Raiders of peasant girls

Chapter 188 First Day of Opening

Then I heard the woman from just now muttering, "My dear, is this really stir-fried vegetables? How tender and fragrant!"

"Auntie, isn't this just green vegetables!" Jingyao laughed, "This lard and fruit oil, just a little bit will smell delicious, let alone stir-fried vegetables now, if you want to stir-fry some radishes and sweet potatoes, then eat it It looks like braised pork with radish. How can we ordinary people eat meat every day, if we use this lard and fruit oil now, it will not satisfy our cravings!"

"The little girl is right. Let me taste the stir-fried greens first. If it's really good, I'll buy some back. It just so happens that there is no oil at home!"

"Okay" Jingyao responded, while paying attention to the tumbling of the spatula in her hand. Not long after, the people who were still discussing next to her saw Jingyao walking like them with a plate of emerald green vegetables, followed by the third son next to her. He took a pair of chopsticks.

Jingyao glanced at the third son, and the third son gave the chopsticks in his hand to the onlookers with a wink.Jingyao brought the vegetables to the woman first, with a smile on her face, "Auntie, try it!"

Seeing the emerald green vegetables, the woman looked very appetizing, so she picked up a large chopstick with her chopsticks, and then ate it under the expectant eyes of everyone.

"How does Auntie feel?"

When Jingyao asked this, the people next to her also looked at the woman expectantly.

"Okay, not bad, it really smells like meat!" The woman sighed.

"Try it for me too!" Seeing that the woman said it was good, the others rushed to try it too.So Jingyao just turned around half a circle, and the bottom of the plate was empty. Those who didn't get a bite were still a little regretful, wondering if it was true that the vegetables were as fragrant as meat.

Seeing that everyone recognized the authenticity of lard fruit oil, Jingyao thought about how to sell it, which was also the most concerned thing of the onlookers.

But if Jingyao didn't really know that woman, everyone would have thought she was a trustee, so she started asking again.

"Little girl, how do you sell this fruit oil?"

"As for this fruit oil, I sell it in cans in my shop. A can weighs five catties. This is for those whose homes are far away from Fucheng. There is also a kind of loose scale. You can make it yourself Bring the oil pot over and buy it by the catty. As for the price, it’s forty renminbi a catty, and the five catty of this jar is 200 renminbi, and I’m giving away this pot for nothing because I bought too many.” Actually, this pot is an ordinary crock pot. Because the prices in Lingnan are very cheap, such a big earthen jar can only be sold for ten yuan, but she buys a lot at a time, and the average price is only six or seven yuan.

"Why is it so expensive? It's even more expensive than pork! One catty of oil can buy two catties of pork." The woman was surprised.Pork in Lingnan is indeed much more expensive than in Lin'an, and it costs twenty cents a catty of pork.why?Because there are very few pigs in Lingnan, even if there is pork, it is wild boar from the mountains, but how easy is this wild boar to hunt?Therefore, wild boar meat is also very rare, and no matter where it is, it is rare and expensive.

"Auntie, it's true to say that, but think about it, how long can you eat two catties of pork when you go home, and how many mouthfuls can each family member share? But how long can you eat with one catty of oil? It’s better to eat meat-flavored dishes every day, or to eat authentic meat once.”

Hearing Jingyao's analysis, the woman thought that she was right, this oil must be put in every dish, doesn't this mean that she can eat meaty dishes every day?That's really satisfying.

"What the little girl said is right, then give me two catties like this!" After she finished speaking, she suddenly said angrily, "I'm really sorry, little girl, I forgot to bring the oil barrel today, so I will sell it tomorrow. It's close, just outside the city."

Jingyao rolled her eyes, thinking how could she easily let go of the first guest who wanted to join her?He hurriedly laughed, "Auntie, what a coincidence for you today, because today is our first day of opening, and you are the first person who wants to buy this oil. Then how about I give you an oil barrel for free? As for the others you will buy next Fruity, [-]% off on the first day of opening today!"

When she heard that the oil barrel was also given away, the woman was not to mention how happy she was, thinking that her mother-in-law would be happy to buy this oil back. "Okay, the girl will weigh me two catties! Thank you so much, girl!"

Seeing that the woman wants to buy it, the people next to her are also scrambling to buy it, for fear that they will be snatched away later.Because the first day was full of enthusiasm, Jingyao, Miao Cuilan and Feng Er had to come forward to help, but at night they were exhausted to death.

"Girl, this business is really good!" Miao Cuilan exclaimed, wiping the sweat off her head.

"Yeah, Sanmei, this business is really good." Dalang was scratching the side of the coin, and it was sold for about six hundred catties in a day, and many people from far away brought a jar back home.Those who are close to home also buy two or three catties all at once, but there are really few people who buy one catty to go home. "Six hundred catties, forty Wen a catty, that's 24 taels of silver."

Feng Er said from the side, "Don't be too happy, this is the first day that so many are sold, and the business will not be so good after that."

Jingyao nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'm afraid it will be flat in the future, but based on my purchasing power in Fucheng and the number of people in Fucheng and its suburbs, next time I can sell less than 12 catties, but I can sell it for three dollars a day." Four hundred catties should be enough. Calculated on the basis of three hundred catties, one day is [-] taels of silver, and after deducting the cost of various raw materials, labor and shop time, there is still a net profit of six taels of silver."

Dalang originally heard that he would not be able to earn as much as the first day, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but now he heard Jingyao's analysis, his eyes lit up, and he said, "If you can earn six taels of silver every day, pure Income, how much do you have to earn in that month?" The abacus crackled, "180 taels a month, can you earn back the money you bought the shop in almost two months?"

"Yes, but the premise is that no one finds out what raw materials we use!" Feng Er said.

"Yes, but it costs money to build an oil workshop, and my goal is not just Lingnan. So even if the existing oil workshops in Lingnan know about it, I don't care. There are so many places in the country! And Some people have to purchase raw materials to open an oil workshop, and the common people can choose to plant lard fruit trees or go to the mountains to pick them, so that their lives will be improved accordingly. This is what I want. And my ultimate goal is the above He will give me what I want only if I can bring more and more benefits to Lingnan, and Lingnan will get better and better under my influence."

Jing Yao's words were ambiguous, but it did not prevent Feng Er Dalang from understanding.Everyone knew that Jing Yao was referring to the current one.As for Miao Cuilan, they didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but they consciously didn't ask.
