Chapter 68 Chapter 68 The Shiqing Time Food Stall Finally Opens...
Su Tianli watched with her own eyes as Su Youzi was carried onto a vehicle bound for Tibet and Xinjiang.
After watching the car drive away, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She is really happy.
This time, she really got rid of Tian Xiu and Su Youzi!
Then next——
She is about to deal with He Wanqian.
However, the most urgent thing is to make good money during the holidays!
It was just like what Su Tianli had read before, "Rebirth of the 1970s Delicate Beauty",
Maybe Guangdong will indeed become the forefront of reform and opening up in the future!
It is still 1978, but the government is taking a blind eye attitude towards the night markets.
These days are public holidays, so the government simply organized a five-day "National Day Farmers' Trade Fair" in Dadadi!
The venue is designed and allocated by the government, and water and electricity are provided uniformly. If vendors want to participate, they have to register and pay the fees.
The cost is not low, the snack stand is 15 yuan a day, and the area is a fixed stall that is four meters long and three meters wide.
Most of the vendors who had set up stalls in the big place were cursing.
There is no special reason, I just don’t want to pay!
And on this fifteenth day...
Isn’t it too expensive?
Five days in a row, that’s seventy-five!
It would be so hard and difficult to earn back the seventy-five dollars!
Most vendors stuck their necks out and shouted that they would not pay or set up their stalls!
At worst, they can take a holiday and come back after these five days.
Wonton Brother is one of the representatives.
Su Tianli's friends also felt that the amount of money was too much and a bit unbearable, so they hurried back to discuss it with Su Tianli.
Su Tianli heard it?
God!
The government is chasing us and feeding us!
She immediately agreed and even rented two stalls with her deep pockets!
All the friends were stunned at that time.
Two stalls?
That's one hundred and fifty...
Oh my God!
You know, with our current sales volume, we can only earn a net profit of 150 yuan a week.
Everyone was a little uneasy.
When Wonton Brother heard about it, he came over to make fun of Su Tianli.
Su Tianli was also familiar with him, so she smiled and said, "Brother, how about this? You also spend 75 to rent a stall. If you think it's too expensive, I'll pay half for you, 37.5 yuan."
"Then I will guarantee you that in these five days, your net profit will exceed thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents every day!"
"If you don't exceed the limit, I don't need to pay the $37.50 booth fee for you!"
"If you exceed the limit every day, then your net profit will be reduced by 37.5 yuan, and the rest will be split between us! And after five days, you will return half of the 37.5 yuan you paid me for the booth..."
"What do you think?" Su Tianli asked with a smile.
When Wonton Brother heard this?
This means he spent half of the money, which is 37.5 yuan, to rent a stall for seven days.
Then Su Tianli guaranteed that he would have a net profit of thirty-seven and a half yuan every day?
In other words, Su Tianli guaranteed that he could earn five thirty-seven yuan in seven days, which is... one hundred and eighty-seven and a half yuan!
Su Tianli will only share the excess profits with him?
Oh, wait!
Su Tianli also said that if his daily profit exceeded thirty-seven dollars and a half, he would have to pay her half of the thirty-seven dollars and a half for the stall fee after five days.
Wonton Brother thought about it all night.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was not at a disadvantage.
So he agreed to Su Tianli's request.
In this way, Su Tianli and Wonton Brother represented the most typical ideas of the two groups of people at that time.
Some people secretly decided that they would have to pay to get a booth that they couldn't reach, so they could just take advantage of the traffic outside the venue.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who decide to rent a stall with two or three people, or who really don’t have that much money and only plan to rent it for one or two days…
Just like that, the public holiday arrived as expected amid everyone's anticipation.
The "Agricultural Trade Fair" also officially opened.
To put it bluntly, this farmers' fair is just a market in disguise.
They are basically all the small stalls that are usually set up at the Dadadi night market.
