Uncle Chen was a little anxious when he heard that Chen Xian was planning to sell other vegetables.
Why would you buy free-range chickens when they're perfectly healthy?
But seeing Chen Xian's calm expression, which clearly indicated that he had a plan in mind, he didn't scold him as he had before, but silently kept his doubts to himself.
He... has become more composed.
Chen Xian: "Recently, there have been some troubles in business, and we may need to switch to other directions to maintain the business situation."
Uncle Chen laughed and said, "Alright then, I'll help you buy these free-range chickens. Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now."
He added, "Rosters in the village now cost about eight or nine coins per pound, while hens are probably more expensive."
"How about this, Uncle, you can buy free-range chickens for me in the village, and I'll go to Hongye Village and Laomiao Village to buy them."
Chen Xian took out a large string of copper coins from the carriage and handed them to Uncle Chen.
Soon, the news that the Chen family planned to buy free-range chickens spread like wildfire throughout the village.
Zhang Daguang was somewhat puzzled.
Why would Chen Xian suddenly start collecting free-range chickens? Is he planning to sell them?
Dog's mother was filled with worry.
"His dad, the Chen family sells chicken, so their business will be our competitor from now on."
Zhang Daguang chuckled and said, "The town is so big, you're really overthinking things. Just because the Chen family sells chicken doesn't mean we should stop selling it. Don't be a coward!"
"At worst, we'll just stay away from Chen's stall."
Since the last time he was in the village, Zhang Daguang's business has been doing quite well, and he now feels that it is incredibly strong!
So, throughout the day, Chen Xian went to the village and bought about thirty roosters and a dozen or so old hens.
My uncle also bought five or six free-range chickens in the village.
Then Chen Xian began busily preparing to make braised chicken.
Soon it was evening, and the whole family looked at the huge pot of stewed chicken, their mouths watering uncontrollably!
A thud sounded!
The crowd chuckled, "It smells so good!"
...
At this time, a restaurant in town.
There was a young man and a man who looked like a merchant.
What are they saying?
Manager Qian picked up his wine glass and smiled confidently:
"Young Master Jiang, you'd better get ready to pick up money in sacks. I'm certain that Zuixianglou will be buying up local pigs on a large scale in the coming period. As long as we stockpile local pigs, when merchants need them, Zuixianglou will be the one to buy them, and we can make a fortune from them!"
Jiang Donglai had a very arrogant appearance.
"I hope so. The Wei family wants to swallow up all the pork in Daxing Town. They have a huge appetite and won't leave us any way out. But my father is a cautious person. I don't know if he listened to the slander of some villain, but he insists on not letting me get involved in this matter."
Anyone with a normal mind knows what the Wei family will do next. If we can get a lot of local pigs and then resell them, it's like slapping the Wei family in the face.
I really don't know what my dad is thinking.
Manager Jiang shook his head and said, "When you get old, you just want to play it safe."
If it weren't for the fact that I happen to have a few relatives in the countryside who also raise some local pigs...
These relatives are all people we know very well.
I can get a significant discount by buying from them and then resell them to Zuixiangju.
No matter what, Young Master Jiang said, we've come out ahead.
My relatives raise quite a lot of pigs, probably dozens or even hundreds.
I can't eat this much at once, otherwise it would be difficult to negotiate a lower price.
The price for acquiring all of them is definitely different from the price for buying just a few.
I was just thinking about whether I could ask Young Master Jiang for a share of the profits, so we could all make money together.
It can also help share some of the risks.
hey-hey.
Jiang Donglai chuckled and said, "Well then, thank you very much, Manager Qian."
If I can do this business well, I'll see if my dad still looks down on me.
People usually say I just do nothing and wander around aimlessly.
I watched it; he's probably getting old and increasingly confused. What a great opportunity!
"Yes, yes, young people are indeed more courageous and decisive. In my opinion, as long as we join forces, we can make a name for ourselves not only in the entire Daxing Town business, but also in the Shuichi area of the county town."
The two clinked glasses and chatted, creating quite a lively atmosphere.
They each contributed about two hundred taels of silver.
They got married the following day.
They are still setting up a stall in the food street.
However, the vendors who were watching the spectacle were somewhat puzzled.
The meat smells warm and delicious.
I have some doubts.
"Mr. Chen, why don't you sell pork anymore? How about chicken?"
Chen Xian cupped his hands and smiled, “Recently, the diners have all said they’ve had enough of that pork and want to try something different. I just wanted to take their advice.”
Diners are our bread and butter.
The vendor laughed heartily.
Mr. Chen is always witty.
After everyone left, some people whispered among themselves.
"Human energy is limited."
If you do this well, another thing may be put on hold.
It's really incomprehensible. Just when business was starting to pick up, they abandoned it to do something else.
What if they're just saying it casually, or it's just something new they're interested in, and they don't actually like chicken?
Look at that big pot, it must weigh at least 20 kilograms.
Based on the current price of chicken, it costs eight coins per pound.
If they can't sell them, their family will lose at least a hundred coins.
"Oh, I disagree with what you said."
"Can't we keep the unsold food for ourselves?"
"Use your brain to think about it."
Can we finish all of this food if we eat it ourselves?
You're here to do business, not to use business as a pretext to feed greedy mouths.
