Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Selling Crayfish
Seven days later
Deep in the mountains.
The broad-leaved forest is lush and leafy. Even though the temperature has been around 30 degrees these past few days, it's still a bit chilly inside the forest.
Jiang Heng shuttled among them, the burlap bag in her hand was mostly full, and her bright eyes swept through the grass and dead branches. After so many days of picking, she could quickly find the mushrooms she needed. For example, at this moment, she saw several clusters of chicken mushrooms at a glance.
About two meters away, there is a small patch of fir mushrooms. Of course, if she stimulates them to grow, it will become a large patch.
Jiang Heng walked over quickly and gently grasped the stem of the chicken mushroom. The soil underneath softened automatically. With a little force, he plucked up a chicken mushroom, followed by the second, the third...
Then we went to pick fir mushrooms.
As the temperature gets higher, there are more and more mushrooms. Before, I had to run up one or two hills to fill a sack, but now I can fill it up before running up one hill.
In a week at most, mushrooms will be available on the market on a large scale, and competitors will surely emerge.
However, Jiang Heng had no intention of lowering the price.
After picking this batch of mushrooms, the vegetables in her field can be harvested one after another. The number of mushrooms will be reduced, which will make her life easier. She won't have to go up the mountain so frequently. She can go up once in a while, pick mushrooms, dry them, and sell them slowly.
Of course, we still have to work hard today.
Colleague Song Ming needs a lot of mushrooms!
Because of her hard work in the past few days, the mushrooms that Ye Sui needed have been dried. She came here today for another purpose, which was that Ye Sui had rounded up 6,000 yuan and told her to just add some local specialties.
Specialties, Jiang Heng really had a headache for a while.
The main reason is that although they are close to mountains and water, due to their geographical location, there is nothing particularly rare here.
It was too cheap and she felt embarrassed to buy it.
She also knew that Ye Sui only spent that much money, and he definitely didn't just want to buy mushrooms, but might just want to help her. Therefore, Jiang Heng also wanted to try to come up with something better, preferably one that would surprise Ye Sui, the rich woman.
It just so happened that yesterday when she was picking mushrooms she encountered a few bees collecting honey.
The grass and trees in the forest irrigated by her spiritual energy grew much faster than before, so there were many more flowers in full bloom, and there seemed to be more bees. Jiang Heng suddenly thought of honey.
Nothing can better represent the characteristics of this mountain forest than its output.
These are all good things.
Therefore, Jiang Heng brought a plastic bag with her today.
It's for storing honey.
When the sack in her hand was almost full, Jiang Heng observed for a long time. Most of the bees in the hive she was targeting had gone out to collect honey, so she did not hesitate and took action quickly.
There is no need to climb up carefully, just hit it with a water blade.
A small piece of the huge beehive hanging on the treetop was cut open by the water blade, and then another water blade penetrated from the bottom to the top of the branch and the connection between the beehive, successfully cutting the beehive open and causing it to fall quickly.
Jiang Heng opened the plastic bag and steadily caught the honeycomb.
I didn't want to make too much, just about half a pound.
It will not have any impact on the wild bees.
After packing the honey into the plastic bag, Jiang Heng picked up the sack and quickly left the crime scene. When the bees came back, they would not realize that she was the one who stole the honey.
After only taking two steps, Jiang Heng noticed the familiar yellow-throated marten.
The little guy was squatting on a branch in her way, staring at her with his head tilted, then his eyes moved and looked at the beehive behind her.
Jiang Heng: “…”
It seems that another favorite food of the yellow-throated marten is honey?
I don't know if it's to cling to her or to "repay her," but I've seen the yellow-throated marten every time these days. But he hasn't picked mushrooms for her anymore. Maybe he's afraid of getting beaten? Ahem, but he often helps her watch the sacks. Since yesterday, Jiang Heng has been using four sacks. It's too much for one marten to watch, so he's called in his companions to help.
God knows that after Jiang Heng took back the first sack, he teleported to the second and third sacks, and he could still see the yellow-throated marten. He almost thought that the yellow-throated marten could also teleport!
