Chapter 359: First-day turnover of 165 yuan
Su Tingqian looked at the customer flow and estimated that their inventory should not be enough. After Lu Changzheng and Su Yiyuan came back with the things, he asked Su Yiyuan to drive with him to find someone.
When Su Tingqian was looking for a master some time ago, he found out about a few women who were good at making dumplings and steamed bread but had no jobs.
Su Tingqian found two nearby and told them the conditions and treatment. Work by the day, two yuan a day, and the salary is settled on a daily basis. When you get off work the day before, you will be notified whether you want to come the next day.
When the two women heard this, they were not unhappy and came immediately. The average wage of an ordinary person is only thirty or forty yuan, and they can earn two yuan a day. Although it is not stable, it is better than making matchboxes.
When they arrived at the studio, Su Yiyuan began to direct the two people to work. Some kneaded the dough, some chopped the stuffing, and he himself began to mix the stuffing and sugar. Su Yiyuan is also a good cook, and he and Su Mo are the ones who mix the stuffing and proportions.
Originally, it would be okay to let the two aunties who help do it, but now everyone is not familiar with each other, and I don’t know what their character is like, so I can only do it myself first.
After observing them and confirming that they are trustworthy, I can slowly let them go.
In the studio, Su Yiyuan stayed to supervise, and Su Tingqian drove to the library to pick up Zhang Zhen. There is really no other way. With today's customer flow, Yurong will probably be very busy tomorrow, not to mention that someone has to look after the studio.
After Su Tingqian received the approval, he went to talk to Zhang Zhen, hoping that he could come over to help him. After Xiao Ding was admitted to the university, Zhang Zhen felt lonely in the library. As he was getting older,
he always wanted to get closer to the younger generation, so he agreed. Zhang Zhen was old, and the library agreed to his retirement. However, the country only brought up the retirement of workers and cadres this year, and the new regulations have not yet been announced. The provisional regulations of 1957 were changed again in 1966, and now the higher-ups say that they do not recognize the 1966 regulations.
The library did not know how to arrange it for a while, so it was delayed, but the work has actually been handed over.
After Su Tingqian went there, he and Zhang Zhen went to talk to the director, saying that they were busy at home and needed the elderly to go over to help look after the children, so they were asked to release him in advance and come back to handle the procedures after clarifying how to handle the procedures.
Zhang Zhen didn't have much to do here, and the director was happy to give them a good deal, so he agreed.
The two packed up Zhang Zhen's clothes, bedding and daily necessities, and moved them over first, and the rest would be moved after completing the procedures.
The shop was open until after 10 o'clock in the evening, and after selling all the things they took over, they closed the door.
After returning home, the family calculated today's turnover.
For the convenience of statistics, except for their own food, the things they took over to sell today were all counted in integers.
Today, we took 200 white flour steamed buns, 100 brown sugar steamed buns, 100 vegetable and meat buns, 300 in total, 100 pure meat buns, 100 tea eggs, 50 meat pancakes, 100 pieces of soy sauce pancakes, 800 pieces in total, and two barrels of soy milk, each barrel can hold more than 300 bowls.
All of these were sold out, and today's total turnover was 165 yuan.
On the first day of opening, everyone was very happy with such a high turnover. If the income was this high every day, it would be really amazing at the end of the month.
After calculating the turnover, Su Yiyuan began to calculate the gross profit.
The ingredients used in these pastries are all 100%, and about one pound of white flour can make ten steamed buns or fifteen dumplings.
For 200 sweet steamed buns, 20 pounds of white flour, two pounds of white sugar and one pound of milk powder are used, with a cost of 7.63 yuan and a gross profit of 8.47 yuan. For 100 brown sugar
steamed buns, 10 pounds of white flour and two pounds of brown sugar are used, with a cost of 2.88 yuan and a gross profit of 7.12 yuan.
The amount of meat used is one pound of meat to make 20 pure meat buns and 40 vegetable and meat buns.
