Adorable Food Goddess

Manager Zhong's heart skipped a beat and he tentatively asked, "Where's Zi Ming?"

Ye Jiayao smiled lightly and said: "Ziming is now working as an errand in the third young master's house. He is still short of manpower. Let's talk about it later!"

Manager Zhong already understood what the Second Young Madam meant. It seemed that the Second Young Madam was open-hearted! Although Zi Ming is working for the Third Young Master, because Zi Ming is Madam's favorite successor, Zi Ming's contract is still in the house. Unlike others, even the contract was handed over to the Third Young Master. The young mistress simply asked Lin Shu to go to the silk and satin shop to learn how to make some, but did not mention Zi Ming to go there. Why? Not sure yet? This is knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger!

Since the second young lady doesn't want to point it out, it means that she is giving some people a chance. It depends on whether they can understand the second young lady's intentions.

"If anyone asks, just answer as I say." Ye Jiayao said. She likes smart subordinates who are very transparent, but she doesn't like people who think they are smart.

At dinner time, Youshi saw that the Zhou Xing family's expressions were as usual and there seemed to be no movement in the house. Jinxuan seemed to be in a good mood and told her about the business situation of the dessert shop today. I couldn't help but wonder, did Jinxuan really not find the problem?

No, I have to ask Manager Zhong to ask later.

So, after dinner, Mrs. You called Manager Zhong over. After listening to Manager Zhong's reply, Mrs. You smiled happily and asked, "Did the Zhou Xing family ask?"

"I asked, and the young one responded as the second young lady ordered."

Youshi's face became a little ugly again. After a moment of silence, she said, "Okay, if you don't seek death, you won't die. Let the second young lady handle it by herself!"

He waved his hand and told Manager Zhong to step aside.

Mother Sun also had a sad face: "Aren't the Zhou Xing family so heartless? Are they blinding themselves to yellow and white things?"

Youshi sighed: "You have all been with me for many years and have always been in important positions. I don't want to see anyone make a mistake and end up with a bad reputation. But the Second Young Mistress has already reminded me and the methods have been used." It's gentle enough. It's just caring about the old man's face. Who's to blame for not being caring? No one else made a mistake, she was the only one who made a mistake."

After a moment of silence, he added: "I asked why she hasn't done anything since she took over. This is because she wants to test everyone! She quietly watches everyone's every move, who can be used, who can be reused, and who Don't use it. If you boil frogs in warm water like this, those who don't know whether to live or die will be in trouble."

"Yes! Let's just say that the second young lady is not that simple. She has a clear mind." Mother Sun has the same feeling. If you work under such a person and do it seriously, then you don't have to worry about anything. If you are not serious and want to be deceived, that is Not possible.

You Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As long as she can control her, I don't care what method she uses."

She is also someone who can't help but look down upon her. If she can't do something well due to her limited abilities, she won't blame her. But if she wants to fool her master, no matter who she is, she won't tolerate it.

At this moment, Ye Jiayao was invited to have tea by Qiao Mingxiu.

Qiao Mingxiu was recently stimulated by Ye Jiayao's dessert shop and wanted to make a name for herself. After Ye Jiayao's guidance, her embroidery shop's business had improved greatly, but it was not enough, so she specially invited Ye Jiayao to ask for advice on how to do business. .

"Sister-in-law, is there anything special about your membership system? I heard that members are also divided into gold and silver cards. Is it useful?"

Ye Jiayao knew what Qiao Mingxiu had in mind, but as a member of her own family, she should give her some advice, so she didn't hide her secrets and patiently explained to her the benefits of the membership system.

"First of all, the membership system can stabilize the customer base and give people a sense of mystery and inaccessibility. People are curious. The more mysterious it is, the more they want to explore. Women are even more vain and like to compare. If she becomes a member, then I will too. If you want to be one, you can’t fall behind others, right?”

Qiao Mingxiu nodded repeatedly, that's what happened.

Ye Jiayao continued: "In addition, my dessert house is unique, and it is easy to create high-quality products. Even if others want to imitate, they can only imitate others, and it is impossible to achieve the effect of Ye's Dessert House. Members are divided into gold and silver cards. , this is a status symbol, because among a hundred members, there are still high and low levels, which cannot be generalized. So how can we stimulate the consumption of ordinary members? Just design a membership card upgrade system, and you can upgrade after spending as much as you need."

Qiao Mingxiu fell to the ground in admiration and said with starry eyes: "Second brother and sister, where do you get all these fantastic ideas? If you do this, those noble ladies will spend so much money, and you just sit back and wait. Just count the coins."

Ye Jiayao chuckled. In fact, these business concepts are not surprising at all in modern times. The rich have a sense of superiority. They are not short of money. As long as they think the money is worth the money, they don’t feel bad about it. Many high-end clubs have captured this feeling of the rich. kind of psychology.

However, such concepts were still rare in ancient times. Of course, there were some, but they were not explained so thoroughly as Ye Jiayao did.

