Chapter 332 Men should take the initiative

Seeing the birds eating happily, Liu Qingshan silently deleted the circle of friends asking for prices.

After eating some sausages here, I wrapped some with wild taro leaves, and then continued to look for bracken on other hillsides.

God pays off. On the second hillside, Liu Qingshan really found bracken, and the number was considerable. At first glance, the dense bracken girls were dancing gracefully in the breeze.

The plump and graceful figure is slender but not thin. While full of energy, it also exudes the spiritual energy given by the mountains, forests and valleys.

They shaking and shaking also drive the surrounding leaves, so the entire hillside seemed to be swaying, with a dreamy feeling.

Liu Qingshan didn't care much and quickly entered the dreamy bracken forest to show off his skills.

Although bracken looks slender one by one, they have a lot of moisture, and more than ten bracken can make up a pound.

After Liu Qingshan picked all the bracken, the snakeskin bag was filled with half of the bag, and then he carried the half bag of bracken to the next hillside.

Bracken is very easy to pick. As long as you encounter such a place covered with bracken, it is not a problem to pick a hundred pounds in a day.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan’s harvest today is pretty good. Although it is not too much, it is about 300 pounds.

When he brought the bracken he harvested today back home, Liu Yuanhe was amazed: "It's strange, how did you find so many bracken?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that the climate of the mountains farther a little warmer, and bracken grows earlier. So, I walked farther in the morning and went deeper in the mountains to pick so many bracken."

"No wonder, I said there shouldn't be so many bracken at this time." Liu Yuanhe pulled open the bag, and looked at the bracken densely packed in the bag, and couldn't help but worry, "Qingshan, so many bracken are not easy to sell."

"Yes, bracken is so expensive. Even if your father went to sell it in previous years, it wouldn't be much sold in a day." Wu Cuimei also became worried.

Although the winter bamboo shoots, yams, and bitter bamboo shoots sold well before, as a parent, as long as he has a little concern, and this concern happens to his children, it will be infinitely magnified.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingshan said with a funny look: "That's because my dad doesn't know how to sell it. If he sells it in the town, he will definitely not be able to sell it at any good price, and the sales volume will definitely not be much. However, if he goes to the county town to sell it, it will be another matter."

Although the county town is a small county town, it is also a city. The rich local people gather in the county town.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan was not worried about whether his bracken could be sold out, but was thinking about how to maximize the benefits of these bracken.

Although I had contacted and met many restaurant managers in county towns when I was selling bitter bamboo shoots before, if I just sent the bracken, I would definitely be able to sell it.

However, you should know that these people are not the owners or shareholders of restaurants, but managers with small wages. Therefore, if they want to increase their income, they can only get various kickbacks.

Just like the bitter bamboo shoots before, although the price sold by Liu Qingshan seems to be very high, in fact, the price of those managers writing on the purchase order is higher, and the difference in it naturally enters the pockets of these managers.

Of course, this is nothing wrong, but even so, it still cannot satisfy the managers' ambitions. As time goes by, the large number of bitter bamboo shoots are listed, and the acquisition prices they give are getting lower and lower, and generally lower than the market price.

When the market price was three yuan per pound, the purchase price they gave was only two yuan.

Liu Qingshan felt that he was too passive, so he had to think of a way to take the initiative into his own hands.

After taking the bracken to the county town, Liu Qingshan directly pulled several bracken to the entrance of a hotel.

The manager with greasy head and flour noodles immediately came overjoyed when he saw Liu Qingshan's car and said happily: "Boss Liu, why are you here? Is there anything good?"

The manager is white and fat, a little straight, but when he smiles, he gives people a sense of calculating.

Liu Qingshan got off the car, pulled a bag of bracken from the carriage, opened the bag, and laughed and said, "Manager Li, you are so smart. I haven't even spoken yet, you know I have something good."

Manager Li leaned forward and looked into the bag. Seeing that the bag was filled with fresh bracken, his eyes lit up: "Damn, so many bracken, Boss Liu, where did you get it?"

"Picked into the mountains." Liu Qingshan returned without hesitation, "Yesterday, my family walked into the deep mountains to pick it. A family of more than a dozen people picked it for a day to pick so many."

If you say you picked it alone, it would be unreliable.

If I say I bought it, Manager Li, who is good at calculating, would definitely want to intercept the silence and go to the countryside to buy it, but if I can't get it, then it will be exposed.

Therefore, it is safest to say that you are going to pick it by your own family.

"Your family has so many people, more than a dozen people." Manager Li was a little surprised. He asked Boss Liu before, saying that Boss Liu is still a bachelor. In this way, how could there be so many people in the family?

Liu Qingshan still lied without blinking: "Yes, my parents, a few uncles and aunts, as well as the children of uncles and aunts, more than a dozen people, and a whole family."

"So it's such a big family. I thought your parents gave birth to many brothers and sisters for you."

Liu Qingshan just laughed and didn't answer Manager Li's words.

Manager Li grabbed a handful of fresh and plump bracken, held it in his hand, looked at Liu Qingshan with a shrewd look, and asked, "Boss Liu, how do you want to sell this bracken?"

"Twenty yuan per pound." Liu Qingshan said without thinking.

"What? Twenty yuan per pound?" Manager Li almost glared out his eyes, "Your price is simply a sky-high price. In the past, it was only ten yuan per pound, but now you have sold it to twenty."

"Hehe, time is different from time." Liu Qingshan said, "Look at what month it is now. You go to the nearby mountains and forests to see where you can pick such plump ferns. If you can pick ten kilograms of ferns in one day, I will give you my bracken for free."

There is not a lot of rain this spring, so many things grow late. Especially such fresh bracken requires more moisture than other plants. Therefore, due to the weather and seasons, even in a mountain village like Xishan Village, there is no bracken growing in the mountains and forests around Xishan Village, let alone other places.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan was very sure that so far, he was the only one in the entire county town who could pick so many bracken.

