Chapter 017: Clever Return Gift (1)
"It's too expensive, you don't have to buy it!" The stall owner spoke rudely, and directly slashed the pig butcher knife in his hand to the chopping board in front of him, the sharp blade glowed silver-white, and Liu Leshan subconsciously took a step back. Jian Ning also frowned, this stall owner was a little too unreasonable.
"Senior brother, let's go to another house and ask." Now is not the time to cause trouble, and since it can't be done here, it's a big deal to change it.
As soon as the two of them turned around, before they could take a step, they remembered a mocking voice behind them: "I don't have money and I want to buy pork, it's at this price wherever I go, hum!" ”
Liu Leshan turned around, wanting to theorize a few words, but was stopped by Jian Ning.
"Senior brother, it's important to solve the ingredient problem first."
In the following time, Jian Ning and Liu Leshan went to a few more shops, and it was strange that two of the three larger meat stalls in Yangxin County had not been bought. It's morning, how can it be sold out so quickly?
One of the three is the one that Liu Leshan originally ordered, and it is a fixed vendor in Shiweiyuan, and it is normal for them to sell to others at a high price without goods, but the other one, it is not in cooperation with the big restaurant, and it usually only provides some meat to some taverns, and there is no possibility of selling it short so quickly.
"Senior brother, does the meat stall that sold the high price just now have any connection with Baiwei Building?" Things are weird, that is, someone deliberately designed it, and the food garden can't get along with Baiweilou, and I really can't find a second one.
"What junior sister means is that the butcher stall should provide pork to Baiweilou." Liu Leshan is not stupid, no matter how Jian Ning asked, he also knew that things were not simple.
"Senior sister, since the big traders are gone, we might as well go to the small traders and ask."
"No, even if the small traders have meat, they buy it from the big traders, and that amount doesn't make much difference at all."
"The most important thing is that since Yin Jian has designed a plan to make it difficult for us, it is not easy to sell pork at the right price, not only pork, but also other dishes."
He spent money to buy a lot of vegetables, but the supply of ingredients in Baiweilou was normal, so this batch of ingredients became a problem. So he deliberately asked people to raise the price of these dishes sharply, and when other people saw this, they would naturally go to cheap stalls to buy them, and they were afraid that the prices of these stalls would also rise, so they would buy more than usual, so that the pork would naturally sell faster. Now Yin Jian wants to force us to buy back the ingredients he stole at a high price, he not only made money, but also made us lose money, which is not conducive to opening. ”
The more Jian Ning thought about it, the more she felt that Yin Jian was despicable, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. But at the same time, the dark and cunning factor in my heart is also boiling. Hehe, since Yin Jian's design is so good, if you want to see the food garden and see your own jokes, how can you not return a gift!
"Senior brother, I don't think there's any need for us to continue to spend here." Although Baiwei Building has only been open for more than a year, Jian Ning always feels that there are people behind Yin Jian, and in Yuanchu, the power is definitely not low, otherwise, the decoration of Baiwei Building is not something that Yin Jian's level can do. Now there is this kind of price control, you must know that this price is under the control of the government, although now it is only a price increase, but no one earns a small pork seller to take such courage. If you want to say that there is no one behind Yin Jian, you don't believe it.
"But junior sister, this is the only vegetable, meat and poultry market in Yangxin County, what can we do if we can't buy it here? Is it really necessary to delay the opening of the business? In the past ten days, everyone in the food garden has been working hard, and they are about to see the results, how can they be hit by such a blow at this juncture, this is a big bad luck.
"The Food Garden will open as scheduled!" Jian Ning's eyes flashed with a little light, "Senior brother, since someone gave us such a big one to open the door, how can we not return the gift!" ”
Liu Leshan was full of doubts by Jian Ning's words, and now he can't even solve the ingredients, so can he still open as scheduled? Not to mention the matter of finding Baiwei Building?
"Senior brother, how smart are you to be confused for a while, although this is the only vegetable, meat and poultry market in Yangxin County, but senior brother, why don't you want to think about where these things come from, these are not what they can grow and raise!" The sun was shining on Jian Ning's side face, and at this moment Liu Leshan realized that Jian Ning was so charming, her smile was with a special magic, which made people reluctant to look away.
Liu Leshan reacted, immediately got into the carriage, and said to the coachman: "Go to the nearest village." ”
Jian Ning's words are not wrong, their pigs are not home-raised, they are all bought from the village. The reason why Yangxin County's economy is good is because the surrounding villages have a way to make money and have family skills. Whether it is planting vegetables or breeding, it is impressive, and it is famous in the entire Yuanchu.
Since you can't buy meat from the market anymore, why not go straight to the place of origin? Eliminate the intermediate links, and save some silver.
At noon, Jian Ning and Liu Leshan finally arrived at Ganling Village, which was the closest village to Yangxin County.
Some merchants often came to the village, and their arrival did not cause much reaction from the villagers. Since it was already 10 minutes of lunch, almost every family was eating at home, and there were not many people walking outside. Liu Leshan briefly explained his intentions, and asked a village name about those families in the village who raised pigs and chickens and ducks, and went straight over.
This village is not big, and there must be pigs or chickens and ducks, but fish farming is not necessarily, because in Jian Ning's memory, on the map he has seen, there is no big pond near here that can be used to raise fish, so he didn't ask.
After finding one of the pigs' homes, Liu Leshan and Jian Ning happened to see a woman coming out with a swill, presumably to feed the pigs.
"Sister-in-law, it's polite. I am the shopkeeper of Yangxin County Food Flavor Garden, but because of the problem with the ingredients, I want to buy one or two pigs from my sister-in-law, but I don't know if my sister-in-law is willing to buy it? Oh, rest assured, silver is not an issue. Liu Leshan said politely.
The women wore blue cloth clothes, and although the material of the clothes was not very good, they were neat and clean, and the clothes did not look like old clothes that had been worn for many years. There is a blue emerald flower turban tied on his head, and he doesn't use much rouge gouache on his face, and he looks average.
In between, she put down the bucket in her hand, smiled, and said to Liu Leshan: "Why didn't this shopkeeper buy it from the vendor?" Ran to this Ganling Village instead? ”
In fact, it is no wonder that women ask such questions, because there has never been a shopkeeper who went directly to the villagers' houses to buy pigs. Although it is so cheap, it is very troublesome to kill the pigs bought here, divide them well, and transport them back.
Although the larger restaurants ask for a lot of meat, the vegetables they sell are also expensive, and they will never come to the village to buy them for this difference. The tavern stalls of the small shops are not bought much, and they don't need a pig at all, so they won't come to the village to buy them so troublesomely.
