Chapter 765 Gutter Oil

"Boxed lunch, boxed lunch, 1 yuan per portion, with all you can eat of vegetarian dishes and rice."

Northern Hebei, as the second batch of coastal open areas, is full of large-scale construction and construction sites in every city.

Houses were demolished one after another, and it didn't take long before buildings started to rise from the ground.

It used to be in the south, but now this construction trend has spread to the north.

With more construction sites, there are naturally more workers, and small vendors pushing carts ushered in a golden age.

As long as the food tastes good, earning a hundred or two hundred yuan a day is like playing for those who push carts selling lunch boxes.

This is a tremendous income in an era when the per capita income is less than 300 yuan and the average salary in coastal areas is less than 500 yuan.

"1 yuan per serving? Why is the price going up?"

The lunch box workers are all familiar with this most popular operator on this construction site, as he is the first to sell out every day.

"There's nothing we can do. Prices are rising, so we have to raise our prices as well."

"Forget it, I'll just go eat at someone else's house."

"No problem, come whenever you want."

The proprietress had a smile on her face, but behind her smile was anxiety and slight anger.

Why are their boxed lunches so popular? The main reason is that they are affordable.

The first is to add more oil when cooking. The more oil and water, the more fragrant the dishes will be.

The second is all-you-can-eat, as long as you can eat, you can have unlimited refills of vegetarian dishes and rice.

Therefore, they produce the largest quantity of lunch boxes every day, but they are the first to sell out.

They are all workers on the construction site. They can make a lot of money and eat as much as they want. This is the biggest temptation and benefit.

After a busy day in the afternoon, the proprietress's face no longer had the smug look it used to have.

When she returned home, the husband, who was in charge of washing vegetables and preparing ingredients, saw that his wife looked unhappy and asked with concern.

"what happened?"

"What else could it be? There are leftovers today.

Those poor fellows would switch to other places if the price goes up by one cent, and would not come to our place to buy lunch boxes."

His expression is completely different from when he is facing customers.

"Let's not talk about those poor guys. How's your side? Did you buy the gutter oil?"

That’s right, the reason why they dare to put oil in their lunch boxes is because the oil is cheap, and they use gutter oil.

In the past, the prices at the construction site vendors were all the same, one dollar per portion, with two meat dishes: stir-fried pork and meatballs.

A box lunch consists of one meat dish, three vegetable dishes, and a portion of rice.

Because the ingredients are cheap and they offer unlimited refills, their lunch box stalls always have long queues and are in great demand.

But now that the costs have been leveled off, and because of the unlimited refills, their profits have become less.

Use less oil? They are very clear about their own cooking skills, which are definitely not the best, and the husband's skills as an amateur chef can only be considered average.

Cancel the unlimited refills? That will lose a bunch of customers, again because of the taste.

In fact, even so, they can still earn one or two hundred yuan a day.

But they are used to earning three to five hundred yuan a day, and they cannot accept the sudden drop in income.

Because this means that their living standards will decline, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

All the problems are with the oil. As long as you can buy cheap oil, customers won’t say anything even if the dishes are not very tasty or have a few stalks or rotten leaves.

Oil and water are very important for people who do heavy physical work.

But the road that made them rich seemed to be blocked overnight, and the gutter oil that used to be sold door-to-door was no longer there.

"There is oil, but people won't sell it."

"What do you mean?" The lady boss didn't quite understand. "You're not selling it? You're keeping it for breeding?"

The husband shook his head and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to sell it, but the price has increased by 50%.”

"Fuck you!" the lady boss said angrily. "What's the difference between a barrel of gutter oil and soybean oil? Is it worth breaking the law just for these two or three dollars?"

It seems that they also know that they are breaking the law, but money can still tempt people.

It wasn't just the boss lady who was cursing, there were a lot of people cursing in the whole city.

Gutter oil, which was usually seen everywhere and sold door-to-door in restaurants, seemed to have disappeared overnight. Did it disappear? No, it was just that someone was offering a higher price to buy it.

……

In a small village in northern Hebei, there is a big cowshed, but there are no cows at all, only piles of iron barrels.

In the afternoon, a Nissan drove into the village. A man in his early thirties sitting in the back seat had a very arrogant look on his face, as if he had seen too many Young and Dangerous guys.

"Is that the kid from the Zhang family? He's sitting in the car and showing off to him."

In this day and age, there aren’t many cars in cities, so having one in the village is definitely big news.

"Bah, what's wrong with a car? They make all the money by dirty means, they are so immoral, and their son has a foreskin that is too long."

All the villagers who saw it talked about it, but no one said anything good.

It’s not that these villagers are jealous, but they know how the other party got started.

Gutter oil, the kid from the Zhang family was able to rise to prominence in just two or three years and drive a car because he was the largest gutter oil seller in the city.

The villagers of this era were still very united, and cursing at them was already a great mercy. If it were in later times, someone would have called the police long ago.

The Zhang family kid also noticed this, so he set up the factory in the village for the purpose of concealment.

Moreover, this guy is also capable. He rarely shows up in public and even when he is transporting goods, he chooses to do so at night.

He knew very well that he had made his money in an unscrupulous way, which disgusted the villagers.

If you do this in a swaggering manner, then you are not being awesome but being an idiot.

Be low-key. If you want to hear compliments, spend 500 yuan in the city and you will find many women licking their toes to compliment you. There is no need to be disliked in the village.

But things have been a little different recently because his business has become legal.

Then there is nothing to be afraid of. You must return home in glory.

My parents have objections to living in the city. First, they are not used to the lifestyle, and second, they don’t have any friends.

Now that my business is legal, I can let my parents come back to live with me, and then build a big house for my family. That would be perfect.

"Boss".

"Big brother".

The iron gate opened and the younger brothers inside greeted him one after another.

"how is the situation?"

"The quantity is still a little short, but it will be almost there in ten days."

The boy from the Zhang family nodded and said, "Very good, the delivery must not be delayed for half a month."

The young man from the Zhang family knew very well that when it came to serious business or cooperation with large enterprises, everything had to be done in a very strict manner.

If you dare to breach the contract, expect compensation.

If you don’t pay, the other party’s energy will kill you just like killing an ant.

"Boss, what do you think these big companies are thinking, buying gutter oil at such a high price?

I heard that the company that signed the contract with us has a foreign background, and the foreigners are also black-hearted."

He didn't know about his younger brother's doubts, but he didn't care because it had nothing to do with him.

"Stop talking nonsense and just do our own thing."

After giving them a lesson, he looked at his younger brothers with their bare chests, feeling exhausted.

"Hold on a little longer, I'll take you to experience the city's special features last night."

It would have been better if you didn't say anything. After I said a few, my back became even more bent.

The characteristics of the city. At first, these younger brothers were very excited and thought that their big brother was wise.

But when we got there, we were stunned. It really was the city’s characteristic.

Their city is close to the sea and has a river, so fishing is popular, which provides opportunities for the fishing rod factory.

Therefore, there are many manufacturers of fishing rods in this city, and half of the fishing rods in the country are shipped from here.

It’s not that I don’t like fishing, the key is to experience this unique feature. There is a reservoir in the village.

What we want is the kind used for fishing nets, not the kind used for fishing rods.
