Chapter Seventy-Five: Selling Vegetables by the Way

Zhao Qingzao said again: "Now I'm worried about the problem of raw materials, the duck eggs I bought last time have been used up, and I don't have much experience, and the ones I bought are not the most cost-effective, and they are all bought in bulk, which is expensive and laborious." In the future, our business will gradually stabilize, and we will have to find a long-term channel with low prices and guarantees. ”

This is also the problem she has always been most worried about, there are no large-scale farms here, not even a little scale, the small-scale economy is self-produced and self-sufficient, and more are taken out and sold, all of which are scattered, which is very unfavorable for her to want long-term stable development. If she doesn't receive enough raw materials one day, it will be a big blow to her.

Shen Changting looked annoyed when he saw her, and he was willing to help her share the burden, thought about it, and proposed: "Why don't we collect it from the village?" Most of the people in the village also raise ducks, and there will be some surplus, although the number is fragmented, but as long as we talk about more people, it will add up to enough. And they are all from their own village, and the price will not make it difficult for us. In this way, we can ensure that there are enough duck eggs, and the villagers do not have to accumulate for a long time by themselves, or go to the market to sell them for a few inspections, and everyone is much cheaper. ”

Zhao Qingzao had also thought of buying in the village before, and the most worrying point was that the raw materials were too fragmentary, some people had more families, some people had fewer families, and they might not have saved a few in half a month, which was too troublesome. At this time, I heard Shen Changting mention it again, and after thinking about it again, I felt that what he said was not bad, and it didn't matter at all, almost everyone else overcharged.

As long as you make it clear at the beginning, make a contract, and then follow it, it's not too much trouble. At least the quality of the duck eggs collected in this way can be guaranteed, and the villagers will be willing to lower the price without the trouble of going to the market to sell them in a hurry. Another point is to be able to have a more harmonious relationship with the people in the village. They are weak in the village, and if they don't have a good relationship with the villagers, it is difficult to say that they will not be excluded.

It's not that Zhao Qingzao spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it's really like this how people get along with each other, especially in the countryside, everyone's entertainment is really scarce, and the villagers who have nothing to do are quite willing to gossip about other people's houses behind their backs, and wear small shoes for people openly and secretly.

This is not to say how bad people's hearts are, but in areas where education is serious but opposite, and the economy is relatively backward, there are just some bad habits that cannot be changed for thousands of years. Since she has to show up to do business in the future, it is also a good thing to have a good relationship with the people in the village.

Thinking about it like this, she agreed: "Okay, then do it, I'll go to the village tomorrow and ask." ”

Shen Changting was also very happy to see that she accepted her proposal, and asked Zhao Qingzao if he wanted to accompany him, but he was refused, and he was not angry.

said that he would go again tomorrow, but Zhao Qingzao was in a hurry, and after a while, he couldn't help it, so he went to Grandma Niu's house to ask.

Grandma Niu has a few ducks, and there are many duck eggs in addition to eating them at home, and I heard that Zhao Qingzao was going to buy preserved eggs, so I agreed immediately, and gave a very low price.

How could Zhao Qingzao be equal to taking the old man's house for nothing, and still paid a price similar to the market: "Grandma, we will follow this price in the future, don't always think about taking care of me, this is not a matter of once or twice, and the days will be long in the future! In the future, your duck eggs will be kept for me, and I will pickle them and then sell them, which is called a win-win situation." ”

What a win-win situation, Grandma Niu didn't understand, but she liked Zhao Qingzao's baby very much, and she also echoed it, smiling happily: "Okay, grandma, listen to you." You kid just have a lot of ghost ideas, one trick a day, grandma can't understand it. But Grandma also has someone who can help, Grandma will go with you tomorrow, this village is still Grandma washed, and then I can help you negotiate the price. ”

With Grandma Niu's help, it is naturally better, Zhao Qingzao was originally afraid of troublesome others, so she didn't think about it, but Grandma Niu insisted, she was also happy to have a helper, and then she would honor Grandma when she made money: "Of course it's good, with Grandma here, you must get to the 'poultry'." ”

The next day, Grandma Niu really introduced Zhao Qingzao to several families with duck eggs, and personally took her to those families, and the people in the village gave Grandma a face, plus Zhao Qingzao's smiling face continued, which looked very pleasing to the eye, and the most important thing was that the price given by Zhao Qingzao was cost-effective, and it could save the trouble of going to the market to sell, so he agreed to come down at the moment.

The money and goods on both sides were lost, and these people introduced other people one after another, Zhao Qingzao saw it, they were all fresh duck eggs, and they were all home-raised, which was really good, and accepted it, and told them that it would be kept for her next time, or at this price, everyone agreed to come down.

The transaction went smoothly, Zhao Qingzao breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, there is no need to worry about the supply of goods in the future, just these few households are enough to supply, even if she expands the scale in the future, there will be enough supply in the village. It can be regarded as a solution to the worries.

Zhao Qingzao was in a hurry and pickled another batch of preserved eggs. Taking advantage of the attention caused by preserved eggs now, she plans to concentrate on making preserved eggs first, although salted duck eggs are also selling well, but because other vendors are also selling, the price is substituted, and she can't make any money. Preserved eggs not only have a unique taste and can attract guests, but the most important thing is that it is unique, so that the price is completely in the hands of Zhao Qingzao.

