Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 124 The middleman has delivered the information
The first batch of several hundred kilograms of hairtail was sold out in less than three days.
There were also many people who didn't buy any, or who felt that their cooking skills were not good enough and the fried hairtail fish was not tasty, so they specifically found Hu Qiongfang and asked her to fry a special pot for them no matter what.
This family wants ten kilograms, that family wants twenty kilograms. Some are for themselves, and some are intended to be shared with relatives.
Jiang Cheng, who was on holiday on the weekend, was taking a piece of draft paper and writing down "orders" for Hu Qiongfang. After a day's work, his hands were sore from writing.
Even Tong Zhiyuan came to join in the fun and asked Hu Qiongfang to fry 30 kilograms of hairtail for him.
"You need so much? There are only three people in your family. Can you finish it?" Boss Tong's extravagant behavior made Hu Qiongfang worried again.
There is no woman to take charge of the household, so Boss Tong won’t go bankrupt by eating himself out of money, right?
Tong Zhiyuan smiled, leaned over to Hu Qiongfang and explained :
"It's not my own family, how can I cook? When the two little ones come back from vacation, they always bring them to your restaurant for dinner."
"I'm going to give these hairtail fish as gifts. I have two acquaintances at the oil depot who usually take good care of me. Whenever the diesel and gasoline prices are going to increase, they always tell me in advance and ask me to hurry up and get the oil. The hairtail fish you fried is really good, even better than the big restaurants in the city."
"I'll take 30 kilograms first, give 10 kilograms to their family, and 10 kilograms to the tanker driver who helps me haul oil."
Hu Qiongfang understood.
It was only after she started her business that she figured out all these tricks.
If you want to gain a foothold on the provincial road, it is not enough to just cook delicious food and provide good quality and low price.
Even though she has two older brothers and a godsister to take care of her, she has still given away a lot of things in the past six months.
Knowing that Boss Tong bought the hairtail fish as a gift, Hu Qiongfang did not dare to delay him. Besides, there were many people who had ordered fried hairtail fish this time. Instigated by Jiang Tian, Hu Qiongfang became bolder and simply asked the truck driver for a truckload of goods.
A truckload contains 10,000 jin of hairtail, but it is cheaper to buy the whole truckload than by boxes. In total, the cost price of 10,000 jin of hairtail is about 1,600 yuan.
After the truckload of hairtail arrived, Han Jisong could finally sell the goods.
The cold winter came suddenly, in just half a month. The last time we met, Jiang Tian was still wearing a sweater, but this time, she was even wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket.
It snowed last night and the ground was slippery in the morning. Han Jisong borrowed a donkey cart from somewhere.
He originally wanted to ask Jiang Tian to order 200 kilograms of hairtail first. Perhaps because he saw that her fried hairtail was selling so well in the past few days, he was worried that this large truck of frozen hairtail would not be enough for Hu Qiongfang to sell, so he gritted his teeth and ordered 20 boxes at a time.
One box weighs 20 kilograms, and 20 boxes weigh 400 kilograms!
Jiang Tian gave Han Jisong a wholesale price of 22 cents per pound. He took the fish to a stall in town and sold it at 45 cents per pound. After selling all 400 pounds of hairtail, he could earn more than 80 yuan.
Although it was a bit hard work, it was impossible to dig up eels in this season. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well set up a stall to sell hairtail. He could earn more than 80 yuan after working hard for a few days. Han Jisong was very satisfied with this new job.
However, what Jiang Tian didn't expect was that Han Jisong's methods were so wild.
The first time Han Jisong bought frozen hairtail from her, he sold it out in two big markets.
The second time he came, he asked Jiang Tian directly if the price could be cheaper if he could get half a truck of hairtail.
"Half a truck? Five thousand kilograms of hairtail? Can you sell that much by yourself?"
Han Jisong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can find someone to help me sell the fish."
Are you going to be a middleman?
Jiang Tian thought about it and gave him a price:
"I'll give you two cents at most!"
At 20 cents per pound, he could resell it to grocery stores in other towns and make 8 cents per pound, which was not a small amount.
"Then I won't be polite to you, Jiang Tian, thank you for being willing to help me make this money."
Han Jisong suddenly started to thank her, making Jiang Tian feel embarrassed.
Well, little brother, you really don't have to thank me. I made three cents from this pound of frozen hairtail fish.
After finishing the business, Han Jisong looked around, pulled Jiang Tian aside, and gave her an extra big melon -
"It seems that the girl from your aunt's family got involved with a cadre from our town's grain station."
"Well, it's up to you. Do you want to tell your aunt?"
"Actually, if you ask me, I don't have to say anything, but your relative is really a piece of shit. The cadre at the grain station already has a wife and children, but he still sleeps with her..."
Han Jisong didn't know why he was so unlucky. Didn't he run to the town to set up a stall before dawn just to get a good spot?
Why did he have to catch Jiang Huihui having an affair with Director Wang from the grain station?
These two people are really unrefined. In the middle of winter, they are not afraid of the cold and are actually in the barn behind the grain station... Tsk tsk! They don't even mind the dirt.
However, there is no need to tell Jiang Tian these dirty details.
Han Jisong was not a talkative person, but Jiang Tian and the Hu family were very nice to him. Han Jisong was worried that if this matter was exposed, it would cause trouble for Jiang Tian's aunt. Even if he didn't buy any goods today, he wanted to make a special trip to tell her the news.
Jiang Tian was speechless after hearing this.
Is this definitely her aunt’s biological sister?
Jiang Xiuxiu is such an honest person. Not to mention stealing, she has never even stolen a needle from others in her life.
I didn't expect that my biological sister would be so brave...
This matter was so horrifying, and it also involved a township official. Jiang Tian did not dare to hide it and could only go to her grandmother first.
As soon as Grandma Hu heard it, she knew something bad was going to happen.
"In a place like the countryside, if someone's dog barks a few times in the middle of the night, the whole village will know about it the next day, let alone something like this? I think your aunt's sister is going to get into big trouble."
Jiang Xiuxiu heard that her second sister was still not at peace after returning to her parents' home, and that she failed with Boss Tong and then hooked up with the cadres at the grain station. She became completely shaky.
However, this time, Grandma Hu refused to let her go back to her parents' home to report the news.
"Ask Jianguo to ride his bike back to deliver a letter. Let your parents take care of what to do."
Grandma Hu was really fed up with her in-laws' sticky nature.
Knowing that her daughter is not honest and has evil intentions, she should either beat her up and lock her up, or find a man who can control her and marry her off quickly. Why should she keep her at home?
Fortunately, Jiang Xiuxiu and Jiang Yanyan are already married. If these two girls are not married yet, and there is a scandal about sisters having affairs with married men, who would dare to marry a daughter of the Jiang family in the future?
In any case, Grandma Hu was determined not to let her daughter-in-law be slandered.
The best way is to let the eldest daughter-in-law not return to her parents' home for the time being.
If there is anything, just let your son go to his mother-in-law's house.
What? You said you missed your daughter?
Okay, first make arrangements for your second daughter, who is the reincarnation of a troublemaker, and don't bring anything dirty or smelly into the house. When Jiang Xiuxiu goes back to her parents' home, who knows how many bad things will be said outside.
