Chapter 109: Chapter 110 Long-term Business_1
Upon reaching the town, Uncle Huang took a detour specifically to drop Sun Erhu off right in front of Butcher Chen’s pork stall.
Seeing Sun Erhu, Chen Dazhuang greeted him, "Brother Erhu, what are you looking to buy today? These are two pigs I just butchered last night, they’re really fresh!"
"No rush today, Brother Chen, you should try the braised pork my sister-in-law made first."
Sun Erhu shook the item he was carrying, and Chen Dazhuang invited him into the shop.
"This braised pork is something my sister-in-law specifically saved for you!" Sun Erhu said proudly.
Chen Dazhuang didn’t stand on ceremony, immediately unwrapped the butcher paper, took a slice of the meat with his chopsticks to taste, and his face lit up with surprise.
If the meat could be cooked to taste like this, would there still be worries about not being able to sell it?
No wonder Sun Erhu’s demand for meat had been increasing so much in just two days!
Chen Dazhuang immediately had an idea.
"Erhu, are you in this for the long haul?" Butcher Chen asked for confirmation again. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
If Erhu kept buying meat from him, he’d have a steady income, which was something every businessman longed for.
Especially when competition between the three pork stalls in town was still so fierce.
Sun Erhu nodded, "I don’t have that kind of skill, this is my sister-in-law’s craft. We’ll be depending on it to make our living from now on. Brother Chen, I’ve been thinking about you for this good opportunity, do you want to make money together?"
Chen Dazhuang replied on the spot, "Brother Erhu, if you trust me, just tell me what you need, and I’ll deliver it to you the next day!"
He was being sincere enough, wasn’t he?
That would save Sun Erhu the trouble of running back and forth.
"Of course, but you’ll have to make it cheaper, and the meat must be fresh, or else I won’t accept it."
Sun Erhu raised his eyebrows, there were three meat stalls in town after all.
Chen Dazhuang knew well that if he didn’t handle this properly, the benefits would immediately go to someone else.
He nodded right away, "Rest assured, I’ve been selling meat in this town for so many years, don’t you know what kind of person I am?"
"Don’t misunderstand, Brother Chen; the key is this meat is for My Brother Hong. If the meat isn’t good, or the price is too high, My Brother Hong will beat me up," Sun Erhu said with a smile.
"We businessmen value our credit, I definitely won’t put you in a tough spot!" Chen Dazhuang said, patting his chest.
Sun Erhu then discussed with Chen Dazhuang about collecting offal.
Chen Dazhuang said immediately, "With your word, I can roll up my sleeves and get to work. I won’t hide it from you, as butchers, we can barely butcher two pigs a day, surely not enough for your sales. I have a bit of a relationship with the others, I’ll speak to them, let them prepare what you need first!"
"I need it urgently today, so I went to another store. From tomorrow, I’ll trouble you, Brother Chen."
Chen Dazhuang had no objection to this, as it was getting late, and what if he delayed someone’s business?
After discussing what he wanted to buy, Chen Dazhuang quickly wrapped up and weighed the items.
"It’s a total of six hundred thirty-seven wen, just give six hundred wen!"
Chen Dazhuang said generously; making a little less on one deal was fine when it was for a long-term business.
After seeing off Sun Erhu, Chen Dazhuang said joyfully, "Truly, the ancestors are looking out for me!"
Having sealed this deal, why would he worry about not making money in the future?
Having taken care of this matter, Sun Erhu was in high spirits.
From now on, he wouldn’t have to go into town early in the morning; he could go hunting in the mountains. After all, as a stout man, he had no worries about being able to support himself.
Once back home, Sun Erhu immediately told Qiao Duo’er everything, and she unhesitatingly gave him a thumbs up.
