The 223rd chapter open source and reduce expenditure
After carefully checking the daily income and calculating the chicken, spicy hotpot and grilled skewers sold, Su Yizhao felt that the figures were close to each other.
The number of skewers made every day will be calculated by the shopkeeper in the shop, and this cannot be faked.
There is only Malatang, which can only weigh Jinlunliang. It is impossible for Su Yizhao to make people count every day, such as how many pieces of tofu are cut into and how many meatballs there are.
This made Su Yizhao feel very disgusted. He didn't trust his employees too much and would only make them resentful.
But the shopkeepers were promoted from those who did good work to supervise them.
Therefore, even if there were errors and waste, Su Yizhao would not dig into it, and it would be okay for his own staff to eat some.
The clerks in the store were all the ones who bought it from her, so she didn't have to worry about taking it home secretly.
There is nothing to question about income, but expenditure is particularly important. If someone wants to line their own pockets, most of them will start with expenditure.
Raising chickens costs a lot of money, but after deducting the cost of other spicy hotpot and barbecue ingredients, you can make more than half of it.
As long as he raises chickens, the profit is basically half, but Su Yizhao is also very satisfied.
In fact, there have been several shops following the trend in Nancheng, such as Malatang and Barbecue. Although their seasonings are often updated and taste good, they still can't prevent some people from taking advantage of the situation and buying from other shops.
At present, the safest options are fried chicken and braised chicken.
Fried chicken requires oil, grilled chicken requires a secret recipe, and raising chickens is even more difficult.
At present, as long as the fried chicken is the main business in the shop, it will definitely lead to spicy hotpot and barbecue.
And because some people like to eat different parts, Su Yizhao followed the model of those fried chicken restaurants in his previous life and made the chicken wings, chicken legs and chicken body separately.
Buying them separately is a little more expensive, but it’s troublesome, but you can earn more.
Su Yizhao's eyes went through the small expenses. Zhu San has always been in charge of raising chickens. In terms of expenses, this guy has very strict control. His calculations are not much different from Su Yizhao's. Zhu San is still worth it.
Trusted.
The purchase in the shop is the responsibility of the shopkeeper, and all expenditures and income will be checked by the manager in advance before being presented to him.
Su Yizhao's eyes lingered on one of the rows for a while, which was for purchasing secret braised chicken and barbecue accessories.
Turning to the page about the expenditure of auxiliary materials at the back, Su Yizhao read the page carefully, and one of the items confirmed her suspicion.
A few days ago, she accompanied her second sister to the drug store to buy medicine, and she paid attention to the prices of some medicinal materials in the drug store.
At the end of the year, even the price of wolfberry has increased.
Wolfberry is an indispensable ingredient for making soup stock. It is one of the main ingredients for making Malatang soup base. At least one kilogram of wolfberry is needed for cooking every day.
The last time she went to the drug store, she saw wolfberry and asked about it. Currently, it sells for twenty cents per tael.
Wolfberry is a tonic medicinal material, so it is naturally more expensive than others.
And what is recorded in this account book is that wolfberry is twenty-three cents and one tael, which is three cents and one tael more expensive.
Her eyes fell on Angelica dahurica again, which was two cents and one ounce more expensive than the price she saw in the drugstore.
The other two medicinal materials were not very different, and Su Yizhao didn't ask much. He only asked about the prices of the four seasonings.
Roughly speaking, these two medicines cost about two taels more per month.
Who did this? Manager Zhou?
This is impossible. Manager Zhou used to be the steward of a wealthy family. He has seen the big world and would look down on a mere two taels of silver.
Is that Shopkeeper Wang in the shop? He has some abilities, but his temper is a little slippery, and he might actually do something to line his own pockets.
There were also suppliers. Because the quantity needed was large, Su Yizhao asked Zhu San to find a dealer who specialized in supplying medicine stores.
The person who supplies the shop is called Mr. Qian, and he travels back and forth between the capital, Beiding Prefecture, and Shengnan Prefecture.
Beiding Prefecture is close to the border, and there are more precious medicinal materials there. Shengnan Prefecture is located in the south, and is rich in many medicinal materials, but it is different from the medicinal materials abundant in Beiding Prefecture!
Every time Mr. Qian goes out, he drives in a caravan and brings a lot of medicinal materials.
The shop gets the goods from him, and they are much cheaper than the drug store. There should be no suspicion that they are more expensive than the drug store?
The guys below don't have access to these, and they don't have the guts to be greedy.
If it was just that, Su Yizhao didn't intend to pursue it. After all, there would be no fish if the water was clear.
But since Shopkeeper Wang dares to take action in expenditures, what about the profit of the shop? After all, it is difficult for Malatang to calculate the profit carefully.
Manager Zhou has been assigned a lot of work by her during this period. Perhaps she has neglected it? Or is it just a matter of hiding it?
Su Yizhao planned to open a cosmetics shop, so Manager Zhou had been busy with this matter during this period. Even Zhu San was running on both sides.
Manager Zhou will report the progress of the matter to her tomorrow and ask her about the temporary closure of the business. Su Yizhao thinks it is better to wait until tomorrow to investigate!
If it really doesn't work, just give me a little reminder and see how Manager Zhou will handle it.
It's New Year's Eve in five days, and it's time for shops to close. It's a day when everyone is reunited, and business will be much lighter.
It happened that the shop was very busy during this period, and everyone was a little tired, so we took this opportunity to take a rest.
The next day, Su Yizhao reported the incident to the Tang family, saying that the teacher was looking for her, and she left the house smoothly.
Su Yizhao is about to end. As a teacher, it is normal for Li Shizhi to care about her career.
First, go to the courtyard in Dongma Lane and make arrangements for the next few days.
"Sir, you were looking at the two-bay shop on the west side of the city. We have already made an agreement with the owner. It's seven hundred and forty taels, and there's a yard at the back. Do you think the price is satisfactory?"
Manager Zhou took out his own notebook and picked out the important reports first.
Su Yizhao nodded, it was a little cheaper than she expected.
Two-bay rooms in Xicheng are not cheap, not to mention that the shop is not small and has a yard behind it, so the price is indeed very affordable.
"It's okay! But tell the owner that those tables, chairs, etc. must be given to us!"
Su Yizhao remembered that the shop used to be a tavern. There were many tables and chairs in it, as well as the guys in the kitchen, and he just moved it to his own shop.
Anyway, it was left by the previous tenant, so the owner doesn’t suffer any loss.
"You really thought of this!" Manager Zhou gave a thumbs up, "The master has been asking about what our family plans to do for a living, but you have always insisted not to disclose it, so I just said that these are not needed."
"He insisted on selling those items to us and asked for two taels of silver. I had an argument with him, and finally he said that we would have a good relationship and gave them to us."
He knew that Manager Zhou was asking for credit. Although these things were not expensive, they saved money for him. No matter how much, Su Yizhao was still grateful and worthy of encouragement!
So she nodded, "That's right! Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. This time the investment is relatively large, so save what you can. People also care about your face, otherwise why would they be willing to give it to us?"
