Chapter 63: Rising Raw Material Prices
Jiang Dashan said stubbornly, "Why don't we stop this business and stop buying those offal. They will know after a while."
Jiang Dahe was shocked. "Brother, this is not acceptable. Although the price of the waste they bought has increased, we still make a profit. We can't go against the money.
At worst, we can go further away and buy in the East District, where there are more shops."
Jiang Dahai nodded, "Second brother is right. We will go to the East District to buy water tomorrow. It's just a little further away. We don't want to suffer this."
Jiang Qingyi felt that this was a solution, but it could not completely solve the problem.
No matter where you buy from, there is a risk of being stuck with raw materials. If you really want to solve this problem from the source, you can just find a place to do the breeding yourself, from raw materials to products, and no one can cause trouble no matter who wants to.
However, the Jiang family probably would not agree to large-scale breeding, and Jiang Qingyi herself has no experience in this area, so this plan probably would not work.
However, Jiang Qingyi still gave a suggestion, "How about this, Dad, you and Second Uncle go directly to the East District to find a butcher and ask him to provide us with a certain amount of pig offal every day. If one party does not abide by the agreement, it will need to compensate the other party with a lot of silver. Then both parties sign a document and submit it to the government. This way, the problem of temporary price increases can be solved."
Jiang Dahe looked at Jiang Qingyi with sparkling eyes, "Our Xiaowu is really smart. Let's do this. The drainage problem will be solved immediately. We don't have to worry about the butchers suddenly raising the price."
Old Man Jiang also said, "Just do as Xiaowu said. Second and third brothers, mention it when you go to buy water tomorrow. If someone is willing to sign the document, we will get it done quickly. If not, we will consider it slowly. After all, we can't let anyone control the lifeline of our business."
It was almost time for dinner, but the kitchen was still empty.
Wang and Chen looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
The two of them had previously understood that it was inconvenient for Zhao to bring Xiaojie with her, so they had not allowed Zhao to go to the stall with them.
In fact, Xiaotian is not without a caretaker. Old Mrs. Jiang is at home every day.
Zhao is now less than three months pregnant, and she doesn't even do housework anymore. I'm afraid she has to wait for her two sisters-in-law to come back from the stall to cook for her.
Thinking that the whole family had not eaten, Wang and Chen went to the kitchen to prepare food together.
While eating, Zhao said in a pretentious manner, "Thank you for troubling my two sisters-in-law. I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach today, so I didn't dare to come to the kitchen to help."
It would have been fine if Zhao hadn't said anything, but once she started talking, Wang and Chen became even more upset.
As they were eating from the same pot, they couldn't quarrel with each other and just ate in silence.
Old Mrs. Jiang felt as if she was stabbing her eyes when she saw Zhao's current state. "If you can't speak, don't speak. I can't even shut you up when I eat!"
Zhao's smiling face suddenly fell, but she didn't dare to argue with Old Lady Jiang, so she could only start eating obediently.
Jiang Qingyi shook her head slightly in a place where no one could see. She couldn't understand why the Zhao family was trying to make their presence felt under such circumstances.
Since my family doesn’t farm or raise livestock, there is not much we can do.
The two sisters-in-law are busy all day long making money for the family. It would be fine if she did nothing since she is still young and pregnant, but she even speaks to show her superiority. Is she really afraid that others will not have enough opinions about her? !
Everyone had their own thoughts about this meal.
In the afternoon, everyone was relatively silent while working, and there was no longer the joyful atmosphere as before.
Zhao, who caused all this, was still completely unaware.
Jiang Dahai saw it and was anxious. He had told Zhao many times, but she wouldn't listen. He could only do more work at this time.
The weather was pretty good today. While others were working, Zhao took a bench and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun with a handful of peanuts in her hand.
Compared with others, Zhao seemed too leisurely.
……
In the next few days, Jiang Dahe and Jiang Dahai went to the East District to buy raw materials. There were more people there and many more butchers than here. Although several butchers were willing to sell them the offal at a low price, they were unwilling to sign the documents.
Jiang Dahe was anxious but had no choice but to walk farther every day to buy raw materials.
The butchers in the southeast area were not anxious on the first day when Jiang Dahe and his family did not go to buy offal. But when they did not go for seven or eight days in a row and the Jiang family did not stop setting up their stalls, they started to get anxious.
This sewage has a strong smell that cannot be removed no matter how you treat it. Ordinary people would not buy this stuff, and in the past sewage would be thrown away.
They were also happy to buy from the Jiang family before, as earning this money was like getting it for free.
However, there was a greedy butcher who wanted to make more money, so he joined forces with other families to raise the price, thinking that this would allow him to control the Jiang family.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang family never came again after coming once, and the offal on their stall was thrown away every day.
I didn’t think much of it before when I couldn’t sell it for money, but now that I’m throwing it away I feel like it’s all pure silver.
Now all the butchers around are regretting their decision. Why did they raise the price when things were going well? Now no one wants to come.
A few days later, one of the butchers could no longer sit still, and he went straight to the Jiang family's braised food stall.
Jiang Dashan and his companions were not involved in the purchase of raw materials, so they did not recognize that the person who came was the butcher who had sold the offal to them before.
When the butcher Li saw that the stall was not busy, he walked over to Jiang Dashan and said, "Brother, are you from Brother Jiang's family?"
Jiang Dashan looked at Li the Butcher warily and took a step to the side. "Are you okay?"
"I'm Li Sanqiang, the butcher in XX Alley. Everyone calls me Li the Butcher."
Jiang Dashan understood in his heart, but said bluntly, "I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be Li the butcher who sells offal for eight cents a pound."
Butcher Li felt a little embarrassed, but he was willing to do it for the money.
"Brother, we were wrong in this matter, but I was not the one who came up with this idea. I disagreed at first, but we have to be sociable in doing business, so..."
"So you don't plan to be sociable now?"
"In business, the key is profit. Now that profit is gone, who cares whether one is sociable or not? Brother Jiang, do you think this is true?"
Seeing that the stall was getting busy, Jiang Dashan was too lazy to argue with Li the butcher, so he said, "I don't care where the offal in my house comes from. If you really have an idea, come to my house this afternoon to find my brother!"
Li the butcher agreed with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Brother Jiang. I won't block the way here. You guys go ahead and do your work."
In the afternoon, Li the butcher really found the house. When Jiang Dahai saw it was him, he didn't give him a good look and didn't even want to let him in.
But Li the butcher came to the door with a smile on his face and something in his hand. Jiang Dahe couldn't stop him outside the door, so he finally let him in.
