Chapter 0021 - Supply Exceeds Demand
In the end, several old ladies who came with Aunt Guo bought some vegetables, but not much, the most was Aunt Guo who came yesterday, and she bought a full twelve catties of various vegetables by herself. Tomatoes and cucumbers, in particular, were bought for four catties each.
"Aunt Guo, did you buy so much and eat it in one day? These dishes, if they are left for a long time, the taste will be worse. Zeng Zhi politely reminded Aunt Guo beside him, "I come every day, and the ones I buy are fresher." ”
"Young man, don't worry, our family has a large population, seven or eight people, and this will be enough for two meals." Aunt Guo said with a smile.
This was not what Zeng Zhi expected. Nowadays, there may be some big families of seven or eight people in the countryside, but in the cities, there are really very few. Generally, when children become adults, they will move out to live alone, and then get married and have children. Most people of Aunt Guo's age live with their wives.
Because there were a lot of old men and old ladies who came in the morning, Zeng Zhi was very busy this morning, and he didn't even have time to read novels.
However, Zeng Zhi found that the people who came were basically regular customers, that is, people who had bought vegetables from him yesterday.
The first to come were these idle, sleepy old men and old ladies, but after ten o'clock, the old customers of the office workers gradually came. Obviously, these people rarely have time to rest on weekends, and most of them come to buy groceries after a lazy sleep.
In this way, he was busy until 12 o'clock, and Zeng Zhi was free. At this point, everyone is ready for lunch, or at least they are already preparing for lunch.
After taking stock of his results, Zeng Zhi found that this morning, he actually sold 800 catties of vegetables. In other words, the vegetables he got today, except for the ones that were picked up and were almost ten catties that were knocked and broken, all the others were sold out. Not only that, but even the more than 100 catties of fish he got were also sold out.
Most of the people who came to buy groceries had bought groceries from him yesterday. Basically, without exception, they all came to patronize Zeng Zhi's business. Moreover, almost all of them have increased their purchases yesterday, three or five catties more, and one or two catties less.
In addition to these old customers, there are also some new customers they have introduced. Then there are some people passing by, they saw that Zeng Zhi had a good business here, so they stopped by to have a look, and after listening to the introduction of old customers, they also tried to buy some.
Being able to have such a good result was really unexpected by Zeng Zhi.
Now that the vegetables are sold out, Zeng Zhi is ready to call it a day. However, when he got in the car, he saw the wallet placed in the passenger seat, which made Zeng Zhi very happy.
Thinking that he hadn't carefully counted how much money he had sold today, Zeng Zhi simply drove back without hurrying, took his wallet directly, and began to count today's results.
It didn't take much time, that is, five minutes, and Zeng Zhi finished counting.
After counting, Zeng Zhi snapped his fingers and said to himself happily: "Wow, there are five thousand one, it's really good!" ”
The small 800 catties of vegetables are basically sold for four yuan a catty, which is nearly 3,000 yuan. The main reason is that when Zeng Zhi weighed, the weighs were relatively prosperous, that is, each customer would weigh one or two more. All in all, a small 800-kilogram dish is actually about 750 kilograms. Of course, there are also the dozen catties left in the car now.
In addition, the fish that was brought in weighed was more than 110 catties, and it was also weighed more than 100 catties except for some more weighed during weighing. Twenty yuan a catty, and two thousand and one hundred yuan were collected.
This money, plus the income of the eldest sister's restaurant of 2,800 yuan a day, Zeng Zhi's income from selling vegetables every day is nearly 8,000 yuan. If it is sold out in 30 days a month, it will have an income of about 240,000 yuan a month.
Compared to this, the hard-earned money I earn from writing novels every month is really nothing. If you really do it for a long time, it will be a net income of more than 2 million a year. It only takes a year for my dream to come true.
