Chapter VI Purchase
Next.
After going out to eat a bowl of raw boiled noodles, Megumi Yanagishita went straight to Dongcheng Market.
The twelve chickens left by the uncle yesterday have all been sold, and today he has to go to the market to "buy"!
There are two relatively large markets in Baizhou County, one is the Dongcheng Market in the prosperous area, and the other is the relatively remote Nancheng Market.
Ten years later, with the shift of the focus of the county's development, the development of the Nancheng market slowly surpassed the Dongcheng market and became the most prosperous vegetable market in the county.
Of course, the current boss of the vegetable market is still Dongcheng Market.
Compared with those big cities, Baizhou County is naturally an inconspicuous small county seat.
But in fact, this small county town is not small at all, even among the more than 1,600 counties in the country, Baizhou County's population ranking can be squeezed into the top three, which is a veritable county with a large population.
Dongcheng Market is the most prosperous vegetable market in the county, and there are naturally not only three or two chicken dealers, but more than a dozen.
Yanagishita Hui looked at it from beginning to end and found that among the dozen or so chicken stalls, eighty percent were selling feed chickens, and the remaining two percent were selling some pseudo-local chickens.
The classification of chickens is actually very complicated, and in general it can be divided into three categories, namely pheasants, native chickens, and feed chickens.
Pheasants belong to game, and wild meat is not touched in this life because of some well-known reasons, so it is not mentioned.
Native chickens are local chickens, also called grass chickens, firewood chickens, and stupid chickens, which are domesticated from ancient domestication, and have never undergone any hybridization and optimal breeding, and have been fed naturally or combined with rough feeding for a long time, and have strong foraging and survival ability in the wild. It has the characteristics of resistance to rough feeding, strong nesting and disease resistance, and the meat is delicious.
Feed chickens, which are different from broiler chickens of native chickens, are also known as "cage-raised chickens" and "house-raised chickens".
Refers to a certain scale of farm breeding broilers, for intensive feeding, small activity space, not in contact with the sun, a batch of feed chicken feather color, foot color is consistent, foot color to yellow mostly.
The food consumed by feed chickens is very fixed, all are compound feed, and the growth cycle is only two months or less than two months, so the nutrients accumulated in the meat are less, and the meat fiber is thick and short.
In Yanagishita Hui's hometown, local chickens are generally called domestic chickens, and feed chickens are called breeding chickens.
In fact, although the meat quality of chickens is related to the breed of chickens, the most important thing is the acquired breeding method.
For example, feed chickens, if when the chickens are small, you use them as native chickens, in addition to feeding some rice every day, let them go out to forage for food, and raise them for a year and a half, then this feed chicken is still a feed chicken?
Another example is a native chicken, if when it is small, you use it as a feed chicken to raise, keep it in a cage all day long, and feed it with good feed, then is this still a native chicken?
Therefore, the meat quality of chickens is closely related to the way they are raised, even if it is the same breed, with different feeding methods, the final meat quality is also very different.
The reason why there is a pseudo-local chicken is based on this breeding method.
If he is not mistaken, these so-called local chickens are actually feed chickens, but in terms of breeding methods, there is a big difference between them and those feed chickens that pay attention to quick production.
Not to mention anything else, at least the breeding time should be more than five months, which can be seen from the cockscomb and chicken feet.
In terms of meat quality, it is more than less than the top, in the middle of the local chicken and feed chicken, and it is sold as a local chicken, whether it is a person who understands chickens or a person who does not understand chickens, it will not be too serious.
After all, even in the year 2000, it was impossible to buy authentic rural chickens on the market.
Of course, if it's in the township, it's no problem at all, and now the small restaurant in Yanagishitahui's hometown, the chickens basically used are authentic rural chickens.
In the countryside now, it is too easy to buy those delicious rural chickens, which is like twenty years later, even if you return to your rural hometown, it is difficult to buy authentic rural chickens.
......
Feed chicken 4.3 yuan ~ 4.5 yuan / catty.
Native chicken 6.5 yuan ~ 6.8 yuan / catty.
That's the approximate price of a dozen chicken stalls in Dongcheng Market.
