But this sausage and pork meatballs must appear in Wangyue Tower!
Shopkeeper Wang wanted to buy it, and Butcher Zheng wanted to boost his own business. The two hit it off immediately. There was no pen and paper at the time, so the two just made a verbal agreement.
Shopkeeper Wang asked Butcher Zheng to go to Wangyue Tower tomorrow to establish a written record.
Shopkeeper Wang left with grilled sausages and pork meatballs, and half of the items on the stall were suddenly gone. Butcher Zheng was very happy, and the business was a success!
However, as he was happy, he still had to do business, so he stood next to the stall again with a tray and shouted loudly.
Free trial, free tasting.
He also roped in shopkeeper Wang, and even the shopkeeper at Wangyue Tower in the county praised him!
The scene where shopkeeper Wang bought all the sausages and pork meatballs just now was seen by many people around him.
Orion's butcher shop is not far from Zheng's butcher shop, more than 20 meters away, with several shops in between.
The distance was not too far, and the Orion and the two men who fought with Zheng Butcher Zheng Qi yesterday also saw that scene.
See, see, see, these three people didn't pay much attention, they were busy.
What a joke, if Butcher Zheng says he is the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower, does that mean he is really the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower?
Who can prove that he is the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower?
Besides, even if the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower really showed up in town, how could he buy the cooked food from Zheng's butcher shop?
Zheng's cooked food tastes average. If it wasn't cheap, no one would buy it.
And the person just now tasted the food from Zheng's Butcher's Shop before buying it. Under normal circumstances, even if people are greedy for cheap and buy the cooked food from Zheng's Butcher's Shop, they would not buy so much in one go. After all, the taste is Not really good.
Therefore, the man and the carriage just now must have been hired by Butcher Zheng.
That scene was definitely planned in advance!
With this idea in mind, the three people on the Orion side didn't take Butcher Zheng's "performance" seriously at all. The pork in their butcher shop was cheap, and in addition to pork, they also sold vegetables, eggs, etc., even if it wasn't a big market. , there are also many customers in their shop.
They didn't bother to look at a butcher shop that was destined to run out of business. They were really busy.
On the other side, the shop owners to the left and right of Zheng's butcher shop and across from them had different ideas.
Just like the dim sum shop opposite Zheng’s butcher shop.
The owner of the dim sum shop has been selling dim sum in the town for many years. His family is not too poor and he can occasionally go to Wangyue Tower for toothpaste.
Shopkeeper Wang is very down-to-earth. Not only does he often go to the morning market for shopping, but he also often stays at the front desk to check out and collect money when he is at Wangyue Tower, so the owner of the dim sum shop knows him.
Just now I saw Shopkeeper Wang buying a large basket of things from Zheng's Butcher's Shop and carrying it on the carriage. Now he heard Butcher Zheng yelling like this, so the owner of the pastry shop couldn't help but wander to the front of Zheng's Butcher's Shop.
Anyway, it’s a free tasting, so give it a try, it smells really good.
When he pierced a piece of cucumber with a wooden skewer and put it into his mouth, he was surprised. What happened to Butcher Zheng's cooking skills that made such a huge change in such a short period of time?
This level is not inferior to Wangyue Tower at all!
After confirming that it was delicious, the owner of the dim sum shop asked how to sell it.
For braised pork head, one kilogram costs sixty cents.
For lean meat like braised big-bone meat, one pound costs forty-five cents.
For braised pork ribs, one pound is...
In short, the price of each part is different.
Moreover, they are not cheap.
This price is almost as good as the price of Wangyue Tower.
But the taste is indeed comparable to Wangyuelou's.
The owner of the dim sum shop is also in business. He calculated the cost secretly. One pound of raw meat can produce five or six taels of cooked meat. If you want one pound of cooked meat, you need nearly two pounds of raw meat.
Add the seasonings, especially the chili oil, which is so oily. When you come up to it and smell it, the aroma is fragrant. You can tell at a glance that precious aniseed ingredients have been added.
So, the owner of the dim sum shop bought half a catty of cold pork head.
At this time, other people were also attracted.
In addition to the surrounding shop owners, there are also people in the town and country people who come to the town to buy and sell things.
After trying the cucumber and fungus for free, I found that it tastes really good. Most people don't buy it. Those who are willing to buy it are either pure vegetarians or vegetarian dishes paired with one tael, two taels, or half a catty of braised pork.
But unable to cope with the crowds in the town, shopkeeper Wang bought all the grilled sausage and pork meatballs. So, in less than an hour, Butcher Zheng and the others sold out all the braised pork prepared at the stall.
After packing his things and putting them on the cart, he locked the door of the shop. Butcher Zheng drove the cart and walked slowly past the door of the Orion butcher shop, returning to the village from the north end of the town.
"Li Qiao, you didn't see how ugly the faces of those three people were. Tsk, tsk, they looked like they had eaten dead rats."
Butcher Zheng recalled the expressions on the faces of the three Orions and couldn't help laughing again.
Do you want to crowd out his shop so much that it can no longer be opened? Hey, his Zheng’s butcher shop is going to be prosperous again!
Li Qiao smiled: "That shop originally thought that when Zheng's Butcher Shop closed, they could raise the price. But now that Zheng's Butcher Shop is booming, their plan has failed."
