Aunt Guihua held her hand and grinned, "Eat, eat. I know you don't need these, but this is a little gift from me, so just take it.
I learned some business tips from your mother today, and I hope that we will have a prosperous future. Your mother is the most capable among the old ladies in this alley."
Jiang Yan took her in. Miao Xiuying was stewing the pork. When she saw her coming, she greeted her, "Guihua, you're here? Sit anywhere. My hands are all greasy."
She told Lu Li to pour some water for Aunt Guihua, but Aunt Guihua shook her head and said, "Miao, don't bother me. I just finished eating and drinking, so I came to your house to sit for a while. I got my stewed food, thanks to you. If I don't have anything else, I'll just give you a bag of candy to sweeten your mouths."
Miao Xiuying was a carefree person, she said straightforwardly: "Going door to door, it's just a piece of cake. I said I would go pick Litsea cubeba, but I was so busy that I forgot about it. Let's make an appointment another day."
Aunt Guihua asked her, "Do you like it? Litsea cubeba tastes weird, and many people are not used to it. I pick them, dry them, and then grind them into powder. I use it to make dipping sauce, which has a unique flavor. I can also sprinkle it on fermented tofu and use it as porridge."
These are the ways that ordinary people at the bottom of society eat. When they have time, they go into the mountains where there are many treasures.
You don't have to go to the vegetable market to buy everything. You're not a full-time worker in the family, so how can you have so much spare money? A penny saved can be used to support your child's education.
After all, there are no other ways to make money, so just save as much as you can.
Miao Xiuying washed her hands and said to her, "Pick more and keep them for me to make pickles. When the marinade is stable, I will start making other things. I have to make money by doing everything I can."
Aunt Guihua was amazed when she heard what she said. "Are you planning to start another business? Pickles? How come you have such a good brain?
There are rules for everything. I can’t even run a braised food business. I make a living from it.”
Miao Xiuying smiled with wrinkles all over her face, "Our yard is small, I want to live in a courtyard house, earn more money, and move my whole family in, and we can live comfortably. You should start making the braised food first.
From now on, I will help you do other things, and I guarantee you will make a lot of money, no kidding."
To make pickles, you have to wholesale them. Aunt Guihua can be a wholesaler and then resell them to other people.
Even though the profit from pickles is small, if you accumulate a little bit, it will be a very considerable amount. Moreover, they are easy to store and can be shipped all over the country. Wouldn't Lao Miao become famous then?
She has made up her mind now. She will call it Miao Family Pickles. People will know that it is made by her at first glance. With such a good reputation, is she still afraid that no one will eat it?
These were all ideas that Jiang Yan came up with. To her, they were very useful. She had the God of Wealth in her house, so she had nothing to be afraid of and could just do it with confidence.
Aunt Guihua was so surprised when she heard this, "You're taking me to do other things? Lao Miao, you're so kind to me, aren't you? I don't know how to thank you."
My sisters are not as generous as Miao Xiuying. Who would want to keep the way to make money? For fear that others would learn it.
Most people think that Miao Xiuying is too broad-minded, as she teaches her apprentice and starves herself to death.
Miao Xiuying said nonchalantly, "Giving it to others is making money, and giving it to you is also making money. To make money, you must stick to your own people. You and I are the ones who follow us."
Aunt Guihua is a kind-hearted person. Even if she grinds a bowl of tofu, she will send half a bowl over.
Miao Xiuying observed her for a long time and found that she had good character and was a good interpersonal relationship person, otherwise she would not have taken her with her.
I hate people who are as cunning as a sieve. It's so troublesome to deal with them. If you are not careful, you will be cheated by them.
Now is the start-up phase of the business, and she doesn't want to hire any troublemakers.
The eldest son's wife couldn't help but sigh in her heart that her mother had finally found the right person. In the past, she used to be annoyed by her and those nagging women who gossiped about other people's affairs.
I didn't expect to dig up such a gold mine. If I could do business well and earn dozens of dollars a day, I would wake up smiling in my dreams.
Aunt Guihua is the biggest contributor to the family. It is not excessive to worship her. Who would blame her?
Aunt Guihua said in a silly way, "This is all I have. My brain is not as good as yours. If I do something wrong in the future, just tell me. I will try my best and will not hold you back."
Miao Xiuying patted her on the shoulder and said, "Let's get rich together."
Aunt Guihua's heart was moved by what she said, and she seemed to have seen herself becoming a wealthy old lady.
Driving a car and living in a big house, she couldn't stop smiling.
We chatted for a while, and since it was getting late, we didn't bother him any more and went back.
Seeing Miao Xiuying calm and confident, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Mom, you are becoming more and more like a leader. Develop more offline branches, and you can just sit at home and give orders. You don't have to run around everywhere. It's great just thinking about it."
Miao Xiuying's eyes were almost narrowed into slits due to her smile, "As long as I can make money, I'll be happy. My mother is afraid of being poor, but as long as I have money in my hands, I won't be worried.
I'll make the pickles, you help me control the temperature, and when I open up the market, we'll split the profits 50-50."
Hearing that she wanted to give 50%, Jiang Yan refused, "Mom, it is said that brothers should settle accounts clearly, one thing at a time, 50% is too much, let's do 70% and 30%, you 70% and I 30%.
I just provided the idea, and I feel bad taking 50% from you. When the pickles are on the right track, we can open a restaurant together and split the profits 50-50 then."
Miao Xiuying's eyes were burning, "No, it's 50-50. Listen to mom on this matter. Not everyone can come up with such an idea.
If you ask me, you take the lion's share, and I just have to make two more trips, and my labor is the least valuable."
Seeing that his mother's business was booming, Lu Li couldn't wait any longer. Fortunately, the opening day was approaching and he could open the business soon.
He would feel sad if he lost a penny, so this time, he opened six stores in different regions.
But they were all groceries, and he took away all the goods in Jiang Yan’s warehouse that he could use, and even hired two clerks in each store.
According to Jiang Yan's advice, there is one store manager and one employee. The store manager is responsible for the operation of the store, such as warehousing and bookkeeping, and his salary is higher than that of ordinary employees.
Miao Xiuying also thought of this. She discussed with Jiang Yan: "Xiao Yan, the shop I bought is almost decorated. I want to move the braised food there and find two reliable people. I'd like to trouble you to write a job posting for me."
This was a method Jiang Yan came up with, and it worked quite well. Lu Li interviewed several people before he found a store manager and employees that satisfied him.
I screened out a lot of people because I was afraid that some of them would be mean and jealous of you making money and would play tricks on your accounts.
Jiang Yan had told them all in advance, and they all kept them in mind. No one dared to be careless when it came to making money.
Jiang Yan said softly, "Mom, I'll write it later. You clean up the shop first, and then start recruiting. Education is preferred, but character is important. If a person has a bad character, no matter how educated he is, we won't hire him."
