Chapter 14 Oil Mills(1/2)
"Peanuts! Sell peanuts! This year's new peanuts, who can buy peanuts to come and have a look!"
"New peanuts just dripped from the greenhouse..."
Chen Ling found a spacious place in the grain area, parked the donkey cart, and shouted at the top of his throat.
At this time, there were just a large number of people in the grain area.
Chen Ling's shout immediately attracted a lot of people.
When I saw fresh peanuts with mud, I thought it was quite rare.
After asking, Chen Ling said that it was planted in a greenhouse.
The crowd immediately became more lively and kept asking Chen Ling about this and that.
Someone asked which village Chen Ling was from, some asked him if it was easy to plant a greenhouse, and how much it would cost to build a greenhouse...
All the questions asked were all, and during this period they also tasted Chen Ling's peanuts.
They also think it is more delicious than ordinary peanuts.
But it was not as fast as Chen Ling thought.
It’s not that no one buys it, but that it buys less.
I bought it for two or three kilograms, and a little more is only five or ten kilograms.
The most I bought only fifty kilograms, and I was still the owner of the grain and oil store in the farmers' market.
I told Chen Ling that peanuts are delicious, but I don’t know if they produce oil, so I will try it with about fifty kilograms first.
If the oil is not produced much, eat it yourself as fresh peanuts.
It made Chen Ling speechless.
I wonder if I overestimate the purchasing power of this era.
Next, Chen Ling shouted from time to time and said that the people who bought peanuts never stopped.
When I saw that it was fresh peanuts, I heard Chen Ling say that they were planted in the greenhouse, so I was willing to buy them.
But the problem is that you buy less.
At around eleven o'clock, there were still about 70 kilograms of peanuts left on the donkey cart.
"Tsk, I used to think that the more than 500 kilograms of peanuts were missing. Who knew that there were so many left after a whole morning?"
Chen Ling shook his head, feeling quite helpless.
In fact, he also understood that such a thing was not urgent.
No matter in this era or in the future, it is not easy to quickly open up market sales and attract a large number of customers.
It was just because there was the Sun and Moon Cave Heaven that Chen Ling had a little high expectations.
"And this is based on the market price, and there is no price increase."
The current market price of peanuts with shells is 80 cents per pound. With the gimmick of fresh peanuts and greenhouse peanuts, Chen Ling increased by 10 cents and sold for 90 cents per pound.
People can still accept it.
But if it increases by 1 cent and 1 yuan per kilogram of peanuts, it will be unacceptable.
The money in this era is quite valuable.
Moreover, the difference in the price of miscellaneous grains is relatively small, 20 cents higher than the market price, so they cannot be sold at all.
Unless Chen Ling takes out the peanuts planted directly in the cave.
But how could he sell that kind of peanut now?
I don't want to bear it!
It was noon and there was no one in the grain area.
Chen Ling sold another twenty kilograms of peanuts, and there were more than fifty kilograms left on the donkey cart, so he couldn't sell them any longer.
So he decided to have a meal and fill his stomach first.
Then I will find a way to solve the remaining 3,000 kilograms of peanuts in the cave as soon as possible.
For lunch, Chen Ling ate the noodles at the farmers' market.
Red oil soup, pork sauerkraut, a large bowl of hot water, the amount is very affordable.
Chen Ling was very satisfied with eating. After paying, he drove out of the market in a donkey cart and found a place to feed the donkey water.
Donkeys can't stand it if they don't eat or drink for the whole morning.
In order to reward the stubborn donkey, Chen Ling fed it with some peanut vines and leaves left for the chickens in the cave.
Now, this guy has attracted the greed.
He stopped by the road and didn't leave anymore. Er'er shouted at Chen Ling, and even pushed him with his mouth, asking him to continue to eat.
"Damn it, you dare to eat with your attitude..."
"Don't even think about it."
Chen Ling had a dark face and shook the whip hard, rushing the old stubborn donkey to continue to rush into the county town.
He plans to visit major oil mills or grain and oil shops in the county to see if he can sell more peanuts.
Then this turn was beyond Chen Ling's expectations.
He just filled the donkey cart again before he got over.
As a result, after transferring the first oil mill, he unloaded 300 kilograms.
And this oil mill is not big.
The boss tasted fresh peanuts. Although the soil on the outside was fresh, the peanut kernels were very dry and could directly press oil.
I heard that it was planted in a greenhouse, so I passed the scale happily and then paid the money and delivered the goods in the same hand.
Finally, I told Chen Ling that I would leave 300 kilograms first to try out how to produce oil. If possible, I would ask him to deliver it here next time.
Chen Ling was quite confused after hearing this. Why did he buy it back and try it? The owner of the farmers' market only left fifty kilograms, but only 300 kilograms of such a small oil mill?
Later, I asked someone to inquire and found out that although the oil mill does not look big than the grain and oil store, they face different customers.
The customers supplied by the oil mill include hotels, hotels, supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores, grain and oil stores, etc. Even the small oil mill has a wider sales than ordinary people imagine.
At the same time, the bean cakes and peanut cakes left over from the oil are also very popular.
Selling to feed factories sometimes makes no less money than oil pressing.
In most cases, grain and oil stores face ordinary consumers.
The shipment volume is relatively small.
Only then did Chen Ling realize that he had made the wrong direction from the beginning.
Now, according to the information I inquired about, I will understand the truths that came over after a little thought.
He also had little contact with these things in his previous life and had never deliberately understood them. He couldn't tell the difference between an oil mill and a grain and oil shop.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have made such low-level mistakes.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ling took the initiative to ask a few more questions while inquiring about the oil mill.
Then I learned.
In this season, peanuts are still in short supply, and the peanut reserves in various oil mills have gradually insufficient before the New Year.
New peanuts have not been planted yet.
So as long as you go to the oil mill and as long as the peanuts are of quality, you will keep some of them.
Start at least 200 kilograms.
The entire county town of Lingyun is not big, but there are still a few oil mills.
So Chen Ling threw out about 1,500 kilograms of peanuts in half an afternoon.
In addition, I sold it at the farmers' market in the morning, and it was about 2,000 kilograms.
It can be seen from the more than 1,800 yuan in cash in hand that this day has gained a lot.
"Um……"
"What if these oil mills try to produce oil, you won't have to worry about the sales of peanuts in the future."
Chen Ling is confident in the peanuts watered from Dongtian Creek.
Of course, even if the entire county town of Lingyun is saturated, the township oil mills below can also be redirected.
It's really not possible to go to the neighboring county.
None of this is a problem.
After counting the money in his hand, Chen Ling went to buy a plow rake and a local rake.
I bought a few bags of various rapeseeds and other mixed seeds, and then drove home in a donkey cart.
To be continued...
