Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Money is coming! Money is coming
When she was young, Chen Xiu Lian was also shy and taciturn, just like Wu Yaqin. However, because her husband died early and she had to raise several children in the family, life forced Chen Xiu Lian to become strong.
Chen Xiulian has been digging for food in the soil all her life and has always been the hardest working and most silent contributor in the family. Suddenly, she received the so-called salary and commission.
Chen Xiulian's heart was hot and soothed, yet also a little sad and aggrieved. These mixed feelings were unable to be vented in her heart. Chen Xiulian cried bitterly. She had suffered all her life and was very old, but it was only because of Jiang Xi that she was able to live a good life.
Xie Xiaoju was already standing behind the cupboard, and with her was Qian Lili. The two of them had now become good friends who could talk about anything.
The two girls were young and full of youth. They stood behind the counter in a pretty manner and wore the same uniform. When customers asked questions, they answered with a smile, their voices were clear and their attitudes were good. Everyone unconsciously had a better and better impression of Wu Ji Zao Lu.
Uniform clothing, good attitude, clean shop, and most importantly, the prices are not as expensive as you might imagine. I feel a lot more comfortable shopping here.
Everyone looked at the menu posted next to the cupboard. The menu was clearly written, with the weight of each type of marinated meat and the corresponding price clearly displayed, so there was no room for ripping off customers.
"Give me a plate of braised chicken. Is there a free gift for a three-dollar order?"
"We'll give away anything worth three yuan, as long as you buy enough."
"Then I'll take the three-dollar one!"
"I want the three-dollar ones, too. I want braised chicken feet!"
"I want a braised platter! With meat and a side of braised edamame!"
"Give me one too, the same one as the one in front!"
Xie Xiaoju and Qian Lili were responsible for letting customers taste the food, and one was responsible for packing and collecting the money. They could barely handle the work. Jiang Xi was also there to help. Any orders that Xie Xiaoju and Qian Lili missed because of their busy schedule were noticed by Jiang Xi and filled in.
Wu Yaqin and Chen Xiulian brought out the marinated food from the kitchen one basin at a time.
The spicy and sour dried radish is pickled in advance, but the chili peppers need to be mixed on the spot. The spicy and sour dried radish sells very well, and soon Chen Xiulian has no time to help Wu Yaqin move the brine, so Qi Yuan naturally takes over.
Wu Youli and Wu Yaoguo also had work to do. People kept coming and going, and they were responsible for cleaning the tables and chairs.
Even Zhou Jiangang, who was just there to watch, did not leave. He helped maintain order at the scene. If he found someone cutting in line, he would frown and ask them to line up again.
Zhou Jiangang was tall and strong and very intimidating. When those who wanted to cut in line saw Zhou Jiangang's face, they gave up the idea and went to line up at the back.
The whole family was busy, and before the afternoon, all the five large stainless steel barrels of fermented brine that they had prepared were sold out.
Jiang Xi specially bought five huge stainless steel barrels, each barrel could hold about 80 kilograms of brine. In just half a day, all the brine was sold out.
Xie Xiaoju said to the customer with a look of regret: "Sorry, we are sold out."
Some customers complained: "I've been waiting for so long, why don't you stock up more!"
Jiang Xi explained with a smile, "I'm sorry, we didn't anticipate everyone's enthusiasm on the first day. We will definitely stock up more in the future. Because my family's braised ...
Seeing Jiang Xi's good attitude and the empty counter, the customer had to leave after getting angry.
Xie Xiaoju breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that the business at the stall in front of the cinema was already booming, but compared with the business in the shop today, it was nothing.
Xie Xiaoju: "Everything in our store is sold out! They're selling so fast!"
Xie Xiaoju felt a little regretful. They could have sold more, but because all the marinated food was sold out, they had to close the store. Businessmen are more energetic the better their business is, and they will never feel tired.
Jiang Xi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xie Xiaoju's money-obsessed look. Ever since she set up her stall, this girl's mind had been filled with business matters. She no longer had the mood to write poetry. Every day she took up her pen just to keep accounts: "There's no way to make enough money. Besides, the less people can buy something, the more they want it. Tomorrow's business should be good."
Everyone else was very happy too. The store was open for the first day and the products sold out so quickly, which was a great start!
Qi Yu'an had been busy for a long time. Before going to the countryside, Qi Yu'an had lived a life of luxury and had never done much physical work. Now that he had been in the countryside for so long, Qi Yu'an had gained strength. After going back and forth to the kitchen many times, he only had some sweat on his forehead.
Jiang Xi walked to Qi Yu'an and asked, "Are you tired?"
Qi Yuan shook his head: "Not tired."
"Do you have anything else to do later? Has anything delayed you today?"
Qi Yu'an looked at his watch and said, "Fortunately, I'll be there in a bit. Today is your first store opening, so of course I have to come. Congratulations, Boss Jiang! You've done an amazing job!"
Jiang Xi was of course very happy to be praised: "Hurry up and leave, don't delay things."
Qi Yu'an wiped his hands clean: "Okay, then I'll go first."
Qi Yu'an greeted everyone and also greeted the elders before leaving in a hurry.
Wu Yaqin and Chen Xiulian were busy for a long time. Chen Xiulian was old after all, and her waist was a little sore after being busy for so long. Wu Yaqin was massaging Chen Xiulian's waist. Seeing this, Jiang Xi went up and said, "Mom, Grandma, you two should go upstairs and have a nap. There's nothing to do today."
Unexpectedly, Wu Yaqin and Chen Xiulian were unwilling to sleep: "How come nothing happened? There is still the most important thing." Both of them had anticipation in their eyes.
