Chapter 12, The Last Batch
It’s not that she didn’t believe it, but it was so expensive. He couldn’t charge so much for a restaurant.
An Qianqian knows a little about restaurant management. Their purchase price is generally much cheaper than the market price.
Otherwise, profits cannot be guaranteed.
"What, five dollars?" Mother An was shocked.
An Qianqian nodded: "Yes, five dollars, Mom, you have tasted the taste of our chicken. If we can take it to the city, I am afraid it will be more expensive."
She had no intention of selling her chickens at a low price.
Boss Zhu was prepared, of course, but business is a matter of negotiation: "Little girl, I'll take it all, can you give me a discount?"
His expression didn't change, it was still that smiling face.
But An Qianqian could see that it was a fake mask.
Of course, it has little to do with her. There is only a business relationship between them.
An Qianqian shook her head, "Boss Zhu, forget it. I will never lower the price. At most, you buy all the chickens and I won't sell them to anyone else." At least now, she couldn't sell them even if she wanted to.
Zhu Daqing was a smart man and could see that the one who made the decision between the mother and daughter was the little girl.
"Okay, five dollars is five dollars, but you can't sell it to other restaurants." Although Qingshan Town is a town, his is not the only restaurant here.
"Okay." An Qianqian nodded in agreement without even thinking, "After we sell this batch, I won't have any chickens to sell anyway."
She doesn't want to lie. If it's there, it's there. If it's not there, it's not there
When Boss Zhu heard this, he was happy and said, "Then I wonder when the second batch of chickens will be available for sale?"
It’s better if he doesn’t have it, because then he can make money.
"At least we've got until the New Year." She didn't mention that there were no chicks at home.
But thinking of the little pig at home, An Qianqian thought that she could find a place for the pig as well.
"There are not only chickens for the New Year, but also a pig. If Boss Zhu wants them, I can give them all to you, but you know the price."
Boss Zhu understood and said, "It's acceptable if it's not too exaggerated." It's good to have pigs. There are many people eating during the New Year, and meat is the best.
Here, there must be pork on the New Year's table. Anything else can be missing, except meat.
"Little girl, we have an agreement. You bring the chicken here tomorrow, and you have to leave the pig for me during the New Year." Boss Zhu said kindly.
The business was settled.
Mother An looked dizzy. On the way back, she was still a little bit unconvinced and thought she was dreaming.
But seeing so many people on the street, she didn't ask her daughter.
When she was about to leave Qingshan Street, An Qianqian stopped.
"Mom, let's catch some more chicks, otherwise we won't have any to sell during the New Year." Someone happened to be selling chicks in front.
"Sure, but I heard from your Aunt Yu last time that there are a few families in the village that have chicks for sale. Do you think we should buy all of them home?"
The price is so high, it’s only five dollars, you can buy a hundred of them.
"I'll listen to mom." An Qianqian agreed.
The mother and daughter bought a lot of things before returning to Uncle He's carriage.
On the way back, not many people took the horse-drawn carriage because they all went back with the tractor.
This was a good opportunity for the mother and daughter. It wouldn't be too comfortable for two people to ride in the carriage.
Mother An took out two buns from the cloth bag and handed them to Uncle He: "Uncle, you must be hungry. Eat something quickly. They are vegetarian." If they were meat-filled, Uncle He would be embarrassed.
But vegetarian ones are different.
Sure enough, after hearing Su's words, Uncle He took over and said, "Thank you."
Uncle He talked to the two of them while eating, asking them about the price of the chicken.
Are you planning to raise chickens in the future by buying so many chicks?
An's mother did not hide it, "Yes, I plan to raise some chickens. The crops in the fields are so unproductive all year round, so I have to think of a way to make a living." After the crops are subcontracted to each household, how much they can earn depends entirely on their own abilities.
There are only two of them at home, mother and daughter, and it is impossible for them to increase their income.
"Then raising chickens is a good idea. At least it's not that hard." Uncle He agreed.
Chickens are different from pigs. They don't need to be fed with grain. If you save a little, you can make a lot of money throughout the year.
Nowadays every household raises some chickens at home, sells some throughout the year, picks up eggs to eat, and lives a happy life.
When she got home, An Qianqian immediately showed off her treasures and took out all the money she had earned from selling the goods that day.
Looking at the colorful bills on the bed, An's mother was full of disbelief.
"So much money." She was prepared, but she was still shocked when she saw so much money.
"Mom, we will have money in the future." The mother and daughter no longer had to worry about running out of money and having no food to eat.
Fortunately, An's mother didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would have told her that if it weren't for her, money wouldn't have flowed like water.
After the first harvest, the next day, Mother An directly hired Uncle He’s carriage to go to town.
Because Boss Zhu had made the reservation early on, they didn’t have to set up their own stall this time.
As soon as the chickens were brought to the restaurant entrance, Boss Zhu came forward and said, "Finally, we've got you here." He started pre-selling chickens yesterday, and to his surprise, quite a few people placed orders.
Early in the morning, he was waiting at the door for the God of Wealth to come.
This time, all the edible chickens in the house were caught. An Qianqian originally planned to keep a few for herself, but her mother would never agree.
This is money, and they are not that greedy. Even if they are, pork is cheap.
"Good morning, Boss Zhu." When Mother An saw Boss Zhu coming towards her, she took two steps back, somewhat unaccustomed.
For a rural woman like her, such a posture was a bit scary.
An Qianqian took a step forward and stood in front of her mother, "Where is Boss Zhu taking this chicken?"
You have to weigh it, it's not just the weight they say it is.
Boss Zhu slapped his forehead, he was so happy that he silly, "Come, follow me." After that, he led them to the back door.
Goods are usually brought in and out here, so it's just right to bring chickens here.
As soon as he arrived, Boss Zhu was impatient and started weighing immediately.
After weighing, he fiddled with the abacus and told them the total.
Today's amount is more, a total of 385.5 yuan. An's mother is not a stingy person. After hearing the number, she immediately deleted the decimals at the end.
The total cost was three hundred and eighty-five yuan.
Boss Zhu didn't care about these things. He happily paid the money and the transaction was settled.
"Miss An, you have to sell all your chickens to me from now on." He felt that if there was a long-term cooperation, his business might be able to reach a higher level.
An Qianqian smiled and shook her head: "Boss Zhu, to be honest, I plan to raise more fish. Your restaurant definitely can't eat them all." She had never thought of selling to just one store.
Besides, if she has too much goods and he can’t sell them well, what will she do?
Can’t you eat it yourself?
When Boss Zhu heard this, he realized that he couldn't have a monopoly, but he wasn't stupid: "Then I wonder if you plan to keep selling in town?" If so, then he would have no advantage at all.