After all, most of these wild animals look pretty much the same to humans, so it's normal that we can't tell them apart at first glance.
When they met again at this time, Jiang Heng had no temper at all.
especially……
Jiang Heng silently broke off a palm-sized piece of honey and threw it to it, whispering, "Don't tell on me!"
Just consider it as your reward for these days.
The yellow-throated marten was startled again when it saw the flying thing, but this time the block of honey fell directly in front of it not far, emitting a familiar sweet smell. Its dark eyes immediately lit up, and with a nimble leap, it pounced over and grabbed the piece of honey.
Jiang Heng also moved away from here and went to the next forest.
Following the same method, Jiang Heng collected mushrooms and honey at the same time. She successfully destroyed all the beehives in the area where she had watered Lingyu, and collected about four kilograms of honey in the morning.
However, this quantity comes with the honeycomb, which needs to be filtered before you can get the honey.
——
Jiang Heng returned with a full load, carrying four sacks.
Recently, while watching the builders building a house, she found that the shoulder pole was very useful. With two hooks on one pole, it could lift four sacks at a time. Why didn't she think of it before!
The fresh mushrooms were quite heavy, but they felt light when carried on her shoulders.
As usual, he used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch to reach the edge of the forest, and then walked out slowly.
This piece of land was deserted until it got close to the village, where some scattered plots of land were planted. A little closer, and Jiang Heng could see his own land, where a group of people were working hard.
With everyone's help, the chicken coop, duck coop, pigpen and sheep pen are progressing rapidly.
The first chicken coop under construction has reached the stage of covering the tiles.
Large pieces of red tiles were brought up one by one, and the three craftsmen laid them steadily one by one, and the roof of the house was completed. Jiang Heng also wanted to build some racks inside the chicken coop and duck coop so that the poultry could fly up to rest, instead of having to lie on the ground, which was prone to rheumatism (bushi).
In addition, all the land owned by her family and the activity areas of each type of poultry and livestock must be separately enclosed with fences.
Her pond has been contracted out, and she also needs to install a fence and build a small house.
But relatively speaking, the workload was much smaller. The old master had eaten and drunk well these past two days, and was working under the scorching sun, yet he seemed even more energetic than when he first arrived. Therefore, he worked efficiently, and his speed was much faster than Jiang Heng had expected.
The main body of the chicken coop and duck coop was built first. In order to facilitate maintenance, the interior of the house was paved very flatly. Once the shelves were installed, you could buy chicks and ducklings and feed them first.
Jiang Heng looked at it expectantly and walked back briskly.
When I opened the gate, the caramels and puddings that had grown quite a bit came sticking to me.
No matter how many times, the dog always greets her enthusiastically, insisting on rubbing against her and whimpering non-stop.
Jiang Heng could only slowly walk to the concrete ground with the two little dogs that were kicking and tripping him, put down the shoulder pole, and pour out the mushrooms in the bag. At this time, there were already five drying racks in the yard, and each drying rack had three large winnowing baskets.
A pile of various mushrooms was spread out on the dustpan.
Jiang Heng took a look and saw that the mushroom had just turned over.
She asked her aunt to come and help turn the noodles over every one or two hours when she was not at home, and she didn't need to come when she was at home.
My aunt-in-law agreed to this little thing very readily. In the afternoon when she was at home, my aunt-in-law would come over to help turn the noodles over, for fear that she would forget.
Jiang Heng habitually rubbed the spoiled puppies. After comforting them, she picked up the heavy bag of honey and went into the kitchen. She put everything else aside and dealt with the honey first. She was... greedy.
This is pure wild honey.
It is honey made from the nectar of spiritual flowers.
It must be delicious!
However, Jiang Heng had never dealt with this before, so she could only search for methods and follow the tutorial step by step to filter out the clearest honey.
Fortunately, the glass jar she bought in advance arrived yesterday and had been cleaned. Now, through the fine gauze, watching the thick yellow transparent honey flow into the jar little by little, Jiang Heng felt inexplicably relieved. What was going on?
So smooth and comfortable.
After filtering everything out, we finally got a little over two pounds and one ounce.
It sounds like a lot, but the plump glass jar in front of me is actually only half full.
