(The previous chapter has been slightly modified)
In the past, given Mr. He's temper, he wouldn't have tolerated it; he would have scolded him to death!
But now, Mr. He is much more restrained when dealing with his benefactors.
He explained politely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang arrived early, even earlier than your reservation."
You initially ordered fifty boxes, and thirty boxes were taken away yesterday. The current twenty boxes are the amount you initially ordered.
Mr. Zhang placed an order for thirty yesterday morning, and then another twenty last night. He came early and placed the order early, so I certainly couldn't refuse him.
He Ma also explained from the side, "We have added manpower and machines, so we will definitely ensure that there will be no shortage of goods in the future."
Peng Liang also felt that Zhang Qiang's attitude was bad. It's business, not a fight. Couldn't he have been a little softer?
"Alright, twenty it is. The rest of the goods can come in the afternoon."
Since Peng Liang had said so, Zhang Qiang had no choice but to comply. What could he do if there was no stock?
Zhang Hong and Zhang Qiang each took twenty boxes. It's still early, so they can sell them during the morning rush hour.
Peng Liang pulled out a wad of bills and handed them to Uncle He: "Uncle, this is the balance payment for the first batch of goods and the deposit for the 100 boxes of goods ordered last night. It's a total of 500. Please count it. My friend was rude just now, but please don't mind. That's just how he talks."
Since Peng Liang has already apologized, He's father naturally won't say anything more.
Mr. He took the money, counted it, checked its authenticity, and after confirming that there was no problem, gave the money to Mrs. He.
In the past, he and his mother were worried about He Wenlin carrying too much money, so they would always keep the money they received for themselves. But they don't do that anymore.
Firstly, He Wenlin lets her results speak for themselves and proves herself through her achievements.
Secondly, Mr. and Mrs. He know that their daughter is truly professional and will handle matters strictly according to the law.
It felt really bad to see a group of children being given important responsibilities while he, the head of the family, was completely ignored and disregarded.
Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. He are now cooperating actively and will not take a single penny of money.
As soon as the morning rush hour was over, Ruan Lingfeng and his sister, along with He Wenjun, quickly went to pack up egg rolls.
Peng Liang went to Zao Haha Breakfast Shop and met up with He Wenlin there.
He Wenlin took him to the newly rented house to familiarize him with the place.
"From now on, we'll be making rice bowls here. You have two tasks: first, to follow up on Boss Luo's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day promotional activities. Now that our business is expanding, time is very tight, so we have to prepare goods in advance. I need to know if he has bought the freezer, whether he has arranged the venue, and whether he has prepared the manpower for the two days of Mid-Autumn Festival."
Also, you need to contact the factories nearby to get more fast food orders. From now on, orders for wontons, steamed dumplings, xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and rice balls can be handled at the breakfast shop, while orders for rice bowls can be handled here. We'll get everything ready today, and we can open tomorrow. Once things are running smoothly, we'll also start selling vouchers here.
Although selling vouchers reduces profits, it allows for quick capital accumulation, and customers who buy vouchers are less likely to spend their money elsewhere.
He Wenlin needs to use vouchers to buy a car.
Around nine o'clock, both Mr. Zeng and Mr. Meng delivered the packaging materials and the insulated truck.
Everything was temporarily left inside; He Wenlin didn't have time to tidy up right now.
She bought water pipes, two long tables, four plastic stools, and four large plastic crates.
Packed bags, boxes, chopsticks, and other items must be placed in plastic baskets. Cardboard boxes are dirty and easily breed cockroaches.
She had already bought the items, but she couldn't pack them up until the afternoon, as she needed to rush back to the fast food restaurant to prepare lunchboxes.
The lunch menu consisted of spicy seaweed strips, blanched broccoli, and steamed egg dumplings with chili powder.
He Wenlin had to rush back because her parents didn't know how to make spicy seaweed strips or broccoli.
We can't cook the same few dishes they make every day at noon, or the guests will get tired of them.
When I got back to the store, it was 10:40.
"How much did the breakfast shop make today?" Mr. He asked.
"I don't know yet. I was busy today and didn't count the money. I'll ask Shanshan when she gets back." He Wenlin said as she worked.
He's father helped He Wenlin by first preparing a pot of blanched broccoli, and then another pot of spicy seaweed strips!
At 11 o'clock, the two pots were ready. Ruan Lingfeng and Ruan Min quickly packed them up, while Lin Fei quickly fried rice with eggs, as they still had to rush to Meihua to deliver the goods.
He Wenlin and her father continued preparing the remaining broccoli and seaweed.
"Ring ring..." The phone rang.
He Wenjun, the younger brother, was packing egg rolls and hadn't come over yet. Ruan Lingfeng answered the phone, and He Wenlin could only hear him making "uh-huh" noises.
After hanging up the phone, he said to He Wenlin with a happy expression, "Linlin, Shanshan called and said she won't be coming for lunch. Peng Liang placed a takeout order this morning: twenty wontons, ten steamed buns, thirteen steamed dumplings, and fifty-two glutinous rice balls. She's working over there. She said she asked Tang Xiaolian to come over at eleven o'clock to work overtime."
Lin Fei laughed and said, "That's great! That adds up to over a hundred in revenue. Let's have another round tonight, and we should be able to break six hundred in revenue today."
Ruan Lingfeng was also happy for He Wenlin: "Once the house and facilities over there are all set up, we can add rice bowl delivery and expand the business. Maybe it will be even better than this place. There are no walk-in customers here, but the breakfast shop over there is right on the main road, and there is a bus stop in front of it. The business will definitely be very good."
"Hearing what you've said, I feel like I'm already a rich woman," He Wenlin said with a smile. "Thank you for your kind words. If the business over there takes off, I'll give everyone red envelopes! I mean it!"
Nothing motivates people more than money!
Team cohesion never depends on the awareness of its employees!
At 11:43, all the remaining dishes were ready, and He Wenlin could finally retire.
Lin Fei and He's father can make fried noodles and fried rice. He Wenlin only needs to come back and cook the dishes at crucial moments. The rest will be handled by these assistants!
He Wenlin washed her face, then packed a few popsicles and went to the food factory.
He Wenlin doesn't have much money right now, so she didn't install air conditioning. Instead, she put large fans behind each person, but even so, it was still very hot sitting next to the machines.
They were all drenched in sweat.
"Thank you all for your hard work these past two days. Take a break and have an ice pop to cool off."
He Wenlin handed one to each person.
"Thank you, young boss."
"Boss, are you still hiring?" Li Xiaojuan asked while eating an ice pop.
"We're hiring. We need three people: two to make egg rolls and one to pack them. The pay is 2.5 yuan per hour. Making egg rolls is harder than packing. Starting tomorrow, those of you making egg rolls will receive a high-temperature allowance."
Upon hearing about the high-temperature allowance, everyone's eyes lit up, and they asked, "How is the high-temperature allowance calculated?"
"Based on your working hours, it will be calculated at three percent of your wages, but it will only be available for four months: June, July, August, and September. In addition to the high-temperature allowance, around 2 PM, I will have someone bring you popsicles, one for each person, to cool you down."
"Thank you, young boss!"
Three percent may not sound like much, but it's better than nothing.
