Chapter 84 Chapter 84 New Market
Because Kunzi had to help deliver goods today, he came directly from the county town to Liangshui Village. Without any means of transportation, Kunzi picked up a load. He was strong, so carrying a load was not a big deal for him.
Jiang Xi pointed at the packaged braised pork and said to Kunzi, "Kunzi, over there are the goods that need to be delivered to various locations today. I've already packed them all, and detailed information is written on each bag. I'll show you around today. Once you're familiar with it, you can deliver the goods yourself. Remember to fill out a form when you do."
Kunzi nodded. Although he was taciturn, he was very careful and read every piece of paper carefully. "I know. I won't make a mistake."
The salary Jiang Xi gives is the highest salary Kunzi can get, and Kunzi cherishes this job very much.
Xie Xiaoju looked at Kunzi secretly and couldn't help swallowing. This new friend was really scary.
Xie Xiaoju didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that a disagreement would make Kunzi unhappy. Kunzi's fist was so big that he could definitely knock her down with one punch.
Xie Xiaoju was silently preparing to move the car out, but unexpectedly the handlebars were held down. Xie Xiaoju looked up in surprise and saw Kunzi's dark face.
Xie Xiaoju couldn't help swallowing her saliva and stuttered: "Kun, Kun, Kunzi, what are you doing?"
Kunzi said expressionlessly: "I'll help you lift the car out so it will be easier to push."
Xie Xiaoju breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Kunzi lifting the heavy bicycle with one hand effortlessly, Xie Xiaoju was envious. He was so strong. No wonder Jiang Xi asked him to deliver the goods.
Although Kunzi looked fierce, he was unexpectedly quite enthusiastic. Xie Xiaoju had a better impression of this new colleague.
After arriving at the county town, the group split into two groups. Xie Xiaoju set up a stall in front of the cinema, and Jiang Xi took Kunzi to deliver goods. Their first stop was Shiquan Pavilion.
Chef Liu was very enthusiastic towards them, and the person in charge of purchasing received the goods skillfully, obviously having been informed in advance.
Jiang Xi took Kunzi and the buyer to check the accounts in detail: "This is the braised pork you ordered. I have already sorted it into categories. Please count it."
The buyer opened the bags and looked at them one by one. The marinated food was neatly packed and there was a note on it, which clearly stated the quantity, type, and even when it was produced.
The buyer smiled and said, "You are very careful in your work. It saves me a lot of trouble." This was said with sincerity. The buyer was also helping others. If the partner could save him some effort, he would naturally like it.
Jiang Xi: "Well, it's convenient for you and for us. Since we want to cooperate, of course I want to do things to perfection."
The buyer nodded and said, "You're right. After we've done the inventory, with a boss as attentive as you, we're sure all the spoils will be sold."
Jiang Xi: "Then I'll borrow your good words."
When Jiang Xi was talking to the buyer, Kunzi kept watching the buyer's movements. Although he was not good at speaking, when the buyer wrote down the quantity, he would check the quantity written by Jiang Xi in his mind.
Finding that the buyer hadn't counted the correct amount, Kunzi reminded him, "Comrade, we brought 30 servings of braised chicken today. You forgot one."
The buyer uttered an "ouch" and counted again, realizing one was missing. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "I might have been too busy talking just now and missed one. Thank you for reminding me. I'll make a note of it now."
Jiang Xi: "It's okay. People always make mistakes. As long as the final number is correct, it's fine. This is our first time working together, so it's inevitable that we're a little unfamiliar. But as we work together more often, we'll get used to it."
Jiang Xi didn't think that the buyer had deliberately given her a smaller portion, and Shiquan Pavilion was not such an unprincipled restaurant. However, Kunzi surprised Jiang Xi. Although he looked quiet, he was very attentive and would cooperate with her without making a sound.
If Jiang Xi, as the boss, brought up the issue of missing a portion of braised pork, it would seem a bit fussy, but since Kunzi brought it up, it was natural and Jiang Xi could also ease the situation and resolve the matter satisfactorily.
Jiang Xi smiled at Kunzi. She just felt sorry for Kunzi at first. Yaer's experience reminded Jiang Xi of Nuoer. Unexpectedly, she picked up a treasure by accident. Jiang Xi needed people at that time. The more capable her subordinates were, the happier she was.
Chen Guangfa showed Jiang Xi the menu and said, "Look, Wu's Braised Pork Belly is now on the menu at Shiquan Pavilion."
Jiang Xi took the menu and opened it. Sure enough, the braised dish platter had been added to the menu with a photo. It was a few pages after the special dishes, which was a pretty good position.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
Chen Guangfa: "You're welcome. Your food is great, and the suggestions you made are also very good. Our boss praised you during the morning meeting, saying that now is different from the past and that running a restaurant requires new ideas. He also called on everyone to learn from you."
Jiang Xi: "I also came up with this idea based on the situation at Shiquan Pavilion. I still have a lot to learn from you, Uncle Chen."
