Chapter 91 It is not easy for a man to support a family
There was a layer of white foam floating on the surface of the lamb bone soup. After a while, Qi Lixin used a stainless steel ladle to skim the foam away.
From time to time, he glanced at the crowd of laborers gathered not far away, wondering why it was already time to eat, so why didn't he come over?
Without customers coming to his door, he would not be able to make money. If he could not make money, his family would not be able to meet their expenses. He was very anxious.
In a hurry, Qi Lixin yelled like he was greeting customers at a stall: "It's breakfast, mutton soup, and delicious pot stickers. The newly opened Lao Qi Yang Soup restaurant costs 5 yuan a bowl."
Already."
Not to mention, after such a roar, it was really important to take care of things. Not far away, a few people who had been waiting for life came over and asked Qi Lixin: "Boss, how do you sell this mutton soup?"
The person who spoke was not tall, about 1.7 meters tall. He was wearing a dark blue and white school uniform jacket. The words "Jidong Industrial College" were written on the back of the jacket. There were two other people wearing the same clothes as him.
They bought the school uniforms from a street stall for 10 yuan, so cheap!
In addition to the three of them, there were two other people wearing long sleeves who asked: "Boss, I see you have just opened your business and are holding activities. The five of us came together. Can we give you a cheaper price?"
"Okay, you are here as a customer. You are the first one today. We pay 4 yuan for a bowl. Can I put some more sheep's blood for you?" Qi Lixin asked them holding a bowl covered with a plastic bag.
Seeing a few people nodding, he put the bowl on an electronic scale next to him and said, "It's all taken care of. One is one and the other is two. I will definitely not leave you short of anything here."
"When we open our business, we should pay attention to integrity. It's good the first time and familiar the second time. I hope these brothers will work hard and make a fortune and come back in the future." Qi Lixin said one thing after another. It would be a waste not to talk about cross talk.
.
A few minutes later, 5 bowls of mutton soup were ready, and he used two small frames to take 10 more and set them on fire.
"Guys, please eat first. If the soup is gone, just shout and we will add soup for free." Qi Lixin greeted them enthusiastically.
After getting this started, the rest seemed to go much smoother. Not long after, someone came over again. When asked about the price, Qi Lixin immediately asked Qi Lixin to bring a medium bowl for 8 yuan, and also ordered two fires.
He said he had eaten and drank enough and left as soon as possible. Time was tight today.
Qi Lixin understood that this was a big job. According to the current market price, the starting price was at least 150. It seemed that it was still a skilled job. Otherwise, someone who earned 70 to 80 yuan a day would not be willing to spend like this.
Wave after wave of people came, and wave after wave of people left.
Fortunately, when Qi Lixin serves mutton soup, he always puts a plastic bag on the bowl, otherwise just washing the dishes would be enough for him.
The sun began to jump above the horizon and into the air, and the earth was lit up in an instant.
Taking another look at the labor market, there was only a sparse group of people left, and a few people were still wandering around looking for work.
Most of the people in the crowd were carrying large satchels, which contained a wide range of tools such as trowels, shovels, clay tablets, etc.
"Hey, come and have a bowl of mutton soup. To earn money, you have to eat well first!" Qi Lixin didn't know what it meant to be embarrassed, so he shouted to greet people again.
But this time it didn't work. At this point, people who hadn't found a job yet really didn't have the heart to eat.
Qi Lixin saw that he was no longer busy for the time being, so he turned off the power to the blower, then tidied up the tables, chairs and stools in the store, swept the floor clean, and started counting the money.
He kept counting. Just now, 33 people came to the door and asked for 25 bowls of small bowls and 8 bowls of medium bowls. These people took a total of 76 fire bowls.
Except for the small bowl of mutton soup for the first 5 people, which was priced at 4 yuan, the rest were at the original price.
After counting the money, Qi Lixin counted it again in his accounting book and found that he had earned a total of 222 yuan.
We have just started operating, and even if we have a good start, we don’t know what will happen next.
Qi Lixin must have been thinking the best at this time, but at noon, reality gave him a slap in the face.
Only 6 people came to the door, all asking for small bowls, and took a total of 18 hot pots, with a total revenue of 39 yuan.
Qi Lixin knew that there would be fewer people at noon, but he never expected that it would be so bad at noon.
At this time, most people working in the labor market have gone out to work.
The remaining ones who have not found a job are generally reluctant to spend seven or eight yuan for a bowl of mutton soup. Three steamed buns for one yuan are enough to fill their stomachs, and then go back to where they live to sleep.
Qi Lixin thought to himself, wait and see how it goes in the evening.
…
At this time, the "Jingtong Baking" shop in Lin Ao Community was extremely busy. Today was Saturday, and Luo Xiyun didn't have to go to work. She was responsible for taking care of the children today and was busy with cashier work in the store.
Xia Zekai and Li Mumu were working hard and were busy.
Originally, Xia Zekai was a little hesitant about whether to use the spinach juice he developed in Rongdou in advance, but what the customer said that day made him suddenly enlightened.
There is no need to introduce new products one by one. There are more and more customers, and each customer has different tastes. It is better to sell all four kinds together. Giving customers more choices will give them more opportunities to retain people.
.
Later, they felt that the speed of making Rongdou could not keep up with the speed of customers coming to buy them.
"What a shame, where did these people come from?" Xia Zekai saw many unfamiliar faces among the people buying today.
At first I didn’t pay much attention to it, it didn’t matter who bought it or not.
But later, when he saw that there were more and more unfamiliar faces, and that the melted beans they made were not keeping up with the buying trend, Xia Zekai couldn't help but ask: "Which neighborhood are you from?"
"Ah, I saw it from the QQ space of 'My Heart Was Stolen'. I don't have to work on Saturday today, so I came over to take a look and buy some to try."
"Did you also see it in her QQ space?"
Xia Zekai randomly asked a few unfamiliar faces, and surprisingly, less than half of these people came through this channel.
The remaining few heard from their neighbors that there is a shop selling rongdou here, which is very delicious. The most important thing is that eating it is really good for children's digestion.
Luo Xiyun was still greeting the customers who came to buy Rongdou. Xia Zekai and Li Mumu speeded up again. Looking at the situation, the 16 barrels of milk powder today could not be kept, and it might be 20 barrels.
And this is also the capacity ceiling that the two of them can achieve if they go all out.
Even when eating in the evening, I ate in the restaurant. Luo Xiyun went to the nearby restaurant and ordered four dishes and one soup. Among the four dishes were fried chicken with fresh pepper and fried pig's trotters with green pepper. They were all hard vegetables.
We had dinner with Li Mumu.
In the evening, after seeing off the last wave of guests, it was already past eight o'clock, and Xia Zekai directly ordered the day to end.
At this moment, he could already feel that his calves were tight, to the point where it was a little painful to take even two steps.
