Hello everyone, this is Wang Gang
Yesterday, a fan PM-ed me
and asked me a decent question
I think the question was raised in depth
so today, I'm making this video and interact with you guys on this topic
The question he asked is
as the pork price rose recently
he wants to know what butchers think of pork price rising
and also how it affects common people
And also for cafes
or restaurants
whether they have some insights into pork price rising
So we'll interact with you in this video
Now I'm going to find my uncle
As the business has become worse recently,
uncle has been going to market less frequently
Today he's working in the fields
I'm going to find him
Now I'm in the village
and going to the fields
This is our village
We have many pieces of fields here
Uncle is applying pesticide to the rapeseed
Applying insecticide
I might have heard uncle's voice
Eh, damn
Gotta back up here
Yes, should have applied (pesticide) earlier
The leather jacket is so stylish
It's ragged. Not interesting
We got a fan who sent us a PM
He has some questions for you to answer
Q&A, isn't it?
What does he want to know?
He asks, are you affected by pork price rising
Yeah, I'm of course affected
How are you affected?
How?
Residents can't afford it. It's expensive
So they buy less
And business becomes harder
Those who bought 3 jin (of pork) before buy only 2 jin now
Those who bought 2 jin buy one 1 jin now
Those who bought 1 jin buy only half now
That's what happens when pork price rises
which is very very bad for us in the business
Very bad?
Those who have pork everyday have changed to have it once every three days
They want to save money
You know, it's hard to make money in the countryside
Same time in the past years, I could sell one and a half (pigs)
This year, only half is sold now
The difference is huge
Think about it. It was 8-12 yuan/jin before
Now it has risen to 25-26
That's more than 50% difference
Think about it
Is that right?
So, aren't you still supposed to make some sausages?
Of course
Last year I made so many sausages
50-60 jin pork was made into sausages.
And cured two legs (pork hind legs)
Don't ever think about that this year, I'm afraid
Or take 1 jin or two, just for tasting
Take 2 jin or 3, taste it and nothing else
Don't you fight "economy" too hard
Short of source of the "economy"
Couldn't make money this year
Alright. Now let me chat about
how pork price rising affects us in the catering business
In fact, the biggest affection is that
When the pork price rises, it rises instantly
However, if we have a pork dish in our restaurant
the menu price can't rise immediately
Because, if someone has a dish in your restaurant today
and finds its price increased in the next day
this isn't good for the frequent customers
So for restaurants, when the material price rises
only after it's been rising for a period
then our menu price may increase by a little
So that's a pretty big pressure on the catering business
In the current situation
if you order dishes like "Huiguo Rou" (double-cooked pork), "Shuizhu Roupian" ("water-boiled pork slices"), or stir-fried pork juliennes
Those used to earn a lot of profit can't earn much
Those used to earn little profit are basically losing money
Alright, I'm going to check uncle's progress
Uncle, you are so professional at it
What's up? If I'm not good at it, what else should I be good at?
Are you kidding? I'm been working on crops for so many years
and I can't deal with this?
Look, these (rapeseeds) are planted in perfect straight lines
Yeah, have that skill
Let me help you?
You? You'll get smelly as ***
Doesn't matter
Nope. You can't get it on your body (it's poisonous)
That's why I'm in leather jacket and trousers
Alright, that's everything of this video
I'm gonna work
Bye bye
