Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 122 The first phone call I received was good news (please subscribe in full)

After adding money to ask the blacksmith to rush the work, Ji Chang got the grill he wanted in the afternoon.

Although its material is not stainless steel, its shape is no different from the street barbecue racks commonly used in later generations.

Ji Chang took the grill and supporting tools back to his home. At this time, many people came to the yard.

People like Xu Rui and his wife, as well as Xu Ye and his band, all came.

Some others are still busy and have no time to come, but it is enough to prepare so many people.

Using steel skewers to skewer the various ingredients that need to be grilled in the evening requires not only manpower but also time. It is faster if everyone works together.

This kind of thing is very new to everyone present, after all, no one has ever had such an experience.

Although living in the county town is a good life, you can often eat meat.

But there is really no such thing as roasting and eating meat from various kinds of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish.

Because I'm not that rich yet, I haven't thought about roasting the meat.

In everyone's mind, these meats are mainly used to stew soup and nourish the body. No one eats them as ordinary dishes, let alone roasting them.

But everyone has eaten roasted whole muntjac before, so we are particularly looking forward to what the various meats will taste like tonight.

These meats have already been marinated and can be grilled directly on the grill after being skewered.

But no one was in a hurry. After all, there were still many people who had not come back. It would be rude to be so impatient.

Everyone had a great time roasting whole muntjac last time, so we didn’t start early.

Although the barbecue was not started, everyone was playing cards, eating melon seeds, watching TV, teasing the tigers, and no one was idle.

It is also worth mentioning that their home phone has been connected today.

Although it cost 5000 yuan, Ji Chang felt it was still worth it.

With this phone, Xia Rulan and Gu Shuyao's younger siblings can call her at any time if they miss her.

In addition, business contacts can also be contacted through this phone number, which is very useful.

"Ji Chang, come out with me and have a chat." Before everyone came back, Xu Rui found Ji Chang who was helping take photos in the backyard.

So Ji Chang handed the camera to Gu Xue Shu, and then went out with Xu Rui.

Taking a cigarette from Xu Rui, Ji Chang lit it.

It wouldn't matter if he didn't go up the mountain. Ji Chang could still accompany him a few times.

"How is it? How is the gas stove business?" Ji Chang asked curiously.

"To make money, it turns out there are a lot of rich people in the county. I have sold more than 200 units, which is really incredible. Do you think I should go to the next county to do the same?" Xu Rui asked directly.

After all, this business itself was guided by Ji Chang, so he wanted to seek Ji Chang's opinion.

"You Xu family can also talk over there, so I suggest you do it. Take advantage of the current vacuum in the market and win it directly. By the time others want to follow suit, your business will have already started."

"In addition, you can also provide the service of delivering liquefied gas to your door. It will cost an extra yuan to send a bottle." Ji Chang gave a suggestion.

Hearing Ji Chang's suggestion, Xu Rui couldn't help but nodded.

"But I don't have enough money in hand. Can I use the [-] yuan you have here? Looking at the current situation, it won't take long for the funds to be withdrawn, and it will not affect the decoration of the store." Xu Rui is very direct. said.

Because he had already spent [-] yuan directly on the store, and most of it was used to pay rent.

The rest was paid for some deposits and material fees for decoration.

If it weren't for the reputation of their Xu family, most of the materials would have to be paid in advance before being delivered.

"I have thirty thousand here, do you have enough? If not, you will have to wait seven or eight days before my next payment comes out." Ji Chang did not refuse. After all, he had already taken advantage of this. Naturally, I want to help Xu Rui.

Everyone needs capital turnover.

I'll help you now, and you'll help me later.

If you don't help, who will help you in the future?

"That must be enough, thirty thousand is definitely enough." Xu Rui grinned, and the stone hanging in his heart fell directly.

He has foreseen that the gas stove business will get better and better.

Moreover, gas filling is also a long-term business and can continue to make money.

"As long as I build another store, I will have the confidence to convince my family to open a quarry in a few months."

"Also, I'm going to haul sand from the city to start some sand business. Do you want to join me?" With 3 yuan in hand, Xu Rui became bolder.

Not only did he want to make gas stoves in the neighboring county, but he also thought about the river sand business.

