Chapter 30 Toothpick Candy
After Chen Chao finished flipping through the ledger, his face turned black to ashes. The manager of the rice shop shrank his neck and lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
He knew very well why the boss was angry. It was because this time he bought a large amount of old rice from a certain person, more than a hundred tons, but the price of the inferior rice was only 30 cents. The other party's loss was basically Transfer everything to their shop.
However, he was really unjust. The decision was not made by the boss’s own brother. He even reported it to the boss. What did the boss say? Oh, don’t ask me about this little thing.
Chen rice is currently priced at 40 cents, and the recent sales situation is also average. In addition, it has been drizzling for more than a month, and many of them have even started to become moldy. He estimated that the purchase price was nearly 70,000 yuan, but not much was sold. After reaching 3,000, the rest is a loss. Although he has screened out all the moldy parts, nearly half of the moldy parts must not be sold in the store, so the final outcome is to feed the livestock, and it is them. The pig farm will collect it only after it has been dealt with. It takes time and effort, but it can still recover a few thousand dollars.
Yuan Zhuan looked up at the signboard, Chaohao Rice Store, um, a very down-to-earth name.
This was the last rice store nearby. She also compared prices and quality, so she felt confident.
"Boss, why are you selling the rice this time?" Put the inferior rice in a conspicuous position, oh, and Chen rice. Chen rice is displayed on the sign so blatantly. Yuan Zhuan is very interested in this kind of rice. The most important thing is Yes, it's cheap.
In the apocalypse, even moldy rice is sold at a high price after a little treatment.
In fact, it is understandable that the environment shapes people. After all, if you can't even feed and clothe yourself, you don't care about its quality.
"Six cents." The store manager greeted him with a kind smile.
Six cents is the same price. "Boss, I want ten tons. What's the price?"
I originally thought that the little girl was just buying some for home, but as soon as the ten tons came out, Chen Chao threw the account book in his hand on the table and someone came over.
Although he is a child, there are adults at home!
"Little sister, you want ten tons? I can give you the biggest discount on the price. Where are your adults? We can go to the yard to talk." Chen Chao smiled and looked very kind.
"My family owns a grocery store. It's at No. 11 in the middle of 128th Street. Are you the boss?" After thinking about it, Yuan Zhuan decided to let Cao Ming be the parent. She looks too young now and the money is too big. The amount of supplies was huge, making it difficult for people to trust her. If she were a merchant herself, she would not dare to accept tens of thousands of dollars in cash from an eight-year-old girl.
"Yes, yes." Chen Chao's eyes lit up even more.
"Then bring some samples of the inferior rice and old rice in your shop and come with me."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll be there right away. Liu Hu, hurry up, didn't you hear what the little sister said? Grab some samples, I want to take them away."
After Yuan Zhuan said the same thing, he strode away and agreed to meet at the store at three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Cao Ming got the shopping list given by Yuan Zhuan, his eyes almost popped out, "You want the lowest price? Is it okay if it's moldy?"
"Moldy, only food." Yuan Zhuan corrected. There is something wrong with rice and noodles. They can fill the stomach, but other things cannot. If your stomach is not full, you will die first. There is no medicine over there. She knows very well how popular moldy rice and noodles are in the last days, and they are all digested by the poor.
"it is good."
As the eldest brother, Cao Ming spent the afternoon talking with the five invited bosses, and finally decided to order a few grains from three of them, including soybeans, flour, brown rice, corn noodles, corn, and rice from Chen Chao's. He paid 2 cents for all his normal old rice, including the moldy part, and gave him a thousand in total, so he didn't have to deal with the moldy part.
In the end, Yuan Zhuan spent all his 10,000 yuan and still owed Cao Ming 10,000 yuan.
After sending away the guests, Yuan Zhuan returned to the house with a dark face.
"There are good things in the system mall. You can use them to make money in your world, or you can sell them." The system suddenly became considerate.
Yuan Zhuan gritted his teeth and opened the system where she owed money. He saw the golden pyramid icon on the screen. He tapped it and a row of pictures of items appeared in front of him.
Baozi machine! Dumpling machine! Candy machine! There are only three kinds, one silver coin each, so the price is not expensive.
"This thing doesn't exist in your world, and it's not your post-modern machine. The fillings and ingredients in these buns will be extracted and the essence will be removed, and the taste will be unparalleled. If You sell the machine and someone takes it apart. Even your post-modern precision instruments cannot reproduce it, so you can sell it with confidence. I got three of each for you. The same goes for dumplings and candies. Nine This machine should bring you a lot of profits."
"Strive for it?" Yuan Zhuan sensitively caught the loophole in the wording.
The system stagnated for a moment, then said, "It is refreshed at the beginning of every month, and the shipment volume is the same as now."
"Do you have a superior system?"
silence……
After asking several times in succession and receiving no reply, Yuan Zhuan understood what he meant.
The bun and dumpling machines are put aside for now, but the candy machine can be used in the grocery store.
He bought one directly for one silver coin and cashed it in the store. A porcelain-white machine that looked like a seat-mounted juicer appeared on the table out of thin air. Yuan Zhuan knocked and touched it. It didn't feel like porcelain, but rather post-modern. It's made of acrylic, but it doesn't look like it. In short, it has a round texture and looks full of technology.
Looking at the instructions on the screen, Yuan Zhuan relaxed his brows, because the production was very simple and the operation was also simple.
After taking it apart and washing it, Yuan Zhuan went out to buy the ingredients. He bought a few kilograms of white sugar, brown sugar, and fruit. After cutting it into pieces, he stuffed it with the sugar into the inverted cone-shaped entrance, added some water, plugged in the power, and the machine started. It started to rotate, and the porcelain white body surface could not see the inner workings. There was only a slight sound, not noisy, and it would not spill out. Within a few seconds, two exits were seen, one with dregs coming out, the other with garbage coming out. Liquid sugar, after a few repeated operations, the half-liter jar was full. In addition to being able to purify ingredients, it was just like a juicer.
I picked it up and smelled it. Well, the aroma of apples was full, and the sweet taste was so tempting that my mouth began to salivate unconsciously.
She hasn't eaten candy for a long time. From her previous life to this life, the only time she had eaten was the white candy she bought with Zhuzhu last time.
He took a mouthful of it with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth. It was sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance of apples made Yuan Zhuan squint his eyes in love. It was so delicious~
The first can of test product was poured into the mold and set aside. She was going to make the rest and bring it to Liu Da. The child's dock was Liu Da's child. There was a new product and it had to be promoted!
Toothpick candy is the name she gave to her first product.
After working for an hour, I made more than a hundred toothpick candies. Thumb-sized sugar cubes solidified on the toothpick heads. They were brown sugar cubes with an average appearance but absolutely no problem in taste.
