Chapter 274 Limited Supply

Wang Qiong nodded, indicating that there was no problem. Director Liu asked the three of them to sit for a while and quickly went to the accountant in the nearby accounting office and called over, "Hurry up and get the contract."

The accountant didn't know about this yet and was a little confused. "Why do we need a contract? Do we have anyone to sign it?"

Director Liu said excitedly: "Someone just placed an order for 1,500 pieces."

"Really?" The accountant looked surprised.

Director Liu nodded: "Of course it's true, but the price is very low. However, if you are conservative, you can still make some money. Just get through this period and it will be fine."

"It's good to have business. You've been looking for work for several months." The accountant said without stopping, looking for the contract, picked up the things and went to the director's office with Director Liu.

The contract was signed very smoothly. Director Liu excitedly sent the people all the way to the bus station before returning to the factory.

Liu Yubing, who was standing at the station, complained, "Director Liu is so enthusiastic, it scares me a little."

Fu Shan also felt that: "Yes, it seems that the factory is really in trouble, otherwise it would be too enthusiastic."

Wang Qiong nodded in agreement with the two of them, but also held the bag carefully. After all, it contained the contract. She had just discussed with the factory manager and decided to make 100 of each type first and send them to the store at the school gate for use first. It would not be too late to send the others later. The factory manager also promised that these 300 would be made and sent within a week by working overtime.

Wang Qiong naturally agreed.

The three of them waited for a while before getting on the bus. It was indeed not even 5 o'clock yet, but the bus had already left at 4:45. The school was over by then, and Chen Yuan and Zhang Yunyun, who had finished their classes early, arrived at the store early and started making double skin milk and orange juice. When they had just finished making them and put them aside, He Jun and Ye Qian also finished their classes. He Jun went next door to take over Aunt Zhang's shift, and Ye Qian took over Aunt Wang's shift.

Aunt Wang and Shen Feng were reluctant to leave. As they cut the meat in their hands, they said, "It's still early. With so many people here, you can't handle it all. I'll leave after this group is done." Aunt Zhang came over from next door to help, saying, "That's right. It's not like employees leave on their own just because they're busy."

The two aunts refused to leave and insisted on helping, but Ye Qian felt relieved. While they were busy, she went to a nearby rice shop and bought two large bags of rice. She said, "Put them in here. Come here."

The worker who delivered the rice put the rice down and left. Ye Qian came out and said, "The rice has been bought. Let's use this small stew pot to cook rice tomorrow and use the small pot from before." Although the pot is small and can't hold much stewed vegetables, it can hold a lot of rice. Moreover, she doesn't plan to add other rice to the white rice. She plans to cook it directly so that it will taste better.

Although the price is not cheap, there are many people here. Ye Qian estimates that this small pot can make 30 bowls of rice. If people keep queuing up, she won’t be able to make enough. It is better to limit the quantity directly, 30 bowls in the morning and 30 bowls in the afternoon, and sell them like this. No matter whether the business is good or not, just limit the quantity. If you can’t sell it all, you can eat it yourself.

At the time of getting off work, more people lined up at the door. Ye Qian simply found a piece of cardboard and wrote a sign saying that the braised pork rice was limited and would be available starting tomorrow. Many people asked about it, but they hesitated when they heard about the price. A family meal cost 1.7 yuan, but a bowl of braised pork rice cost 3 yuan, which was not something every family could afford.

Ye Qian explained, "We use refined rice. Refined rice is very expensive, so it's naturally more expensive. That's why we sell it in limited quantities."

When everyone heard the word "fine rice", they all nodded: "Fine rice is indeed expensive, but this price is still very expensive."

"Come and take a look tomorrow and tell us if it's worth it." This aroused people's curiosity, and they said, "We will definitely come and take a look tomorrow to see if it's worth it."

The two aunts smiled as they cut the meat, knowing clearly in their minds that Ye Qian really knew how to do business.

All the braised dishes were sold out around 7 o'clock. Business was so good that the meat ordered before must not be enough. I have already called the meat ordering party to increase the order quantity. As for the vegetables, I have to find someone to order and deliver them. Otherwise, I have to buy them myself every day, which is too tiring. At most, I can give her more money and earn less, but I can't let myself be exhausted.

After everyone finished cleaning up, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang, and Shen Feng were also about to leave work. Ye Qian asked them to stay for a while. She knew that Aunt Wang and Shen Feng were the only two people at home, so she asked Aunt Zhang: "Are you going home to cook tonight? Will your family have any objections to you leaving get off work so late and going home?"

"No, my family has no objection. My daughter-in-law is at home taking care of the children, and she just needs to cook."

Ye Qian thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's discuss it with you. From now on, we'll change it to 7:30, and we'll provide two meals a day. Of course, your salary will be increased..." Before she finished speaking, the three of them immediately shook their heads and said, "No, no, it's what we should do. It's okay to leave work later." Ye Qian quickly added, "How can that be? Whatever we have to do, we'll add 10 yuan a month, provide two meals, and the rest period will remain the same, with one day off on the weekends. Aunt Zhang, if we come over, you can come here and help directly. Is that okay with you?"

They are running a legitimate business and are not scammers. They do what they should do, do not cheat their employees, and do not deduct a penny from their employees. This is how the relationship between the two can last.

The two men couldn't resist Ye Qian and happily agreed.

Aunt Zhang agreed readily. Ye Qian also noticed that Aunt Zhang didn't know much about clothes, but was quite interested in this. It seemed that she would have to find someone else to look after the clothing store in the future. After saying that, she let them leave.

Aunt Wang and Chen Feng didn't care about each other. Before, she had to prepare her own meals, but now she didn't even have to. On the way back after parting with Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang said to Chen Feng, "Ye Qian is really our benefactor." Chen Feng also agreed with her mother's point of view: "Yes, otherwise I would still be lying at home, how could I go out to make money."

Aunt Zhang couldn't hide her excitement. Her daughter-in-law could tell at a glance that her mother-in-law was in a good mood. After serving her the warm dinner, she asked, "Mom, why are you in such a good mood?"

"You don't have to prepare meals for me anymore. My workplace gave us a raise, 40 yuan a month, and two meals are provided. My working hours are longer, but it's not particularly tiring."

When the daughter-in-law heard this, she said excitedly: "Oh my god, there is such a good thing, are you still short of people?"

Aunt Zhang choked, "If you can't leave even if we need someone, what will happen to the family?"

The daughter-in-law also knew that since the elderly at home were working, someone would have to stay home to take care of the children. She suddenly lost her excitement. Aunt Zhang said, "When I get my salary, I will bring back some braised meat from our store for you to try. It tastes really good."
