When Li Shiqiang was about to negotiate a price, his mother Chen Xianglan spoke again.
"Uncle, how can such a small amount of meat be enough for a restaurant as big as yours? If you put up a sign and go out, won't this meat be sold out? If it's sold out, customers can't ask you for it. ? You might run into us next time."
Hearing this, the old man also hesitated, staring at the meat on the car board with some embarrassment: "You sound nice, but the problem is that I don't know if I can sell it as well as you said. If it doesn't sell, If you drop it, wouldn’t it just hit your hand?”
Chen Xianglan jumped off the platform, pointed to the workers on the street who were riding bicycles and were about to go to work, and said: "Uncle, look at how many people there are in your county, and they are not short of money. Can’t sell out?”
"Besides, even if you don't believe in our meat, can you still believe in your own craftsmanship? It seems that I am a skilled craftsman, otherwise I wouldn't be able to lead such a big restaurant!"
"And if you buy more, we can give you a cheaper price!"
Chen Xianglan was so talkative that she was just praising the old man in a roundabout way.
But these words were not in vain. After finishing speaking, the old man finally looked a little moved.
"Okay, okay, sister, tell me how much cheaper you can give me?"
When Chen Xianglan heard this, she suddenly smiled, stretched out two fingers and said: "Uncle, how about we sell it to you for two yuan? The beef and mutton are sold for one and eight dollars, but our bear meat and antelope meat are only two yuan more expensive. Dimes.”
"If it were anyone else, the price would have to be two and a half yuan, otherwise it would be too much of a loss."
"Two dollars?"
The old man frowned and seemed to be a little hesitant.
But at this moment, several aunts carrying baskets suddenly came to the cart, looked at it and asked, "What kind of meat do you have? How do you sell it?"
Chen Xianglan smiled when she saw this, and said to the aunts: "Sister, we got blind bear meat from the mountains, and antelope meat, two yuan and a pound."
"What!? Two yuan and a pound?"
"So expensive!?"
When the aunts heard this, they quickly frowned in fear and prepared to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, Chen Xianglan stopped them again and said: "Sister, although this pound of meat is a bit expensive, it has been sold to a nearby restaurant. If you want to eat bear meat and antelope beef, you can go inside the restaurant. Have a taste."
After saying this, Chen Xianglan quickly pushed the old man's arm.
When the old man saw this, he also understood and said: "This restaurant has special dishes today. Bear meat and antelope beef cost one yuan a portion. If you want to try it, you can bring your family to the restaurant."
As soon as these words came out, several aunts gathered together and murmured a few words. After a while, they walked away with the basket in their arms with a smile on their face. Looking at the hurried look, they might have gone back to the house to ask someone to come for dinner.
When Chen Xianglan saw this scene, she immediately turned to the old man and smiled: "How is it? Uncle? Guests are coming soon, don't you prepare more meat?"
"Okay, okay. Give me four bear paws and forty pounds of bear meat and antelope meat."
The old man smiled, turned around and shouted to a young man standing at the door of the store: "Miss, go and open the store for me, and then take out the scale in the store for me."
"Okay, Master!"
After waiting for the old man's apprentice to come out with a scale to calculate the money and move the meat back to the restaurant, Li Shiqiang immediately approached his mother, stretched out his thumb with one hand and said: "Mom, I really took you right this time! With just a few words, I sold an extra 40 pounds of meat, and you still sell it for two yuan a pound! You are so awesome!"
Xu Sheng also boasted with some excitement: "Ms. Chen, it has to be you. With just a few words, you can coax people into running around! If Erwa and I come to sell meat, we will probably be coaxed into running around by someone else."
Chen Xianglan was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. After counting the money, she raised her head and said, "What the hell, it's not even a hundred catties! If these seven hundred catties are sold for two yuan a catty, then it's considered awesome." Woolen cloth!"
really.
If all these 700 kilograms of meat were sold for two yuan a kilogram, that would be one thousand four hundred yuan.
At least two more blue-tiled houses can be added to the Li family.
But it seems that this is a bit difficult.
When the meat was first sold, many people were watching at the door of the restaurant. When they heard that it was sold for two yuan and a half a pound, they stopped looking at it.
Even if someone heard that it was sold to a restaurant for two yuan a pound, no one would come up to ask.
Li Shiqiang thought for a while and said to Chen Xianglan: "Mom, there are two restaurants in this city. How about taking the remaining meat to their store and asking?"
"Okay, that's it."
Chen Xianglan wrapped the money in a handkerchief and stuffed it into an inner pocket on the waistband of her trousers, then sat down on the car and said happily: "Let's go, let me meet them again."
These days, private restaurants are not allowed, and there are only three restaurants in the county.
Although the names of the hotels are different, they are all state-owned hotels.
The one we just went to is called the Dazhong Hotel, and the remaining two are called the Dazhong Hotel and the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel.
When they went there, Chen Xianglan was still talking to the chef in the store, while Li Shiqiang and Xu Sheng stood beside them as foils.
Perhaps it was because Chen Xianglan said that Dazhong Restaurant had bought forty kilograms of bear meat and antelope beef each. Both restaurants did not hesitate and bought forty kilograms of meat each.
This time, another 160 kilograms of meat were sold. Adding the previous 80 kilograms, a total of 240 kilograms of meat was sold in just one morning.
And they were all sold for two yuan a pound.
After receiving so much money at once, Chen Xianglan was very excited and sat in the restaurant with her son, drinking soy milk and eating fried dough sticks.
"Tsk tsk tsk... the food in this restaurant is delicious."
Li Shiqiang took the fried dough sticks, soaked them in the bowl, and smiled as well: "Mom, now our family has money, if you want to eat it in the future, I will lead you to eat it."
"No, no."
Chen Xianglan shook her head and said: "It's enough to eat once or twice. Anyone who wants to eat can eat it. I'll keep the money for you to marry a wife. In two years, the youngest will also have to study. At home, You still have to provide for it.”
After saying that, she said to Xu Sheng who was lowering his head to cook next to him: "Besides, Sheng Wa's share of the money is included, so we can't spend it carelessly."
"hey-hey!"
Xu Sheng licked the empty bowl and asked, "Ms. Chen, there are more than 400 kilograms of meat left. Where should we sell it next?"
As soon as she said this, Chen Xianglan also frowned with some embarrassment and said: "Let's go to the black market first and have a look. Let's call for two yuan first. If no one buys it, we will sell it cheaper."
Li Shiqiang was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something and said: "Mom, before going to the black market, let's go somewhere first. Someone ordered some meat from me before, and I have to deliver it to him first."
"Okay, let's go then."
