113. My name is Liu Chunxia
With the experience of signing contracts in clothing stores, Jiang Shiyue finished writing the contract in less than five minutes this time.
After finishing, she immediately handed the contract to the man, "Brother, please check if there are any questions or anything you want to add. If not, you can sign it."
The man scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "Big sister, I can't read very well. Otherwise, you can read it to me."
Jiang Shiyue was stunned when she heard this, but she still read the words on the contract as the man requested.
In this era, not everyone is literate, and this is normal.
After listening to the contract and confirming that it was correct, the man asked, "Where should I sign it?"
Although I can't read, I can still write my own name.
Jiang Shiyue pointed and said, "Just sign here, and then put your fingerprint on your name. Make two copies."
After the contract was signed and he got his own copy, Jiang Shiyue immediately counted out half a year's rent from his bag and handed it to the man, "Brother, count it and see if the money is correct."
The man was originally looking at Jiang Shiyue's counting, so he counted again before handing the key to Jiang Shiyue. "The shop is now in your hands for the next six months. I wish you a prosperous business."
Jiang Shiyue grinned and said, "Thank you for your kind words, big brother!"
In order to make it convenient for Jiang Shiyue, the man did not take away any equipment in the store. However, it is nothing more than some steamers for steaming buns and steamed buns, boilers for cooking noodles, and some tables, chairs and benches. It can be said that it is small but complete.
The storefront is taken over, and the next step is what kind of business to do.
You have to know that it takes twenty to thirty minutes to ride a bike from the village, and she usually gets up around seven or eight in the morning. If we wait until she wakes up by that time, then there’s no point in selling breakfast.
In addition to this store, there is also a clothing store. I need to go there to help out in the afternoon, but I don’t have much time.
After all, she couldn't possibly live in town, as that would mean she and Gu Yan'an would be separated.
Well... although it's only about ten or twenty kilometers away.
Jiang Shiyue just sat in the store, thinking about all the possibilities.
Finally she decided to hire a few reliable people to help her sell breakfast, lunch and dinner, since pre-made products could be purchased in the mall anyway.
You don’t have to get up too early in the morning, just get up around five o’clock, then buy some buns and steam them in the boiler, and eat and drink them without making a sound.
There are also noodles, which are also simpler. As long as you know how to cook, you can get some pre-made vegetable dumplings when the time comes. It doesn’t take that much time.
At noon, we can sell self-heating lunch boxes or pre-prepared meals, which are also low in cost.
Then in the afternoon, I sell some braised food and cold dishes. Basically, the store is open all day and there are always people there.
I just don't know where to find three reliable people. After all, she is just a hands-off boss, leaving all the work to others, and she is only responsible for collecting the money and paying the wages.
Just as Jiang Shiyue was racking his brains to think of what to do, a woman suddenly appeared in the store, "Hey, why is the store still open today?"
Seeing Jiang Shiyue sitting alone in the store, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
Although he was very dissatisfied with the woman's uninvited behavior, Jiang Shiyue still explained: "Brother Zhao rented the storefront to me, and now I have taken over this storefront."
The woman was stunned when she heard this, "So sudden!"
After saying that, he muttered quietly, "I heard before that his wife is sick, it seems to be true!"
The shop was originally small, and there were only two people there at the time, so Jiang Shiyue naturally heard it clearly.
It’s just that she couldn’t say much about other people’s affairs and could only pretend she didn’t hear anything.
Seeing that Jiang Shiyue didn't say anything, the woman was not embarrassed and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do with your store next? Are you still going to sell breakfast?"
Jiang Shiyue nodded, "Yes, selling breakfast."
After looking around, he found that Jiang Shiyue was the only one in the store, so he sat down directly and asked tentatively: "So you are alone? Can you handle it?"
Jiang Shiyue looked at her nose, and then looked at her heart, her eyes flickered, "It is true that I am the only one now, and I am afraid that I will be too busy, so I don't know when it will open."
The woman's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she asked directly, "Do you want to help? I live nearby, and I don't have much to do except helping take care of the children."
Jiang Shiyue seemed to be a little conflicted. Seeing this, the woman continued, "You can decide on the salary or something. As long as it can provide breakfast for our whole family, that's fine."
Anyway, I'm only busy in the morning, so it's good enough to be able to prepare breakfast for the whole family.
In fact, she had come here to ask before, but they were just a couple and didn't need anyone's help.
Now that Jiang Shiyue has taken over, she naturally has to give it a try, just in case it works.
Jiang Shiyue thought about it for several minutes, and finally nodded in the woman's expectant eyes, "Of course you can, but I'm going to sell some steamed buns and noodles. But I can't come over in the morning, so you may have to work alone in the store. I don't know if you can do it alone."
The woman patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely possible! If not, I can also get my husband to come over to help."
You know, a family's breakfast costs about one dollar a day. If I can continue working here, I can save nearly thirty dollars a month and earn some money. Why not do it?
Jiang Shiyue curled her lips imperceptibly and said, "But if you want to include breakfast, the wages may not be much."
The woman waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. It's only a morning job anyway. You can pay me whatever you want."
Jiang Shiyue nodded, "Okay, let's try it for a week. If possible, we can sign a long-term contract."
Although there is a seven-day usage period, the woman's enthusiasm is still not extinguished. "Then boss, when will we open for business?"
"tomorrow."
Then he pointed to a pile of equipment nearby and said, "You know how to use those things, right?"
The woman grinned, "Don't worry, it will work."
At least I have seen my previous boss use it and it is not difficult to operate at all.
Jiang Shiyue nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What's your name, sister? Where do you live?"
"My name is Liu Chunxia. I live in the alley next door. It only takes a few minutes to get here."
"Can I go and see it?"
After all, we didn’t know each other before, and it will open tomorrow, so we have to be careful.
Nothing else matters, money is what matters.
She couldn't come in the morning, and had no idea how much the store's daily turnover would be.
Besides, there is no way to install surveillance these days, so naturally, whatever Liu Chunxia says is what it is.
The reason why she agreed to let Liu Chunxia come to help was simply because she couldn't find the right person.
The only people she knew in town were Zhao Li and Lin Xiangmin, but Zhao Li had to help out in a clothing store, and she didn't intend to let Lin Xiangmin and his wife know that she had opened a restaurant.
