Chapter 226: Hard work is always better than a hard life!
"That's right. Jiangcheng has a rich breakfast scene, and the competition for breakfast is fierce. If you want to make it, you have to get up at least 4:30, and be ready by 6:00. Now the earliest the store closes is 9:30 in the evening, so I'm afraid there won't be enough time to rest."
Jingzi and I think there's no rush. You should first get used to the shop for a while and take a look at other breakfast shops in Jiangcheng for reference. When you have the energy to do so, you can open one if you want to," Su Yuchen added.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. After all, we are not as smart as young people, so it is right to be cautious." Geng Mingyan said, patting Hou Guihua's hand.
"I'm single! As long as you're not in a hurry to make money, I'm not in a hurry either!" Hou Guihua said cheerfully.
"Making money is easy. You've all seen the college students delivering food at night. Their wages are calculated based on commission. We used to make sweet soup, and he sold it. He charged about two yuan per cup, which was a loss for me and Shu Zibao. If you two sisters are willing, we can do it this way..."
Zhao Xiaojing knew that Geng Mingyan did not want the house after the divorce, and half of her savings, which were already meager, were given away. Her child was still in school, so she must be anxious to make money. However, Hou Guihua's husband passed away early and she had no children. Although she had a house in her hometown, her parents-in-law still lived there. Although she was financially better off than Geng Mingyan, her situation was not necessarily better.
Zhao Xiaojing's idea was to assign the fried skewers business directly to the two older sisters, just like making sweet soup. They would provide the ingredients and configure the constant temperature fryer. She would also prepare the seasonings and directly standardize the fried skewers process. The two older sisters would follow the instructions and get commissions.
However, since fried skewers vary in type, it's not practical to make a wide variety every day, as time doesn't allow. Zhao Xiaojing decided to rotate the varieties every few days, so the commission would be calculated based on the actual profit and number of servings of each type.
The two sisters' wages are calculated based on the waiter's base salary of 4,000 yuan + the commission based on the average number of servings actually made that day.
As for how to calculate it, although it sounds complicated, she has Xiaozhi.
According to Xiaozhi's calculations, conservatively speaking, the two older sisters can get more than 7,000 in commission plus base salary.
"Although we haven't started yet, based on the previous sales of fried skewers and the current business situation of the store, I can guarantee that the monthly salary of the two sisters will reach more than 7,000. I will give you a table with the specific calculation when the time comes, but it may be more tiring than working on a construction site."
Su Yuchen looked at Zhao Xiaojing, who was "talking nonsense", with a bewildered look on her face. She didn't know how Zhao Xiaojing calculated the seven thousand, but seeing that she looked so confident, she inexplicably found it believable?
"What's the point of hard work? As long as the money I earn is mine, no one's shameless enough to share half. Hard work is better than a hard life!" Hou Guihua rolled her eyes, indignant again when she thought of Geng Mingyan's incident. "Anyway, I think this is a good idea! We'll learn how to make fried skewers, but once you're gone, we can make them again and the workers can just give us half! It's hard to paint the tiger's skin, and we're not cut out to do it ourselves!"
Geng Mingyan smiled and gave Hou Guihua a helpless look. "Xiao Zhao, we really don't know how to thank you enough. We are indebted to you for your kindness. This 7,000 yuan is hard to come by even if we opened our own shop. I won't say much to thank you. From now on, we will definitely take good care of the store wherever we can."
"Ms. Geng, you're too polite. We still make the lion's share of the profits. This is the normal salary and commission. We'll pay the same to other people if we hire them to do the job.
We're still hesitant to leave this to others, and we still need to teach them. Having you here will save us some trouble." Zhao Xiaojing smiled and waved her hand.
"Then you go to take the third subject tomorrow, and I'll go look at the range hood and the constant temperature fryer you mentioned. If you want to see anything else, I'll go buy it together." Su Yuchen asked.
"I'll make a list for you tonight." Zhao Xiaojing blinked, thinking that she would summon Xiaozhi in the evening to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. With just one click, she could arrange everything, which would be convenient and save trouble.
…
The next day, Su Yuchen looked at the detailed list Zhao Xiaojing had drawn up and questioned his life. "No, how did you come up with something so specific, down to the style, model, and price? You've already arranged everything I had to do all morning in just a short while?"
Zhao Xiaojing smiled and brought up Gu Shanfeng as an excuse. "I saw this constant-temperature fryer at Master Gu's restaurant before. I wanted it then, and later I looked for something suitable for our restaurant. We bought the range hood and lights when we renovated them ourselves, so I made a note of them. You know about the other things too, you just forgot."
"That's true, but your brain is too comprehensive, just like a machine. How did it grow?" Su Yuchen still couldn't believe it.
The list in his hand was detailed and comprehensive, ranging from the style of the dim lights in the restaurant to be replaced, to the brand and price of the deep fryer, the displacement of the range hood and the installation fee of the workers, as well as miscellaneous things like re-sticking the stickers on the countertops, contacting the winery to make a sign for Zhao Ji Rice next door, repositioning the tables and chairs, and purchasing a bunch of small tools, etc. It was written in such detail that Su Yuchen could hardly believe that the human brain could list all the things at once.
"I'm going to take the exam, go do your business!" Zhao Xiaojing smiled, put on her ID, and opened the door and went out with a guilty conscience.
My goodness, is it because her cheating is too obvious, or is Comb too perceptive? He can even see this?
It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that Zhao Xiaojing, who had finally finished the test, got off the test car with a sense of relief.
There was only one subject left, the fourth, and all she had to do was spend two minutes in the virtual space to memorize the questions. Zhao Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. She finally saw hope of retrieving the car that existed in ideology!
When Yun Yongyuan returned to the restaurant, he had already cut most of the prepared dishes. Knowing that Zhao Xiaojing was going to take the third subject test, he came to the store to work at 8:30 early and shared Zhao Xiaojing's work.
The entire restaurant was in perfect order. The tables and chairs next door had been adjusted as she'd ordered, and the range hood had arrived, already being installed by a technician with Geng Mingyan watching. In the hall, Hou Guihua had placed newspapers on the table and was changing a lightbulb. In the kitchen, the other people were busy with their own tasks.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled slightly, her heart filled with warmth.
Since opening the shop, I have always felt a sense of control over my life and a sense of confidence in the future.
"How was it? Did you pass the exam? Why are you standing there like an idiot?" Su Yuchen looked up and asked when he saw Zhao Xiaojing standing blankly at the kitchen door.
"Of course I passed. I'm so happy." Zhao Xiaojing walked into the kitchen with a smile.
"Great! Let's celebrate?" Su Yuchen asked with a smile on his face.
"Let's celebrate! Go grocery shopping this afternoon, and have a snack and hot pot tonight!"