In order to ensure the taste of white-cut chicken, Yanagishita Hui will definitely not choose the kind of feed chicken that can be quickly made in one or two months, and it is unrealistic to go to the countryside to buy local chickens, so he can only focus on those pseudo-local chicken stalls.
Although this pseudo-local chicken is not as authentic as the authentic rural chicken, but the meat quality is still a grade higher than those quick feed chickens, and in Yanagishita Hui's opinion, it should have a fight with the twelve chickens raised by the old man.
Therefore, after seeing it, Yanagishita Hui chose one of the pseudo-local chicken stalls that looked relatively old (dialect, that is, the meaning of raising for a long time) and began to bargain.
"Boss, can your chicken be cheaper?"
"Brother Housheng, I'm sorry, my price can't be cheaper, no matter how cheap it is, I won't make any money!"
"Boss, I bought not just one, but a dozen, can't the price be cheaper?"
"If you want a dozen, then six yuan and sixty-one pounds will be given to you!"
"Boss, it's only a dime a penny, this is too insincere, isn't it?"
"Brother Housheng, I am a local chicken, which is different from those feed chickens, the purchase price is expensive, my small business, I didn't make much money originally, and if I don't have enough, I will be busy in vain!"
"Boss, don't bully me when I'm young, I don't understand, you know if it's a local chicken, I won't tell you more, you can look at the price! Anyway, I want more than a dozen chickens every day, if the price is right, I will cooperate with you for a long time, if the price is not suitable, then I will find another house!"
"Little brother, are you telling the truth?
"Of course it's true, you only have one chance to make a bid, I hope you think it through!"
The chicken stall owner's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Six yuan three, little brother, this is the lowest price!"
Yanagishita Hui took out the bargaining methods of a platform anchor and e-commerce in later generations, and continued to bargain: "Six yuan, boss, I am a stable big customer, although I earn a little less per catty, but the small profits are quick turnover, and in general it is still very cost-effective!"
Moreover, I'm not afraid to tell you that a dozen a dozen a day is just the initial number, and if we have a good cooperation, the number I need may continue to increase in the coming period!"
The chicken stall owner vomited blood and said: "Little brother, you killed too hard at this price, I have just lowered the lowest price for you, and then drop it by three cents, let alone make money, I will lose money!"
Megumi Yanagishita gave an ultimatum and said toughly: "Boss, don't fool me, in a word, okay? If it's okay, catch the chicken immediately, if it doesn't work, I'll turn around and leave!"
The chicken stall owner hurriedly said: "Little brother, I really ...... this price Six pieces two, this is my ...... Hey, little brother, don't go yet, come back quickly, and give you six yuan a ...... This is me...... Well, you win!!"
......
Three minutes later, the chicken stall owner smiled bitterly and said, "Little brother, you are so powerful, you are too ruthless in bargaining, and I have no money!"
Yanagishita Hui said with a smile: "Boss, look at what you say, who will do a loss-making business? Although your profit per chicken has declined, but the small profits are quick turnover, in general, you must not make less money, everyone will make a fortune together!"
The chicken stall owner gave a thumbs up and praised: "Admire, little brother, you are really promising!"
Yanagishita Megumi laughed and said, "It's over, you should help with the delivery here, right?"
The owner of the chicken stall said: "Help delivery, as long as it is within the county area, I will help deliver it, if I go out of the county, then I can't do anything!"
Yanagishita Hui shook his head and said, "I didn't leave the county, I just went to Dog Alley!"
The chicken stall owner nodded and said, "Of course it's fine!"
Next, Yanagishita Hui began to select chickens, and picked a total of ten, weighing 53.6 catties, which is 321.6 yuan according to 6 yuan per catty.
It was easy to ask the other party to erase the fraction in the back, and it only cost 320 yuan.
"Little brother, just like you, it's hard to get rich in business!"
"Haha, if you have a fortune, boss, you help me send these ten chickens back first, and I'll come over to pick a few more in the afternoon!"
"Okay, no problem!"
In fact, when choosing chickens, Megumi Yanagishita wanted to choose fifteen, not ten.
It's just that his current pocket is full, and it is less than four hundred yuan, and he can't afford to buy fifteen chickens at all, so he can only buy ten chickens first, and then pick a few more after the chickens in the morning are sold to return the funds.
