Chapter 160 Pizza, Three Kingdoms Emergency (two-in-one chapter)
. The desertedness of Killing Pig Lane can’t help but break the tranquility of the early morning, and also officially kicks off the battle for supremacy between Zui Xianju and Jade Xuan Nanchang.
Just after Chen hour, the price of pork, which had just risen, suddenly took a sharp turn.
A large amount of pork and mutton spread rapidly around some large restaurants such as Jade Hall.
On the streets, you can see bartenders and idlers selling cooked meat everywhere, and the price of the cooked meat is almost the same as that of raw meat, so it is basically unprofitable.
Not only that, but in the nearby foot shops and smaller restaurants, the price of pork today is also extremely low. As for the price in Nancheng, it is even one or two cents lower.
As for mutton, it is also lower than usual.
It was so bad now, the customers poured into all the major restaurants and foot shops, vying to buy meat, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits.
Due to the war, the price of meat has been rising, but I didn't expect it to drop so much this time. People who are usually reluctant to buy meat have also spent a lot of money to buy meat today, fearing that the price of meat will drop again tomorrow.
It went back up.
It seems that no matter what age people are, they are inevitably greedy for petty gains. It is no wonder that they are forced by life.
Cai Minde and others purchased large quantities of pork and mutton. Although it caused chaos in the market, it also benefited most small restaurants. Although they sold it at a low price, the prices they purchased from large restaurants such as Jade Xuan and Pan Lou were even lower.
It’s still a profit, not to mention the number of customers has increased several times.
Nowadays, the thresholds of these big restaurants are almost broken by people.
Of course, Zuixianju is an exception, because no restaurant is willing to sell meat to Zuixianju.
Obviously, this series of actions are aimed at Zuixianju.
But it wasn't noon yet, so the guests didn't notice anything strange.
Zuixianju.
Li Qi was sitting in the lounge. In addition, Uncle Wu Furong and Chen Anan were also inside. They had just gone out to inquire again and got some accurate information.
To put it bluntly, what Cai Minde played was a monopoly trick. They first reached an agreement with ordinary pig farmers inside and outside the city to buy out their pork, and then signed contracts with several major butchers in Bianjing and became the general distributors of several major butchers.
Shang, anyone who wants to buy meat now has to go to Jade House or Pan House.
Li Qi knew that they must have promised these butchers how much meat they would sell for them every day. Although the specific amount was not yet clear, it was definitely much more than before.
Li Qi really can't argue with them on this point. After all, the other party has more than 20 restaurants working together, and those with more money can beat you to death.
As for the small retail investors who came to sell a pig only a few days ago, Cai Minde ignored them.
In a word, there is plenty of meat, but it is not as good as yours.
"Brother Li, you don't know. There are people from Jade Cuixuan and other restaurants around the city. They directly set up murder cases there. The prices are also very cheap. Nowadays, all the restaurants and foot shops outside the city are from
Jade Pavilion and others buy meat here." Wu Xiaoliu said with a depressed look on his face.
Chen Anan added: "Not only that, I heard from people that the prices of vegetables and wine at Feicui Xuan have also dropped a lot." Since today was a special period, he did not go to the western suburbs with Xiaoyu.
Wu Furong jumped up angrily and cursed: "What on earth does this old fox want to do? With the current price of meat, let alone making money, it would be a good thing not to lose money."
"It's not like losing money. The price they purchased is already lower than before. It's just that they didn't make any money. If they didn't sell like this, then they wouldn't be holding on to a lot of moldy meat."
Li Qi shook his head and asked, "Have the prices of food and wine in other restaurants dropped?"
Chen Anan said: "Aside from the fact that the price of meat in other restaurants is the same as Jade Xuan, the prices of vegetables and wine have dropped quite a bit."
Li Qi smiled and said: "That's it. Cai Minde doesn't have to make any money, but other restaurants can't afford to lose. What he's playing with us now is hard power. He knows very well where his advantages are. Not bad. Not bad, a little bit.
mean."
Wu Furong said with a long face: "I don't know what's so interesting about this."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Uncle Wu, Jade Xuan has already made a move, so we can still find a way to deal with it, but it would be uncomfortable if he kept holding back and hanging there."
Wu Furong said in surprise: "Do you have some countermeasures?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I'm still thinking about what to do specifically. By the way, Uncle Wu, do you think you can think of a way to find a source of meat in a nearby town?"
