The territory market is very lively. Now, apart from the night market on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, the market is open from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., making it more like an early morning market.
It was snowing lightly on a winter morning, and the roads had been cleared by shovels. It was just getting light at 7 o'clock, and the four hours of the morning were extremely busy.
The stalls are currently all collective stalls, meaning they're all set up with money and supplies from the local authorities. However, seeing how bustling it is, within three days, people started inquiring about private stalls. Qin Yiyi had the prepared notices posted at the market entrances and exits. The notices encouraged private operation, offering loans to those without funds at extremely low interest rates. For those who had the money to start their own business, the first month's stall fee was free, and the fee was 50% off from the second to the sixth month. The notices also supported artisans and some merchants with established connections to start their own businesses.
Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire for those who were already eager to start a business?
This means that you can start a business with very little stall fee, but then another problem arises: where do you find suppliers? Besides, it's really not easy to go out in the dead of winter.
So the three merchants Qin Yiyi had previously contacted came out, carrying special approval documents from the territory and with the territory's security protection, they went to handle the supply channels, and anyone doing this kind of business could get their goods from them!
In addition, the territory plans to develop gourmet cooking and make it a local specialty. Therefore, a free cooking skills training program was specially opened, with people trained by the lord training them. In this way, the bleak winter has ushered in a new wave of vitality.
While supporting the territory's own businesses, Qin Yiyi also encouraged individual entrepreneurs. She only gave two classes a week, one hour each time, with the aim of selecting outstanding talents to train other people in the territory. She would then provide individual guidance to these talents in private.
She doesn't have time to train a group of people who have no experience at all, unless they are exceptionally intelligent and talented.
Soon, the first group of people with cooking experience in the territory stood up. To be honest, everyone in the wasteland can cook, but only to the point of making food edible. Few people study how to make it taste better because they have neither the time nor the ingredients. Those with better cooking experience are either housewives who have cooked for many years or people who have had relevant experience in other territories or cities. Although these people are not very talented and do not meet the standards for Qin Yiyi's direct training, they can graduate in a month with the territory's free cooking skills training and go out to set up stalls.
In Qin Yiyi's small class, there were about ten people with good cooking skills. She was writing recipes on the board. These recipes were provided by the game system. She only needed to select a few simple and easy ones to teach first.
“Cooking food is not just about enjoying different foods, but also about reducing pollution. Currently, most of the compensation we receive in our territory is low-pollution rice, flour, and other food products. However, I can't keep giving out rice, flour, and other food products forever. As the population of our territory grows and the economy becomes more active, I will inevitably have to switch to issuing silver coins, or even gold coins.”
The costs of filtering rice and flour, including the labor costs of using machines, are considerable. As the number of people in the territory increases, if things continue like this, she will inevitably be in a state of loss. Furthermore, the storage of rice and flour is also a problem. This is why barter has evolved into monetary transactions.
The wasteland exists because food can reduce genetic pollution, so food can also be considered another form of currency as payment for labor. However, this system is not sustainable, especially now that the territory's population is about to exceed 20,000.
She decided to gradually change the compensation method, converting everyone's compensation into currency so that they could buy their own rice, flour, and food, which would increase economic activity. This would also free up her own labor costs for other tasks.
"The lord is right. If everyone is given food, then our territory will not be able to develop cooking skills and encourage people to sell snacks and do some food-related businesses. No one will pay for the recipes for these dishes that the lord gave us!"
Since their reward is food, they would only buy food when they have run out of food at home.
By cutting off the source of income by not using rice and flour as payment, and letting these people buy their own things at the supermarket, it's clear that few people will just buy one item and leave. They'll have other items piled up, and with some discounts, they'll see that these are daily necessities that are both useful and discounted. Wouldn't that boost the sales of other products?
"Fried chicken, pork tenderloin, chicken strips—these are the simplest. Grilled skewers, cold skewers, and hot skewers are also not difficult to make. And to complement these, you must have a milk tea and beverage shop next to the shop. First, master the recipes for these snacks, and then I'll give you a few milk tea recipes!"
This will revitalize other shops.
There are rules to opening a store, and there are also rules to the items displayed on supermarket shelves.
The placement of items can also affect people's purchasing desires and sales volume.
The idea that "good wine needs no bush" is less prevalent these days. With so many choices available, it's definitely more convenient to have what you can easily get than what you have to travel a long way to obtain.
After class, she clicked on the electronic screen to look at the territory's data. Building this territory was like a simulation game. She had to pay attention to the orcs' food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and also be wary of changes in the weather and the empire's political situation. In addition, she had to guard against the appearance of mentally abnormal orcs in the territory, who would bite randomly like zombies if they appeared.
She's really worried sick.
As for the individual businesses that are about to open, especially those that do cooking, her standard is that the food they make must be low-pollution food to be sold; high-pollution food and anything that does not meet the standards are strictly prohibited from being sold.
In addition, one or two staple food shops should be opened. These shops must offer zero-pollution food, which can be zero-pollution food without any attributes. This will further protect the genetic pollution level and mental state of the people in the territory.
The electronic screen is great. It can estimate the number of people needed for each job. Green means there are enough people, orange means there are not enough people, and red means there is an urgent need for people. It can also show the full staff situation and allocate excess people to other jobs.
Tsk tsk, if she weren't in a real world, she would have suspected that she had traveled from one game world to another.
beep beep~
Nearly two months later, she finally received an email from another city while she was at her base.
