Chapter 94: Addition of new varieties

Seeing that white flour is selling so well, I thought of cornmeal again. The corn produced on the space island should have a unique taste, although I haven't eaten it, so I guess it won't be wrong.

Cornmeal is a niche food. People may not eat a lot of it except for making porridge and making some desserts. I thought it was a selling point, so I decided to give it a try.

I sold all the corn to the feed mill, where the flour could not be sold as food. So I contacted the flour mill again, and the flour mill doesn't process corn. The manager recommended me a place, not far from the flour mill, where there is a self-employed person who specializes in processing cornmeal, mainly for the surrounding residents.

I found this uncle and asked him to help process a cart of corn. There is naturally no problem with this, but when it comes to selling, packaging is a thing, bulk selling is equivalent to retail, and no matter how busy the salesperson is, he can't sell much.

Now it was a test sale, and I didn't think too much about it, so I shipped the processed cornmeal to the wholesale station. The store ordered a batch of 5-kilogram small packaging bags, packed them by themselves, and then put them on the shelves, which is much more convenient to sell.

At first, people had the attitude of trying it out, and a shop owner purchased a small batch. A week later, cornmeal sales soared, triggering another sales boom. Bai Luoxue had to mobilize people to help again. 2,000 pounds of cornmeal were sold out on the same day.

I hurriedly went to process another car, the workers were packing in the back, and the salesperson was selling in front of the store. The second car was sold out again.

Bai Luoxue suggested that I process more at a time to save myself a trip, but I did the opposite. I came up with the principle of hunger marketing, not to get so much, to only supply one cart a day.

This whets the appetite of customers. Vendors who queue up to buy cornmeal wait until they run out, and then have to come early the next day, otherwise they will have no goods to pick up.

Some vendors were not satisfied, saying that they had not bought it after waiting in line for three days, and if it weren't for the good sales of the goods, he would not have wanted to delay for so long.

Selling goods is also serving the people. A clerk fed back this information. Bai Luoxue and I decided to adopt order management as well, which can not only accurately grasp the quantity that needs to be processed, but also allow those vendors to reduce the waiting time and maintain a stable customer base.

This is true not only for cornmeal, but also for white flour.

The implementation of measure 1 was immediate. The work has a clear goal, no longer encountering the rush to pull people from the cannery, and 10 clerks can be completely busy. It seems that the customer flow has decreased, the turnover has increased instead of falling, and the sales efficiency has been greatly improved.

I saw that the salespeople had a lot of free time again. Bai Luoxue proposed, should I put some of those vegetables and fish at the wholesale station.

I immediately denied it.

I am engaged in a large number of wholesale in warehouse No. 1, and then divide this business to the wholesale station, which will not only affect the traffic of my place, but also affect the convenience market, and even the sales of large shopping malls, which is really not advisable. It is impossible to put vegetables in the wholesale station, and it is impossible to achieve real wholesale, at most it is retail. I don't want to do this business.

Seeing that I didn't agree, Bai Luoxue didn't give up. She told me that if employees were off half the time, she would consider layoffs. Those people do their work, you look at me, I look at yours, one of them takes the lead, and everyone else will be lazy. Over time, the enthusiasm for service quality work will be reduced, which will be greatly detrimental to the image of the shopping mall, and ultimately affect the operation.

I really didn't think about it that much. I have to take this opinion seriously. It has not been open for a long time, and the impact of layoffs will definitely not be good. The redundancy is postponed, and other businesses can be considered.

When I was worried about what to sell, Ruxue brought me amazing news.

The 50 chicks on the island have grown up. The rate of growth is truly staggering, and I'm not surprised, and expected. I was still taken aback when I saw them.

The hen grew as big as a rooster, a dozen roosters grew as big as a goose, and the hens laid eggs as big as goose eggs.

I held it in my hand and couldn't believe it.

I tried to scramble one, and the taste was quite good, fresher, tender, and smoother than ordinary eggs, especially the aroma was very strong.

What amazes me even more is that Ruxue has collected thousands of pieces and placed them in the small house one by one. A flock of chicks followed her, running around and wherever she went.

"What's going on?"

Such as snow explained.

There are roosters and hens on the island, and chickens will naturally hatch chicks, and it can't explain clearly. Normally, it takes 21 days for eggs to hatch into chicks, and here, the chicks hatch in two days.

Hearing this, I asked it to re-sort the eggs it had collected, and put the ones that looked particularly smooth back into the ground, where the hens would naturally hatch.

A little like snow will make you understand. Sure enough, two days later, another group of chickens appeared on the island.

I couldn't eat all these eggs myself, so I decided to buy them at the wholesale station.

For this reason, I specially ordered a batch of egg trays. The usual egg trays can't be used at all, and they can't hold such a big egg.

Eggs are of peculiar variety, and the price is naturally higher. As soon as it was put on the wholesale station, people were like seeing a monster, and at first no one dared to buy it. After all, there are those who are bold, buy a few, eat them, become addicted, and buy them one after another. People are curious, follow the herd's heart, I will eat if you eat, I will buy if you buy, and the eggs will be out of stock.

When I was thinking about how many eggs I had to serve each day, I noticed a strange phenomenon. Those hens don't just lay eggs a day, I asked Ruxue to pay attention to the observation, each hen will basically lay about 10, the least seven or eight. That's why it collected thousands of pieces in just a few days.

The number of chicks on the island is increasing, there is no need to buy them separately, they grow fast, and after a while, the supply of eggs will go up, which can fully meet the supply of wholesale stations.

The half bag of millet I put on the island had already been eaten, and Ruxue didn't ask me for it. I asked it, what do the chicks eat during this time?

For the big chickens, in addition to foraging on the island, you can also feed some wheat and corn. Bai Xue told me that she and Rufeng mashed the vegetables and fed them to the chickens, and they loved to eat them very much. Big chickens also followed, and those unformed vegetables came into play. Chicks grow faster as a result.

That's a good idea to reuse waste.

Thinking of this, I saw those dry vegetable seedlings, which had been stacked several times. When I was little, I didn't think about the problem of disposal, but now the more I accumulate, the more I become garbage.

Rufeng gave me a suggestion that it could be crushed and sold to feed mills, or to farms.

I asked him to crush part of it with a corn harvester and try it at the cattle farm.

As soon as the owner of the cattle farm heard that it was a melon seedling, he was stunned.

"My cow doesn't eat this!"

At my insistence, let him try it. He seemed extremely reluctant. When the crushed vegetable seedlings were still given to the cows, they were snatched up at once, just like the scene when they were trying to feed corn stalks and green fodder.

The owner was amazed!

"I used to feed the seedlings, and the cows barely smelled them, let alone ate them. What's going on today? ”

No matter how much he wondered, he finally agreed to ask for this feed.

If there is a market, let's say it. Entering the space, I let the wind and snow grind all those vegetable seedlings into flour and send them to the cattle farm in one go.

This is also a measure of waste utilization.