Jiang Heng first made himself a cup. He used magic to cool the boiling water, added a spoonful of honey and stirred it. The thick honey melted into the water and disappeared. Jiang Heng took a sip to taste it.
There is a sweet taste as soon as you take a bite.
It is different from the sweetness of mulberry juice, but also different from the greasy taste of sugar water. It is more natural and lingering, with a hint of sourness in the middle, which makes the taste more layered.
When drinking it, you can smell a light and pleasant floral fragrance at the tip of your nose.
I heard that honey made by bees that specialize in collecting a certain kind of honey will also have a floral fragrance. For example, locust flower honey has a very clear locust flower fragrance. However, the honey that Jiang Heng got was not like that. In such a large forest, the bees basically eat whatever they can get, so they must eat whatever is in bloom.
But this does not affect its pure natural sweet taste.
In particular, there is a bit of spiritual energy mixed in it. The bees collect nectar from flowers watered by the spiritual rain, and the honey they brew also has spiritual energy.
Jiang Heng took a few more sips before putting it down.
After drinking, continue working.
I took out a few small glass bottles and filled them one by one. The bottles could hold about 150 grams, but they were not full. I stopped when they were about 70% or 80% full. I estimated that they were only about 2 taels.
——
After filling eight small bottles, there was only three or two ounces of honey left in the glass bottle.
She kept the three or two ounces for herself.
There were eight portions packed, one for Ye Sui, and the rest for her aunt, one for her cousin, one for her uncle, one for her uncle's son, and one each for two neighbors who helped with the work. She also kept a separate portion of the dried mushrooms for her uncle, which was just right to send together with the honey.
Jiang Heng put the lid on and put these aside for now.
When the delivery comes, we will send them to the express delivery point to my uncle and Ye Sui. Then I will go to the backyard. The water bucket in the backyard has been turned into a frame for the aquatic area. The frame is mostly filled with water. In the deeper and more spacious frame, many fish and shrimps are swimming in it.
There are eight boxes in total, four boxes of crayfish and four boxes of fish.
It really feels like a fishmonger!
This was fished out yesterday. The pond has been contracted out, and the big guys in it need to be cleaned out. Try to catch as many big fish and shrimps as possible.
Otherwise, when the small fish fry are put in, the loss will be relatively large.
So she used the four traps she bought, put the fish intestines that Caramel Pudding had not eaten as bait, and fished them out at night, and she caught so many!
This is the result of throwing back some small fish and shrimp.
She took photos of all the fish, shrimp and mushrooms she was going to sell, and then posted them in her newly created ordering group.
[Jiang Heng: If you need it, you can pre-order it directly. We can deliver it if you spend more than 500. The stall will be open at 5:30 today, so you can also come and buy it directly.]
Send out the price by the way.
[Torch Chicken Mushroom, 200 yuan/jin (23 jin in stock)
Guduo Chicken Fir, 260 yuan/jin (11 jin in stock)
Porcini, 180...】
After sending the message, the small group of only about thirty people immediately started ringing with the following message:
[Hai Kuo Tian Kong: Oh my god! It’s crayfish!]
[Hai Kuo Tian Kong: Boss, your crayfish is so big, can we catch it?]
Jiang Heng:?
Song Ming's father, a fisherman, really casts his rod whenever he sees water.
She declined with a smile and tears, and other guests also sighed
[Boss Ge: These are so big! I want to buy some, boss, I'll order them from you.]
[Years of Peace and Tranquility: This head is really big. It’s a pity that my daughter is still in confinement after giving birth. I’d better buy some fish.]
[Little Fatty's grandfather: Sister Gao, why hasn't your daughter finished her confinement yet?]
[A Quiet and Peaceful Life: She'll have to stay in bed for a full two months. But she looks much better these days. She just gave birth, and her face is so pale. If she didn't mind the heat, I'd like to have her stay in bed for three months...]
【……】
The guests started chatting, but the orders were not placed in the group, and they were basically private chats, so it didn't affect anything.
The reason for creating a group and asking regular customers to join is to let them know the specific time of the stall setting up so that they don’t come away disappointed.
