After obtaining the business license, Xia Baozhu set the official opening date of the new store for October 1st, with the last three days of September serving as a trial operation.
For the new store, she first sent San Gou, Jia Hongying, and Xia Laidi over.
The old shop is good enough with Zheng Zhenhao, Li Jinlong, Chen Wenbin, and Liu Guangjun.
After all, the seasonings and side dishes are prepared in advance every morning. The rest is just washing, marinating, deboning, coating with flour, and frying, which is much simpler.
As for the preparation of the three sauces, San Gou prepared them the night before and refrigerated them.
He was the only one who knew how to make the sauce.
Making sauces is actually very simple. For example, salad dressing: one egg, 1g salt, 30g sugar, 30g milk powder, 20g white vinegar, and 150g corn oil.
It requires constant stirring and is physically demanding.
If you want to make more, you need to double the amount of each ingredient.
The recipes for mayonnaise and salad dressing are similar, the difference being that mayonnaise uses only egg yolks and does not contain milk powder.
Xia Laidi learned from the kitchen staff and became very fast and good at deboning, and she was also very skilled at making caramel and pearls.
Because she was used to doing kitchen work since she was a child, she could easily get the hang of it with just a little guidance.
He's far better than Liu Guangjun, who's still stuck at the level of piercing chicken meat and learning how to cut chicken strips.
Chen Wenbin didn't let him rest either; he worked non-stop from morning till night, except for mealtimes.
Xia Laidi actively sought out work, especially after she started earning a salary. Xia Baozhu encouraged her to open a savings account and deposit her own money, which further motivated her.
Xia Baozhu was quite satisfied with the two new employees who came to her door, but she was even more satisfied with Chen Wenbin.
He's perfect for being a store manager; he's ruthless, doesn't talk much, and is very capable.
He doesn't talk much, but that doesn't mean he's prone to offending people; on the contrary, he's very good at speaking.
It's a waste of talent for someone like him to work as a henchman for He Fuming.
The new store also has a telephone. Although it's expensive, it's convenient because you don't have to run back and forth when you need something.
This time, the menu prices were placed above the counter, with the same layout as the counter below. A 50-centimeter-wide wooden panel was installed around the counter for displaying posters and menus.
Based on the original menu of the old store, Xia Baozhu introduced a set meal system, which uses the most common staple food + snacks + drinks.
It saves customers time in choosing items and is also a little cheaper than buying them individually.
Xia Baozhu wanted to launch hamburgers, since they were a novelty here, so she found a food processing plant in the city to make the bread dough.
They sent someone to Beijing to try and make bread that tasted similar to that of hamburger shops.
As soon as Xia Baozhu's shop opened, customers came in, including An Yuesheng and his newlywed wife Luo Manlan.
Upon hearing the news of their recent marriage, Xia Baozhu even waived the bill for An Yuesheng and his wife.
Romain Lan's attitude was much better than before, not because Xia Baozhu gave them a free meal, but because she dared to jump into the flood to plug the breach.
When their teachers talked about it, they all felt that Xia Baozhu had a chivalrous spirit, much like the kind of female knight-errant in martial arts novels who hides in plain sight and disappears after accomplishing her task.
Beautiful, landlady, divorced, model, female knight-errant—putting these words together can instantly conjure up all sorts of erotic fantasies in a man's mind.
But she possesses a unique aloofness that lends the words above an aura of purity.
Just like the fashion photos she takes, they can be fresh, bright, aloof, or sharp, but they are never vulgar.
A beautiful female teacher at their school took a magazine to a shopping mall, bought the same clothes, and then went to a photography studio to have her picture taken.
Although it looks alright, it always feels like something is missing when you take the picture.
Of course, the teachers all said it looked good, almost like the pictures in the magazine, which made the pretty female teacher beam with joy.
Even the thick long dress Romain Rolland wore was bought based on the new styles in an autumn fashion magazine.
Xia Baozhu wore black in the magazine, so she chose a red one, which looked just as good.
Plus, she had just gotten married, so the red dress was a perfect fit for her and added to the festive atmosphere.
The shop gradually filled up with people. Apart from a few who were in a hurry, most of them sat at the tables, leisurely drinking milk tea, eating food, and chatting with people nearby.
Xia Baozhu observed that people at this time were quite outgoing and could chat for a while after just a greeting, regardless of whether they had met before or not.
The store became increasingly crowded, and newcomers didn't care whether there were people around them or not, they just sat down in empty seats.
It's as bustling as a vegetable market right now.
Some people even came specifically to experience the restrooms. Upon seeing the signs reminding them to flush after using the toilet and keep it clean, they not only flushed but also used a mop to clean up their footprints.
When he went outside and told others about it, they all praised him for doing a good job.
From then on, it became a common practice in Xia Baozhu's shop to clean the restrooms after using them.
Xia Baozhu didn't explain after she found out; it's certainly a good thing that customers consciously maintain hygiene.
The trial operation lasted until 8 p.m. on the first day. Xia Baozhu counted the money and found that the income was 657.5 yuan. After deducting labor, water and electricity costs, the net profit was 200 yuan.
If things continue like this, I can earn six thousand yuan a month and recoup the cost of buying a house in a year.
Of course, the above is the best-case scenario. Even if it's half as much, it's still three thousand, which is acceptable.
We can't let her earn all the money by herself.
Xia Baozhu was not greedy.
With the old shop included, making 100,000 yuan a year shouldn't be a problem. By the end of the year, she hopes to bring Sun Xingyan's savings back to 100,000 yuan.
The three-day trial operation went very well, and the store officially opened on October 1st. People from the original store came to help, and Xia Baozhu held a 10% discount event on the first day.
It's not that she's stingy, but with this 10% discount, her net profit could evaporate by more than half.
