selling chili peppers in chronology

===========================

Chen Chen's original plan at home was to sell a few here and there in the morning, with the focus on selling at noon after the agricultural machinery factory got off work, and then selling the unsold goods in the afternoon, and then taking the late bus back to the village.

But the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. Who ever thought of such an accident as the old woman, who gave a wave of live advertisements abruptly, and when people’s herd mentality broke out, I would buy as much as you bought, but the result was that the chili was ruined before the agricultural machinery factory got off work. It's almost sold out, and then wait for some fast people to come, and the sales will be gone.

A large group of people behind did not buy it.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you should bring more today? Why are they gone now?"

"I came here as soon as I got off work, but you sold out, why did you sell out so quickly?"

"Boss, what's the matter with you?"

"I didn't buy it yesterday. I thought about it all night. Who knows I won't be able to buy it today. Boss, your business is really bad. I have money and can't spend it."

"Me too, I didn't buy it today!"

"..."

Those who hadn't bought it for two days felt dissatisfied and complained cracklingly.

These are all customers, Chen Chen lightly comforted him, and didn't say too much, after all, his business is good, which means that things are good, this is a living sign.

Of course, in order not to arouse everyone's resentment and anger, Chen Chen also gave an idea after appeasement, "It is indeed a little late when you get off work at noon, and many aunts, aunts, grandparents and grandparents who went out to buy vegetables in the morning came I buy here, so there won’t be anything left at noon. If you really want to buy and there are people at home who don’t work, why don’t you ask them to come and buy earlier?”

Speaking of which, Chen Chen showed a troubled expression, "I'm just doing a small business. It doesn't make sense that I won't sell it if people are willing to pay for it. Do you guys think that's the reason?"

What can the people do?

Of course it's a choice.

You can't put a knife around his neck and tell him to make bad peppers, can you?It can't be changed without it.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Chen's idea is not impossible.

A family living in the county must have old or young people who don’t go to work. Anyway, the boss seems to have a good temper, so he shouldn’t be bullied, not to mention there are so many people around, he won’t shout when he is bullied?

Those who are single or dual-employed want to go to work, so they wonder if there are any neighbors who don't go to work, and it should be feasible to ask them to help bring a can with money.

The more people thought about it, the more they felt that it was feasible, but everyone tacitly didn't say it out. Now that you have to buy something, you have to grab it. If you say it, if it inspires someone, won't it increase your competitors?They're not that stupid.

No matter how the group of customers are planning in their hearts, how grinning their mouths are, tell Chen Chen to bring more next time, and by the way, he vented his dissatisfaction a little bit at this time, but in fact, this state of short supply will pull The grade of bad chili is high.

People who bought it in the morning took it home and ate it, and then showed off the value of the one-yuan-a-can chili, and those who didn’t buy it regretted complaining about it, and so on, there will definitely be another wave of publicity.

After thinking about these things, Chen Chen was in a very happy mood.

Chen Qian, Chen Bei, and Zhou Ping'an were also in a happy mood, and they were so happy that they were going crazy.

120 cans of bad peppers, one yuan per can!All sold out!Earned 120 yuan a day!There are even a lot of people who haven't bought it yet!

Chen Qian swallowed his saliva, "Hey, this money is really easy to earn."

Chen Bei nodded, "That's a lot of money in one day, a lot!"

Zhou Ping'an was also very excited, "It's higher than a worker's monthly salary."

"To be more specific, it's two or three months' wages of ordinary workers." Chen Qian often came to the county and heard many things, "The wages of ordinary workers are only more than 40 yuan a month, but now we earn more than one day. 120 yuan! That’s their salary for two or three months!”

Chen Bei added: "If it's not enough to sell, then it's more!"

Zhou Pingan nodded again and again, "Yes!"

Chen Qian's face was full of excitement, "It's really profitable!"

After listening for a while, Chen Chen directly poured cold water on them, "This 120 yuan is not earned in a day."

The three were stunned.

Chen Chen was not polite, "I started planting peppers in April, and now it's October, with a total of six months in between."

Chen Qian: "..."

Chen Bei: "..."

Zhou Pingan: "..."

The three of them, who were still excited just now, froze in an instant.

Chen Chen continued: "If you do business by yourself, you can't just look at how much money you charge, but also how much you pay. The price of raw materials, production cycle, labor paid, etc. are all included in the calculation. The money received minus the cost is the profit we make.”

Chen Chen turned to ask: "Do you think this one hundred and twenty is our net profit?"

A scoop of cold water cools the heart, and the three of them are like frost-beaten eggplants in an instant, and the whole body is sticky, "No..."

Chen Chen said: "So don't be fooled by this little money, in fact we didn't earn that much, otherwise it would really be black-hearted money that the old lady said in the morning."

Chen Qian immediately said: "The old lady is deliberately looking for trouble, if it is not afraid of being affected by the business, I must teach her a lesson."

Zhou Ping'an reminded: "But the result she brought was good in the end."

"That's not true." Chen Qian laughed again, "She yelled and attracted a large group of onlookers, but in the end, most of them came to buy our bad peppers. The old lady must be very angry."

Chen Bei also said: "She ran away in despair."

Chen Chen asked: "Did you see it?"

Chen Bei replied: "I was afraid that she would find trouble again, so I kept paying attention to her."

