Chapter 136: Tiramisu discusses buying a TV...
Chapter 136
The family worked together to research what products would be suitable for the food truck.
Finally we decided on freshly squeezed juice and seaweed rolls.
Freshly squeezed juice is ten yuan per cup. Start with 50 kilograms of oranges a day and see how the sales go before deciding whether to increase the price.
As for seaweed rolls, they are also ten dollars per box, and twenty boxes are prepared every morning.
"Brother, you have to go back to work at the foreign trade company on the third day of the new year. When the time comes, I'll take you to buy a juicer. Can you buy the same brand as me?" Lin Mujin asked.
Cousin Lin added, "The Huimei juicer is very easy to use. It's easy to apply force and squeezes juice very cleanly."
Cousin Lin naturally had no objection. "Okay, since you all say it works well, I'll definitely buy the same one."
Cousin Lin added, "We have all the seasonings at home. I'll go teach Mrs. Luo how to make seaweed rolls."
Cousin Lin nodded and said, "Okay, call me when the time comes and I'll learn from you."
Cousin Lin then asked, "Sister, you mentioned at the dinner table that you wanted to open a third store. Do you have a plan?"
Lin Mujin chuckled twice, "I can't hide it from you, brother. I'm looking for a partner who's reliable and well-connected. Our store might be small, but its profit margins aren't low. Opening a few more will naturally boost our profits. But I'm still hesitant. Finding a partner is hard. After all, you can only know a person's face, not their heart. Besides, money can be a powerful tool. It looks good now, but it's not always easy when it comes to money."
She has the experience of two lifetimes and knows that it is best not to do business with others, which is also the point that makes her hesitant.
If her family hadn't been so nice, and if she hadn't had anyone else to work with at the time, she shouldn't have gone into business with her family.
Money can not only turn friends against each other, but also turn relatives against each other.
Fortunately, they seem to be fine now.
Cousin Lin asked, "Are you talking about Lawyer Li?"
Lin Mujin didn't deny it. "He's just one of the candidates I'm considering. I don't need him to be rich to be a partner, but he must have a certain network of connections to find a suitable store for us and ensure its safety. Otherwise, I won't open a third store so easily."
Cousin Lin sighed, "We know that opening a store can make money, and we have enough capital, but we still don't dare to open it."
Lin Mujin spread her hands and shrugged helplessly.
The general environment is not something that ordinary people like them can change, so they can only adapt to it.
There was silence in the house for a while.
Lin Mujin saw that the atmosphere was not good. Today was Chinese New Year. "Sister, we are not short of money now. Why don't we buy a TV?"
With a TV, you can have more entertainment and read the news.
Lin Muli raised both hands in agreement, "Buy it, buy it."
Cousin Lin looked at him and said, "If you weren't at home, I would have bought it a long time ago."
Lin Muli scratched his head. "It's related to me? I didn't spend much money."
Cousin Lin smiled and said, "Who said you spent too much money? You are the only student in the family now. You have to read every day. I am afraid that if I buy a TV, you will not be able to concentrate on reading."
Lin Mujin understood, just like many families in her previous life did not buy computers.
I’m afraid that computer addiction will affect my studies.
Lin Muli saw that everyone was looking at him and knew that they were waiting for his promise. "I will definitely study hard and read books."
Lin Mujin said, "Then go back to your bedroom and read."
Lin Muli argued, "You won't let me see that. That's so inappropriate."
Lin Mujin glanced at him and said, "Only half an hour a day. Watching too much is not good for your eyes."
Then I discussed with my cousin Lin which domestic products to buy.
Cousin Lin said, "There are many Japanese brands in the mall, and the prices are relatively cheap."
Lin Mujin really doesn't like Xiaorizi products, but she has to admit that Xiaorizi is pretty awesome these days, otherwise Beauty Country wouldn't be buying it. "Let's go to the mall in a few days. I think Philips is pretty good too."
Cousin Lin said, "I don't have the time. Go and look at them. Buy whatever you like."
Lin Mujin asked, "Sister, when are you planning to open?"
Cousin Lin held up two fingers and said, "Second grade."
Lin Mujin asked uncertainly, "Will the vegetable market be open on the second day of the New Year?"
Cousin Lin smiled and said, "I asked and it will definitely be open on the second day of the new year."
Lin Mujin looked at Cousin Lin again.
Cousin Lin said helplessly, "Then we can open on the second day of the New Year."
Lin Mujin said, "Actually, it's okay to rest for two more days."
Cousin Lin refused to do it. "One day less of business means less money."
Cousin Lin also said, "I don't have much to do at home anyway, so it's better to open the business early."
Lin Mujin wanted to say that it would be good if nothing happened, and it would be comfortable to lie at home.
But she still kept her mouth shut, she couldn't persuade cousin Lin.
"Brother, I'm planning to go inland in May. Can you still accompany me?" Lin Mujin had to ask because the situation had changed.
Before, Cousin Lin was considered a redundant employee, so one more food truck with him wouldn’t make much difference, and one less food truck with him wouldn’t make much difference either.
But now they have to add more items, and the food truck will be very busy, so he has no time to leave.
Cousin Lin said firmly, "I'll definitely accompany you. I can't let you go alone. At worst, I can hire someone else. Didn't you say at the dinner table that if Mrs. Luo performs well, you can let her take charge? I think she's totally capable."
Cousin Lin also nodded, "She can."
Lin Mujin concluded, "Let's observe her for another month. If she performs well, we'll promote her and hire a new person for her to lead. How will her salary be calculated then?"
Cousin Lin hesitated and said, "She and Wang Xiaoli were paid the same salary, including food and accommodation, for 1,500 yuan. They didn't specify how much each earned."
Cousin Lin simply said, "Just add 1,500 yuan. Wang Xiaoli's job hasn't changed, so it's clearly Mrs. Luo who got the promotion and the raise."
Lin Mujin stretched out her hand and slapped him. "Is it okay to raise the price by this much?"
Cousin Lin thought it was okay, "I think it's okay."
Cousin Lin also agreed, "A 500 yuan increase is fine."
Lin Mujin looked at her cousin Lin again and said, "Sister, you should also take good care of Wang Xiaoli and Zhou Yumei. We will definitely open another store in the future. We need people like Mrs. Luo who can manage a stall."
Cousin Lin muttered, "I treated you well."
Cousin Lin said, "Next time, don't hire someone too young. Ideally, someone in their thirties."
Lin Mujin added, "People in their thirties have a lot of life experience and are in peak physical condition. But it's rare to be single at this age without any burdens."
It would be energy-consuming to bring a family with them, but they are a little hesitant to use it as they are alone.
They are actually quite contradictory when it comes to recruiting.
Cousin Lin had obviously thought of this as well, "I'll ask my friends to help us take a look."
Lin Mujin said, "If the person you choose is excellent, we'll accept it if you give us a little more commission."
Then he turned to Cousin Lin and said, "Sister, I was reading a baking book today and I thought there was a product that would be very suitable for Huimei."
She went into the bedroom to get a book, "It's this tiramisu..."
