Chapter 149: Add Takeaway Items
"I have nothing to do now. I will teach you how to make milk tea. In addition to bubble milk tea, we can add some new products, such as pudding and red beans. The base is the same, but the ingredients are different."
Ye Muqi asked the two people to go to the bar, and took out the pudding powder, roasted grass jelly, red beans and sugar that had been placed in the back kitchen, and taught them how to make pudding, roasted grass jelly and candied red beans.
"These ingredients, together with crushed peanuts, dried grapes and coconut flakes, can be used to make roasted grass jelly." Ye Muqi muttered, feeling that there were too many things that could be added to the milk tea business.
Now I use a black tea base, and I can also add green tea, oolong tea, Dahongpao, etc., and then increase it slowly later. It is impossible to finish it all at once.
The two of them watched Ye Muqi doing it and took notes, and the customers who were eating big bowls of rice in the restaurant also came over to watch out of curiosity.
"Boss Ye, are the red bean milk tea and pearl milk tea the same price?" A customer asked Ye Muqi while she was boiling red beans.
"One price, and pudding milk tea is also one price." Ye Muqi replied with a smile.
"Then give me a try of red bean milk tea, a medium cup." The customer couldn't help but ask after smelling the aroma of red beans.
Ye Muqi prepared a cup of red bean milk tea and handed it to him.
Because we make milk tea at noon, some of the big-bowl eaters in the store bought the new product to try, so the milk tea business was boosted a bit.
There were more people in the store, so the cleaning was quick and easy. The four of us returned to the family compound quite early.
"After you two go home, you can try what I taught you today. Practice at home first. It will be easier for you to try cooking by yourselves in a couple of days." As someone who has had experience, Yang Liwen reminded them when they parted.
Ye Muqi mainly gave explanations on the first day, and then let the two of them slowly get started. If they want to learn quickly, regular practice is essential.
The two of them wrote it down, thanked Yang Liwen gratefully, went to buy some vegetables, and then hurried home to try it.
…
In the evening, after taking a shower, Rong Jingchen saw that his young wife was not watching TV, but had put a piece of paper on the table and was writing or drawing something.
"The store has just expanded, are you planning to expand it again?" Rong Jingchen walked over and asked her curiously.
"No, the business in the store is not that good."
Ye Muqi smiled and shook her head. If the business was really that good, she would probably be very busy.
"I was thinking, now that there are two more people in the store, the store is only busier in the morning. After the food is ready at noon, there is actually not much to do, so there is no need for so many people. I was thinking of adding a little more business and including the take-out that I had thought of before." Ye Muqi told Rong Jingchen his thoughts.
Now that we have enough staff, we can add a takeaway order at noon, but we still need to think about how to deliver it.
"If you're delivering food, it shouldn't be a problem to use a bicycle to deliver to nearby places, right?" Ye Muqi asked Rong Jingchen.
She thought about it and decided that having a bicycle would expand her range a little bit, and it would also be much easier for the delivery person than walking.
"No problem, what do you want to do?" Rong Jingchen almost unconditionally supported Ye Muqi's idea.
Ye Muqi told Rong Jingchen about his idea, and after getting his support, he started to do it enthusiastically the next day. In the afternoon, he went to buy a phone, took the phone number and takeaway menu to the printing shop, and printed out a thick stack of them.
On the third day, Ye Muqi asked Chen Yufen and Cao Yuan to go out and distribute takeaway flyers. They did this for three consecutive days and went around the surrounding streets twice. The promotion was finally out.
"Xixi, you have a phone, flyers, and now you've brought back two bicycles and maps. Are you doing some kind of takeaway business?" Cai Dongmei was surprised to see Ye Muxi adding so many things.
"Yes, we will start a take-out service next. Have you all read the flyers we sent out before? Customers who see the flyers can call the store and order any dish on the menu. After leaving their address, we will deliver the ordered meal to their door." Ye Muqi nodded and explained the take-out model to a few people.
Ye Muqi spoke in great detail, and several people understood easily.
"So, doesn't that mean we can eat the food in our store without leaving home? Xixi, what's wrong with your brain? You can even think of this." Yang Liwen was shocked.
Now, no matter whether you go out or not, you can become a customer of the store, and the customer base has expanded at once.
Moreover, they can stay at home and have meals delivered to them, which was something they would never have dared to imagine in the past.
"It's all the wisdom of everyone." Ye Muqi smiled embarrassedly. This had nothing to do with her. It was all the wisdom of later generations. She was just carrying it.
"Sister Fen, Sister Yuan, you have been handing out flyers in the surrounding streets recently and are quite familiar with the surrounding areas. I'm going to let you do the delivery work, is that okay?" Ye Muqi asked Chen Yufen and Cao Yuan.
The two of them had no objections and both agreed. They came here to work, and now they were delivering food, so Ye Muqi even gave them a bicycle.
"You are here to learn cooking from me. Delivering takeout is an additional job, so you will get 20 cents for each takeout order you deliver. The more you deliver, the higher your salary will be. You will be paid in cash every day."
Seeing that the two people agreed readily, Ye Muqi naturally became very generous.
The two were pleasantly surprised. They could earn 20 cents for each delivery. If they could deliver ten orders, they could earn 2 yuan. That way they could earn 60 yuan a month, which was much better than what the men in the family earned.
The two of them originally just wanted to learn cooking and had never thought that they could make money with Ye Muqi.
But now that they heard they could make money, they were more motivated about the takeout business and wanted to start right away.
Yang Liwen and Cai Dongmei were standing by and were no longer surprised by this. Ye Muqi had always been generous. As long as you were a person who did your job well, Ye Muqi would never treat those around him unfairly.
"It's been three days since we distributed the flyers. We should start to receive takeout calls tomorrow. These two maps are for you. Get familiar with them." Ye Muqi handed the two maps he had bought to them.
"We have been in Beijing for several years. Although we have not been to the city very often, we are still familiar with the surroundings." Cao Yuan took the map and said to Ye Muqi with a smile.
Ye Muqi was even happier when he heard this, and felt more reassured about this matter.
In the evening, the four of them returned to the family compound. As soon as Ye Muqi got out of the car and closed the door, she felt as if many eyes were looking at her in the compound.
"Xixi, you are very famous in the family compound now." Yang Liwen noticed her puzzled look and wanted to tease her.