Once he gets started, he will start the river sand business in several surrounding counties.

"Okay, no matter how much you invest now, I can get out [-] by scraping together." Ji Chang felt that this was the money delivered to his door, so he just paid the principal and didn't need anything else.

"Then we'll give each person five thousand, and we'll make ten thousand together, and we'll start small." Xu Rui is not greedy, and has no intention of becoming fat in one go.

"Okay, it's settled then, I'll get you some money." After saying that, Ji Chang went back upstairs and took out all the money at home.

The family does have a lot of money now, and apart from the 3, there is no pressure to spend another 5.

Because the clothing store brings back money every night. Although the money does not belong to Ji Chang and is only temporarily stored here, he can use it at any time.

In addition, Zhao Ming settles the day's accounts to Gu Shuyao every day, so the combined income of both parties is quite impressive.

As for the current mushrooms, frogs, stone frogs, etc., Ji Chang has already recorded 1000 yuan in his account.

In one month, he can earn more than 3 yuan from these two items.

This kind of income gave Ji Chang a lot of confidence.

With this money, he had the opportunity to care about the winery and the land surrounding the winery.

There is a large area of ​​sorghum land in the mountain forest opposite the winery. The surrounding land is relatively barren and has not been developed much. Only part of it has been developed.

People don’t know that it’s because of the composition of the land. There is some sulfur in the land, which makes it difficult to grow sorghum.

After Xu Rui took the money, he went back home directly. He needed to save the money.

For the money, he wasn't even going to drink tonight.

As everyone arrived at Ji Chang's home one after another, the sky gradually became dark.

Everyone began to put various meats and vegetables on the grill.

The place where the charcoal is placed underneath can still be adjusted to a certain distance, so that the temperature can be better controlled.

There are three grills in total, which is enough for so many people.

Everyone thinks it’s more interesting to have a barbecue like this because they couldn’t participate in the roasting of whole muntjac last time.

It's different now. Not only can you bake it yourself, but you can also season it yourself and adjust it to your own taste.

"Old Xu, what do you think of this?" Ji Chang asked while roasting the lamb kidneys.

"Kidney, this is good food, but it's not suitable for the two of us to eat." Xu Rui said helplessly.

His wife was very conservative and would not let Xu Rui touch her during pregnancy.In the third trimester of pregnancy, she wouldn't let Xu Rui go to bed, which made him very depressed.

But for the sake of his children, he had no complaints.

"Um, I'm not talking about this kidney. I'm talking about this kind of barbecue. What do you think?" Ji Chang wordlessly handed the lamb kidney to Lu Zhixing beside him.

"Barbecue, of course it's good, it's great, everyone is so happy...wait, you mean we use it in the store?"

"We can't use it in the store, but we can wait on the street outside the store where there will be a row of food stalls lined up at the night market at eight or nine o'clock."

"The one who sells barbecue sells barbecue, the one who sells jelly sells jelly, the one who sells noodle cakes sells noodle cakes, and the one who sells sugar water sells sugar water. How do you think the business will be?"

Ji Chang has already thought about it. The food court can also be managed uniformly and hire different people to make it.

Commissions can be given to these people. As long as the supply of ingredients is in hand, profits can be made from it.

Moreover, the prefabricated model can greatly save labor costs, making employees more relaxed than those of vendors.

After the scale is established, the raw materials can be wholesaled to other vendors.

"That's too much. Can we manage it?"

"Besides, there's not much money to be made from roadside stalls, and it's very hard work." Xu Rui actually helped set up roadside stalls in the provincial capital.

There are a lot of things to do every day, and preparing food is very hard and boring.

"It must be hard work, and management is also more difficult. If you don't like it, I will find someone else to handle it?" Ji Chang did not force it. After all, there is no way to forcefully tie up business.

"I don't think roadside stalls can make much money. How can people nowadays be willing to eat barbecue on the roadside. These meats are usually not willing to be eaten at home." Xu Rui felt that Ji Chang overestimated everyone's consumption level. .

Ji Chang nodded. What Xu Rui said is indeed very reasonable. People's consumption level is indeed limited now.

Many people are still unable to live a life of eating white rice every meal. It is indeed too much to ask everyone to be able to consume barbecue.

