The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 157 How do you know that I disdain your business?
The two found a tea stall. After sitting down, the man introduced himself cautiously: "My name is Jiang Er. I live in Sanli Village not far from Ningzhou..."

He pointed in the direction. Tao Zhen didn't know where Sanli Village was, but she nodded as if she knew: "Then what? Where did you get the beef?"

Of course Jiang Er couldn't say anything. He only said: "I have relatives outside the customs. They have cattle. Last year, many people froze to death in the snowy weather. Now is the time when the cattle are not available. They also want to sell some cattle and make some money." Money, my child is sick and I need to call a doctor..."

Tao Zhen took a sip of tea. She didn't really believe Jiang Er's words. This person should be a second-rate dealer who specializes in selling things from outside the customs, which is what the later world calls him.

Dashun does not allow the slaughter of farm cattle at will, and there are relevant regulations for the sale of beef. Cattle are allowed to be brought in from outside the customs for sale, but taxes must be paid, and the relevant procedures and various management are very troublesome.

Jiang Er's cattle should be smuggled in, or secretly raised by himself in the village.

“How much does your beef cost?”

A pound of beef on the market costs almost sixty cents. This is still in Ningzhou, but it is even more expensive in the capital.

Tao Zhen previously bought a pound of beef from a hawker for sixty cents. Later, the vendor raised the price by ten cents. Since Jiang Er went to Tao Zhen directly, it meant that he had been observing her for more than a day or two, and he naturally knew about her. The price of beef.

Tao Zhen waited for him to bid.

Jiang Er held the bowl and drank all the tea in one gulp. He said, "What you bought at Wang Jiang's was sixty cents per catty. How about I give you sixty cents too?"

Tao Zhen smiled and did not answer.

Jiang Er was a little unsure about her, and Tao Zhen said: "I only bought some temporary goods from him, so I don't really care about the few pennies. But if we cooperate for a long time, I will want a lot more. Sixty pennies, Isn’t it a little high?”

Jiang Er looked at her suspiciously: "How much can you want?"

Tao Zhen said: "It is indispensable after all."

In fact, there are many varieties of beef jerky, the ultra-dry one costs four pounds per pound, and the hand-shredded beef costs three pounds per pound. With this ratio, her beef jerky would have to sell for at least 240 yuan per pound to avoid losing money.

Sixty cents per pound of fresh beef is indeed a bit expensive, so Tao Zhen's customers will be Huo Xing and those around him.

But these people’s money does not come from the wind. If it is too expensive, they may not buy it. It is very important to control costs, and she also needs a long-term and stable supply of goods.

Perhaps Tao Zhen's attitude was too determined. Jiang Er thought for a long time before saying, "You bought the beef, but it will be difficult for me to deal with other things."

Tao Zhen smiled: "Why do I care so much about you? If your family can't do it, why don't I find a few more?"

Jiang Er "..."

Tao Zhen was right.

"Then I don't have to sell it to you. There are so many people in this market..."

Tao Zhen interrupted him: "If your beef is from Minglu, you can just set up a stall and sell it, why do you need to find me?"

Jiang Er "..."

He looked at Tao Zhen again. She was a thin girl. She was young and looked easy to bully. However, Jiang Er felt that it was just her appearance. Tao Zhen was extremely cunning. She was afraid that she didn't mean a word of what she had said before. She didn't believe it, but before she said it, she was waiting for him here.

Just as Tao Zhen said, Jiang Er really wanted to sell the thing as soon as possible, so he gave Tao Zhen a price of forty coins.

"We also have costs, and this is the lowest price."

"make a deal."

The two parties agreed on the place where they would get meat next time.
When Tao Zhen went back, he found Huo Xing here, drinking tea and chatting with Pei Zhan in the yard. The two seemed quite harmonious.

"Master Huo is here."

Tao Zhen said hello. Huo Xing turned around and was a little surprised to see Tao Zhen. They hadn't seen each other for a while. Tao Zhen seemed to have grown taller and his chin became a little pointier. I couldn't explain this feeling, but he looked better than before. , as if a little girl has grown up completely.

Pei Zhan walked over and took the things from Tao Zhen's hand: "Why are you back so early?"

Tao Zhen: "It's okay, just come back early." Pei Zhan: "Master Huo, come here to buy something."

Tao Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his attitude towards Huo Xing was a little warmer than before: "Master Huo, do you want to buy beef jerky?"

Huo Xing squinted his eyes and looked at her: "Yes."

"How much?"

Huo Xing really wanted a lot. After he gave the things away, many people turned around and asked him where he bought them. Later, they also went to the streets to look for them, but they didn't find any ancient records. Huo Xing said they were from I bought it in Fucheng. If they want to buy it, Huo Xing can help bring it.

Huo Xing didn't expect that these people were so greedy and wanted a lot. Among them were people he wanted to make friends with, so Huo Xing came.

It just so happened that Tao Zhen had done a lot in the past few days, and as if she was sure that Huo Xing would come to buy it, she had already packed it and asked Huo Xing to take it away directly, and even gave him a friendly price.

After Huo Zingxing, Tao Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief.

Huo Xing bought more than half of the inventory. If he didn't buy it, Tao Zhen could sell it, but it would take longer, and she also invested a lot of money in the early stage. Now not only has the cost been recovered, she has also made ten dollars. A few taels of silver had doubled in just a few days.

Pei Zhan looked at the money in her hand and asked, "How much did you earn?"

Tao Zhen said: "17 taels of silver, doubled."

Pei Zhan was also surprised.

He asked Tao Zhen: "Have you ever thought about expanding your business?"

Of course Tao Zhen thought about it, but...

"We still have less capital, and now our sales haven't opened up."

Pei Zhan said: "Can it be sold to Fucheng or even the capital?"

Tao Zhen looked up at him. Pei Zhan's thoughts coincided with hers, but this was Tao Zhen's future plan, and she didn't have the strength yet.

Pei Zhan was thoughtful.

Of course Tao Zhen knew what Pei Zhan said, but they only had so much money in their hands and they couldn't get back that much money in the short term from selling beef jerky.She also promised Yun Sanniang that she would use some money to invest.

Moreover, she is a little too busy on her own right now.

Pei Zhan also noticed that Tao Zhen had lost a lot of weight recently.

She needs help, someone she can trust.

It's hard to find such a person for a while, but Tao Zhen is not in a hurry. She doesn't like to take shortcuts and takes her time step by step.

What surprised her was that Pei Zhan was willing to help. She thought that Pei Zhan looked down on her business and thought she was just making a fuss.

Pei Zhan said: "How do you know that I don't care about your business?"

Tao Zhen thought about it seriously. It seemed like it had never happened. Ever since she started making snacks, although Pei Zhan didn't say anything, he had never objected. Moreover, Pei Zhan would even go to the temple fair to set up a stall or something, with a bullock cart. Pei Zhan was actually silently supporting me in picking up and dropping off, and later setting up a stall in the market.

Thinking about it this way, Tao Zhen felt surprised and a little touched.

She is afraid that someone will hold her back when doing things, but everything she has done this year has gone smoothly, and it is also inseparable from the support and trust of the Pei family. The whole family thinks in the same place, works hard in the same place, and it feels like starting a career together. very good.

"Thank you." Tao Zhen said sincerely.

Pei Zhan was startled, then smiled.