Although he knew that Jiang Xi was being modest on purpose, Chen Guangfa still appreciated it. Normal people like to hear good words, especially when they are spoken by a very capable person.
Jiang Xi continued to ask, "Uncle Chen, I saw the stainless steel vat you use to cook broth in the kitchen. Where did you buy it?"
At present, Wu Ji Zao Lu still uses jars, which are not only heavy but also can only hold a small amount of things and take up a lot of space.
If Jiang Xi wants to open a store in the future and supply goods to so many channels, using jars to pickle the marinated food will be too inefficient. When Jiang Xi saw the large stainless steel barrels in the kitchen of Shiquan Pavilion, he thought to himself that it would be more efficient to use such barrels to pickle the marinated food in the future.
Chen Guangfa: "This bucket was brought back by our boss from the city. I think it should be sold in the city. You can go and ask."
Jiang Xi: "Okay, I'll go ask when I have time later." As he spoke, Jiang Xi took out the things he brought.
"Uncle Chen, please accept this little gift. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Chen Guangfa saw that it was a bag of brown sugar, about two kilograms. Although he could afford it, he still felt that Jiang Xi was a good person, generous and good at talking.
Chen Guangfa happily took it and said, "Then I'll accept it. You and Jiangang are friends, and you are also my friends. We don't have to be so polite in the future."
Because he had accepted Jiang Xi's things, Chen Guangfa gave him a few more suggestions: "You can chat with the waiters in the restaurant and ask them to recommend some braised pork stews for you."
Jiang Xi nodded: "Thank you Uncle Chen for the reminder, I was just looking for them."
Jiang Xi had thought about it early on. Since he was going to sell braised pork in Shiquan Pavilion, whether the waiters would recommend it would have a certain impact on its sales.
If they help promote the braised food, more sales can be made. At the very least, it can play a certain role in publicity. So don't underestimate the waiters in the restaurant. You will get a lot of benefits by building a good relationship with them.
There are three waiters in Shiquan Pavilion. It is not yet time for dinner, and several waiters are sitting at a table chatting.
Shiquan Pavilion does a very good job in this regard. They do not require staff to pretend to be busy when there is nothing to do. They can rest when there is nothing to do, but once there are guests, everyone must be fully alert.
Jiang Xi saw and remembered this management model with a balance between relaxation and tension. As a fledgling entrepreneur, she did not feel proud of her small achievements. Instead, she continued to absorb new things that would be beneficial to her growth for future use.
Jiang Xi walked over and said with a smile on his face, "Hello, I'm Jiang Xi. My braised pork will be sold at Shiquan Pavilion soon. Please take care of it."
Several waiters nodded symbolically. They knew about this matter. The store even made a new menu and the boss also mentioned it. Several waiters believed that Jiang Xi must have some relationship with the boss, so when Jiang Xi came to talk to them, they were all quite nice.
Jiang Xi took out the things he had prepared in advance from his bag and said, "Comrades, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. When you receive guests, please say a few good words for our Wu Ji Zao Lu restaurant."
Several waiters were surprised. They thought Jiang Xi just came to say hello to them, but they didn't expect that he actually gave them gifts.
The thing in his hand was heavy, a bag of brown sugar weighing about one kilogram. It was a good thing. They had low wages and brown sugar was an absolute luxury for them. They couldn't even afford to buy it for themselves, but now they received it as a gift. How could they not be happy?
Receiving such a thoughtful gift, the waiters smiled even more deeply and spoke with sincerity: "Don't worry, we will definitely help you find someone!"
After dealing with the matter of Shiquan Pavilion, Jiang Xi took Kunzi to the steel plant’s staff quarters to deliver goods. As for Zhou Jiangang, Jiang Xi asked Kunzi to go by himself, since they knew each other anyway.
Jiang Xi took Kunzi for a run. Although Kunzi was taciturn, he was thoughtful and his performance made Jiang Xi very satisfied. After Jiang Xi settled Kunzi down, he went to the entrance of the cinema.
Xie Xiaoju was greeting customers alone. From her expression and movements, it can be seen that she is now very skilled in selling things.
"My zao lu is so delicious that many people come to buy it every day. If you come too late, it will be gone."
Xie Xiaoju spoke in a soft voice with a smile on her face as she introduced the food to the guests while letting them taste it.
The people who were introduced to it were a little hesitant at first, but after tasting it, they each bought two servings of zao lu.
Xie Xiaoju said as she found the money, "Welcome to come again next time."
At this moment, she saw Jiang Xi. Xie Xiaoju was surprised: "Jiang Xi, you are here!"
Jiang Xi walked over with a smile: "How are the sales?"
Xie Xiaoju raised her eyebrows proudly: "It's selling quite well. I brought over 300 copies today, and there are still over 200 copies left. As more people come, they will be sold out soon."
Xie Xiaoju now enjoys setting up a stall more and more. Not only can she make money, she can also control her own time and does not have to suffer the bullying at home. Setting up a stall is simply a good job for her.