Jiang Xi understood: "Okay, then I'll go get the things and we'll count them."
Since everyone present was his own, Jiang Xi did not shy away from talking. He took out the box containing money, which was full of coins and banknotes. It was very heavy and clanged.
The money in Jiang Xi's box was poured out and piled up on the table like a small mountain.
Wu Yaqin and Chen Xiulian's eyes widened, Xie Xiaoju's mouth opened wide, and even though Wu Youli had experienced the same baptism before, he was still surprised. Compared with the money he had earned from setting up stalls before, this pile of money was much more than what he had earned before.
Wu Yaoguo dropped the broom in his hand. He didn't react. Is this still a small county town? How can people in a small county town be so rich?
Qian Lili swallowed her saliva. There was so much money. Zhou Jiangang was speechless for a moment. It was really that the pile of money in front of him was too shocking. He had only seen it when the factory paid wages.
Jiang Xi was the only person present who remained calm: "Don't just stand there, let's count."
Everyone woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly grabbed a handful of money and counted it carefully. The pile of messy money was soon sorted out neatly.
Jiang Xi piled up all the money and said a number: "Wu Ji Zao Lu's first day's sales were 1,270 yuan!"
1270 yuan. Everyone's eyes were wide open. A serving of braised pork only costs a few yuan, but they sold 1270 yuan in one day.
Wu Youli almost didn't recognize the money anymore. He murmured: "Is this really just one day's turnover?"
Jiang Xi put the money in the bag, thinking that it was not safe to keep the money in the shop, so she had to deposit it in the bank.
"Yes, but this money can't all be counted as sales, because today is the first day of opening, which is a special situation. We also have a promotion, and we need to reduce the cost of the braised platters we give away. Basically, the sales should be around one thousand yuan."
Around one thousand yuan is a lot of money!
At this rate, people could hardly imagine it. This was just in Changfeng County. The turnover of Wu Ji Zao Lu exceeded everyone's cognition. In this era when the average salary was only thirty or forty yuan, just a small Zao Lu could sell so much money in a day.
Jiang Xi did not make a fuss like everyone else, but her hands were shaking as she counted the money. This was the first step to success, and she had to take it slow. Jiang Xi's ambitions were not limited to this one store.
That night, Jiang Xi and Wu Yaqin slept very soundly.
Because Xie Xiaoju was responsible for the management of the store and Ye Guifen gave birth to a boy, Xie Dazhu was overjoyed and there was less and less room for Xie Xiaoju at home.
Xie Xiaoju simply didn't go home and slept in the same room with Jiang Xi. At first she was very excited, but later she closed her eyes because she was too tired.
In the dream, Xie Xiaoju was brought to a mountain of money. Xie Xiaoju pounced on it and simply slept on the mountain. In the dream, Xie Xiaoju turned over comfortably, drooling and looking very satisfied.
Zhou Jiangang tossed and turned all night. He had long wanted to do business with Jiang Xi, but he was an employee of the steel plant, and this job was a rare iron rice bowl. If he quit his job to do business now, he would definitely be called a lunatic by others.
Zhou Jiangang is already quite eccentric. If he quits his job again, I will definitely beat him with a stick. However, the sales volume of Wu Ji Zao Lu today has dealt a huge blow to Zhou Jiangang.
The money he saves from working in a factory for a year may not be as much as he earns from doing business in a month.
Thanks to Jiang Xi's advice, Zhou Jiangang has a new goal in life. He went from eating and drinking leisurely alone to marrying a wife and taking her out to eat and drink together. All these things require a financial foundation. This wish cannot be realized by just working in the factory.
Zhou Jiangang stared until dawn. What should he do?
Although Wu Ji Zao Lu's sales in the following days were not as high as on the first day, they remained stable at around 800 to 900 yuan, which was quite good for a shop in a small county town.
Wu Ji Zao Lu became a hot topic in the county because of its decoration, the uniform clothing of its employees, and the support of articles in newspapers.
These days, people have very few entertainment options. Television and radio are entertainment that only rich people can enjoy. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a family with a TV to have neighbors running around to watch at a fixed time.
The opening of Wu Ji Zao Lu has become a new thing in this small county town. The decoration of Wu Ji Zao Lu is very different from that of other stores.
"The owner of that shop must be very rich, otherwise it's just a small shop, and he wouldn't mind the electricity consumption of turning on so many lights."
"And there's an entire wall of glass in the shop. Glass is so expensive these days. It's just a shabby shop. I wonder how much it cost to renovate it."
"It's not about money. Who can afford to buy so much glass these days? My window was broken a few days ago and I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy glass. I only wanted a small piece, but they told me I had to queue up."
"The glass thing is a small matter. Didn't you see that the owner of Shiquan Pavilion and the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau were here that day? It was a huge incident."
…
Other shop owners had also come to see Wu Ji Zao Lu. Jiang Xi was not afraid of others seeing him when he opened his shop. Besides, no one could stop them. Anyway, the core of Wu Ji Zao Lu was the taste of the Zao Lu and the insistence on hygiene and quality. These things could not be learned by others.
The other bosses were originally eager to decorate their shops like that, but when they got home and thought about how much money it would cost, although everyone was envious, most of them were reluctant to spend so much money. They only had the thought for a moment and then gave up.
Wu Ji Zao Lu is still bustling. On the first day of business, everyone didn’t cooperate very well, and since they had no experience in running a shop, they were inevitably in a mess. But afterwards, everyone cooperated better and better, and gained more and more experience. We didn’t need a lot of manpower to run the shop well.
