"The decoration across the street is so exquisite, how can our family win over others..."

After the little Lolita Ai Sui finished speaking, her expression seemed like she almost raised her hands in surrender.

But after a while, she didn't know what she thought of, her big black eyes shone slightly, and she said in a loud voice: "I...I thought of a way!!"

"Um?"

Hachiyanagi Riho looked at the serious expression on her second sister's face. Although she didn't have any expectations, she still asked: "Tell me about it..."

"As long as I hide my identity and apply for jobs across the street, and then sabotage them at work and ruin their reputation, won't they soon be unable to work?"

"..."

Riho Hachiyanagi pursed her lips and looked at her sister who was even a little proud in front of her. She didn't know where to start from.

"I think the second sister's method is good..."

But Mingsui on the side suddenly spoke in agreement. Under her surprised gaze, she continued to say calmly: "No matter whether an idiot like the second sister can be sent to the izakaya opposite, as long as he leaves our place, it will be a big help.

.”

"Idiot Mingsui, who are you talking about as an idiot? How dare you say that to your sister? Today I will make you look better..."

Ai Sui looked at her third sister angrily, opening her mouth slightly, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth.

Just like an angry cat, Riho Hachiyanagi feels angry and funny at the same time.

"Idiot, don't go crazy here again!"

She raised her hand to hold down Ai Sui's little head, and activated her natural skill "Eldest Sister's Majesty" to suppress her idiot second sister.

"Oh..." Ai Sui's originally proud expression faded after her eldest sister held her head down.

"Sister, are you sure that the second sister was not carried by the wrong mother in the hospital?"

Mingsui on the side covered her face and took the last hit at the right time.

"Well..."

Riho Hachiyanagi heard her third sister's question, pondered for a moment and then replied: "Do you think that given my mother's personality, it's possible that you were the one who gave birth to the wrong child?"

"..."

Mingsui was choked by her words for a moment, and then immediately adjusted her state and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's find a way to face the impact of Fire, a large chain store..."

"Mingsui, do you have any ideas?" She let go of her hand on the second sister's head, sat back on the stool, and asked with a serious face.

"I have three methods, upper, middle and lower, for eldest sister to choose and make decisions..."

Hachiyanagi Akiho, who had a calm expression at first, suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back and said lightly.

His demeanor looks like that of an unparalleled military strategist in ancient wars. He has thousands of trenches in his chest and can kill the enemy in front of his horse.

"oh?"

Seeing the confident look of the third child, Hachiyanagi Riho's eyes lit up as he couldn't think of any ideas on how to face the impact of such a large chain store.

Ming Sui's method definitely can't be something like Ai Sui's child's play house. Is there really any clever plan?

"Quick, tell me quickly!"

"The last resort is the most basic response..." Mingsui took out a piece of white paper from the counter that seemed to have been prepared in advance, placed it on the table, and attracted the attention of the two sisters.

"This is the price I have researched at the main store of this chain store in Kyoto..."

The girl pointed to the prices of various dishes recorded on the white paper and continued:

"The difference between their large chain stores and small workshops like ours is that the prices cannot be changed at will. All sales must be based on the prices of the main store..."

"So as long as we keep the price of each dish slightly lower than theirs, and coupled with the reputation and reputation our family has accumulated over the years, we should be able to withstand the impact of the fire in a short time..."

Riho Hachiyanagi looked at the prices of various dishes on the white paper, and they were basically not much different from the prices at their home.

“Price reduction across the board?”

But after calculating the price reduction, she lost a large amount of profit for no reason, and she felt like there were ants crawling in her heart.

At first, I didn't have any special feelings towards this izakaya opposite, which was trying to steal business, but now my hatred level has increased!

"If the price is a little lower than theirs..."

She took the calculator placed on the counter and started calculating item by item.

Mingsui, who was sitting next to her, carefully calculated with her and occasionally pointed out her mistakes.

But Ai Sui, who was sitting opposite, seemed to be possessed by ADHD, looking here and moving there from time to time.

When she was halfway through the calculation, Aiho jumped off the bench with a "hey!", took a peek at the two people who were calculating carefully, and ran towards the kitchen with small steps.

Hachiyanagi Riho raised his eyes and glanced, but didn't stop him.

