After the New Year, Linnan County became even more lively. Originally there were many educated youths in Linan who went to the countryside, but almost all of them came back before this year's New Year.
The current commune leader is a person with a long-term vision and has long been aware of this problem. He built a new machinery manufacturing factory on an open space near the train station, which is of course also state-owned. Most of the educated youth who were not assigned jobs were assigned to this factory.
The dormitory building is also built near the factory, and there are obviously many more people coming and going than before. But because the arrangement was hasty, the logistics support was not fully kept up.
For example, the cafeteria provides very little breakfast, and if you go there late, there will be nothing to eat.
This actually gave Liu Zhi's stall an excellent opportunity for development.
After discussing with Feng Xiyue, the stall currently mainly sells sesame seed pancakes, steamed buns, soy milk, and Yangchun noodles. The main focus is freshness.
I saw some educated youths when they went to the countryside. I ordered two sesame cakes with some nostalgia, "Comrade, your cooking is really good! It's exactly the same as what I had when I went to the countryside."
Liu Zhi is not afraid of interpersonal communication. She enthusiastically chats with educated youths about taste and areas that need improvement. Because she is sincere and enthusiastic, even though it is a stall that has just been set up, the business is higher than that of ordinary stalls. Be better.
Every morning, both of them have to get up very early. Feng Xiyue is responsible for making preparations, while Liu Zhi can only do what he can to help. Because Yuan Shanmei had not started school yet, she also came to Linan with her at this time.
She was more excited than Liu Zhi. She got up early every day to help Feng Xiyue, and she did help a lot.
When they are busy, Yuan Shanmei and Liu Zhi are responsible for carrying plates and clearing the tables. Sometimes Liu Zhi feels too tired, but Yuan Shanmei's small body still shuttles around every table like a hard-working bee. .
Liu Zhi is really amazed. This kid has been able to do it since he was a child!
After doing it for more than a week, Liu Zhi felt a little tired, but the other two were still very excited and full of enthusiasm every day. Especially when counting money.
The amount of preparation was not too much on the first day, and I made 5 yuan, and 8 yuan on the second day. By the fourth or fifth day, I gradually figured out the needs of diners.
Basically, 50 pieces of fried dough sticks can be sold every day. A piece of 2 taels sells for 4 cents. The steamed buns cost 1 cent a basket, which can be sold for about 30 baskets. There are also sesame seed cakes and Yangchun noodles, and they can basically sell 20 to 30 portions every day. The soy milk is slightly more, and there are about 50 portions.
Based on this calculation, the daily income can basically reach 10 yuan. After deducting costs and rent, you can basically earn 5 yuan.
After getting this data, Feng Xiyue was so happy that she earned 5 yuan a day! In other words, you can earn 150 yuan a month! That’s 6,000 yuan a year! At this rate, it would take two years to set up a stall and become a household worth ten thousand yuan. In the past, Feng Xiyue really couldn't even think of it!
"Liu Zhi! This stall has a future, we must work hard!" Feng Xiyue opened her eyes wide and was full of ambition.
Of course Liu Zhi was happy that her partners had such high enthusiasm, but she also gradually realized the problem. The 5 yuan gross profit she currently earned did not deduct the wages of the three people. After a long time, Shanmei returned to school. , she is unable to work, and Feng Xiyue alone is not enough.
Therefore, based on the current economic benefits, it is cost-effective to either increase the variety of breakfast so that diners can buy more, or to open up more sales and expand customer sources. In this way, hiring two waiters is cost-effective.
But all these actions must be carried out under the premise of sufficient personnel to ensure that no big trouble occurs.
The most urgent thing is to find someone reliable to help.
The first thing Liu Zhi thought of was Yuan Meilian.
Mei Lian is quick with her hands and feet and is good at cooking, so she is undoubtedly the best person to help. But for Mei Lian to participate, Yang Lan and Yuan Chengxu will definitely not be able to bypass it. They will definitely use this as a threat to force Liu Zhi to agree to something. If they cannot be satisfied, they will definitely publicize Liu Zhi's stall outside. .
This time is not suitable for publicity, Liu Zhi just wants to be a good person with his tail between his legs.
So after much hesitation, Yuan Meilian was still given up.
So who else? Liu Zhi tried her best to replay all the people she had met in this world in her mind, but she had no clue.
Liu Zhi was still thinking about it carefully when the right candidate came to her door.
It's Wang Erfeng, the one in charge of making clothes for Yuan Shanmei. Liu Zhi still asked her to help Yuan Shanmei make her new clothes for the New Year.
Wang Erfeng came to pick up someone at the train station. Before he was picked up, he saw a very familiar man soliciting diners at a small stall with his hands and feet.
Wang Erfeng touched his eyes and saw that the person was still there, so he didn't care whether the person to pick him up had arrived or not, and rushed here to find out what was going on.
"Liu Zhi! It's really you!" Wang Erfeng exclaimed excitedly, "Why didn't you tell me when you came to the south!"
It happens to be a busy time at this time. Whenever Liu Zhi takes a break, someone will shout, "Comrade, are my buns ready?"
She had no choice but to run over in a hurry to put breakfast on the table, and take advantage of this opportunity to say a few words to Wang Erfeng.
