Chapter 124 What to do if demand exceeds supply
“Selling braised dishes!”
The resident said, "Really? Buy me some."
The worker said, "Good boy, you're quite good at cutting in line. There are so many people waiting in line. If you want to buy something, go to the back."
The people around couldn't help but drool at the aroma. Knowing how picky the people at the steel mill were, they all liked it, so it must be delicious.
But the line was too long, and they couldn't wait that long. So they gave up. They heard they'd be back tomorrow, so they decided to come early to avoid competing with them.
The line was long, and the people behind were all a little anxious, fearing that they wouldn't be able to buy it. They began to drool at the rich aroma.
Fortunately, Lu Xiang had prepared well and had the other two helpers teach them how to mix vegetables. The three of them started working together. Although the team was long, they mixed the vegetables quickly.
Liu Pang, Xu Aidang, Liu Zhang and others collected money while scooping out the braised dishes.
Everyone was so busy that the director of the steel mill came out at noon and found his son helping out.
And what he smelled was the unfamiliar fragrance that he had been craving yesterday. It was there today, calling his son's name.
When Liu Zhang looked up and saw his father, his hands trembled and he almost threw the pig's trotter out: "Dad, why are you here?"
The factory manager asked, "What is this?"
Liu Zhang said: "This is my buddy's business, I came over to help."
The factory manager nodded, said nothing, and left.
Before leaving, he gave Liu Zhang a look. He wanted to eat, but as the factory director, he had to be more reserved.
Liu Zhang raised his eyebrows. He bought twenty kilograms this time, which was enough to eat forever.
Things are selling very fast. I bought so much today, but I didn’t expect it’s still not enough.
As more and more people are following behind me, I feel like I can’t see the end.
Fatty Liu said directly: "It seems that we don't have enough things to buy."
Six people started selling at the same time today and the stock went down very quickly.
Fat Liu changed to a bigger money box today, and it’s almost full.
Seeing that they had brought four barrels of meat, only one and a half were left. There were still so many people outside, so they said, "Don't queue up at the back, don't queue up, there's almost no more!"
When he shouted this, the people behind him left the line reluctantly and asked the people in front to buy fewer portions.
The people ahead of them bought even more when they heard this. Why buy less? This is based on ability. Wouldn't it be better if they could just come out earlier next time?
When the people at the spring factory heard this, they immediately went to complain to Xu Aidang: "It's not that we came late, it's that they were too aggressive in grabbing the goods!"
Xu Aidang was the son of the deputy director of the spring factory. He agreed with what he heard and said to Liu Pang, "Come to our spring factory tomorrow and set up shop for a day."
Fatty Liu agreed. This matter cannot be treated favoritism.
When Liu Zhang heard this, he said, "Then come to our place the day after tomorrow. One day per person, that's fair!"
The customers waiting on the side urged: "Why don't you sell it more often in the future?" It was the first time they had tasted such delicious braised meat. Fatty Liu said: "We don't have that much pig offal!"
This time, I was able to get so much extra because I was shipping goods to the provincial capital. Otherwise, if I wanted to save money on a normal day, I wouldn't have any.
After the person in front finished buying, he went back to the cafeteria and asked for two taels of rice.
It was just as the chef had predicted. Everyone was only buying rice, and no one was buying vegetables. The vegetables they had were already very few, so not many people were buying.
They'd grab a box of rice to eat on the spot and take another box home. Since they'd bought a lot of braised meat, they'd also buy some rice. When they got home that evening, they could just heat it up in a pot and have it ready. They didn't even have to cook. It was both convenient and delicious.
Only people in the steel factory are so extravagant that they eat out all day long.
The workers in the factory have heard that they won’t be able to sell it for many days.
If I don’t eat it now, I won’t be able to eat it in the future. As a result, I bought a lot of it.
The cold-mixed pork was the first to sell out, and the braised pork wasn't much left. Every last bit, even the broth, was bought up. Today's order was twice as much as yesterday's, and it sold out even faster than yesterday's.
The people behind them who hadn't bought anything were complaining. They had come out early to buy and smell the food. They had no appetite for radish or cabbage when they returned.
I want those who bought more earlier to share some with them.
Those who bought it earlier, who had finally bought it, all said they would not sell it.
It was the first time for Liu Zhang and Xu Aidang to experience such an occasion, and they were really excited, just like going to war.
After finishing my work, I was sweating all over.
Fortunately, they bought 20 kilograms early. Now they can't buy it even if they want to, which makes the things they bought even more precious.
Everyone also gave Liu Pang and his team some suggestions, asking them to do more tomorrow.
Fatty Liu's face was full of regret: "I can't do much more."
These are already the limits. They don’t have enough pots or stoves.
If it's a long-term business, you can build a few more stoves. But for short-term business, you can only make do with what you have.
Moreover, no matter how much pig heads and other meat you have to process, you will never be able to finish it.
Lu Xiang is a very strict person, and everything is prepared according to her family's standards. Things like pig intestines need to be washed multiple times, making them very troublesome to handle.
Everyone had no choice but to give up.
Fat Liu came up with an idea and said, "From now on, each person can only buy a maximum of five kilograms!" This purchase limit method should be used to deal with it.
Otherwise, all the food will be bought up by the people in front, and the people behind will have nothing to eat.
After selling their things, Liu Pang and his friends left quickly. They came and went in a hurry.
When they returned, not only Lu Xiang and Liu Pang, but also the two helpers they brought with them were excited. They had never done such a satisfying job in their lives.
After returning home, Fatty Liu and Lu Xiang began to divide the money. Afterwards, both of them were surprised to varying degrees. Each of them received more than 500 yuan.
This is pure profit, more than what I got yesterday.
Fat Liu turned around excitedly for a few times and said to Lu Xiang, "I really can't bear to leave you!" He was very polite. This business would not last long.
This was the first profitable business he found.
Although the money he earns is not as much as that earned by a big company like his father's.
But looking at the entire second-generation circle, he is considered young and promising.
And this deal was entirely his own idea. He was quite prepared for danger. Before this deal was even finished, he was already thinking about the next one. He wished he could be tied to Lu Xiang until death.
The first is that he can make more money, and the second and most important thing is that he can work with Lu Xiang and eat as much delicious food as he wants, which makes him feel so happy.
Lu Xiang and Liu Pang have a very pleasant cooperation and can make a lot of money here.
Both parties feel like they have gained an advantage, which is an absolute win-win situation.
Lu Xiang now has a total of 800 yuan in her hands.
Lu Xiang deposited the money in the bank and looked at the passbook against her chest, feeling an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
