Chapter 434 Being Targeted by Envy
The next day, as Shen Qingjiang Xiangbei had expected, business was even better than the first day.
As soon as the door opened at 4:15 PM, there were people waiting to come in. At lunchtime, the place was completely packed. In the afternoon, the business continued uninterruptedly. It was so popular that even passers-by would look at it sideways.
After the first three days, the giveaway ended, but the sales of cream egg cakes increased instead of decreasing!
Liu Cuihua, Jiang Yu and Guan Li were originally just helping out temporarily, so they could only take over in this situation.
Shen Qing approached Su Mu and said, "They will take care of this place first. You have to go back to Chenzhou."
Su Mu had a general understanding of the business over the past six or seven days, and immediately realized what was happening. He asked, "Are you going to increase the supply of beef and mutton?"
Several batches have been delivered before, and it seems that they are not enough according to the current business volume. However, it would be better to send more. More is always safer than less. Besides, my aunt has a farm, so she doesn't have to worry about having no place to keep the cattle and sheep.
Shen Qing smiled and said, "If it's just cattle and sheep, just send a few people over to convey it. The pastry shop is short of staff, so you need to go back and select people yourself."
Su Mu had been making egg cakes for several days and was familiar with the process. She knew what kind of personality and abilities were suitable for the pastry shop, and she was the one who selected the most suitable person.
Hearing about the increase in manpower, Su Mu's face showed obvious joy. He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Okay, Auntie, how many more do you want?"
"Twelve." Shen Qing said directly.
Su Mu was stunned. Twelve at once? So many? One person could earn 600 wen, enough to support a whole family. Twelve people meant twelve families wouldn't have to suffer from hunger and cold!
But, she said blankly: "But, there are already so many people in the pastry shop..."
Shen Qing explained: "Xiaoyu, Ali and the other two are just here to help temporarily and won't be in the pastry shop for long. Isn't that the case with you too?
That's four people missing, and now you're all busy like spinning tops from morning till night, your bodies can't handle it in the long run, so we need to recruit a few more people to fill in the gaps and take turns to rest."
What she didn't say was that this was just the beginning. According to her estimation, the market penetration of cream egg cake in Beijing was only a drop in the bucket at present!
With a baking team of sixteen people, the output will definitely increase several times compared to now, and they should be able to cope with it.
Seeing that Shen Qing had even thought about the rotation and rest, Su Mu responded cheerfully: "Okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning!"
She had a horse, and she traveled day and night, arriving in Chenzhou from the capital in just a few days.
Shen Qing and Su Mu instructed the people to be selected and the goods to be transported. Suddenly, Shen Qing thought of something and added, "Oh, and there's also chive sauce. See if there's any left elsewhere. Try to get as much as you can!"
Su Mu raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Wasn't what was sent before enough?"
At the beginning of the year, my aunt asked her to go home and ask someone to make more chive flower sauce for her to buy. She made over a hundred kilograms! How could it not be enough?
But the chive sauce is too salty and can’t be eaten as a meal.
Shen Qing expressed her thoughts: "If it were all used in the store, it would definitely be enough, but yesterday a customer asked about the price of chive flower sauce and wanted to buy some to go with other dishes;
I think this is an opportunity. If I collect more and sell it, it will also provide income for the people in the pastoral areas, right?"
Su Mu's eyebrows lit up and he thanked her hurriedly: "Aunt, you are right! I will buy them when I get back. Don't worry, all the unsold ones will belong to me, and you don't have to pay any money to lose money."
When it comes to business, you still have to rely on your aunt. She has a very active mind, so why can't she think of these things?
Shen Qing said indifferently: "It's okay, I won't lose money. I've observed that chive flower sauce and sesame sauce are equally popular. It's not a choice between the two, but both at the same time."
I think it’s because the chives have a little bit of spiciness, which can relieve the greasiness very well.
If there are any extras after selling them, she will buy a batch of small jars and give them as New Year gifts to old customers, so that there will be no waste.
The admiration and respect in Su Mu's eyes were almost overflowing.
Shen Qing is really amazing. He can sell beef, mutton, milk, and even chive sauce. He also recruits workers from them. Not only can he arrange work for the men, he can even find suitable livelihoods for the girls!
And this business is no worse than that of men in any way!
If she could be half as good as Shen Qing, no, half of half, then the ranch herders wouldn't have to worry about their livelihoods...
After Shen Qing and Su Mu finished their explanation, they turned to look for Jiang Xiangbei.
Jiang Xiangbei came over with a happy face and reported the progress happily: "Mom, the spicy hot pot is almost ready. What date do you think we should choose to open it?"
The waiters here have had a few days of adaptation and have become more and more skilled. The manager, accountant, and purchasing are all in their own hands, so they don't have to worry too much and can concentrate on preparing the spicy hot pot shop.
Shen Qing reported a date: "The 28th."
This place has been open for ten days, and the spicy hotpot is a good opportunity for old customers to change their taste.
"Okay! Then I'll go over there and keep an eye on it first." Jiang Xiangbei wanted to go out excitedly.
The store will open in three or four days, so he has to prepare in advance!
If you prepare early and open on time, you can make money one day earlier. My mother said that winter is the peak season for hot pot, and it would be good if we don’t lose money by summer, so we can’t delay for a day. If we delay for a day, we will lose a lot of money!
Just as Shen Qing was about to say let's go, he heard a commotion coming from the front hall.
The noise was mixed with insults, and Shen Qingjiang and Xiangbei frowned at the same time.
The two of them hurried to the front hall.
I saw a few big men with fat faces shouting loudly: "Everyone, come and see! The food in this store is not clean, it will kill you~"
"We had good intentions to support his family's business, but after eating it, my brother broke out in cold sweats and convulsed all over his body. When he was taken to the clinic, the doctor told him to prepare for his funeral!
"Everyone, tell me, is this store to blame? Do they need an explanation?"
"I advise everyone to be careful! This novel food might contain some evil magic. Your life is at stake. Don't be fooled and lose your life!"
.....
When Shen Qing looked over, he saw a bed on the ground, with a person obviously lying on it, covered with a white cloth.
Covered from head to toe, it doesn't look like the doctor is saying he's dying, but rather that he's already dead! It's clearly meant to make people think he's dead!
"You're talking nonsense! We have dozens or even hundreds of tables a day and nothing happens to them, so why did you have to get into trouble?"
"We're just eating it in a new way, the ingredients are the same, aren't they? What kind of witchcraft is this? You're talking nonsense!"
"What are you bringing people here for? And why are you covering it like this? You're clearly jealous of our booming business and are here to cause trouble!"
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He had previously trained his employees on emergency plans for dealing with crisis situations, and he didn't expect them to come in handy so soon.
At the same time, he was wary and thought that the hot pot restaurant had only been open for a few days, but it had already been targeted by people.
