Chapter 314: Ye Jiayao’s suggestion

Ye Jiayao didn’t know when Xia Chunyu will come back and how she slept in bed from the couch, but she heard some small sounds in the morning. When she opened her eyes, Chunyu was wearing shoes and she was in bed.

” When did you come back?” Ye Jiayao stretched out an arm to press the quilt and felt cold, so he shrank back quickly.

Xia Chunyu rushed over and kissed her. ” Don’t wait for me in the future. You sleep first. I am a little busy these days.”

Ye Jiayao hooked his neck to keep him from leaving. His voice was soft and waxy, with a languid morning smell: ” What are you busy with?”

Xia Chunyu kissed her again: ” By the end of the year, there are many things in the palace.”

Ye Jiayao recalled that he didn’t seem so busy this time last year.

” Lovely, you look after more at home. I’ll accompany you again after I’ve been busy for a while.” Xia Chunyu coaxed her as if she was a child.

Ye Jiayao reluctantly let go of his hand and sincerely felt that it was not a good thing for both of them to be so busy.

After Xia Chunyu left, Ye Jiayao quickly got up when she thought there was something important to do today.

First, Let Steward Zhong went to Chunfeng and called Ziming back. At this point, Chunfeng should have been able to take charge before going to Dali Temple. Otherwise, he would have to ask Liu Li. Maybe the dead woman would have to say something again.

Steward Zhong asked what to arrange when he came back.

Ye Jiayao thought it over yesterday: ” Let him help you do things first.”

The arrangement of this position was very significant. It seemed that it was a good job to work for Steward Zhong, there would be bright prospects. But it was not an important job. Steward Zhong could also help her keep an eye on it.

Steward Zhong did not raise any objection and went to the third young master’s house when he was ordered to do so.

Ye Jiayao then went to Heavenly Residence, looking for Zhong Xiang and Cui Dongpeng to discuss the Food Festival. Everyone brainstormed, three smelly cobblers had competed Zhuge Liang.

However, they also heard for the first time about the Food Festival. they really couldn’t come up with any good ways and their ideas were all rejected by Ye Jiayao.

While there were guests at noon, Ye Jiayao conducted another customer survey to listen to what kind of Food Festival the guests would like to see most.

To sum up, some of the guests had offered real preferential treatment. These people belonged to the middle class and the benefits came first. Some of the guests said they wanted to see something new. This part of the guests belonged to the higher end. They didn’t care about money, they wanted something real and good. Some of the guests thought it was better to have an activity on Heavenly Residence, and they would certainly support it. These people were loyal customers of Heavenly Residence.

Ye Jiayao had a idea in his heart. After lunch, she asked Qiao Xi and Xiangtao to go to the dessert house to help. These two people were very fond of making desserts recently, and she took Zhong Xiang to the chamber of commerce.

Everyone arrived early, Mrs Rong was there, who was specially invited by Lu Xiaotian .

” Due to my personal reasons, I have delayed everyone’s business. I’m really sorry, but before we can speak out, everyone will try to finalize the plan for the Food Festival today.” Lu Xiaotian’s opening remarks were very concise and got straight to the point.

Lin Changchun was the first to speak: ” Food Festival can be placed by Qinhuai River, because there are the most leisure people there, the place is spacious, it will not affect people’s travel, and it is also convenient to maintain public order.”

This proposal had been approved by everyone.

Soon the location, time, number of days held and the apportionment of expenses were settled.

The key question was what to do? In what form should it be held?

Everyone had different opinions.

Because when the time came to build a simple tent, each restaurant had a booth, and the space was limited, the guests could only taste it, what effect could it have? Everyone was not sure about all these things.

After discussion and discussion, everyone’s eyes finally focused on Ye Jiayao, who had not spoken.

” Shopkeeper Ye, what do you mean?” Asked Duan Kirin.

At this time, Ye Jiayao already had a general plan in her mind. Her eyes swept across the crowd and looked at those expectant eyes. She decided not to hide her private affairs. She said, ” Food Festival can actually not be limited to three days, but be used to promote to the restaurant in these three days. We could divide the Food Festival into two parts. The first part was what everyone said just now. In three days, bring out the restaurant’s special dishes for guests to taste, introduce the restaurant’s situation, and introduce a series of subsequent preferential measures, such as a few discount for ordering banquet during the food festival, or distributing coupons.

Lu Xiaotian’s eyes lit up and he caught the key point in Ye Jiayao’s remarks, which was the word ” preferential.” .

In addition to the delicious features, what could attract guests more than preferential treatment? Of course, it was preferential treatment, especially for restaurants with ordinary performance, which should be the most effective measure.

