"Boss, the spicy food is running out, I'll buy some more goods, and you can send them over."

"I'll see how much it wants. 100 catties of dried chili peppers, 300 catties of chili peppers, can you send them before 3 o'clock in the afternoon? ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the store, thank you boss!"

Xu An's first purchase of shabu-shabu was dry and wet, and he asked for a pound of chili powder, and he asked for ten pounds of chili powder. According to the original idea of a gimmick, this amount is enough to last for two or three months.

Although the daily sales of Hell Lo Mei offline do not exceed 100 catties, it is impossible to stand up to the online Taobao store, and the highest and most popular Hell Lo Mei is Hell Lo Mei.

A Hell Lo Mei online is only half a catty, but there are many orders, 97 percent of the orders have Hell Lo Mei, which adds up to an astonishing seven or eight thousand catties, and the demand for shabu shabu will naturally increase greatly.

The owner of the chili shop came very quickly, and after Xu An put on a gas mask, he inspected the goods in the open space, and signed the payment to end the transaction.

"Boss Xu." The owner of the chili shop took Xu An's signed slip, struggled for a moment and said, "Boss Xu, I've heard of your name for hell lo-mei, do you plan to keep making this flavor of lo-mei?" ”

"yes." Xu An nodded: "This flavor is quite popular, otherwise I wouldn't have bought so many shabu-shabu!" ”

"Then you'll have to plan your purchase." The owner of the chili shop reminded: "You will ask me for almost two years' worth of purchases this time, and there is not much inventory at the previous house, so it is estimated that you will be gone if you buy again."

Shabu Shabu out of stock?

Xu Anxin was taken aback, and immediately asked about the specific situation.

In the end, I learned from the mouth of the owner of the chili shop that this shabu shabu is not a conventional commodity, it is a hunting thing, no one specially planted it, and it is picked up and dried at home when it is encountered in the mountains and forests on weekdays, and when a traveling merchant comes over, it is sold to them, and it is collected bit by bit.

Originally, everyone bought a star and a half to eat a fresh, so the spicy shabu that happened to meet could naturally meet the market demand.

But now that Xu An has entered the game, this output is far from enough for Xu's lo-mei restaurant to consume in a month, and the crisis has appeared.

For others, having shabu shabu or not has little impact on their lives; But for Xu An, for Xu's lo-mei shop, hell lo-mei is a signboard, a gimmick, and a vital existence, and the spicy as a raw material is naturally the top priority.

"Boss, you can help me collect how much is left, and how much you want! Can you help me spread a message from the production area, so that they can search for this pepper more, and how many you want! Xu An made a decision on the spot.

"It's not easy to do it over there." The owner of the chili shop glanced at Xu An obliquely, and then explained: "Now this shabu shabu will cost dozens of yuan a catty, if you let the traveling merchants over there know that there is a market here, the price is estimated to be hundreds of yuan, and it is not impossible to ask for hundreds of yuan." A few years ago, there was a food produced there that was sought after by everyone, and now the price has risen to more than 1,000 yuan a catty."

Although the owner of the chili shop did not finish his words, Xu An automatically finished this sentence in his mind.

In the case of no planting, only wild, it is not difficult to pick a little less and raise the price.

If shabu-shabu really rises to hundreds of yuan a catty, can't the price of hellish lo-mei follow the price, from more than ten or twenty yuan a pound to dozens of yuan or a hundred yuan a catty, right?

"Okay, I know, please help me collect the spicy food on the market, and collect as much as you can." After that, Xu An added: "Boss, your dried peppers are all sun-dried, that seed, no problem, right?" ”

"It's okay with the seeds, it's just that this thing is not easy to serve. When I first got this product, I was curious, so I got some seeds to plant, more than 30 seeds, and finally only four or five of them grew. The remaining four or five are all gone! I tried a few more times later, and at most I grew seven leaves at one time."

The owner of the chili shop knew what Xu An was thinking, and immediately brought out his own experience to dispel Xu An's thoughts. After babbling about this, he agreed to Xu An's request and helped him collect all the spicy food on the market as much as possible.

Hey————

Looking at the figure of the chili shop owner leaving, Xu An let out a long sigh.

The front foot found a solution to the problem of insufficient production capacity, and before I had time to rejoice, there was a serious problem of insufficient raw materials on the back foot.

According to the owner of the chili shop, the amount left over from his last home, plus the amount circulating in the market, according to the current consumption of Xu's lo-mei shop, will be exhausted in as little as three months or as long as half a year.

Xu An took out a sealed bag from the store, took out the seeds from five dried chili peppers, put them in it, and put them in his arms.

