All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 328 328. Unbearable Protection Fee
The next night when he came home from get off work, Yue Wenxuan was holding a few fish in his hand.

My sister-in-law's small business has just started, and everything is still in the exploratory stage. At this time, the most important thing is not how much money she makes, but everything goes well.

Yue Wenxuan brought home a total of four fish, including three grass carp and one carp, each weighing more than three catties.

These few fish are made into fried fish nuggets, which can yield almost ten catties.

This little thing can fit in a basket, even if the sale is not very smooth at the beginning, it can be sold within a day.

It was the first time for my sister-in-law to do business. Since last night, she has been in a state of extreme excitement.

It took another whole day today to make all the preparations.

Seeing the four fish that Yue Wenxuan brought home, her eyes seemed to be flickering.

She took the fish, looked at them carefully, and said with satisfaction:

"Fried fish nuggets made from grass carp taste the best, even carp.

You're lucky today, we're sure to have a good start. "

"I think so too." Yue Wenxuan was more confident than his sister-in-law.

Although the sister-in-law is very excited, but now is not the time to kill fish.

If the fried fish nuggets are to be delicious, it is best to kill the fish fresh, so these fish have to be kept in the water for the time being, and they can be killed when they get up early tomorrow.

After dinner, the whole family was very concerned about tomorrow's business, expressing their opinions, regardless of whether what they said was useful or not, they all wanted to do their part, and they all looked forward to a good start tomorrow.

The next morning, my sister-in-law got up early, and got up before five o'clock.

She had to get up early because the fish had to be marinated for an hour after it was killed.

Originally, she planned to get up quietly by herself without disturbing other people, but when she left the room, other people woke up one after another.

The sister-in-law had just carried the firewood into the house, and everyone in the house, including the old lady, had already dressed and was ready to help her.

When Yue Wenxuan got up and came to the yard, breakfast was already ready, so he could eat it alone.

Yue Wenxuan washed up as quickly as possible, sat down at the table, and said:
"Actually, there's no need to get up so early. If I go out to sell fried fish nuggets in the early morning, I guess no one will buy them.

No matter what, it must be after nine o'clock before anyone will buy it.

You can try it today to see if there are many people buying in the morning. I estimate that there will be more people buying during the time period from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] noon.

In short, let’s try it first, sell it for a few days to sum up the experience, and then it will be easy to arrange. "

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's words, the sister-in-law felt that it made sense, "This is the first time I'm doing business in my life, and I'm a little too excited.

I listened to my fourth brother, today's fish will be marinated for a while, and I won't fry it for now.

Wait until eight o'clock to start frying, and it will be sold at nine o'clock. If it sells quickly, it will still be hot. "

The sister-in-law was doing business on the first day, and Yue Wenxuan was also very concerned. She got off work a little early in the morning and rushed home before 11:30.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard laughter and laughter from inside the house.

Hearing everyone's laughter, Yue Wenxuan was in the bottom line, no need to ask, the fried fish nuggets in the morning must have been sold out, and he should have made money.

As soon as he entered the house, the old lady couldn't wait to share the good news with him, "Wenxuan, guess how much money your sister-in-law made today?"

"I guess there should be at least 100 yuan."

"More than that, guess again!"

"Is there 200 yuan?"

Yue Jiashi couldn't wait to say: "Although I didn't earn 200 yuan, it was about the same. I made a total of 180 yuan!"

"How did you earn so much? Did you raise the price later?" Yue Wenxuan was quite surprised.

The price of selling fried fish nuggets was discussed by the whole family last night, and the price set at that time was 65 per catty.

But if it is sold at this price, it will definitely not make a small 200 yuan.

If you just start a business, you must keep a careful account, so you know how much you earn and how little you earn.

Among the people in the family, Meng Yining is the most knowledgeable, so she is in charge of bookkeeping and accounting.

Meng Yining said: "The four fish you brought back are a total of 50 catties and [-] taels. Calculated at [-] yuan per catty, the total cost is..."

After hearing Meng Yining's reimbursement, Yue Wenxuan also became happy.

He only took home four fish, and he actually made a small 200 yuan after selling them.

Yue Wenxuan did not expect such a small business to have such a high profit.

The old lady concluded from the side: "The reason why I can make so much money is mainly because my mother's craftsmanship is good. She makes fried fish nuggets, and no one doesn't like to eat them.

