After one bite, the older brother's eyes cleared up and instantly lit up.
After taking two bites, a sense of satisfaction filled his entire face.
"Brother, how about two jin?"
"Damn! Give me five pounds, two pounds isn't enough." The older brother couldn't help but suck his finger.
"Sorry, there's a limit of 2 jin per person." Ye Cheng picked up the sign and showed it to the man.
"Damn it, can't I buy more if I want? I already felt there was something wrong with your rules. Are you trying to sell at a higher price because there are more people wanting to buy?"
My older brother got upset when I told him not to buy more.
Ye Cheng could only patiently explain that this stuff contained excessive heavy metals, and eating too much of it was bad for you, so he only sold two kilograms at a time.
The older man looked completely bewildered. "Wait, you're just a shrimp seller, and you're talking about heavy metal contamination? What does that mean? I don't understand at all."
Ye Cheng chuckled and lowered his voice, "Big brother, does your wife use cosmetics?"
"Use it, what's wrong? You sell cosmetics?" The older brother looked at Ye Cheng warily. Cosmetics are expensive, and he didn't want to spend his money on them.
"No, cosmetics contain heavy metals, and using too much of that stuff is bad. Shrimp is the same; it contains heavy metals, but you can't eat too much of it."
Upon hearing this, the older brother immediately understood. "Damn, that explains why my lips were swollen after I kissed my wife last time. I get it now. You've got a good heart, young man."
This deal is now complete.
Widow Zhang held the 20 yuan, her face beaming with joy. It turned out that this thing really could be sold for money.
With her confidence boosted, Widow Zhang spoke much more fluently, and Ye Cheng eventually just stood by and ignored her.
The 40-jin (20 catties) crayfish sold out in just over two hours, bringing in a total of 430 yuan.
Widow Zhang counted the money several times, her face beaming with joy.
"Ah Cheng, are they really selling so well? Then you'll be able to pay back the money soon, right?"
Seeing how enthusiastic Widow Zhang was, Ye Cheng, though disappointed, still spoke up.
"Auntie, there's no technological barrier to making spicy crayfish. At most, it will take six months, or at least three months, for someone to imitate it. Then the profit margin will be lower, and we can find other ways to make it then."
"Oh? It can only be sold for six months?" Widow Zhang looked regretful. How could such a good business only be sold for six months?
"Half a year is not bad. You can make 400 yuan a day. If you do it for half a year, you can make tens of thousands. Be content, Auntie."
After selling everything, Ye Cheng packed up the goods and took Widow Zhang back home.
From now on, she will have to rely on taking the bus or hitching a ride with Li Yong to sell her goods. Ye Cheng can't do anything about it; he can't deliver them every day himself.
I don't have that much time myself.
Back in the village, Jiang Yunxiang and several familiar aunties came over. They all knew it was the first day of selling crayfish and wanted to see how well Widow Zhang was doing.
As soon as the motorcycle stopped, Widow Zhang jumped off and took out some fruit and snacks to share with the older women.
"Oh, Xiuqin, you've already started selling candy! Is it selling well?" Jiang Yunxiang teased.
"Judging from Xiuqin's appearance, she must have made quite a bit of money," Aunt Qian said, also curious.
Actually, all of them wanted to see if Ye Cheng's mantis shrimp business could really make money.
Widow Zhang didn't try to hide it; these were all people who had helped her during her hospitalization.
"They're all sold out, over 400 sold." Widow Zhang couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"It really sold?"
"People will buy it for ten yuan a pound?"
"Why are these city people so stupid?"
The group of old women kept saying that city people were stupid, but their eyes were fixed on the money in Widow Zhang's hand.
Whether they're stupid or not, I don't know, but the money is real.
Widow Zhang, an unemployed woman, is now earning several hundred yuan a day thanks to the method taught by Ye Lao Er. Who wouldn't be envious?
Ye Cheng had no choice; imitation was inevitable. He just hoped they wouldn't drive down the price arbitrarily.
The market for crayfish is huge, and there's absolutely no need to resort to price-cutting so early in the business.
Seeing the unfriendly looks from the older women, Ye Cheng decisively went home. It wouldn't be good to say anything if someone asked.
Sure enough, Jiang Yunxiang came over that evening and first put down the dishes she was carrying for Ye Cheng. "Here, I stewed some beef brisket for you. You can eat it with your meals."
After saying that, Jiang Yunxiang looked like she wanted to say something more but hesitated.
Ye Cheng could tell something was up, so he said, "Sister-in-law, just say what you want to say. We're family, why be so polite?"
Jiang Yunxiang looked embarrassed, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and said to Ye Cheng, "Um, Cheng, Aunt Qian and the others asked me to ask you if you could teach them how to make crayfish."
Ye Cheng's face darkened. It really was this kind of thing; everyone wants to make money.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but since they pushed Jiang Yunxiang forward, it would be difficult for us not to agree.
It seems this exclusive business is going to be a bit difficult.
Seeing Ye Cheng's troubled expression, Jiang Yunxiang felt even more embarrassed.
"Well, Cheng, if it's difficult, then forget it. I just wanted to ask. The main thing is that several families in the village aren't very well-off, and they all want to find some side businesses to help each other out, so I asked you for help."
"Sister-in-law, it's not difficult, but let me think about how to do this business properly. I'll tell you later."
Since everyone is interested, we may need to change the business model, but Ye Cheng hasn't decided yet.
Moreover, he hoped that Widow Zhang could continue for a while longer, since it was currently her exclusive market.
Hearing that Ye Cheng had tacitly agreed, Jiang Yunxiang was overjoyed. No matter what, her sister-in-law's involvement would still be effective.
Now I can explain everything to everyone. As for whether we can go into business together later, we'll see.
After seeing Jiang Yunxiang off, Ye Cheng was a little tired and didn't want to think about this troublesome matter.
Let's talk about it again in a couple of days when my mind is clearer.
There are different approaches to franchising, partnerships, or independent operations.
......
Four days had passed since Ye Cheng promised Elder Li, and he was starting to get anxious. He got up this morning and, without doing anything else, immediately opened the system:
Luck value: 80+20
Seeing the 100 luck points in front of him, Ye Cheng shouted, "Damn! It's finally here."
He rolled out of bed, picked up the phone and called Old Li to arrange to go to sea today.
Old Li had been waiting impatiently for a long time. If he hadn't promised Ye Cheng beforehand, and if he hadn't been unable to find his diver, he wouldn't have waited so long.
Hearing that it was time to go into the sea today, he quickly called for people to prepare for it.
As for Ye Cheng, he didn't need to go into the city to take a boat; he could just wait at the dock.
