“I’m not adding any other flavors for the time being,” He Wenlin said.
Most of the customers at He Wenlin's restaurant are from other provinces and prefer stronger flavors. So, they don't like the milder or even sweeter flavors, so He Wenlin doesn't plan to add any new flavors for the time being.
If we open a branch later, we can consider it, but right now there's no one who can handle things. Mr. and Mrs. He aren't reliable either, especially Mr. He, who is even more unreliable. We don't know when or when we'll open a branch.
It was almost 6:30 when I finished breakfast.
Everyone quickly started making glutinous rice balls; now He Wenlin doesn't even need to urge them anymore.
He Wenlin taught Liu Xiaomei how to wrap glutinous rice balls. She first demonstrated for her, and then let her wrap them by hand. He Wenlin stood aside and watched, giving pointers when she encountered problems.
After wrapping four or five, Liu Xiaomei started to get the hang of it and wasn't as clumsy as she had been at the beginning, so He Wenlin stopped bothering her.
Wrapping these isn't difficult; once you get the hang of it, you'll naturally be able to wrap them faster and better.
At 6:40, Ruan Lingfeng rode his bicycle to Meihua to deliver goods.
By the time he returned, it was already 7:05, and the store was already in its peak order pickup period.
Liu Xiaomei was stunned to see so many people. She hadn't felt it when she was making glutinous rice balls, but now that so many people were coming to pick up their meals and even pre-ordering lunch and afternoon snacks, she finally had a real sense of what was happening!
How much money must they make in a day!
She was envious, but Liu Xiaomei also knew that she didn't have the ability or skills to open a fast food restaurant.
"Linlin, you've hired someone again?" Li Haibing, a fellow villager, saw Liu Xiaomei next to He Wenlin and assumed she was someone He Wenlin had hired.
As He Wenlin loaded the shirt factory's goods onto the tricycle, she explained, "This is Aunt Liu who came to learn how to make glutinous rice balls from me."
"You even take on apprentices?" Li Haibing asked in shock.
Not only was he shocked, but everyone else was too.
Zhou Libo said with a smile, "Do you still accept apprentices? I'd like to learn too."
"Sure, the tuition is two thousand, and it's guaranteed to teach you until you learn it. If you want to learn, Brother Zhou, I'll give you a discount." He Wenlin said with a smile, then rode her tricycle to the shirt factory to deliver goods.
I gave Peng Liang a hundred vouchers yesterday, but I don't know if he's sold them all.
When I arrived at the shirt factory, it was almost 7:20, and the entrance was already crowded with people.
As soon as they saw He Wenlin, everyone gathered around her.
Peng Liang and several group leaders helped read out names and distribute meals.
Although there were many people ordering meals, there were also many people distributing them, and the meals were all distributed in just five or six minutes.
Peng Liang handed the money, vouchers, and order details to He Wenlin, saying, "I've already sold out the vouchers for 100 yuan a set. There are 46 sets left that cost 52 yuan a set. Everyone's orders from noon today have already used the vouchers. Here are the order details and the money. Count them."
He Wenlin counted and found that the money from selling vouchers alone amounted to 5,208 yuan.
Seeing so much money, Peng Liang was tempted. He even wanted to open a shop and start a business, but unfortunately, he had neither capital nor skills.
There were 63 boxed lunch orders, 18 fried noodle orders, and 10 fried rice orders at lunchtime. All of them used coupons.
He Wenlin and Peng Liang spent more than ten minutes calculating the accounts. After confirming that there were no problems with the money and vouchers, He Wenlin said, "Thank you for your hard work. Come to my house after get off work tonight, and I will calculate your commission. If anyone still wants to buy vouchers, tell them that the promotion is over. If they insist on buying, say that they are a regular customer. Try to talk to me about it. Don't agree to customers' requests too easily."
"Okay, it's not safe for you to carry so much money. I'll take you back."
Five thousand yuan! That's a lot of people's annual salary. It's no joke.
"Go back to work. It should be fine during the day, and it's not far from here."
"I'll give it to you, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Peng Liang was already late for work, but since they were paid by piecework, he had already verbally asked for half an hour off in the morning, so it wasn't a big problem.
Peng Liang rode his bike in front, while He Wenlin sat inside, her happy smile impossible to suppress.
More than five thousand.
Adding that to what I saved before, it's over ten thousand yuan now, bringing me one step closer to buying a house.
Peng Liang rode his bicycle to drop He Wenlin off at the store entrance, and then went back home.
He Wenlin kept quiet about receiving the huge sum of more than 5,000 yuan from Peng Liang.
Back at the shop, he casually taught Liu Xiaomei how to fry crispy snacks.
At this point, it becomes even simpler. Just pay attention to the heat. He Wenlin will demonstrate first, just like before, and then let her try it. After that, she will watch her work. Once she can handle it, He Wenlin will move on to other things.
"Shanshan, how many orders did you receive this morning?" He Wenlin asked.
"We haven't calculated it yet, let's calculate it now."
He Wenlin and the others counted the money, while He Shan quickly calculated the orders.
We have to tally the orders at this time every day, because it affects the number of meals we can prepare at lunchtime.
About ten minutes later, He Shan said, "Today at noon, we have 38 servings of fried noodles and 82 servings of boxed lunches. Tonight, we have 30 servings of fried noodles, 68 servings of boxed lunches, and 20 servings of fried rice. Almost all the customers are from the Bosi Garment Factory."
“We actually received 548.8 yuan, which is 3.2 yuan short,” He Wenlin said. “Grandma, please keep this money. We need to pay for the phone installation tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this number, Mr. He couldn't stop smiling: "As always, He Xing's business is really nonexistent."
Lin Fei said, "I just went to the bathroom and heard that Qianqian's dad is going to find something to do."
Mr. He was even happier: "Then he probably won't do it anymore."
“Then we must do it even better,” said Grandma He.
