Chapter 130: Pickled Fish

() Seeing that Huang Han remained silent, Cheng Wenge understood a little and said with a naive smile, "Huang Han, you must have something you want me to do, right?"

"Yes! But you guys keep interrupting!"

"Let's shut up right now. Tell us, what exactly is going on?"

"My family wants to buy at least fifty of the enamel basin you took last time. Go back and ask your father if you can help my family buy it at the ex-factory price. If you can, just buy a hundred."

This item is not in short supply, so you don’t need plan coupons. Department stores sell ceramic products at retail prices. If you find an acquaintance, you can go to the wholesale department of the department store to get the wholesale price.

But if you can buy it directly from the factory, it will definitely be the ex-factory price, which should be 20% to 25% cheaper.

These days there are no disposable plastic deli packaging boxes or convenience bags.

If you sell thirteen-spice crayfish on the street, maybe someone from get off work will stop by and buy a pot for 50 cents.

But how do people take it home?

Therefore, Huang Han needs to prepare plastic rope net bags and enamel basins

Customers you don't know, as long as they deposit five yuan or their work ID, they can go home with their net bag and return the net bag and enamel basin when they go to work the next day to get their deposit and work ID back.

Plastic rope net bags are not valuable. There are people selling them on Beida Street. They cost a dime each. If you buy a hundred of them, you probably won’t even pay a dime.

But Huang Han was not prepared to bargain, but asked the person who made the net bag to make it strong, and he could pay an extra cent or two.

Dad Cheng is doing well in the joint transportation company and is popular. He is also a middle-level cadre. It should be a piece of cake to find a cadre who often contacts the ceramic products factory to help him buy the factory price.

Huang Han has seen and used Chengwenge's enamel basin. Such a large enamel basin is of a moderate size. It can hold about 80% of the volume of two kilograms of crayfish, so as not to be too full and the soup will spill out.

Compared with the wage standards at this time, enamel basins were really not cheap. One of this size sold for three yuan and twenty cents in a department store, which was more than 10% of the monthly salary of an ordinary first-level worker.

If you buy it at the ex-factory price, you should be able to save about 60 cents. One hundred is 60 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' salary of an ordinary person. Of course, you need to save this money.

Cheng Wenge understood and said, "That's it! No problem! I will help you find out clearly tonight and I will give you a letter early tomorrow morning!"

Huang Han thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go to your house to meet your father after the exam!"

"Okay! Okay! This is what my dad wants! You'd better go with your dad, mom, sister, and sister. My dad has long wanted to have a drink with your dad."

"Chengwenge, my family is busy with big things right now, so I don't have time to drink or chat! I'm looking for your father to buy a lot of things.

You can't buy these things in our county at all, so we have to ask him to arrange for someone to bring them back from Shanghai."

"No problem. There are too many people asking my dad to carry things from Shanghai, almost every week. My dad will definitely be concerned about your family's affairs."

This is true. In the 1970s and 1980s, Shanghai was probably one of the places with the richest commodities. If you couldn't buy something there, you basically couldn't buy it in China.

At this time, no matter who the people in Sanshui County had the opportunity to go on a business trip to Shanghai, they would always carry as many large and small bags as they could when they came back.

Without him, I would have to buy a lot of things for my home, and my relatives and friends would entrust me to buy a lot of things. Just shopping in the streets would be exhausting to death.

Huang Han has a lot of things to buy in Shanghai. First of all, he urgently needs an oxygen pump. This thing is really not available in Sanshui County at present.

Selling thirteen-spice crayfish is too simple, and Huang Han is also planning to launch pickled fish. At this time, the price of snakeheaded fish in Sanshui County is very low, the same price as crucian carp, not more than 20 cents per pound.

Sanshui County is a water town with too many rivers and ditches around it. In the 1970s and 1980s, eels, loaches, fish, crabs, snails, river clams, river clams and other fresh river products were always very cheap.

Huang Han rarely ate meat when he was a child, but he often ate fish, not only caught by the Zodiac Boat, but Zhang Fangfen also often bought fish to take home.

At this time, no one selling fish keeps them in the water and uses "aeration pumps" to increase oxygen to extend the survival time of the fish. Instead, they sell them on straw mats or woven bags.

The fish dies in a short time, and fish buyers judge whether the fish is fresh by looking at the gills. Therefore, some unscrupulous vendors smear the gills with red ink to deceive customers.

Fish is not as good as vegetables, and it is even harder to preserve. Zhang Fangfen "sweeps the tail" to buy fish at the midday market. In fact, it is just a token payment, and the fish seller agrees.

Otherwise, in the end, the fish seller will have no choice but to throw away the smelly fish and not get a penny.

Whether you can buy extremely cheap "sweeping" fish depends on your luck. Sometimes you can find them every day, and sometimes you can't find them even for a week.

With an oxygen pump at home, Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen can negotiate a price with a fisherman and buy about two kilograms of snakehead fish and keep them in a lotus tank.

It costs one yuan to make a pot of pickled fish in the store and make a net profit of 40 cents, which is a must.

You can also raise a few large crucian carp for braise or make delicious crucian carp soup.

To make pickled fish, you need to kill two pounds of snakeheaded fish alive, which costs 40 cents. Oil and sauerkraut cost about 20 cents, so the cost should be 50 cents to 60 cents.

A dish such as pickled fish and fish is currently not available in county government guest houses or Sanshui restaurants. Once it is introduced, it will definitely be high-end and classy.

One yuan is the price of two kilograms of pork head meat.

Is it better to spend one yuan to buy pickled fish with two kilograms of black fish to entertain guests? Or is it better to wait in line or ask an acquaintance to jump in the queue and get scolded to buy two kilograms of pork head meat?

I believe that not only rural people who are extremely short of oil in their stomachs, but also urban cadres will choose pickled fish.

Huang Han even thought that a few square tables could be placed in the store for customers to dine in. Customers would definitely find it more cost-effective than going to Sanshui Restaurant.

It doesn't hurt that there is no meat in the store. There are thirteen-spice crayfish and pickled fish as the main dishes.

Get some salted duck eggs, fried peanuts, fried bean paste, five-spice orchid beans, dried orchid tofu, cucumbers, mixed with preserved egg tofu, a few vegetables, scrambled eggs, and a pot of thick crucian carp soup.

, it’s almost enough for seven or eight people to sit at a table and drink some wine.

There are rural people who are in urgent need of oil and water in their stomachs. At worst, they can go to a food company store and buy a pound of pig head meat as a cold dish.

Besides, it won’t be long before people secretly sell meat on the black market and it becomes blatant. They negotiate with the meat cutters and deliver dozens or twenty kilograms of meat a day. Are people going crazy with joy?

If you don't have a lot of meat tickets at home, it becomes a piece of cake, and there are meat dishes in restaurants.

There are already self-employed people making and selling tofu and soy products, and soon there will be no need to plan for this.

How to solve the problem of food stamps? It’s a piece of cake!
