After standing there for a while, I found that I couldn't help, so I stopped delaying. I lifted the briquette stove off the tricycle, put five empty steamers on it, and left. Then I quickly went to buy a new stove, and started cooking.
I took the pot and headed home, and along the way I saw many people holding leaf cakes in their hands.
When I got home, my mother had almost filled the remaining three steamers, "Son, you go out to eat at noon, you are too busy."
Zhang Heng nodded and went up to help. He had to go to work at one o'clock in the afternoon and he would leave at twelve o'clock. He couldn't be late. "Okay, by the way, Mom, I just heard someone say in the market that the Ye'er cakes in the supermarket are selling very well."
It’s expensive, costing two and a half yuan each.”
"Haha, you stupid kid, can the things in the market compare with those in the supermarket? The pork in the supermarket sells for seventeen or eighty yuan, and the middle rib sells for more than twenty... Just because the things in the market here are cheap, in the city ahead
People come here to buy vegetables, otherwise how many people do you think can come to Xiner Village to buy vegetables?" Mother paused and then said: "Our Ye'er cakes cost at least two yuan each when we go out of the market, but outside
The shops here are too expensive, and the urban management can’t set up stalls randomly. It’s better to do business in this market with peace of mind, no one is in charge.”
He had seen the price of pork that his mother mentioned when he went to the supermarket just now. Since he didn't understand, he simply asked: "Mom, those pig bosses come to the village to collect fat pigs and only give them a price of seven yuan and eighty cents per catty. Don't they want to make a lot of money?"
money?"
"There's not that much. Pork has to be shrunk when it's slaughtered. Pork neck meat can't be sold at a high price. Take my mom's shop as an example. The poorer meat can only be sold for 11 or 2 yuan per catty, and the better meat can only be sold for 11 or 2 yuan a pound."
It's only fourteen or five yuan. Pork belly is also fourteen yuan per catty. The ribs are more expensive and sell for sixteen yuan per catty. The little pigs in the city outside can only kill a little more than a hundred catties of meat. Mom is in the shop.
You only earn more than two hundred yuan from selling a pig. There are usually times when business is not good, and there are fewer people on rainy days. Calculated in a month, you can earn five to six thousand yuan, which is not as good as the vegetable market in the previous city. There are three markets there.
The rent for a square meter pork stall costs more than 2,000 yuan a month, but you can sell several pigs in a day..." Mother explained patiently.
Zhang Heng became more and more confused the more he listened, but he also understood something. It was probably that the prices in the market here were not the normal prices in the city. The main city outside was more expensive. He kept his hands busy, helping his mother wrap up the cakes and prepare them for the meal.
Pack two extra steamer baskets.
At this time, the mother said again: "Our cake only weighs two taels, and the flour accounts for one tael. The water in it accounts for the weight. The cost of the flour is only 15 cents. The salted vegetables are made of green vegetables. Green vegetables
In our village, they are all grown to feed pigs, but they cannot be sold for even a cent or a pound. This little salt vegetable is just a little salt, not even worth five cents. There is only a little bit of pepper powder, which is basically nothing. Pork is
Our own meat, based on cost, is only two or three cents for Sanqian meat. If we can use only fat meat and shave off the parts that are not easy to sell, we can also lower the price. Steam the cake once and it will be better.
If you don’t use a square of energy, you’ll need two yuan. If you divide it evenly, the cost of a cake will be one or two cents more. In total, the cost is only about fifty cents, but if you switch to another store, you have to count the cost of salt and vegetables.
Yes, it will cost about ten cents more. If more lean meat is used, the cost will also increase, as well as stall fees and labor costs. In regular stores, these are all included in the cost. So, son, we sell
One yuan and a half is enough to earn more than half, so just be content."
Zhang Heng nodded vigorously. He really didn't know much about this. He didn't expect that his mother, who only went to elementary school, could be so good at calculating a baby's account in such detail. But he still asked again: "Then I heard that in the supermarket
The leaf cake is filled with red bean paste."
"Haha, bean paste weighs more. Those beans are cowpeas in our village. They are called red beans in the city outside. They are much more expensive than green vegetables. The stall fees in supermarkets are different, so they should be more expensive." Mother explained.