She has been going there every other day these days, and the group has only been open for three or four days, so only about thirty regular customers have joined.
After exiting the group, Jiang Heng saw a lot of private reservation messages. In addition to the usual chicken mushrooms and mulberries, Boss Ge also bought a fish and two kilograms of crayfish.
The other bosses also added a little bit, probably to taste it first.
After replying, it was time for dinner, and Jiang Heng could hear Chen Aying calling them to have lunch outside.
She was about to cook when she heard someone coming in and hurried out to see.
Chen Aying came in with her uncle Jiang Daqiu.
Jiang Daqiu looks very similar to her father Jiang Erqiu, and both are good-looking. Even though he is old now, with deep wrinkles on his face and his skin is tanned from working on construction sites all year round, you can still tell that he was a handsome guy when he was young.
However, both of them have the same clumsy personality. Jiang Heng's mother often says that Jiang Heng must have inherited his personality from the Jiang family and is not talkative. What will he do when he enters society in the future?
My uncle came back on the second day of work.
Jiang Heng wanted him to rest more, but he refused to listen. He came back in the morning, changed into work clothes in the afternoon, and ran to help carry bricks and mix cement. He worked enthusiastically. Jiang Heng wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Jiang Peng. His daughter calmly said, "It's okay. If he wants to work, then let him do it. He's happy to work for you."
Jiang Heng could only pick some extra mulberries every day and make mulberry juice for them to drink.
The juice made from the spiritual mulberry is good for your health if you drink more of it.
Seeing the two of them coming together, Jiang Heng was a little surprised: "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Jiang Daqiu was a little shy: "Your mushroom is quite delicious..."
Chen Aying rolled her eyes and explained, "Your uncle wanted to eat the mushrooms you picked. He's had a feast these past two days. I specially saved a jar of mushroom meat sauce, and he finished it in just three days. Xiaoheng, bring me some mushrooms and make some meat sauce for him to eat at the construction site."
Jiang Heng suddenly understood and nodded quickly: "Sure." She said with a smile: "Uncle, just say it directly, what's there to be embarrassed about? They are all picked from the mountains, and they are free."
As she spoke, she reached for the bag, "They're fresh mushrooms, at their best time."
Jiang Daqiu smiled innocently, "You're thinking about selling them for money. Even if mushrooms are free, you still have to go to the mountains to pick them. I heard that you sell them for a lot of money."
In fact, ever since Jiang Heng started selling mushrooms, there has never been a shortage of mushrooms at home. Some would be sent every two days, but Chen Aying sent most of them to her daughter. Xiaoxiao likes to eat them, so how could she bear to eat more?
So I only left one can of mushroom pâté to eat when I felt like it.
But who knew that Jiang Daqiu would finish the meal in three days after he came back, and this was on the premise that the meals were very good every day. Chen Aying was wondering how he finished it. When she asked, she found out that sometimes when he couldn't sleep at night, he would scoop two spoonfuls of sauce, pour some wine, take a mouthful of sauce and a sip of wine, and finish it in one gulp.
I didn’t have anything to eat yesterday, and I kept complaining while eating noodles this morning. Without mushroom sauce, the noodles were not tasty.
Chen Aying wanted to scold him, but she felt sorry for him because he was working alone outside, so she said she would come over to ask Jiang Heng for some. The man was hesitant again, so she simply dragged him over.
Jiang Heng retorted, "Even if we make money from selling our products, we can't afford to feed our family."
Jiang Daqiu nodded foolishly and said nothing more.
Chen Aying looked at Jiang Heng's extravagant way of packing mushrooms and couldn't help but remind her, "Hey, hey, hey, pick fewer, you don't need that many! Keep these porcini mushrooms for yourself, they're really expensive..."
Jiang Heng said, "It's okay, just cook more. Uncle only comes home a few days a month, so the food outside is definitely not good."
Chen Aying scolded: "You don't need so much. It takes me half a day to make meat sauce."
Jiang Heng smiled: "Then I'll help you do it this afternoon."
