Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 108 The Silly Girl Comes to Her Head
On the first day of opening, my two uncles, my aunt, and my grandfather all came to help. Fortunately, so many people came, otherwise we would not be able to handle it.
It was a bit hard, but when it came time to count the money and settle the accounts at night, everyone was smiling.
Just today, we sold boxed lunches for 768 yuan, braised dishes for 466 yuan, and miscellaneous alcoholic beverages for more than 100 yuan. In the end, the total sales for today exceeded 1,300 yuan!
After deducting the cost of buying vegetables and meat, as well as the cost of wholesale liquor, Hu Qiongfang felt her palms wet after doing the math.
"It seems that our family made over 600 yuan... just today!"
With a "gulp", my aunt couldn't help but swallowed her saliva.
Second aunt didn't say anything, but the sound of her heartbeat was making her head buzz.
Tiantian is simply the God of Wealth descending to earth!
She was right. Although the business of selling boxed lunches at a stall may seem insignificant, it also depends on where you sell the boxed lunches.
This is next to the provincial road!
This provincial road is bustling with cars every day and is never quiet until midnight!
They haven't started handing out flyers to bus drivers to recruit people as Tiantian said, but today alone there were more than a thousand people who saw the sign on the roadside and came in to eat.
There were also many people who came to eat in the evening and wanted to buy braised dishes, but they didn’t have time to make them, so they had to let these customers go with regret.
When my second aunt thought of those guests who walked out empty-handed, she couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
What's gone is not people, but money!
“Tiantian, let’s make more braised dishes tomorrow. I think if we sell them freely, we can sell twice as much in one day.” My aunt couldn’t help but urge.
Jiang Tian did have this plan.
I only made over 400 yuan a day. What's that? In my previous life, there was a stall selling stewed food in the vegetable market near their construction site. I heard that the daily turnover was several thousand yuan!
She didn't dare to think about making several thousand for the time being, but with such a large flow of people on the provincial road, it would be normal .
However, in this case, it would be unrealistic to rely on my grandpa's family to help them for free.
They are all family. Jiang Tian looked at her mother and just started talking.
Seeing that the business of the store is getting better and better, and this is only the first day of its official opening, it will only get busier and busier in the future. We can't ask my uncle and aunt to stop doing their housework and come to help them every day, right?
"How much money can you make from farming in a year? Uncle, can you let the aunts come over to help my mom? It's not for free. We should be clear about the accounts among relatives. The two aunts can each be paid 100 yuan per month. Grandpa, do you think this is okay?"
She didn't ask her aunts because she knew her parents-in-law were present and the two aunts would definitely feel embarrassed to ask her sister-in-law for money.
Therefore, this matter must be decided by the old man.
Grandpa Hu thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.
"Just do as Tiantian said, one hundred a month, that's twelve hundred a year, not a small amount."
My aunt was quite worried: "One hundred is too much. People in our village who work as laborers can't earn that much in a month. Tiantian, if you really want to pay us, thirty or fifty a month will be enough."
She didn't say she didn't want money. After all, if she came to help in the store, she would not be able to take care of the housework, and she would have to hire someone to help with farming. Although she had to help her sister-in-law, she couldn't sacrifice her own family to help her sister-in-law, right?
My aunt is just an ordinary rural woman, and she doesn't think she has such a noble and selfless spirit of sacrifice and dedication.
My second aunt Chen Xiaohong also felt that paying one hundred yuan a month was too much.
People who work in public institutions in their town only get a few dozen yuan a month as salary, but they help their sister-in-law with cooking and actually get a hundred yuan a month as salary. Who would believe it if they told others about it?
Before Jiang Tian could say anything, Hu Qiongfang spoke first and pushed the two sisters-in-law back.
"Just one hundred! If you two don't come , I'll just hire someone else. We're all making money, so why would I give my money to outsiders if I don't make it for my own family?"
"Besides, everything else about our family is easy to say, but the recipe for this stewed dish was made by Tiantian herself. Didn't you hear what those people said? The stewed dish chefs in the provincial capital can't make stewed dishes as delicious as ours."
"This stewed dish recipe is worth a lot of money! If you don't come to help me, if someone else learns this stewed dish recipe and opens his own store, then our family will suffer a huge loss."
The way Grandma Hu looked at her daughter was as if she was looking at an alien.
When did her silly girl suddenly come to her senses?
Therefore, environment is the most effective way to change a person.
In the past, Hu Qiongfang could only see her husband and children, as well as the affairs at home and outside. She had a narrow vision and naturally a confused mind.
But now, Hu Qiongfang does business on the provincial road every day and comes into contact with all kinds of people. He has to think about how to do business well and how to protect this lunch box stall. With more things to think about, his brain, which was originally a mess, naturally became clear.
In fact, even if her daughter didn't mention it, Hu Qiongfang wanted to discuss it with her two sisters-in-law and ask them to come and help her.
You can't just leave a lot of money unearned, right?
Besides, if the business in the store continues to be so popular in the future, I can make hundreds of dollars a day and give my two sisters-in-law a salary of 100 yuan each per month. It may seem high, but it is actually no pressure at all for her.
The most important thing is that your family can use it with confidence.
Ever since her lunch box stall became popular, there have been people around her who are jealous.
Hu Qiongfang also met some locals who said they came to buy lunch boxes, but their eyes were fixed on the food on her stall, looking at it again and again.
Don’t you just want to see how their meals are cooked?
If Hu Qiongfang didn't react at all when others were trying to steal her business, she would be a brainless fool.
She can't let her daughter worry about her forever.
Tiantian will definitely go to school next year, and then she will have to support the family business on her own.
You can't let your daughter be thinking about the family business while she's in class at school, right?
" What about us?"
The two uncles looked confused.
Why is it that when the women in the family discuss important matters, none of them bring them along to play?
Jiang Tian chuckled: "Uncle, after the festival, you have to hurry up and build the new house."
"We agreed that when our store's business picks up, our uncles' stores will also be opened. Where are the stores?"
Oh yes!
Where is the store?
We have been busy celebrating the festival recently, and the workers have all gone back to eat mooncakes, and the foundation has not yet been dug.
The two uncles secretly wiped their sweat, as they had experienced what "involution" meant in the 1980s.
The niece is almost running ahead of them, what can the uncle do?
Early the next morning, my uncle took people to start digging the foundation.
My second uncle was also not idle. He drove a tractor to the brick factory to pull bricks.
