Chapter 107: Boss Zhang Comes to the Door
The price increase is not large, only a penny a day, but after a few more days, it will almost catch up with Hu Mingchen's family to collect the best ginger price.
"Dad, starting today, let's increase the purchase price of our family by five cents. On the day of the National Day, after Hu Mingchen came back from exercising early in the morning, he and his family ate corn porridge with a bowl, and he said while eating.
As soon as they heard that Hu Mingchen had raised the price so much, Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai were taken aback.
"Why do you want to improve so much?"
"Raise my money all of a sudden, aren't you crazy, those at home haven't sold a pound, don't you think you're losing money?"
"The price of a pound on the street has increased for two or three days in a row, and if we don't raise the price again, we won't be able to receive ginger. Don't worry, if you can't lose money, how can those guys buy it at a higher price?" Hu Mingchen snorted and drank a bowl of porridge, put chopsticks on the bowl and said: "Those people are better than monkeys, and they won't do loss-making business." ”
"Now it's not about people, it's about us. Jiang Yucai said.
"Xiao Chen, didn't our family tell those people that the price would only go down, why didn't they raise the price without saying hello to our family?" Hu Yandie tilted her head and asked a little incomprehensibly.
Although Hu Yandie is older than Hu Mingchen, in a subtle way, she has consciously or unconsciously thought that she is not as good as Hu Mingchen.
Hu Mingchen can not only earn money, but his academic performance in school has suddenly changed from an ugly duckling to a white swan, and he can get answers to Hu Mingchen about homework they don't know how to do at home. Under the influence of various factors, Hu Yandie, the elder sister, gradually lowered her status.
"It's very simple, they're not monolithic, those guys are also intrigued. Seeing that ginger is easy to sell, and can still make money, in order to grab the goods, of course, to increase the price, as long as there is one, or as long as there is a single price higher by a penny, then you can only follow this trend to go up, one comes and goes, it becomes that you rise after I rise, I rise and you rise again. Dad, Mom, their reaction shows a problem, that is, this year's market situation is better than in previous years, otherwise you wouldn't be chasing me. They're all up, and of course we can't sit still. Hu Mingchen explained.
"Then we can only raise it by two cents, and there is no need to pay as much as five cents all at once. Besides, when people raise prices, there is a way to sell them, and they are guaranteed to make money, but ...... Our family still doesn't know who the ginger will be sold to, let alone what price it will be sold.
"How can it be smashed in your hands? Hehe, dried ginger is not stone and mud, you are afraid that no one really wants it, don't worry, I have a way to sell it, not only can I sell it, but also can sell it at a good price, believe me, you don't have to worry about this." Hu Mingchen said with a smile.
Hu Mingchen hasn't mastered any sales channels yet, but he must say so, otherwise it won't be enough to secure his family's hearts.
"If you think five cents is too much, Dad, like you said, add two points, and add two points every two days in the future. At this stage, what we have to think about is not how to sell it, but how to collect enough ginger. Hu Mingchen then added.
"We still have about 2,000 yuan in our house, and ginger is now the time to go on the market, and in ten days, the digging should be finished." The key is that our family only needs the best, otherwise if we want to open it up, we can spend it in two days. Don't worry about receiving ginger, you, let's think about how to sell it, no one has come to the door now, I'm really worried. After Jiang Yucai ate half a bowl, he put the bowl down.
During this time, Hu Mingchen has been constantly withdrawing money from the card seller to replenish it, and the money borrowed from Wang Zhan has been spent, and Hu Mingchen's own reserved money has also been used seventy-seven eighty-eight, otherwise, his family would have bottomed out.
At present, Hu Mingchen's family has roasted more than 3,000 catties of dried ginger, but not a single catty has been sold, and seeing those piles of dried ginger are getting higher and higher, which makes Jiang Yucai feel that she is really worried, and her pressure seems to be greater than Hu Mingchen's.
Although dried ginger is stored for much longer than ginger, it does not mean that it will not spoil and deteriorate. After a long time, there will still be problems. After this moment, those who harvest ginger will not come, they will only gather in Duge Township in this season, and it is even more difficult to meet a businessman from other places in Duge Township.
If you don't sell it at this time, it is very likely that you will wait for the next year, in that case, will these dried gingers still be sold? If you can, can you still sell them at a price? What's more, you have to occupy a special room to stack them, and what if it rains heavily and leaks?