"No, no, you're busy. Making money is more important." Chen Aying quickly refused. Seeing that Jiang Heng was still trying to fill the bag, she simply took over and snatched the bag away. She took out the expensive ones like the porcini mushrooms, leaving only two kilograms of the cheaper mushrooms. She smiled contentedly, "That's enough. This much should make more than a dozen bottles of sauce. After all, it's pickled vegetables. Eating too much is not good for you."
Jiang Heng was helpless. She wanted to fill it up immediately, but it was snatched away, so she had to give up and instead filled it with two pounds of chicken mushrooms. "Auntie, make some chicken mushroom oil with this. You don't need to add too much salt. It's very healthy!"
"You are such a generous kid." Chen Aying shook her head, but the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
Before leaving, Jiang Daqiu looked at Jiang Heng and sighed: "Xiao Heng is really promising. Work hard. When uncle comes back next time, maybe he will see you with a flock of chickens and ducks."
Jiang Heng nodded confidently: "Of course I will!"
——
After lunch, Jiang Heng practiced as usual.
The workers take a lunch break until two o'clock and then get up to work.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Heng went to the backyard and transferred half of the fish and shrimp to the tricycle, followed by mulberries and mushrooms.
There were more and more things, and the basket of the tricycle was full. In the end, they could only hang the packaged mushrooms on both sides. The things that were to be given to Ye Sui and his uncle in advance could only be placed on the side of the seat.
It was a close call. If it were a little more, this small tricycle wouldn’t be able to hold it anymore.
After everything was sorted out, Jiang Heng set off a little earlier than usual because she had to send the express first and then deliver the goods. Now she has to deliver mushrooms to ten stores. Each store wants something different, but the categories are mostly fixed.
There is a restaurant with good reviews but relatively high prices that only serves three items: chicken mushroom, porcini and black mushroom. Jiang Heng saw on Choutuan that they have launched new items: chicken mushroom oil/porcini fried rice and black mushroom stewed chicken. Several of the latest positive reviews have mentioned these three items.
Some people specialize in making soups and prefer tea tree mushrooms.
The portions are not that big, after all, mushrooms are expensive and the food made from them is not cheap either, but the total amount is large.
Jiang Heng can earn nearly ten thousand yuan every day just from their orders.
In addition, I can earn another four or five thousand by setting up a street stall.
In just seven days, she had paid back the 50,000 yuan owed to her uncle's family, becoming completely debt-free and now having nearly 70,000 yuan in savings.
Because of this, my uncle and his family realized that Jiang Heng’s daily income from selling mushrooms was much higher than they had imagined.
Today, due to the increase in orders for fish and crayfish, the total booking price has directly exceeded 10,000 yuan.
Oh my god!
Before she traveled through time, she was just a hardworking slave. Who would have thought she could earn over ten thousand yuan a day?!
Jiang Heng was in a good mood and delivered the orders one by one in order. The second one was to a fast food restaurant with a smile on her face.
The store was still quite busy today. The boss had hired an assistant, so he had some time to chat with Jiang Heng. He took the mushrooms and said with a smile, "By the way, Boss Jiang, I heard that mushroom prices have skyrocketed recently. Many mushrooms have been reduced in price, right?"
Jiang Heng was a little surprised. She had thought that with the increasing supply of mushrooms, their market might also see a lot of goods flowing in, and the price would fluctuate. She hadn't expected it to happen so soon, but she still insisted on her own thoughts and said casually, "I don't know. I don't have any dealings with those buyers."
In the early years, there was too much deforestation in their area and the environment was damaged. Many mushrooms that were common before are no longer seen. There are also few people picking mushrooms, and most of the mushrooms they pick are relatively cheap and common.
If Jiang Heng didn't have spiritual energy, which could induce growth when picking them at the beginning, and if she didn't use spiritual rain to nourish them later, she wouldn't be able to pick so many mushrooms now.
I don’t know which buyer came here.
The fast food restaurant owner, Sun Sanxi, froze in his smile, secretly annoyed at the man's lack of tact. He simply said, "Yesterday I asked a friend, and the prices there are on average 20 yuan lower than yours, especially the chicken mushrooms, which have dropped to just over 100 yuan. Boss Jiang, we've been working together for so long, do you think the prices should change?"
