Chapter 99 Ordering a large amount of food
The first thing Shen Qingyue did when she got home was to call Old Yu, the seafood seller, and order a thousand kilograms of prawns on the 7th.
But I have to wait until the 8th to settle the payment.
Old Yu readily agreed. Shen Qingyue's business was related to the steel mill, so he wouldn't be short of the thousand yuan he was paying for!
But I asked cautiously on the phone: "Why buy so much?"
"Barbecue Festival." Shen Qingyue said, "Someone should have ordered seafood from you during this period. But please don't give my share to others."
Old Yu said, "That can't be done. We'll give it to whoever orders first. Then do you still want the other clams or something?"
He raises snails, oncomelanias and clams casually at home.
This thing has no meat, so only a few people are looking for it, but Shen Qingyue has been buying it like crazy these days. This has led him to expand the scale and specialize in raising snails.
Shen Qingyue said: "Just prepare 300 kilograms of each for me."
"Okay." Old Yu agreed readily and planned to go out to count the goods first.
It turned out to be just as Shen Qingyue had said. Soon, the phone started ringing non-stop, with requests for seafood. They were all asking for at least several dozen kilograms, and most of them were for fish.
Old Yu was very happy. He was having such good luck today.
At this rate, the reservoir will really be flooded.
Otherwise, his ponds would not be enough to sell.
Shen Qingyue also went to Xiao Liu's place.
Xiao Liu said, "Sister, I'm saving these intestines for you."
Nowadays, many people eat pig intestines, and the retail price of pig intestines has also risen sharply.
But he would rather earn less and save it for Shen Qingyue than sell it to retail investors.
Individuals can only buy it at the butcher's stall. I heard that pig intestines are more expensive than meat now. It's been years since I've seen such a strange sight!
"Sister, what do you want this time?"
Xiao Liu said that in terms of age he was older than Shen Qingyue, but businessmen liked to call her that to show respect.
Shen Qingyue said, "How much beef can we get like last time? Ribs, top, tenderloin, and butter!"
Xiao Liu asked, "How much do you want?"
Shen Qingyue said: "We need 10,000 jin, and another 3,000 jin."
Xiao Liu was horrified. "The beef I got you is from Inner Mongolia. The kind with little marbling on the ribs. The best beef is three yuan a pound. The local old yellow cattle, the meat is so hard to chew, it's one yuan a pound."
Shen Qingyue said: "I want the good ones like last time!"
The roasted beef has a natural milky flavor and is delicious.
Use a higher fire to roast the meat for a nice burnt aroma, and use a lower fire to lock in the meat juice.
The success of these barbecues is half due to the beef.
After hearing what she said, Xiao Liu was a little at a loss for a moment.
For example, they can sell enough beef for seven days once they import it.
If it's not sold out and frozen, the price will be greatly discounted. This thing is expensive.
Xiao Liu did a rough calculation and found that 10,000 kilograms of beef would cost 30,000 yuan. If he kept another 3,000 kilograms in reserve for emergencies, that would be 40,000 yuan worth of goods.
Xiao Liu had never done such a large-scale business. He said directly, "Sister, how about I ask the deputy station chief for you?"
Shen Qingyue nodded.
After a while, Xiao Liu said, "Sister, come to the office and talk."
When they arrived at the office, the deputy stationmaster said, "Miss Shen, your request is too high. Fourteen thousand kilograms of goods, and you want the best ones. This kind of black cattle is expensive. We will give you all the lean meat. It will be difficult for us to arrange the rest."
Xiao Liu got anxious when he heard this: "Deputy Station Master."
This is his big client. What if the conversation goes wrong?
Shen Qingyue has a car, what should she do if she runs out of gas and goes to the city to buy something?
The deputy station chief glared at Xiao Liu: "You're so impatient."
The deputy stationmaster then put on a smile and said, "Miss Shen, how about this? I'll give you a whole bag of beef and tendon for two dollars and a half. I guarantee there won't be any bones!"
The deputy stationmaster sighed and said, "To be honest, I only make ten cents from this pound of meat. After deducting wages and other expenses, there's nothing left."
Shen Qingyue calculated that a whole piece of beef would also be fine, as each had its own uses.
What's more, they gave me a discount. She said, "Then I want 12,000 kilograms of pure meat, and I need 4,000 kilograms of meat." It still costs about 30,000, and I need 10,000 kilograms of meat.
The deputy stationmaster said, "Okay, but you have to pay a deposit, half of it."
That’s a deposit of 15,000 yuan.
Shen Qingyue had saved 10,000 yuan in the past three or four days. She said, "I'll give you a 10,000 yuan deposit first."
Seeing that his nephew Xiao Liu was about to cry, the deputy stationmaster didn't dare to make things difficult for Shen Qingyue and said, "Okay." He agreed readily.
The deputy stationmaster asked, "How did you get so many?"
Shen Qingyue said: "We're going to have a barbecue festival."
The deputy stationmaster had heard this news a long time ago. Last time, Shen Qingyue asked for 3,000 kilograms of meat. Unexpectedly, this time, it would be four times as much.
Xiao Liu went out to see the guests off.
The deputy stationmaster thought about it thoughtfully, and when Xiao Liu came back, he wanted to talk to his second uncle and told him that he shouldn't speak to his "sister" like that.
I just happened to hear the deputy stationmaster ordering black beef, and he directly asked for 20,000 kilograms of meat.
That is to say, in addition to what Shen Qingyue was sure to want, there were still eight thousand kilograms left.
This black beef is not cheap. Xiao Liu was so scared that he couldn't even speak clearly.
“There are so many, what should we do if we can’t sell them?”
The deputy stationmaster couldn't help but say, "You, you've met Shen Qingyue for nothing. When did I expect to miss her?"
He recently looked through the account books and found that Shen Qingyue's meat orders had been increasing from the time she first started selling lunch boxes until now. This showed that she was a calculating person.
The deputy webmaster couldn't help but look at Xiao Liu angrily: "You still call me sister all the time. You can't even understand all the information. You are nothing..."
Xiao Liu muttered, "Since you trust Shen Qingyue, you even asked for a 10,000 yuan deposit."
The deputy stationmaster raised the pen ink on the table and was about to throw it over.
Xiao Liu was so scared that he kept blocking with his hands!
Of course, the deputy stationmaster faked it. He didn't actually smash the thing, but simply said, "Get lost! I'm getting mad at you. You're only fit to be a small employee."
Xiao Liu snorted in dissatisfaction and then went out.
With this big order, he can get a salary of over 400 this month. Thinking about it carefully, I am a little excited.