Chen Chen really didn't notice when the old lady slipped away, the main reason was that there were too many people afterwards and he had no time to take care of it.

"You have to forgive others and forgive others. A little lesson is almost enough."

"Speaking of it..." Chen Qian said with some embarrassment: "This matter is also my fault. She frightened me as soon as she said that she reported me, as if we were so wrong and guilty, idiot It’s the same as sending the handle to someone else, fortunately, fourth brother, you reacted quickly today, otherwise you really have to go to the police station, and it will be our fault.”

Hearing this, Chen Chen replied vaguely, "Your understanding is pretty good."

Chen Qian was even more embarrassed, "Isn't this the first time I'm not proficient in doing business? I should have experience after two more visits."

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, "Then you go on."

Chen Qian snorted, "I'm sure I can do well in the future, fourth brother, just wait and see."

Chen Chen said: "Wait and see."

Chen Bei and Zhou Pingan, who were also reflecting, also looked at Chen Chen, "I will come tomorrow too."

Chen Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with letting them go through more experiences, "Come if you want."

Chen Bei immediately said: "Good!"

Zhou Pingan also showed a smile.

Chen Chen collected the money, and said hello to Liang Shu next door, and then everyone carried their baskets on their backs. Chen Qian held the empty bamboo baskets, and Chen Chen asked casually, "What do you want to eat?"

As soon as they talked about eating, everyone began to swallow their saliva, feeling hungry and panicked.The food in the county is delicious!

I think so, but Chen Bei is not too reluctant to spend so much, "Brother, I heard that food in the county is expensive, so let's not eat it? Aunt Liu's stewed meat hasn't been finished yet, let's go home and eat it." .”

Zhou Pingan nodded again and again, and stewed pork thigh with dried cowpea. This kind of dish is the best thing in the countryside. He has never seen so much meat during the Chinese New Year before.

Chen Qian also said: "It's not cheap to eat in the county, not to mention there are four of us, and it costs five or six yuan for a little bit of meat. With this money, it's better to buy a big piece of meat and cook it at home. Everyone can eat it deliciously." pause."

When Chen Qian said this, Chen Bei, who was not willing to spend money at all, was even more unwilling, "Brother, don't eat, let's go home!"

"There is no bus back to the village right now." Chen Chen said.

Chen Bei said indifferently: "Then let's wait, anyway, the bad peppers are all sold out, so just find a cool place to sit, and you won't be hungry if you don't move."

Chen Chen:"……"

There are quite a lot of fallacies.

Seeing that they were really reluctant to spend a few dollars for food, Chen Chen didn't force it. He thought for a while and said, "Then go buy some meat buns, fifteen cents, at least to fill their stomachs, anyway, I'm hungry."

Fifteen cents a meat bun is also expensive, but compared to five or six yuan, it is much less. Two of them are only one yuan and two yuan per person. The white dough skin has fragrant and fatty meat filling. It feels much more cost-effective than eating. !

He said he was not hungry, but how could Chen Bei and the others really not be hungry?I've been busy all morning, it's already noon now, my stomach is growling with hunger, okay?

On the way to buy meat buns, Chen Bei suddenly realized something, "It's not right."

Everyone turned their heads.

Chen Qian asked: "What's wrong?"

Chen Bei said earnestly: "Although we only started selling bad chili yesterday, the bad chili was ready to eat last month, and if we made it earlier, it would definitely be earlier, and it would take less than six months. "

Chen Qian was dumbfounded by this sudden topic.

Chen Chen was also stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he said helplessly: "These things you said are all hypothetical ideal states, and none of them happened, but in fact, the cycle we really experienced is six months, isn't it?"

Chen Bei struggled, "Yes..."

"That's it." Chen Chen said: "Analyze the specific situation, not every ideal situation can be applied to the facts, including some losses during the production process and losses caused by some sudden situations, these are all in the early stage The investment must also be calculated into the cost."

Chen Qian, Chen Bei, Zhou Ping'an were stunned.

Chen Chen continued: "Besides, what I told you is just to tell you that there are costs in doing business, especially in doing business by yourself. You have to consider all aspects. After you have calculated all the inputs, you can understand the value of the product and determine the value of the product. The price at which the product is finally sold, not the random price that you take for granted."

Chen Qian was stunned, Zhou Pingan silently kept these words in his heart, while Chen Bei was thinking——

So that's why you're claiming spice is added to the bad chili out of thin air?

Chen Bei hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't ask.

Chen Chen didn't know that he was thinking about this in his heart, seeing that everyone was contemplating, he didn't say anything more, and when he arrived at the steamed stuffed bun shop he often bought, he spent two yuan and four, and bought four big meat for each person. steamed stuffed bun.

It was hot and fragrant, and all the gluttons were hooked out. At this moment, all thoughts in my mind were driven away.

Chen Chen finished chewing the four buns in two bites, and felt a little full in his stomach. After looking around, he found that Chen Qian, Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an had only eaten two, and each had leftovers. Two down.

When Chen Chen asked, he found out that they wanted to take it home for the family to eat, which made Chen Chen feel inexplicably ignorant.

So in the end, Chen Chen paid for another twelve big meat buns, Chen's first six, and the remaining six belonged to them, and they took them home and steamed them for dinner.
