Chapter 6: Capturing Business Opportunities

After coming out of the police station, Chen Liang remembered that the edges of the bowls in his home were a little damaged, and it was easy to cut the skin of his mouth when eating.

I came to the supply and marketing cooperatives again, planning to buy some dishes and chopsticks.

The money Chu Qianwen gave him was still more than twenty years old, which was enough to buy a bowl.

When I walked to the counter of the grocery area selling dishes and chopsticks, I happened to hear a saleswoman chatting enthusiastically with an older sister who was shopping.

The two obviously knew each other, but they only heard the saleswoman ask with a smile while taking things for her: "Sister Li, why do you suddenly want to buy a lunch box, what are you for?" ”

The woman who was called Sister Li sighed and said, "Hey, don't mention it, it's not my family, your brother Li was transferred to the Beishan mine."

You know, it's a big new mine, and the canteen hasn't been built yet, so there's no food.

I can only bring it from home every day, and the trouble is dead.

I thought about buying him a better lunch box, which would not spill soup and rice, and I could try to make him eat as hot as possible. ”

"Oh? No wonder, in the wilderness of the Beishan Mine, even if you want to buy food, there is nowhere to buy it. The saleswoman nodded abruptly.

"It's not, there are hundreds of people in the Beishan mine, but the surrounding areas are all rural, even if we have money, we can't buy food, so we have to cook it ourselves."

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Chen Liang suddenly smelled a business opportunity.

The staff of the hundreds of mines all rely on bringing food from home, not to mention the trouble, and also delay things.

And when I bring it to the place, it will already be cold, not to mention the taste or something, and it is estimated that I will barely fill my stomach.

If at this time, someone can sell them food, it doesn't even need to be too tasty and too rich.

As long as it's not too unpalatable and fresh enough, it's sure to be sold.

Not to mention, Chen Liang still has a hand, and many old restaurant chefs can't match the outstanding cooking skills.

Hundreds of people, assuming that a meal is only sold for one dollar, even if it is just one noon, it can sell a hundred servings, which is a lot of income.

Thinking of this, Chen Liang immediately turned around and left.

He wanted to go back and get the money to buy more chopsticks and meat dishes.

There is something in his heart, Chen Liang's pace is much faster than when he came.

After returning home, he immediately told Chu Qianwen about his plans.

At this time, engaging in this kind of fast-food business is nothing to Chen Liang, who is a second man.

But for Chu Qianwen, it's too new.

Therefore, after listening to Chen Liang's words, she hesitated a little and said, "Can it be done?" ”

"Qianwen, you have to believe me, these people who work in the mine are all regular workers.

They are not short of money and have spending power.

As long as the food we cook is delicious, it will definitely be sold.

You think, pork costs three yuan a catty, and a pound of pork can fry several dishes.

Even if we sell a meal for a dollar and give them an egg soup, we can make money.

For a dollar they can eat a steaming meal, as well as eggs and meat, and they will definitely be willing to pay for it.

In this way, if we sell 100 copies a day, we can make at least 50 yuan, or even more. ”

Chen Liang patiently analyzed her.

Chu Qianwen, as an educated youth from the city, is not stupid, but very smart.

After being analyzed so carefully by Chen Liang, she immediately understood the business opportunities here.

Immediately no longer hesitated, took out all the money, and said to Chen Liang: "Remove the money that was given to you before, our family's money is all here."

I've counted it, and there's still five hundred and eighty dollars and four cents in all, so you can take them all. ”

Chen Liang said: "We have to buy a batch of dishes and chopsticks and ingredients now, but we don't need so much. ”

Chu Qianwen said: "The poor family is rich, not to mention that you are going to do business, you are all prepared." ”

"Hmm." Chen Liang nodded and picked up the money and said, "Qianwen, don't worry, I will not let you down." ”

After speaking, he still took out eighty yuan from it and left it to Chu Qianwen and said, "Keep these at home for later use, I will take five hundred enough to buy them." ”

"yes, okay." Chu Qianwen no longer shirked.

Chen Liang put the money in his pocket and said, "I'll go cook some food for you two first, and then go to the city to buy goods." ”

"Why don't you go buy the goods first, I'll make the meal." Chu Qianwen said.

"I said I would cook for you for the rest of my life, and you two waited patiently."

Chen Liang grinned at Chu Qianwen, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, Chen Liang made three dishes and one soup again.

