Chapter 209 Don't worry, you won't lose
"Malatang is a product that requires small profits but quick turnover. Don't worry, you won't lose money." Song Qingci would never tell her that Malatang is a product that actually makes huge profits.
If you sell one or two orders, you will definitely lose money. But the more you sell, the more money you will make.
If there are thousands of strings, the profit margin can exceed half. If there are tens of thousands of strings, it is not a problem to reach 70% profit margin.
If the price is set too high, there will definitely be a shortfall in quantity.
If you don’t reach the quantity, you will earn less.
Song Qingci didn't intend to go the high-brow route; she wanted to make her food affordable for everyone.
With a higher base, there will be more room for profit.
"But, with such a low price, won't those rich people be disgusted?" Shan Xi himself did not have any prejudice in this regard.
But many people she had met had this problem.
Whether the product is good or not is not the most important thing; the most important thing is that the price is high enough.
This is the only way to show your status and distinguish yourself from those poor people whom they look down upon.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. The one you're eating is a special version, suitable for ladies like you." Song Qingci had also considered this, otherwise he wouldn't have renovated the second and third floors.
"Food can be divided into different versions?" Shan Xi didn't understand.
"Of course, the skewers are the same, but the soup base is different. The one I tried in the mansion before was the regular version, which is also the version for the public. In addition to the price of the ingredients, you also need to pay for the soup base. A pot of soup base starts at 30 cents. However, you can choose to eat alone or share a table with others. "
"We have the most round tables here. If several people share the cost of a soup base, it won't cost much per person."
"The soup you are eating has medicinal herbs added to nourish the body. The price of this soup starts from half a tael of silver. Generally, people who can eat this soup don't need to share a table. You can eat on the first floor, or on the second or third floor."
"There are also more advanced soup bases, the kind that are made with more rare ingredients, which start at at least three taels of silver. We can also provide door-to-door service for such guests."
"Besides, it's not just the soup base that's different. Even the ingredients are different. You have to know that everything can be skewered. Ordinary ingredients can be skewered, and so can some rare ingredients that dignitaries like. Rich people can eat ordinary ingredients. They can also pre-order those rare ingredients. The price will also go up accordingly. So, do you still think it's cheap now?"
Shan Xi was completely confused by the words of his sister-in-law.
No wonder the waiter said the soup base was free for three days.
That’s what it means.
Song Qingci saw that Shan Xi was obviously dizzy, so he did not urge her, but waited quietly by the side.
Take a look around to see if there is anything you have missed.
The first floor of the Moon Viewing Building is for ordinary people, so the prices are certainly not high. It is also the place where most ordinary soup bases are sold.
The second and third floors are where the bulk of the money is earned.
Such a fresh way of eating, and such a special taste, wouldn’t those gourmets or wealthy people want to try it? !
Song Qingci believed that once you tried it, you would never forget it.
Moreover, Malatang is just a specialty of Shangyue Tower. It does not mean that Shangyue Tower does not have other dishes.
Yinling has been studying some popular Chinese recipes that she was given and has achieved very good results.
Now what Yinling makes can be said to have reached a new level.
Once the Moon Viewing Tower reopens, she is confident that she can open up a whole new situation.
