Chapter 24 Selling Goods (Part 1)
Maybe it is human nature to pursue light.
With this little bit of light, the uneasy feeling was somewhat dissipated.
Shi Qingqing had a pocket dagger hidden in her sleeve. She looked around with a flashlight in her hand, her mind busy as she wondered how to explain the disappearance of these things.
When Zhao Fengnian hurried back, he saw that Shi Qingqing was the only one at the original place.
He was dumbfounded. Where were so many big crabs?
Shi Qingqing looked calm: "They have all been taken away. Let's go back. We still need to deal with these crabs and let them live as long as possible."
Fortunately, the weather is not hot now, otherwise even if we take measures, we may not be able to protect them.
As for ways to extend the survival time of swimming crabs as much as possible, Chen Qinglong also provided them.
Tie the swimming crab with a rope and put it in a basin, add clean water, and the water level should cover half of the swimming crab's body. This will meet its need for water and will not cause death from lack of oxygen.
Or you can place the swimming crab in an environment of about 20℃ and pour water on it when its body is dry. It can survive for about 7 days. The temperature of this month is similar, so you don't need to survive for seven days, but two or three days is probably enough.
Put some moist aquatic plants and vegetable leaves in a basin without water, and then put the swimming crab in it. This will also allow it to survive for a while.
I guess this last point won't be useful.
On the way back, the two discussed a solution. After returning home, Zhao Fengnian went straight to work. Shi Qingqing placed a flashlight in the yard, pulled the light bulb to the outside wall, and fixed the wires with nails.
Candles were used for temporary lighting in the house.
While Zhao Fengnian was working, Shi Qingqing closed the door and placed orders in the room.
It is estimated that about half of the money can be recovered from the remaining crabs, and the other half will have to be filled with other things.
At present, all she knows about are those things without labels and instant noodles. After buying them, the information on the packaging boxes is no different from that of ordinary instant noodles.
Otherwise, are you really doing the instant noodle business?
No, there must be things that sell faster, that everyone needs, and that can be sold in large quantities.
It’s best to earn about half.
Rice, flour, grain and oil.
For rice, the first purchase of rice she made got 4 points for every 10 jin, equivalent to 0.4 points for every jin.
But if you buy rice in bulk from the convenience store, the same quality and taste as the one she buys from the mall costs 70 cents per pound.
Shi Qingqing took note that if she could buy 1,000 kilograms of rice with 400 points and sell it at 60 cents per kilogram, the rice should sell quickly and she would get her money back once all the rice was sold out.
"I'll take some of the seafood I brought back to keep as a thank you to the people who lent me the money, and I'll just have to get back 100 or 200 from the rest." First make back the money, then earn some money for expenses, and we'll worry about the rest later.
The money has to be paid back quickly.
Shi Qingqing immediately went to buy some rice and a few boxes of instant noodles. She originally just wanted to buy some good wine and tea to thank her uncle, but when she was scrolling, she saw today's special sale.
One point for every kilogram of fruit candy, available in eight mixed flavors.
Shi Qingqing recalled that a friend once said that he went to a large shopping mall to see the world and saw that people there actually used a piece of candy as a dime.
There are nearly 200 of these knuckle-sized candies in one kilogram. Even if she sells five for 10 cents, she can still make 30 to 40 yuan.
Shi Qingqing immediately placed an order for ten kilograms!
This time she swiped to look for special sales, and found another good thing, bulk white wine, a barrel of ten kilograms, twenty points.
Wine.
This price doesn't seem to be very different from reality.
But why is it a special sale?
A line of small words was found on the result page: the taste of Wuliangye is similar.
Shi Qingqing bought a bucket first, poured it out and took a sip a little at a time.
Well, she couldn't drink it.
Then there was a cup next to Zhao Fengnian's mouth, filled with the aroma of wine.
"Take a sip and see if it's a good wine."
Zhao Fengnian held the edge of the cup and took a sip.
After drinking it, he smacked his lips and said, "Is it good wine, the one that costs five dollars a bottle?"
An ordinary bottle of wine weighs about one pound and can be sold for five yuan. If she prices it at three yuan per pound and then adds a gimmick, can it be sold?
Forget it, just test the waters and buy two buckets.
After paying for the items, the 450 points were gone.
Make money first, then talk about other things.
After Shi Qingqing bought the things, she went out to work with the others to catch these swimming crabs. They were so excited that they were still planning tomorrow's "business" after midnight.
When Shi Qingqing woke up the next day, the first thing she did was to get out of bed and check the crabs. Two of them were dead, and there were more than a dozen that were half dead. She could only confirm that they were not dead by the slight movement of their shells.
The big crab with a broken claw was still standing strong and alive.
Shi Qingqing threw the dead ones aside, washed and processed a dozen half-dead ones and those with broken claws, and put them into the steamer, placing two slices of ginger on their bellies.
The fire was turned on high. Shi Qingqing glanced at the time, quickly got dressed and washed up, and woke up Zhao Fengnian at the same time.
Zhao Fengnian got up once in the middle of the night to look at the crabs, and now he could hardly open his eyelids.
But the aroma lingering around his nose made him sit up slowly. "Honey, what do you want for breakfast?"
"Big crab."
Um? ?
Zhao Fengnian's eyelids suddenly opened.
Eat crabs early in the morning?
Is this true or false?
The answer is true.
The steamed swimming crab has more tender meat and a more delicate taste. Dip it in a little ginger vinegar juice and you can taste the original flavor of the swimming crab.
In addition to steaming, swimming crabs can also be braised, stir-fried with spicy sauce, or used to stew tofu, but Shi Qingqing obviously didn't have the leisure time for this at the moment.
Crabs are eaten for their flavor. Shi Qingqing rummaged through the drawers at home and bought three baskets of steamed dumplings and two servings of flat meat. The two of them ate the crabs until their stomachs were full and their mouths were filled with delicious food.
"You go sell the crabs, I'll go get the money and look for other odd jobs. Big crabs are 80 cents, small crabs are 30 cents, you sell them according to this. If someone bargains, you can say it's already very cheap, they just arrived in the early morning.
By the way, here’s five yuan for a bowl of noodles at the market at noon, and come back at seven in the evening, whether they’re all sold out or not.”
After helping Zhao Fengnian find a stall to squat down, Shi Qingqing took a detour to her uncle's house.
In his hands, he carried candy, rice, a basket of eggs, and some larger crabs that he had selected in advance.
The aunt had been looking at Shi Qingqing with droopy eyelids as she walked in with a smile, but when she saw these things, her brows relaxed a little.
“Is this making money?”
Shi Qingqing handed all the things to her aunt and explained her purpose. "Uncle, can you lend me your cart for a while? I'll return it to you in the evening and bring the money with me in the evening."
Before Uncle Shi could say anything, Auntie was the first to agree. She quickly went to push the cart and brought the things she had gotten to the kitchen.
"You came here in a hurry to borrow money yesterday, and you can pay it back today? I'm not in a hurry to get your money, so keep it for yourself first, and don't go to the vegetable market to pick up vegetables again."
Shi Qingqing thought to herself, someone must have sent a message to frame her.
"I didn't pick up the leaves, uncle. I went there with someone else. She raised chickens and ducks, and I picked up the leaves for them to eat."
Uncle Shi paused.
He really thought Shi Qingqing was so pitiful that she had to pick up rotten vegetable leaves to eat.
