So she has to sell bean curd sheets at a price almost as high as meat, otherwise the labor cost will be too high.
At least it is still a rare thing now, and only rich people eat it. If we don’t make money from it, who else will?
Xiangnan only brought Li You to the county town this time, while Huo Qing and the others were going to sell cakes.
We didn't let them take the braised dishes out to sell because the weather was too hot and the braised dishes would easily spoil if left outside to dry.
Even if you put it in a foam box, it will become stale. It’s better to just sell cakes.
The cake business is pretty good for the time being.
She brought Li You to the county town because she wanted Li You to run more around in the county town in the future.
Li You is good-looking, smart, ruthless and fearless, so he should be able to run away.
Even though it only takes more than two hours to ride a bicycle from Daxiang Village to the county, even these two hours will make your butt hurt.
Xiangnan had never suffered such hardship, but in this era, some hardship was inevitable.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, before they even parked the car, Xia Wanshu rushed out like a butterfly: "You're here! Oh, those braised garlic shoots are selling really well!
At first, Uncle Zhang made a small plate for them to taste for free, but they wanted more after they finished it.
Uncle Zhang sells it at a very high price. You guys are paying fifty cents a bottle, but he sells it for one yuan."
He made double the profit, and Uncle Zhang is now really craving this braised garlic shoots.
Of course, they are not really interested in the fifty cents, but the braised garlic shoots make the leaders happy, and when they are happy, they have an appetite, and when they have an appetite, the treatment in the state-owned restaurant will be better.
Xia Wanshu stared at Xiangnan's basket as she spoke. This beautiful sister said she would bring her more delicious cakes.
Xiangnan certainly understood what she was thinking and immediately brought her two large cakes: "Delicious cakes, with milk and raisins in them."
Xia Wanshu held the two large cakes as if he had obtained some treasure: "Come in quickly, Uncle Zhang is waiting for you to deliver the goods. The garlic cakes were sold out yesterday afternoon.
There were two waves of customers coming for breakfast this morning. They were still talking about garlic sprouts while eating their meat buns. I have to go back to work now."
It’s not time for dinner yet, so not many people are eating. Go south and run to the back.
Uncle Zhang saw her coming and said quickly, "Finally you're here. We just sold out of the braised garlic shoots. How many did you bring today? Did you bring some more?"
"I brought thirty kilograms, which should be enough to last for a while. I also brought something else, try it."
Xiangnan asked Li You to move the braised garlic shoots into their back kitchen, and he took out a glass bottle of braised bean curd sheets and handed it to Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang took a look and asked in surprise, "Is this yuba?"
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang is very knowledgeable. He knows about this thing."
"My brother-in-law brought back some when he went to Jinghai last time. It tasted quite good when fried. I didn't expect you to make this?" Uncle Zhang was very surprised.
My brother-in-law brought it back from Jinghai. He said it was very expensive, more expensive than meat. It tasted quite good, but he didn't think it was necessarily better than meat.
But rich people think differently. My brother-in-law said that it sells very well in Jinghai, but not everyone can buy it. It is a rare item.
"Yes, this thing is not difficult to make. This is braised bean curd sticks, which should be better than Uncle Zhang's fried ones. You should try it."
Uncle Zhang happily opened the glass bottle. Uncle Zhang really liked listening to Xiangnan talk. She didn't sound like a country girl and her voice was more pleasant than many scholars.
I will also use it to show my special respect for you.
Uncle Zhang took two bites and praised, "Oh, this is really delicious, even better than the braised garlic shoots. If I serve it as a cold dish first, it will definitely sell well.
Xiangnan, how much do you want for this? It's not cheap, is it?
"It's one yuan per pound, the same price as meat. If it's braised, add three cents. It's really hard to make, mainly because it requires a lot of labor. You can't make much in a day, so it's expensive."
"Okay, this price is fine. Bring as much as you can." Uncle Zhang agreed immediately.
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, I will sell the braised bean curd sheets here and not sell them anywhere else, but I can't just sell the dried bean curd sheets here.
You don't need such a large quantity of dried yuba."
Dried bean curd sheets can be kept for a long time, so she can produce and sell them in large quantities. Now it is her own business, so she must take advantage of the present time to produce and sell more and make her first pot of gold from bean curd sheets.
The consumption of state-owned restaurants cannot be very large, and they certainly cannot have a monopoly on the business.
Uncle Zhang also understood this and nodded, saying, "I have a relative who opened a store in a large vegetable market. You can go there and ask. They should be willing to accept it."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhang for the idea. Take these two bottles and enjoy them yourself. And this cake is made with milk and grapes. You can't buy it anywhere else. I made it especially for you."
Uncle Zhang accepted the gift without hesitation. His wife loved the cake, which was not available anywhere else.
Xiangnan left ten pounds of braised bean curd skin and thirty pounds of braised garlic shoots, and Uncle Zhang paid for them all readily.
She took the remaining bean curd sheets to the vegetable market, which was a large market newly built in An County this year.
There are stalls and small shops, as well as large shops outside the vegetable market.
The new market was still quite empty.
An County wants to develop a market economy, but the people of An County have not yet caught up with the trend.
This is a good opportunity for her.
Xiangnan said to Li You, "If I had money, I'd like to rent all these storefronts. This place will be booming in no time."
Scattered transactions will be rectified sooner or later and the market will be unified.
There is no one renting in the market now because the transactions outside have not been properly organized.
It’s useless for Xiang Nanguang to know, she has no money!
"Sister, you rent so many storefronts, how do you have time to manage them? There are so many of them, but not so many things to sell." Li You said in confusion.
Xiangnan smiled and said, "No one is renting it now, so the rent must be cheap. I'll rent it out, and when the market picks up, I'll rent it out to someone else and make a profit from the difference. That's what a landlady is."
Li You's eyes widened: "Sister, so this is how you can play it, sister, how are you so smart!"
"If you have relatives in the county town, you can ask them to rent one or two storefronts here. It seems unprofitable now, but I estimate that when it becomes more popular, it will start to make money."
It’s hot this year, and it will get even hotter in the near future. No one wants to do business under the scorching sun.
At that time, the role of this big market will be reflected.
In addition, with the county's crackdown on the black market, many people are unwilling to hide and naturally turn to the vegetable market.
