"Boss, my cousin-in-law wants to come and work here. I'll go back and ask her when we eat later," Li Xiaojuan said.
“Okay, go ask her. I also need a full-time helper in Wenshan Village. She needs to be quick and efficient. If you have any relatives or friends looking for work, you can recommend her. Salary is negotiable.”
He Wenlin is young, but she is not a demanding person. The workers all said they would ask her about it when they got off work.
After that, He Wenlin checked the egg roll inventory.
Currently, there are three large baskets in the packing room that have not yet been packed, and thirty-two boxes that have already been packed.
“There are thirty boxes here, and Boss Zhang will be here to pick them up soon,” He Wenjun said. “This morning, I heard from my grandma that they almost got into a fight over the egg rolls.”
"What happened?"
“Boss Zhang came to pick up the goods early this morning. Peng Liang’s friend came later. He was not very nice and wanted to take everything. Later, my uncle explained to him, and Peng Liang said that they could take twenty boxes first before they left.”
As soon as He Wenjun finished speaking, Zhang Hong rode over on his bicycle.
"Boss He is here too."
He Wenlin stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, it's such a hot day, why did you come all this way yourself?"
"Your business is so good that production can't keep up. If I don't come sooner, I'm afraid someone will intercept the goods. Hurry up and put thirty boxes on the truck!"
Upon hearing this, He Wenjun immediately put the goods on his tricycle.
The young man who was packing also stopped to help; two pounds of goods was no big deal for him.
"I need another fifty boxes, come pick them up tomorrow morning." Zhang Hong paid the balance of the previous order and then paid half of the money for this order.
"At this rate, we can produce two hundred boxes a day!"
He Wenjun smiled so broadly that his eyes disappeared from his grin.
“We only sell them for a little over three yuan a kilogram. If we sell two hundred boxes, we won’t make any money,” He Wenlin said. “We’ve invested so much effort and money. If we only sell two hundred boxes a day, what’s the point?”
A box costs 6.5 yuan, so there is some profit, with a gross profit of about 3 yuan, but this doesn't include labor, utilities, and rent.
"Relying on Mr. Zhang and Peng Liang's friend as customers is not enough. We need more people to come and buy goods. Mr. Zhang's business is good now, but in a few days, egg rolls won't be doing so well with him."
He Wenjun looked shocked: "Huh? Why?"
"Market fatigue is a normal phenomenon."
In her past life, when He Wenlin was first transferred to the bread department as supervisor, she promoted peach shortbread and sold it for five yuan per kilogram. On the best day, she sold nine hundred kilograms!
No matter how hard we tried after that, we never reached that volume again, and we sold less and less every day!
Once people get used to this price, it won't be attractive anymore.
Even the most delicious food cannot be eaten every day.
At 12:20, the people at the food factory gradually left work. Li Xiaojuan and Zhang Shuangnan didn't like the food at He Wenlin's place, so they went home for lunch. Their home was nearby, which was convenient.
Ruan Jianxin's whole family works for He Wenlin, so naturally they won't go home for meals. Huang Chunxiang is too lazy to go out either, so she eats here too.
At 12:40, the meals at the Persian Silk Factory were all served.
Everyone sat down to eat.
At this moment, He Shan and Peng Liang also returned.
He Wenlin: You're back just in time, come and eat quickly.
“We’ve already eaten. We were so hungry, we just had wontons at the shop,” He Shan said. “I’m so sleepy, I’m going back to take a nap.”
He Wenlin: "Go ahead, I'm going to go back and get some sleep after I finish eating. You've worked hard today."
Getting up so early, it's impossible not to feel sleepy.
He Wenlin asked Peng Liang, "What did Boss Luo say?"
“He bought the freezer last night. I saw it; it’s huge, two meters long. He’s also arranged the location. As for manpower, he said we don’t need to worry about it. We can start preparing the goods now.”
“Okay, then let’s start preparing the goods tomorrow.” He Wenlin said to Grandma He, Grandma Ruan, and Huang Chunxiang, “The three of you will start preparing the goods tomorrow. Grandma, you and Grandma Huang, go to that breakfast shop over there after eight o’clock to pack the goods. It’s close to Boss Luo, so it’s convenient for delivery. You can eat there for lunch and dinner. Grandma Ruan and Grandma Huang, you two can work a little longer each day these days. Grandma Ruan will pack the goods here.”
They had no objections to He Wenlin's arrangements.
To make money, you definitely have to follow instructions.
"If your second brother goes over there to make those rice bowls, who will be in charge of making egg rolls here?" the old woman asked.
Mr. He said to Mrs. He, "You should quit your job quickly. We're already too busy with our own family, why aren't you coming back?"
"If Mom doesn't want to quit her job, that's fine. We can just hire someone to handle packing, receiving, and shipping. Besides, it's so close to our fast food restaurant, so if anything happens, we can just call them and they'll be there."
My second brother went to Shop No. 2. From now on, the place that makes rice bowls will be called Shop No. 2. He mainly serves lunch and dinner there, so he doesn't need to go there so early. My second brother still helps out during the morning rush hour here.
After finishing dinner in the afternoon, I'll tidy up and come back to rest. I can also take a nap there at noon.
"Dad, from now on, get up at four in the morning and make two batches of egg roll batter first. Then heat up the machines so the workers can start making egg rolls as soon as they arrive. Find a full-time packaging worker, working from 6:30 to 6:00. Overtime can be arranged later. As long as there are people to work, everything can be done. I'll schedule everyone's work and hours in a bit."
With more business now, and considering factors such as technology and the abilities of employees, we can't do without scheduling shifts.
After dinner, He Wenlin took out paper and pen and began writing down everyone's job duties. Only with a schedule and a plan could she know how many more people she needed to hire.
Tang Caihong and Li Xuehua are now quite skilled at making glutinous rice balls.
He Wenlin adjusted her work schedule. One of her shifts required her to start work at 4 a.m. every day, and before 5:30 a.m., she had to start steaming glutinous rice, steaming xiaolongbao and steamed dumplings, and peeling potatoes.
Lin Fei can start stir-frying shredded potatoes at 5:30.
Lin Fei is also responsible for late-night snacks, so it would be best if the person who works the 4 AM shift could stir-fry shredded potatoes, so that Lin Fei can start work at 6:30 AM.
Otherwise, he would be too tired.
This part needs to be highlighted and emphasized.
In the morning, at six o'clock, they can start making the glutinous rice balls that Meihua wants.
Dad gets up at four in the morning, first to prepare the egg roll batter, then to heat up the machine, and then to prepare the xiaolongbao dough.
Making the dough is simple, it's just that Dad doesn't know how to wrap it yet.
There's also the filling preparation; currently, only He Wenlin knows this, and we need to emphasize this point so they can learn it as soon as possible.