” This was not small profits but quick turnover?” ZhenSanduo spoke in a disdainful tone.

” Do a half die and ended up making little money? is it worth it?” Even the shopkeeper of Xiangyi Residence scoffed at her.

” Everyone has introduced preferential measures. Can those small restaurants compete with your big ones? Isn’t the last benefit belong to you these big restaurants?” Some people questioned it again.

Ye Jiayao smiled: ” Opportunities are equal. No one is successful from the start. It depends on what you do. It is not a channel to make small profits but quick turnover, nor is it a way to make you lose money in business.”

These short-sighted guys, it was no wonder that after all these years, they could only play small games, had no cooking skills, had no unique business philosophy, and how could they compete with others? Some real preferential measures may make a few more money.

Lin Changchun said immediately: ” I agree with the shopkeeper Ye that there are large restaurants and small restaurants. We are holding a Food Festival to expand our restaurant business and attract more consumers. There are still many people who do not want to come to the restaurant to save money. This is an opportunity.”

Lu Xiaotian nodded and said, ” The shopkeeper Lin said very well that the idea of the shopkeeper Ye is to help everyone expand their interests. The Food Festival is just a platform, giving everyone a chance to sell themselves. As for how to do it, it still depends on oneself and the strength of the offer is within one’s capabilities. However, one thing must be stated first, that is, it is impossible to compete in a vicious way, to reduce the price of each other, and to lose out at last.”

The general direction was decided, and then Lu Xiaotian began to divide the work, leaving the venue to Duan Qilin, who personally took part in the issue of communication with the government. As for the early publicity and promotion work, Lu xiaotian looked at Ye Jiayao and then asked everyone, ” who do you think is more appropriate?”

As a result, everyone’s eyes fell on Ye Jiayao once again.

Lu Xiaotian laughed: ” Then it will going to trouble the shopkeeper.”

Ye Jiayao smiled: ” It doesn’t matter if I work hard. As a vice president, working for the chamber of commerce and making profits for everyone is part of the business, but one thing needs to be said ahead.”

Everyone were all ready to listen to her.

Ye Jiayao gathered her smile and said seriously, ” Today’s plan was worked out by everyone together. Everyone’s mind must be consistent. If anyone feels that attending this Food Festival is meaningless, he can quit. I said, human effort is the decisive factor and the opportunity has given you, and it’s your own business to what extent you can do it. Don’t complain about it when the time comes, so that everyone’s good intentions will fall apart.”

Several people who had just raised objections looked passive and embarrassed to avoid Ye Jiayao’s eyes.

Duan Qilin said: ” It is true that participation is voluntary. The registration period is three days. Each family will pay a deposit of two hundred and twenty taels first, and then how much it will cost, whether it will refund more or make up less, make its own decision, and don’t complain.”

” That’s certain. If everyone else makes money, you won’t be able to earn it yourself.” Chang Chun was not salty or weak.

No one raised any objection, Lu Xiaotian said, ” That’s settled. Everyone can get ready.”

Ye Jiayao wanted to say something to Lu Xiaotian, but Lu Xiaotian said hello to Mrs. Rong, then just talking to Duan Qilin and left.

Ye Jiayao was a little uncomfortable, but she could also understand Lu Xiaotian’s estrangement. He didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding.

Mrs Rong came over and said gently, ” Today I have seen you in a different style.”

A woman in a group of men was no less decisive and courageous than a man, giving Mrs. Rong a new understanding of Ye Jiayao. Ye Jiayao’s success depends not only on her superb cooking skills.

Ye Jiayao smiled shyly: “Hope you won’t laugh at me.”

For Mrs Rong, she was very respectful and did not dare to stand up to her.

The members left in twos and threes, leaving Ye Jiayao and Mrs Rong behind.

Mrs Rong said, ” Your idea is really good, especially for those small restaurants, you can not say it. The biggest beneficiary of the Food Festival will be Heavenly Residence, but some people still don’t appreciate it.”

Ye Jiayao smiled generously, ” Everything is from the overall situation, benifits of oneself own is nothing. Money should be earned by all! As for ungrateful, it is their own business, and I will not lose anything.”

Mrs Rong couldn’t help praising Ye in her heart. Jing ‘an Hou Heir-son Lord was the best man among the people, and only women like Ye Jinxuan deserved him.

She began to believe that perhaps many years later, Ye Jinxuan would really become a person who inscribed history books. At least, she would have an indelible position in the hearts of people who love food.

Ye Jiayao didn’t know Mrs Rong had gave her such a high opinion in silence, she was only moving forward step by step for her own ideal. As to which step she could do, she just tried her best.
