Chapter 20 Purchase
On the afternoon of the weekend, Qin Feng's custom-made items were all very on time. After paying the money, the balance of funds he recorded in his notebook officially returned to the triple digits, a total of 328 yuan. If anyone knew that this money was all the funds of Qin Feng's "Roadside Stall Co., Ltd.", he would definitely laugh out loud. Fortunately, Qin Feng's accounts are only announced to his own father, so he can save face concerns.
The carpenter's cart was made even better than Qin Feng imagined, especially the inside of the cart, where the space specially used to place ingredients above was made into small grids that could be pulled out, with a total of 12 grids, which were just the size of which was just enough to put down the aluminum plates that Qin Feng bought on Saturday.
After the car was pushed home, Qin Feng first installed the gas stove and gas tank. The two dangerous items, except for the switch of the gas stove exposed, were all wrapped in the car tightly. Qin Feng was very childish and looked inside from the top of the slurry. The results he saw were quite satisfied. The fire outlet of the gas stove was just facing the center of the slurry. In order to prevent the stove from lit the car, the carpenter specially ordered iron sheets around this circle, which made up for the defects in Qin Feng's design.
Qin Feng was really satisfied with the workmanship of these two carts. This is worth more than a thousand yuan.
Qin Feng temporarily parked his cart in the parking lot near his home, and paid an additional parking fee of 30 yuan, which is a quarterly fee.
After everything was ready, Qin Feng finally ushered in his opening day in the new week.
Of course, for such a small business, firecrackers and other things are not needed at all. Early Monday morning, Qin Feng got up early and headed to the vegetable market at about 5 o'clock.
After buying vegetables for nearly a month with Xiao Wu, Qin Feng is no stranger to the farmers' market. In terms of scale, the vegetable market next to the community naturally cannot compare with the large farmers' market where he and Xiao Wu went to purchase goods. The vegetable market here is at most one-tenth of that farmers' market, and there are many fewer products.
However, Qin Feng didn’t open a hotel and didn’t need much food to set up a street stall.
Qin Feng analyzed why the skewer aunt's stall only has 13 kinds of ingredients, and he concluded that for roadside stalls, there are actually quite a lot of 13 kinds of ingredients.
Just calculate it simply. If you can sell 600 skewers per day, the average is about 46 skewers per ingredient, which are divided into two times in the morning and in the afternoon. Each time, there are 23 skewers per ingredient, which just fills a commonly used iron plate in a roadside stall.
If there are a few more ingredients, the contents on each plate will become smaller, because from the perspective of cost and market, buying more things for nothing will definitely not be sold, resulting in waste - unless her business is really good enough to not sell all the things every day, the customers will not leave - however, this is absolutely impossible.
Qin Feng’s plan today is to buy 20 kinds of ingredients, not to be dying, but mainly to test the market demand level, which sells well and which sells poorly, must be tested by yourself to have a clear idea.
Thanks to the month when I purchased with Xiao Wu, Qin Feng's understanding of general ingredients has barely reached the level of quasi-professional procurement. He went shopping around the streets. Qin Feng finally found that the quality of the things sold by regular stalls in the inner circle of the vegetable market is indeed much better than the cheaper goods in the street stalls outside. He gets what you pay for. This is not in vain.
In a vegetable shop with a large storefront, Qin Feng bought all 7 kinds of vegetarian dishes, enoki mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, small vegetables, cauliflower, eggplant, lotus root and taro, and then moved to the side food area.
The food in the side food area does not matter whether it is fresh or not. Anyway, they are all packaged, as long as the shelf life is not over. Qin Feng calculated the number of baked skewers and restrainedly bought only 3 bags of rice cakes. According to the calculation that one bag of rice cakes can make 20 skewers, 3 bags of 60 skewers are enough for those poor students to eat enough.
In addition to rice cakes, the other two items that must be bought in the side food area are ham and sausage.
In the non-staple food area, the cheapest ham sausage wholesale price is only 50 cents per piece. When Qin Feng bought this thing, he felt like he was reborn and returned to the early 1990s. However, he did not greed for cheapness and bought more. Instead, he only bought 20 pieces according to his estimate of the market. As for sausages, he bought even less.
The purchase price of sausages is relatively expensive, and the cheapest one is 1.6 yuan per piece. Qin Feng estimated that this thing must be priced at more than 2.5 yuan to make a profit. I think with the students' consumption ability, it would be thankful that they could sell 10 pieces a day, so I really only bought 10 pieces.
After visiting two areas, the two baskets prepared in advance were already filled with one.
Qin Feng continued to walk inside, passing by the frozen food area, and took a large bag of chicken hearts, chanterelles and chicken wing tips. He weighed the weight. It would be no problem to have a bunch of forty or fifty strings in one bag, which is to sell it twice.
Walking out of the frozen food area, there are all kinds of fresh meats on the front. There are not many stalls selling beef and pork, only a dozen or twenty stores. Qin Feng walked back and forth with a basket of vegetables twice. His serious look made several bosses laugh at him. Someone shouted: "Young man, if you want to buy it, buy it quickly. If it is too late, all the meat will be bought by others!"
Qin Feng raised his head, smiled at the lean pork guy, and walked up to ask the price of the ribs.
The boss held a pig-killing knife in his hand and firmly stated that 15 yuan per pound was definitely the cheapest in the entire vegetable market. Qin Feng observed carefully and thought the meat here was really good, so he bought 1 kilogram of pork ribs and 2 kilograms of lean meat with a little fat. These two things are used for large steaks and the latter for small steaks. However, before selling, Qin Feng had to pre-treat them at home.
The process of buying beef is much simpler. Qin Feng first asked about the price of each stall, and after finding the cheapest one, he gestured at the size, and asked the boss to cut a whole piece and get it done.
Carrying two large baskets out of the fresh meat area, Qin Feng turned left and right, and finally found the fruit area near another entrance to the vegetable market. Qin Feng wanted to buy a small banana called Emperor Banana, which was about 2 taels per piece. However, people in Dongou City generally don’t eat this kind of banana very much. Qin Feng searched for a while and finally bought it in a very inside shop.
After a long journey, the number of people in the vegetable market increased instead of decreasing.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, stood there and recalled silently for a moment, and remembered that he still had to buy tofu.
