Chapter 40: Sales of over 2,000 per day...
Chapter 40
Lin Mujin did not help with the recording; Cousin Lin did it all herself.
She is responsible for checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, such as reminding others what they bought and how much they spent.
Cousin Lin grumbled, "You bought too much! One page isn't even enough."
Lin Mujin said, "If you encounter this situation, draw the form in the same way and write the same date. That way, when you check the accounts, you will know that the two pages are the same account."
Cousin Lin nodded, indicating that she had learned a new trick.
Lin Mujin didn’t mention any other methods, such as writing the page numbers at the bottom of the paper, 1, 123, 12, 123… and so on.
It is easy to see that the one starting with 1 is a new accounting date.
For example, 123 means these three pages are the account book for one day, because the next page is not 4 but 1.
"Sister, you take care of the calculations first. I'm going back to my room to finish the manuscript." Lin Mujin thought that if she wrote more now, she could go to bed early at night.
She is still growing, so it is always good for her to get more sleep.
Cousin Lin waved her hand, "Go ahead, go ahead."
Lin Mujin subconsciously locked the door as she entered the house. She heard her cousin say, "Why did you lock the door again? Aren't you feeling too hot?"
Lin Mujin stuck out her tongue and pretended not to hear.
Soon I was completely absorbed in the novel.
"Sister, sister, come here quickly!"
Lin Mujin quickly wrote the entire sentence, put away the notebook, and said, "Here I come."
"Come here quickly, sister, the money has been counted!" Cousin Lin waved at her wildly, leaving afterimages of her fingers.
Lin Mujin pushed Lin Muye aside and asked, "How much?"
Cousin Lin pressed her lips together, her voice trembling, "We just counted the money twice, the total is..."
She wanted to keep it a secret, but Lin Muli quickly answered, "Two thousand two hundred and sixty-eight yuan."
Lin Mujin's mouth formed an O shape. "So much."
I knew it would be a big hit today, but I didn't expect it to be this big.
Cousin Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing, "We counted it twice together, it's definitely right."
Lin Mujin still reached out, "Let me see the account book."
Cousin Lin was a little embarrassed. "I haven't finished recording the account book yet. I can't remember how much the fried dumplings and hot noodles sold for. The money was collected together."
Lin Mujin slapped her forehead. She'd made another common sense mistake. Without electronic payment systems, she couldn't track every order. "I was wrong. I could have just recorded the amount, then some general information, like two buckets of batter, two pots of fried dumpling filling, etc."
Cousin Lin nodded, "If you remember it this way, I will."
Lin Mujin took a look at the total and found that she was still losing more than two thousand yuan. She bought a lot of things at that time and also spent a lot of management fees.
Although Cousin Lin did not record the net profit, she could also estimate it.
She had previously calculated the cost of making hot noodles to be around two dollars, and after factoring in labor, electricity, machine wear and tear, and packaging, it was four dollars.
But Cousin Lin and Uncle Lin also sell fried dumplings and sour plum soup, so the labor costs have to be reduced. Moreover, she only estimated that she would sell 60 bowls of hot noodles every day, but today it is definitely more than 200 bowls, so various losses have to be reduced further.
Then the cost of a bowl of hot noodles is definitely no more than three dollars, and the net profit of each bowl is probably between 62% and 65%.
So today's net profit is quite considerable.
"Sister, where do we put this money?" Cousin Lin was a little worried. "No one is home during the day, and it's not safe even if it's locked."
Lin Mujin said, "Can you open a passbook?"
Uncle Lin said, "This business is for you to do. Go and write the letter."
Lin Mujin didn't refuse, but said, "We agreed at the time that I would only take half, uncle and sis would take 20%, and the remaining 30% would be shared. All future purchases and household expenses would come from this 30%, so if the money is to be divided, it should be divided into three parts."
Uncle Lin waved his hand and said, "I didn't do anything, so there's no need to divide it."
Lin Mujin pretended to be angry, "Uncle, this is what we agreed on, and you changed your mind again. Should I break up with him?"
Uncle Lin quickly coaxed, "I'll give you my share."
