Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Qin Yang’s eyes were brimming with a smile as he tugged her arm, "Master has said I will recover, so don’t worry."

Lin Chuxia knew she was being impatient, but every time she thought about the possibility of Qin Yang not being able to hold a pen, her heart ached for the loss of such an outstanding designer for the country.

"I get it, I get it. Just asking a few more questions, why are you in a rush? Hurting our master-disciple relationship, you’re becoming stingier as you get older."

Despite her words, her hands were continuously busy.

She opened a can of food that she had brought and handed it over, "Hurry up and eat some canned food to quell the fire and calm down."

Qin Yang’s eyes twinkled with a touch of amusement seeing the way these two interacted.

His wife was like a little sun, warm and passionate.

He probably understood why Old Sir He had taken her as a disciple.

Old Sir He promptly performed acupuncture on Qin Yang. Watching the Master take out the silver needles, Lin Chuxia couldn’t bear to watch, so she chose to leave.

Letting Qin Yang undergo acupuncture here, she decided to check the store first. Out of sight, out of mind. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

She went straight to the cooked food courtyard to find Su Wensong. During her absence, she had left the shop in the care of Qin Han and Su Wensong, but Su Wensong was generally more capable with the shop’s affairs.

"What was it that you wanted to tell me yesterday?" Lin Chuxia got straight to the point.

"There has been an issue, Mr. Lin. After entering the twelfth lunar month, the Food Store lowered their cooked food prices by twenty percent. Initially, we also made an appropriate adjustment, but the next day they lowered it by another ten percent. Now, our prices have only been reduced by ten percent, but they have gone down by thirty percent. We’ve lost the majority of our customers. Since then, we haven’t changed our prices again, instead we’ve reduced the production."

After entering the yard, Lin Chuxia had noticed that there was indeed less cooked food being made than usual, and had assumed that it had already been delivered to the store. Now she understood there was a reason for it.

"You did the right thing. Engaging in a price war is not a wise choice."

The cost of raw materials for cooked food is low, but labor and processing costs are not, reducing prices by thirty percent would leave almost no profit.

However, Su Wensong was not as optimistic, "But it’s almost the end of the year, and it’s precisely the time when people like to buy cooked food. Now, we can’t even sell one-third of what we used to. This situation can’t go on."

From the experience of the Mid-Autumn Festival, their cooked food had capitalized on the market trend tremendously. They had planned to increase production for the Spring Festival, even adding two more chicken farms, but now...

"Come on, let’s go to the branch and take a look."

Their cooked food sales were mainly driven by the branch, and it was precisely for this reason that they were competitive with the Food Factory.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, it was the busiest time of the day for selling cooked food.

In the past, long queues would have formed at the cooked food counter, but now there were only two or three people scattered around buying food.

By contrast, not far away, the Food Factory’s cooked food store had long lines of customers, similar to when their Bun Shop first opened.

A passing Aunt Shen, recognizing the familiar face at their store’s entrance, greeted, "Old Shen, why are you still buying cooked food here? The Food Store over there is very cheap, they’re having some sort of pre-festival promotion."

"Really? Why didn’t you tell me earlier," Aunt Shen said, then turning to Qin Wu inside, "Young man, I’m sorry, but I don’t need this anymore."
