Pork is getting more and more expensive now. Why hasn’t the price of local meat buns increased?

The price of pork is getting more and more expensive now. It can be said that the price record of pork is being refreshed every day. After all, the price of live pigs is constantly rising. It will not work if the price of pork does not rise, because the price cost of pork is It continues to rise. The mainstream price of pork on the market is now about 20 yuan/catty. In some places, it may be sold for about 28 yuan/catty. In the past, my family used to stew some ribs to improve their lives on weekends. Now the ribs here have risen to It’s 35 yuan/jin. To be honest, I really feel like I can’t afford it.

Although the price of pork has gone up, some bosses of steamed bun shops have not raised their prices. Pork buns still cost one yuan each, and xiaolongbao still cost five yuan a basket. Why don’t the bosses raise their prices? Aren't you afraid of losing money? As the saying goes, "From Nanjing to Beijing, what you buy is not what you sell." Of course, a businessman who loses money will not do it. As for why the price of steamed buns has not increased, the main reasons are as follows. Let's take a look.

First, there are many businesses selling steamed buns on the market now. In order to maintain the old customers in their stores and ensure that the customer base of their steamed bun shops is not lost, most bosses are unwilling to increase prices. After all, steamed buns The shop not only sells meat buns, but also vegetarian stuffings, three delicacies stuffings, etc. In addition, the bun shop also sells various kinds of porridge, so even if you make less meat buns, it won't have much impact. After all, other products are still making money. As long as the sales volume is there, there is no need to worry about not making money. Second, the owners of some steamed stuffed bun shops will reduce the use of good meat to ensure profits, such as using some frozen meat, or trough meat. The price of these meats is not high, and we ordinary people will not take the initiative to buy such meat. Meat, so the price increase of this part of meat is very small. In addition, some vegetables will be added to the meat buns to replace it. The boss will say that after all, the price of pork has increased. If you reduce the amount of meat appropriately, consumers will not be able to tell. What.

Third, reduce the supply of meat buns. For example, if we go to a breakfast restaurant and want to order meat buns, the boss will say that they are sold out. If we want to eat, we have to wait for the next pot of buns to come out. We are usually in a hurry to go to work in the morning. , the time is relatively dry, who would waste too much time waiting for meat buns, so eat some vegetarian buns or other meals. In this way, the sales volume of meat buns will be small, and the sales volume of other meals will be large, and the same make money.
