Chapter 356 Caravan Orders and Advice
"How can I not be interested?"
Chen Dangjia briefly recounted what they had missed last time. "I heard that drinking your wine regularly can improve your health and enhance your beauty."
They have verified this point. Not to mention long-term drinking, even after drinking it for a few days, they can clearly feel that they are in better spirits, and some hidden illnesses in the body seem to have eased a lot. This is one of the reasons why he came here in a hurry. From the beginning of the cooperation in selling glass to Snowflake Salt Sorghum Wine, they have made a lot of money. In any case, he is unwilling to miss out on the wine that can obviously make a lot of money.
“It does have this effect.”
Chen Xiangwan did not deny that drinking sorghum wine for a long time can actually strengthen the body. After all, all the sorghum used in winemaking now comes from the space. However, sorghum wine is too strong, and only men like it. Moreover, if they don't drink much, the effect will not be so obvious. Wine is different. Men, women, young and old can all drink it. It doesn't matter if you drink a few more glasses, and the effect will naturally be highlighted.
"I'd like to purchase 20,000 bottles. Does Madam Wei have that much in stock? Will she also give away glass wine glasses?"
Logically, he should have asked if the price could be lowered, but he didn't ask because he knew how popular the wine was. It was good enough that Mrs. Wei could sell it to him, and it was unlikely that she would lower the price. The cooperation between them had always been friendly, and he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness because of that little money.
"Um···"
Shen Xiangwan didn't respond immediately, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table. After a while, she said, "No problem. I can give you 20,000 bottles and give you the glass wine glasses as well. But the price won't be less. Wine is not like sorghum wine. It costs a lot, and with the glass wine glasses as a gift, my profit won't be much."
Ninety-nine percent profit is indeed not a lot, and only Shen Xiangwan can say this so calmly.
"It's natural."
Chen, who had anticipated this, smiled and nodded. After a moment's thought, he continued, "Can we take all the wine with us today?"
"certainly."
Shen Xiangwan gave an affirmative answer. There were still 40,000 bottles of wine in the warehouse. Since he had agreed to sell it to others, there was no need to be stingy.
"good."
This time, Chen Dangjia smiled very happily: "Also, I want 50,000 kilograms of sorghum, and I hope we can take it away together later."
"Fifty thousand pounds!"
This is no small amount.
Shen Xiangwan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: “Okay, I’ll give it all to you this time. Thank you, Mr. Chen, for always taking care of our business.”
"Thank you, Madam Wei."
Unexpectedly, it would go so smoothly. Chen Dangjia quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "This is the payment for the purchase of wine and sorghum liquor. Madam Wei, please count it."
"good."
Taking the banknote, Shen Xiangwan flipped through it briefly before putting it away. "The amount is correct. I wonder when Mr. Chen's men will come to move the wine? I can also have someone wait in the warehouse."
"About half an hour later."
With that, Chen Dangjia stood up and said, "I still have to make some arrangements, so I won't disturb Madam Wei."
"Master Chen, take care!"
Chen Xiangwan also stood up and personally sent him to the door. Unexpectedly, they met Zhao Dashan who came to look for Chen Xiangwan. Chen Dangjia asked about the reason why the sausages and bacon could be shipped again. After getting a rough answer, he climbed into the carriage and left.
"Uncle Zhao, didn't I hear that some of the pigs in the village have grown fat? They should be ready to be slaughtered, right?"
Taking Zhao Dashan into the small study, Shen Xiangwan asked doubtfully, when they first started raising pigs last year, some more conservative families did not raise many. Later, seeing that their pigs were growing rapidly, many families who worked in the workshops and made money gradually bought a lot of piglets, and those piglets have now grown into big fat pigs.
"That's why I came to you."
Speaking of this, Zhao Dashan couldn't help but sigh. "Recently, many villagers have come to me, saying that their pigs have fattened up and asked if we could reopen the pork processing workshop to buy them. I counted them and there are almost a thousand of them. But now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Sausages and bacon are still easy to sell, but offal and bones can't be sold so quickly. Wouldn't it be a pity if they rot?"
This was also the reason why he was reluctant to slaughter the pigs. Moreover, in a month or two, all the pigs they raised would be slaughtered, the weather would be even hotter, and the offal and bones would be even more difficult to deal with. He racked his brains but had no idea what to do.
"Uncle Zhao, have you ever thought about cooperating with restaurants and food stalls?"
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Xiangwan asked tentatively.
"ah?"
Looking for cooperation with restaurants and food service establishments? How to cooperate?
Zhao Dashan looked bewildered, and it was clear he hadn't considered that at all. Shen Xiangwan shook her head helplessly, "Uncle Zhao, why don't you have your eloquent young men go to various restaurants in the county and offer them the recipes for braised offal and pork ribs in soy sauce for free. The condition is that they must buy your offal and pork ribs. As long as you sign a good contract and set a high penalty for breach of contract, you won't have to worry about them demolishing the bridge after crossing the river. You can also have people from other counties bring their prepared braised offal and pork ribs in soy sauce. It shouldn't be difficult to negotiate a cooperation agreement. That way, even if you kill a lot of pigs every day, you won't have to worry about the offal and bones spoiling."
Moreover, they no longer need to send people out to set up stalls, which can save a lot of manpower. Of course, this premise must be based on the fact that the county governments of various counties are able to give their support. Only in this way can the contract they sign truly play a binding role. But there is no need to worry about this. As far as she knows, their imperial envoys have arrived in the provincial capital, and the county magistrates of various counties will soon be replaced by their people.
"Can this be allowed? Wouldn't we have to make deliveries every day and keep slaughtering pigs?"
Restaurants and eating places will not wait for them just because their pigs are not grown up. If they run out of stock, it will also be a breach of contract. Although they will not have to pay compensation, they will definitely have to buy offal and pork bones from butchers outside. Then, won’t they be unable to sell their own offal and bones?
"We'll definitely deliver to your door. If possible, let's buy a horse-drawn carriage first. As for the issue of slaughtering pigs, Uncle Zhao, you haven't forgotten that many people in Datong County have started raising pigs according to our methods, right? As long as we control the number of pigs slaughtered each day and purchase live pigs at a slightly higher price than the butchers, we won't have to worry about not having enough pigs to kill."
Shen Xiangwan didn't take his concerns to heart at all. This way, it could also solve the problem of people raising too many pigs and being unable to sell them and being forced to lower their prices by butchers, forming a good cycle and everyone could make a lot of money.
"Okay, let's do it this way, Wanwan, you're still smart."
Zhao Dashan made the decision on the spot and did not forget to give a thumbs up to Shen Xiangwan. The latter just smiled faintly and did not take his praise to heart. She was just standing on the shoulders of giants, had a broader vision, and knew more than them. There was no question of whether her brain was working well or not.