It’s just that the Dadadi Night Market used to be unorganized and undisciplined, relying entirely on the small vendors to set up their stalls along the way;
Then the street thugs who collect protection fees will maintain order...
Now, the location of the stall is still the same as before.
but!
Officials divided the ground into areas and painted small square grids with white lime;
One grid is a stall.
At the same time, the authorities also arranged for the street, neighborhood committee, and public security personnel to set up a cordon and require the people who came to visit the farmers' fair to enter from the entrance and leave from the exit...
Moreover, when drawing lines for all the stalls at the farmers' fair, the authorities should have considered the routes for people to enter and leave the fair.
Not only was the route for the public to enter considered when the stalls were divided;
In addition, the authorities also sent special personnel to guard the scene and guide the people in a timely manner.
So, when the farmers' fair started,
Su Tianli’s “Picking Green Time” food stall welcomed its first business.
Yes, Su Tianli gave her stall a name.
Pick up, pick up the memories,
Qing means educated youth who went to the countryside.
The phrase "picking up green time" means to remember and reminisce the days when we went to the countryside to work as educated youth.
So the first people to come and patronize the business were two young girls.
The two girls looked up in surprise at the four big characters "拾青时光" hanging on the stall.
I looked at the various delicacies on the stalls.
Finally, he looked at Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu and asked curiously, "What does Picking Green Time mean?"
Su Tianli explained with a smile.
When the two girls heard this, they were so excited, "Oh, we are also educated youth who just returned to the city!"
Educated youth met educated youth,
Everybody was a little excited.
The two girls quickly sat down and ordered a lot of food.
Yes.
When Su Tianli first urged to rent a stall, everyone thought it was too expensive.
She paid the money despite all objections.
Everyone knows,
——It turns out that the government not only takes care of the water and electricity, but also provides uniform tables and chairs. Of course, these tables and chairs are also rented out to small vendors by the government mobilizing nearby residents. The vendors do not need to pay the rent, as it is directly deducted from the 75 yuan stall fee!
——It turns out that the government is in charge of garbage collection! In front of each food stall there is a large bamboo basket and a swill bucket. As soon as the pile is full, someone will come to take it away and replace it with an empty one.
When Yao Meiyu was arranging the tables and chairs the day before, she also asked the staff who were maintaining order on the scene. In the past, except for the ten years before the Chinese New Year, the government did not suppress market stalls, but at other times, stalls were not allowed.
Why is this year so good that the government has taken the initiative to make arrangements?
Most of the staff shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Several people also said: This is a requirement from above, saying that it is a one-time trial and data needs to be registered.
Yao Meiyu asked again, what kind of data do you want to collect?
Those people said they didn’t know.
Yao Meiyu continued, "It's very hard for you to do this. You only have three days of vacation, plus one weekend and one compensatory day off... That means you have to work overtime for five days!"
A few people whispered: "Except for the police who have to come to maintain order, we are all here voluntarily... The company gave us overtime pay, which is quite a lot."
So Yao Meiyu turned around and asked Su Tianli, "Lizhi, tell me, what are they doing up there?"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "I don't know either."
Of course she knows.
Because when I signed the stall rental contract with the official, it was written in the contract: Anyone who rents a stall must truthfully report the sales amount after the event.
Su Tianli thought that the government probably wanted to estimate the public's consumption index.
Anyway,
When Su Tianli decided to spend money to rent a stall, her friends thought it was too expensive;
But the day before, when everyone accepted the official dispatch and arrangements, rehearsed and prepared in advance,
Everyone just realized that the authorities have done so much for everyone? !
Wow, that's pretty good!
Take the Shiqing Time food stall for example.
Su Tianli rented two stalls at once and divided the staff into four shifts:
We work in two shifts on site and at home on Shaou Street!
——Because this stall is open 24 hours a day.
Of course, if the staff is divided into four shifts, it will definitely not be enough.
So Su Tianli called Su Dejun and Su Tiancai over.
