This voice. Jii-chan?
Then that means.
Jii-chan is with Minaho-neesan in our school.
Chapter 645
Grandfather?
Misuzu and Ruriko can’t hide their surprise from their Grandfather’s appearance.
First of all, how’s your business? Are you having problems? Business? The bakery? Is there anything else?
Jii-chan sounds harsh.
Err, for now, it’s sold out every day, but we’re only selling the amount I can make, I think that the cafeteria sells more, they need to sell as well
It’s a matter of time before it reaches the red or even black.
We’re making bread from a legit workshop after all.
That is not a business report Hmm, I think so too. Sorry
I can’t show any substantial numbers.
But, that’s.
Grandfather, it’s only been a month since Danna-sama started selling bread. Besides, Danna-sama’s just started taking bread-making lessons at school. It’s challenging to present complete market research and sales objective, it’s meaningless Misuzu said. I’m not asking for that. Instead, I want to hear something that’s coming from you
Coming from me.
How do you feel after making your own bread and selling it for nearly a month?
That’s.
I understood that just making delicious bread won’t do Go on
Jii-chan shows interest
In our school, there’s also a manufacturer selling bread other than me. I thought that the taste wins over the price, so I didn’t mind pricing the products a bit higher
Katsuko-nee accepted all the prices I calculated for the bread I make.
But, a classmate of mine asked me could you make it 50 yen cheaper? today. In short, my bread is thought to be a bit too pricy compared to the other seller. The boys value the size of the bread and the amount they eat than the taste of the product. I’m also a high school boy and yet, when I become the seller, I only looked at how I made it and the cost of it, I lost the senses of the buyer That’s what I’m reflecting on.
Even though it’s also Katsuko-nee’s first time selling bread.
I believed that everything Katsuko-nee says is right and closed my eyes.
All I did was do what Katsuko-nee says, make the bread according to her recipe, and sell it at the price she gave me. I’m not managing a business. I felt like I’ve been a fool recently
To be honest.
I’m still studying now is just an excuse.
Minaho-neesan even paid for the equipment used in the bakery.
Actually, Minaho-neesan shouldn’t be paying for Megu and Mana’s living expenses.
I should be earning money for their expenses using the sales from the bakery.
And yet.
Just delicious bread won’t do, I may have praised you for noticing it in just a month, but still, it’s not enough
Jii-chan said.
Hey, was it even necessary to sell bread in your school?
Huh?
Try to look from the perspective of the customers, the students in your school. Don’t include your situation My situation? Isn’t that right? Isn’t it just you who made the decision of wanting to study how to make bread and how to run a bakery at your school
Well.
Jii-chan’s right.
In the first place, does your school have a directive that all students must buy bread from the cafeteria? No, they don’t have that Then, evaluate the standard student’s lunch
Err.
Most of them bring lunch from home. Also, the cafeteria usually sells udon or curry. Then, some guys buy a lot of bread for their lunch. As for me, I’m a seller. What’s left is those who purchase some lunchboxes from convenience stores by morning before going to school. Oh, there were also some who buy bread from outside stores. Then, what’s left are delinquents leaving the school during lunch break and eat outside Nei during her legendary delinquent days seems to eat French cuisine course with Margo-san outside the school during lunch break.
They come back to school long after the lunch break, mostly when the 5th period has ended, and the 6th lesson starts.
They seem to go back to the mansion to skip classes.
That’s a lot of alternative options for lunch Yeah, that’s right
Bread is just for those who forgot their lunch or those whose wallets are crying, or those who never change their meals.
On the other hand, those who eat lunch boxes but still not full buy bread to fill their belly.
Actually, it’s not the mainstream lunch in our school.
So, about your bread. For example, if you stopped selling starting next week, will the students have problems?
That’s.
I don’t think so. I suddenly started selling since September
For the first term, it’s established that the bread comes from the dealer.
But, you see, when I started selling bread, their choices have increased. Before, those who don’t like the bread from the dealer had to buy food from the convenience store by morning, but now they choose the bread I bake Hey! Don’t change the topic, those who don’t like the bread from the dealer aren’t all customers of your products, are they?
Jii-chan said.
You need to think of the convenience of the business side. Does it really make sense for consumers to increase if you increase the choices? Think about it
Well.
For example, there are ten ramen shops on a ramen alley. They all have different individuality from the ramen they sell. Then, an 11th ramen shop opens up. Can you say that it’s a good thing that the choices for the consumers’ increases That’s. Are you the type that doesn’t mind eating ramen every day? No, well, I’d get tired if I eat it continuously for a week or two Right? Only ramen critics will eat ramen every time. However, I don’t trust critics who only eat ramen. If they don’t eat other good dishes every day then, they can’t make proper criticisms, can they? Ramen critic is also part of cooking critic yeah. For example, the company you work in decided to eat ramen for lunch today and so, you go to one of the ten ramen houses, well, ordinary people are full from eating one bowl of ramen. If it were delicious then they’d talk about coming to the same store again, but. Would you go to the ramen alley the next day?
I won’t.
On the next occasion you go to the alley, there would be a conservative who’ll say It was delicious at the shop we ate at before, let’s go there again, and there would be an adventurous person who’d say no, let’s try out this store next, which type are you? If there’s ten of them then I’d try the other shop Then, are you going to compare each shop with each bowl? I don’t think so. I’ll pick which shop has it delicious among several ones, then after that, eat only from the two or three of the best
I don’t like ramen that much, however.
So what is delicious? How can you know that one specific shop is the best if you haven’t eaten from all of them yet? Oh right, I wasn’t clear. If it’s ten shops, then I’ll remove those that don’t seem to serve delicious food. If there are no customers in that shop if it’s dirty, or when they don’t have a menu printed out. If we except those stores, the remaining would only probably be half. What’s left is to test out which has it better Though you say that you’ll eat, each ramen shop will sell various kinds of ramen. Even those ramen shops that you excluded by chance might have ramen that is more delicious than others. If you don’t eat the most delicious ramen in that shop, you might never choose that shop again Then nothing can be done. I just have to give up thinking that I was unlucky Are you giving up? Well, it’s just ramen, isn’t it? I won’t die from just learning that I couldn’t eat the best tasting ramen