"No!"
Butcher Zheng nodded firmly, deeply convinced.
He has always done business at fair prices and earned hard-earned money. The reason why he can live a prosperous life now is that he sells a lot of pork every day, and the little he adds makes a lot.
The Orion's shop set the price lower than his, with the purpose of squeezing him away. Now that Zheng's butcher shop can't leave, he wants to see if the Orion raises its price.
If the price does not increase, of course, you can still make money, but not much, because firstly, the price is low, and secondly, he is dividing the market. The money in people's pockets is limited. If you buy cooked meat from others, you can no longer buy raw pork from Orion.
If the price increases, then Orion's shop will have no advantage.
So, the one who is suffering now is the Orion.
whee.
After he was happy, Butcher Zheng's face became serious: "Li Qiao, tomorrow I will go to the county seat to establish a document with Shopkeeper Wang. This all depends on you, so you must take half of the money you earn, otherwise I will be angry. , I don’t need your charity, do you understand?”
"...Wherever there is charity."
Li Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he asked, "When you lent me the money, were you giving it to me?"
"That's right. Your eldest brother cried so pitifully at that time. I couldn't bear to see such a man who values love and justice cry so hard that he burst into tears."
Butcher Zheng nodded.
"..."
For the first time, Li Qiao didn't know how to answer the call.
Faced with such sincerity, he could not refute.
Tao Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen, couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
There were rare moments when Li Qiao was speechless.
He put down what he was doing and came out of the kitchen.
Li Qiao and Butcher Zheng sat under a shelf outside the shed. The weather was hot in summer, so Li Qiao asked Li Dashan to cut down trees from the mountain and built a small shed with ventilation on all sides along the shed for eating and resting.
Tao Zhu walked over, sat down next to Li Qiao, and said to Butcher Zheng, "Uncle Zheng, let's settle the score."
"Okay, let's settle the accounts. I brought all the money!"
Butcher Zheng took off the money bag hanging from his waist. There were broken silver and copper plates in it. He was about to pour all the money inside on the table, but Tao Zhu immediately stopped him.
"Uncle Zheng, what I want to settle is a pig's debt."
"A pig's account?" Butcher Zheng was puzzled.
"Let's talk about the pig head first. If a raw pig head weighs ten kilograms, you will only get five or six kilograms of pig head meat in the end."
"The profit from a pound of pig head meat is about twelve cents. Calculating six pounds, this is only seventy-two cents."
"Seventy-two cents is quite a lot, higher than those selling pigs." Butcher Zheng said.
"But you are also earning hard money. You marinate the pig heads, mature them, and then transport them to the town. It's so hard in the summer."
Tao Zhu said.
"That's right!"
Li Qiao nodded quickly and gave Tao Zhu an approving look. He was confused by Butcher Zheng's sincerity just now, and for a moment he forgot to refute from this angle.
"Uncle Zheng, the pigs we raise in the countryside generally weigh only more than a hundred kilograms. Each of these pigs can produce about a hundred kilograms of raw pork. Let's do a general calculation. If the profit per kilogram is twelve Wen, the profit from one hundred catties is twelve hundred Wen.”
"Brother Qian said that under normal circumstances, you sell three pigs in two days. If there is a big market, you can sell more."
"If calculated based on this amount, that is to say, the profit per day is 1,800 yuan. Of course, this is only an ideal situation. If there is an accident, it is very likely that you will not earn so much."
"Uncle Zheng, let me tell you the truth. Brother Zhu and I earn much more than you do every day. You also earn hard money. On hot days, you have to chop meat and stir it, and you have to sit around. We're lighting the stove, so Brother Zhu and I really don't need you to give us any money."
Tao Zhu nodded at the side: "Uncle Zheng, we know what you mean, but when you helped Li Qiao, you never thought that Li Qiao would be able to repay the money. Comparing his feelings, now that Li Qiao is helping you, he never thought of asking you for any money. .”
"That's different!"
Butcher Zheng looked around at Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, opened his eyes wide and explained: "The price you calculate is based on the price of pork in the butcher shop, but I am not. I am a pork seller, so I The cost of making braised pork is lower. The money I actually earn is several hundred cents higher than what you calculated."
"When I sold raw pork, I only earned seven to eight hundred cash a day. Even if I share half of what I earn with you now, my family will make more money every day than before."
"Besides, how can making money not be hard work? After this, I can keep my family's business with just a little hard work, and even earn more than before. God has been kind to our family."
"I should give half of this money to you! Otherwise, I'm afraid that God won't be able to bear it, and my family's business will not be able to continue if it shows up."
Having said this, he approached Li Qiao, lowered his voice, and said with a respectful and pious expression: "God is watching our village."
Li Qiao: "..."
He also became serious: "Uncle Zheng, you also know that God is watching our village, so the money you get today is the reward for your good deeds that day."
"Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded. You have done good deeds, so God has rewarded you."
Butcher Zheng: "..."
It seems to make sense.
But no, this is not right.
When Li Qiao saw that Butcher Zheng had stopped talking, he was about to continue his efforts, but Butcher Zheng slapped his thigh fiercely: "You gave the recipe for maltose to your elder brother and sister-in-law. Although they didn't take the money, they gave you maltose at a low price." .”
"So, the prescription you gave Li Liang was not for nothing."
