Chapter 123 Opening a restaurant is the most profitable
But before he even raised his arm, he was frightened away by Shu Mingli's look, "What, you still want to buy and sell by force?"
"Forget it if you don't want to sell it, I'm not interested in collecting it." The boss timidly put down the stool and sat back down.
The family moved to several stalls carrying their items, and without exception, the prices offered were not high.
A wise man saw that many sea anemones in the basket were broken, and he opened his mouth and wanted to have sex for nothing. As a result, the angry old lady Shu pointed at her nose and scolded her.
On the way to ask about the price, they also met the village chief and Old Man Tang who were also selling goods. After asking, they learned that they had sold out.
After working hard all morning, I sold for sixty or seventy cents. This is still the end of the tide. How miserable will it be to stay on the normal side?
Old Man Shu expressed his disbelief: "I see you caught a lot of crabs this morning, how can you sell them for such a small amount of money?"
"Crabs cost three cents per catty, clams, conches, etc. cost one cent or two catties. I'm lucky to be able to sell them for sixty cents. The uncle who sells them with me sold them for twenty cents."
When the village chief got excited, his voice became even harsher.
Mrs. Shu stood on the roadside and observed. As the village chief said, most fishermen came with a large bag of stuff, but they could only sell it for ten or twenty cents.
Even so, the receiving boss still has to pick and choose, lowering the price again and again.
Food prices on the island are extremely expensive, and cotton, bowls and spoons are not cheap either.
Comparing the two, no wonder the people in Xingfu Village are so poor, and no wonder no one is willing to go to Qiongzhou. This place is a trap!
The fat boss I met at the beginning saw that they had been shopping around for a long time without selling any goods, so he came over proudly with a coconut in his arms and said, "Well, I just said you can't sell it, right?"
Don't be stubborn, just sell it to me, I'll add another penny and treat it as a friend."
"No, we can't afford a friend like you."
Shu Mingzhi blocked the fat pig's trotters he stretched out, curled his lips, and sneered: "Brother, I have also run a small business, and I know all the twists and turns...
If this crab is really worthless, would you take the initiative to come over and talk to me? I’m afraid you won’t even want to talk to me!”
The fat boss was exposed and snorted arrogantly: "Let me tell you the truth, your crab is indeed worth two yuan, but money is not so easy to make.
There are not many merchants on this broken island who are willing to come and sell it to me. How can you sell them out?"
"I don't have to worry about it anymore." Shu Mingzhi glanced at him and left with his family.
Mrs. Shu carried a basket of snails on her back and scolded her all the way, "These black-hearted people will bully the common people!
The oil and water in my belly is almost dripping out. If you are still drinking human blood, your heart is so dark, you will be punished sooner or later!"
"Grandma." Yan Yan interrupted her complaint, wiped off her saliva and pointed to a small restaurant on the roadside. Smoke curled up from the kitchen above the restaurant, and there was a faint aroma wafting from it.
Mrs. Shu was a little confused, "Are you hungry again? Didn't you just eat before coming here?"
Yan Yan shook her head, "How about we sell the crabs and clams to restaurant owners. They have to cook for many people every day, so they must buy a lot of vegetables."
"I think so too." Shu Mingzhi continued: "Those people must have sold the seafood to restaurants. If that's the case, why don't we sell it ourselves?"
Clams are available everywhere, and they are not rare, so they may not be sold. There must be shops willing to accept big red flower crabs and sea anemones. As long as the restaurant charges higher than the price offered by the evil boss, then they will make a profit.
Mrs. Shu was moved, "Come on, let's go in and ask."
The old lady held the little dumpling in her arms and entered the store with Shu Mingzhi, while the others were waiting outside the store.
As soon as the three of them entered the store, what greeted them was not the enthusiastic waiter, but three big confused faces.
Shu Mingzhi scratched the back of his head in confusion, "What's wrong? We entered the wrong store?"
The three people opposite you looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, a man dressed as a waiter spoke: "Are you here to eat?"
Without waiting for Shu Mingzhi to explain, the man next to the waiter said again: "You are late, our store is closed."
B?
Not such a coincidence, right?
Shu Mingzhi pointed to the kitchen, "Aren't you still cooking?"
The man said three words simply and neatly: "Let's have dinner."
After a pause, the man asked again: "Do you want to buy a store? The boss is in urgent need of money and is selling the store at a loss. No three hundred taels, no two hundred taels, just one hundred and ninety-nine, and a luxurious restaurant to take home."
Shu Mingzhi: "..."
Who are you trying to fool?
"Mom, let's go out and see another house."
Yan Yan's lips moved, wanting to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Shu Mingzhi took her away.
Alas, she actually wanted to say that her grandmother’s cooking was so delicious, why not buy the restaurant and sell the food herself?
In this way, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell your seafood, and you can make more money at the same time. How great!
The family walked around the pier and finally found a larger restaurant.
The boss saw that their crabs were of good quality and wanted to buy them, but the price was still not high. Big crabs cost fifty cents each, smaller crabs cost ten cents per catty, and sea anemones cost thirty cents.
One pound.
"Brother, I have already gritted my teeth to charge this price. There are not many rich people in our small wharf. No matter how good the crabs are, it will be useless if they are not sold, don't you think?"
This reason was sincere enough, and Shu Mingzhi was afraid that he would kill the crab by tossing it around, so he sold the thing at the price offered by the boss.
The boss saw that he was so cheerful that he accepted the clams at the price of one penny per catty.
The final total was more than one tael of silver sold.
Old Man Shu was quite satisfied with the result, "One tael at a time, ten taels ten times, and we can sell dozens of taels a year. After saving for two years, we can build a new house."
"You only count what you get, not what you spend, right? How much food does our family of more than ten people need to eat in a day, don't you have any idea?" Mrs. Shu glared at him.
"If two years doesn't work, then four years is enough, as long as you can make money." Old man Shu was easily satisfied, "Don't be too greedy. Others can't sell it for this amount."
Yan Yan lay on her uncle's back and retorted quietly in her mind: This little money is not enough to spend. She promised her fifth uncle to send him to school and she couldn't break her promise.
There are also third uncles and fourth uncles who are already so old. If they don’t get a wife, no one will want them.
After much thought, she still felt that opening a restaurant was the most profitable, and since her grandmother's cooking skills were so good, there was no need to waste them.
But grandma obviously has no idea of opening a restaurant, and Ti will definitely not agree to it now. She must think of a way, and it is best to recruit a few more allies.
It will be effective if we all advise together.
Xiaotuanzi, who had made up his mind, immediately took action, stretched out his chubby arm, took Old Mrs. Shu's sleeve and said, "Grandma, didn't you say we should prepare delicious food for dinner? Let's buy vegetables."
The first step in opening a restaurant: supervise grandma to cook a sumptuous seafood feast to conquer the whole family!
Mrs. Shu took her from Shu Mingli's back and said boldly: "You tell me what you want to buy, grandma listens to you!"
Yan Yan counted them with her fingers: "Eggs, ribs, green onions, garlic..."