After eating with his wife and children, he pushed the family's shabby trolley out of the door.

Because Chen Liang considered, disposable lunch boxes and chopsticks could not be bought in this era.

Therefore, if you want to sell rice, you can only buy more dishes and chopsticks.

In addition, you have to buy some large vats for rice, as well as rice, flour, oil, meat and vegetables and other ingredients and seasoning supplies.

There are so many things that you can't hold them all with your hands.

Their trolley is the kind of wooden frame car that is common in the countryside, and the body is made of wood, and there are two tires that are slightly larger than bicycles underneath.

Although the wooden frame of the body has been broken with several holes, it can also be used for a while.

At this time, the sky was beautiful, and the rain suddenly stopped.

For Chen Liang, who was about to hurry, it was undoubtedly good news.

When he came to the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Liang put the wooden frame car at the door, patted the water droplets on the coat, and walked into the supply and marketing cooperatives again.

At this time, it is in the afternoon, not the peak time for grocery shopping in the morning.

Therefore, the flow of people in the supply and marketing cooperatives is much less.

Chen Liang went straight to the counter where he bought meat last time, and saw that the saleswoman who was sitting behind the meat stall yesterday closed her eyes and recuperated.

"Hello, buy meat." Chen Liang woke her up directly.

was disturbed by someone's dream, and the saleswoman opened her eyes with a displeased face and saw that it was Chen Liang.

Immediately displeased: "Why are you again?" Didn't you just buy three catties of meat yesterday? ”

"Why, my family can't eat fast."

Chen Liang looked at her as if someone else owed her money, and he was very unhappy, and he had no sense of service at all.

She was speechless by Chen Liang's words, so she stood up angrily and asked, "How much?" ”

"Twenty pounds of pork belly." Chen Liang stretched out two fingers and said in a flat and firm tone.

"How much?" The saleswoman was startled, looked at Chen Liang in disbelief, and said, "Did I hear me right?" ”

"You heard it right, it's twenty pounds, all of which cost pork belly!" Chen Liang said calmly.

The saleswoman stretched out her hand suspiciously and said, "Give the money first." ”

Chen Liang didn't talk nonsense with her, and directly took out sixty yuan and put it on the counter.

In this era, ordinary people buy meat, that is, one and a half catties, and only the working class can afford it.

Chen Liang still buys it directly with money, and buys sixty yuan at once, and she doesn't earn sixty yuan a month's salary.

So, when Chen Liang took out the money happily.

The saleswoman's face changed for a while, she put away the money, and muttered while cutting the meat: "Young people can't live, no matter how much money they have, they can't squander it like this, and sooner or later they will become poor." ”

Chen Liang muttered to her with sourness, turned a deaf ear, and just urged: "Hurry up." ”

Sour to sour, she doesn't dare to be cynical about Chen Liang, who is generous.

just snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction, but the movements in his hands invisibly sped up a lot.

After buying meat, Chen Liang went to buy rice and noodles again, which was bought with grain stamps in this era, and the price of rice was about 8 cents.

Buy it directly with money, it's 3 cents.

Flour is cheaper, 7 cents and 2 cents, respectively.

Considering that I can't push too much by myself, and at the beginning, I'm not sure if I can sell it.

Therefore, Chen Liang only bought 100 catties of rice and 100 catties of flour.

Subsequently, he bought potatoes, onions, beans, cabbage, tomatoes, sweet potato flour, eggs and other home-cooked dishes.

These dishes are also inexpensive, and like rice noodles, they are ingredients that can be stored for a long time.

Even if you can't sell your fast food, you can keep it at home and eat it without wasting it.

After buying vegetables, Chen Liang went to buy 30 pairs of dishes and chopsticks and ten porcelain pots for vegetables.

In addition, he also bought six iron drums, similar to the insulated buckets used to hold bulk beer and soup in fast food restaurants.

Chen Liang planned to use one of them for rice, one for egg soup, and the other four for dishes.

Among them, it cost 30 yuan to buy vegetables and eggs, 60 yuan to buy meat, and 30 yuan to buy bowls, chopsticks, porcelain basins and iron buckets.

A total of only 120 yuan was spent on Chen Liang, and when he left, Chen Liang caught a glimpse of the cigarettes on the tobacco and alcohol counter, and bought another Hongmei brand cigarette.

No filter, two cents and six packs, one piece of two pieces of five.
