Zhang Pandi was worried: "Yaoguang, the shop across the street has stolen all our business. What should we do?"
Although we earned some Silver recently, and saving it could keep us well-fed and clothed for years, abruptly stopping such a good business feels as painful as carving out our heart.
"How could they steal it all?" Su Yaoguang responded, "They've just opened, and customers are drawn by the novelty. It's normal for them to flock there these days. Once this novelty wears off, discerning customers will recognize our goods are superior, and naturally will spend the money. We must not lower our prices; if we do, what will previous customers think? With fewer customers these days, we might as well take a break and prepare the next batch of goods. By the way, I was thinking of brewing wine myself; I didn't have the time before, but now I do, so I'll get this done first."
