Chapter 26 You can be a businessman, but you can’t be a profiteer
Shui Qing expressed his idea of acquiring Jitou Mi.
Fan Jin stood there in a daze, and it took him a while to recover.
Their landscape villages have many hills and waters, and there are so many aquatic plants that they need to be salvaged and cleared every year, among which chicken head rice is the most common.
Although it is food that can fill the stomach, it is too difficult to peel, so people in the village only get it when they have free time after the autumn harvest.
I just couldn't think of it, "Shui Qing, you are indeed one hundred and twenty-one pounds? That means one pound of fresh chicken head rice can buy fifty or sixty rice, right?"
Bamboo mushrooms and skirt mushrooms are expensive. Shui Qing said they have high nutritional value. He doesn't know whether they are nutritious or not, but he knows that these two kinds of mushrooms are indeed delicious.
But chicken head rice is different.
It has no taste, no taste at all. When it is fresh, it can be said to have a faint fragrance of aquatic plants, but after it is dried, it is just hard.
"I'm sure, sure! In fact, the price of hand-peeled chicken head rice is higher, but that's Su Qian from the Jiangnan area;
Our Shanshui Village is from Guangqian in the south, and the price is dozens of yuan a pound cheaper than that. Shui Qing explained smoothly.
The fresh chicken head rice is sweet and refreshing. Boil the water for one minute and quickly remove it. It is fresh and chewy. Add a spoonful of homemade osmanthus honey and mix well. After eating, you will have a lingering fragrance in your mouth that you will never forget!
It takes water to pick chicken head fruits, and it is not easy to peel the small and hard-shelled chicken head rice one by one. The labor cost alone is the biggest expense.
Delicious, small quantity, pollution-free and purely handmade from the wild. Is it expensive?
Not expensive at all for those who love to eat!
Money can't buy a piece of cake, but the most important thing is that Chinese people are always willing to give up when it comes to food!
It’s okay for people who don’t like to eat. The quantity is small and demand exceeds supply.
Fan Jin was extremely satisfied with the current price. He smiled with satisfaction and said: "Maybe the place has been carefully taken care of and the quality is better. It is normal for the price to be higher."
He was very content. Shui Qing said that there was delicious rice in the mall, but it only cost five or six yuan a pound.
When I earn money, I will buy delicious rice for Shuiqing.
And he felt that the rice Shuiqing bought yesterday for less than two yuan a pound was already particularly delicious.
Thinking of something, Fan Jin asked worriedly: "Shui Qing, you said it, one pound of chicken head rice can be exchanged for dozens of pounds of rice, thank you, will it lead to bankruptcy in the future?"
When Shui Qing heard Fan Jin's question, he thought it was really a scholar's idea.
She said in a businesslike manner: "Are you worried about losing money? What are you thinking about? This is a mall that really knows how to do business!
It collects all-natural, labor-intensive food, and also sells various items with a large production volume. The business is all done by it, but it makes money every time it buys and sells. "
The mall is equivalent to her Taobao and Taoduo. You can be a merchant to sell things, and you can also be a buyer to buy things.
The advantage is that they don't have to do it themselves, they can sell it with approval, which is more convenient.
Fan Jin relaxed when he heard that he would not lose money and could still make money.
He smiled gently and said: "It's good if it can make money. Then let's collect chicken heads and rice from Duoduo and buy items at Duoduo to make it make more money."
The mall is so good, he hopes the mall can make a lot of money.
Shui Qing and Fan Jin have unprecedentedly consistent views on this point!
After all, the mall makes money because she makes money.
In this backward and impoverished ancient times, the mall was her food and clothing provider!
It is the foundation for her to settle down and live her life.
Thinking of this, she said to Fan Jin: "I gave it a rough thought before you came back. It's most cost-effective for us to exchange things for things."
In the memory I accepted, you only need money to buy items when you go to Fucheng. There are markets held every five days in the village and Niutou Town, where you can exchange items for what you need.
Among them, eggs, rice, and flour are hard currencies and can be used as corresponding coins.
As for money, they don't have that much, and they have to buy things from the mall and sell them to cash out.
Simply exchanging items for items eliminates the need to cash out.
Fan Jin also thought about it and nodded in approval, "That's true. If it's money, we don't have that much. We still need to go to Fucheng to sell things and earn money before we can give it to them.
Shui Qing, I have an idea, do you think it will work? "
"you say."
Fan Jin organized the words in his mind and said as briefly and clearly as possible: "We exchange grains. The grains are bought directly from the mall. A pound of chicken heads and rice can be exchanged for several kilograms of grain;
Food is durable in storage and can be sold for money or exchanged for needed items during large gatherings. It is most practical and useful to people in the village;
Let’s say that a classmate of mine from a wealthy family has a restaurant at home and needs to collect a lot of chicken head rice to make sweet water and pastries. However, his family has a lot of fields and a good grain harvest. He wants to give priority to using grain in exchange. If he agrees, he will exchange it.
Tomorrow, I will rent a bullock cart and come back. We will buy the grain and transport it to the village for distribution. What do you think? Is it possible? "
When it came to the latter part, Fan Jin was unsure and asked cautiously.
What Shui Qing wants is to do it in the name of Fan Jin!
In any case, Fan Jin is a scholar. Although he was not even admitted as a scholar, he studied and came into contact with different people and different levels.
They don't need to cling to others, they just need to borrow the name of 'classmate'!
"It's pretty good, let's exchange it for rice!"
Fan Jin asked blankly: "Isn't it millet and corn? People in the village are reluctant to eat rice. How many pounds can be gained by exchanging millet?"
Shui Qing asked, "Do you know how much millet costs per pound?"
Fan Jin shook his head.
It’s good to think that rice is less than two yuan a pound. Isn’t millet even cheaper?
Shui Qing explained his doubts in a funny way: "Ordinary millet costs four to five yuan per catty, and one catty of millet can buy two catties of rice;
Organic millet costs 17 to 18 yuan per pound, which can buy 8 to 9 pounds of rice. Would you like to exchange it for rice or millet? "
Whole grains were not valuable in ancient times, but Chinese people pursue health. It is normal for whole grains to be more expensive than rice and white flour in shopping malls.
Fan Jin opened his mouth in surprise.
Millet is so much more expensive than rice!
He asked confusedly: "What is organic?"
Why is there such a big price difference between organic and organic products? Are they very good products?
Well, you can buy some water to drink...
Shui Qing explained in an easy-to-understand manner: "It's just like what you grow here."
No chemical fertilizers are used, but farmyard manure, no pesticides, and the soil is not polluted.
Isn't this just like the millet grown in Shanshui Village?
Fan Jin was silent.
After a while, he said resolutely: "In exchange for rice! Just say that my classmate grows the most rice." If the villagers are reluctant to eat rice, they can just exchange it when they go to the market.
The two also reached an agreement on the number of pounds of rice.
It was agreed that two and a half kilograms of rice would be exchanged for one kilogram of fresh chicken head rice.
This weight is determined after many considerations.
Rice is nine cents per catty, and fresh chicken head rice from Fucheng is only twelve or thirty cents per catty at most. If you give too much, it is inconsistent with common sense, and you may cause unnecessary trouble later;
After all, they earn a lot, and they don’t want to give at a low price. They may be businessmen, but they don’t want to be profiteers.
