Chapter 1134: Three ways
"Three ways?" Yu Tong blinked her eyes as she did not understand what Yu Dong meant in three ways.
" Thats right," Yu Dong stopped fanning and then turned to look at the fields and greenhouses that were getting repaired. " Do you know why I asked the villagers to bring their own livestock to the animal farm? That's because I am going to sell the meat in various ways.
There will be a section where the commoners can purchase meat, which is not going to be high quality at most it will be a bit better than the ones being sold at the market. That way the money they have to pay will not be much. If a whole chicken is sold at sixty cents in the market then we will sell it for seventy."
" They will get what they are going to pay for."
She clasped the fan and then added, " However the livestock raised by our family is going to be high-end stock just like the vegetables. They will be targeted to the rich customers, using the same example as the vegetables that we sold. They will have to pay one tael for a whole chicken and the price will get higher and higher depending on what they are purchasing."
" The third way will be to sell wings, legs and breasts separately. They will purchase what they want to but that way they will have to pay for the service fee of clean up, that is to say, the price of the product will be higher than the whole one.
For example, if they purchase a whole chicken from the commoners section that will cost the public sixty cents but if they buy wings or legs from the separate section then they will have to pay sixty cents for wings and seventy to eighty cents for legs."
Yu Tong did not get what Yu Dong was trying to explain to her but she did get that they were going to sell the products in three ways. However that only made her worry even more as she said, " But sister doesn't that mean that the commoners and nobles alike will purchase the cheaper meat? Why will they purchase the one that is set at a higher price?"
" Meat cannot be kept for even a day, if it's not sold then we will be making a loss, wouldn't we?"
The livestock raised in the animal farm might not be a huge number but it was still a bit more than normal consumption!
Yu Dong smiled at her cousin and then said, " Ah Tong, we are not going to kill the entire livestock in a day. We are first going to take a look at the market if it sells okay then we will deal with the rest, if not we will use it in the restaurant that I have purchased. One way or another we will be earning money."
" The current situation is where people have money but they don't have any way to buy food and water, if we hand them that they will willingly offer us money and more importantly we will be creating connections with the rich and influential, at this moment the commoners are all filling their own storehouses and are refusing to sell anything to the nobles unless they pay hundreds and thousand taels, don't you think they might be dissatisfied with such a thing?
If so we will be taking advantage of the situation."

" The nobles will remember us and keep purchasing from us even when the situation gets better."
And once they had gotten the taste of the meat and vegetables that were being sold at her mall, Yu Dong did not think that they would be going back ever.
Of course, the mall was at the starting point, she still needed to open a section for clothes, bags, accessories and make-up.
If possible Yu Dong would have waited but this was the correct time to take advantage of the situation and advertise her mall that way she would not have to worry in the future.
" You are right, compared to buying meat and vegetables for ten and hundred taels, it's better if they pay it to us," said Yu Tong. Though the village was on fire the fields were at worst stomped on as most of the damage was taken by the greenhouses. Thus, they could still sell vegetables without any worries.
Yu Dong then continued to say, " I am going to open the mall in the next two days. Though it's only going to sell bread, jam, meat and vegetables along with rice —— it's a good start for now."
There was a reason why Yu Dong chose to sell her products after two days. She had released some of her spiritual energy when she was up at the mountain and that gave her a bit of information about what was going on in the villages next to her.
As the temperature was getting higher, the streams were getting dried up and in the next two days, the streams and ponds would be completely dried up in other villages.
These villages were the ones who did not listen to her which meant that they would be fleeing today or tomorrow which would create even more shortage of food and grains in the market. As for the only one who listened to her was the village under Da Qiao, they had dug a few wells in their wells but they did not dig enough to grow vegetables which meant that they would be keeping their food stocked up and would not be selling anything.
And even if they did sell it, they usually sold sweet potatoes, and radish pickles along with some wild vegetables and black beans. There was no way they would clash with her mall, this way the two villages wouldn't develop any rift between one another.
In fact, Yu Dong was even thinking about selling sweet potato chips and radish pickles made by Da Qiao's village in her mall with a share of 30-70. She had tasted the pickles made by the villagers of Da Qiao village and they tasted really good!
