Chapter 1715 Make it clear that there is something tricky
"When it comes to food, I really have an idea, but it's still a bit immature. When I get it done, I'll let you know and let you try it to see if you want to put it in the store," Ye Yuran said.
It's none other than chili peppers.
She gained a lot from last year’s harvest.
If it is just the store in Anjiu Town, it is completely sufficient, but if it is used in other branches, it will be a bit stressful.
Moreover, she doesn't want to "expose" the existence of chili as an ingredient yet, so she plans to think of a way to blend it and make it into a semi-finished product, which is easy to keep confidential and store, and has a unique secret recipe, so she won't have to worry about losing business.
Mr. Sun and Brother Bao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that she had something new: "Really?! Aunt Zhu, you have to step up. Whether our store can become popular depends on you."
"Don't worry, we can definitely get it done, but time is a bit tight, and I have other time to be busy, so you have to wait." Ye Yuran thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The festive season is a time for family reunions, so taking advantage of this time to introduce new food will definitely be popular.”
"How could it be possible that what you, Aunt Zhu, made are bad?" Mr. Sun touched his beard and said with a smile, "Then I will be waiting for your good news."
After the matter of opening a branch was settled, Master Sun left. For a while, only Ye Yuran and Brother Bao were left in the box.
Brother Bao was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhu, for letting you stay a little longer. Mr. Sun was here just now, so I couldn't say..."
"You don't want to talk about Mrs. Jia, do you?" Ye Yuran guessed.
Apart from this person, she really couldn't think of anything else that Brother Bao wanted to talk to her about.
"Well, that's it." Brother Bao said, "In fact, Mrs. Jia is also involved in this branch, but she is not involved in the restaurant we cooperate with Mr. Sun, but in the grocery store..."
He explained that in addition to restaurants, he also wanted to open a grocery store selling sundries.
It happened that so many sweet potatoes were grown in Zhujiacun last year. He was not worried about the quantity of sweet potato flour at all and wanted to put some in the grocery store.
"You didn't tell Mr. Sun?" Ye Yuran frowned slightly and said, "We agreed to partner together before, and now you suddenly said that you want to cooperate with another person. What if Mr. Sun finds out from others?
Will you be unhappy?"
"Don't worry about this. I've already said hello. In addition to opening the restaurant together, we can each find people for other stores, as long as they are not competitors..." Brother Bao said, "Mr. Sun also opens other stores.
It’s just that he didn’t find a partner, he opened it by himself. Then he would eat from you and then sell it in that shop to attract some customers.”
Ye Yuran knew about this matter.
Mr. Sun has been in business for so many years, so he must have more than one type of shop under his name.
So he opened a restaurant with them in partnership, but he also bought goods from her and sold them in other stores.
"I'm different from Mr. Sun. I just started a business. I started from scratch and have to start over. So I want to open a store with Mrs. Jia, and I also want to buy goods from you."
"How much do you want?"
"Look at how much you can give me. Apart from the restaurant and your own sales in Pushou City, I guess you won't have much left now. Give me whatever you have left."
"Are you sure you can eat it?" Ye Yuran said, "Isn't your and Mrs. Jia's store not open yet?"
"It's okay, I can't eat anymore. I can find a way to deal with it." What Brother Bao didn't say was that since he started doing business, many people have inquired about the origin of sweet potato noodles and wanted a piece of the pie.
Of course he didn't say anything, but he didn't completely reject it either.
If he can't "eat" it himself, he does consider "transiting" it himself and then reselling it to those people.
"Okay, since it's your way, I won't ask any more questions. Anyway, according to the old rules, I will charge you how much it costs for others to purchase goods from me, and I won't let you suffer."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhu."
…
After coming out of the teahouse, Ye Yuran was very happy. Fortunately, she asked Li Zheng and the clan leader to agree to plant sweet potatoes in other villages this year. Otherwise, there would be so many sales and the small output of Zhujia Village would be too much.
No way, who told her that the food that uses sweet potatoes as raw materials now is not just sweet potato powder, but also other things?
Oh, by the way, everyone seems to be planting potatoes too, right?
Does she have to take potato chips into consideration too?
Or, Oden?
Ye Yuran frowned, forget about the oden and put it away for now. That thing requires people and pots. Now she sells things by others, so it's a bit too hasty to make it herself.
Or, she can find someone to "practice" first?
Back home, while having dinner, Ye Yuran told her about her family's plan to cooperate with others to open a branch.
"Really?!" Mrs. Liu was very happy when she heard this, "We are going to open a branch again, Mom, is our family really going to make a fortune? At the end of last year, our family got a lot of money..."
Thinking of the banknotes she had taken out to count last night, her little heart was beating fast.
She felt that if things continued like this, she would be able to build her own house within three or two years.
"Well, it's true. Brother Bao also said that he wants to open a grocery store with others and wants to buy sweet potato flour from our house..." Ye Yuran said, "I did the math, and the hot flour factory behind our house is still a little bit..."
It’s too small, I guess I need to get a bigger one.”
"Ah? But our house has no space anymore." Mrs. Liu said, "You do have a yard over there, but the eighth sister of your yard is used for dyeing cloth. How about letting the eighth sister give it up?"
When Zhu Bamei heard this, she became anxious: "How can that be done? Although my dyeing workshop is not as profitable as yours, it is run by me, my third sister, and my fourth sister. You can't compete with us for space."
"How much money does your dyeing workshop make?" Mr. Liu said with a disgusted expression, "There are only a few people from all over the country to buy cloth, and you only earn two or three cash per foot, and you still have to pay wages... Calculate this way
After that, the losses are all dead. Do you know how profitable our sweet potato flour is? The sweet potatoes collected cost a few cents per pound, and the sweet potato flour must be made at least double..."
Although Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lin did not speak, they were still a little bit ready to move.
Compared with the hot powder factory, Zhu Bamei's dyeing workshop really doesn't make much money. It's just for the three little girls to have fun. Didn't you see that they, the sisters-in-law, didn't participate?
When there is another person who earns more money next to him, the one who earns less money will be despised.
"Mom, look at my second sister-in-law, how could she do this?" Zhu Bamei stamped her feet and said angrily, "Even if the dyeing shop doesn't make money, it's still my dyeing shop. I worked hard to build it. How are you doing now?
It's easy to have some appearance, and I can collect money in the future. She actually thinks that I don't make enough money and won't let me drive... Why, the money I earn is mine, not hers. She won't let me go if she doesn't.
If you don’t get out of the way, who will give me the money?”