She also knew that her second sister had an ADHD personality, and it was really hard for her to want her to sit still all the time...

However, this kind of personality is just right for ordering food. Give her the opportunity to run around and have ADHD attacks, and give full play to her advantages...

After a while, Aisu came back from the kitchen with three glasses of red juice of different sizes, and placed one cup for each person on the table.

"Mingsui, eldest sister, try my hand-squeezed watermelon juice, it's super sweet!"

As if offering a treasure, the little Lolita Aisu pushed the other two slightly smaller cups over and drank the largest cup happily.

But judging from the red traces left on the corners of her mouth, she must have been squeezing and drinking at the same time...

"Thank you Aisu..."

Risui Hachiyanagi took the watermelon juice and took a sip. It was indeed sweet and delicious, and a little cold.

You should have put the cup in the ice maker and refrigerated it for a while in advance.

This little guy is very careful when making food and drinks.

"Stupid second sister, do you know how expensive watermelon is now?" But Mingsui frowned slightly and looked at the watermelon juice on the table and said with some distress.

"Well..."

Ai Sui's raised mouth, which was still waiting for praise, suddenly dropped, the corners of her eyes that were slightly upturned due to pride also drooped, and her originally bright big eyes became misty.

It seemed that my good intentions resulted in accusations from my sister, and I felt a little aggrieved.

"Okay Mingsui, it's okay..." Risui Hachiyanagi saw her second sister looking like she was about to cry, and quickly comforted her: "It's just an ordinary watermelon. It's okay to eat one occasionally..."

"This is a high-end watermelon that my mother bought the day before yesterday for a big customer. The purchase price is only 5,000 yen each..." Mingsui did not refute her eldest sister, but just said the price in a calm tone.

"What?! Five thousand yen each!"

Riho Hachiyanagi's originally calm expression instantly faded away, her eyes widened as she looked at the timid Aiho, and she raised her hand to pinch her chubby little face and pull it up.

"Idiot, you use 5,000 yen a watermelon to squeeze juice! Do you know how much you can sell it for?"

"Ugh... I made the mistake of messing with my eldest sister..."

Ai Sui seemed to realize her mistake and did not resist. Instead, she apologized in a low voice and tried to make up for it: "Deduct it from... my pocket money!"

"Second sister, your monthly pocket money is less than five thousand yen, which means you won't have even one yen of pocket money next month..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Ai Sui's two big eyes were as wide as bells: "Is my pocket money so little?"

Riho Hachiyanagi released her palm from holding her sister's cheek and raised her hand to cover her face.

My dear sister, my dear sister...

This is my biological sister...

She took two deep breaths and then completely suppressed the ancient power in her body.

Then he glared at the second sister fiercely and continued to calculate with his head down.

After a while, the calculation problem on the paper came to an end.

"Based on the fact that the price of each dish is 100 yen to 500 yen lower than the other side, the profit we lose is actually not much..."

She looked up at Mingsui.

I saw Mingsui nodding confidently and said: "After all, we are an izakaya, and the majority of our monthly profits are from the wine. As long as we can attract more customers with these cheap snacks, the profit from the wine sales alone will be enough to make up for it."

The lost profits from food and wine..."

"You can also plan some packages to increase sales..." She raised her hand to write on the paper and said seriously.

"The set meal is one thing, but the more important thing about this method is that the big chain stores across the street have their own supply chains. It is difficult for us to compete with them in terms of cost. Although the price cannot change, they can follow

If we are doing activities, it is impossible for us to start a price war with the other side..."

Hachiyanagi Akiho stopped her eldest sister from further planning and expressed her inner thoughts...

"Then what should we do? What are the other two methods?" The eldest sister put down her pen and looked at her with a headache and asked.

"The middle strategy is actually both simple and difficult..."

"you say..."

She took a sip of the watermelon juice that the second sister at the table bought with a month's pocket money to moisten her throat. It felt really sweet and delicious.

"Actually, the wines sold in izakayas are basically the same. It mainly depends on the food and whether the taste of the food that goes with the wine can attract customers. The chain stores opposite are all semi-finished products, which can only be said to be averagely delicious, so we

As long as we can find a... well... skilled general, and replace the mother, we can use the taste card to attract customers..."