Go back to find Aunt Hong and ask a few of them to help try to plant it. They are all old farmers with a lot of experience in serving vegetables and fruits, and they are better than the chili shop owner, so maybe they can really grow them.

According to the information checked before, only the flower province in China is full of shabu shabu, and the output is not high; Abroad, the Emerald Country can also produce shabu-shabu, but it is also wild over there, and the country is relatively chaotic.

It's really not good, so I'll go to the flower province to see if I can start planting and cultivating locally.

If that doesn't work, then you can only modify the recipe, collect all the high-yield peppers on the market, and try the same slowly, and you can always find the right one!

In the reception room of the Qianhai Town Government Building.

"Rare guest, rare guest, Boss Lu, you are here, our Qianhai Town can be regarded as a flourishing town! I just heard, Boss Lu, you want to invest in Qianhai Town to set up a factory, I don't know if there is a place of interest, if not, let me introduce it to you? ”

A middle-aged man in a striped shirt walked into the conference room laughing, and sat next to Boss Lu in a good gesture. The subordinate immediately came over and poured the teacups of the two of them until they were eight points full, then put down the teapot and retreated outside the room.

"Hahaha, then please introduce me to the leader!"

Boss Lu took a sip of warm tea and put on an expression of reminiscence.

"Although I am not from Qianhai Town, my feelings for Qianhai Town are no less than those of the people of Qianhai Town! I think back then, I was just a foot trader, and I supported my family by dumping some seafood. At that time, most of the seafood was collected from Qianhai Town, and in this respect, I also relied on Qianhai Town to have the first funds, without Qianhai Town, there would be no current me! ”

"Yo! I didn't expect Boss Lu, your fate with Qianhai Town is so deep! Then you must find a good position for Boss Lu, let's help each other! With that, the middle-aged man in the striped shirt shouted out the door: "Xiaofeng, go to my office and bring the documents!" ”

"Roger!"

After the young man outside the door replied, he quickly walked into the leader's office, picked up the materials that had been prepared, knocked on the door of the reception room, handed the materials to the leader with both hands, and stood outside the reception room again.

"In the early years, this location was a chemical plant, covering a large area, the factory area was partially intact, and the water and electricity were also fine, and almost the equipment could be used when they were moved in."

"This is a stone processing factory, working outdoors, and there is a lot of open space, which is very suitable for Boss Lu to use when you choose seafood."

"Here."

After the leader of the striped shirt took the information and spread it out, he pointed out five ready-made factories and two open spaces suitable for building factories to Boss Lu in one breath.

"Forget about the vacant land, the construction period is too long, and these factories are good." Boss Lu first affirmed the recommendation of the leader of the striped shirt, and then said his thoughts: "You also know, I made my fortune by the sea, and I am very fond of the sea. ”

"It's close to the sea!" The leader of the striped shirt quickly glanced at the map, his wandering gaze settled, and his index finger pointed at a small rectangular plot: "Boss Lu, how is this location?" The factory covers an area of three hectares, and you can see the sea from standing in the factory. Wouldn't it be nice to set up an office on the second floor and work while looking at the sea? ”

"The size is quite right, and the location is good, let's go here and have a look?" Boss Lu watched his index finger fall on the position of his heart, and finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Okay, I'll let Xiaofeng prepare, let's go over and have a look."

The leader of the striped shirt put away the information, walked outside the reception room, entered the office with Xiaofeng, and quickly explained.

"Boss Nalu has taken a fancy to the abandoned paper mill on the tidal flat in the southeast corner of the town, you prepare the relevant materials, we will set off in fifteen minutes, no, twenty minutes!"

"An abandoned paper mill on the tidal flats in the southeast corner?" Xiaofeng showed a hesitant look on his face, glanced at the leader quickly, and then said softly: "There is an explanation from the factory, if someone wants to lease something, you have to report to them, this."

"Why do you have to report such an abandoned factory? Several bosses have been to see it before, haven't they all reported it? The leader of the striped shirt was a little displeased.

"At that time, the tidal flat was still state, and now it has been leased to the village collective to engage in tidal flat farming, and a hot spring eye has been discovered, and the top attaches great importance to it!" Xiaofeng quickly explained the reason to the leader of the striped shirt.

"Okay, okay." The leader of the striped shirt waved his hand helplessly: "How long will it take?" ”

"Fifteen minutes, five minutes will be fine, twenty-five minutes will be fine, and we will set off in twenty-five minutes!"

"Twenty-five minutes, the intention is not good, thirty minutes later, you hurry up and get ready, this Boss Lu is different from the previous bosses, this is really a big boss!"

"Eh, yes, I'm going to prepare!"

Xiaofeng quickly sat down at his desk, opened the email, edited a paragraph, checked that there was no problem with the formatting font, and pressed the send button.