Yao Meiyu called her parents, brother and sister-in-law to come over.
Mao Li and Zhang Wei had almost severed ties with their families, so they didn’t call their family members, but each called a few friends to come and help…
There were about seventeen or eighteen people gathered together.
Then everyone agreed: the older people would work the day shift and the younger people would work the night shift.
So those working the day shift on site today are Yao Meiyu's family and Su Tianli.
Su Tianli introduced the delicacies in the store to the two female educated youths. "We have scallion pancakes from Jiangxi, rice noodles with minced pork and chopped peppers from Hunan, pork and green onion dumplings from Northeast China, noodles with duck soup from Fujian, and sweet rice wine and boiled eggs from Hubei... We have everything!"
When the two educated youth heard this, they were about to burst into tears. One of them said, "Yes, yes, yes, that's how it is when you go to the countryside to work in the fields. People in a large collective come from all corners of the country. There are people from all over the country!"
Su Tianli also smiled, "Classmates, then I recommend you try the scallion pancake! This is the signature delicacy of our Shiqing Shiguang snack stall!"
Another female educated youth couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, "When you call me 'classmate'..." and her voice choked with sobs.
Finally, they ordered a bowl of rice noodles with minced meat and chopped peppers, a bowl of vermicelli noodles in duck soup, two scallion pancakes and two skewers of mini candied haws.
If there is one, there will be two.
When someone makes a pattern on the spot, others will follow suit.
Besides, Su Tianli’s stall is the largest one on site!
She rented two!
Moreover, yesterday, Su Tianli had gathered everyone together and rehearsed in advance.
She requires at least five people to work together:
One person sings and recommends,
One person collects money and gives change.
Two people are responsible for cooking.
One person is responsible for the mobile waiter, that is, doing odd jobs,
The five types of work cooperate with each other.
Soon, the Shiqingshiguang food stall attracted the attention of the crowd with its large stall and wide variety of snacks.
But it's only nine in the morning.
Just over an hour had passed since the farmers' fair began.
Su Tianli and her friends were so busy that they had no time to rest!
until--
Su Tianli, who was in charge of serving food, smiled and said to the young girl who had been standing in front of her stall for a long time, "Hello, comrade, is there anything you would like to eat?"
Then, Su Tianli realized that
The young girl in front of me is He Wanqian!
Um?
What is going on?
Recently, Su Tianli has been busy dealing with Su Youzi.
I don't care about He Wanqian at all.
She only knew that He Wanqian was worried about Fu Yan - the last time Fu Yan beat Cheng Yu, the matter had not been resolved yet!
Later, Su Tianli took Cheng Yu to the police station to report the case - He Wanqian spread rumors about child swapping!
So He Wanqian definitely couldn't get away either.
However, Su Tianli never expected that He Wanqian would become like this in such a short time.
She was thin, pale, and lifeless, but with dark circles under her eyes;
Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her cheeks were sunken, and the nasolabial lines at the corners of her mouth were particularly prominent.
She is only 22 years old.
Judging from her temperament, she looks like a middle-aged woman in her forties who is experiencing a difficult life!
At this time, He Wanqian was also looking at Su Tianli with shock.
She has been extremely depressed lately.
Her father felt sorry for her and gave her some money so that she could go shopping, relax and see the excitement...
Then! ! !
She heard that there was a very large restaurant here with a lot of food, so she came here.
Unexpectedly, she saw Su Tianli at first sight!
Not only did she see Su Tianli, she also saw Yao Meiyu, as well as Yao Xingang and his wife who were cooking noodles with a colander and long chopsticks, and Yao Meiyu's brother who was collecting money!
He Wanqian even heard Su Tianli introduce the meaning of the four words "Picking Green Time"
Although He Wanqian was unwilling to believe it,
But she still realized that this prosperous and respectable shop belonged to Su Tianli!
He Wanqian clenched her fists.
