Lao Lu wandered around Harbin City for a few days, and went to several famous dried vegetable wholesale markets.

In the end, it is a provincial capital, and there are more than 100 merchants in each market, although most of them are state-run sales outlets.

There are also some self-employed people mixed in here.

Wu Qiang is one of them.

His stall is in the innermost part of the market, because it is close to the inside, ordinary people go to the middle of the market to determine their purchase intentions, so the middle and front stalls are basically state-run. It's good for a self-employed person like him to have a place, and he still wants a good stall? What about dreaming?

Wu Qiang, the kid, lost his hand because of a fight and was reformed for seven years.

It just came out last year.

People like him, if it weren't for the reform and opening up, I'm afraid there would be basically no way to live.

Mom and Dad are old and have many children in the family, but it will not be his turn to take over.

His story implicated the whole family.

If the two younger brothers hadn't left early and gave up their posts, they still wanted to go to work?

Although the two younger brothers have taken over, the matter of this object has not been settled, the matchmaker begged for several, and did not send less money, and no one wanted their own girl to marry into such a family.

After that, the matchmaker took a detour when he saw the Wu family again, for fear that he would let his family help introduce the object.

There is still a younger sister left in the family, who has just graduated from high school and is in the top three in the class in terms of academic performance, but because the eldest brother is a laborer, she is not qualified to take the university entrance examination, and she can't pass the political examination.

The head teacher sighed, it's a pity!

Because of Wu Qiang, the family's work and life have been affected.

Wu Qiang didn't know what a disaster he had caused when he got home! The fate of the family was changed.

When you come back, you have to have a source of livelihood.

There was really no way to find the street.

In line with the purpose of curing diseases and saving people, the street gave him a self-employed license and let him set up a stall in the dried vegetable market.

To say that Wu Qiangren is five big and three thick, he can be careful and flexible.

His stall is at the innermost level, and ordinary people can't walk there.

At this time, the self-employed have little strength, whether it is the supply channel or the capital, this is the world of state-owned units.

Self-employed people can only sell dried vegetables in batches at state-run wholesale outlets.

State-run point-of-sale prices are fixed, non-negotiable, and inflexible.

Many self-employed people use their brains on the price, as long as they don't lose money, they will leave.

Wu Qiang did the same.

Because of his location, he is the bottom one in the self-employed industry.

Every month, it's only enough for this.

He persisted like this for a few months, and found that he couldn't do it anymore.

You'll have to figure it out for yourself.

You have to find your own purchase channels, and you have to find a different source of goods.

So he had a whim, there are few people who eat chili peppers in the Northeast, so few units regard dried chili peppers as the main commodity.

What if you specialize in dried peppers from the South?

Although there are few people who eat spicy food, there are still people after all.

Especially in the past two years, there have been many southerners who have come to Harbin City, and they are big customers of spicy food.

So, Wu Qiang went to Hunan last autumn to inspect the chili market.

Chili peppers are not worth much in these places.

Every household in the countryside grows chili peppers in front of and behind the house, and after drying the uneaten chili peppers in the autumn, they are kept for the winter meal.

Wu Qiang actually doesn't know much about chili peppers, but there is one point, chili peppers should be spicy, which is his most basic cognition.

He bought more than 1,000 catties of dried chili peppers at a price of five cents a catty.

The standard of inspection is that it is dry and thorough, no peculiar smell, and it should be spicy when you bite it.

The peppers here are all spicy, you don't need to bite at all, you just smell it.

He consigned these chili peppers from Changsha back to Harbin City.

Shipping costs are much more expensive than chili peppers.

1,300 catties of Hunan peppers, piled up on his stall, is a small mountain.

It looks very imposing.

But since the beginning of winter, there are many people who come to see the excitement, and there are very few people who buy it.

The chili peppers in Hunan are too spicy.

Northeasterners sneeze when they smell the spicy smell.

Mom and Dad complained vigorously, saying that he was not a business material.

In this attempt, the payment was only 65, but the freight was 50, plus his own food, accommodation and round-trip transportation, he spent a small 200.

These costs are spread over 1,300 catties of chili peppers, and each catty of chili peppers costs one and a half cents, plus a little profit, and they have to be sold for two cents.

But now the northern peppers sold by other families in the market are a dime a dime, and the difference is doubled.

Wu Qiang was worried for months.

On this day, a middle-aged man came to his booth, fair-skinned, tall and thin, and spoke very politely.

"Master, I'm a chili pepper, a chili pepper from Hunan, and nothing else."

"What? Peppers from Hunan? Are you sure? ”

The man was very surprised, and said, "Bring one, I'll take a look." ”

Wu Qiang saw that this person was interested, so he took one out of the chili bun and handed it to him.

The man looked at the shape of the pepper, sniffed it again, then picked it open, looked at the pepper seeds inside, touched it with his hand, put the tip of the pepper into his mouth, took a bite, and spit on the ground.

"This pepper is good, how can you sell it?"

"How much do you want?"

