Chapter 222 Low-investment, high-return fundraising methods!
After hearing Xu An say last night that Taobao store had 3,000 orders, Zhang Dezhen quickly did some mental calculations.
Three thousand orders means at least three thousand catties. The braised food shop needs to prepare eight hundred catties, and Liu Zhaowen has ordered three hundred catties, for a total of four thousand one hundred catties.
It's definitely not something that can be finished in one day, but Zhang Dezhen wants to try to finish it within two days. The sooner he finishes, the sooner he can go back to work at the braised food shop, where a daily wage of over a hundred yuan is not bad.
So, at 4:30 this morning, Zhang Dezhen got up, washed up, and went to Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Although the fruits and vegetables won't arrive this early, he can prepare the seasonings first! He can cook the braising liquid first! Once the vegetables arrive and are prepared, they can be cooked directly, resulting in an extra batch in the morning!
But when he arrived at the store, he found the store brightly lit.
Outside, there were rows of delivery tricycles, vans, and even small trucks parked...
Lu Ziyue, who was in charge of purchasing, was shouting at the top of his lungs, while the staff transported various goods into the store in an orderly manner amidst the chaos.
Four more people jumped out of the pickup truck, and two people at a time carried a machine up to the second floor of the store. Zhang Dezhen recognized the machines; they were vacuum packaging machines...
"Ziyue, what's going on? Why are you here so early today?" Zhang Dezhen approached Lu Ziyue, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.
"Hey, Master Zhang, you're here!" Lu Ziyue turned around with two huge dark circles under his eyes. The moment he saw Zhang Dezhen, a look of sympathy appeared in his eyes. He patted Zhang Dezhen's shoulder and said, "You've worked hard! You've really worked hard!"
Zhang Dezhen looked bewildered after hearing the two consecutive "hard work"s. "No, what's so hard about it?"
Although I arrived at work an hour early, it was voluntary and not tiring at all!
Before he could ask, Lu Ziyue grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and asked mysteriously, "Do you know how many orders Taobao Store has?"
Zhang Dezhen recalled that Xu An called him at 8:45 pm last night, and the number of orders was 3,000. But everyone needs to rest at night, so at most it should be 5,000 orders! However, since Lu Ziyue asked this question, the number of orders must be quite large.
"Six thousand?"
Lu Ziyue shook his head, his teeth bared even wider.
"Seven...eight thousand?"
"Be bolder," Lu Ziyue reminded him.
"Then, ten thousand!" Zhang Dezhen felt his heart pounding wildly.
"Be bolder!"
"Twelve thousand!" Seeing that Lu Ziyue's eyes looked a little strange, Zhang Dezhen felt that his young heart couldn't take it anymore, and he spoke first, "No more guessing, just tell me!"
"Hehe!" Lu Ziyue rubbed his hands together like a fly, and slowly said a number: "Eighteen thousand!"
If Lu Ziyue previously thought that the wide-eyed stare was just an exaggeration, he now knew that it was not an exaggeration, but a realistic depiction! The moment he uttered that number, Zhang Dezhen's eyes seemed to have been enhanced with special effects, taking up half of his face.
Eighteen thousand orders. Even if each order only buys two kilograms of vegetarian braised food, after deducting costs, there's still two yuan left. The commission for eighteen thousand orders of braised food is 1,800 yuan! Half a day's work is almost half a month's salary!
After calculating this, Zhang Dezhen felt that he could work 24 hours straight and still be full of energy!
He didn't even feel heartache about the more than one hundred yuan in wages he lost from the braised food shop every day.
Xujia Village.
Xu An didn't get home until almost one o'clock last night, and the two little ones were already fast asleep when he got back.
I don't know if it's a habit they developed during their time at kindergarten, but now they no longer sleep haphazardly; instead, they lie neatly on their sides. However, they still kicked off their blankets, and their pajamas were lifted up, revealing their round little bellies that rose and fell with their breathing.
After covering the two of them with small blankets and turning the fan up to a higher setting, Xu An also lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.
I felt like I hadn't been asleep long when the alarm clock rang. Half-asleep, I reached out to turn it off, but instead of the alarm clock, my hand touched a chubby little hand...
Holy crap!
Xu An sat up in bed with a somersault, looking at the small hand he was holding with lingering fear. Only after realizing that the small hand belonged to Xu Le did he breathe a sigh of relief.
In that instant, images of Taoist priests, talismans, and temples flashed through Xu An's mind, but thankfully it was just a false alarm.
Just as Xu An was in a daze, Xu Kang and Xu Le had already groggily gotten up, sat on the bed, rubbed their eyes with their chubby little hands, and yawned, looking like they were so sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.
"It's only five o'clock, it's not your wake-up time yet..."
Before Xu An could finish speaking, the two little ones rolled to the edge of the bed, got off the bed, and walked towards the window with their short little legs.
"What's wrong? Do you need to go to the toilet?" Xu An quickly got out of bed and followed behind the two.
"No!" Xu Kang shook his head, unzipped the Ultraman backpack with his little hands, reached inside and rummaged around for a while before pulling something out. He presented it to Xu An like a treasure, and earnestly instructed, "Brother, Brother Heping said you're very busy and don't even have time to eat lunch! Here, have this chocolate. Eat it if you're hungry. I asked the teacher, and adults can eat chocolate too, so you can have some too! It's sweet and delicious!"