Since you have this advantage, don’t lower your attitude and lower your requirements like when you sold bitter bamboo shoots before, and always worry that your bitter bamboo shoots will not be sold.

Liu Qingshan also thought about it. If these bracken really can't be sold, then make dried bracken and wait until it is sold at a high price in winter to make money, but it will only take more time.

Whether it is bracken or bamboo shoots, once it is made into dried vegetables, the price will increase by nearly ten times.

For example, fresh large bamboo shoots cost three yuan per pound, and after making them into dried bamboo shoots, they cost thirty yuan per pound. The thirty yuan is still the wholesale price. When those who purchase bamboo shoots resell the dried bamboo shoots to some bosses who sell local specialties, the boss then packages the dried bamboo shoots for sixty or seventy yuan per pound.

Of course, dried bamboo shoots are not so easy to make. Only the dried bamboo shoots made in a specific time and climate can have the unique deliciousness of authentic dried bamboo shoots. This dried bamboo shoot is different from the dried bamboo shoots that can be made in all seasons.

The bamboo shoots of the mountain people can only be made at a specific time.

The same is true for dried bracken. If you don’t want to add any preservatives and dyes, it needs to be done in a specific time and climate. Therefore, these tasks are difficult or not, but easy.

Therefore, if you can sell fresh ones, it is best to sell fresh ones, but if you really can't sell them, it's not too late to consider making bracken.

If you can retreat with the dry fern, Liu Qingshan is confident.

He continued: "Manager Li, you should think carefully first. I have to go to another hotel to ask."

"You don't have to go." Manager Li snorted, "Just at your price, even if you ask ten stores, no one will buy you."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. How can I know if I don't try it?" Liu Qingshan smiled, put the bracken back in the car, and then drove away under Manager Li's confusion.

Manager Li looked at the car that was leaving, frowned and muttered: "It's strange. This kid is different from before. He didn't look like this when he was selling bitter bamboo shoots last time."

Before, Liu Qingshan was very troubled by the managers of every restaurant in order to sell his bitter bamboo shoots. Therefore, he left with just a few words this time, which made people confused.

After leaving this hotel, Liu Qingshan went straight to the next one.

After seeing the manager who bought bitter bamboo shoots from me last time, I followed the previous model.

The manager of this restaurant said that these bracken costs twenty yuan per pound, which was incredible.

This manager is older, but without exception, his eyes are full of careful calculations.

He looked at Liu Qingshan in surprise and said, "Qingshan, your price is a bit unreasonable."

"Why is it unreasonable?" Liu Qingshan said calmly, "The bracken has not grown yet. It is not easy to find so many bracken. The price is very approachable."

"No, no, no." The manager shook his head, "Your price is ridiculously expensive."

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "It's okay, you think about it carefully. Once you have thought about it, just call me."

After saying that, Liu Qingshan left again.

He had no intention of selling bracken immediately, but wanted to let these people know that his attitude was very firm, and he would neither lower the price nor care whether his bracken could be sold.

As long as the other party feels these two points, he will take half the initiative.

Sure enough, after he casually visited all the restaurants and hotels he had come into contact with before, Manager Li, who had a greasy head and flour, couldn't help it.

Since he separated from Liu Qingshan, Manager Li has been wondering why Liu Qingshan has been so determined this time, and has not come back after leaving for so long.

Then, after analyzing by several small ministers next to him, Manager Li felt more and more that Liu Qingshan was likely to have found a big buyer, so he didn't care about them, the small buyers.

Thinking of this, he became anxious.

After all, the dishes in local restaurants are basically the same. They have their own homes, others have them, and others have them, and our homes have them.

In this way, if you want to retain customers, you can only improve your service.

However, if you improve your service, your competitors also know how to improve your service.

Therefore, in the end, you still have to master the latest dishes to truly retain customers.

Now the freshness of the bitter bamboo shoots has completely disappeared, and diners are tired of eating it. At this time, a fresh dish is urgently needed to retain the departing customers.

Originally, Manager Li was held accountable by the boss and shareholders because his business was not good in recent days. He was irritated and anxious, thinking that he would quickly create a wave of storms to attract customers.

But who knows that after planning a discount event for several days, I couldn’t bring back a few customers.

Early this morning, when he saw Liu Qingshan's bracken, he really seemed to have seen a savior. However, Liu Qingshan actually priced the price of bracken at twenty yuan per pound.

Damn, this price is almost as good as pork.

I thought that even if Liu Qingshan traveled all over the county town, he would not be able to sell it. In the end, he would come back to find him and sell it at a low price.

But who would have thought that he had been waiting in the restaurant for most of the morning and could not see Liu Qingshan's shadow.

As time goes by, the more he thinks, the more he becomes, the more anxious he becomes.

If anyone is willing to spend a lot of money to buy Liu Qingshan’s bracken, then most diners will probably be stolen.

Thinking of this, Manager Li was not calm and in order to save his job, he quickly called Liu Qingshan: "Hey, Boss Liu, have your bracken sold out?"

Liu Qingshan is guarding the central vegetable market, selling his bracken, which is a retail price of 22 yuan per pound.

When he received a call from Manager Li, he was still calm: "Haha, Manager Li, have you considered it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just say you have sold out all the bracken?" Manager Li asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.

Liu Qingshan laughed twice again and said, "It's not sold out yet, I won't know later."

Although the price of bracken is almost as good as pork, who has made bracken always the king of wild vegetables?

As long as it is delicious enough, as long as it is fresh enough, and as long as there are no competitors nearby, then Liu Qingshan's bracken in his hand will not be afraid that no one will buy it.