Seeing this, Wang Erfeng spontaneously joined in the process of carrying the dishes. Needless to say, she walked quickly and steadily, and the soup in her hand did not spill at all. She served it much better than Liu Zhi.
"That's a lot of time!" Liu Zhi praised.
"That's how I learned it. I used to have many guests at home!"
Wang Erfeng's help helped the rush hour pass. The third aunt of the person she picked up had already walked out of the train station on her own, and happened to be hungry and walked towards Liu Zhi's stall. "Comrade, give me two buns."
When Wang Erfeng heard that the voice sounded familiar, she turned around and saw that it was indeed the third aunt.
"Oh, Third Aunt, I'm so sorry. I was so busy that I forgot about you!" Wang Erfeng hurriedly ran forward to pick up Third Aunt's luggage. Liu Zhi also entertained her warmly and served her a steamed bun and a sesame seed cake. And a bowl of salty soy milk.
"Third aunt, if you don't have enough, this meal is our treat for you! It should be regarded as a thank you gift from Erfeng for helping us here!"
The third aunt had accumulated a lot of resentment, but she didn't pursue it for the sake of the food. She just complained a little, "If you have something to tell me, I've been looking for you for a long time."
Wang Erfeng looked at Liu Zhi sheepishly.
Fortunately, Sangu was very satisfied with the breakfast. She only took a bite of the buns before her eyes widened, "You guys are really good at making these buns! The skin is thin and the meat is thick, with plenty of juice. The taste is also very precise and not salty." Not bland, really good!”
Wang Erfeng took the opportunity to speak, "I forgot to tell you, my third aunt works as a waitress in a state-owned hotel in Haishi. She has eaten more delicious food than us combined! She said it tastes delicious, so it must be delicious!"
Liu Zhi quickly followed the flattering team, "Oh, is that so? Third aunt, you are so awesome! We are lucky today, otherwise, why don't you give us some guidance and see if there are any improvements we can make?"
Several breakfast items were placed in front of Sangu, and she took a bite of each one, "The green onions in these sesame seed cakes are more delicious if they are thicker. The soy milk is not bad, but it is not as strong as the ones in our restaurant."
After San Gu made a few suggestions, Liu Zhi happily wrapped a few things in paper bags, "Thank you, San Gu, do you want to order anything else? I'll give you more."
< br>
Although Sangu is a person who has seen the world, it is cheap and does not take advantage of it. She smiled without saying anything and saw Liu Zhi filling the bag full.
"You, a lesbian, know how to do business, and your business will definitely be prosperous in the future!"
Liu Zhi smiled, "Then let me lend you some good words!"
Wang Erfeng felt a little sorry. It was obviously his fault, but he had let Liu Zhi waste so much breakfast. Taking advantage of the break between the third aunt's breakfast, he ran over and said to Liu Zhi, "I will send this aunt home first, and I will come to you later." .”
Liu Zhi told Wang Erfeng her address and said goodbye to them both with a smile.
After the others left, Liu Zhi excitedly told Feng Xiyue, "Xiyue Xiyue, your right-hand helper is coming soon!"
"That Erfeng?" Feng Xiyue wondered, "How do you know she will definitely come?"
Liu Zhi didn't know if Erfeng wanted to come subjectively, but he thought she was very suitable and she was willing to pay a good wage. She didn't believe Erfeng wouldn't be tempted.
Actually...she just wanted to be lazy as soon as possible.
I have been busy until about three o'clock, and the stall can finally rest. In fact, there are still a few diners here and there, but Feng Xiyue gets up at around three o'clock every day to prepare breakfast. If she closes the stall too late, Liu Zhi is afraid that her body will Too much to take.
At dinner, Liu Zhi took Feng Xiyue and Yuan Shanmei to the state-owned hotel to improve the food with a stack of meat stamps and food stamps that He Xiuyuan had given him before.
Feng Xiyue was worried about money, "One meal in a state-owned restaurant is enough to last at home for several days. What are you spending that money on?"
Liu Zhi explained with a smile, "I'm going! Just treat it as an inspection and study!"
As soon as Yuan Shanmei heard that she was going to a state-owned hotel for dinner, she started looking at the time eagerly from noon, and asked after a while, "Aunt Liu Zhi, what time is it now?"
Liu Zhi smiled and touched Yuan Shanmei's face, "It's still early! Don't worry, we will definitely call you when we go to the hotel!"
Yuan Shanmei smiled and took a sip of saliva, "Then I want to eat braised pork, is that okay?"
"Of course! Braised pork doesn't matter, I'll buy you whatever Shanmei wants to eat!"
"Then..." Yuan Shanmei's eyes narrowed, "I also want to eat the beef jerky that Teacher He brought me last time!"
The beef jerky was so delicious that Yuan Shanmei took it to her grandmother's house to share it with a few friends during the Chinese New Year. They all finished it within a few days.
Yuan Shanmei gets greedy just thinking about it.
"This... wait until I go to the department store to find it for you!" Liu Zhi didn't expect that she would almost be slapped in the face by the little girl just after bragging. There is not much beef these days, and Linan is not a grassland area. Where can she get it? Beef jerky?
How far! That's right... Liu Zhi suddenly thought of the person she hadn't seen for a long time, and was so busy that she almost forgot about him.
Liu Zhi is going to write a letter to tell him and ask him to bring more beef jerky! It's not because I miss him.
