Tian Xiaoli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Since her mother asked this question, her father naturally wouldn't put his hand into his pocket. He stared at her intently. Tian Xiaoli told him everything in a helpless manner.
"Dad, mom, this is what happened. The business of the scallion and garlic sprouts was given to Xie Meng, and the business of the fish was given to me. Now, the two of you should think about it. Should we do this business or not?
If he was going to do it, he would call the glass shop owner after dinner and make a glass fish tank. He would also sell things like aerators. I think Xie Meng will come to our house after dinner, and then we'll go to Mou Lin's house together.
I cooked the fish today according to what Brother Mou Lin taught me. Maybe our pot is not good enough. His family used a firewood stove from the countryside. The fish that was cooked and the fish that was fried were really delicious.
Xie Meng and I are stuffed. After dinner, I'm going to go out to buy a big stew barrel and see if there are any chicken sprouts in the farmer's market. If there are, I'll buy them and send them to Mou Lin's brother's house.”
Tian Xiaoli's mother frowned." Xiaoli, this fish is indeed quite good. Isn't giving us only two yuan interest a little too little?”
Tian Xiaoli's father was quite open-minded." Hehe, that's quite a lot. A fish is several kilograms. That way, we can earn a few to more than ten yuan. After we get it back, we can only sell it once. Besides, we're very familiar with Boss Zhang of Jiangnan Restaurant. If he knew that this was river fish, he definitely wouldn't lower our price.
The girl was right. If no one wants to buy this fish, we can just keep it in the fish tank to attract customers. We just need to get less fish from Mou Lin, who the girl mentioned. Anyway, he keeps them in the pond.
If we can sell one more fish, we will earn more money. If we can't sell it, our family won't lose anything. As long as we sell this fish well, our shop's reputation will spread.
The most important thing is the paddy fish in the paddy field. That's the good stuff. The girl did a good job this time. If we can really get the paddy fish, our family can earn a lot of money.”
Tian Xiaoli's mother did some calculations in her heart. On the surface, the profit of two yuan was a little small, but if she really did a good job in this business, the profit would be considerable. It would be easy and pleasant to get hundreds of thousands of yuan a year.
Xie Meng did the same thing as Tian Xiaoli when she got home. Her father was the manager of a shopping mall and the boss at the same time. He had eaten out countless times. Just by eating, looking, and smelling, he immediately knew the quality of the garlic sprouts and shallots that his daughter had brought back.
"Mengmeng, tell Daddy, what's your ideal price?”
Xie Meng organized her words in her heart. Now that they were talking about serious matters, it was like reporting to her superiors in the mall.
"Dad, Mom, here's what I think. The green onions are now 20 yuan per catty, and the fire onions are 8 yuan per catty. Mou Lin's younger brother's scallion was much more fragrant than the four seasons scallion.
According to the normal price, the price of the scallion should be 50 yuan per catty, so I think the price for Mou Lin is 30 yuan per catty.
In this case, I don't think Brother Mou Lin will say anything. I reckon that if he sells it at Jiangnan Restaurant, the owner of Jiangnan Restaurant might only give him 30 yuan per catty at first.
However, after Mou Lin's brother's fire onions became famous, that might not be the case. Because if many people came to snatch it at the same time, it might form a situation where the rarer the item, the more expensive it would be. Naturally, the price would increase.
I think if more customers come to our shop because of the shallots and garlic sprouts, then we can slowly increase the price for Brother Mou Lin.
It would be best if he could satisfy Mou Lin's younger brother and eventually achieve a monopoly. If the turnover of our shop is because of the spring onions and garlic sprouts, and there are too many people coming to our shop to buy them, and our younger brother Mou Lin knows about this, and we won't raise the price for him, so he has other ideas about our behavior, then I'm afraid it's not good.
Although he was only 16 years old this year, he would be able to get a driver's license in two years. In these two years, if someone sees that our business is good, they will definitely send someone to follow me. In that case, Mou Lin's brother will be exposed.
If someone else offers a high price, what happens next might really be out of our control.”
