selling chili peppers in chronology

=============================

It was already dark after dinner, Chen Chen went to find Du Xingwei only the next day.

Well, it was time for lunch.

At that time, the dishes were already on the table, one serving of fried hare meat, one serving of pickled cabbage and shredded radish.

Seeing Chen Chen coming over, Du Xingwei was a little surprised, "Why are you here now?"

Chen Chen seldom came to him during the meal time, oh, the abnormal meal time does not count.

Chen Chen put the bamboo basket in his hand aside, "I have something to do with you."

Du Xingwei turned around and went to the kitchen to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked as he walked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Chen uncovered the cloth on the bamboo basket, then took out a can of fermented soya bean pepper and unscrewed the lid.

This black bean chili was made for the Chen family to taste a few years ago. Later, each family scooped up some to eat, and the rest were kept sealed in a large glass jar.Although the relationship between the two was different, since they were here to discuss business, they had to bring samples anyway, so Chen Chen packed a few jars in glass jars and brought them over.

Chen Chen lifted the thing in his hand, "This."

Du Xingwei took a look, "Chili?"

Chen Chen responded, "Yes."

The two had already talked about this batch of tempeh chili peppers, but at that time the things hadn't been made yet, so they didn't say much, so when Chen Chen mentioned it again this time, Du Xingwei was still a little surprised, "It's already done. Out?"

"No." Chen Chen said: "I have been making preparations before, and now I have almost all the things I need, so I plan to take advantage of the time when it is not the busiest, and quickly make all these black bean peppers, Otherwise, when the winter wheat starts to be harvested, there will be a lot of things in the successive fields, and there will be no time to take care of the peppers, not to mention the spring peppers must have a place to put them after they can be picked."

Du Xingwei nodded, and asked again: "When is it expected to be ready?"

Chen Chen said: "Look at the quantity, but it will take less than a few days in total."

Du Xingwei was surprised, "So fast?"

Chen Chen said: "It's okay."

Bad peppers take time to ferment, but tempeh peppers don't need it, so as long as the materials are ready, they can be shipped quickly.

Du Xingwei asked: "How many peppers can you give me this time?"

"Taste it first." Chen Chen went to the kitchen and brought a spoon, and put it in a glass jar to scoop up chili. "It just so happens that what you made today is steamed buns. This black bean chili dipped in steamed buns is very good."

Following Chen Chen's example, Du Xingwei scooped a spoonful of fermented soy peppers into a bowl, then dipped them in steamed buns, and took a bite. It was a little spicy at first, followed by the aroma of fermented soya bean, pepper and numbness, and a special smell. The taste described in the description jumps into the lips and tongue, and the taste is very rich. It is paired with the fragrant white flour steamed buns, which are spicy and fragrant, very enjoyable.

Du Xingwei's eyes lit up when he ate it, and he took three or two mouthfuls of steamed buns before saying, "Sure enough, it's just like what you said before, this black bean pepper really tastes different from the black bean sauce I thought."

Chen Chen laughed, "If it tastes like ordinary fermented soybeans, then what kind of business am I going to do?"

Du Xingwei thought about it, "It's more flavorful than the oily chili you made before."

"Of course." Chen Chen said, "The oily chili peppers in the past just put some ginger and garlic in it, but this time the black bean chili peppers are both fermented soy sauce and various spices. If the taste is the same as oily chili peppers, why should I bother?"

The truth is true, so Du Xingwei didn't ask any more questions about the taste. Just by the way he dipped every bun on the table with chili, you can tell that he likes the black bean chili very much.

The two of them didn't have the habit of eating and sleeping without talking, and they talked about business while eating, "How much do you plan to sell for a can of this black bean chili?"

Chen Chen had already calculated the cost and set the price during the trial production last year, so there was no reason to hesitate now, so he said, "One yuan and six cans."

Du Xingwei looked at the can of black bean pepper, "One piece six?"

Chen Chen asked: "Do you think it's expensive?"

Du Xingwei shook his head, "I feel less."

Chen Chen was puzzled, "Huh?"

Du Xingwei explained, "Not to mention anything else, but the oil in the black bean chili sauce is very expensive. Before, bad chili was sold for one yuan, which is a bit low in comparison."

Hearing this, Chen Chen smiled slightly, "I've calculated the cost, and I won't lose money."

The price of oil is not cheap, and it is really expensive to use oil to make chili sauce. In addition, the spices that do not exist in the bad chili are really found in the black bean chili. Even if they are not expensive spices, many of them are locally available. But it was bought with extra money, and the one with fermented soybeans had to be cooked separately...

Needless to say, the various costs add up to really not low.

But fermented bean chili sauce has an advantage, that is, it does not need to be fermented, does not need to use many jars, and does not need to occupy a large area. Such a large glass tank can hold hundreds of catties in one tank.If the buyers are stable, they can even ship products while making products, which is very friendly to their current situation of small land.

