I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest
Chapter 274 Different Lamb Skewers
Two days later, Chen Mu packed up his simple luggage, and followed Pazil on the journey of "sales" in the beginning of spring.
"Although Shannan and Shanbei are both in Xinjiang and Qi province, because they are separated by a mountain, the two sides are actually very different in terms of environment."
"The environment in Shanbei is better. The climate is humid, with large forests, lakes, and grasslands. In ancient times, it was the best living area for nomads."
"Shannan is completely different. There are more deserts, the climate is arid, and the environment is harsh. The largest desert in the northwest is also here..."
Sitting in the car, Pazil kept introducing Chen Mu, very carefully.
While listening, Chen Mu looked at the scenery outside the window.
Although it's just a road outside, repeating the same landscape, the roads built in the middle of the desert are rare. Such a landscape is much more spectacular than on the Xunjiang Highway, and Chen Mu is not enough to see it.
Pazil’s car is a Mercedes-Benz Spint, which can seat ten people and is very spacious.
There were a total of four people on the bus. In addition to Chen Mu, there was also a female secretary of Pazil, and the other person was the driver.
Pazil’s female secretary is a Uighur aunt, her body has been seriously out of shape, but Chen Mu knows her because Anal Guli once told him that Pazil’s female secretary was said to be a very good accountant in the past. , Managed the company's accounts for many years.
Later, the Uighur aunt felt that her memory was not so good, and she was reluctant to do accounting anymore. Paz extorted her to turn her into her own secretary, which is equivalent to the position of a company butler.
Usually when Pazil is not in the company, the Uighur aunt can take care of all matters big and small, and can make up his mind.
After digesting Pazil's introduction, Chen Mu asked: "Uncle Pazil, shouldn't agriculture be better because the climate in Shanbei is good? Why don't you sell agricultural machinery in northern Xinjiang?"
Pazil laughed and nodded to Chen Mu: "Yes, if you can ask this question, it means that your kid has brains, and also used his brains."
After a slight pause, he went on to say: "In terms of planting types and planting conditions, Shanbei is indeed more suitable for the development of agricultural planting. However, the development of the western region has been prosperous in recent years, and the state supports large-scale cultivation. Most of their farms are relatively large. They don’t like to buy agricultural machinery by themselves. They prefer to rent them. Although the cost is a little higher, they don’t need to repair them if they break down. It saves worry and trouble... Well, even if they want to buy them, they won’t find a middleman like me. , They will directly find the manufacturer to get a cheaper price, and after-sales service may be easier."
Chen Mu thought for a while, and understood the meaning of Pazil's words.
Take his forest farm as an example. As the forest farm gets bigger and bigger, he wanted to buy more tractors before, but buying tractors is too expensive, and he really hesitates.
Now that Pazil said that, he decided to go back and ask to see how the rent was calculated.
Pazil went on to say: "Shannan is different. Because of the environment, people here cannot engage in large-scale agricultural planting. Therefore, the farmers here are relatively scattered. Those who engage in the business of renting agricultural machinery are also scattered. It's hard to do, so they usually buy it themselves."
Chen Mu fully understood: "That's why you have to go to Shannan to run sales every year, because those big companies don't want to spend so much energy to run such a small market."
He learned economics and of course understands the principles of cost and benefit.
Instead of spending so much energy on expanding the market in a place like this, a large company might as well hand over the business directly to the agents underneath and concentrate on making products.
Pazil sighed and said with a bitter face: "For so many years, I basically have to go there every year. In my memory, it seems that only the year when Anal was born, I did not come, and another time was Atta. I'm sick... this kind of day is also very tiring, alas, I wanted to say that I will leave this to you in the future, but now your forest farm is doing so well, I don't know what to do with this stall."
Is this considered easy to open and difficult to close?
Chen Mu was amused by Pazil's words, but looking at the middle-aged handsome guy, it seemed really embarrassing, so he could only endure it.
The first stop of the itinerary first came to K city.
Chen Mu has heard of K City, which is the most famous city in Shannan. It is said to be the political, economic and cultural center of Shannan, and it is also the largest distribution center for agricultural and animal husbandry products.
Before coming, his impression of K City was an ancient city outside the territory, the fragrance of melons and fruits, and some violent incidents.
But after really entering K City, Chen Mu discovered that it was a big and vibrant city.
Although not as modern as those big cities along the coast, there is also a prosperous faction that belongs to it alone.
The driver is obviously familiar with the streets here. When Pazil said "Go to the barbecue restaurant we often go to", the driver quickly turned left and right on the highway, and quickly stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, so I think about this barbecue."
Pazil greeted several people in the car to get off, pointed to the barbecue restaurant and said to Chen Mu: "You try too. This is my favorite restaurant. Every time you come here, you must have a meal. ."
Chen Mu looked at it. From the outside, this barbecue restaurant looks like a very ordinary street shop. It looks inconspicuous, but there are already many people waiting in line on the side of the road, and the table is directly on the street. Surface,
Pazil led the people to the end of the line and slowly lined up.
Although there were many people in the line and they walked fast, it was finally their turn after about half an hour.
After the four of them sat down, Chen Mu wanted to take a look at the food card, but Pazile grabbed the food card and put it down. He smiled and said, "These are for outsiders. Regular customers like us don’t need to look. of."
After speaking, he already beckoned to the waiter and ordered a bunch of things one after another.
"Everyone comes with a bowl of Liangpi, then lamb skewers, each with two skewers, and then another with a naan, a glass of pomegranate juice for each person, a pot of pot broth for each person, roast lamb buns, you look ..."
Pazile ordered a lot of things, and Chen Mu couldn't remember it, but there was one thing he thought was very strange. Why only ordered two lamb skewers, which seemed a bit not enough.
Chen Mu finally figured out this doubt until the things were delivered.
It turns out that the lamb skewers here are not much the same as what he knew.
The lamb skewers here are bone-in mutton. It is said that a skewers cost about 20. The portion is full. It is wrapped in a layer of egg starch and the like. It is baked in the naan stove. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. With the unique fragrance of roast lamb, the taste is too good.