Another one is that Jia Shi is smart, seeing that things are selling fast, he raised the price in time.

Otherwise, according to the price set last night, he would definitely not be able to earn so much. "

Meng's mother also said: "If you want to have money for the family, it seems that you still have to do business.

Such a small business can earn so much money, I still feel like a dream, I can't imagine it. "

"It's just that the fish brought back by Wenxuan is a bit short, ten catties of fried fish nuggets were sold out in the morning.

I reckoned that even if it weighed thirty catties, it could be sold in a day.

If you weigh thirty catties, you can earn at least 550 yuan a day.

In addition to the money earned, our family can still have a few fish heads left. If the cost is also calculated, we should be able to earn 600 yuan a day. "

Although the old lady was illiterate, she knew how to calculate.

Yue Wenxuan said: "In winter, it's hard to catch fish. Thirty catties a day is unlikely, and twenty catties is about the same."

"Can I buy it elsewhere?" Meng Yining understood that this was the core issue.

"It's not easy to buy. It's freezing cold now, and there are basically no fish in the county.

If it weren't for the fact that rare things are expensive, it would be difficult for me to sell freshly caught live fish at a high price of 50 yuan a catty. "

It is certainly not a problem for Yue Wenxuan to supply [-] catties of fish a day, but such a large amount every day is too high-profile, and he can't do it.

The sister-in-law said regretfully: "I plan to cook more tomorrow, but if I can't buy fish in other places, then I have no choice but to cook as much as I can."

"It's not that there are other ways, we can't buy fish, we can buy other things instead.

My sister-in-law made stewed pork head meat, isn't it just as delicious?We can consider adding an additional item. I think braised pork head meat is a good choice and should sell well. "

This was something Yue Wenxuan had already considered.

The same is to buy pork. Now the price of loin strips is 60 yuan per catty, but the price of pig heads is much lower, and people usually buy them whole.

After removing the bones, the price of raw pig head meat is about 40 yuan per catty.

The stewed pork head meat made by my sister-in-law is also a must, and I should not worry about selling it. The profit here is very considerable.

The sister-in-law immediately beamed with joy, "That's right, why didn't I think of it, I can give it a try, maybe the profit is not low."

With a new plan, the whole family is full of confidence and expects to earn more money.

However, after the actual sale the next day, the profit was not as high as everyone imagined.

The sale of braised pork head meat is not as popular as everyone imagined. Although it has made money, the average profit is much lower than that of fried fish nuggets.

After Yue Wenxuan's analysis, everyone realized that the business was not so easy to do. In a competitive business, if you can make money, it is already good.

Selling fried fish nuggets can earn so much money because there are few people competing. It is a unique business in the winter, so it is of course easy to make money.

However, there are many shops selling stewed pork head meat in the county town. If there are more people competing, the profits will naturally not be high.

Everyone believed what Yue Wenxuan said.

He was right, but there was a more important reason: Yue Wenxuan underreported the cost of the fish.

At this time, there are very few fish sellers in the county, and naturally everyone does not know the cost price of buying fish.

It was beyond Yue Wenxuan's expectation that he could make money selling stewed pork head meat on the first day.

The business is not so easy to do. You can make money from the very beginning of the business. Apart from the really good craftsmanship of the sister-in-law, the contribution of the Yue family stone should not be underestimated.

Yue Jiashi has a simple and honest face, which is easy to be trusted. In fact, he has a lot of eyes, and he can say that doing such a small business is quite suitable for him.

After half a month, the family's small business has basically stabilized.

The amount of live fish that Yue Wenxuan brings home every day is not constant, sometimes it is less than ten catties, and sometimes it is more than twenty catties.

On average, the daily profit is about three hundred.

Pig heads are ordered, and the daily sales volume does not fluctuate much. Thirty catties can be sold steadily every day, and the overall profit is also three hundred.

Yue Wenxuan is also responsible for this.

Every morning when he went to work, he would bring ten catties of marinated pork head meat, which he said was sold to his colleagues in the unit, but he actually took it to his space.

It is still four or two years now, and there will be a shortage of food and drink for the next few decades, so whenever he has the opportunity, he will stock up more food in the space.

With the family affairs properly arranged, Yue Wenxuan freed up his energy and prepared to exchange the hundreds of thousands of French coins in the space for supplies.