"Don't worry, rest assured, I know in my heart, I borrowed the capital, can I not know? I also have to pay back. Selling is definitely selling, but you believe me, I will find a suitable price and buyer. Hu Mingchen could only reassure his family again and again.
Hu Mingchen doesn't have to go to school today, so he participated in the harvesting of ginger, and in one morning, Hu Mingchen's family collected more than 600 catties, according to this ripening rate, his family has no problem with 14500 catties a day.
"Hu Mingchen, why is your ginger only harvested but not sold?" Zhong Ying sat on a small bench, but his hands kept cleaning the beautiful ginger in the big basin.
"Grandma, it's going to sell. After Hu Mingchen sent away a villager who sold ginger, he replied lukewarmly.
In fact, Hu Mingchen also knew during this time that the people who helped his family wash ginger were more or less discussing this issue.
Their wages for washing ginger are not settled every day, but on the account, and they will not settle the account until all the money is washed.
In other words, they don't get paid until the dried ginger is sold. Their discussion, on the one hand, was of course worried about Hu Mingchen's family, but on the other hand, they were somewhat worried that they would not be able to get their wages.
"Ancestor, you have to wash more, there are a lot of today's amounts. Hu Xiaomin squatted in Long Cui'e's big basin and said with a smile.
Because they don't study, children at home will help their parents do what they can. Among them, girls are much more conscious, and boys would rather go up the mountain to cut pigweed or herd cattle than do things under the noses of adults. If you are not around adults, you can be lazy and unrestrained.
Hu Xiaomin is helping Long Cui'e, Song Chunmei's daughter and Li Xiuju's daughter are also helping their mother.
Anyway, you can get four cents more by washing an extra pound, and it is no problem for these children to help wash seventy or eighty pounds at the end of the day.
Even Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao each took a small basin to wash on the side. The entire courtyard of Hu Mingchen's house was filled with a very strong smell of ginger.
After a long time, everyone became accustomed to it, and at the beginning, the strong smell made some people want to vomit.
"You little hoof, you help your mother wash it, and you don't help the ancestor wash it a little, I'm embarrassed to talk about it. Zhong Ying smiled and scolded Hu Xiaomin.
"Hehe, I'll help my mom wash it, she bought me shoes, and you don't buy them for me, of course I can't help you." Hu Xiaomin said with a smile.
"Hu Jianjun, I heard that the few shops on the street have started to make money, your family should be trending this year, have you calculated how much money you can make?"
Hu Jianjun had just turned over a pot of ginger, and he was sweating profusely, when he wiped his face with a towel: "What's the situation, don't you see that the roasted ginger is still piled up in the hall, and it has to be sold." ”
"Then hurry up and sell it, I heard that the price is very good this year, if I had known this, my family should also learn from your family and collect some ginger to sell." Song Chunmei said.
"Hehe, Song Chunmei, it's still too late, you hurry back, vacate your house, beat the gong and drum, and you can take it." Li Xiumei sat up straight and stretched, laughing and joking.
"It's still too late to be a ghost, the ginger is almost finished, I'm going to collect it now, and drink the water for washing my feet? Besides, what money do I take from others? That's to prepare the capital in advance." Song Chunmei replied seriously.
According to Song Chunmei's attitude, maybe her family may really jump in and do it again next year. In her mind, Hu Jianjun's family can do this condition, so there is no reason why her family can't do it.
"On credit, hahaha. Zhong Ying added.
"On credit, the salary can be on credit, I haven't heard that the sale is also on credit, I heard that you are on credit, and the second brother of the ghost will sell it to your family. Song Chunmei said.
They were idle, but Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianjun were reluctant to join in, so they each found something to do at hand and walked away.
Their inclusion will affect the efficiency of washing ginger, and it is not easy to explain to them why it is not sold yet.
Just when a few women were chatting, two people walked down the path above Hu Mingchen's house, at this time Hu Mingchen was about to pour the ginger he had just received into a big basin, and when he saw someone coming, he thought it was a ginger seller, so he stopped what he was doing, but when he raised his eyes and saw the appearance of the person who came, Hu Mingchen was surprised in his heart.
The person who came did not come to sell ginger on his back, on the contrary, it was very likely that he came to buy ginger, why? Because Hu Mingchen knew him, the person who came was actually the boss Zhang and his driver whom he had seen at Wang Chengwu's house.
How did these two people come to Huangni Village, were they just passing by?
