Gu Yanzhang was very capable.
Early the next morning, he quietly returned home, dragging a donkey cart full of things.
As soon as he got home, before Gu Yanzhang had the chance to say anything nice to Chen Xuanxuan, Gu Yu'an, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, yelled, "Have you really spent all the money?"
Gu Yanzhang heard it and said righteously, "Yes!"
"Money is originally something outside of our body. In terms of our lives and property, the money we earn is actually nothing."
"As long as we get through this smoothly, we will live the happy life we want. Moreover, we should be able to earn a lot of money by then. After I have enough money, I will buy a bigger store in the county."
Gu Yu'an looked down on his son's greed for money.
He felt that he was a little crazy.
Food, shelter, and clothing were just so-so. Why was he working so hard?
Gu Yu'an really didn't understand them, and he was like a wandering soul that had been stimulated by something, and he started to curse and walk away.
After he left, Gu Yanzhang quickly took all the money in his hand.
Then, he took advantage of his father's inattention and handed the money to his wife.
After paying the money, Gu Yanzhang felt relieved all over.
Knowing that his wife had left some food for him, Gu Yanzhang quickly heated up yesterday's leftovers and ate them.
After eating, he began to catch up on sleep.
He slept all day.
After he slept well, he slowly woke up.
Chen Xuanxuan felt that he was really tired, so she was very careful and light-footed, not wanting to disturb him.
Now that he had woken up and his eyes were clear, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Boss, how many kilograms of fish did you buy this time? How much did it cost?"
Gu Yanzhang wiped his face with a towel and replied, "Not much money. So I was very careful with my money and kept bargaining with the other party. In the end, I used 50 kilograms of food to exchange for almost 100 kilograms of grass carp. The other five were all fresh."
"The rest are all smoked fish, dried fish, and salted fish..."
After knowing this situation, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it seriously, and then nodded gently.
"Okay..., if you calculate it carefully, I personally feel that it is quite cost-effective, about one pound of grain for two pounds of fish. Fish is a vegetable, and sometimes it can be fried to produce some oil. However, salted fish, dried fish, and smoked fish definitely cannot be made into fish balls."
Gu Yanzhang nodded when he heard this, "I know this is the case, but if I want to buy a large amount of fresh fish, I will definitely not make a special calculation. Because in the county, fresh fish is a little more expensive than grain, because it is also a vegetable after all."
After understanding the situation, Chen Xuanxuan nodded gently to show her understanding.
After the man in front of her went to the county, she had actually analyzed it carefully. If she really made fish balls at home and sold them outside, there would still be some risks.
Moreover, the cost was extremely high.
Fish balls require the meat from the belly of the fish, which is then carefully hammered and chopped into round and plump balls, and then slowly fried in a pan.
In this way, the high-cost fish balls are not something that ordinary people can afford.
At least, those who live an ordinary life in the county would never spend money to buy this every day.
The cost is too high, the sales volume is too low, and his family has no money to make...
Thinking of the dilemma she was about to face, Chen Xuanxuan began to talk to Gu Yanzhang seriously, "Boss, I have actually thought about it seriously. If our family just makes fish balls so carelessly, the risk is still very high. I really can't guarantee that we can make money immediately after doing this..."
Noticing that his wife was frowning and worried, Gu Yanzhang, who knew something about small business, opened his mouth and began to comfort her.
"It's okay, it's okay, just do it. Make the product first, so that I can learn the craft. Then, as long as the cost drops, we can make the product and sell it."
After hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan immediately understood that he wanted to learn the craft from her again.
Knowing that this man attached great importance to his skills, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and told him seriously.
"Boss, I really don't want to lie to you. It will be very difficult for us to do this business, because the cost of doing this thing is too high, and it takes a lot of hard work. You, a man, may not be able to do it. At least I think that if we rely on you alone, our family can't do this business at all..."
The more humble and cautious Chen Xuanxuan was, the bolder the man in front of him became.
He kept cheering her up, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. No matter what our family does, we built it up little by little from scratch."
"Now all you have to do is put in some effort and be careful, and just tell me how to make fish balls!"
Chen Xuanxuan really couldn't persuade him any more, so she had to put in her own effort and began to teach him how to make fish balls little by little.
Gu Yanzhang learned very seriously and attentively. In less than three days, he had mastered all the tricks of making fish balls.
After mastering those things, he kept making improvements. So by the seventh day, the fish balls he made were much more delicious than those made by Chen Xuanxuan!
She gave Gu Yanzhang a thumbs up without thinking about the delicacies he made.
After that, the two of them began to discuss how to sell this fresh thing in the county.
What price to sell it at, who is the customer group, what strategies to sell fish balls, what kind of activities to organize... Chen Xuanxuan discussed it with Gu Yanzhang in detail, and also made a series of market research and planning tables.
After seeing the results, Chen Xuanxuan sighed in her heart that she was worthy of being a person who worked 996 all year round.
The results are really eye-catching and refreshing. Gu Yanzhang was amazed.
The fact was just as she thought, Gu Yanzhang had been with Chen Xuanxuan day and night for the past few days and had learned a lot of skills from her.
From this period of time, his ambition became stronger.
Gu Yanzhang now has special faith in Chen Xuanxuan. Because he always feels that his daughter-in-law is a very capable person. Moreover, she is very thoughtful and capable.
