Chapter 121: Ambitious Thoughts
It wasn't until a bunch of people gathered in front of the booth that a few people reacted, and they ignored one of the most important issues.
That's ...... Pricing.
Just now, a few people patronized and went to shout, until someone stepped forward to taste a small dried fish, thought it was not bad, and after having the intention to buy, asked Xu Lan:
"How do you sell this little dried fish?"
Xu Lan asked suddenly, and looked back at Lu Mu at a loss.
The shouting voices of several people stopped suddenly, if Xu Yan set up her own stall, she would casually say a more reasonable price and sell it.
But at the moment, the real owners of this stall are Lu's father and Lu's mother, so Xu Lan went to ask Lu's mother.
Lu Mu was also asked for a while, and looked at Xu Yan. He threw the question at her again.
Xu Lan was helpless, and after calculating the cost, he casually quoted a number:
"Three dollars a pound."
For example, the dried fish is a little more expensive, but it is not so outrageous.
It is acceptable, at first Lu Mu was still a little worried, after all, the price of ordinary small dried fish in the surrounding stalls has been beaten to one pound.
The spicy dried fish sold by Xu Lan is just put in a pot and processed at will, although it is delicious.
But with this doubling the price, will anyone really buy it?
Sure enough, after hearing Xu Mu say the price, the man's hand holding the small dried fish paused.
I think the price is a little too high, so I hesitated.
However, he only hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth to bargain with Xu Mu:
"Three dollars is a bit too expensive, cheaper."
"How about two pieces of five?"
After hearing this, Xu Mo happily nodded and agreed, after all, this price was also what she said nonsense.
If the customer's price of two dollars and five is acceptable, then she will automatically reduce the price to two dollars and five, anyway, they can make money selling small dried fish at this price.
With the call of shouting, many people came to try it at first, but in the end, it became, weigh a few pounds back.
Such a delicious spicy dried fish, wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't buy it.
Xu Lan originally thought that this was the first day to set up a stall, so he didn't do too much.
Originally, I also planned to test the water to see if anyone came to buy it, but I didn't expect her spicy dried fish to be so popular.
It didn't take long for a large pot of spicy dried fish to be sold.
The spike periphery is also selling small dried fish.
Lu Mu took the money she had just earned, and checked it scatteredly, and it turned out to be three times the money she earned when selling dried small fish on weekdays.
Lu Mule couldn't do it, so he directly divided the money he earned into four parts and stuffed it into the hands of Xu Lan and Lu Nanzhou:
"Come on, come on, those who see have a share!"
Since the spicy dried fish made by Xu Lan was sold out, several people simply stopped setting up stalls here.
Pack up your things and get ready to go home.
There are also many people next to the stall who only tasted it, but because they lined up in the back, they didn't buy it.
They were all there to ask Lu Mu if she would be able to sell it tomorrow.
Lu Mu smiled at this, they said that they would come over early tomorrow morning, and they were in this position, if they still wanted to buy it tomorrow, then they would wait here.
After returning home, Xu Lan looked at the small dried fish that had dried all over the yard thoughtfully.
Lu Mu sat on the side, learning how to make small dried fish with Xu Lan.
After all, this spicy dried fish is so popular, so they should already take advantage of the freshness and sell more.
Lu's mother planned to stock up on more goods, so she came to learn from Xu Lan.
After all, this mass production means that you have to make a lot of this spicy dried fish, and it is too tiring to rely on Xu Lan alone.
Mother Lu naturally wouldn't let Xu Lan suffer this hardship.
So pull Father Lu and Lu Nanzhou aside, and let them fight on the side.
The whole family went into battle, and when they saw Xu Lan wandering outside, Lu Mu was holding a small dried fish in her hand, and she didn't know what to do next, so she asked:
"Mutter, what's next?"
In Lu's mother's inquiry, Xu Mu came back to his senses:
"It's time to fry it, but keep the heat under control."
"What are you thinking about this kid, are you too tired to go out to set up a stall today, leave it to us here, you go back to the house to rest first!"
Mother Lu thought that Xu Mo was tired, so she opened her mouth to propose.
"No, I'm just thinking about something."
Xu Lan thought of what she had just thought, since it was to be produced in large quantities and sold, it was necessary to ensure the freshness and hygiene of the ingredients.
In particular, the dried fish is fried and has a crispy texture.
However, if it is stored for a long time, the dried fish will inevitably affect the taste.
And they themselves are not sure how much they can sell each day, so it is not only troublesome to sell every day, but also easy to have surpluses.
In this day and age, processing technology is not yet developed, and there is no vacuum technology that can maintain the freshness of food.
I've got to figure out a way.
"What are you thinking, why don't you speak up and listen?"
Seeing Xu Lan say this, Lu Mu changed to Xu Lan and asked, thinking that if she said it, she might be able to solve it for her.
Xu Yan's eyes rolled, and suddenly, she saw the canned yellow peach bottle on the table.
There was a sudden inspiration in his mind, and he opened his mouth to ask Lu's father and Lu's mother:
"Mom and Dad, do we have a food processing field here?"
Since vacuum packaging doesn't work, is it okay to make small canned fish?
No matter how cost-effective it is, simply wrapping it in a plastic bag can also reduce bacteria and dust.
After hearing this, Lu Mu thought about it:
"If you want to talk about factories, there really aren't any in our village."
"However, there is a fish canning farm in the town next door, and their family often comes to our side to collect fish for canning!"
"But why are you asking this?"
Lu's mother was puzzled, so she asked Xu Mu.
Xu Lan said what he thought in his heart, and several people discussed it carefully, and they all felt that this idea was feasible.
It's just that this is all an afterthought, and now we still have to focus on setting up stalls.
Xu Mu thought about the situation of setting up the stall today, so he said:
"We can go to the factory and see if they can help with a small amount of processing."
"When we go to set up a stall again, let's take some over and see how they sell."
"If the results are good, we can produce them in large quantities, and in this case, we can also extend the storage time of the small dried fish."
Xu Lan actually had greater ambitions in her heart, but at this time, she didn't tell Lu's father and Lu's mother.
If the business is good, Lu's father and Lu's mother fish all year round, and there is naturally no shortage of small dried fish at home.
When the money earned by the stalls reaches a certain level, they can open their own factories and take care of the workers.
Buy small dried fish from nearby villagers, make the scale bigger, and sell the small dried fish to a larger market.
It is also possible to scale up to produce more fish products.
It's cool to be your own boss.
When the time comes, we will recruit workers in the village, and we can also help the villagers solve work problems and achieve common prosperity.
Of course, that's all for later.
After all, in this era, she feels that her ideas and ambitions are a bit big.
Good night~
