Zheng Bajin kept his word and asked Zhang Xiaoyang to buy the ham alone the next day. However, he also taught him some knowledge about repairing the ham and how to make it look good.
What surprised him was that Zhang Xiaoyang had a clue in his mind after watching him practice a few of them yesterday.
Moreover, the hams he collected were all top-grade, not only plump but also had small bones.
Zheng Bajin was very satisfied and asked him to earn five cents per pound.
As a result, Zhang Xiaoyang was extremely happy. As long as he received one hundred kilograms of ham a day, he would earn five yuan. If it's 600 kilograms, it's 30 yuan. However, he can't receive so many at all, and he can't pick a few at a time.
The most important thing is that there are not many in Shili Village now.
However, even if you can only receive 100 kilograms, it is still better than working as a small laborer.
And Zheng Bajin, in order to prevent him from making mistakes, will only give you two to three hundred catties of capital for the first time.
Even so, Zheng Baliang and Zheng Laohai were extremely unhappy. They felt that Zheng Bajin just ignored family ties and let outsiders make money when he had money.
Even Qingqing was not very happy, but Nian Jianan didn't say anything? He knew that he was not a business material, so he could help Zheng Bajing with some transportation and earn some freight.
Zheng Bajin did not explain to Qingqing, but took Nian Jian'an, loaded the ham that had been heavily salted into the car, and headed for the city.
As for Zheng Baliang and Zheng Laohai, they can only do some cool labor and some simple jobs, and they are not expected to be of any help.
Of course, holding back is the bottom line. If you dare to do anything random, don't blame yourself for killing your relatives out of justice!
…
The two set off with half a cart of ham. Nian Jian'an asked Zheng Bajing a little strangely: "This ham is obviously not dry yet. Now I want to sell it in the city. Can I sell it?"
"Of course it can. This is fried bacon. It has less moisture and tastes good. It is a favorite among people in the city. Now, do you understand why you need to put a lot of salt on it?"
"Are you selling a few pounds of salt to city dwellers as a few pounds of meat?" Nian Jian'an held the tractor handle with both hands and glanced at Zheng Bajing.
"This is just one of the reasons. At this time, the salt has not been fully incorporated and it has a little weight. The important thing is not to increase the dose. In a short period of time, the salt will not be incorporated and the taste will not be good."
"But when it comes to taste, it's those with less salt and longer storage time. Generally, the aroma won't come out until after April next year. However, we don't wait any longer and sell some of them first, just like going in advance. Open up the market, there are still hams in the village waiting for us to buy."
Nian Jian'an fell silent, stopped talking, and turned back to concentrate on driving.
Although, at this time, there are few cars on the road, you must drive carefully. Safety is more important than anything else.
The two of them bypassed Xiangjiezi and passed behind the street.
Zheng Bajin thought of Mrs. Meng and wondered how she was doing now.
I'm not in the mood to care about this. Everything was caused by Qian Bo. He just needs to take care of it.
When he arrived in the city, Zheng Bajin asked Nian Jianan to park the car in front of the municipal building. Now, this was the easiest place to take action.
At this time, it was time to get off work at noon, and a well-known man with a middle-parted hair came out. Seeing the sudden appearance of a walking tractor, they all looked at it curiously.
Zheng Bajin immediately started selling it: "Old Qiucheng ham, come here and have a look, come here and have a look, it tastes great! I'll regret it if I don't sell it."
People were stunned for a moment. This business was done directly at the gate of the municipal government. It was the first time.
A man in his thirties asked curiously: "How much do you charge per pound?"
People in Qiucheng all talk about single pounds, not kilograms. There is no need to explain this, everyone understands it tacitly.
"Brother, if you buy it whole, it costs two yuan per catty. If you buy it in small quantities, it costs two yuan and a half." Zheng Bajin smiled at the first customer and did not forget to introduce the ham to him. Nutritional value.
"Two yuan and a half? It's a bit expensive, let's take two yuan. I'll buy some to try. If it's as delicious as you said, I'll buy more." The other party began to negotiate the price, attracting other people to watch.
"Brother, two and a half yuan is already very cheap. I haven't made any money from you at all. It's just to build a brand. I bought it for one and a half kilograms, discounted the water content by two taels, and removed some bones. It's already at the cost of It’s within.”
The other party was a little confused. This guy didn't look like someone who knew how to do business. He couldn't even bargain?
I gave you two yuan, shouldn't you say you want two yuan or something? It is a matter of course to say that the sky should be equal to the earth. I didn’t even give you a dollar and a half, so why did you just give it a fixed price?
The other party thought for a while and said cheerfully: "Okay, for the sake of this being your first time doing business, give me two kilograms."
Zheng Bajin felt happy, took out the knife, cut off a piece for the other party, put it on the scale and weighed it, two catties and eight liang.
The business was done for only seven yuan.
Seeing that man take action, the others were not far behind. After a while, one ham was sold out, but the remaining bones made Nian Jianan a little dumbfounded. How could he take action?
At this moment, an old man in his fifties suddenly appeared beside the car. He glanced at Zheng Bajin and frowned.
Zheng Bajin was very good at observing people's words and knew that this person's identity was unusual, so he greeted him with a smile: "Uncle, this is the best bone. You should always take it back and stew it over a slow fire. It has the effect of replenishing calcium."
"Do you think I have a calcium deficiency?" the other party said angrily.
"Of course there is no shortage. It was a slip of the tongue." Zheng Bajin apologized hurriedly.
He opened a new ham and cut off a piece from the heart. It weighed two kilograms. He handed it to the old man's hand and said, "Then try this. It tastes very good. If it doesn't taste good, you don't need to pay for it."
elder:"……"
Is it okay to buy something that doesn’t smell good? Do I look like a freeloader?
"How much per pound?"
"No need to pay, just take it back and taste it first. If it tastes good, I'll pay you later!" Zheng Bajin said sincerely.
"How much is a pound?" The old man looked a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, then I'll give you two yuan per catty. Everyone else is two and a half yuan." Zheng Bajin looked so flattering that Nian Jianan couldn't stand it.
"Others can pay two and a half dollars, so can I." The man raised the meat and asked him to put it on the scale together with the bones.
Zheng Bajin was a little dumbfounded. The old man believed that bones can replenish calcium. However, his conscience was somewhat uneasy to treat the bones as meat and sell them for two and a half pounds.
Before he could recover, the old man had already looked at the scale, calculated the total price, and handed the money into his hand.
Not a penny too much, not a penny too much, just the money of flesh and blood.
Zheng Bajin hurriedly thanked him and watched the old man walk away.
Nian Jian'an also felt strange. Could this old man be stupid?
No matter how rich you are, you don’t have to play like this?
