Protagonist:

Chai Mi

The next day, when Chai Mi went to set up her stall again.

Wang Da Qing still sold one for two fifty, two for four yuan, but this time the oil had been changed to good oil, and the wok had been scrubbed clean. Relying on the price advantage, although the taste was average, he snatched more than half of Chai Mi's fried chicken business.

Chai Mi had originally prepared chicken goods for ten-odd chickens today, and there was still a surplus.

After returning home, she put the remaining un-fried ones in the fridge, and the ones already fried were directly prepared to be eaten for dinner.

Song Qiushui hadn't come home today, and was furious: "Damn it, this trap, he's dead set on disgusting us. Chai Mi, if you ask me, let's lower the price tomorrow too. I just don't believe we can't beat him."

Su Wan, hearing Song Qiushui's angry noise, also came out and asked: "What's the matter?"

Song Qiushui sighed: "There's a stupid cunt also selling fried chicken, the fuck lowered the price. Much cheaper than us, we can't sell our own."

Su Wan frowned; there would be many such cases of peers lowering prices to do business in the market.

People feel it's cheap, so they go buy those cheaper things.

Yesterday Chai Mi originally came back and mentioned it once, but at that time Wang Da Qing used bad oil, and as a result he changed it today...

But, it's very obvious, Wang Da Qing is losing money to earn publicity.

"Then what to do? Why don't you lower the price a bit too?"

Song Qiushui's face full of unwillingness: "Our fried chicken legs originally don't make much money, if we lower the price to two fifty it's basically just breaking even at best. But he sells at two yuan, if we also lower to two yuan, it's a bloody loss."

Chai Mi thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow we do this, make fewer, just twenty-odd chicken legs, cut the quantity in half... after that, if he sells at two, we sell at one fifty; if he sells at one fifty, we sell at one. Anyway fried chicken isn't our main business, if we lose a bit we lose a bit."

Song Qiushui face full of unwillingness: "Not worth it... our stuff, a chicken leg costs two fifty just to break even, you sell at one yuan each, that's losing one per sale, the more you sell the more you lose."

Su Wan also worriedly said: "Qiushui is right, if you lower the price, he'll follow and lower too. Then both lose money, what's the point of doing this business?"

Chai Mi lightly said: "So, we make fewer, lose if we lose. Anyway this isn't the main business. Later we set up stalls, we don't go to No. 1 Middle School every day, but if he lowers the price, it can't rise back for a while. And we go every other day, he can't raise the price. We still have dumplings to support us, losing a bit doesn't matter. If he only sells fried goods, letting him lose two hundred a day, let's see how long he can last."

Song Qiushui thought a bit, felt that anyway the money lost wasn't hers, plus with Chai Mi putting it this way, the loss wouldn't be too much, and it was acceptable.

"Fine, whatever you say. Worst case I don't make money, Chai Mi you just give me less share. As long as I don't have to take money out of my own pocket."

Su Wan didn't quite agree with Chai Mi and Song Qiushui's idea, and Su Wan never quite knew how much Chai Mi actually earned in a day.

In Su Wan's impression, Chai Mi seemed to earn only a hundred or so a day. Earning this little, and then losing more, there was no need.

Su Wan sighed and said: "Chai Mi, Qiushui, in my view, you two might as well not sell fried chicken these two days, just sell dumplings, that makes money. You say this loss-making publicity business, doing it has no meaning."

Chai Mi: "Mom, this grandson isn't a thing, he clashed with us just yesterday. He picked faults in every way, yesterday if it weren't for me and those two gatekeepers having a decent relationship, that grandson would've dared to hit someone. So for this kind of person, absolutely cannot indulge. I want to see if he can afford to lose."

Chai Youqing at this moment also took a stand: "Right, not steaming buns but fighting for face..."

Song Qiushui jokingly mocked: "Then Uncle, you put up the money and we'll lose some..."

Chai Youqing with an awkward face went out...

Su Wan wasn't that stubborn either, seeing she couldn't persuade Chai Mi, she called out to Chai Youqing: "Don't forget to go pick up Xiu'er in a bit."

Chai Youqing hummed in agreement in the courtyard.

Chai Mi also didn't discuss this matter too much with her mother. Anyway this Wang Da Qing, Chai Mi wanted to see just how much money he had to lose.

When it was time to go to No. 1 Middle School to set up stall again.

Chai Mi prepared twenty chicken legs, and corresponding things, and also told Xiao Chengzi that Wang Laoban only needed to deliver ten chickens a day recently.

Arrived at the place.

Chai Mi smilingly looked at Wang Da Qing, then directly took out a piece of paper, pasted up the price of two yuan per chicken leg.

Wang Da Qing instantly froze: "..."