Jiang Heng shook his head. "I'm sorry, I picked all these mushrooms from the mountains. They're much better quality than regular mushrooms, so I can't lower the price."
Sun Sanxi was a little impatient: "No, how could you pick so much in the mountains? It would take a whole day to go back and forth. How can you still have time to set up a stall?"
Jiang Heng: “…”
How to explain her speed?
Then I won’t explain it anymore.
Sun Sanxi thought she agreed, and smiled kindly: "I know yours is of better quality, but it's about ten yuan more expensive than others. What do you think? I promise to order from you again in the future."
Jiang Heng refused again: "Boss, if you have a cheaper price, you can go to him. I don't bargain."
After saying that, he simply turned around.
Sun Sanxi was dumbfounded: "Hey you..."
But the man had already gotten on the tricycle and left.
He stamped his feet in frustration. What was wrong with this guy? Was he so greedy for such a small amount of money?
He returned to the store with a gloomy face. His wife saw him and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you agree?"
Sun Sanxi gritted his teeth and said, "That girl won't let go even if she dies!"
His wife hesitated and said, "Why not? Their restaurant is quite good. Didn't you eat there yesterday? The taste was a little worse after all."
The same variety of mushrooms is much cheaper, but the taste is different.
It's still delicious, but just not as good as this one.
Sun Sanxi was unwilling to accept the offer: "But this is too expensive. Her price is too high. The tea tree mushroom is only 40 yuan, but she wants 70. And the chicken mushroom is only 150 yuan, but she only wants 200 yuan. We are a small business, how can we afford such a price?"
His wife consoled him, "Actually, we've made quite a bit more money these past few days, and we have a lot more customers."
Sun Sanxi: "If it were cheaper, I could make more money."
As he spoke, he seemed to have made up his mind: "In fact, customers may not be able to taste such a subtle difference. Once this batch of mushrooms is used up, I will stop buying and try buying from that store. If it doesn't work, I'll go back and buy more."
His wife frowned, but she had no say in this matter.
*
A similar conversation also took place at Ge's Noodle House.
The noodle shop has been doing quite well lately, making a lot of money. The two of them are incredibly busy, but luckily they've been closing up shop early lately, generally around 6pm, so they can still manage. Seeing the Mushroom Beach owner arrive on time to deliver the goods, Ge Dongfang smiled warmly, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want some? I recently made a pickled pepper and mushroom meat sauce, and it's really popular."
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "I just came out after eating. You guys are busy, so I won't disturb you."
The goods delivered today include not only mushrooms, but also two kilograms of mulberries, two kilograms of crayfish, and a fish.
Having made some money, Ge Dongfang was willing to spend some. Seeing that the mulberries on Jiang Heng's stall were very popular, she bought some to try and found that... well, as expected, there was a reason for their popularity, even though they were expensive.
So they would buy two kilograms every other day.
Today I saw the previously well-received fish and the new crayfish, and I immediately decided to buy some to try.
Speaking of this, Ge Dongfang couldn't help but sigh that the food in her home was really good. She had been eating so much that she slept soundly these days. She was busy in the kitchen all day and smelled of oil smoke. Especially in the summer, her face was very oily. She felt her face was much refreshed in the past two days.
At this time, her husband came over and whispered, "Did you hear what I told you? There are people selling these mushrooms at the intersection ahead. The price is much cheaper."
Ge Dongfang was speechless: "Didn't I go and see it this afternoon? The quality is completely different."
The husband hesitated. "You can talk to Boss Jiang about lowering the price. Her current price is much higher than others. If the quality is good, it shouldn't be so high, right? If there are competitors, she might be willing to lower the price."
Ge Dongfang was a little tempted, but quickly shook her head: "If she really wanted to lower the price, she would have done it herself, didn't she? I didn't even ask her to give a discount, she saw that I wanted to place a long-term order, so she took the initiative to give a discount. If she didn't lower the price now, she must be unwilling to do so."
Of course, it was mainly because Ge Dongfang had a hunch that Jiang Heng's products were different. They were obviously all natural, and the mulberries tasted much better than those from other places. It was understandable that her prices were a bit higher.
