Chapter 120 Foreign Merchants
The businessman who came to Shen Qingyue to negotiate business was passing by Siyun County.
Driving on the street, I could smell a strange fragrance.
He was a well-traveled businessman and had been to many places, but he had never smelled such a fragrance.
I parked the car on the side of the road and had a bowl of spicy hot pot cooked on the roadside. I was stunned by the delicious food.
Spicy, sour and sweet, crispy bean sprouts and potato chips and various vegetables, soft corn noodles, and mixed with thick sauce, I feel full after eating a bowl.
But the overbearing aroma of the spicy hotpot still made him feel unsatisfied, so he ordered another bowl even though he was full.
Then I started to inquire with these people in the county!
The people in Siyun County are also enthusiastic.
He also said that he was a week late, and the previous steel plant barbecue festival was the real food gathering.
It made him, a 1.8-meter-tall man, extremely greedy.
Now he directly rented a small room in the guesthouse and lived there, and went to the state-owned factory to eat every day.
He realized something was wrong as soon as he took a bite.
The special window of the state-owned factory actually uses the method of making private dishes, making big pot meals, three dishes for 50 cents, which is just like doing charity.
He has eaten there for several meals in a row, and every dish has been delicious.
Now he had to find Shen Qingyue no matter what. He also wanted to wholesale some spicy hot pot to take back. His business was quite big and he was nicknamed Boss Shi.
There are four grocery stores and they also have their own restaurants.
Anyway, I was impressed by Shen Qingyue's craftsmanship and wanted to reach a cooperation. I traveled thousands of miles to find Shen Qingyue's village to discuss the purchase of goods in detail.
Shen Qingyue said: "The shelf life of spicy hot pot dumplings is only one day, there is really nothing we can do!"
Recently, some businessmen from other places like Mr. Shi have come here to eat. It is generally recognized that Malatang is delicious.
Even cooking spicy hot pot can earn more in a month than working as an employee. It is hard to find such a good business even with a lantern.
It’s hard for everyone not to be moved.
But even if you are tempted, you can't do anything about it. If the warranty is short, it will be annoying. If you can't open the sales channel, the washed and soaked vegetables and noodles will go to waste.
"Unless?" Shen Qingyue swallowed it again. Such words were too troublesome.
Boss Shi originally thought that there would be no follow-up to this matter, but when he heard that Shen Qingyue seemed to have a solution, how could he sit still?
"Unless what?"
Shen Qingyue said, "Unless you prepare the vegetables and noodles yourself, there are only about twenty kinds in total. You can buy them at the vegetable market, and they are not difficult to cook. Just get the ingredients from me. If it's just the spice packets, they can be kept for seven days after being soaked in oil."
"Oh, I see." Boss Shi was a little tempted. But after asking about the price, he found out that a thousand bags of material would only cost 30 cents wholesale. It wasn't cheap.
Shen Qingyue said considerately, "You can go back and think about this. See if you can open it."
Boss Shi immediately came to his senses and said, "Actually, it doesn't make any difference. It would be better if the shelf life was longer."
Shen Qingyue said: "That's it for now!"
Boss Shi had no choice but to go back first. It was not easy to come here specially, and he took a detour before.
Fortunately, Shen Qingyue was famous and someone pointed her in the right direction, otherwise she would have never found it.
Boss Shi knew there was a good cook here, so since he was here, he acted pitifully: "I came here specially. I didn't even eat on the way."
Shen Qingyue said: "How about you take two steamed buns with you to eat in the car."
Boss Shi didn't feel neglected at all. Instead, he took the two and ate them.
Sure enough, he knew this was no ordinary steamed bun.
It tastes sweet with a unique flavor of wild vegetables, and you can't find this flavor anywhere else.
Shen Qingyue said, "It's also for the sake of freshness. We won't be able to eat such fresh wild vegetables next month." She prefers this.
The 600-liter freezer at home is almost full, filled with more than 8,000 steamed buns. I think a month of hard work picking is enough to eat for a year!
The steamed buns made by fat chef Chen Huai are praised by even the villagers who have been eating wild vegetables since childhood. It is no problem for him to conquer a city dweller.
Good job.
Boss Shi refused to leave and insisted on buying some steamed buns.
He also said: "It's not easy for me to come here this time, you can't let me go back empty-handed." Although the spicy hot pot was not negotiated. But this steamed bun is not an ordinary thing!
Shen Qingyue said: "If you want to eat it yourself, it's okay to take ten more for you."
She doesn't plan to sell it, so it's hard to estimate the price.
Boss Shi said, "The big meat buns in our century-old shop are fifty cents each. I'll give you fifty cents too. I want three hundred of them. Give me some."
This price is the highest. It is because he loves it that he pays such a high price.
Shen Qingyue said, "Okay." She collected 150 yuan and picked up 300 of them. She also gave him 10 as a bonus!
Boss Shi thanked him profusely and happily took the steamed buns back to the city.
As soon as he left, Shen Qingyue said, "It's a pity that the spicy hot pot has a short shelf life."
He Zhengchen came over to scoop up the sour plum soup. Upon hearing this, he said, "It's not that there is no solution."
Shen Qingyue looked over.
He Zhengchen said: "Have you ever thought about building a factory, like making instant noodles?"
Shen Qingyue was startled.
He Zhengchen continued, "If we had a brand, Malatang would definitely be sold to more places."
As the boss who makes spicy hot pot dumplings, he knows better than anyone how popular spicy hot pot is.
Now it has increased from 60,000 bags to 80,000 bags, but there is still a shortage of supply every day.
This small county has such strong purchasing power, what about the urban area, the provincial capital, and the whole country?
Shen Qingyue didn't expect He Zhengchen to be so ambitious.
But to be honest, she was also a little moved.
In 1985, the market was in turmoil, and anyone who entered the business circle could quickly break out. This was a huge opportunity before her.
Shen Qingyue's heart began to pound. She pressed her hand against her chest and then looked at He Zhengchen seriously.
His eyebrows and eyes were quite handsome, and he was indeed a very capable person. Even she couldn't help but be inspired by him.
Shen Qingyue said: "I don't have such a large amount of capital to build a factory now."
Because she had worked in a steel mill, she understood how much financial resources were needed to run it with so many people, and how much support was needed from all aspects.
It's not something she can achieve just by trying hard.
He Zhengchen's eyes were filled with surprise: "Don't you want to?"
"I really want to, but my ancestors have all been farmers, and the words 'down-to-earth' seem to be ingrained in my mind. They remind me all the time not to be reckless," Shen Qingyue said.
He Zhengchen said, "That makes sense. If you take steady steps, you might even be able to become well-off. But if you rush into things too quickly, you'll lose everything."
He Zhengchen has been here for so long, but this is the first time he has opened his heart to her.
It was very special that she could say this, and He Zhengchen felt trusted.
