Chapter 250
Su Miao told them that if they had any ideas, they could feel free to raise them, and she would consider it unless it was beyond the scope of the requirements.
Aunt Yang said, "Boss, this is the case. We two have no requirements for salary. Five or ten yuan of pocket money is fine. The main reason is that we feel bored staying at home every day, so we want to find some serious work to do so that we can relax.
But we would like to be able to finish work earlier in the afternoon and at noon, such as at 11 o'clock and 4:30, so that we can go home to cook. However, we can come very early in the morning! 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock is not a problem. "
Su Miao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can leave work at this time. We are quite flexible here, but there are two key points to ensure the hygiene and quality of the products. You must always pay attention when processing and drying them. The workshop door must be kept closed at all times, and no outsiders or small animals can come into contact with the papaya shreds.
Also, when leaving work or taking a vacation, the handover must be clear. For example, when leaving work, we must hand over to our supervisor Su Hui and ask her to look after the papaya shreds that are drying. If there is something urgent at home, we must also call to ask for leave.
Both Aunt Yang and Aunt Xie said, "No problem, no problem. Since we are here to work, we will definitely follow the rules and will not do anything arbitrarily. Please rest assured, boss."
"Okay, then let's agree on the salary. Working hours are from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM and from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. You have one day off every four days, which is the two days when the papaya shreds are drying. You can take turns resting. 30 yuan per month. Is that okay?"
Working four days a week and having one day off, and the working hours are short, the salary has exceeded their expectations. Both aunts happily agreed to come to work at the beginning of next month.
Because the papaya shreds workshop must be managed in real time, Su Hui will resign from her current job of cooking porridge at the store and promote one of the two girls hired previously to take her place.
The one who was promoted was Xiaoling, who had the same good qualities as Su Hui and Yingzi: she was hardworking, sweet-spoken, and efficient at work.
After two days of training with Jiang Fengyi, he was able to make delicious raw porridge, and the taste level reached the standard of the store. After all, the porridge base and ingredients were prepared by Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu, and they only needed to standardize the amount and heat of the cooking process.
My second aunt had a share of the papaya shreds business, so she took on the entire task of purchasing papayas. When villagers from several surrounding villages heard that their family was collecting papayas, they all came to their door. After all, everyone had several papayas planted in their yards or at the gates of their houses. In the past, people could pick them for free, and they said that they could deliver them to their door if needed.
Second aunt made it clear that she only accepted high-quality green papayas. She would not accept those that were too small, had worms in them, or were crooked and difficult to cut into strips.
To ensure the freshness of green papayas, she harvests them every four days and picks them when the time is right. Even though this kind of papaya that grows naturally on the tree without artificial ripening can be kept for a long time, she does not want to stock it unless the supply decreases in winter.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, papayas grow faster, more people come, and there is a wider range of choices, so the price will naturally drop. Now it is 8 cents each.
The villagers in Sujia Village have now developed a habit of looking up beforehand to see if their papayas are big enough. If they are, they will quickly ask their children to take them to exchange for some money to buy salt.
But don't forget to pick them for a long time, because if they are too ripe, people will not buy them.
People from other villages pick the fruits on the harvest day and have the one with the tricycle bring them over. They then divide the money among themselves when they get back.
My second aunt was also given the nickname "Papaya Killer" because of her strict selection of products and her ruthless bargaining.
In addition to controlling the cost of papaya, the prices of other seasonings were also renegotiated due to the increase in orders. Although the price reduction was not much, it just covered the increased costs in packaging and labor.
The event officially started with the May Day Labor Day. For this event, Su Ji’s Labor Day holiday was moved to a later date this year.
The guests who came to Su Ji for dinner that day were all attracted by the large promotional poster on the wall.
"Eat shredded papaya and win 999 cash?"
“If you eat papaya every day, the God of Wealth will come to your home?”
"Hey! Look at the redemption rules below. There's a card in every bottle of papaya shreds. Collect two sets to redeem for cash, a total of 17 cards. The collection period is two years. After two years, any cards not redeemed will be invalid."
The guests asked Su Miao and the others about the authenticity of the event. They had been trained long ago and explained the content of the event clearly and over and over again.
The store was in an uproar. 999 in cash! Half a year's salary could be given away for a simple meal like shredded papaya?
We need to eat side dishes anyway, so why not just buy Su Ji's shredded papaya instead of other options? At least there's a chance you'll win something, and even if you don't win the grand prize, there are still other smaller prizes!
An uncle waved his hand and said, "Buy! I'll buy two bottles first!"
After he bought the shredded papaya, he wanted to draw a card on the spot. The other diners were so curious that they all crowded around him to watch.
"No! Stop surrounding me! It's making me nervous too!"
"Hey! Big brother! Please open it quickly! We all want to see what this card looks like. Are the cards from the same batch the same? If so, we can buy them in batches."
At everyone's urging, the uncle peeled off a corner of the wrapping paper and pulled out a small card inside.
"Dragon! This is a dragon card!"
"Wow! This card is colorful and beautifully drawn. The dragon is quite majestic!"
"What does the Su Ji Food Shop X Guan Xin in the lower left corner mean? Who is Guan Xin?"
Su Miao heard the question and squeezed in to answer, "Guan Xin is a designer in Beijing. The cards we released this time were designed in collaboration with her. Do you think they look good?"
"It's so beautiful! He's a famous designer in Beijing. No wonder! It's much better than those graffiti on the street!"
"Miao! Your family is really generous in organizing this event! With such a high prize money, you even hired a famous designer to create the paintings. Your family is really rich."
Su Miao said politely, "Our business is thanks to everyone's support, so of course we have to find a way to give back to everyone. That's why we launched this event to make everyone happy. If everyone likes it, we will continue to launch new events in the future."
"Okay, okay! We all like it. Now the important thing is, big brother, open the next bottle quickly! I can't wait!"
The uncle opened the Dragon Card for the first bottle, and when he drew the second one, he kept saying to himself, "Different! Different! Different!"
"Little White Dragon! It's Little White Dragon! Big Brother, there are 17 cards, and you've collected two in one go! We're getting closer and closer to the cash prize!"