At least those customers who often eat her food can definitely notice this subtle difference.
Therefore, Ge Dongfang was reluctant to ask her to lower the price, fearing that it would be seen that she did not like her things. She still remembered the last time the old lady returned the money. She said she would not sell it and she really would not sell it. Later, the old lady came again, but she still refused to give in.
If someone else were to run the business like this, the business would have failed long ago. It is said that harmony brings wealth, but she is not like that at all, but this just shows her confidence.
The husband stopped talking, frowned, and looked a little reluctant.
Ge Dongfang nudged him with her elbow: "What's wrong?"
"I'm really sad, right? The price is too high, and now is the season for mushrooms to grow, so everyone else is lowering their prices," the husband said helplessly, sighing, "If only the quality of other people's products could be as good as Boss Jiang's."
Ge Dongfang was amused. "Now that you put it that way, I think Boss Jiang is unlikely to lower the price. The quality is there, she has no shortage of customers, so naturally she won't lower the price."
husband:"……"
As we were talking, why did you start speaking up for the other person?
Ge Dongfang consoled him, "Okay, think about how much we've earned these past few days. Anyway, we haven't lost anything."
"That's true." The husband was convinced and stopped thinking about it. He reminded her, "Go back and rest first. You've been too tired these past few days."
Ge Dongfang yawned and picked up the crayfish and fish. "Indeed, I'll be leaving first. Come back when you've made the chicken mushrooms. We don't need to wait any longer."
"knew."
——
In addition to the fast food restaurant, there were two other restaurants behind that wanted to test whether Jiang Heng's prices could be lowered a little more.
Jiang Heng politely declined.
The other party didn't threaten her like the fast food restaurant owner did, and naturally accepted her decision not to lower the price.
It's like trying to get something for nothing.
When Jiang Heng arrived at the stall, he knew the reason.
The enthusiastic classmate Song Ming took advantage of his free time to come over and tell her, "There's a new mushroom stall at the intersection I came across today. They have everything you have, and even more!"
Then Gougou glanced around furtively, and after confirming that there were no other customers, he whispered, "The prices are a bit lower too. The torch chicken mushrooms are only 150 yuan per pound, and the bone ones are 180 yuan. A lot of people are buying them."
There were also customers who lowered Jiang Heng's price.
Song Ming was very angry and secretly criticized him: "I asked my mother to pass by and take a look. She said that the mushrooms are not as good as yours!"
"puff!"
Song Ming was a little cute like this. Jiang Heng smiled, then quickly said seriously, "Well, I know. When it comes to quality, mine is definitely the best!"
Song Ming didn't expect her to be so confident. For a moment, he couldn't say anything to comfort her. But he was relieved and said with a smile: "You're right, we're not afraid! Those who have eaten it know our quality."
After just a few words, the guests arrived.
Song Ming immediately took his things back, including mushrooms, fish, and the crayfish that Jiang Heng had given him. However, the crayfish were a little lively, so he left them with Jiang Heng for the time being and would take them back when he was about to leave.
"Eh?" Zhang Yan was the first customer to come over. As she approached, she looked at the two baskets of fish that had not yet been taken down with surprise: "There are fish again today!"
That fish last time... well, it was a mixture of love and fear. The fish was delicious, but the killing process was so difficult. God knows, the fish was still alive after a night! She and her boyfriend struggled for a while before finally killing the fish. Then they learned how to scale and gut it, which took a long time. Of course, even with such a random operation, the crucian carp soup was still so delicious that she wanted to just drink the soup to fill herself up!
So much so that she really wanted to buy the fish but was afraid to do so.
Jiang Heng: "Yes, it will continue for the next few days."
She took out the two boxes from the innermost part and said in a charming and smiling voice, "We have crayfish too. Would you like some?"
Zhang Yan: “!”
Her eyes really widened this time.
"Wow! They're so big!"
Each one was as big as her palm, with its big claws waving, looking very fierce, and of course, super delicious.
Jiang Heng nodded decisively: "I picked out the big ones on purpose, and put the small ones back."
