Cooked food people say you can earn hundreds of thousands a year by making cooked food. A self-employed businessman in our village specializes in selling pig head meat, including pig head meat, pig intestines, pork liver, pig trotters, etc. He can sell about 1,500 yuan of pig head meat a day, and he sells it in a month.

The amount is 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and the net profit is about 20,000 yuan.

How much is the profit from pork head meat? I went to his house in person to witness the marinating process of pig head meat and calculated the account.

3 kilograms and 4 taels of pig head walnut meat cost 15 yuan per kilogram and the total price is 51 yuan. After being boiled in cold water, blanched for 60 minutes, soaked for 30 minutes, after processing, there was still 2.58 kilograms left on the weighing scale. It was marinated.

The pig head meat sells for about 45 yuan per kilogram, and the gross sales profit is 116 yuan. Subtracting the cost of gas, onions, ginger, spices and other seasonings consumed in the marinating process, it is about 10 yuan. After excluding the cost of raw pig head meat, the final net profit is 56 yuan.

Then the net profit equivalent to one pound of pig head meat is 16 yuan.

Seeing the picture here, many friends may think that the profit of pork head meat is too high, close to 50%, but I visited more than a dozen shops in our county that make braised meat, and one of the more honest bosses told me that now

Regarding the difficulty of braised meat such as pork head meat, he said that there seemed to be more than a dozen shops on this street, but only three of them were profitable. The rest were just a sideshow this year. It cannot be said that they lost a lot of money, but at least they did not make any money.

Only those who make pork head meat and other cooked food can understand the hardships of making it. It is not as huge a profit as imagined. The elder brother shared his experience of making cooked food. In fact, it is really difficult to make cooked food now.

The first is tiredness.

Cooking cooked food is tiring, really tiring. You don’t have any free time every day. If you want to save trouble, buy other people’s raw materials and braise the pork head meat and sell it back. That’s very simple. It’s easier, but the profit is very high.

Small, less than 10%.

So if you want to make money by making pork head meat, you have to handle every process yourself, from plucking to cleaning to step-by-step marinating. It really depends on physical strength in exchange for profits.

The second thing in the picture is the high pressure of competition.

You can go anywhere, whether it's on the street or a farmer's market, there are more than 10 cooked food sellers in any place. With so many people doing it, the competition is extremely fierce. This is just peer pressure.

But on the one hand, big brands are increasingly crushing them.

There are so many cooked food brands that I won’t list them all here. Why are these big brands so powerful at overpowering small shops?

Because you purchase dozens of kilograms at a time, there are hundreds of kilograms more. Big brand merchants only purchase several tons, and the purchase cost is different. Big merchants compress the cost of ingredients to a very low level, and the central kitchen processes it to the lower stores.

Delivery, this cost can crush you to some extent.

Your costs are earned through your own hard work. The purchase price is more than one-third higher than that of big brands, and the profit can reach up to 50%, but most of them remain around 20-30%. You have to consider the increase in raw materials.

price, waste that cannot be sold after production.
