  Chapter 112 Chen Family's Future Business

  Chen Qi's method is very simple, that is, outside the store, two drying racks are made on the sidewalk, and a thick bamboo is placed in the middle.

   Then on the pole, all pheasants, wild ducks, hares, and old valley chicken legs were hung out.

   There are two rows above and below, dozens of various kinds of preserved meat sauces are hung there, instantly attracting the attention of people coming and going on the road.

  Silly big sister and Chen Qi were busy hanging out the cured meat, while Lan Lijuan helped write a promotional slogan on a piece of red paper.

   Lan Lijuan was also worried that her handwriting was too ugly. After all, she had never learned brush calligraphy systematically, but what Chen Qi wanted was this kind of "simplicity".

   You must know that the advertisements of the Chen family's shop are self-produced and sold. If you make it too formal, it will be troublesome when the red sleeves come to the door.

  Now the neighbors know that the newly moved family is from the mountains and bought a house with the help of relatives, so it is normal to sell some souvenirs now.

  Chen Qi knew that these neighbors must look down on his family in their hearts, so they might as well get home.

   Soon, Lan Lijuan’s slogan was written:

   "Self-produced and sold, authentic game, the quantity is not much, until sold out."

  As soon as the red paper was pasted at the door of the store, a group of middle-aged women gathered around, pointing at the preserved chicken and duck hanging at the door, and sniffing it from time to time.

   "Hey, how do you sell preserved chicken and preserved duck?"

  The silly elder sister didn't know how to write the word embarrassment, so she stood up and said with a smile:

   "Auntie, this is made of authentic pheasant and wild duck. We don't ask for an expensive price. The pheasant and duck cost 2 yuan per catty, while the hare and Laogu chicken cost 2.5 yuan per catty."

  2 yuan a catty, this is what Chen Qi has considered carefully. These days, a catty of pork costs 1.5 yuan with a ticket. If you go to the black market, the price is also around 2 yuan.

   The same is true for chicken and duck meat. Fresh ones cost 1 yuan and 60 cents, and the market price for a chicken weighing three or four catties is at least 5 or 6 yuan.

  The cured meat is dehydrated after being marinated, so the weight is reduced a lot, so adding salt money, marinating process money, and shipping costs add up, and it is not expensive at 2 yuan a catty, let alone game.

   Sure enough, these aunts became interested when they heard that it only costs 2 yuan a catty.

  As mentioned earlier, Vietnamese people tend to have a salty taste, and they especially like preserved meat sauce.

  So immediately an aunt brought out a preserved chicken she was satisfied with:

   "Come on, girl, help auntie weigh how much this chicken is."

  For the convenience of the silly elder sister, Chen Qi bought a platform scale on purpose. Put the goods on the pallet and hang the weight on it. Just move the scale horizontally, and the weight can be seen at a glance.

  The scales in the 1980s were all standard scales, but there would be no situation where you weighed 5 catties in the market and only weighed 4 catties when you got home.

  Silly big sister saw that there was business just after opening, and she was very happy:

   "Auntie, look, this chicken is 2 catties and 7 taels in total. I only charge 2 and a half catties. How about charging you 5 yuan?"

  The aunt was delighted when she heard it, she took advantage of it and paid 40 cents less, so she immediately took out the money:

   "Okay, I will steam it tonight and taste it. If it tastes good, I will help you sell it."

   "Okay, take your things, auntie, welcome to come again next time."

   An order was completed in the blink of an eye, which made Chen Qi stunned. He was worried that the silly old lady lacked a brain and was not sure whether she would be suitable for business. But now he found that the clown was himself.

  Big Sister has a somewhat socially obsessive personality, but at first glance she has a straightforward personality. It is very easy to gain the trust of ordinary people, and she is born to do business.

  The silly elder sister took the money. After looking at the 5 yuan note again and again, she thought it was so beautiful, and then carefully put it in the drawer.

  Seeing that the first order was sold, the aunts all rushed to pick up the preserved meat they were looking for and wanted to buy it.

   Seeing the bustling crowd, and seeing the happy appearance of the silly elder sister in the crowd while greeting and weighing things, Chen Qi also felt relieved.

  Finally found something for my eldest sister to do, and it was a small fortune business.

  Lan Lijuan was also surprised when she saw that the bacon business was so good. She is also from the mountains, so of course she knows that this kind of preserved chicken and duck is not worth much in the mountains.

   After all, they are all hunted or caught with traps. If you want to talk about the cost, the cost is the cost of salt. How much is it?

  As a result, the food from the mountain people was sold at a "sky-high price" in the city, which made her eyes shine all the time.

  If she can also sell the bacon at home, or go to the village to collect some bacon for sale, will she be able to earn a fortune for the family and allow her younger siblings to return to school? Can mothers reduce the stress of life?

   "Squad Leader Chen, how much profit do you think the eldest sister will make in this business?"

  Chen Qi saw that there was no one around, so he said softly:

   "Speaking of profits scares you to death. Let me just say that I received 1.5 yuan for the wax dog just now in the village. Is this price not a disadvantage for the people in the mountains?"

   Lan Lijuan nodded. A chicken costs 1.5 yuan, which is definitely not cheap in the mountains. You must know that the work points for a month were only 10 yuan.

"I received a chicken for 1.5 yuan, weighing 2.5 catties, and I sold it for 5 yuan, so I had a net profit of 3.5 yuan. Look at the Laogu chicken leg that the aunt wants to buy, at least 7 catties, 2.5 yuan per catty costs 17 yuan, but my purchase price is only 5 yuan, and the profit is 12 yuan."

  Lan Lijuan's eyes are about to starve, and her monthly subsidy is only 10 yuan.

   "Wow, Squad Leader Chen, making so much money? It's unbelievable."

  Chen Qi shook his head:

"That's me, other people's business can't be counted in this way. Our family has a storefront and saves rent. The eldest sister is a salesperson and saves workers' money. In addition, there is a big head of transportation. We have to find someone to pick from the mountains. Come out, and then go to Keqiao Town to transport it to the city by boat, do the math, how much will it cost?"

  In any business, logistics is the big head, and this phenomenon will not be resolved even by 2022.

Many agricultural products have rotted in the field in the place of origin, and no one buys them for pennies or ten cents per catty, while urban residents pay several yuan per catty to buy vegetables, and even dozens of yuan per catty during the epidemic. Can't buy it yet.

  This is the reason why the cost of intermediate logistics is too high and transportation is difficult, resulting in such a huge price gap between the two ends.

   Doing business, you earn this price difference.

  Of course Chen Qi likes money. Only when he has money can he have the confidence to resist the invasion of sugar-coated bullets in the future, so as to not forget his original intention and be a good doctor instead of a doctor with red envelopes.

  The Chen family’s small shop on Lu Xun Road opened with bustle and bustle, but in the meeting room of the People’s Hospital, there was no sound.

  Everyone was sitting in their respective positions and puffing away, only Qi Damin, the chief of the medical department, was emotional:

  "This kind of bad trend must be firmly opposed and severely punished!"