Song Qiushui holding a big megaphone, started shouting: "Chicken legs two yuan... to reward No. 1 Middle School's old customers, all students buying chicken legs only two yuan, chicken wings six cents, chicken heads three cents, chicken claws free with chicken leg purchase..."

With Song Qiushui shouting like this, everyone was restless.

A stall owner came over to ask: "Oh my, your chicken legs really two yuan?"

Chai Mi nodded: "Indeed two yuan, giving those student kids some welfare."

Song Qiushui speaking, also shouted towards Wang Da Qing's position: "Chicken legs two yuan, free chicken claws... chicken legs two yuan free chicken claws..."

When students got out at noon, a group of students immediately swarmed: "I want to eat chicken leg..."

"Me too..."

"Don't the fuck squeeze me, I was here first..."

Wang Da Qing's stall had no one, he grinned: "Fucking stinky bitch, shameless, I sell at two, she also sells at two, purely stealing my business."

Wang Da Qing was furious, but he was originally losing money, his purchased chickens were more expensive, cost two seventy-eight, selling at two yuan means each chicken does nothing but lose five yuan.

But now Chai Mi also sells at two...

Wang Da Qing's mouth twisted in anger, finally he could endure no more, no need to endure further... went all out.

"Chicken legs one fifty... one fifty..."

That side shouted out the price.

Chai Mi smiled.

Good lad, really fucking obedient!!!

Chai Mi poked Song Qiushui, Song Qiushui immediately understood, directly holding the megaphone shouted: "Chicken legs one yuan now... buy chicken leg free chicken claws..."

Wang Da Qing completely enraged, slapped the cutting board: "What do you two mean? One yuan chicken leg, can it be eaten?"

Song Qiushui spread hands: "I'm willing to sell at whatever price, if you have the ability sell at one yuan too..."

Wang Da Qing just wanted to flare up, then saw those two gatekeepers fucking came again.

He could only brace himself and shout: "Chicken legs one yuan now... I also give free chicken claws..."

Song Qiushui immediately shouted: "Chicken leg one yuan... giving two chicken wings."

Wang Da Qing burning with rage: "I..."

Words not spoken out, two security guards came: "Don't fucking find fault, don't want to set up stall, speak up!!!"

Chai Mi hehehe laughing: "Oh my, Boss Wang, rule of law society, you still want to hit people? If you have the ability you also one yuan chicken leg, then give two chicken wings ah..."

Wang Da Qing helpless, could only helplessly shout: "Chicken leg one yuan, give two chicken wings, plus one chicken claw, tearing up big clearance sale..."

Wang Da Qing indeed was tearing up big clearance sale.

He today prepared four to five tens of chickens' fried pot, just prepared to snatch business.

Result, Chai Mi this so a mess, he one chicken, at least lose twenty several yuan...

Now this price, even fucking oil money can't earn back.

Belong to chicken white give to people, still have to put in labor,. put in oil money.

Wang Da Qing this so a mess, Chai Mi also didn't lower price again.

Anyway she this brought goods not many, sold out after, people then all go Wang Da Qing there buy.

Wang Da Qing sold a while, half the fried goods went down. Although sold especially fast, but lose also especially fast.

Problem he still not less brought...

This day down, afraid one thousand yuan all not enough to lose...

Problem this cart of his didn't even spend one thousand yuan.

Set up stall one day, underwear all have to lose gone.

But very quickly he discovered Chai Mi sold out...

He immediately wanted to raise price: "Two yuan two yuan... not lowering price."

But buying chicken leg students immediately not willing: "Why? Just now one yuan, you now two yuan? Two yuan we really not buy."

"One yuan one chicken leg, also give two chicken wings plus two chicken claws, lose dead me ah... more understand..." Wang Da Qing desperately explain.

But students that would listen him explain, immediately got angry: "This is deceit, careful we go report you. You all said good one yuan, halfway raise price, absolutely not okay."

Wang Da Qing heart all dripping blood. Problem that group students still a gang, he this say raise price, immediately attracted a group students' verbal condemnation.

Stall also instantly no people.

Wang Da Qing angry to cursing: "Boss Chai, you deliberately against me right?"

Chai Mi laughed: "What matter me? You fucking yourself shouted price, still big man? Finish words, sit back?"

Wang Da Qing this anger...

Again helpless.

He now advance retreat dilemma.

One yuan sell, blood loss incomparable.

Problem two yuan also blood loss, blood loss not say, two yuan people also no one buy...

Now only can either one yuan insist sell out, or just pack up stall.

Problem, tomorrow?

Tomorrow what price?

Wang Da Qing also not stupid, today calculate already blood loss five hundred more, he can't insist anymore.

Insist again go home wife will run away...

