Chapter 268: Keeping the Price Down
“This matter will be taken care of by your Aunt Zhang.”
Aunt Zhang patted her chest, looking like she was taking care of everything.
Her brother-in-law is the son of the village secretary of Xiaobazi Village, so this little thing is not a problem at all.
A group of people rushed to Xiaobazi Village in a mighty manner, and some people joined them along the way, but some of them came to watch the fun and were not prepared to buy meat.
In this era, there were not many entertainment activities. Everyone was bored and joined in the fun. The death of a cow in the next village was a big deal.
Compared with Dabazi Village, Xiaobazi Village is poorer. Generally, women from Xiaobazi Village marry outside the village, and it is difficult for them to find a wife.
No, all the way to Xiaobazi Village, the aunts and ladies walked with wind. Although they could not be said to be arrogant, they were quite confident.
This feeling is like city people looking down on country people.
Dabazi Village is richer than Xiaobazi Village, and even the people in Dabazi Village look down on Xiaobazi Village.
With the strong captain Zhou Weiguo, Dabazi Village has developed quite rapidly in recent years.
In just a few years, Dabazi Village has been managed in a prosperous manner, and it can be said to be famous in the county.
I have to say that the captain is really courageous. After seeing the mushrooms grown by Zhou Ziwen, he decided on the spot to make him the leader of the mushroom team, and even built a mushroom room specially for him.
This kind of courage is not something ordinary people can achieve.
After all, Zhou Ziwen has always been an educated youth going to the countryside. If he goes back sometime, it is not certain whether this technology can be retained in the village!
All the way to Xiaobazi Village, Zhou Ziwen saw that the environment in the village was indeed a little worse than that in Dabazi Village.
The houses of the villagers are not only small, but also very dilapidated. The walls of some villagers' houses are cracked and there is no time to repair them.
Xiaobazi Village is quite lively at this time. Just at the entrance of Xiaobazi Village, a group of people gathered together. The cow that died in the village had been killed, and pieces of meat were placed on a cart. It looks like it's going to be sold.
This cow head is the property of the production team. Although people are not allowed to do business in this era, there will be no problem if the production team takes the lead.
Just like selling mushrooms in Dabazi Village, this is bought and sold in the name of the collective.
However, the people in Xiaobazi Village failed to pull the cow out and were surrounded at the entrance of the village.
There are people from Dabazi Village here, as well as the other two nearest villages.
Everyone wants to come and see if there is any advantage.
Since we are here to take advantage, there must be a way to take advantage.
No, the aunties in several villages began to use their talents.
"Oh, this cow has been loaded on the car. Are you planning to sell it outside?"
"Oh, why does this beef look a little black? Could it be that it died of illness? "
"Yes, the color of this meat is a bit wrong. Isn't it really a disease?"
"Sick cows can't be sold. They are going to be sold. It’s a problem.”
“Speaking of which, beef is not very oily. How are you going to sell it?”
"Let's not talk about how to sell it. Is this meat edible? Don't take out the problematic meat to deceive others!"
Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang stood among a group of aunties, listening. The aunties and aunties were belittling beef with each other, and I suddenly felt at a loss what to do.
This method of lowering prices through belittling is really eye-opening.
Seeing a group of old ladies belittling the cattle in the village, the village chief of Xiaobazi Village also felt the pressure, stood up and explained helplessly loudly, "What are you old ladies talking about? Ours The cow is obviously old and can't stand the cold. It snowed yesterday and he couldn't survive it. He was too cold. ""You old ladies, if you want to lower the price, you can sell it to you cheaply for the sake of the villagers. But you. Don’t go out and talk nonsense. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this cow. It didn’t die of illness, but of freezing.”
"How can someone with this color not die of illness?"
An old woman muttered unconvincedly.
“That’s not true.”
“How did this cow die? If you ask in the village, you will know. It was frozen to death.”
The captain of Xiaobazi Village He also looked helpless.
It seems a bit unreasonable to reason with these old ladies!
"Then tell us, how much do you plan to sell us per kilogram of frozen beef?"
An older lady asked with her cane in her hand. .
"We are all from the village, so it must be cheaper than outside. Pork outside costs 80 cents per pound, and my beef is the same price as pork." The captain of Xiaobazi Village said.
“The same price as pork? Are you crazy about money? I don’t say whether your beef is frozen to death. Even if it is, the color is not good-looking. If you take it outside, most people will think it is dead of illness. .”
"Besides, your beef doesn't have much fat, and you can't refine it into oil when you take it back. How can it be priced at the same price as pork?" The beef in Xiaobazi Village is cheaper.
The captain of Xiaobazi Village was beaten to death by a group of old ladies.
The key point is that he can't win after he talks and scolds. These old ladies are not easy to offend. If they annoy them, they will be caught and their faces will be full of tears. There is no way to deal with it.
In desperation, the captain had no choice but to relent, "Then how much do you think a pound of this meat should cost?"
"Let's talk about it first, don't go too far, otherwise I won't sell it."
"Twenty-five cents, anyway, except for us, you can't sell your meat." Seeing Xiaobazi Village The captain surrendered, and an aunt said slowly.
“No, this price is definitely not acceptable.” The captain shook his head without thinking.
Twenty-five cents? This is selling him as the price of vegetables!
"Why can't it work? Look at your meat. It's black and can't be sold at a high price. That is to say, only those of us who know the basics believe you. If you sell it outside, maybe You can’t even sell it for this price!”
"This..." After hearing this, the captain also hesitated.
The beef they sell does not look very good.
After all, the cow died yesterday and was not bled in advance, so the color is naturally not very good-looking.
Seeing the captain like this, the village secretary and deputy captain were also helpless. If the captain of a village couldn't be tough, they, the deputies, would also lose their temper.
Unable to win over these old ladies, the captain offered to give in, but when he gave up the price to forty cents, he would no longer give in at this price.
No matter what the aunts and uncles say, they just won’t let go.
Everyone can only talk about the price to this extent. Those who want to buy some meat to take back start to choose the meat. Some old women even do it themselves, cutting off the good parts and leaving the not so good parts.
At this time, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang both took action and each grabbed a large piece of meat.
There are not many opportunities like this. If you grab it, you will earn it.