Zeng Zhi finally understood why a two- or three-meter-long stall in the vegetable market could collect tens of thousands of yuan in rent a year. Don't look at the money you make from selling vegetables, it seems that all you earn is a small amount of money, but the so-called collection of armpits into furs, in a year, the income is also quite considerable.
Of course, Zeng Zhi also knows that the vegetables sold in the market are definitely not as profitable as himself, and the sales are not as good as his own. But no matter how bad the business is, there are still sales of one or two thousand a day. A month's sales, how can there be 30,000 or 50,000 yuan. In addition to various costs, the profit will not be less than 10,000 yuan, which is more than 100,000 yuan a year.
Zeng Zhizheng was happy alone, when he heard someone knocking on the car door, and then he heard a voice outside: "Young man, there is no food?" ”
Zeng Zhi turned his head and saw that it was an old man who knocked on the car, with white hair, but his face looked quite ruddy, and his spirit was also very good. In one word, it's spirit.
Zeng Zhi said with a smile: "Old man, I'm sorry, there is no food today!" ”
The old man muttered, "Why did it sell so quickly...... It's only noon, and the food is gone, young man, you don't want to get any more......"
As the saying goes, the customer is God, people complain a little here, and he is still an old man, Zeng Zhi can do nothing but apologize?
Seeing that Zeng Zhi had a good attitude, the old man didn't want to complain any more, so he asked instead, "Will you come back tomorrow?" ”
Zeng Zhi nodded and said, "Come, as long as there is no knife in the sky, I will come." But, old man, tomorrow is Sunday, I'm afraid you'll have to hurry, or it will end up like today. ”
The old man said, "Can't you get more?" ”
Zeng Zhi said with a smile: "It's a big deal, these vegetables are all grown at home, and the yield is so small." ”
After listening to Zeng Zhi's words, the old man had no choice but to leave.
After the old man left, Zeng Zhi immediately started the car and left, ready to go home to make lunch. However, when he was still on the way, he received a call from his eldest sister.
The eldest sister told him on the phone that because the business of the restaurant was too good this weekend, they couldn't be busy, so Zeng Zhi immediately went over to help.
Zeng Zhi had no choice but to turn around and drive to the restaurant of the eldest sister's house.
When Zeng Zhi arrived, he was startled by the scene in front of him. Because, at this moment, the small restaurant can really be said to be crowded. Not only were the two restaurants full, but even the open space between the outside of the restaurant and the street had several temporary tables, and each table was full. In addition, there are many people who are standing because there is nowhere to go, but they are still waiting.
Including the eldest sister Zeng Min, the eldest brother-in-law Yu Nan, and the aunt who hired to help was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, the eldest nephew Yu Xiang, who is in the second year of high school, is also busy now because he is home on the weekend. Even, Yu Li, a little nephew who is still in the fifth grade, is cleaning with a broom.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Zeng Zhi couldn't delay, and immediately went to find the eldest sister and asked her to arrange work for herself.
However, the eldest sister did not immediately arrange for Zeng Zhi to help in the restaurant, but asked him if he could go to the place where he bought vegetables to buy some more vegetables, because according to today's customer flow, the dishes he bought in the morning were obviously not enough. Not even necessarily able to make it until three o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, it is imperative to go buy some groceries right away.
Zeng Zhi did not refuse the eldest sister's request, mainly because now he can indeed pick some vegetables from the jade pei space.
It turned out that because the sales were very unsatisfactory when he came out of the stall on the first two days ago, the vegetables he sold yesterday were actually picked two days ago. And the vegetables and fish sent to the eldest sister's family today, as well as those vegetables and fish sold, are yesterday's output. As for today's production, it hasn't moved much. Today's production is intended to be collected in the evening and shipped tomorrow.
However, it was clear that his plans had to be disrupted now. According to what the eldest sister said just now, the dishes that the restaurant needs today and tomorrow, plus the dishes that will be sold tomorrow, will basically consume the output of the jade pendant space for two days.