Besides, tempeh also takes up space and weight. If it is mixed with chili, less chili noodles will be used, and soybeans are much cheaper than rice wine cooked with white rice, which can reduce part of the cost in comparison.

So when these odds and zeros are added up, the price of one yuan and six is ​​about the same. Anyway, the Chen family is making a profit.

Hearing what Chen Chen said, Du Xingwei didn't say any more, anyway, no one would do business at a loss.

Du Xingwei only asked: "How much is the wholesale price?"

Chen Chen replied: "One yuan and five."

Du Xingwei was not surprised.

Previously, the wholesale price of bad chili was [-] cents lower than the retail price, but this time the black bean chili is the same as before, which is normal.

Du Xingwei was probably thinking about it, and he didn't mention this matter at the dinner table afterwards. After picking up the dishes and chopsticks and washing them in the kitchen, Du Xingwei asked, "How much do you have for soy bean and chili?"

Chen Chen had estimated earlier, "There should be fifteen thousand cans."

Du Xingwei frowned slightly, and Chen Chen couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"I remember..." Du Xingwei said, "According to the peppers you planted last year, excluding those used to make bad peppers, there should be tens of thousands of catties of peppers left untouched, right?"

"More than 5." Chen Chen said: "However, we can't make so many black beans and peppers for the time being."

Du Xingwei sensed something was wrong, "What's wrong?"

Chen Chen didn't hide it, "It takes oil to make tempeh and chili, but you also know that oil is not very easy to buy in our county. We went to the county yesterday and bought all the oil in their department store. It's not enough for us to do that. Tens of thousands of catties of peppers are temporarily short of oil."

Chen Chen said this in a calm tone, and Du Xingwei could tell that he was thinking about it, "Have you figured out a solution?"

Chen Chen hummed, "I plan to go to the provincial capital to see if I can find an oil mill to cooperate with."

Du Xingwei said: "This method works."

Chen Chen said with a smile: "The main reason is that I can't rely on the department store, otherwise it's too restrictive."

Of course Du Xingwei understands this truth, he pondered for a moment before saying: "There are three oil extraction factories in the provincial capital, which is quite a lot compared to other factories, two of them are state-owned factories, and one is privately owned, so there should be cooperation Chance."

Chen Chen asked: "Do you understand?"

Du Xingwei shook his head, "I'm not in the oil business, I just know about it."

Chen Chen wasn't disappointed, "Then I'll inquire about it later."

Du Xingwei said, "I'll go with you."

Chen Chen asked, "Are you free?"

Du Xingwei didn't answer, but instead said: "I went to the county to make a phone call to settle last year's accounts. Although the accounts haven't come out yet, all the bad peppers shipped last year have been sold out. Many people They are urging us to restock quickly. The fermented bean chili tastes different from the bad chili, but it is just as delicious. I would like to cooperate with Chen Shi again."

Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat, "Is it these soya bean peppers?"

Du Xingwei hummed, and said, "Although [-] cans is not a small amount, it's not enough. It just so happens that I know the provincial capital better than you. Solving the oil problem first will benefit our cooperation."

Chen Chen didn't know that Du Xingwei was simply trying to help himself, but after thinking about it, he still refused, "I'll go by myself."

Du Xingwei frowned, slightly dissatisfied.

Chen Chen reached out and stroked his brow, then kissed again, "Don't be upset, I'm not a child, I can solve problems myself."

Du Xingwei stretched out his arms to wrap around Chen Chen's waist, Chen Chen fell into his arms unexpectedly, Du Xingwei simply hugged him and sat on his lap.

The two usually cuddled and hugged each other, but it was the first time for them to sit on their laps, and Chen Chen felt uncomfortable in various ways.

But Du Xingwei didn't care. He touched Chen Chen's cheek and said, "I'm also thinking about my own business."

Chen Chen thought to himself that this was his partner's thigh, and it's okay to sit on it, so he ignored the unaccustomed, raised his head and said, "It's okay if you go with the people from the oil mill who know us, after all, it's easy to do things with acquaintances. The obvious resources are useless. But you are not familiar with them, not to mention that my family is already making tempeh chili, with a volume of about [-] cans, you probably have to arrange three trucks, and the price is up to you Busy, so you still go to busy with your own affairs, I will solve it on my own."

Du Xingwei lowered his eyes slightly, "Really no need?"

Chen Chen shook his head, "No need, everyone is busy. Didn't you say before that you have to check the accounts after the New Year? This time, you just sent the black beans and peppers, so there will be no delay."

Du Xingwei sighed in his heart, clasped Chen Chen's neck and pressed the person in front of him with a little force, hummed as he agreed, and then kissed him.