In fact, if she has enough energy, Zhao Qingzao is still willing to take care of both, but if she usually goes to work, she takes advantage of the remaining time to do these things, and it is very tiring to do one, and she really has no more time to take care of all aspects, so she has to focus on one item first.

Shen Changting watched Zhao Qingzao busy and wanted to help, Zhao Qingzao was unwilling, looking at him as weak and windy, if he was overworked and sick, and the anti-Russian day caused trouble to people, it was better to stay quietly on the side.

Shen Changting, who was rejected, had no choice but to hold the book and watch it on the side, even if he couldn't help, at least he could talk with him and relieve his boredom.

A few days later, another batch of preserved eggs was developed, and Zhao Qingzao took them to the market.

Before Zhao Qingzao walked to the stall before her, she saw a lot of people gathered there, and she sighed in her heart, it was too late, and the position was occupied. This is originally a mobile position, anyone can use it, and the location is good.

It's not good to be a teacher. Zhao Qingzao sighed in her heart, cheered up, and planned to find a new position, but saw that the people in front of her were flowing, and several people came forward to greet her, all of whom were previous guests: "You can be counted, come on, come on, come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Zhao Qingzao's eyes widened, what's the matter, is this taking a place for her? Hehe, it's okay. She hurried over, put down the preserved eggs, and took out the price that Shen Changting had newly written, and put it on the side.

She had already said last time that she would raise the price, but this time there were not too many people who were dissatisfied, and even beyond Zhao Qingzao's imagination, the scene was surprisingly lively and harmonious.

"Last time I bought five back, my family of old and young, one meal was finished, these days still urge me to come again, all said that the boss will wait a few days to come, non-stop, just to eat preserved eggs. An aunt laughed and complained, causing a chorus of laughter from all around.

The other also said: "Isn't it, my little ghost, I went to the next door and tasted a piece, and when I came back, I asked me to buy it, but I wanted to see how delicious it was." ”

It seems that the publicity effect last time was very good, and now the people who have eaten it have an understanding and are willing to accept preserved eggs, and potential customers who have not eaten it are also curious about preserved eggs under the publicity of these guests.

And Zhao Qingzao is the only one who has mastered the preserved egg technique, so she doesn't need to worry about competitors at all.

Guests, there are five of you and ten of him, and they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it when it is too late, and Zhao Qingzao is full of joy in collecting money.

At this time, an uncle of about fifty squeezed in, and he didn't buy it, just watched from the sidelines. Zhao Qingzao was a little puzzled, most of the people who came to buy vegetables in this market were housewives, there were not many men, and most of them also came with their families, and it was rare to see a single man come to buy vegetables alone, so he couldn't help but look at it twice.

Someone next to him recognized the person: "Isn't this the manager of Fugui Restaurant? You also heard that preserved eggs are sold here, come and try them?"

Zhao Qingzao was busy, and her ears were slightly pricked up, if she could get the order from the restaurant, it would of course be more cost-effective than her coming out to sell it at a fraction, so it would reduce manpower and increase the price a lot.

The steward didn't sell it, and said directly: "Yes, it's spread in the city in the past two days, and the guests who come to our restaurant to eat are talking about this. ”

He said to Zhao Qingzao: "I have heard how unique this preserved egg is, and I have tasted it, and the taste is acceptable, but this color is not all ordinary duck eggs, it does not look good, and the way to eat it is too monotonous." I've heard that you've taught guests how to cook preserved eggs, so I'm here today to ask you to cook a few dishes. ”

Of course, there is no problem! Zhao Qingzao endured the joy in his heart, doing business is like this, he can't expose his hole cards, if the other party knows that he is in a hurry to cooperate, he will be pinched, and his confidence will be insufficient when negotiating.

So she just agreed very normally, and said with a smile: "Please also ask this steward to wait on the side, I will come with you when I sell these." ”

When the guests heard their conversation, they were afraid that the preserved eggs, which were not enough, would be snatched away by the restaurant again, so they all stepped forward one after another, and after a while, they were sold out. I was satisfied with what I bought, and I was naturally a little unwilling to buy what I didn't buy, and I urged Zhao Qingzao to come early next time.

Zhao Qingzao was also full of joy when he saw that preserved eggs were so popular, and agreed to come down one by one.

After that, she followed the steward to the restaurant. The steward led her to the kitchen and told her to cook a few dishes first. When the cooks in the kitchen saw Zhao Qingzao, they all came over curiously to take a look.

Zhao Qingzao took out a few preserved eggs that he had left before, played at a super level, divided three times by five, and made several dishes. The main reason is that the kitchen utensils in the restaurant are much more convenient than those commonly used at home, which makes Zhao Qingzao feel like a generation of celebrity chefs.

The classic preserved egg tofu, the simple cold preserved eggs, the hot dishes include fried preserved eggs with pepper oil, and a pot of fragrant preserved eggs and lean porridge was cooked. Everyone admired it, and after the stewards and chefs tasted it, they were full of praise.

The steward immediately booked an order with Zhao Qingzao and asked her to send it directly to the restaurant later. also sealed some money for her, hoping that Zhao Qingzao would sell them the recipes she made today.

Zhao Qingzao happily agreed, told them the recipe in detail, and went out with the money in his arms.