A total of 400 buns are made, using 28 pounds of white flour, 13 pounds of pork, 4 pounds of celery, carrots, cabbage and green vegetables, and half a pound of mushrooms. Green vegetables are all sold at 5 cents per pound. Mushrooms are sent by the Lu family, so they are free. The total cost of buns is 16 yuan, and the gross profit is 29 yuan.
The price of eggs has increased this year, and it is 82 cents per pound. There are about 8 eggs in a pound. 100 eggs, 13 pounds, cost 10.66 yuan, and the gross profit is 4.34 yuan.
50 meat pancakes, using 4 pounds of white flour, 1 pound of pork, and 4 pounds of leeks, cost 1.96 yuan, and the gross profit is 5.54 yuan.
For sauce pancakes, 1 pound of flour can make 10 sheets, 100 sheets, using 10 pounds of flour, the cost of making sauce is about 2 yuan, the total cost is 3.7 yuan, and the gross profit is 36.3 yuan.
The gross profit is extremely high, but making soy sauce biscuits is labor-intensive and gas-intensive. Lu Changzheng, a special forces soldier, made 100 biscuits a day and felt his wrists were a little sore. It is estimated that one-third of the gas was used up in a day.
Soy milk also uses a lot of ingredients. A barrel of soy milk is about 100 liters, with about 14 pounds of soybeans and 3 pounds of sugar. The cost of 2 barrels of soy milk is 8.3 yuan, and the gross profit is 21.7 yuan.
After calculation, the total gross profit is 112 yuan. After deducting other hidden costs, the net profit of 80 or 90 yuan a day is definitely stable.
After Su Yiyuan took the abacus and crackled a few calculations, he rubbed his paws excitedly.
After all, you still have to do business, so that you can make a fortune.
However, the high turnover today is because there are so many people. Tomorrow, only my aunt will be in charge of the store, and I guess we won’t be able to do so much, at least we won’t be able to do much of the soy sauce pancakes
with the highest gross profit margin. After the Spring Fair is over, the flow of people will drop. I guess on normal days, the gross profit is only 50 or 60 yuan a day. But this
is not bad. In the factory, you have to be a small boss to get a salary of 50 or 60 yuan a month. They make 50 or 60 yuan a day, what’s there to be dissatisfied about? What’s more, this is just one store. When we open a few more stores and spread the cost, the profit will be even higher.
There won't be enough people tomorrow, so we don't think we can sell many soy-flavored cookies. After discussing, the family decided to cook one more bucket of soy milk. After all, two buckets of soy milk were sold out by mid-afternoon, so if we cook one more bucket, we should be able to sell it. Then we'll prepare more vegetable and meat buns and tea leaf eggs to share the soy-flavored cookies.
After the discussion, everyone washed up and went to bed. The two little ones were left to Commander Xu today, and Su Mo and her husband didn't have to go back to the family compound, so they slept here too. Before
going to bed, Mo Yurong put the tea leaf eggs that would be used tomorrow in the kitchen and simmered them over low heat. That's how tea leaf eggs are made, they must be boiled for a long time to make them tasty. The tea used to cook tea eggs was old tea that Su Tingqian and his wife collected from the surrounding rural areas. It didn't taste good, but it was very cheap, only a few cents per pound.
The next day, before five o'clock, the family got up again. Su Mo prepared the sauce for the savory biscuits and the stuffing, while the three men ground and cooked the soy milk. Mo Yurong steamed the buns first, and when they got there, they could sell them after heating them up, which was fast.
At around seven o'clock, Lu Changzheng drove Su Mo to school, and then returned to the army.
Su Tingqian didn't have to go to class in the morning, so he rode a tricycle with Mo Yurong to transport things to the canteen, and helped there in the morning.
Zhang Zhen was in the studio, allocating various quantities according to the ratio table written by Su Yiyuan, and acting as a supervisor. Mainly to observe whether the two people were clean and not. These two helpers were quite experienced at their work. Together, they could easily make seven or eight hundred buns a day.
Su Yiyuan was a little excited about his first time running his own business, and he was distracted from time to time to think about future plans during class. Although he had been a factory director before, there was a difference between being a public company and being his own. I thought my aunt would be too busy to help out in the afternoon, so I skipped class and went to help.