Lin Mujin shook her head firmly, "I don't want it. I already have half. It's settled. Sister will split the money."
Cousin Lin asked uncertainly, "Divide now?"
Lin Mujin said firmly, "Separate immediately."
Cousin Lin grinned, "Two thousand two hundred and sixty-eight divided by two is... um..."
I'm stuck. The number is a bit big and I can't calculate it mentally right away.
Lin Muli was the one who answered again, this time saving the situation. "One thousand one hundred and thirty-four."
Cousin Lin looked at Lin Mujin, and when she nodded, she began to count the money, "Sister, here's the money."
Cousin Lin looked at Lin Muli and asked, "Brother, how much should dad and I get?"
Lin Muli replied, "One thousand one hundred and thirty-four divided by five times two equals approximately four hundred and fifty-four. You and Uncle each get two hundred and twenty-seven dollars."
Cousin Lin started counting the money again. "Dad, this is yours. Haha... This is mine! I'll deposit it tomorrow." She had a passbook, but then she thought of her booming business. "No, I don't have time."
Uncle Lin still took the money. Although his face was tense, people who knew him could still see that he was happy.
That's right, who doesn't like small amounts of money?
Lin Mujin also loves it very much, so she won’t tease the old man anymore, as he will become shy if she continues to tease him.
I took over what my cousin had said, "You can deposit it. There won't be many customers around 9 o'clock. I can handle it. You just need to go to the bank."
Then he started counting the money, "Brother, this is to pay you back, one thousand first."
I'll pay the rest back tomorrow.
Including the money the brother spent on buying flour and ingredients these two times, the total amount was more than 700 yuan.
The money I was given was not enough, and even with the money in my pocket, it was still not enough.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to pay it back.
Cousin Lin didn't answer, "I'm not in a hurry to use the money."
Lin Mujin stuffed it in directly and said, "This is called borrowing well and repaying well. It won't be difficult to borrow again."
Cousin Lin still took the money with a smile.
Cousin Lin suddenly said, "Brother should pay for vegetables and noodles from this 30%, but it doesn't seem to be enough." It was a bit embarrassing.
Lin Mujin said, "Sister, you didn't even have the 30% at that time, and you still need to buy food tomorrow morning with this money."
So she has to pay back the money as an initial investment. It's only this time anyway, and the 30% will naturally be paid in the future.
"Oh, sis, you have to keep a record of how you divide the money, and how you spend the 30%. It's best to get a new book, separate from the one you have. That one will be easier to remember. Start with the date, then write a dollar amount, which is the remaining 30% of the daily distribution. Then write down every expense, like buying pork or shrimp."
Cousin Lin was a little confused. "Aren't those two account books duplicates?"
Lin Mujin explained, "There's no duplication. The first account book is for daily business transactions. The second account book is for spending, including household expenditures."
Cousin Lin seemed to understand, but not quite, and had a "whatever you say is what it is" attitude. "Okay, then I'll find another notebook."
Lin Mujin didn't explain any more, fearing that the more she explained, the more confused she would become. After practicing it twice, she finally understood. She changed the subject and said, "Sister, I'll pay you the thousand yuan I owe you tomorrow."
Cousin Lin said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not afraid that you will default on your debt."
I earn more than a thousand yuan a day, so how could I be short of her little money?
However, “Who will take care of the remaining money (the public 30%)?”
Lin Mujin said, "Of course it's your responsibility. You have to buy ingredients every day."
Cousin Lin thought about it and said, "I will write a separate memorial."
Keep it separate from your own money.
Lin Muli pouted and said, "I'm the only one who has no money."
Lin Mujin counted out a hundred mosquitoes and said, "Here!"
Lin Muli immediately took it, baring his teeth, "Thank you, sister."
Lin Mujin coughed and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. This money is for you to buy food. Let's celebrate with dinner tomorrow and buy a few more dishes."
Lin Muli looked at the money in his hand with grievance, "It's not for me."
Lin Mujin argued with him, "Just tell me if you want to eat the delicious food you bought."
Lin Muli snorted, "Eat! I'll eat three big portions!"
Lin Mujin wasn't afraid. "If you're not afraid of being full, then eat."
