Chapter 112 Choose a Cook
Lin Yan thought for a moment, "How about all three of you come at noon today, and each cook a dish. Then the worker will say whoever cooks the best will stay. Well, if you only cook for three people, it will be 15 yuan a month. If there are many scavengers who take the goods, the price will be increased as appropriate."
Don't say that Uncle Xia only comes to sleep for 18 yuan a month. If something is lost, he will have to compensate according to the proportion. Anyway, it costs 18 yuan a month, if you can guarantee that nothing is lost. Lin Yan thinks it is a good deal!
"Ah, and you have to cook for those scavengers?" The three young wives' focus is not on Uncle Xia.
Lin Yan nodded, "Yes, think about it or not."
While talking, the villagers from the family who borrowed the ladder before came over with eggs and vegetables. These days, Lin Yan tried to buy vegetables and eggs from her family. After all, they borrowed the ladder. And the two families are so close, maybe they will have to deal with each other in other ways.
Now that the things are brought over, she took out the scale to weigh them. But she didn't pay in front of the secretary and the three cooks.
The secretary said, "It's okay. Who wouldn't know what's going on? No one cares about these things now. Besides, in those ten years, farmers could also bring the food they couldn't finish at home to the market to exchange for other things."
Although it's called exchange, most of the time they didn't charge money. After all, bartering is too troublesome, and money, a general equivalent, is more convenient to use.
Otherwise, it would be so troublesome to exchange for a box of matches or a bag of salt. You have to go through this several times in the middle!
Lin Yan quickly calculated the money and gave it to the other party.
Among the cooks, there was a woman named Wei Saozi whose eyes rolled. If this was still for the garbage collector, oh no, the scavenger to cook. Then there would be more vegetables to buy. If I became a cook, I could buy them from my own family.
This family had the advantage of location before, and could sell vegetables and eggs conveniently. Her family had the support of people.
So she said readily, "Teacher Lin, I have no problem cooking for the scavenger."
The other two thought about it, isn't it the same to cook for anyone? He also hurriedly said, "That's fine with me."
Lin Yan nodded, "Then you come in and see what dishes are available for lunch, and think about what to cook. Well, the one who cooks the best will be hired, and the other two will also receive 20 cents as a reward."
After a comparison at noon, the three employees unanimously said that the dishes cooked by Wei Saozi were the best. Lin Yan decided on Wei Saozi and gave 20 cents to each of the other two. It's not a wasted trip to get 20 cents.
Moreover, all three said that Wei Saozi's dishes were the best, which was considered fair competition. If you lose, you won't bear a grudge.
Today is August 6th. Teacher Gao bought paper for writing couplets and banners at home, and was preparing to write them. Of course, this was also the goods that Fang Mingche ordered from him.
The upper couplet is: Collect all the useless things in the world, process them and reuse them; the lower couplet is: Purchase the waste products in the world and turn them into treasures.
Banner: Recycle waste products. Try to
be as simple and easy to understand as possible.
This set of banners and couplets, the total cost of processing is 50 cents. It's not the Spring Festival now, and the supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell this. Even if they sell it, people won't write this.
When Fang Mingche came back from closing the stall, Teacher Gao took it over. The two of them settled the bill and had a pleasant cooperation.
Teacher Gao saw that Fang Mingche was a little unhappy, "Is it still about whether he can go to Normal University?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "Before the result came out, I was worried. Besides, I am a little tired after working the stall all day. I can only smile in front of customers, but I don't want to deliberately put on a smile when I get home. You are not an outsider, so I am too lazy to treat you with a business attitude."
"Your work is indeed not very practical. Fortunately, the results should be out soon."
"Yeah."
Lin Yan came back and told Fang Mingche about Zhu Dahai's performance in the past few days, "I think he is not practical. He has ideas, but he can't just slack off while collecting wages. We are self-employed, not like state-owned or collective factories, where people can be like this."
Fang Mingche nodded, "I'll communicate with him. We can't kill without teaching!"
If Zhu Dahai doesn't want to do it, there are still four educated youths who have returned to the city waiting for vacancies.
However, except for Song Quan, Zhu Dahai was the first to work with the couple. If he is fired for this, it will also make others feel disheartened. Of course, leaving him alone is definitely not an option. It will be difficult to lead the team in the future.
Therefore, managing people is really a big deal! It must be handled properly.
Lin Yan said, "After the communication, if he still has this work attitude, I tend to fire him. Otherwise, others will follow suit. As for whether he will compete with me in selling vegetables and eggs in the future, it's up to him. But people near the scrap yard probably won't sell to him. He has to find another place to go."
She is now eager to do business. She also wants to start a business that can make money. Selling vegetables and eggs requires relatively small investment. And as long as they can be sold, small profits but quick turnover will definitely make money.
She thought about it and could ask Xiao Xie to sell eggs at the hospital gate, or find a few more people to sell vegetables and eggs near the market.
There is also Lao Cui's restaurant, and they can try to reach a long-term cooperation. Anyway, his family has to ride a tricycle to the black market every day to buy vegetables and meat. I can provide him with fresh ones every day.
As for transportation, let the employees who ride tricycles to and from the market do it. Give them an extra hard work fee.
The acquisition is also easy to handle, just collect it at the scrap yard. Later, I can let Wei's wife do this and give her an extra sum of money. In this way, the cost is really less.
If she succeeds, she can even set up a small stall. There are already vegetable and fruit stalls on the street.
If the scrap yard is still subsidizing it, she can even use the money she earns from the vegetable stall to make up for it. This is more fulfilling than just helping Mingche to set up a tea stall before.
Fang Mingche is naturally happy that she is so enthusiastic about doing business. Moreover, the vegetable stall is indeed feasible. The village is limited by the distance and lack of transportation to transport the vegetables to the city for sale, so they ride their bikes back and forth every day.
He nodded, "Okay, okay. When the scrap yard business is on track, you can start working on this. When this is on track, it will be time for school to start soon. I will go to Liu Qingfeng and Gengshan to find out the situation first. There is hot water in the pot, you take a bath first."
Yanyan has been following her father to the stall these two days. Anyway, it's the dog days of summer, and the stall is closer. She thought it was a bit novel to go to the scrap yard before, so she followed.
As for going out in the dog days of summer, the little girl doesn't think it's hard. She vaguely remembered that no matter whether it was hot or cold, it seemed that someone had to go to the fields to work.
But when she went to the stall, she always thought about the ice cream, popsicles, and mung bean cakes on the stall next to her. Ice cream was five cents each, and popsicles and mung bean cakes were ten cents each.
