Chapter 119

The price of flour also increased? Twice as much!

Yue Ge'er and Jia Bao listened and all looked at Yu Qingze.

The matter was so serious that neither of them knew what to do.

The lack of two seafood dishes in the restaurant has little impact, and can be replaced by other new dishes. However, flour is the most used in the snack bar. If the price of flour triples, their cost will undoubtedly increase greatly and they won't make any money.

Yu Qingze frowned and asked brother Chang, "how much flour is there in the store? How long will it last? "

Brother Chang thought about it and replied, "it can take about three days."

"Three days..." Yu Qingze walked around the room, his mind running fast.

The flour shop owner has worked with him for a long time and won't double the price for no reason. He must be threatened by someone like the seafood stall owners. Fortunately, he also sent someone to tell them in advance, instead of waiting until they deliver the goods in two days. Otherwise, they will be more passive.

Brother Chang was very worried, but he didn't say a word when he looked at brother le and Jiabao. He asked suspiciously, "why aren't you surprised at all?"

Le Ge'er sighed.

Jiabao said to brother Chang, "brother Chang, shrimp and clams have also increased in the restaurant. Moreover, all seafood vendors in the market have doubled the price of seafood sold to us, and others' prices are normal."

"Seafood doubled? All vendors are like this? " Brother Chang's eyes widened and asked incredulously.

There is not much seafood supply in Tongshan city. The price of seafood is very expensive. Now it has doubled, and it is only aimed at them. Obviously, someone is deliberately making trouble.

Jiabao nodded and was very angry: "there are not many seafood sellers in the city. I can't buy them now."

"His grandfather's, who wants to fuck us?!" Brother Chang was so angry that he scolded directly.

Le Ge'er shook his head and indicated that he didn't know yet. He didn't tell brother chang his guess. He was afraid that brother chang would go straight to someone to settle accounts in anger.

But he didn't say it, but brother Chang remembered it himself. He looked at Yue Ge'er and said, "is it fragrant?"

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "brother Chang, we can reasonably doubt when we close the door, but there is no evidence. We can't talk nonsense when we go out of the door, you know?"

Hearing the speech, brother Chang nodded and said, "I know the weight. Boss Yu, don't worry."

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "well, brother Chang, you let Tiezhu, Erniu and you go to the flour shop to buy flour. Go to one person every day and replace it. You can only buy three bags at most every day. They are in the kitchen. Most guests don't know them, and the shopkeeper doesn't know them. Let them in and out through the back door. After buying it, they will directly put it in the house where Xicheng Jiabao lives, and we will transport it to the store in the evening. "

"OK." Brother Chang nodded immediately, and then worried, "what if someone recognizes him?"

Yu Qingze said, "then go to another person. Let Tiezhu go again this afternoon. I'll go to the flour shop to see the situation later. "

"OK. What about the restaurant? " Brother Chang asked again.

Yu Qingze said, "let others in the kitchen buy it. It should last for a few days. These days, I'll try again. The worst case is to remove these two dishes. The impact on the restaurant is still small. Don't worry. Take care of the snack bar first. Except for a few people in the kitchen, others don't tell them, so as not to cause panic. "

"OK, I see. I'll go back first." With that, brother Chang hurried back.

When brother Chang left, Yu Qingze said to Jiabao, "Jiabao, go and call dashong and Dazhi in."

"OK." Jiabao went out to call someone and came in with the two.

Yu Qingze told them about the matter, and then explained: "later, DASONG will go to the market to buy it first. After half an hour, Dazhi will go again. DASONG will buy 15 kilograms of shrimp and clams respectively, and Dazhi will buy 10 kilograms. In addition to buying shrimp and clams, he will buy some other fish. He can buy one or two at a low price, take a bucket, and fill water from the boss's basin. What they have is sea water. After buying it, put it in your house and come back to the restaurant. "

DASONG and Dazhi nodded. Yu Qingze told them the price of seafood and gave them money. DASONG went out through the back door with a bucket.

Taking advantage of DASONG to buy seafood, Yu Qingze explained what happened in the store, and then went to the flour shop. After passing two other grain and oil stores on the road, Yu Qingze specially went in and asked. Sure enough, the bosses of other grain and oil stores doubled the price.

When he arrived at the store that delivered goods to them, he didn't see the store owner. The waiter knew him well. He said that the boss counted in the storage room in the backyard, and Yu Qingze went directly to the backyard.

"Boss Kang." Yu Qingze shouted outside.

When boss Kang heard the speech, he looked up and saw that it was Yu Qingze. He came out and said, "you're coming."

Yu Qingze didn't talk nonsense. He directly asked, "boss Kang, have you been threatened by the price increase?"

Boss Kang sighed, nodded and asked, "have you offended anyone? I'll deal with you like this. "

Yu Qingze shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I honestly open the door to do business. How can I offend anyone? I don't know who it is."

Boss Kang said, "maybe your business is too good to hinder others."

"I think there is only such a possibility." Yu Qingze was helpless and asked, "boss Kang, I want to ask, who is the person who came to tell you?"

Boss Kang frowned, pointed up and said, "do you want to check?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "I always have to know who my opponent is."

Boss Kang looked around, went to close the door leading to the backyard, pulled Yu Qingze into the storage room, and then said, "that man is a man at the wharf, just a messenger."

"Who is the man above him?" Yu Qingze asked.

Boss Kang whispered, "this guy is a lucky man."

"Good luck?" Yu Qingze frowned and asked, "I remember this is a shipping man?"

Boss Kang nodded and said, "they only hauled goods for others, but later they made it by themselves. They specially transported flour back from the north. I don't know where they purchased the flour. The quality of the flour is better than that of the flour transported back from another company."

"Where do you usually buy goods?" Yu Qingze asked.

Boss Kang nodded and said, "yes, I get all the flour from them. As you know, there are only six or seven companies in the city with the quality of flour like me, and they all buy goods from Hongyun. "

"So it is." Yu Qingze thought.

When he was working as a snack stand, he walked through all the flour shops in the city. He knew it. Indeed, as boss Kang said, the flour of several houses was better than others. The two stores he asked before he came were also those with better flour.

The flour used in his shop is of good quality, so the dessert tastes very delicate, and the guests like it so much.

Now, they can't replace it with inferior flour. The taste is really different. Guests can eat it as soon as they eat it, which will affect their reputation.

Boss Kang sighed and said, "otherwise, go to other homes?"

Yu Qingze is his big customer. It's a pity to lose such a big customer, but there's no way. He can't risk losing the source of goods for a customer.

Yu Qingze said with a wry smile, "I went in and asked before I came, just like you."

Boss Kang opened his mouth and said in surprise, "it's all like this?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and then he asked, "boss Kang, do you usually buy goods every few days? When will you go? "

Boss Kang said, "usually once every five days, in the afternoon, at midnight. The boat will be back tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to see it? "

Yu Qingze nodded, "I don't know any lucky people. I won't come against me for no reason. I have to check."

"Yes, you go and be careful."

"I see. Thank you, boss Kang." Yu Qingze thanked boss Kang. Suddenly he remembered a question and asked, "boss Kang, do you know that Hongyun still does seafood business in addition to flour?"

Boss Kang nodded and replied, "yes. But it's not a batch of ships. They have two lines, one for flour and other grain, and the other for seafood. It seems that they are all transported back from the north. "

Hearing the speech, Yu Qingze understood. He said, "thank you, boss Kang."