Fiat currency has been depreciating slowly, and it is not obvious in a short period of time, but as long as the time is extended to quarters, the depreciation speed is simply shocking.

Hundreds of thousands of French currency is still a lot of wealth now, but if he left it in the space, he might not be able to buy a box of matches in the future.

He doesn't have anything in particular missing right now, and exchanging these hundreds of thousands of French coins for supplies is just to preserve value.

In order to spend this large sum of money as soon as possible, he tried his best to choose high-value items to buy.

His first choice was to buy some expensive traditional Chinese medicines, as well as some commonly used medicinal materials, such as old wild ginseng, deer antler, rhino horn, tiger bone, etc.

To buy more Chinese herbal medicines, he plans to take the time to make some necessary Chinese patent medicines.

In this age of war and chaos, and today's medicine is underdeveloped, there are not many options for western medicine, so he can only make more Chinese patent medicines with good medicinal effects.

It cost about 30 French currency to buy various Chinese herbal medicines.

Although there was already a large amount of fabric in the space, he chose the remaining hundreds of thousands of French coins, and finally bought the fabric.

The main reason is that the fabric is expensive, easy to buy, and easy to sell. It is a very good choice to store value.

All he bought were ordinary muslin cloth, the more ordinary the cloth, the easier it would be for him to sell in the future.

Since the family started a small business, the life of Yue Wenxuan's family has become more and more prosperous, and laughter can always be heard in the yard.

After work at noon, Yue Wenxuan just walked into the alley when he saw people surrounded in front of him, and there were cries and shouts coming from time to time.

He walked forward quickly and found that the people who got together were all neighbors in the alley.

Everyone was in a gloomy mist, and some people sighed from time to time.

The ones who looked the most embarrassed were Brother Yang and Sister-in-law Yang. Sister-in-law Yang's hair was disheveled, and there were a few big footprints on her clothes, apparently kicked a few times.

Brother Yang was even more embarrassed. He was sitting on the ground with blood on his head and hands. He looked miserable and was beaten badly.

Yue Wenxuan walked up, stood beside Luo Kaiyin, and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle Luo, what's wrong with brother Yang and sister-in-law Yang?"

Luo Kaiyin first sighed, "The world is really getting more and more difficult now, and we ordinary people will have no way to survive.

Didn't the two of them open a grocery store? It was smashed down today, and the couple tried their best to stop them, but they were beaten up. "

"Why did someone smash up the shop, did Brother Yang offend someone?"

Luo Kaiyin explained in a low voice: "The couple have always been kind to others, and they always look happy when they see everyone, so how could they offend others.

It's all about money.

I heard that the protection fee has risen again. I used to pay [-] a month, but this month it suddenly increased to [-].

How much money does their small grocery store earn in total every month?There are already a lot of taxes and fees, and now they have to pay an additional [-] protection fees. Where can they make money? Of course they are unwilling to teach.

The two of them begged in every possible way, but unfortunately it was useless at all, those little bastards were all vicious, how could they understand the difficulties of us little people. "

Yue Wenxuan has long heard that it is not easy to open a store, in addition to paying various taxes and fees, he also has to pay protection fees, but he did not expect the protection fees to be so high.

Before starting a business at home, he also thought about renting a store fronting the street. Later, he heard that opening a store would be very troublesome. In addition to dealing with various door-to-door errands, he also had to deal with small businessmen collecting protection fees, so he dismissed the idea. idea.

Now that he heard what happened to brother Yang and sister-in-law Yang, he realized that their situation was much more difficult than he had imagined.

The neighbors in the alley sympathized with Yang Ge and Yang Sister-in-law, but it was Tailor Wei who felt the most empathy.

He walked over and pulled Brother Yang up, and said: "It's cold on the ground, you'd better get up quickly, you already have injuries on your body, if you catch a cold and get sick again, what will happen."

"Uncle Wei, what do you think?" Brother Yang asked.

Although the tailor shop opened by Tailor Wei is not on the same street as Brother Yang, it also faces the same problem.

"What else can I do, such a high protection fee, I definitely can't bear it.

I'm going to rent out the store, and if I can't find a tenant, I have to close it. "

Tailor Wei's tone was full of despair and helplessness.

"Then after closing the door, what do we eat and drink? We all have a big family to raise, so we can't drink the northwest wind, right?"

Brother Yang thought about it too, but he couldn't make up his mind.