"The money has been collected, but the service must also keep up, and we must constantly introduce new things, otherwise guests will come and go just to eat these few things, epiglottis. Moreover, we must also set up a series of activities to make everyone happy to eat and play. I'm happy, in fact, this business is not just about selling some snacks." Ye Jiayao said.

Qiao Mingxiu thought about it: "Then can my embroidery workshop use your method?"

Ye Jiayao thought for a while and said, "It can be used, but it's not the same."

Qiao Mingxiu was very curious: "Tell me, what's the difference?"

Ye Jiayao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "First of all, you are not the only embroidery shop in Jinling City. It is better than you. There are many time-honored embroidery shops, so it is difficult to monopolize it. You have to make a good positioning first. , what kind of embroidery workshop do you want to make, a high-end boutique store or just a stable customer?"

Qiao Mingxiu thought about it carefully and said: "It is more difficult to do high-end work. Although I come from the Qiao family, the first embroiderer in Jiangnan, the embroiderers under me cannot reach that level, and the embroidery cutting skills in Jinling City are better than those in our embroidery workshop." Good things exist."

Ye Jiayao nodded, Qiao was very self-aware.

"In fact, it is not difficult to make high-end products. If you are not good at embroidery and tailoring, you can find breakthroughs in other aspects, such as styles and fabrics. As long as the things are new and really good, you will not worry about running out of business. You can create a few high-end styles every season. Customization is a gimmick. There is only one piece of each style, and it is labeled with the label of your embroidery studio to state that it is only one piece. Duplicate ones are all imitations. This requires high embroidery and tailoring skills, but I think the sister-in-law should do it herself. It’s no problem.”

When Qiao Mingxiu heard this, he was like enlightened: "You mean, use this to attract customers?"

"That's right, after your stuff is recognized and your reputation is established, things will be easier to handle later on. You can declare that only gold card members can have the qualifications for high-end customization, and ordinary members can enjoy a series of discounts, etc. Gold card members The threshold must be high, and you can’t join with just a few dollars, because real ladies and daughters will disdain those who have no status and only have a few dollars. Ordinary members don’t have to pay so much attention.” Ye Jiayao analyzed.

The more Qiao Mingxiu heard, the more knowledgeable he became, and the more he thought it was feasible.

"Second younger brother and sister, I used to be a little unconvinced by you. I thought you were just good at cooking. This time I am really convinced by you. You have to teach me more in the future." Qiao Mingxiu said sincerely. said.

Ye Jiayao smiled slightly and said: "We are all members of our own family, why are we being polite? I am only talking about it in theory. How to do it in detail is up to you, sister-in-law, to figure it out on your own!"

"I'd be very grateful if you could show me the way. Otherwise, I would mess around on my own and I don't know what I would end up doing. Don't wait until the end of the year. I can't even pay the rent for the store, and I won't be able to make people laugh to death. "

Qiao Mingxiu is not humble. If it weren't for Ye Jiayao's help last time, she would have considered closing her business.

After giving instructions, Ye Jiayao was thinking about Xia Chunyu and left first. Chunyu didn't come back for dinner today, and Song Qi didn't come back to report where he was or when he would be back. In the past, Chun Yu was afraid that she would be worried and would call Song Qi to report the news if she didn't come back.

This worried her.

I waited for a long time after returning to my room. It was almost past Haishi when Xia Chunyu came back.

The night wind was cold, and his body was covered with cold air. Ye Jiayao quickly asked Xiangtao to make a cup of hot tea and let him drink a few sips to warm up.

"Why are you so late today?"

Xia Chunyu didn't hug her immediately. He came back on horseback. His face and hands were cold from the wind. He was afraid that the ice would hit her. He held a tea cup to warm his hands and said with a smile: "I went to the West Camp, Song Qiye was sent out by me to do something. He won’t be back tonight because he left in such a hurry that he didn’t even have time to send you a message. Are you worried?”

"Why did you go to the West Camp so well? It's not under your jurisdiction there." Ye Jiayao was not only worried, but also very uneasy!

Xia Chunyu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that He Lianxuan has a letter and asked me to deliver it."

What kind of letter was it? It must be something very important for Chun Yu to send it in such a hurry.

But if Chunyu didn't tell her, she wouldn't ask further questions. She only asked, "When will He Lianxuan come back?"

Xia Chunyu shook his head, with a complicated look on his face: "Without the emperor's order, he can't come back."

"It's so strange. Things over there are over, and the emperor won't let him come back. What do you mean?" Ye Jiayao became more and more uneasy. He had won the battle, and the emperor should have called him back to Jinling to discuss his merits and reward him. Why didn't he let him come back? Already?

"The Holy Will is unpredictable, alas... don't worry about it. As long as the West Camp is under He Lianxuan's control, you can sit back and relax." Xia Chunyu comforted him. There are some things that you can't tell Yaoyao. Yaoyao is too smart and will think too much. Yes, she can't be of much help, so why worry about so many people.

Hearing what he said, Ye Jiayao couldn't ask any more questions. She still believed in Chunyu's ability. If there was anything wrong, Chunyu would not tell her.