Xie Meng's father and mother looked at each other. They wouldn't say anything so easily. This was a good time to educate their daughter. "Alright, our daughter has grown up. It's good for her to think about problems. What are you going to do after that?"
Her parents didn't deny what she said, which made Xie Meng's heart relax.
"Haha, Tian Xiaoli and I have discussed this. From now on, we will be stationed at Mou Lin's brother's house for a long time. Firstly, we will supervise the other villagers of Yang Village. Secondly, we will wait for the right time.
Previously, no one knew where I got these scallion and garlic sprouts from. I left Mou Lin's brother's house at 4:30 in the morning, and when I got home, it was about 5:00 or 5:30.
After unloading the goods, he ran to Mou Lin's brother's house and hid there, not letting anyone know. If others find out, I'll change the time and come back at ten o'clock in the evening. I'll unload the vegetables and run again.
In that case, other businesses would not know where my vegetables came from. If I stay in the shop after sending the vegetables back, other shops will definitely target me. That way, others will know my movements.”
"Hehe, the business world is like a battlefield. This is a good idea. You even know how to fight guerrilla warfare. Anyway, you don't have much to do in the shop, so I'll let you arrange it however you want. However, I have to say this first. It's okay to stay at Mou Lin's house, but you can't cause trouble for his family, understand?”
Xie Meng's mother didn't want to do that. After all, Xie Meng had reached the age of marriage. It wouldn't be good if he continued to mingle like this for a long time.
"No, I don't agree. What's the point of staying in someone else's house for a long time? How are you going to get married then? Although our family's business isn't very good now, it's still acceptable. He would not lack that bit of profit at all. Reputation was the most important thing. Finding a good husband was the most important thing.”
Xie Meng was dumbfounded. She didn't know how to answer her mother.
"Honey, you don't have to make things too complicated." Xie Meng's father quickly said. Mou Lin was only sixteen years old, and Mengmeng was with that girl, Xiao Li. What could they have?
After this year's business was done, he would let them come back next year. I believe that after a year of operation, all the output of Yang Village will stabilize.
If they were good, it would be impossible for others to buy their agricultural products at a high price. However, Mengmeng, your mother is right.
You can't stay at Mou Lin's house every day. How about this? Dad will give you an idea. When the weather is clear, you can stay at Uncle Tian's house. If you go to Mou Lin's house when it rains, no one will be watching you then.
Be careful on the road. The roads in the countryside are not easy to walk on. If the rain is too heavy, don't send food. It's dangerous.”
"Dad, Mom, what did you say about the grain in the Mou Lin family? What is the price in your hearts?”
"Hehe, it's really hard to say. If it's exactly like what you said, then it's not too much to pay five yuan per catty. However, our shop only sells rice. We don't sell grains at all. Moreover, the grain had to be processed after being bought, which was very troublesome. I think it's better to forget about it. Let's not do this business. Whoever wants to do it can do it.”
"Haha, dad, you don't know, but there's also a small rice house in Yang Village where Mou Lin's brother lives. We can completely pack the grains in the rice house and transport them back.
Don't you know how delicious the food at Mou Lin's house is? Xiao Li and I are fighting to eat. After a meal, there's no one who doesn't eat.
If it were up to me, we could even pay him eight yuan per catty of grain. After processing it into rice, there should be people who would buy it at 12 to 15 yuan per catty. If we let others do this business, our family will suffer a huge loss.
"You don't know, but his field has ten acres. Looking at the growth of the rice, it will definitely be a bumper harvest this year. The yield per mu should be 1,200 to 1,500 catties.
Think about it, if others knew about such a huge number and did it, wouldn't they laugh their heads off? I think we should leave this field of rice for Mou Lin's family to eat for a year, and we'll take the rest.
They will definitely take the high-end route. This way, our store's taste can also be improved.”
Xie Meng's mother looked at Xie Meng up and down with a complicated expression, then let out a long sigh." Hey, daughter, how nice would it be if you were the same age as Mou Lin?”
