Volume 2 Fate Gathering, The Battle of Zhongnan Mountain Chapter 196 Market Competition

"Boss. Yang Meng opened his mouth again and called the shopkeeper over.

"Is there really no problem with your meat here?" Yang Mengyan asked.

But the shopkeeper was not flustered at all.

"What are you talking about, guest officer? Our steamed bun shop has been operating here for many years. If there is a problem with this meat, then our steamed bun shop will have to be smashed a long time ago? But in fact, the business in our steamed bun shop is very good, you can go here and ask, who still doesn't know about our steamed bun shop? Decades old shop, can there still be a problem with this meat?" the shopkeeper hurriedly explained.

Depending on the situation, all his words are true, this is a decades-old shop, and business is very prosperous. It's just that this human meat stuffed buns, he doesn't seem to know anything, could it be that they have been operating for decades, and one of them sells this kind of human meat buns?

Yang Mengyan just wanted to have a showdown with him, but Leng Yuexin, who was next to her, opened her mouth first.

"This is not logical! Your shop is located in such a remote location, and there don't seem to be any people in the vicinity, so who are you trying to sell these buns to? And the business is booming, and I don't see it at all, because there are only three of us as customers here? Oh, no, it seems that there are only three of us in all the pedestrians on this road? So the business in your shop is booming, this is pure bragging. Leng Yuexin said so.

He originally wanted to add that in this shop, in addition to these factors that the business is not likely to be good, the more important thing is that their food is difficult to swallow at all. But he thought about it for a while, and he didn't say it again.

Although from his point of view, this store has no merit at all, but he can't stand the attitude of the owner of the store, what if the owner of the store will operate?

After all, to exist is to be reasonable.

People's stores are still open, even if they don't make a penny, but they have been open for decades, and they can afford to lose, so what can outsiders say?

So, if people want to brag, let them brag about it.

Leng Yuexin thought so.

But the truth was not Leng Yuexin's thoughts, because the shopkeeper was very calm, he turned his head to look at Leng Yuexin, and began to continue again.

"The guest officer also seems to know how to do business, but the guest officer's words are not right. ”

"First of all, there are a lot of families in the area, but they are all retail households, and because they are located in the mountains, their residences are very remote. And further south, there are several villages, so there are actually a lot of customers, so there is no worry that no one will buy the buns. ”

"Second, the reason why at this time, there are only a few guest officers in my store is because it is still early at this time, and most of the people have not gotten up yet. And even if they get up, it will take another half an hour to come here, so it's not that our shop is deserted, but a few guest officers, and it's too early. ”

The shopkeeper explained.

And it was at this time that Yang Mengyan finally spoke.

"Then we came so early, when did you prepare this meat? Could it be that you had already cut the meat yesterday and waited until this morning to start preparing it? But if this is the case, the meat has already been left overnight, isn't it already fresh?" Yang Mengyan asked tentatively. Number Seven

She had wanted to side-kick until the shopkeeper showed his feet, or he finally confessed to the crime. But the shopkeeper was still very calm, and he seemed to have some joy, as if he had finally met his peers.

"It seems that the girl also knows how to eat, and it is not a secret, although we wake up very early every day, but because we have to prepare pasta, we have to prepare a lot of things, so we don't have so much spare time to start these stuffing and other things. However, these things cannot be prepared in advance, because if they are left overnight, then these ingredients will no longer be fresh, which will seriously affect the taste of customers, and thus lose the reputation of the store. ”

"But we are not helpless, because a store like ours that has been cooperating with meat merchants for many years, meat source merchants will provide us with a service, as long as we pay a little more silver taels every month, then they will help us make the stuffing, and when we first open every morning, the finished stuffing will be delivered to us. I have to admit that this is a very good method, which can make the meat source merchants make more money, and can make it easy for us small individuals, and later because of the popularity of this method, several meat source merchants began to compete, so that the price of their delivery began to get lower and lower, which made us small individuals happy. ”

"But the market competition has to have a result, and this result is that the meat source merchants in Gao Laozhuang win, because they are all high-yield meat source households, and basically every household raises a lot of livestock. And their distribution is to win by quantity, because they are not only meat source merchants, but also meat source breeders, this is not like those simple meat source merchants, they are just engaged in wholesale and sales, and then earn the difference from it. ”

"The meat source merchants in Gao Laozhuang are different, because to a large extent, they just want to sell meat, so their delivery price is almost zero. Because the money they earn is the difference between the prices of the meat merchants, this method of direct delivery without middlemen quickly occupies the market. Even for a long time, the meat produced by Gao Laozhuang has completely reached a kind of short supply, and it is precisely because of this that other meat source merchants have a way to live, but the price of distribution is basically not up. ”

"Therefore, after many meat source merchants have become famous, they have canceled this kind of chopping service, so as to only retain the simple delivery. Either the service is still there, but the price is ridiculously high, because they just don't want to chop the stuffing. ”

When the shopkeeper said this, the look on his face became proud.

"In the current situation, this is still prescient for me, because I made an agreement with the meat source merchants in Gao Laozhuang very early on: to keep their original prices, so as to have a long-term cooperation with me. ”

"Because they were far from being as well-known as they are now, and at that time, very few people would have known about them. So at that time, I worked with them, and it was a blessing for them, so we had a long-term cooperation with each other at that time. ”

"In fact, over the years, although Gao Laozhuang's market position has been improving, the agreement between them and me has been carried out in the original way. And even when the supply exceeds the demand, they have never slackened off on my supply. ”

As the shopkeeper spoke, he looked at Yang Mengyan again.

"Therefore, the freshness of the ingredients, the girl can rest assured, because the reputation of Gao Laozhuang is in the first place in the market. And they also specifically for the freshness of the ingredients, and then once again expanded the night shift, so in terms of the freshness of the ingredients, this must be a foolproof. The owner of the shop said excitedly, on the one hand, to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, and on the other hand, to be complacent about his own vision.

But the three of Yunshui in front of him were silent at the same time.

"Gao Laozhuang?" Yang Mengyan asked suspiciously.

"Night shift?" Yun Shui also suddenly spoke.

However, Leng Yuexin suddenly realized, and began to get excited again.

"Oh, I remembered. Isn't this what the young man said at that time in the Substitute Inn? He said at that time that near the Gao Lao Village, there was a monster called Zhu Gangguan, who specialized in eating people. Leng Yue said excitedly, and suddenly looked at the shopkeeper on the side, he seemed to realize his gaffe, so he quickly shut up again.

But Yang Mengyan, who was next to him, opened his mouth again and began to speak to the shopkeeper.

"I advise you to cut off contact with Gao Laozhuang, because Gao Laozhuang has completely changed, and they are no longer what they used to be. In the past, it may have been a human eating pork, but now it is possible that a pig is eating human flesh, and I can only say that, I hope you can do it yourself. Yang Mengyan said so.
