Dealing with foodies is quite simple.
There was no intrigue or scheming coming and going.
As long as he can give Mr. Li something delicious, he is still happy to help.
"Mr. Li, you must accept this handful of cat claws and thorn buds. It is a small gift from me, but you are not allowed to give me money. I dug them all by myself in the ground and they are worthless." Xu After Qingfeng went downstairs, he walked out of the yard. After a while, he turned back and found two more handfuls of wild vegetables in his hand.
Mr. Li accepted it with a smile this time.
Wild vegetables are indeed not expensive, and the etiquette is light but the affection is heavy.
"Qingfeng, you are serious." Mr. Li changed his name to Xu Qingfeng.
The person I was talking about was a young man, but now I am talking about Qingfeng. This kind of title makes people feel that the distance between them has become much closer.
Soon, Mr. Li took Xu Qingfeng to the cafeteria.
Xu Qingfeng got his wish and met the canteen director Sun Weimin.
After learning that Xu Qingfeng had a moose in his hands, he was also a little surprised.
"Great, to be honest, our cafeteria has always wanted to improve the food for forest farm workers, but you also know that it is too difficult to get meat now. The supply is limited every day. The chefs in the cafeteria have nothing to do. There is no use for cooking skills. With this moose, I think the food quality of employees will be significantly improved in the next period of time." Sun Weimin said excitedly.
He was not doing this because of Mr. Li, but he was telling the truth.
These days, it is actually difficult to work in canteens, especially in canteens of large state-owned factories.
The food and drink of workers are related to the production of forest farms.
When you eat well, you are more motivated to work.
"Director Sun is right. If you eat well, you will work harder. Speaking of which, I should really replace the forest farm workers. Thank you Qingfeng." Mr. Li said with a smile.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Xu Qingfeng left an address, which was his family's old house.
The place where his grandparents used to live is now abandoned and uninhabited.
Xu Qingfeng asked for the key from his mother yesterday. His grandparents' house had a large granary, which could be used as Xu Qingfeng's temporary warehouse.
In the future, all transactions with the forest farm can be conducted there.
Moreover, Xu Qingfeng's grandparents' house was a single-family house, close to the foot of the mountain. When his grandparents were alive, they liked peace and quiet, so they chose this homestead.
Few people used to go there, and now even more people don’t visit it.
So it's perfect for trading these things.
Xu Qingfeng also asked Sun Weimin if he wanted wild vegetables. He could supply them in large quantities.
"There are indeed wild vegetables in Qingfeng. They gave me two handfuls just now. They are very fresh and tender and of good quality." Mr. Li mentioned it at this time.
When Sun Weimin heard what Mr. Li said, he immediately said that he could take it in half a month.
"Thank you so much, Director Sun." Xu Qingfeng said excitedly.
"Why are you calling me director? We are separated. Just call me Uncle Sun. I still know your father, Xu Heping." Sun Weimin said to Xu Qingfeng.
So Xu Qingfeng called Sun Uncle and made Sun Weimin happy.
But after half a month, the wild vegetables in the ground can be dug. By then, wild vegetables will no longer be rare. Besides, after eating them for half a month, everyone will no longer be interested in wild vegetables.
However, Xu Qingfeng was very surprised. Wild vegetables can be picked without waiting for them to mature, and a batch can be harvested in almost three days.
In other words, you can trade with the canteen five times.
One thousand kilograms at a time, which is five thousand kilograms of wild vegetables.
Even if it is wholesaled to the canteen at 2 cents per pound, it is still worth a thousand yuan.
One thousand yuan in 1979.
So fragrant.
Two years' salary for forestry workers.
After Sun Weimin learned that Xu Qingfeng was still selling fish, he also said that the forest farm also needed a lot of fish.
This gave Xu Qingfeng a sense of being favored by the goddess of luck.
Wild vegetables are only a half-month business, but fish and shrimp are needed all year round.
"Uncle Sun, I will be selling wild vegetables and fish in the black market today. I will send some over later for proofing in the canteen. You can check the quality then." Xu Qingfeng said.
That's fine, Sun Weimin nodded.
Although he is said to be the director of the cafeteria and has the authority to purchase vegetables and meat, there are several deputy directors under him, and the cafeteria is not his exclusive responsibility.
There are samples, and if the quality is excellent, the others will have nothing to say.
Xu Qingfeng quickly left the canteen and went to the black market.
Seeing that there were about 30 kilograms of wild vegetables left, Xu Qingfeng asked his brother and Junzi not to sell them, but to send them directly to the canteen, along with the remaining unsold fish.
"These are quite a lot of money, brother, are you really going to give them away?" Xu Qiusheng said with some pain.
