is it really that exaggerated? It does smell good, but is it really that delicious?"
The man, who was happily munching on his food, glanced up at the person who had mocked him and retorted, "Hmph, if you're so capable, try munching on it now. If you say it's not tasty, I'll change my surname to yours."
The man, skeptical, opened his own and took a bite. He was shocked and immediately took another bite. After chewing slowly for a while to savor the taste, he suddenly started gnawing on it, just like the man before.
The two men, who had just been competing, were now moving in unison, their actions astonishing everyone present.
Those who had been watching and egging them on, seeing the two of them devour their food like a whirlwind, completely disregarding their image, smacked their lips and drooled, each of them struggling to hold back their saliva.
Someone asked the man who was eating, "How is it? Is it good or not?"
"Of course it's delicious! Why would we be eating it so non-stop? This braised pig's trotter may not have much meat, but the flavor is absolutely amazing. No wonder restaurants sell this stuff. It melts in your mouth, and the taste is simply indescribable. This is the first time in all my years that I've eaten something so delicious. It's fragrant and delicious!"
Seeing the two men giving them free advertising, practically a live mukbang, Lin Xiaotang thought to herself, "Now everyone will surely stop hesitating, right?"
So she smiled and said, "These two uncles came in with everyone. If you just heard me say it was delicious, you wouldn't really believe me, but now that these two uncles are saying it, you should believe me, right?"
The people in the shop shifted their gaze from the two men gnawing on braised pig's trotters to the few remaining braised pig's trotters on the wooden counter, swallowing hard.
Someone couldn't hold back any longer. He immediately took out his money bag, counted out more than a hundred copper coins, handed them to Lin Xiaotang, and said domineeringly, "Give me three too. If you like them, I'll tell you guys about them when I get home."
Lin Xiaotang took the money and said happily, "Auntie, quickly pack three for him."
"okay."
Liu Cai'er deftly packed the braised pig's trotters, and Lin Xiaotang carefully counted the copper coins: 176 coins, not a single coin was missing.
She happily handed the copper coin to her mother, who then put it in the money box.
The customer took his portion of braised pig's trotters, immediately found a seat, and began to devour them quickly.
The shop was crowded with customers, but there were only a few tables and chairs available. The other two customers moved over and sat down to eat together.
The remaining customers, seeing the three of them devouring the food without stopping, could no longer remain calm and began to buy more.
There were only a dozen or so left, enough for only four or five people. Lin Xiaotang immediately said, "Everyone, line up. There are only five portions left. First come, first served. If you can't buy any today, come early tomorrow."
Upon hearing that there were only five portions left, everyone immediately rushed to the front of the line. Some stretched their arms out to be the first to buy, while others lined up further back, afraid that they wouldn't be able to buy any if they were in the back. Everyone started arguing.
Liu Cai'er quickly wrapped it up and handed it to Lin Xiaotang. Lin Xiaotang received one unit of money and gave one unit of money.
In the blink of an eye, all five portions were sold out, not a single one left!
Those who rushed to the front to buy the braised pig's trotters smiled and squeezed through the crowd, leaving the shop satisfied.
Those customers who hesitated for too long and ended up not getting a good spot in line sighed heavily in disappointment.
"Sigh, I hesitated for just a little while, and the braised pig's trotters were gone in an instant. If I want to buy some, I'll have to come earlier tomorrow. Honestly, can't they braise more so that everyone can buy them whenever they want?"
"Yes, how can you run a business without having enough supplies? We wanted to buy some, but they were all gone. Do they even know how to do business?"
Liu and Liu Cai'er also felt that they hadn't prepared enough braised pig's trotters. There were still so many people who wanted to buy them, but the shop was already sold out. It was such a waste not to make money when they could, especially considering the 100 taels they had rented for the shop.
Liu immediately said, "Please be patient, everyone. We will definitely prepare more tomorrow. As long as you like it, you can buy it every day."
Liu Cai'er nodded vigorously and echoed, "Yes, today is the first day of business, and there are so many people coming to buy. In just a short while, we sold out. It shows how delicious our braised pig's trotters are. You should come earlier tomorrow to buy them."
The two sisters shared the same thought: they believed they should prepare more for tomorrow, as it would definitely bring in more money.
Lin Xiaotang, however, did not think so. She felt that there were already several restaurants in Dushui County selling braised pig's trotters. The braised pig's trotters sold in her shop and Wanhe Restaurant were made by them. If she sold them too cheaply, she would definitely not make much money.
We should implement scarcity marketing; only when people are scrambling to buy something will they think it's good!
