Chapter 131: Scratching
Qin Fangci sighed silently in her heart that it would be a long and arduous journey for her old self to travel far away.
"We're carrying a lot of stuff this time, and it will probably take thirteen or fourteen days to get to the capital."
"When are you leaving? It takes time to make the jerky drier. If you take a lot of goods, it will take me more time."
Back and forth between the two sides.
Yuan brought warm water, and Du cooked three bowls of sweet tofu pudding and brought it up.
It just so happened that the tofu she ordered just now turned into tofu pudding.
When Mrs. Du served the tofu pudding, she first glanced at Qin Fangci secretly.
Qin Fangci nodded gently at her and gave her an encouraging look. Du's heart settled back down, and she gently put down the tofu pudding and left.
"This is the tofu pudding our family has been thinking about recently. Maybe you have eaten it outside." Qin Fangci greeted with a smile.
Xu Zhoutian was the first to pick it up and took a big sip.
"The sweet ones are really good. We bought them before, and the cook also cooked this sweet one. But I saw the cook cook the salty one herself, and it tasted good too."
Xu Da and Xu Er also picked up the water and drank some. "We've only heard that Jiangzhou produces a lot of salt. We heard that people there use the brine to make a kind of food called tofu. It's white and tender and very refreshing. We don't produce salt here."
Just to be clear.
"I don't really have brine. I just managed to make it out of something else."
Xu Da and Xu Er also knew that this was someone else's unique skill and it was not good to spread it casually, so they just tried to test it briefly.
Both of them felt a little regretful. They knew without Qin Fangci telling them that tofu could not be preserved for a long time.
Otherwise, taking this tofu to the provincial capital would also be a good deal.
What a pity, what a pity...
Unfortunately, both of them became confused and wary afterwards.
A small farmhouse.
I can make delicious braised meat, dried meat, and tofu...
How can there be so many?
These skills should have been passed down from their ancestors, but they had clearly never heard of them before.
The two continued to talk with Qin Fangci with doubts.
The journey is long and the dried meat will be damaged.
The Xu brothers kept lowering the price.
Qin Fangci's face was slightly angry. "Since you two are not here sincerely to do business, please go back."
"Meat costs fourteen or fifteen cents per pound. To make dried meat for long-term preservation, three pounds of fresh meat might not even make one pound of dried meat, not to mention the spices we add. We have to make so much in such a short time, and we have to hire people. A pound of dried meat costs fifty cents, and I have to pay for every pound I sell. You're also in business, is there anyone doing business this way?"
Xu Zhoutian nodded repeatedly, feeling very embarrassed, and felt that his elder and second brothers had gone a little too far.
We agreed to apologize to his classmates. If they didn't give money, that would be fine, but no one would ask for money to apologize.
"Big brother, second brother."
Xu Er stuffed a piece of dried meat into his stupid brother's mouth.
Li Laoer was also shocked by the price offered by the two.
It was really a sudden change. He bought the three pounds of dried meat at 110 wen per pound, and the price was not bargained with anyone. When he got to their house, he even cut the price in half and offered a lower discount. It was a very good price.
Xu Da and Xu Er naturally knew that the price was too low, but that's how business works. They have to find out the lowest price offered by others before they can continue.
What's more, the old lady in front of him was too calm, and dealing with her felt like dealing with a veteran in the business world.
This is not a good thing.
The final price was 90 wen per pound of dried meat, and the Xu brothers planned to take away 200 pounds for the first time.
You can make money by taking the unexpected.
If they bring too little, people in the capital will figure it out and they won't make much money even if they bring more.
Two hundred kilograms is not a small amount, and Qin Fangci really can't do it in a short time.
"I need at least a month." Qin Fangci said.
Xu Da and Xu Er also pondered the time in their minds.
They thought Qin Fangci would say two or three months.
One month was a bit unexpected.
The two brothers looked at each other, and Xu Da said, "We can't wait that long. We have to go there first and deliver the goods. It will take at least a month to return, and at the latest two months. This time is just right."
After both parties have reached an agreement, an intermediary witness is still needed.
Qin Fangci asked Yuan to invite the old village chief.
The deed was written and signed in the presence of three parties.
Qin Fangci accepted half of the deposit of nine taels.
Just as the old village chief was about to speak, Li Laoer jumped up with joy.
"Ah, my lady, this is the business I brought back. The business I brought back!"
The old village chief was so scared that he covered his chest with his hands.
A crutch hit Li Laoer's calf. It didn't hurt, but it was enough to bring Li Laoer back to his senses.
"I've scared the old man to death, so I'm asking you to pay for the coffin."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh." Li Laoer quickly helped the old man to spit. "Uncle Hu, may you live a long life."
If you want to die, die in your own room, be good.
How could the old village chief not see Li Laoer's little thoughts? He patted him again, making him jump away with a cry of pain, and then he felt relieved.
"Mugegen, you're selling tofu and dried meat, so you must be too busy at home."
Qin Fangci nodded.
The main technologies are in her hands. She makes money, but it's tiring just to think about it.
"Do you want to hire someone from outside?"
The old village chief thought of what Zhang Lizheng said to him when he went to Dongshi Village to collect beans yesterday.
Everything is under one roof, and we all help each other when we have problems.
Instead of asking him about the Li family's affairs, he reported it directly to the county magistrate. Why didn't he say that everyone is from the same village and should help each other?
After learning a lesson, I realized that we are all in the same boat.
The way you eat is a bit too ugly!
"Big Brother, what do you want to say? Just say it."
The old village chief chuckled, "I think these 200 kilograms of dried meat can be finished by the people in our village if we grit our teeth. We don't need to ask people from other villages. We can wait until they come back to buy more next time. You can think about it later. Some people can't be treated well right away. If you treat them well, they will think you are easy to bully."
He was almost pointing at Zhang Lizheng and saying that this old guy was not a good person and had bad intentions.
Qin Fangci smiled and said, "Of course."
"Brother Village Chief, let me tell you first. After I finish this deal, I have to buy land from you. We can't do big business with this small piece of land."
The old village chief's eyes lit up. Thinking of the nine taels of silver Qin Fangci had just received, he cheerfully encouraged her, "How about I first allocate a piece of land for you and have someone prepare the foundation. By the time you finish this deal, it will be time for the summer harvest, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find enough people by then."
The old village chief continued to encourage, "Your meat jerky is delicious, and people will definitely come to do business again and again. Let's quickly build the workshop, so that you can do better business."
Qin Fangci thought for a moment, then rummaged through the money in her hand. After deducting the twenty taels reserved for this cost, she still had more than twenty taels left.
It seems that it is not impossible.
