Time flies, and it's already the 19th.
He Hui has completed his studies and left. He said he rented a house near Shi'an Road and moved there today.
Tomorrow is also the opening day of He Wenlin's Zao Haha breakfast shop.
The breakfast shop hired two part-time workers and one full-time employee. The full-time employee's name is Tang Xiaolian. She has been learning to make glutinous rice balls at He Wenlin's fast food restaurant for two mornings and is now proficient in the process.
She will be primarily responsible for the glutinous rice balls at the breakfast shop going forward.
The business license and all the necessary raw materials for the store are in place, and now we're just waiting to open tomorrow.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating the opening of the breakfast shop.
He Wenlin hadn't discussed salary with He Shan at all. Now, while everyone was on their lunch break, He Wenlin brought up the salary and benefits: "From now on, you'll have two days off every month, a base salary of 800, and a 13th-month bonus at the end of the year. But you'll get a 1% commission on the store's sales. The more you sell, the more you earn. You can sell not only cooked food but also raw food. The price of raw food will be the same as what's sold in the market, not the same as our wholesale price. But if customers buy a lot, we can give them the wholesale price."
If our business is stable during the three-month internship period, and your internship is over, we will increase your base salary by 50. Your working hours will be earlier during this period; you need to be at the store at 4 PM. After Tang Xiaolian becomes more experienced, she will work the 4 PM shift alone, and you will work the 5:30 PM shift until 11 AM when we close the store to clear out the inventory and then go there for lunch.
If your breakfast shop is doing well, and you make steamed dumplings, xiaolongbao, and wontons, you can make them here. Otherwise, we can deliver to you every day, but it's inconvenient without refrigerated trucks.
As the store manager, you must learn to make xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), you must know how to make hot and sour shredded potatoes, and you must know how to cook wontons. If you don't like this, I'll switch you with my second brother. My second brother really wants to do this.
"No, no, no, Linlin, I'm willing, really. I can make xiaolongbao, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and wontons without any problem, trust me."
As the store manager, He Shan understood that she needed to be proficient in everything.
This title sounds good and is prestigious, so of course she didn't want anyone else to do it.
"If business here is so-so, after you close up here, go over to the food factory over there and keep an eye on things for me. Make sure the output and quality are up to standard. After dinner this afternoon, you can go home."
“Okay, no problem,” He Shan readily agreed.
Do you have any objections to this salary and benefits?
"No."
Actually, this salary is already quite good. It's more than what He Ma earned as a team leader in the factory, and the monthly working hours are less than He Ma's.
Tomorrow, He Wenlin's food factory will also officially start production. Including Ruan Jianxin, there are a total of three temporary workers. Each person is responsible for three machines, and the salary is two yuan and fifty cents per hour.
My second brother has an extra task: he has to make egg roll batter for them every day.
The egg beater has been moved over, so from now on, we'll have to beat the dough for xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) here first, and then move it over there.
He Wenlin assigned them the production task of making thirty boxes of egg rolls tomorrow, and the packaging work would be handed over to Ruan Lingfeng and his sister and younger brother.
The two new employees they hired are doing a good job, so the three of them don't need to wash vegetables. They can pack and box vegetables after the morning rush hour.
Each box is packaged according to the standard weight of two jin (approximately 1 kg).
...
The next day, at 3:45 a.m., everyone got up except for Aunt He and the younger brother.
Grandma He and Dad He stayed at the fast food restaurant, while He Wenlin took He Shan and He Wenjun to the breakfast shop.
"Linlin, how about I go to the breakfast shop with you and let Xiaojun stay here?" Grandma He was worried about sending He Wenlin and the other children to the breakfast shop.
It's not that I don't believe in He Wenlin's abilities, but I'm worried that since there are no adults in the store, they might be bullied.
He Wenlin reassured her, "Grandma, don't worry, we can do it!"
“That’s right, Grandma, I’m not a child anymore, please don’t think about kicking me out,” He Wenjun said. “No one will bully us, don’t worry.”
"Alright then, once we're done here, your dad and I will go over and help."
"OK."
When we arrived, it was exactly 4:30. Tang Xiaolian had already opened the shop. The large coal stove for steaming dumplings and xiaolongbao had been moved outside, the lid next to it was open, and the fire was burning brightly.
He Wenlin quickly started making soup to cook wontons later.
He Shan and Tang Xiaolian started steaming xiaolongbao and dumplings, while the second brother steamed glutinous rice and then began peeling potatoes, as they would be stir-frying potato shreds later.
At 6:15, everything was ready, and the store welcomed its first customer.
"Give me a serving of steamed dumplings."
He Shan quickly packed one for him, her attitude extremely polite: "Handsome, one dollar and fifty cents a serving, thank you for your patronage."
"Linlin, shouldn't we set off some firecrackers or something?" Second brother He Wenjun felt that opening a shop was such a glorious thing for the family, so we should celebrate with firecrackers. "I'll go buy some."
"What are you buying? Come back. Setting off firecrackers so early might get us reported for disturbing the peace. Turn on the music at seven o'clock; it's still early."
After saying that, He Wenlin said to them, "If we can reach our sales target of 250 yuan today, I will give you all red envelopes to celebrate! From now on, as long as we reach our target, I will give you 5% of the total sales as a reward! So everyone, keep it up!"
"Go! Go!" The second brother raised his fist.
He Wenlin calculated her daily expenses and concluded that she needed to sell at least 150 yuan a day to break even.
At the store's price of 1.5 yuan per item, 100 items need to be sold per day to break even.