Therefore, Ji Chang decisively suppressed his thoughts first.

Besides, it takes time to train everyone to master it.

However, it would be okay to let Sun Fang and Zhao Ming figure out the raw materials that the vendors need.

This is also a part of the catering supply chain and can be taken first.

The barbecue party was still very successful. Fortunately, the courtyard wall of Ji Chang's house was relatively high, so it didn't disturb many neighbors.

After this barbecue party, there will be a lot less organization in the future.

After all, a severe crackdown was imminent, and Ji Chang didn't want to cause more trouble.

In the coming days, it is better to have fewer such gatherings.

Unless, he can already take down the winery.

That place is located on the outskirts of the county, so no matter how noisy it is, it won't matter.

After the barbecue party was completely over, everyone dispersed one after another.

Everyone is relatively controlled in their drinking. Most people stop drinking after they get tipsy. The drinking atmosphere is still good, just like Ji Chang likes.

Tomorrow morning, Ji Chang's mother-in-law and her family need to go back, and Lin Yuqing will go back with them.

Because Lin Shoubin drove Lin Yuqing back, Ji Chang's mother-in-law also rode back in Lin Shoubin's car.

Both Ji Chang and Gu Shuyao were relatively relieved because it was still quite chaotic.

Ji Chang felt relieved after watching his mother-in-law and his family get into the car and leave.

Next he will be freer and can go hunting in the mountains.

As a result, before setting off, the phone at home rang.

The first person to answer the phone was Wang Zhi, because the phone was still very new to her, and she had been looking forward to the phone ringing.

Unexpectedly, it actually rang.

"Hello, sir, this is Ji Chang's house, and I am his nanny." She has memorized this paragraph many times.

"Hello, I'm Gu Xiaotian. I have an important matter to talk to Ji Chang. Is he at home?" Gu Xiaotian's voice came from the phone.

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment." Wang Zhi quickly put down the phone and went to call Ji Chang.

After a while, Ji Chang answered the phone.

"Ji Chang, Uncle Ming asked me to ask, can you collect 15 pieces of clothing in 3 days?"

"What?"

"Thirty thousand pieces?"

"Half a month?"

Ji Chang was immediately stunned.

The 3 pieces have only arrived in Hong Kong Island a few days ago, so [-] pieces are needed?
Is it that easy to sell?

"Yes, you heard me right, can you get it all together? Twenty thousand pieces are fine," Gu Xiaotian continued.

"The question is, there is no problem. The question is, are you sure?" Ji Chang asked directly.

If based on the previous price, it would be 30.

Earning 15 from one business is very profitable.

"Sure, the wholesale price is still 10 yuan a piece, [-] pieces are required. In the afternoon, Uncle Tan will come over and contact you directly." Gu Xiaotian conveyed.

It is still troublesome to call Ji Chang directly from Hong Kong Island, so Tan Liming chose someone to call Ji Chang directly after entering the country.

"Okay, then I will leave [-] pieces to him. It is a deal. When the time comes, I will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." Ji Chang said very simply.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell him this afternoon." Gu Xiaotian said happily.

If this business is done, he will definitely benefit from it.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Shuyao finally couldn't help it anymore: "Thirty thousand pieces, the other party wasn't joking, right?"

"No, even if I want [-] pieces, I didn't expect the other party to be so bold. I guess the clothes have been selling like hotcakes since they arrived on Hong Kong Island."

"After this batch of clothes comes out, the county's clothing factories will be completely out of orders, and they can use full power to produce clothes for us. By then, more than 2000 pieces can be processed in a day, which can fully meet our needs." Ji Chang said very excitedly.

With this speed of making money, he could quickly win the winery.

Then, transform the winery into a clothing factory.

The factory building of the winery is still very large, and the wine cellar is also very large. If it is converted into a clothing factory, it can accommodate thousands of people.

After winning the winery, he can start contracting land and start building reservoirs and power stations.

At that time, garment factories can use motors to transform sewing machines and achieve electrification at the lowest cost.

When enough funds are available later, new equipment can be purchased to increase production capacity.

Then, he can have more money to contract the forest and transform it into his ideal hunting ground according to Ji Chang's plan.
