Chapter 166 Piece Rate Law

The cruise ship sailed slowly along the coast. People on the boat ate squid strips and drank tea, and signed the oyster sauce contract while chatting and laughing.

The Huo family ordered 80 kilograms for the month, Zhang Huai also ordered 80 kilograms, and the remaining 140 kilograms went to Fang Mingshan.

Everyone was quite satisfied with this allocation. After signing the contract, they admired the scenery on the sea for a while before starting to head back.

Because we agreed to buy squid shreds, the cruise ship stayed at the shore and did not leave.

Jiang Wan came back very quickly and brought most of the squid shreds she had made in the past two days. Huo Changqi bought five catties, Fang Mingshan bought two catties, and the storekeeper Liu also bought two catties. In the end, Zhang Huai also bought one catty as a token of appreciation.

I sold all ten kilograms of squid shreds and made nine hundred and ninety cents in one go!

Jiang Wan calculated the cost on the way back, and the more he calculated, the wider the smile on his face became.

It takes about 30 kilograms of fresh squid to make 10 kilograms of squid shreds. 30 kilograms of squid cost 150 yuan to buy at the dock, not counting the labor. This time, I, my cousin and my aunt did it all.

Another cost is the sauce used on the squid slices, which is used in large quantities but not too expensive.

Because the most expensive spices in the sauce are not added in large quantities, they only need to be added in a few spoons to work, and the largest proportion is mainly sweet bean sauce.

In addition, a lot of garlic was also used. According to an estimate, for ten kilograms of squid shreds, the total cost of the sauce was less than one hundred coins.

That means you can make a net profit of about 700 wen by selling 10 kilograms of squid shreds! !

Jiang Wan touched her wallet, and was very careful to check it.

Currently, both Zhang and Huo are interested in squid shreds. If they can negotiate a deal...

!!!

I'm rich! I'm rich!

Jiang Wan ran home happily and wanted to share the good news with her mother first, but there was a patient in the pharmacy, so she turned around and went to the stove room.

Her aunt was still waiting for her at home.

"Wanwan, did you really sell them all at 99 cents per pound?"

"That's fake~"

Jiang Wan patted her wallet happily, and the copper plates inside jingled.

"Aunt, don't think it's expensive. When we were still in Kyoto, people would think it was cheap to buy a cake for 100 wen. People with money don't care about this."

Song Wenhui nodded subconsciously.

When I was in Kyoto, let alone food that cost a hundred wen, the crispy duck from Yunweilou was only three taels of silver each, and we would often buy it at home.

In her opinion, the squid shreds made by Wanwan were not much less delicious than the crispy duck, and the ninety-nine cents price was well worth it.

However, in this case, ordinary people might not be willing to buy it.

"Wanwan, are you planning to sell the wine shop and only do business with the rich?"

Rich?

Jiang Wan didn't think so at first, but the price she set was indeed not suitable for selling to ordinary people.

"Let's wait and see. Anyway, the cost price is not high. If we can't make a deal with the restaurant, we can lower the price."

Now that we have caught two fish, it all depends on whether those two fish are strong enough.

etc!

fish……

Jiang Wan suddenly remembered that there was another fish.

The fish loved eating it and told her to bring it to him in the city if she had any fresh food.

Yes, yes, this is also a sales channel.

The wealthy families in the city always have snacks ready at home throughout the day, and they might even be able to grab a piece of cake for themselves.

"Aunt, I can't do this business alone. You have to help me."

As soon as Jiang Wan expressed her idea, Song Wenhui shook her head when she heard that it was about profit sharing.

"No, no, I already took advantage of you last time when I bought the conch in sauce. This time you made the squid strips yourself, and you negotiated the sale yourself. I didn't do anything to help you, but you want to share the profits. This is not okay."

Song Wenhui firmly refused.

"Wanwan, you are too lenient. Girls should hold on to their money more tightly. I have nothing to do right now, so just consider me as someone who has hired you and pay me a small salary every month."

Jiang Wan blinked, but thought of her aunt and uncle's tempers and didn't insist.

"How about this, we do it by piece."

"Piecework? What does that mean?"

A new word leaves people confused.

Jiang Wan explained.

"It's piecework. It depends on how many kilograms of squid shreds you make. We earn money by the kilogram. We'll pay you five cents for every kilogram. We'll tally up the amount every day and pay you a lump sum at the end of the month."

Jiang Wan thought carefully before deciding on the amount of five cents.

It is actually not difficult to make squid shreds. It only takes a little effort to clean them at the beginning. Then just wash them, cut them, put them in the oven, brush them with sauce, and bake them.

You don't have to get too close to the stove, just have a rough idea in your mind and when the time comes, just turn the squid over and brush it with sauce.

I cooked squid for two days and cooked about 20 kilograms in total. I could have cooked more, but I didn't agree with the buyer and didn't dare to buy too much.

If the deal with the restaurant can be negotiated, my aunt can make at least 20 kilograms of squid shreds a day, which would earn her 35 taels of silver a month.

After all, she is my dear aunt. It doesn't make sense that people selling oyster meat in the village can earn nearly two taels of silver a month, but she can only get a few hundred coins in wages.

Moreover, the cost of one pound of squid shreds increased by five cents, which did not have much impact on her. The net profit was at least more than sixty cents, and she was already satisfied.

So Jiang Wan came up with a piecework method. How much money his aunt earned would depend on how many squids he bought in a day. This way, his aunt would have nothing to say.

Hehe~perfect.

Song Wenhui thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she agreed immediately. She agreed to come over to work when the squid arrived in the afternoon.

After Jiang Wan saw her aunt off, she went back to the kitchen to make barbecue sauce. She could leave everything else to others, but she had to prepare the sauce herself.

This time so many spices are mixed together, let's see who can follow the trend.

——————————————

While the little girl was busy making the sauce, Manager Liu's cruise ship slowly approached the shore.

Zhang Huai and Fang Mingshan were good friends with Manager Liu, and the three of them went together. Huo Changqi was a generation younger, and he came here to replace his second uncle, so he was not from the same group, so he rode in a carriage alone.

His family has a house here, but looking at the big jar at his feet, he went to his friend's house first.

Fu Yuanling was playing ball with the fat boy in the garden. He was as tired as a dog after running around, but the fat boy was sweating profusely and was still full of energy.

"Uncle, come and chase me!"

It’s too difficult, too difficult.

You have to act like you're chasing someone, but you can't really chase the person, and you still have to play with the person with a smile on your face. This little ancestor is really hard to please.

My second brother was a quiet kid, and my second sister-in-law was gentle, so how could they have given birth to such a little devil? ?

Just when he was about to muster up his courage to fight again, he suddenly saw his servant running towards him.

"Master, Master Huo is here and is waiting for you in the front hall."

Fu Yuanling was about to burst into tears.

Good brother!!