Zhang Heng suddenly realized, no wonder the three cakes in the supermarket weighed out a price of 7.2 yuan. It turned out that the bean paste weighed more than the scale.
Then he asked some more about vegetable prices, and his mother explained them one by one. Finally, he concluded that it was just that wages in the outside cities were high, so prices were also high, and the prices of vegetables were different in different seasons.
It sold for three yuan, but the next day it went up to four yuan or dropped to two yuan. The price of pork also fluctuated frequently. My mother used to be lucky enough to see beef prices rise, so she earned the cost to buy the stall.
My mother also said that working outside the home is not easy. Renting a single room outside the market will cost at least 500 yuan a month. If it is a suite, it will cost at least 600 or 700 yuan. This is just an old house. The mother also said
The salary of ordinary office workers outside is only two to three thousand yuan a month. Excluding rent, water, electricity, transportation, living expenses, and daily consumption, it is basically impossible to save money. Zhang Heng also heard the term "moonlight clan" for the first time!
The wages of hard labor on the construction site are relatively high, about 140 a day for small workers, and 200 for large workers. However, it is impossible for his mother to allow him to work on the construction site, so she just listens, but Zhang Heng
But he felt that working on the construction site was nothing. Many migrant workers in the village worked on the construction site. When he just graduated from junior high school, he had trouble with his grandmother, but he almost followed the migrant workers to earn money on the construction site outside.
.
While the mother and son were chatting, the work was finished. This time they steamed five steamers, about 300, plus the previous six steamers, which were more than 300, making a total of 600. The meat fillings were basically used.
Guang, he chopped a little more than ten kilograms of meat from last night's sale into stuffing, plus the two kilograms of barbecue he secretly added. On average, one cake really costs less than three yuan of meat. According to the cost of pork, it's more than nine yuan.
Calculated per kilogram, Sanqian Pork really costs less than thirty cents, but Yeerba already tastes like a lot of meat. The key is that it feels more meaty because it is thinly packed and kneaded into the salted vegetables.
After the steaming was completed, Zhang Heng used a tricycle to pull it to the market. As a result, the remaining steamer was almost empty. At eleven o'clock, the lunch crowd also came out to buy vegetables.
"The business is really good. I didn't expect that the rice cake sellers can also sell pork for takeout. At this rate, the pork will be sold out after noon. Usually, it takes until the evening to sell out the pork." The mother said happily.
Said hehe.
Zhang Heng was also happy. If the business is not good, it will increase his psychological burden. He also heard his mother say: "Today is the first time. Everyone is trying to be fresh and buy something on the way. It depends on how the business will be in the future."
Tomorrow’s reaction.”
Zhang Heng nodded and watched his mother and the three of them busy at work, observing how to buy and sell, how to speak, and how to receive reception. However, he was urged to go on the road soon after by his mother, who asked him to quickly find a place to eat and then go to work. Don't leave on the first day.
Late.
When Zhang Heng was walking on the road, he couldn't tell whether the idea of going to work now was right or wrong. Finally he shook his head and said with a smile: "My grandfather said that you have to work more when you are young so that you can enjoy it when you are old. You have to suffer first before you can enjoy it."
sweet!"
As a young man, is he still afraid of working five hours a day? So what if he is rich now? The villagers' surplus grain can last for three years, and they still have to plant rice in the second year. Be careful and work during this time.
You must learn more. It would be best if you can meet friends and teach them how to surf the Internet.
——————————————
The witchcraft stopped that day, and sweet potatoes were planted again. The land that Wang burned was also planted with sweet potatoes. The cliffs in the cave were covered with paintings and a large number of stone slabs were piled up. Many of them were painted by Wang. He
To spread the glory of the King.
This day the witch stopped and looked at the salt bag for a long time. There are patterns on it, and there are also these small squares, which are very beautiful. These are things on the sun. Wang also painted small squares like this...
Dozens of solar days later, Wu woke up from his meditation, drew the first square on the stone slab, and roared: "King!"
I saw that the lines on the stone slab were also very messy, but they were constructed into the shape of squares, and they seemed to be vaguely carved with a human figure...
ps: One more thing to mention, regarding prices, I basically write based on actual conditions, but prices must vary greatly from place to place, so don’t pay too much attention to it, thank you!
