Chen Qi's method is very simple, that is, he made two clothes drying racks on the sidewalk outside the store door, and placed a thick bamboo in the middle.

Then on the pole, the legs of pheasants, wild ducks, hares, and old chickens were all hung out.

In the upper and lower rows, dozens of cured meats and sauces of various colors were hung there, instantly attracting the attention of the people coming and going on the road.

Silly sister, while Chen Qi was busy hanging out the cured meats, Lan Lijuan was helping to write promotional slogans on a piece of red paper.

Lan Lijuan was also worried that her handwriting was too ugly. After all, she had never systematically learned calligraphy, but Chen Qi wanted this kind of "simplicity".

You must know that the Chen family's shop advertises that it is self-produced and sold. If you make it too formal, it will be troublesome for the red sleeves to come to your door.

Now all the neighbors know that the newly moved family is from the mountains and bought a house with the help of relatives, so it is normal to sell some local products now.

Chen Qi knew that these neighbors must look down on his family, so he might as well just live in poverty.

Soon, Lan Lijuan’s slogan was written:

"Self-produced and sold, authentic game, limited quantity, while supplies last."

As soon as the red paper was posted at the door of the store, a group of middle-aged women gathered around, pointing at the chicken and duck hanging at the door, and sniffing it from time to time.

"Hey, how do you sell these chickens and ducks?"

The silly elder sister didn’t know how to write the word “embarrassment”, so she stood up and said with a smile:

"Auntie, this is made from authentic pheasants and wild ducks. Our price is not expensive. Pheasants and ducks cost 2 yuan per catty. Hare and old grain chicken are more expensive, costing 2.5 yuan per catty."

2 yuan per pound, this is something Chen Qi has carefully considered. These days, a pound of pork costs 1.5 yuan with a voucher. If you buy it on the black market, the price is around 2 yuan.

The same is true for chicken and duck meat. Fresh ones cost 1 yuan and 60 cents. A chicken weighing three or four kilograms costs at least 5 or 6 yuan in the market.

Since the cured meat is dehydrated after pickling, the weight is reduced a lot, so adding the cost of salt, pickling process, and shipping costs, selling for 2 yuan a pound is not expensive at all, not to mention that it is game.

Sure enough, these aunts became interested when they heard that it only cost 2 yuan per pound.

As mentioned before, Vietnamese and Chinese people have salty tastes, and they especially like cured meat sauce. Not only does it taste good, but it is also very salty and goes well with rice.

So immediately an aunt brought out a bacon chicken that she was satisfied with:

"Come on, girl, help Auntie weigh how much this chicken weighs."

In order to make it easier for the silly elder sister, Chen Qi specially bought a scale. He put the goods on the pallet and hung the scale weight. He only had to move the scale laterally and the amount of the portion would be clear at a glance.

The scales in the 1980s were all standard scales. It would not happen that you weighed 5 kilograms of goods in the market and only weighed 4 kilograms when you got home.

The silly elder sister was very happy when she saw the business just opened:

"Look, aunt, this chicken weighs 2 pounds and 7 taels in total. I'll give you 2 and a half pounds. I'll charge you 5 yuan. How about it?"

The aunt was delighted when she heard this. She took advantage of her and paid 40 cents less, so she immediately took out the money:

"Okay, aunt will steam it and try it tonight. If it tastes good, I'll help you sell it."

"Okay, aunt, please take your things. Welcome to come again next time."

The deal was completed in the blink of an eye, which left Chen Qi stunned as he watched from the side. He was previously worried that the silly elder sister was lacking in brains and was not sure whether she was suitable for doing business, but now he discovered that the clown was himself.

The eldest sister has a somewhat social personality, but at first glance, she has a straightforward personality. It is very easy to gain the trust of ordinary people, and she is born to do business.

The silly elder sister collected the money, looked at the 5-yuan note again and again, and felt very happy, and then carefully put it into the drawer.

When they saw the first order being sold, the aunts all rushed to pick up the cured meat they liked and wanted to buy it.

Seeing the bustling crowd, and seeing the silly old lady in the crowd happily greeting and weighing things, Chen Qi felt relieved.

I finally found something for my eldest sister to do, and it was a business that made me a small fortune.

Lan Lijuan was surprised to see that the bacon business was so good. She was also from the mountains, so of course she knew that this kind of cured chicken and duck was not worth much in the mountains.

After all, they are all caught by hunting or using traps. When it comes to cost, the most important thing is the cost of salt. How much is that?

As a result, the food cooked by the people in the mountains was sold at a "sky-high price" when brought to the city, which made her eyes keep shining.

If she could sell the bacon at home, or go to the village to collect some bacon to sell, would she be able to make a lot of money for the family and allow her younger siblings to go back to school? Can it reduce the pressure on her mother's life?

"Monitor Chen, Sister, how much profit do you think this business will bring?"

Chen Qi saw no one around him and said softly:

"I'll scare you to death when I tell you about the profit. Let's just say that the wax rabbit I just collected in the village was 1.5 yuan. This price didn't make the people in the mountains suffer, right?"

Lan Lijuan nodded. A chicken costs 1.5 yuan, which is definitely not cheap in the mountains. You must know that one month's work points were only 10 yuan.

"I received a chicken that costs 1.5 yuan and weighs 2 and a half kilograms. Then I sell it for 5 yuan, so there is a net profit of 3.5 yuan. Look at the Laogu chicken leg that the aunt wants to buy. At least it has

7 pounds, 2.5 yuan per pound costs 17 yuan, but my purchase price is only 5 yuan, and the profit is 12 yuan."

Lan Lijuan's eyes are almost starry-eyed, and her monthly subsidy is only 10 yuan.

"Wow, Squad Leader Chen, how much money can you make? It's incredible."

Chen Qi shook his head:

"That's me. Others can't do this when doing business. Our family saves rent by having our own store, and the eldest sister is a salesperson, which saves workers' money. In addition, we also have a big head of transportation. We have to find someone from the mountains.

Come out and transport it to Keqiao town by boat. How much does it cost?"

Logistics is a big part of any business, and this phenomenon will not be solved even by 2022.

Many agricultural products rot in the ground in the place of origin, and no one pays a few cents per catty to buy them. However, urban residents pay a few yuan per catty to buy vegetables, and even tens of yuan per catty during the epidemic.

Can’t buy it yet.

This is the reason why the intermediate logistics cost is too high and transportation is difficult, resulting in such a disparity in prices between the two ends.

When doing business, you earn this kind of price difference.

Of course Chen Qi likes money. Only when he has money can he have the confidence to reject the invasion of sugar-coated bullets in the future, stay true to his original intention, and be a good doctor instead of a red envelope doctor.

The Chen family's small shop on Lu Xun Road opened bustlingly, but in the conference room of the People's Hospital, there was total silence.

Everyone sat in their respective seats and puffed away, only Qi Damin, the chief of the medical department, was very excited:
Chapter completed!
