Chapter 51: Fried Eggs
The first time he encountered such a surprising thing, Tong Chen didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to follow what Lao Zhang said, let's talk about it after a while, if it can't be contacted, let's find a way.
Then, Tong Chen expressed his willingness to sell local eggs, and indicated that he was willing to buy them for four yuan a catty.
Lao Zhang sat on the stool and was silent for a while, he did accumulate some eggs, but the price of four yuan a pound is a bit low, this is not an ordinary egg after all, the price is seven or eight yuan, he will definitely agree immediately, and put it here, it will not be good if you can't eat it for a long time.
"Uncle Zhang, I know that this price must be a bit low, but I definitely didn't cheat you, I only sold it for five yuan a catty, and it was not very easy to sell", Tong Chen said and talked about selling his own eggs.
Lao Zhang was about to say if the price could be raised a little more, but he didn't expect Tong Chen to speak in advance, and at this point, it seems that it is impossible to increase it.
"Xiaochen, why did you suddenly remember to sell eggs?", Lao Zhang was also a little puzzled, college students are not working hard outside, and they actually remembered to sell eggs at home, which is also a strange thing.
Tong Chen was dumbfounded, and for a moment: "Although selling eggs doesn't sound good, it's also a career."
"Uncle Zhang, it's not a matter if we can't eat the remaining eggs and put them there, they will definitely deteriorate after a long time, although four yuan a pound is not much, but it is still more expensive than ordinary eggs, if you don't go out to sell, naturally you can't sell them at a high price, I buy yours, first, you don't have to worry about what to do with the eggs, and secondly, you don't have to bother to get the money immediately", Tong Chen continued to explain.
Lao Zhang naturally understands this principle.
"What you said does make sense, so be it, Xiaochen, I'll sell you ten catties first, you don't have to rush to give the money first, it's not too late to give it when you sell it out", Lao Zhang was convinced, no matter how high the price is, you can't sell it, it's worthless.
Tong Chen was a little touched by this trust, and after receiving the ten catties of eggs, he did not continue to buy, because he wanted to try a new way to sell local eggs today, and he might not be able to sell them if he brought too much.
Wangwu Hotel is a relatively small hotel in the county, that is, a small restaurant with seven or eight tables in the store, Tong Chen came to the door of this Wangwu Hotel with a box containing eggs.
Since it was morning when Tong Chen came, there were not many people in the hotel, and he attracted the attention of the hotel owner as soon as he entered the door.
"Young man, are you eating, eating something?"
In fact, Tong Chen was also a little awkward in his heart, and he always felt that the promotion of goods was weaker and inferior, but now, he only had the steps to move forward.
"I'm not here to eat, is there a shortage of eggs in your restaurant? I have my own native eggs, which are of good quality and inexpensive," Tong Chen hurriedly introduced.
A woman next to the boss changed her face instantly when she heard this: "I thought there was a dinner, but I didn't expect it to be a salesman, we don't buy any eggs, let's leave quickly."
Tong Chen sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that things would not be so easy, others refused directly without saying a word, he could even feel this woman's disgust for him.
Did I mess with you, eldest sister, do you need to be so resentful? Tong Chen couldn't stand this kind of resentment, so he turned his head and left directly.
Then Tong Chen calmed down and continued to sell in such a restaurant, but he went three and was rejected by three, and if he had a better temper, he said that we are not short of eggs here, you go to other houses to have a look, and some say that we have our own supply channels, and there is no shortage of your eggs.
If you have a bad temper, Tong Chen will suffer, he seems to be a child who has made a mistake, we can use ordinary eggs, why spend a lot of money to buy you eggs, are you in the wrong place.
At the end of the morning, Tong Chen was stunned that he didn't sell a pound of eggs, he sat on the side of the road sweating, and couldn't help but be a little dazed.
Generally, restaurants have their own supply channels, and it is really not good to sell them with a few catties of eggs to the door, people are short of eggs, and they will not buy their own expensive eggs, and their own sales and others are definitely two different things.
This task seems simple, but it is not easy, although surviving in the wilderness is also difficult, in the city is a different kind of difficulty.
After buying some food on the side of the road to cope with his stomach, Tong Chen continued to sell his eggs in the afternoon, but this time his target was changed to a few more high-end hotels in the county.
After thinking about it, Tong Chen felt that ordinary restaurants couldn't afford to consume this kind of expensive eggs.
After walking into a large-scale hotel, Tong Chen didn't expect to see the person in charge yet, and the waiter asked him to leave, of course Tong Chen was a little unwilling, and he was cheeky and rubbed against the supervisor in charge of the kitchen.
"I heard what kind of eggs are you selling?", a middle-aged man in a chef's uniform walked out.
Tong Chen hurriedly replied: "Well, this is my home-grown native egg, and the taste is definitely much better than ordinary eggs."
The supervisor did not directly refuse: "I do need relatively high-quality eggs here as our ingredients, but we need more than 30 catties of eggs a day on average, do you have this amount?"
The man asked Tong Chen in a word, he was stunned, he didn't know how to speak, he was just making a small fuss, how could there be so many eggs, Tong Chen would not open his mouth.
"And we have chicken farmers to send eggs every day, and there is generally no shortage of eggs, if you want us to accept your eggs, unless the price of your eggs is lower than this price, of course, the quality must be guaranteed", the man said the head of the way, Tong Chen was stunned when he heard it.
Tong Chen walked out of the hotel, he felt that he was a little stupid, he didn't know anything, so he ran around to sell what eggs, are people short of eggs?
Tong Chen didn't go to any more restaurants to sell his eggs, being hit was on the one hand, and on the other hand, he felt that he couldn't sell them at all in a situation like his.
Holding a carton of eggs for almost a busy day, but not a pound was sold, Tong Chen's mood can be imagined, there are thousands of thoughts in his head, he even thinks that it is not the restaurant to sell eggs This method does not work at all, it is better to honestly squat in the market to sell eggs, in that way, maybe there are dozens of income, and it is further away from completing the task, but now, not to mention the waste of a day, there is no income yet, and it is really a dog to step on the horse.
came out with confidence and went home in disgrace, describing Tong Chen at this time.
As soon as she got home, Lin Wanru noticed Tong Chen, who was still holding a not light box.
"How much did you sell today?"
It seems to be a very ordinary greeting, but it sounds a little uncomfortable to Tong Chen, I haven't sold a pound, you still ask me how much I sell, to tell the truth, I really can't afford to lose this face.
Tong Chen didn't reply, and returned to his house directly with the box.
