She recognized the person that Manager Su had sent at a glance.
When they supplied braised pig trotters to Wanhe Restaurant before, they had met Wu Yu. However, because Wu Yu was introverted, shy, and didn't like to talk, they didn't have much interaction.
It must be said that Manager Su has a good eye and knows how to judge people; the people she chooses are also very stable and reliable.
It was Wu Yu's first time visiting the braised pig's trotters shop jointly owned by Manager Su and the Lin family. Feeling a little embarrassed, he nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Xiao Tang."
Lin Xiaotang waved her hand and said with a smile, "Oh, don't call me Miss. We're just ordinary country folk. If you work at the pig's trotter shop from now on, we're family. Just call me Xiaotang."
Wu Yu saw that Lin Xiaotang was a cheerful and easy-going girl, and he gradually became less reserved.
"Manager Su said I need to go shopping with you. Do you have any plans? When do we leave?"
Lin Xiaotang said, "Let's sell out the braised pig's trotters in the shop this morning. After lunch, we'll hire a horse-drawn carriage and go to several counties to see if there are any butcher shops that can supply us with raw pig's trotters. If there are, we won't have to run around. If not, we'll have to buy them ourselves."
Wu Yu is a capable man. Even if he has to run back and forth, he can persevere. After all, it doesn't matter where he works. As long as it's a job assigned to him by Manager Su, he won't complain.
"I'm fine with anything. I'll follow your arrangements."
Liu Cai'er quickly finished packing and saw the young man arranged by Manager Su carrying luggage. She reminded him, "Xiao Tang, quickly take him to the second floor to arrange accommodation and let him settle down first."
"Okay, Auntie, I understand."
After Lin Xiaotang helped Wu Yu settle in, the two came down from the second floor, where customers were already entering the shop.
Liu, heavily pregnant, offered to help, but Liu Cai'er immediately sent her back to the backyard.
"Feng'er, Manager Su has arranged for someone to come today. There are enough staff in the shop. You should go back and rest. There are many people here. Be careful not to bump into anything. I was worried about you all morning yesterday."
Ms. Liu did not refuse. She was now quite far along in her pregnancy and needed to be careful. If she bumped into something and it affected the baby, it would be a loss.
She obediently replied, "Okay, then I'll head back. I'll leave the shop to you."
"Don't worry, Xiao Tang is here, and Wu Yu has worked in a restaurant before, so he's more experienced than us."
Because of the buy-two-get-one-free promotion yesterday, those who bought it said it was delicious and confirmed that the taste was the same as that sold at Wanhe Restaurant, very authentic. Before the promotion ended, everyone came back to buy more.
Some passersby saw many people heading towards the newly opened braised pig's trotters shop and joined in the fun.
The braised pig's trotters were quickly snapped up!
Today, the braised pig's trotters sold out even earlier than yesterday. Some customers who didn't get to buy any were unhappy and were making a scene in the shop, refusing to leave.
A middle-aged man with a somewhat plump appearance said in a loud voice, "Your store is not doing business fairly. You clearly said there was a buy-two-get-one-free promotion, but you only gave us this little bit. It's gone before we even bought anything. Aren't you just fooling us? If you don't want to give it away, don't make such a fuss. We wouldn't have bothered coming in here..."
Why does he keep doing all this nonsense and ruin people's good moods for no reason?
When the portly man voiced his opinion, some people started to chime in, "That's right, we came here because we heard about your buy-two-get-one-free promotion, but you've already sold out. Aren't you just deliberately trying to trick us?"
"No, you are so untrustworthy. If you don't give us an explanation today, this shop can forget about staying in this county any longer."
"Give us an explanation! We lined up to buy them, but they're all gone! We're not happy about not being able to buy them!"
"It's, it's..."
Everyone started shouting, making the shop very lively, and more and more people kept coming over to join in the fun.
Upon seeing this, Wu Yu immediately shielded Lin Xiaotang and Liu Cai'er behind him, fearing that the guests might get too excited and accidentally injure them in the shoving.
He turned around and whispered, "Xiao Tang, these people are all here for the buy-two-get-one-free promotion. They're here for the cheap price, and a lot of them are just here for the fun. If we don't give them an explanation and appease them today, even if they don't do anything outrageous, they might still spread rumors that our store is dishonest. If that damages our reputation, that won't be good."
There are many wealthy families in the county, and even more ordinary families. Everyone is busy day after day, year after year, and they try to save money wherever they can. It's perfectly normal to have this mentality when there's a bargain to be had.
Some people benefited, while others did not. Those who did not benefit were bound to feel resentful, and when everyone was dissatisfied, they started to complain. He had seen this kind of thing many times.
That's human nature for most people!
The crowd was noisy and crowded; the store was packed with people, and it was extremely chaotic.
Lin Xiaotang thought Wu Yu made sense. She felt that during the event, a smaller quantity would indeed cause customer dissatisfaction.
After all, most people come because of the reputation of having the same recipe and taste as Wanhe Restaurant, and they also come because of the promotion. They certainly won't be happy if they can't buy it.
She shouted, "Everyone, please quiet down, calm down, and listen to me."
Someone in the crowd complained, "Is there no one else in the shop? They're sending out a little girl to fill in. What good are her words? Can she solve any problems for us?"
Seeing that everyone looked down on Lin Xiaotang, thinking she was too young and incompetent, Wu Yu immediately spoke up for her.
"Everyone, please calm down. Don't underestimate our young mistress just because she's young. She's a shrewd businesswoman. She played a crucial role in getting our braised pig's trotters shop up and running. Even Manager Su from our Wanhe Restaurant has high praise for her."
Upon hearing "Wanhe Restaurant," some people looked closely at Wu Yu and recognized him as a waiter at Wanhe Restaurant.
"Hey, aren't you a waiter from Wanhe Restaurant? What are you doing here?"
"Yeah, you were doing so well at the restaurant, and then you got poached by the braised pig's trotters shop?"
Wu Yu smiled shyly and explained, "Everyone has misunderstood. This braised pig's trotter shop is jointly owned by our Manager Su and the Lin family. It's just that our manager is busy and doesn't come here often, so the Lin family manages the shop. As for me, I just happened to be sent here by the manager to work."
"It's co-owned with Manager Su, isn't it?"
The anger gradually subsided, because Wanhe Restaurant had risen rapidly in the county in just one year, becoming the best-selling and most famous restaurant. Everyone admired the owner of Wanhe Restaurant.
However, everyone was extremely dissatisfied because they couldn't buy braised pig's trotters at a much lower price than those in restaurants. They wouldn't be happy until this issue was resolved.
"Since it was co-founded by Manager Su, and Wanhe Restaurant is doing so well, and Manager Su has the resources, why are you being so stingy, offering such a small amount for the promotion? Aren't you just making a fool of everyone?"
Wu Yu sighed, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Lin Xiaotang.
"Because of the new store opening and the event, it's inevitable that it will sell out quickly. In addition, as everyone knows, all the meat shops in a county only have a few dozen raw pig trotters. If you want to prepare more, you have to go to several counties."
We're already working on resolving the ingredient issue, so we can extend the event for two more days. That way, everyone can definitely enjoy the discounts.
