"Su Ji" Jam Shop has been "brewing" for two years, and the jam here has been sold all over the country.
However, because it is only available from the beginning of summer to the end of autumn, and each batch of goods is limited, demand often exceeds supply.
Even in the capital, many wealthy families had quarrels over buying a new jam series, and it was not uncommon for the two parties to even fight.
There is no way around it, this marmalade has a really delicate texture, varied flavors, and is not too sweet or too sour. It can always hit the taste buds of most people with its sweet and sour taste.
Originally, the majority of "Su Kee's" marmalade customers were female customers, but this marmalade is sweet and sour and is suitable for all ages. What's more, the shopkeeper behind it previously published a limited edition "recipe" to tell customers how to mix it. The jam and other delicacies are more delicious, giving the jam more ways to eat, and people are rushing to buy it even more.
It's not that no one asked the shopkeeper behind it to increase sales, but for some unknown reason, the production of this jam has never increased. It only sells 500 sets per month. When the cold wind blows in autumn, it stops selling. , and continue the next year.
There are five hundred sets of jams, with each set having at least three varieties and up to five varieties at a time. The quantity is not very large.
Even if there are irregular "classic series return" activities, the supply exceeds the demand. What's more, apart from the capital city, there are branches in Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River and Liangzhou in the north. Several stores share this not generous "total amount", and the shopkeepers of the three stores want to show their arms and roll up their sleeves every time. Fight just to win more sales.
It has been like this for two consecutive years, and this year is already the third year. From the initial enthusiastic appeal, to the angry protest, to now, probably the so-called "again, again, twice, not three again", everyone has been influenced by this "Su Ji" shopkeeper The weird temper made me lose my temper.
Of course, customers often "complain" because they can't buy it. The shops that also deal in desserts have secretly figured out that since there is such a big gap in the market for "Suji" jam, isn't the opportunity for them just coming?
As a result, all kinds of imitation "jams" popped up one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain, with varying quality and mixed reputations.
But one thing is the same - no matter how hard these later imitators of Dongshi "struggled", they never achieved the rich and delicate jam taste of "Su Ji".
After all, most people only think of adding sugar or honey to the jam to adjust the taste. Adding salt or milk is considered "unique". Adding spices like Su Qingluan's to season it is something that others would never think of.
The core staff at Su Ji have all signed confidentiality agreements, not to mention that only Su Qingluan knows the exact proportion of spices, salt and sugar, so it is impossible to leak the formula.
Not to mention that in addition to the excellent taste and greatly extended shelf life, the packaging of each series of "Suji" jams has different ingenuity, and occasionally there are so-called "limited editions" and "hidden editions", many of which Customers are willing to spend money to buy jam because of the exquisite and novel outer packaging - after all, the average price of a jar is two taels of gold, and those who can buy it are not ordinary people.
As the real shopkeeper and "technical shareholder" of "Su Ji", Su Qingluan's life is becoming more and more prosperous now.
Not to mention the generous turnover that comes into the account every month because of "Su Ji", let's just say that the dividends paid by "Hongfu Building" every month because of Su Qingluan's new dishes are enough for the Su family to have enough food and clothing. .
Now Su Qingluan has purchased his own "Suji" shop on the "Commercial Street" which was the most prosperous in the town before but was still unaffordable at the time. There is no need to rent the Xie family's shop anymore, and naturally there is no need to pay additional rent. .
Originally, Su Qingluan felt that doing business with partners like the Xie family was "seeking skin from a tiger." After all, she was just an inconspicuous village girl, and she really couldn't afford to hedge against such a wealthy family. If she suffered a loss, she would probably have to hold on. Nose recognition.
However, what she didn't expect was that as the cooperation time became longer and longer, especially in the past six months, the "Xie Mansion" that she had always thought of as arrogant had become more "humble and low-key" for some reason. .
At first, Su Qingluan just felt that the other party was very happy and dedicated in maintaining the "Suji" brand or paying the advance payment.
But this was something that one of the partners should do as a matter of course, so she didn't take it particularly to heart.
However, recently, while "Su Kee" has been imitated, there are also people selling their own inferior jam under the name "Su Kee" to suppress the reputation of "Su Kee".
This incident happened at the Hangzhou branch, so Su Qingluan didn't know about it at first.
However, the Xie Mansion is different from Su Qingluan, the commander-in-chief. There are shops in various places, and naturally there are corresponding manpower. Not only did they sue the fake "Su Ji" shop and fine them money, they even took the initiative to recover all the turnover of the counterfeit shops. , proactively return it to customers.
When Su Qingluan found out about this through the manager of the Hangzhou branch, she almost exclaimed: At first, the Xie family seemed to be ignoring the shopkeeper, so he was so attentive and thoughtful. Is there any genetic mutation that occurred?
Of course, the sigh was only for a moment, and what needs to be done is still done.
Today, Su Qingluan has just led everyone to finish the last series. Now she no longer needs to wait for the Xie Mansion to send someone to "check whether the taste is acceptable" for any new series she wants to launch - after all, "Su Ji" is now The sign itself.
However, as a partner, Su Qingluan still reserved two or three sets of "early adopter versions" for Xie Mansion each time.
Liu Yunniang has become the female steward next to Su Qingluan in "Su Ji". If Su Qingluan is not temporarily absent for many major matters, and there are no fundamental issues involved, Liu Yunniang basically has the right to make her own decisions.
For example, now, Su Qingluan looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time to go home, but for some reason the person from the Xie Mansion who came to pick up the jam for a taste of this time hadn't come yet.
So Su Qingluan simply asked Liu Yunniang to wait for someone at the door of "Su Ji" while she went to pick up her sister first - this was something she didn't even dare to think about when she first cooperated with Xie Mansion.
"Don't worry Qingluan, I will entertain the people from the Xie Mansion when they come!" Liu Yunniang, wearing a light blue narrow-sleeved cross-collar skirt, said to Su Qingluan with a smile.
Although Su Qingluan had only grown a few inches in the past two years, Liu Yunniang had grown nearly two inches.
She was originally tall, but now she was even taller than an ordinary man.
Now the Liu family has also bought their own small courtyard with three entrances in the town. Although they are not rich and powerful, on the one hand, Su Qingluan has completely transferred the right to use the Xiushui soup recipe to the Liu family, except for occasionally eating it to see if it is available. If something doesn’t taste right, don’t care about anything else;
On the other hand, as a manager at "Su Ji", Liu Yunniang's benefits are much better than those of ordinary employees.
With these two incomes, the Liu family's family gradually became more prosperous, and Liu Yunniang, who was originally dry and thin, also had some flesh on her cheeks.
