Su Qingluan originally wanted to go together just in case, but since the other party didn't speak, she couldn't take the initiative to speak, otherwise she would offend Zhang Ma or Xie Zian, the young master Xie who would often go crazy.
She ignored Su Qingluan not only to prevent any quality problems, but also for another reason - she wrote down every material cost, and even last night, in order to prevent Mu Xingzhi from spending too much money, she sent someone to Mu Xingzhi's home to ask how much all the labor costs were.
Of course, the fees recorded by Su Qingluan for Mu Xingzhi were all rounded off - but the calculation was based on rounding off the decimals to one place. After all, they were "companions" on the same side, and she couldn't let him suffer any loss.
Aunt Zhang looked at the long "raw materials list" that was basically enough for mopping the floor, and then looked at Su Qingluan's face that was not embarrassed at all, but rather very righteous, and she felt a surge of anxiety in her heart - she had never seen anyone who could be so arrogant.
But this was a ruthless person who would not give in to any persuasion and would go crazy on the spot if provoked - she had heard from her young master about the "renowned name" of this Madam Su, and naturally she had also heard about her "glorious deeds" of going crazy on the spot if provoked.
Madam Zhang couldn't use force on this kind of person who only responded to soft words and not to hard ones.
What's more, Su Qingluan had some "spare" samples opened for Madam Zhang to try. Madam Zhang immediately knew that this series of fruit jams was no less delicious than the previous "Four Seasons" ones, and would definitely set off a wave of popularity in the capital.
Therefore, when Su Qingluan asked the other party to reimburse at least half of the "material costs", Aunt Zhang readily reimbursed all the material costs, and even rounded it up and gave some extra.
Su Qingluan looked at the material fee that she had easily received in her hand, and her first reaction was not "It's great to get the money", but "I am so soft-hearted, I only take what I spent, it's really too little"!
The reason is very simple. The reason why she was able to get the money so easily was obviously because Zhang Ma believed that even if she paid a high deposit and gave her the "material cost", the fruit jam would still be very profitable!
However, Su Qingluan thought again. After all, if the jam business was well managed, it could even be considered a local specialty. In this case, perhaps the local villagers could use it as an industry to seek a good livelihood and live a more affluent life.
What's more, maybe it can boost economic production in this area?
However, this matter was too far away to be considered right now. Su Qingluan now needed to consider how to expand production – after all, judging by what Aunt Zhang said, this wave of sales was stable, and the jam was bound to cause a frenzy of buying.
Even if they needed to use moderate "hunger marketing," it wouldn't be good to overdo it. Therefore, Su Qingluan planned to control the jam so that only "about half of the customers who desperately wanted it" could get it, thus expanding the production scale.
However, we certainly cannot tell the outside world that it is "hunger marketing", but we have to wait until we get feedback from this batch of jam.
"Could you please tell Aunt Zhang the exact sales figures for this batch of jam?" Su Qingluan looked at Aunt Zhang. "This is related to the scale of production and the research and development of the next batch of new products."
Aunt Zhang was also a capable maid who had managed the master's shop before. She had considerable foresight and knew the importance of this information. She nodded carefully and said, "I'll take note of this. Madam Su has done such a good job, I will report this to the master of the house."
As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him, and someone presented him with a box.
"This is a small gift from our Xie family to Miss Su. You have worked hard these days."
Su Qingluan took a look and saw that inside the box, lying quietly among the dark blue silk, was a ginseng that looked very old!
Su Qingluan: ...
She felt very complicated for a moment.
Logically speaking, this was indeed a valuable item. But in her memory, weren't these "tonic" items supposed to be given to middle-aged men with hair loss and erectile dysfunction?
Is she so weak that a middle-aged or elderly woman needs to be given supplements?
For a moment, Su Qingluan even wondered if the old soul beneath her exterior had been revealed...
But this was a valuable gift after all. Although Su Qingluan was complaining in her heart, she still thanked him with a smile on her face.
When I returned to the shop, almost everyone had not left yet.
Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Go to Yunniang to collect your overtime pay for last night, and then you can go home and rest!"
Then he turned to Liu Yunniang and said, "Yunniang, you've been working non-stop with me lately, it must be tiring. You should go home and rest later!"
Everyone shook their heads, saying that this little bit of hard work was nothing, and they hoped that they would be called upon if there was any work next time.
No wonder everyone is so proactive. Whether it's hard or not is secondary - after all, what job isn't hard these days?
But compared to others, although Su Qingluan asked them to do more work, she also gave them a lot!
Putting aside other things, just the big pot of rice with different combinations of meat and vegetables every day is enough to kill a black-hearted family in seconds!
What's more, in order to fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for work - in fact, to pay everyone more reasonably - Su Qingluan, in addition to "paying double wages for overtime at night", also held a variety of "competitions" just like the first day of work. The winner will naturally get more bonuses, and although the last place will have money deducted, it is within the acceptable range.
In fact, Su Qingluan did not intend to set up punishment measures at the beginning, but when she saw that some people were starting to slack off, she had to do so.
But in the end, no one blamed her for this. Instead, they felt that Su Qingluan's various competition mechanisms allowed them to earn a lot more money, and everyone was very satisfied.
After Su Qingluan and others left, she locked the shop door, said hello to her parents who were busy at the stall, and went home.
My sister wasn't home. She must have gone to visit Aunt Guixiang, our neighbor. Su Qingluan changed her clothes and lay down on the bed, thinking she would lie down for a while before going to pick up her sister. But she just lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps it was because she had been living in a state of day and night reversal and was in a state of nervous tension for a period of time. She suddenly relaxed, as if a taut thread in her body suddenly broke, and the accumulated fatigue and tension surged up together. Su Qingluan fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
When Yang finished cooking in the evening and saw that she had not gotten up yet, she asked the two younger ones to go to her sister's room to call for help. Only then did they discover that Su Qingluan's face was already red and she was unconscious with a fever.