"I've thought about this too."
Wu Furong sighed and said: "But you don't know something. Since the last time the emperor sent Wang Xiang to collect military pay in order to attack Liao, the result was that the people were in dire straits and the common people were miserable. Many butchers around were very energetic.
The injury has not healed yet. I don’t even have a pig at home, let alone selling pork. Also, in the past, Liao merchants would bring flocks of pigs and sheep to Tokyo for sale, but now.”
Speaking of this, Wu Furong sighed again and said: "The imperial court is still increasing taxes. The small butchers in the surrounding towns don't have much to make. If we go to them to buy meat, it will be difficult to make any money."
There is room for price negotiation. Even if we buy the meat, if we sell it at the price of Feicui Xuan, they will make neither profit nor loss, but we will have to sell it inside at a loss, and we will lose as much as we sell, which makes two
Months, we can't bear it. But if we sell it at the previous price, those customers might come and scold us."
"What you said makes sense."
Li Qi sighed. In fact, Li Qi had also heard about Wang Fu's collection of military pay. It was obvious that he was killing the goose to obtain the egg, which caused many businessmen to go bankrupt at that time, and the restaurant industry was also greatly affected. He sighed: "But you still
If you ask someone to take a look, just leave a way out."
Wu Furong nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way. Alas, how long has it taken to get better?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Uncle Wu, you don't need to worry so much. If they think they can defeat us in this way, then they are looking down on me, Li Qi. Isn't he rushing to sell meat outside now? Then we can let him
If they sell less, they will sell less.”
"Then how to make him sell less?"
"Attract guests to our Zuixianju."
Wu Furong said depressedly: "We don't even have a piece of mutton, so how can those guests come to our place? Could it be that you have all the pork and mutton in the world? Is this targeting you?"
I didn't expect her sense of smell to be quite good.
Li Qi nodded and said, "Is this why you came here?"
Bai Qiannuo nodded.
Li Qi pursed his lips and said, "I thought you were here to find me."
When will this man be serious? Bai Qiannuo rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's already this time, and you're still kidding me."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "If someone is willing to spend this money, can I stop him? Don't worry, Zuixianju will not collapse so easily."
Bai Qiannuo was overjoyed and said, "Do you have a plan to deal with it? Also, the banner in front of the door says 'The World Chapter 159: When Dou Wu and Chen Fan take over power, Dou Wu and Chen Fan plan to kill him. The secret is not secret. Counterattack
Being harmed, Zhongjuan became more and more violent from then on."
As a person born in the 1980s, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Journey to the West were my best playmates when I was a child. I read them over and over again and couldn’t put them down. Although Li Qi can’t recite them word for word, he can still recite some classic stories.
As for the plot, it’s better to just open your mouth and tell it.
Everyone saw that Li Qi was not singing anymore, but was telling stories. They listened more seriously. In the entire hall, only Li Qi's voice could be heard.
This Romance of the Three Kingdoms is so well written. The stories in it are linked one after another, each one more exciting than the last.
After Li Qi finished telling the story of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, everyone started to get into the mood, and their emotions started to change with the story. When Li Qi talked about Cao Mengde's sword presentation, everyone was extremely nervous.
When Li Qi said that Guan Yunchang had killed Hua Xiong, everyone clapped and cheered again. Hong Tianjiu immediately regarded Guan Yunchang as his idol, and his fair face was filled with excitement.
Even the veteran Wu Furong finally left the counter and stood downstairs to listen.
Some of the guests who had just come in were not even greeted by a bartender, and they didn't understand why. Just as they were about to make their habitual shouts, they were stared back with countless warning eyes. In despair, they found a table and sat down.
After a while, I was also fascinated by it.
Now in the entire Zuixianju, Li Qi was the most sober. He looked at the sky and said passionately: "Youdao is Lu Bu among men and Red Rabbit among horses. This man is brave and good at fighting. He wears a golden crown.
Wearing a red brocade robe with hundreds of flowers, and a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor on his shoulders. Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, he sat down on a red rabbit horse and with the power of one person, he fought Liu, Guan, and Zhang for more than a hundred rounds.
, but still not falling behind, at this moment---."
Bang.
Li Qi woke up, drank a cup of tea, and then said: "If you want to know the details, please listen to the next chapter." (You are welcome to support me, it is my biggest motivation.)
