Chapter 112 The Chen Family's Future Business

Chen Qi's method is very simple. He built two drying racks on the sidewalk outside the store, and put a thick bamboo in the middle.

Then on the pole, all pheasants, wild ducks, hares, and old valley chicken legs were hung out.

In the upper and lower rows, dozens of preserved meat sauce products of various colors were hung there, instantly attracting the attention of people passing by on the road.

While the silly elder sister and Chen Qi were busy hanging out the cured meat, Lan Lijuan helped write a promotional slogan on a piece of red paper.

Lan Lijuan was also worried that her handwriting was too ugly. After all, she had never learned brush calligraphy systematically, but what Chen Qi wanted was this kind of "simplicity".

You must know that the advertisement of the Chen family's shop is self-produced and sold. If you make it too formal, it will be troublesome when the red sleeves come to the door.

Now the neighbors all know that the newly moved family is from the mountains and bought a house with the help of relatives, so it is normal to sell some souvenirs now.

Chen Qi knew that these neighbors must look down on his family in their hearts, so his family might as well be home.

Soon, Lan Lijuan's slogan was written:

"Self-produced and sold, authentic game, the quantity is not much, until sold out."

As soon as the red paper was pasted at the door of the store, a group of middle-aged women gathered around, pointing at the preserved chicken and duck hanging at the door, and smelling it from time to time.

"Hey, how do you sell these chickens and ducks?"

The silly elder sister didn't know how to write the word embarrassment, so she stood up and said with a smile:

"Auntie, this is made of authentic pheasant and duck. We don't charge much. The price of pheasant and duck is 2 yuan per catty. The hare and Laogu chicken are more expensive, 2.5 yuan per catty."

It costs 2 yuan a catty, which is what Chen Qi has considered carefully. These days, a catty of pork costs 1.5 yuan with a ticket. If you go to the black market, the price is also around 2 yuan.

The same is true for chicken and duck meat, fresh ones cost 1 yuan and 60 cents, and the market price for a chicken weighing three or four catties is at least 5 or 6 yuan.

The cured meat is dehydrated after being marinated, so the weight is reduced a lot, so adding salt money, marinating process money, and shipping costs add up, and it is not expensive at 2 yuan a catty, let alone game.

Sure enough, these aunts became interested when they heard that it only cost 2 yuan a catty.

As mentioned earlier, Vietnamese people have a salty taste, and they especially like preserved meat sauce. Not only is it delicious, but it is also very salty, so it is especially suitable for rice.

So immediately an aunt brought out a cured chicken she was satisfied with:

"Come on, girl, let aunt weigh how much this chicken is."

For the convenience of the silly elder sister, Chen Qi specially bought a platform scale. Put the goods on the pallet and hang the weight on it. Just move the scale horizontally, and the weight can be seen at a glance.

The scales in the 1980s were all standard scales, but it would not happen that you weighed 5 catties in the market and only weighed 4 catties when you got home.

The silly elder sister was very happy when she saw that there was business just after opening:

"Auntie, look, this chicken is 2 catties and 7 taels in total. I only charge 2 and a half catties. How about charging you 5 yuan?"

The aunt was very happy when she heard it, and she took advantage of it and paid 40 cents less, so she immediately took out the money:

"Okay, auntie will steam it tonight and try it. If it tastes good, I will help you sell it."

"Okay, take your things, auntie, welcome to come again next time."

An order was completed in the blink of an eye, which made Chen Qi stunned. He was worried that the silly old lady lacked a brain and was not sure whether she would be suitable for doing business. But now he found that the clown was himself.

The eldest sister has a somewhat socially obsessive personality, but at first glance she has a straightforward personality, which is very easy to gain the trust of ordinary citizens, and she is born to do business.

The silly elder sister took the money, looked at the 5 yuan note again and again, and thought it was so beautiful, and then carefully put it in the drawer.

Seeing that the first order was sold, the aunts all rushed to pick up the preserved meat they were looking for and wanted to buy it.

Seeing the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and seeing the happy look of the silly elder sister in the crowd while greeting and weighing things, Chen Qi also felt relieved.

I finally found something for my eldest sister to do, and it was still a small fortune business.

Lan Lijuan was also surprised when she saw that the bacon business was so good. She is also from the mountains, so of course she knew that this kind of cured chicken and duck was not worth much in the mountains.

After all, they are all hunted or caught with traps. If you want to talk about the cost, the cost is the cost of salt. How much is it?

As a result, the mountain people's food was sold at a "sky-high price" in the city, which made her eyes shine all the time.

If she can also sell the bacon at home, or go to the village to collect some bacon for sale, will she be able to make a fortune for the family and allow her younger siblings to return to school? Can mothers reduce the stress of life?

"Squad leader Chen, what do you think the profit will be in this business, big sister?"

Chen Qi saw that there was no one around, so he said softly:

"It scares you to death when you talk about the profit. Let me just say that I received 1.5 yuan for the wax dog just now in the village. Is this price not a disadvantage for the people in the mountains?"

Lan Lijuan nodded. A chicken costs 1.5 yuan, which is definitely not cheap in the mountains. You must know that the work points for a month were only 10 yuan.

"I received a chicken for 1.5 yuan, weighing 2.5 catties. Then I sold it for 5 yuan, so I had a net profit of 3.5 yuan. Look at the Laogu chicken leg that the aunt wants to buy, at least 7 catties, 2.5 yuan per catty costs 17 yuan, but my purchase price is only 5 yuan, and the profit is 12 yuan."

Lan Lijuan's eyes are about to be a little star, and her monthly subsidy is only 10 yuan.

"Wow, Squad Leader Chen, making so much money? It's unbelievable."

Chen Qi shook his head:

"That's me, other people's business can't be counted in this way. Our family has a storefront and saves rent. The eldest sister is a salesperson and saves workers' money. In addition, there is a big head of transportation. We have to find someone to pick from the mountains. Come out, and then go to Keqiao Town to transport it to the city by boat, do the math, how much will it cost?"

Logistics is the big head of any business, and this phenomenon will not be resolved even by 2022.

Many agricultural products have rotted in the field in the place of origin, and no one buys them for pennies or ten cents per catty, while urban residents pay several yuan per catty to buy vegetables, and even dozens of yuan per catty during the epidemic. Can't buy it yet.

This is why the cost of intermediate logistics is too high and transportation is difficult, resulting in such a huge price gap between the two ends.

Doing business is what you earn.

Of course, Chen Qi likes money. Only when he has money, can he have the confidence to resist the invasion of sugar-coated bullets in the future, and not forget his original intention, to be a good doctor, not a doctor with red envelopes.

The Chen family's small shop on Lu Xun Road opened bustlingly, but in the meeting room of the People's Hospital, there was no sound.

Everyone sat in their respective positions and swallowed the clouds, only Qi Damin, the chief of the medical department, was emotional:

"This kind of bad trend must be firmly opposed and severely punished!"
