He Wenlin said, "It's almost possible to make it. I can promote it for two mornings in the early stages, and I can also provide twenty trays of samples every morning. But Mr. Luo, my personal suggestion is that we start the promotion after 100 jin of goods are delivered. Otherwise, it will be like today, where the promotion was done, but it was only enough to sell for one morning. Today, I delivered more than 60 jin of goods to Mr. Guo."
"You mean he sold over sixty jin this morning in just a short time?" Luo Zhonghui was shocked.
He knew business was good, but he never expected to sell more than 60 kilograms at once.
"What's your wholesale price?" Luo Zhonghui asked.
He Wenlin, afraid that others would interrupt, hurriedly said, "Over fifty pounds, two yuan and eighty cents; under fifty pounds, three yuan."
Luo Zhonghui did the math in his head. The selling price was 3.5 yuan per jin, which meant that Guo Dali made more than 200 yuan in just over an hour today, with a gross profit of more than 40 yuan, which would amount to more than 1,000 yuan a month.
They didn't stock up much today. If they had stocked up more and sold both in the morning and afternoon, they should have been able to make a profit of seventy or eighty yuan a day.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhonghui gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare two hundred catties for me. Deliver all the goods to me on the morning of the 12th. We'll do a tasting promotion on the 12th. The Wenshan Village vegetable market has just as many customers as this place. Let's stock up and have a big sale!"
Upon hearing that he had ordered more goods, the others became even more excited!
Two hundred jin!
They all looked at He Wenlin excitedly, waiting for her to make a decision.
“No problem!” He Wenlin agreed immediately. “But you need to pay half of the deposit first, and the other half can be settled upon delivery. Also, the weather is hot now, and Wenshan Village is a bit far from here. Once the dumplings are thawed, they tend to stick together, which will affect their appearance. So I will deliver them to you in several batches. Once they arrive, they will be put into the freezer immediately. You must arrange for a separate freezer to be opened.”
"Don't worry about that, I'll definitely prepare the freezer. You guys hurry up and stock up on the goods. This price... I need a lot, can you give me a discount?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, this is the lowest price we can offer. We use only the best ingredients, and we eat them ourselves, so our costs are relatively high. In addition, we also need to send people and provide samples for promotion, and we also need to deliver to your door. So I'm sorry, we can't lower the price any further."
Luo Zhonghui hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's leave it at that for now."
Subsequently, Luo Zhonghui paid a deposit of three hundred yuan, and He Wenlin wrote an agreement and receipt with him. Both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints, and the cooperation was considered to be completed.
As soon as Luo Zhonghui left, He Shan couldn't hold back and excitedly hugged He Wenlin: "Linlin, that was too rushed! Two hundred pounds! That's great!"
The others also showed joy on their faces.
Two hundred catties translates to a turnover of over five hundred yuan.
“There are so many, we definitely can’t do them all by ourselves,” He Wenlin said. “Lingfeng, go back and ask your grandma if she’d like to come and work as a temporary worker. She can learn if she doesn’t know how. It’s two yuan and fifty cents an hour.”
"I'll go back and call my grandma right now!"
After Ruan Lingfeng finished speaking, he immediately ran back to find his grandmother.
The Ruan siblings will be starting school soon, and the shop will be missing two more capable assistants.
These brother and sister may be young, but they are really good at working.
He Wenlin will have to recruit and train new people, and they may not be as clever and diligent as the others.
He Wenlin really didn't want them to leave, but her studies came first, so staying was out of the question.
Grandma He also thought of this problem and said to He Wenlin, "Linlin, Lingfeng and Xiaomin will be starting school soon, and they might be too busy to manage. How about we call your brother Hua over?"
The "Hua Ge" that Grandma mentioned is He Wenlin's eldest cousin, He Wenjun's biological brother, He Wenhua.
He Wenhua works in Dongguan with Sister Mei.
Grandma He felt that He Wenlin's skills were no less than her granddaughter's, who was a manager. The most important thing was that she learned a craft from He Wenlin.
In the eyes of the older generation, having more skills is never a bad thing; having a skill means you'll never starve.
"Then call your eldest brother and ask him to come over. He can stay with your second brother and the others. This room is spacious and messy enough. I can even buy him a single bed. After he comes, he can learn to cook from me. His salary and benefits will be the same as your second brother's now."
Upon hearing this, Grandma He immediately went to make a phone call.
At this moment, Ruan Lingfeng also arrived with her grandmother.
“Grandma Ruan, Ling Feng must have told you everything, right?” He Wenlin said.
"I told you, I told you, young boss, thank you, thank you for taking such good care of our family." Old Mrs. Ruan's eyes were red.
"Why thank me? I'll pay, you'll do the work, it's just a win-win situation. My goods are in a rush, so you'll have to work hard these next few days. It's 2.5 yuan an hour, paid daily. Do you have time this afternoon?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Grandma Ruan nodded vigorously. "I'll make it right now."
"Then you should follow Ling Feng and let him teach you. Today, Ling Feng and Xiao Min, you won't be taking a lunch break; it'll be considered an hour of overtime. Can you handle it?"
Ruan Lingfeng: "Sure."
Ruan Min: "Sister Linlin, I'm fine with it too."
"Alright, Lingfeng, you teach your grandma how to make dumplings. Xiaomin and little brother, you two are in charge of washing the vegetables."
Since the two younger children don't know how to make dumplings or xiaolongbao, having them wash the vegetables earlier will give He Wenlin and the others more time to make dumplings and xiaolongbao.
At noon, everyone worked overtime to continue production without taking a lunch break.
Not long after, Guo Dali arrived as well.
"Boss He, how many do you have in your shop right now? I'll take some back and freeze them." Guo Dali arrived on his tricycle.
"There are six plates now, four plates of dumplings and two plates of steamed buns," Mr. He said hurriedly, as he took them out.
"Weigh it quickly so I can take it back and sell it this afternoon."
Mr. He quickly weighed the baby; it weighed a total of 26.5 jin (approximately 18
Guo Dali paid the money without saying a word.
As soon as she got the money, Old Mrs. He stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me."
Mr. He was speechless: "Mom, you're making me sound like a corrupt official."
“I have to keep track of every amount that comes in and goes every day. Linlin said I’m the financial director.”
Grandma He knew very well why her granddaughter had let her manage the money—wasn't it just so she could come to town to help her son and daughter-in-law?
She couldn't let Linlin down!
"Grandma, what did my eldest brother say? Did he say when he's coming?" He Wenlin asked.
"Your older brother has a girlfriend, and he said he needs to discuss it with her."
"You have a girlfriend? That's great news, Grandma. Why do you look unhappy?"
Logically, a grandmother should be very happy that her grandson has a girlfriend.
“My girlfriend is from Guangxi province. We’re choosing. When looking for a partner, it’s definitely better to choose someone nearby who you know well. This place is too far away. You two shouldn’t date someone from a far-off place in the future.”
“We’re still young, and finding a partner is a long way off. Right now, making money is the most important thing.” After saying that, He Wenlin said to He Shan, He Wenjun, and Lin Fei, “You should do the same. Make money first. Once you have money, a house, and a car, you’ll have more options when you’re looking for a partner.”
At any time, there is always the concept of "marrying someone of equal social standing".