"Good, you have guts!!! I also man...!!"

Wang Da Qing went all out, again started one yuan sell.

Immediately, chicken legs snatched empty...

But blood loss also real real.

One thousand yuan ah...

Wang Da Qing now what wife what children, all not consider, not steam steamed bun fight for breath.

Heart pondering: Big deal tomorrow take less, lose less.

Must squeeze Chai Mi away not succeed.

Chai Mi however not take to heart.

Originally Chai Mi sell dumplings earn money, fried chicken what prepared also few, although estimate fried chicken today also have to lose one two hundred, but for Wang Da Qing lose, then can ignore not count.

Problem Song Qiushui still there promoting: "Day after tomorrow ah, we still come, still one yuan..."

Students see this situation, immediately cheer jump.

This fuck have competition is good, someone lose money invite us eat chicken legs.

Must add meal!!!

Ruthlessly add meal...!!

Song Qiushui this so say, Wang Da Qing whole person all numb.

Song Qiushui pouted mouth, facing Wang Da Qing shouting: "How? Tomorrow you dare not set up stall how?"

Wang Da Qing really not want come, but not come then this business can't do.

Wang Da Qing originally just laid off, after although have some money, but not much.

Hardly through everywhere inspect, feel Chai Mi this fried chicken simple, solid, also especially easy learn.

Then started this.

His wife also supportive.

Problem this so lower price, Chai Mi also follow lower price, until now still blood loss, Wang Da Qing is not one bit mental preparation.

And he today lost too much.

Over a thousand yuan.

How could Wang Da Qing afford to lose several thousand?

But Song Qiushui had provoked him right to the face, so he immediately said: "I'll sell for one yuan tomorrow too, and still give two chicken wings and two chicken feet."

Chai Mi said to those students: "Oh, Boss Wang is so generous. He just promised that tomorrow will still be one yuan per chicken leg, and he'll give two chicken wings and two chicken feet."

Everyone cheered.

But Chai Mi changed the subject: "Boss Wang, you won't not come tomorrow, will you?"

Wang Da Qing scoffed: "How could that be? I'm a grown man; when I speak, my word is as good as a nail. I'll definitely come tomorrow..."

Chai Mi silently gave a thumbs-up in her heart: Just come.

Watch you lose money!

"So Boss Wang, how many chicken legs are you preparing to give back to everyone tomorrow?! Are you pretending to make fewer than today?"

Wang Da Qing's face twitched: "How could that be? I'll definitely make more than today tomorrow."

The students immediately asked: "Is that true?"

Wang Da Qing spoke with absolute confidence.

Everyone was even happier.

Wang Da Qing then asked Chai Mi: "You won't not come tomorrow, will you?"

Chai Mi smiled: "Mm-hmm... yes."

Wang Da Qing: "Heh, you don't dare."

"No, I originally come every other day. Don't believe me? Ask them..." Chai Mi said with a smile.

Everyone said Chai Mi was indeed not lying.

Wang Da Qing:!!!

By this time the dumplings were sold out, and Chai Mi was preparing to pack up her stall.

Then she sniped at Wang Da Qing: "Boss Wang is so generous, truly can bear the loss. You'd better not not come tomorrow..."

"Then why is it okay for you not to come, but they don't care?" Wang Da Qing got angry: "You're running away."

"Because they know I'm not coming tomorrow," Chai Mi said lightly: "Aren't you trying to wage a price war? Then let's wage it; as long as I come, I'll sell for one yuan."

Wang Da Qing angrily packed up his stall, but could do nothing about it. Thinking that he wouldn't come tomorrow, he had already said so out loud, so tomorrow he could only grit his teeth and come.

But this timing was really bad; if Chai Mi came the day after tomorrow and still sold for one yuan, then the day after tomorrow would still be a bloody loss...

But if she didn't come the day after tomorrow, Chai Mi would still sell for one yuan, and Wang Da Qing still couldn't raise the price again.

The problem was especially complicated.

Whether Wang Da Qing set up his stall on the same day as Chai Mi or staggered it by a day, it was especially difficult. Now there were only two roads before him: quit, or keep fighting the price war.

"Fine, you've got guts. Let's see which of our two shops can't hold out first."

Wang Da Qing pondered that he could secretly make a few less over the next few days, so he could lose a little less, and just hold on for these two days.

Chai Mi smiled without speaking; with Wang Da Qing's little schemes, she had seen through them long ago.

If Wang Da Qing wanted to make less later, Chai Mi would just make more, losing money anyway.

See who can't hold out first, damn it.

Anyway, fried chicken was just a side business for him, impossible to make too much, and his main business of dumplings earned money, so he could completely hold out.

Whether Wang Da Qing could hold out depended on his fate.