"How much can you buy to negotiate the price?"

"Hehe, if you are all inclusive, I will give you the cost price."

"I'm round, how much do you have?"

"That's it, it's just a dime."

"What if I buy nothing?"

"If you buy nothing, you get two cents."

"Oh."

The man groaned.

Seeing this, Wu Qiang felt a little furious in his heart.

After such a long time, there is finally a buyer, and if he runs away, he will have to regret his death.

He was afraid that people would misunderstand his indiscriminate selling, so he quickly explained.

"Master, it's not that I'm selling it, it's that the cost is really high. I personally went to the countryside in Hunan to collect these chili peppers, and I have inspected the chili peppers of each family. You also know that from Hunan to us, the freight is too high, plus the cost of my food, accommodation and transportation, I really don't earn much from you, a pound is two or three points, and there is not much here. ”

"How many of these?"

"About 1,300 pounds."

"Are you still going to collect these after they are sold?"

"Oh, this is the first time I've gone to Hunan to harvest chili peppers, and now I'm going to lose everything, I really don't dare to go again."

"Their peppers are dried in autumn, and you go to harvest them in winter, in fact, they are only available during this time of the year, and it's useless to go in spring and summer."

"In this way, you can go again, and while they still have some inventory, they will collect a few thousand catties, what's the matter?"

"Huh? A few thousand pounds? ”

Wu Qiang's eyes were about to fall to the ground.

"Master, do you want so much?"

"I want it. In this way, let's not have a dime or two. I'll give you two cents and two pounds, and you can collect it. According to the five thousand catties, what is it. ”

"Then, that's a good feeling!"

Wu Qiangle's mouth was crooked.

Lao Lu is completely relieved so far.

He had been in Harbin for several days, and he had visited several markets, but he couldn't find the chili he wanted.

It made him anxious.

You must know that the son has already spent 10,000 yuan in rent, and it will cost more than 5,000 yuan for the renovation later.

This cost has been thrown out, if there is no chili, how can this fish house be opened?!

It's really starving and blind finches!

Today he finally saw the chili he needed at the very bottom of the dry goods market.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, he chatted with the stall owner.

Only then did I know that this person was also a blind person. If he hadn't met himself, he might not have sold out of his bunch of chili peppers until next year.

Lao Lu could see that the stall owner was frightened by this adventure.

If he didn't book chili peppers with him, this kid wouldn't have to collect chili peppers anymore.

If he doesn't accept it, what will he use?

He twisted the pepper seeds in his fingers, although he thought about trying to plant some in the garden in the spring, but it was not safe after all.

I don't know if the peppers I grow are good, if they are not spicy, or if there are other changes, the gains outweigh the losses.

That's why he raised the price and let this kid continue to collect and ensure his own Yufu materials.

"Master, thank you for your trust in me, rest assured, as long as you give me a deposit, I will go on another trip."

"Okay, let's make a contract."

"Yes, I'll be your buyer."

"This is 1,300 pounds of money, you can order it."

Lao Lu counted out a stack of tickets and handed them to Wu Qiang.

Wu Qiang took the banknote, and his heart blossomed.

My Boss Wu is finally transferred!

He shuddered and counted the bills.

"Yes, 286 pieces, just right."

"5,000 catties of chili peppers, 1,100 yuan, I will pay you 300 in advance, and you will call me when you come back."

"300?"

When Wu Qiang heard this, he was overjoyed.

Why? As long as this one comes to collect, he will have more than forty profits, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge profit!

"Okay. Let's sign the contract and go. ”

In order to gain Lao Lu's trust, he also took Lao Lu to his home.

Knowing that Lao Lu was a merchant from Bac Ninh, the Wu family also received him warmly.

I also had a meal at Wu's house.

A supply contract was signed.

Left the phone number of Director Huang's office.

The chili peppers from the dry goods market stalls were shipped back to Bac Ninh.

Lu Changhua followed Director Wu to the industry and commerce to go through the relevant procedures, and the license would not come out until two days.

He only got a receipt.

Regarding the name of Yufu, the Lu family's father and son also discussed it seriously.

Finally, it was named "Boiling Fish Village".

There were not many registered restaurants in those years, and the name was quickly approved.

In order to thank Director Wu for his help, Lu Changhua invited him to Hongbin Building.

Director Wu is very satisfied with Xiao Lu's attitude, and he is a good comrade who knows how to do things.

didn't hold the license, Lu Changhua was really not at ease, so he waited for two days at the Hongqi Hotel.

As soon as he got his license back, his father came back.

Now the hostel is the meeting place for father and son.

Lao Lu arrived in Bac Ninh first, and the consignment of goods was about three days late.

"Changhua, we have to vacate a warehouse, and the peppers are bought."

"Ah, that's great."

"I'll go find Director Huang."

When Director Huang heard this, he readily agreed and gave a key.

"This is the key to Vault 8, which was vacated yesterday."

"Thank you, Director."

"Thank you, you're welcome."
