Chapter 161 Blood loss!
Jiang Xia glanced at Zhou Guohua who walked into the canteen and looked away, smiling back to Mr. Hou: "The price is a bit expensive and the cost is high."
"This is fried, right? "It's normal to be more expensive." Mr. Hou said to Jiang Xia while eating the dried fish: "You can make a lot of fish. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the Chinese New Year is coming in a few months. You can make more of it!" I’ll take whatever you make. Make one that’s a little spicier and one that’s a little sweeter. Pack it in one pound or two pounds.”
Jiang Xia shook her head. I can’t make too much of it at the moment. It’s fried, it takes a lot of oil, and it also requires other seasonings, including salt, sugar, and sesame seeds. Sugar and sesame seeds are very expensive, and it’s very laborious to make! It’s very troublesome!”
Master Hou took another one and said, “I’ll try to get some tickets for you. How much do you sell for a pound of these little fish?”
Jiang Xia: "This is a bit expensive because of the high cost. Small fish larvae are 5 yuan per catty, small yellow croaker is 7 yuan per catty, and miscellaneous fish larvae are cheaper at 3 yuan 51 catty."
Jiang Xia quoted a price higher than the budget. For fifty cents, give the other party room to negotiate.
As a result, Mr. Hou thought that these were made from dried fish, and the cost was more than double that of fresh fish. And then it required oil, sesame seeds, and other sauces. After all, the price was too It's reasonable, not very high.
He said directly: "Okay, you can do it in large quantities. I will charge as much as you do, and do more."
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "I really can't do more, I have no oil. I bought oil and bought sesame seeds.”
Everyone knows that doing business with a large volume is more profitable, but now conditions are limited and large volumes are not enough.
"I'll find a way to get it for you!" Mr. Hou pointed to the dried fish in the snakeskin bag: "Are they all dried golden pomfret?"
Jiang Xia: "No, there are There are several kinds of dried fish, including 373 kilograms of dried redwood fish, 146 kilograms of dried Balang fish, 225 kilograms of peeled dried fish, 56 kilograms of dried shrimps, and 60 kilograms of dried small squid. Three kilograms, fifty-six kilograms of dried small octopus, and one hundred kilograms of large golden oysters.”
If the Mid-Autumn Festival was not coming soon, Jiangxia would not sell the oysters until the New Year. Sell, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so you can test the water with a hundred pounds first. If it sells well, then go to the island to pry some more and sell them during the New Year.
Anyway, they have already applied for the contract for that sea area, including the island.
"Okay, I'll take them all. Let me take a look at these dried fish..."
In the end, Jiang Xia left behind the dried fish and small fish larvae that were sent to Zhang Fulan and Jiang Dong. All the goods They were all sold to Mr. Hou.
Dried sequoia fish, Mr. Hou saw that it was dried enough in the sun, well-proportioned in size and with the head removed. He collected two yuan and seven cents per catty. Dried Balang fish received one piece and thirty-five cents per catty. Peeled and dried fish. It costs two yuan per catty, shrimps of different sizes cost three yuan per catty, dried small squid costs two yuan and twenty-one cents per catty, dried small octopus costs two yuan and fifty cents per catty, and large golden oysters costs three yuan and eighty cents per catty. All fish All in all, they sold for a total of 2,480 yuan and 80 cents!
Then the six large jars of small fish, small yellow croaker and small miscellaneous fish, excluding the three flavors of small fish, total 168 kilograms, spicy yellow croaker fifty-seven kilograms, spicy One hundred and twenty-seven kilograms of small miscellaneous fish, six jars were sold for a total of one thousand six hundred and eighty-three yuan and five cents.
The jars will be returned at that time.
This time, the total sum was sold for 4,164.3 yuan.
But Jiang Xia also spent a lot of money collecting dried fish. She calculated that she made about 175 yuan by reselling the dried fish, which was less than 200 yuan.
But because she sorted the dried fish she collected, the larger ones that looked better were sold as dried fish, but those that were too small were made into spicy small fish and spicy small dried yellow croaker. She made a lot of money here. For a little more, the spicy small dried fish can earn about two yuan per catty after deducting the cost, while the spicy small yellow croaker can earn about five yuan per catty.
So we made five hundred and thirty-nine yuan here, which was half and half with He Xinghuan, and each of us also made two hundred and sixty-nine and a half yuan.
That is to say, she made more than 400 yuan by herself this time.
