After doing the math, she realized that today's profit, even with a 20% discount, was as high as 60 yuan. If she could maintain 30 yuan a day in the future, she would be satisfied.
Nine hundred yuan a month, minus three hundred yuan in costs, I hired two aunties to work in the kitchen to cook spicy hot pot, fifty-five yuan a month, plus the salary of Dazhuang's mother, minus one hundred and fifty yuan, there is still four hundred and fifty yuan left. After cutting out the water, electricity and other miscellaneous expenses, I have four hundred yuan a month. I have paid back my investment in a year, and I can make a lot of money even more. I can open a branch in the second year.
Afterwards, around nine o'clock, a few more people came, but not many. Qin Man thought that it would be time to close at nine o'clock. There was no need to stay until ten o'clock, which would be too long.
Jiang Cong was gone for more than an hour and then came back to pick up Qin Man. The two waited until the last customer in the restaurant finished eating before they cleaned up, turned off the fire, and went home together.
When I got home, I washed the two kids first, put them to bed, and then washed myself.
Perhaps because she was tired after a long day, Qin Man fell asleep as soon as she got into bed and slept until dawn.
The business doesn't open until nine o'clock. Jiang Cong first sends the children to kindergarten and then goes to work.
Qin Man got up slowly, packed up, ate the breakfast prepared by her husband, and walked to the store to work and do the opening work. Dazhuang's mother arrived later than her because she had to send the children to school.
The two of them first did the work of opening the market. They had already agreed with the auntie at the vegetable market to deliver fresh vegetables to Qin Man every morning.
Qin Man skewered the fish. She changed the marinade every three days, so there was no need to add salt today.
She bought pork and offal from several pig merchants, so they also gave Qin Man benefits and gave her one or two leg bones with little meat. She used them to make the base of the soup, and then used one pot for cooking and the other pot as the soup base.
She bought some dried chili powder and made chili oil, as well as a range of other seasonings, which tasted delicious.
Before Dazhuang's mother had time to eat breakfast, Qin Man cooked her a bowl of spicy hot pot.
After eating it, she gave it a thumbs up and praised it.
"Manman, your spicy hot pot tastes really good. I was out there yesterday and it got a great response. When we closed the shop, there was almost nothing left. The customers all said it was delicious!"
Qin Man was writing a recruitment notice with a marker at the time, and just smiled knowingly when she heard this.
"I plan to hire two aunties to cook spicy hot pot in the back kitchen. I will be in charge of the outside affairs with you in the future, and the closing time will be adjusted to 9pm!"
"Of course, if business is so good, we do have to hire people, but I think, judging from what happened yesterday, our business will not be bad in the future!"
Dazhuang's mother had a hunch that Qinman's store would become more and more prosperous. After all, there was no store like it in the city, and the store was in a good location, so there would be no worries about lack of business.
"I hope so. We don't expect it to be very popular. As long as we don't lose money, that's fine. The purpose of opening a store is to make long-term profits, don't you think?"
Dazhuang's mother nodded in approval:
"You're right. As long as there's no loss, any profit is a good thing. Over time, you'll see the benefits!"
Qin Man's recruitment notice reads:
Our store is recruiting two kitchen aunties. Those with rich kitchen experience are preferred. Salary is negotiable and you can start work at any time!
She posted the paper in a conspicuous place at the door, and after a while, someone looking for a job came to ask about it.
"Hello, welcome!" Dazhuang's mother greeted the visitor.
The visitors were a middle-aged couple who looked to be in their 50s. The man even had a slight limp!
"Hey, pretty lady, I saw you had a job posting outside your store, so I wanted to ask, do you still need anyone?"
Qin Man heard the voice and came out from the back kitchen:
"Yes, of course I do. I just posted the job posting!
Excuse me, are you looking for a job?
The aunt nodded and smiled very kindly.
"Yes, I saw that you wrote that you were looking for an auntie, and I thought my age was suitable. You also said that those with cooking experience would be preferred. I used to work as a kitchen helper in a big hotel. Do you think I can do it?"
"Of course you can. I just said priority. It doesn't matter if you have no experience. You can come and try. My job here is very simple. It's just cooking. It's easy to get started!"
Qin Man had a good impression of this auntie. She looked kind and spoke politely.
After hearing this, the aunt smiled in surprise. She had been looking for a job for several days but still hadn't found one!
"Well, do you guys have a monthly salary of 40 yuan?"
"Of course I have, I'm fifty-one months old!" Qin Man replied with a smile.
This time, both the couple showed surprised smiles, and there was an expression of hope on their faces.
It seems that this auntie is in urgent need of a job!
"Then can I come to work? I can start working today. I am good at my job and I will definitely make you satisfied!" Aunt said eagerly, with desire in her eyes.
Qin Man happened to be in urgent need of manpower, so she simply let her aunt try.
"Okay, then you can go to work today!"
