A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

"That's great, let's take a good look at it." The butcher readily agreed.

In this world, who wouldn't want to do a business that makes money?

The butcher generously gave away all the unsold lean meat and ribs to Su Niannian.

Su Niannian smiled and accepted it, but still gave the butcher twenty yuan. Twenty yuan was about right for these things.

Neither of them wanted to take advantage of the other.

This is also why Su Niannian wanted to collaborate with the butcher.

The two arrived at a slightly less crowded alley, where Su Niannian explained her proposed collaboration to the butcher.

The butcher's brother is named Lü Hongliang, and he has a very cheerful personality.

He was somewhat stunned after hearing Su Niannian's words.

"Young lady, you trust your Brother Lü that much?"

The cooperation method that Su Niannian proposed to Lü Hongliang was that Su Niannian would provide the seasoning for the braised meat, and then take a cut.

Lu Hongliang felt that this way of cooperating showed a great deal of trust in him; otherwise, Su Niannian could have easily prepared the materials and put them to him to sell.

Even if you only earn a few cents or a dime per pound, you can still make a lot of money.

Lü Hongliang is very confident in the flavor.

In fact, Su Niannian had thought before that she should get pig offal from Brother Lü, and then go back to the village to clean and process it.

Then, after it's made, give it to Brother Lü to sell on the black market.

However, firstly, Su Niannian had nowhere to get these things, and secondly, there were many people in the village who might be jealous and report her.

Strictly speaking, some agricultural and sideline products can be sold discreetly, as long as you don't get caught. However, it's hard to define whether pork offal made into braised meat and sold as agricultural and sideline products.

I'm afraid some people will take this too seriously.

Therefore, if Su Niannian only provides the seasonings and then takes a cut of the profits, her income would be quite considerable.

And there's no risk involved.

When 1978 arrived, two years later, the controls were not so strict.

By 1980, things had been completely liberalized.

Su Niannian is not short of two years; if she wants to make money, she has plenty of opportunities.

“When it comes to cooperation, sincerity is naturally required,” Su Niannian said with a smile.

"This one packet of seasoning can braise 60 catties of pork offal. After braising, it will shrink to about 50 catties."

Su Niannian took out a gauze bag from her basket. Inside were seasonings that had been mixed in the correct proportions. Su Niannian had even ground them with a millstone, so it was hard to tell exactly what was inside or the proportions.

Therefore, this recipe is difficult to replicate.

Moreover, Su Niannian divides the seasonings into small packets, which allows her to precisely control the amount of braised meat, ensuring that the amount is not too far off.

They weren't afraid of the money being embezzled or them getting less of it.

"So, how much do you plan to price it per pound, girl?" Brother Lü asked Su Niannian, tossing the spice packet in his hand.

"One piece per pound," Su Niannian replied after thinking for a moment.

"One yuan?" Lu Hongliang was taken aback at first, but then he thought about it and realized that the taste and one yuan per pound didn't seem expensive.

If Lü Hongliang wanted to buy pig offal in bulk, he estimated it would only cost seven or eight cents per pound. If he could actually sell it for one dollar per pound, it would be an extremely profitable business.

Especially the taste, it completely surpasses the braised pork in state-run restaurants.

A serving of braised pork at a state-run restaurant costs 1.6 yuan and requires a ration coupon, and a serving only contains about half a pound of meat.

All things considered, Lü Hongliang felt that one yuan per pound for braised pork offal was cheap.

It's all about the flavor! The seasoning!

This is the most valuable part.

Pork offal is cheap, labor is cheap, so the profit lies in the seasoning.

Therefore, Lü Hongliang felt that the girl's suggestion of a 3:7 split wasn't entirely unacceptable.

If this braised pork offal business gets its name out there, it's guaranteed to have repeat customers.

Moreover, Lü Hongliang knows people in several black markets in this county. He can sell the finished products in several different places, and he can sell hundreds of kilograms a day.

After doing the math, Lü Hongliang could hardly believe how much money he could earn in a day.

Their gazes towards Su Niannian brightened.

However, since no businessman is without guile, Lü Hongliang still wanted to secure more benefits for himself.

Of course, he also knew his limits.

"Hey girl, how about this? I'll price braised pork offal at one yuan per pound. I can get it for seven or eight cents per pound. Add in some labor costs, and the cost per pound comes to one cent. I'll take three cents, and you take six cents."

Seeing that Su Niannian did not respond, Lü Hongliang quickly added a sentence.

“This way, it’s easier to divide the money,” Lü Hongliang said again.

Observe Su Niannian's expression.

Even if you only make two cents per pound, if you sell five hundred pounds a day, you can still earn one hundred yuan.

In Lü Hongliang's knowledge, there was really no business that could earn 100 yuan a day.

You should know that the monthly wage for workers in the county town is only 21.5 yuan.

The factory manager of a state-owned factory earns at most seventy or eighty yuan a month.

If I worked for this young girl, I would earn more in a day than the factory manager earns in a month.

This money is like finding it for free.

Even if you don't sell 500 jin a day, you'll still earn much more than if you sold pork yourself.

Su Niannian didn't really care about losing a few cents per pound.

He smiled and nodded in agreement.

"However, let me make this clear from the start: I will only supply this braising seasoning to you, Brother Lü. If you have ulterior motives and use one packet of seasoning to braise more than 60 catties of pig offal, resulting in a bland flavor and poor sales, I will no longer cooperate with you."

Su Niannian spoke with a smile on her face, appearing harmless, but in fact, there was a lot of information in her words.

What he wanted was to prevent Lü Hongliang from playing tricks on him, otherwise this opportunity to make money would slip away at any time.

"Of course, the benefits are already substantial, so I certainly wouldn't play any tricks on you. Your Brother Lü isn't that kind of person either."

Lu Hongliang never intended to play tricks on Su Niannian. If he could earn this money steadily, it would amount to two or three thousand yuan a month.

In this day and age, two or three thousand is a sum that few would believe.

Lü Hongliang even felt that this opportunity could change his life.

After the matter was finalized, Su Niannian gave Lü Hongliang ten packets of braised meat seasoning. She had just bought the seasoning and then made it in her space.

There are also ten bottles of sauce, one jin (500g) per bottle.

It's called a sauce, but it's really just soy sauce with two drops of spring water added.

This is why Su Niannian dared to provide the seasonings so confidently.

In addition to the seasonings that can be bought in the market, Su Niannian's braised pig offal also contains the mysterious and irreplaceable spiritual spring water.

For those sold to outsiders, adding one or two drops of spiritual spring water to sixty catties of braised meat is enough to enhance the flavor; it doesn't have any restorative properties.
