Chapter 587 Limited Supply
The person who had made a reservation looked back after hearing what he said, and was surprised to see a long queue forming behind him while he was stunned.
Xu Han continued to speak at the right time, "Our sweet potato wine is limited in purchase, up to 200 kilograms per person, and will be delivered before the New Year.
For those who want unlimited quantity, we will have to wait until after the Chinese New Year, but we don’t know when exactly. As long as we can brew it, we will definitely deliver it to you as soon as possible.”
After hearing this, the people behind him became even more anxious. The man no longer hesitated and gritted his teeth and ordered 5 kilograms.
Xu Han didn't think it was too little. After all, not every family was as rich as Mr. Yang's family. Five kilograms of sweet potato wine cost 5 coins, which was enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year.
After receiving the deposit, he gave the customer a stamped receipt and said, "Next time you come to pick up the wine, just bring this receipt with you. Keep it safe when you go back and don't lose it.
You can’t take back the wine without an order, and even the deposit cannot be refunded.
Of course, if you bring the receipt to ask for a refund, it will be refunded immediately.”
This reservation order was prepared in advance by Xu Han, in duplicate, each with a serial number and seal, so it could not be forged.
The next time they come to get the wine, the wine shop will take it back and keep it on file for easy accounting at the end of the month.
Lu Chuan, who was standing by, took a look at the long queue behind and took a chair to sit aside to help with the registration.
Xu Han glanced at him, smiled slightly and continued to work on her own things.
The truth is that Lu Chuan comes from a hunting family and has a fierce look, which makes people feel that he is difficult to talk to.
Although his aura has weakened a lot in recent years because of having children, people are still afraid of him.
In addition, he was not very talkative in front of outsiders. Most of the time, he just stayed quietly and listened, which made people feel that they didn't dare to approach him casually.
He himself doesn't like doing these things, so most of the time it is Xu Han who deals with people. However, Lu Chuan himself knows that this is not a good idea, so he will take the initiative to communicate if there is anything.
As soon as Lu Chuan sat down, the people in the queue suddenly became much quieter. When it was Lu Chuan’s turn to register, they didn’t dare to ask more questions.
Fortunately, Lu Chuan still had professional ethics. He reminded Xu Han again according to what she said, and only issued the order and collected the deposit after confirmation.
We were busy like this for about half an hour, and the number of people in the store gradually decreased.
At this time, those who had placed orders also came in their horse-drawn carriages to pick up the goods.
All of a sudden, everyone started to ship the goods and was very busy.
In the morning, not many canned fruits and fruit wines were sold, but there were quite a few orders for sweet potato wine. Xu Han roughly calculated that all the orders added up to almost two thousand kilograms.
Of course, this includes the 200 kilograms ordered by the county magistrate, and the additional 100 kilograms ordered by Mr. Yang. Together with the previous 200 kilograms, it totals kilograms.
In addition, there were some people who placed orders sporadically, and there were also several large families who placed orders.
These wealthy families are indeed the main contributors to the sales of sweet potato wine. If it weren’t for their support, the total sales of the scattered sales would not even reach 300 kilograms.
Because the county magistrate came in person when the business opened in the morning, many wealthy family heads and officials who got the news also took time to come and take a look.
Therefore, in the afternoon, many important figures in the county came to the store one after another.
After they entered the shop and tried the products, they were all conquered by the canned fruits and sweet potato wine and placed orders one after another.
By the way, a lot of fruit wine was also sold, but the amount of canned fruit was even less. We didn’t have time to make it this year, so half of the canned fruit was sold on the opening day.
Seeing that the canned fruit in the shop was getting less and less, Xu Han was afraid that it would not last until the Chinese New Year, or that there were still wealthy people who did not buy it and she was afraid that they would make trouble. Finally, Xu Han simply started to limit the purchase.
After receiving the order, Li Wen looked at his wife worriedly, "Madam, this is not good."
"It's okay, let's limit the quantity. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable if all the canned fruits in our store were sold out in just two days!
Rather than getting into trouble with others, we might as well take the initiative to spread the news that our canned fruits are selling like hot cakes after being put on the shelves and are almost sold out in a short time.
In order to allow more people to taste the flavor of canned fruit, we limit the sale to 30 kilograms a day.
In this way, the products can be sold for about twenty more days. After those who like to eat canned fruits get the news, they will definitely send people to line up to buy them.
Some people can’t buy it, so they keep thinking about it.
This will also help spread the reputation of our canned fruit, and it will definitely sell better next year."
After hearing this, Li Wen couldn't help but sigh, "Madam is really smart. In this way, those people who want to eat but can't have it will always think about it, right? After a long time, everyone knows that our canned fruit is hard to buy, and if you want to eat it, you have to come early to queue up."
"Well, that's true, but more importantly, it paves the way for us next year."
Xu Han said, then looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late, let's calculate today's sweet potato wine order together.
I won’t be selling the canned fruit anymore. Do it the way I told you tomorrow.”
Li Wen received the order and started to execute it immediately. During the process, some people came to order sweet potato wine, but not much, so he just asked the people in the store to register it.
Xu Han, Lu Chuan and Li Wen went straight into the backyard and began to calculate the amount of sweet potato wine to be ordered today.
"I have 1864 jin here."
"I'm 2043 pounds here"
"I'm a little lighter here, 1560 pounds."
The three of them repeated the numbers they had calculated, and the total was 5467 kilograms.
Xu Han looked at the calculated total number and smiled, "Hahaha, this result is really unexpected. I didn't expect that we would order so much sweet potato wine on the first day of opening. We are really amazing!"
"We really want to thank the county magistrate. If he hadn't come here in person, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to order even half of this."
Xu Han slammed the table and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we should thank him. Most of the people who came this afternoon came for the county magistrate.
But almost everyone who was supposed to come has arrived. There shouldn’t be that many people tomorrow. Even if there are some, they are probably small orders. There won’t be many people who order 200 kilograms at a time.”
Li Wen also nodded thoughtfully, "Madam is right.
However, our sweet potato wine is not expensive. People with a little money can afford to buy a pound or two to try it during the New Year.
I guess once our sweet potato wine becomes more famous, we will be able to buy more. I'm sure 1000 kilograms will be no problem."