"Brother, you have to know that if you are willing to give up, you will get something. Think about it, we are retailing in the black market, selling pounds by pounds. Isn't it very tiring, and we have to go in and there are several people there, but Selling to canteens is different. You can trade hundreds or a thousand kilograms at a time. Even if the price is lower, at least it saves time and effort. With that time, we can also free up our hands and find other ways to make money." Xu Qingfeng talked to Xu Qiusheng and Junzi about some tips on doing business.
When they come into contact with this industry for the first time, they naturally don’t know the ins and outs of wholesale and retail.
In terms of volume, it is definitely better than retail.
When Xu Qingfeng said this, they both understood immediately.
That seems to be the case.
In fact, their fish were not sold out every day in the past two days.
At the end of the sale, there will be more.
The extra fish will not be fresh at the end of the sale. Although they can be fed to the turtles in the space, there are so many fish in the Songhua River. If they can be sold, there is no need to use these fish to feed the turtles.
Now that the space can also raise fish, Xu Qingfeng will not need to worry about the food of the soft-shelled turtles in the future.
After a while, Xu Qingfeng went to the canteen again.
Seeing these wild vegetables and fish, Sun Weimin was completely relieved. The quality was indeed very good.
I believe I can silence the rest of the people in the cafeteria.
After coming out of the canteen, Xu Qingfeng took Xu Qiusheng and Junzi to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"You two are spending all the money today, and I'm paying the bill. Brother, Junzi, if you see what you want, just tell me." Xu Qingfeng said to Xu Qiusheng and Junzi.
Xu Qiusheng and Junzi's eyes lit up: "Really? I want that big color TV, will you buy it too?"
Xu Qingfeng...
"Brother, you really know how to choose. I can't afford that TV now..." Xu Qingfeng said dumbfounded.
Xu Qiusheng laughed loudly: "Brother, I'm kidding you. We don't have electricity at home. Why buy a TV? It's hard to put it there to watch."
Xu Qingfeng chuckled, his brother reminded him.
After making money, you should indeed buy some things for your home.
In this era, when wealthy people get married, they will buy four major items.
But those are wealthy people. Ordinary people can afford two big items, which is pretty good.
When his brother got married, his parents bought him a radio and a sewing machine.
Last winter, I bought Xu Qingfeng a bicycle and a watch.
For the two sons, it can be considered as a bowl of water.
However, buying these two things for Xu Qingfeng also emptied the family's savings.
So when Xu Qingfeng was injured and brought home, his parents had no choice but to sell these two things to raise money for the operation.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Qingfeng is empty-handed now.
Of course, this is the right decision to make.
Money is an external possession, of course saving lives is more important.
In the 1970s, the four major items were bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios.
In the 1980s, the four major items became televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and tape recorders.
Now in 1979, there are already televisions, refrigerators and washing machines, and tape recorders are a bit ahead of their time.
Xu Qingfeng planned to buy a TV for his family when he had enough money.
Black and white TV sets are quite cheap these days, and you can buy one for a few hundred yuan.
If it is a color TV, it will cost more than a thousand.
Xu Qingfeng felt that there was no need to buy a color TV because there was not much TV to watch these days.
After being baptized by later generations of film and television dramas, Xu Qingfeng is not interested in today's television.
The reason why I plan to buy a TV is just to watch it for my family.
After vCds and DVDs came out in the 1990s, when film and television dramas also exploded, Xu Qingfeng would consider getting a large color TV to watch more classic movies.
In the 1980s and 1990s, many excellent film and television dramas were produced.
It’s also good to revisit a classic.
The three entered the supply and marketing cooperative.
Xu Qingfeng took the two of them straight to the second floor of the supply and marketing cooperative, because in Xu Qingfeng's memory, fishing gear was sold on the second floor of the supply and marketing cooperative.
After all, it is on the Songhua River, and the workers in the forest farm have some spare money. During their breaks on weekdays, many workers have a hobby of fishing, so the supply and marketing cooperative will naturally not miss the business of these people.
Xu Qiusheng and Junzi didn't know where Xu Qingfeng was taking them at first. It wasn't until they arrived that their eyes lit up. There were actually fishing rods for sale here.
In addition to fishing rods, there are also many fishing gear supplies needed for fishing.
"Junzi, look, how is this fishhook? Is it strong or not? Is it much bigger than the ones bought in the village?" Xu Qingfeng said to Wang Xiaojun.
When Wang Xiaojun saw the large fishhook in Xu Qingfeng's hand, he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Is this someone who caught a fish weighing dozens of kilograms?
incredible!