The trouble is that it’s a little troublesome because you have to collect the dried fish and divide it up, but it’s not bad, after all, it’s extra money.
Moreover, Grandma and He Xinghuan have taken over the work of collecting fish, dividing the dried fish and drying the fish. They think that for 40% of the money, they just help dry and fry the fish. Damn, sorry.
So Jiang Xia simply let them make both the dried fish and the dried fish, and then gave them half of the dividends. He was only responsible for selling and making various flavors of fish larvae.
After selling the goods and making an appointment with Mr. Hou on the phone, Jiang Xia happily left the city pier with four thousand yuan and went straight to the train station.
After Zhou Chenglei drove the tractor and left, Zhou Guohua came out of the canteen and hurriedly came to Mr. Hou with two large packages and handed them to him: "Comrade, I also sell dried fish here, you Are you still accepting it? A Lei and I are from the same village. His dried fish is also collected from the villagers, and so is mine." Mr. Hou glanced at the cigarette he handed over, waved his hand and said, "I see. Look at your dried fish ”
Zhou Guohua quickly took him to the bags of dried fish.
“My dried fish are all dried very well, and they are the same as Ah Lei’s. As long as you accept them all, I can be a penny per pound cheaper than him. Look at my dried fish. "
When Mr. Hou saw it, he didn't even bother to look through it. He couldn't help but think to himself: The same dried fish? But it's too far!
The dried fish of Comrade Zhou Chenglei and Xiao Xia have been sorted. Each fish is well-proportioned in size and looks very attractive.
These dried fish and red cedar fish are all different sizes and are not sorted. Who knows how many small fish are mixed in?
Master Hou made a price directly: "Redwood fish is two yuan and one cent per catty, and dried fish is one yuan and thirty cents per catty."
Zhou Guohua was dumbfounded: What? So cheap? At this price, the redwood fish alone is a loss of 52 cents per pound! How to sell?
Zhou Chenglei and the others received dried redwood fish for 2 yuan and 50 cents per catty, and miscellaneous fish for 1 yuan and 1 catty. There was no way they could sell them at a loss! You have to make at least one or two cents, right?
Zhou Guohua couldn't help but said: "Two yuan a pound for redwood fish is too cheap! How about two yuan a pound for sequoia fish and a dollar a pound for miscellaneous fish?"
The Marquis looked at him as if he were an idiot and shook his head: "I have collected enough dried fish. I won't collect any more."
After that, he left.
Treat him to be a fool!
Who sells this kind of small dried fish for more than a pound per piece? Seven cents per pound is already as high as the sky!
Zhou Guohua couldn’t help it when he saw Mr. Hou leave. He couldn’t sell it at a loss!
The price he offered was already very low, and there was no profit left.
After all, he came by car and asked for a fare. A few bags of dried fish occupied the space and he also charged a fare of one and a half dollars.
If it gets cheaper, it will be in vain!
The result was that it was not cheap. He waited until four o'clock in the afternoon and didn't sell a pound.
At this time, a shop owner came over and asked him if he could sell the dried fish, "Dried redwood fish costs two yuan a pound, and dried fish costs 55 cents a pound. Do you want to sell it?"
Zhou Guohua asked: "Can you increase the price?"
The bad guy turned around and left.
Zhou Guohua quickly stopped him: "Comrade, I'll sell it!"
If you don't sell it, you can't take it back, right?
It was getting late, and he had to pick up Wen Wan.
And it will cost another fare to take it back, and it will cost another fare to take it to the city to sell next time. It will be even more expensive to go back and forth!
So, he sold it directly at a loss, a pound of redwood fish at a loss of 60.2 cents, a pound of miscellaneous fish at a loss of 47 cents, a loss of blood!
There are hundreds of kilograms of dried fish stored at home!
We continue to collect every day!
What to do?
***
On the other side, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei left the city pier and arrived at the city train station.
Zhou Chenglei entered the station carrying six large snakeskin bags, while Jiang Xia only carried a basket. She insisted on carrying it, otherwise Zhou Chenglei could have carried it with one hand, but now he has one hand free. Pull Jiang Xia to prevent her from being hit by people coming and going.
Train stations in this era are really crowded, especially as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching! The airtight people are all carrying a big bag or carrying a load of luggage.
Jiang Xia tightly clutched the four thousand dollars in her pocket.
The two finally squeezed in and found the station master.
Thank you to those who voted and rewarded~