The crayfish here are divided into two categories. One is the one with black and red shells. They are very big, but not easy to chew. Jiang Heng doesn't like this kind of crayfish, so she has three baskets of them. The other is the big prawns, which are only slightly smaller than the former, but the shells are not as hard. They are commonly used in restaurants to make braised prawns. There is only one basket of them because she kept the rest.
Start eating slowly tomorrow!
Zhang Yan was tempted. She originally wanted to buy mushrooms, but then she saw the fish and wanted to buy fish. Now she wants to buy crayfish. Oh my God, she doesn’t have that much money!
Oh, and the price...
Just about to ask.
Jiang Heng had already put up the price list and explained, "This black and red shrimp has a hard shell and is not easy to chew, so it's 41 pounds. This one is a little smaller, but it's just as meaty and easier to eat, so it's 51 pounds."
The price was also set because Jiang Heng doesn't like it, so the price of the former was reduced by ten yuan, so that it should sell faster.
Solve it sooner rather than later.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Boss, is that how you set the price? You're doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing. Isn't that too arbitrary?"
Jiang Heng winked at her: "Otherwise why would it be a street stall?"
Zhang Yan: ...That makes sense!
She was still a little hesitant, so she simply stepped aside and let the next person buy first. Then she looked at the fish and then at the shrimp. However, when the next customer came up and saw the crayfish, his eyes lit up at first, but then he saw the price and darkened again. With a painful look on his face, he asked Jiang Heng to pack two pounds: "Only two pounds, let me try it."
"Okay." Jiang Heng specially took a smaller plastic bucket and placed it on the electronic scale. She used a net bag to scoop two kilograms into the plastic bucket to weigh it. After weighing, she poured it directly into the plastic bag and put an extra layer on it. Now the business is on the right track. She bought the plastic bags directly online. The quality is very good, but the crayfish claws are a bit strong. She was afraid that they would be pinched and broken in the middle of the process, which would be bad for the customers.
Just as it was finished, the customer immediately said, "Another bream, mushrooms, and mulberries..."
Zhang Yan: ...I thought she was someone just like her, but I didn’t expect her to be a rich woman!
Look at how distressed he is but how quickly he orders. It's really enviable.
Jiang Heng was also a little surprised. She remembered this customer; he had never bought so much in previous visits. Seeing the portion was quite large, she asked, "Are you celebrating something?"
The customer nodded immediately and chuckled, "Yes, boss, I'm broke eating your food every day. Three thousand a month is simply not enough. No matter how much I save, it's still not enough. In the midst of this painful struggle, I finally realized something!"
Jiang Heng, Zhang Yan and the guests who came over from behind all looked over.
There are also cheerful people who ask: "What?!"
"Pain is the cradle of literature!" the guest said with a serious expression.
Everyone was puzzled: "Ah? You became a writer?"
"Earned royalties?!"
The guest couldn't suppress the smile on his face when he thought about it, and laughed out loud as those around him speculated: "Hahahaha, you got it right! I just made up a little story on a certain website. It's over 10,000 words, and a lot of people liked it. I made hundreds of dollars! Shouldn't I celebrate this?"
Everyone: “Wow!”
“Amazing!”
“I really became a writer!”
"I'm also suffering from poverty, so why haven't I realized it? It's so pitiful~"
Zhang Yan: “…Is this even possible?!”
The customer happily shook his head and said, "Hehe~ Of course! Otherwise, with my 3,000 yuan salary, I can't save any money unless I skip food and drink."
As she was talking, Jiang Heng had just packed up what she wanted and handed it to her. The customer paid and walked back briskly. She had bought some delicious food, as her friends were about to arrive, and there had to be a lot of people to eat so many delicious foods!
It was Zhang Yan's turn. This time she gritted her teeth and said, "Boss, two pounds of crayfish, and some of this and this mushroom..."
Never mind.
Buy food first, saving money is not an option, the only option is to increase revenue!
She will fight when she gets back!
Oh, and I have to bring my boyfriend along to fight this.
He's been eating better lately and his mentality has calmed down, but his career is still not going well. How can this be okay? ! ! !