After Hachiyanagi Akiho finished speaking, he looked towards the stairs without saying anything.

After all, as daughters, they know their mother’s craftsmanship best.

Although it is not unpalatable, in every aspect it is not much different from the semi-finished product.

It even depends on the state. Sometimes when the state is not good and the body is not feeling well, the confused mother will often make some dark dishes to give the customers in the store a 'naughty blow'.

Sometimes it's okay to meet loyal old customers, and you can get away with just a few jokes in exchange for a dish.

But if a new customer takes advantage of it, he may get angry and need to apologize for a long time to appease him...

It not only affects the reputation of the store, but also loses new customers.

But there is no way...

The reason why my family opened an izakaya in the past was because my father was a very good general and seemed to be well-known in the entire Tokyo area.

When I was a kid, I would occasionally come from places like Kyoto, Osaka or even Hokkaido just to eat at their house.

Since my father passed away, my mother was forced to take over the post of general...

"But if you hire a powerful general, it doesn't matter whether you can get it or not. Even if you can hire him, a small store like ours can't afford that salary, right?"

When Mingsui heard her eldest sister's question, she pondered for a moment and said: "It's not about salary. Nowadays, senior generals with good skills and experience have to take part of the store's profits in addition to their basic salary. For a store like ours, if you want

To attract famous generals, you have to spend at least 30%..."

"Thirty percent?!"

Riho Hachiyanagi slammed the table and exclaimed: "Why don't they grab it?"

"That's right..." Ai Sui, who didn't know what she was thinking just now, was startled by the sound of her eldest sister slamming the table, and subconsciously agreed.

"I have calculated that even if we take out 30% of the profit, as long as the general's craftsmanship can crush the chain stores across the street, we can make up for part of the increased sales. Although we will make less money and be more tired, at least we will not be overtaken by the chain stores across the street.

Crowded to the point of closing..."

Mingsui pursed her lips, as if she was not surprised by her eldest sister's reaction, and continued: "After all, the flow of people on this street is definitely not able to support both of our families at the same time... The store opposite is just a small area.

It’s more than three times that of our family... If their business stabilizes, our family will definitely be doomed..."

"Tsk!"

Riho Hachiyanagi clicked her tongue, feeling a little sympathetic to her mother's hard work over the years.

"Let's discuss this with mom later and make a decision... Mingsui, didn't you just say there were three responses? What's the last one?"

She gathered her thoughts and raised her eyes to look at her third sister.

She also knows Mingsui's character very well. She always puts what she likes to eat last, and she only takes action when she is absolutely sure about what she wants to do.

For a response like this, the best way is definitely to put it last.

Thinking of this, she looked expectantly and looked encouragingly at the third sister who looked a little hesitant.

"The last method... is actually very simple... and has the best effect..."

Mingsui hesitated for a while, first looked at the second sister next to her who was looking lost in thought and biting her little finger. Then she put her head close to her eldest sister and lowered her voice and said:

"The reputation of a restaurant is the most important. Our street mainly has fixed customers, and the proportion of floating customers is relatively small, so we only need to secretly visit the restaurant when it has just opened opposite and the reputation is not yet established.

They add something to their ingredients, or put some cockroaches and mice into their kitchen, and then call the health reporting hotline. As long as they are banned once, the matter will spread nearby, and they will lose the trust of their customers.

....”

When Risui Yayanagi heard the serious analysis on her third sister's cold face, she raised her eyebrows slightly and bit her lower lip with her white teeth, showing some hesitation on her face.

"this..."

"Sister, I know what you are thinking, but think about it. The location of a large chain store like this is directly opposite us. This in itself means that it does not take us seriously and wants to take advantage of the reputation and reputation of the large chain store.

To defeat us at low cost is to compete forcefully with us. This is our enemy..."

Mingsui pursed her lips and continued with a cold face: "When I was practicing kendo with Nakano Nissan, he said that when facing the enemy, you must go all out and not be merciful. As long as you can defeat the enemy, you can do it in any way.

Yes! Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to one's own people. The result of being soft-hearted may lead to the bankruptcy of our Baliu family and our family living on the streets. Doesn't that matter, sister?"
