Chapter 93 The place is small, I want to change to a bigger one (Chapter 1 is here)
Qi Lixin ate his meal slowly, fearing that he would make any noise and disturb the sleeping couple in the room.
After finishing the meal, he went to clean the dishes and chopsticks himself.
Considering that he had to leave home at three o'clock in the morning and go to the store in advance to prepare for the chores before opening, he did not go to the master bedroom again and consciously slept in the second bedroom.
In the early morning of the next day, accompanied by a "buzzing" sound, Qi Lixin, who was sleeping, reached out and touched his mobile phone in an irritable manner. He pressed it to death, but he still opened his eyes and got up to work.
After coming out of home, the cold wind in the early morning woke him up, and he started running towards the "Lao Qi Yang Soup Restaurant" on his electric bicycle.
…
Before five o'clock in the morning and before dawn, Xia Zekai carefully pulled out the arm from under Luo Xiyun's neck that had been her pillow all night.
The warm fragrant nephrite was infinitely beautiful, but he didn't miss it at this moment. He rubbed his sore and numb arms and went to wash up.
After washing up, Xia Zekai came out from home, bought some steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and fried dough sticks from the breakfast shop that was already open, and made two portions of bean juice, and then strolled to Lin Ao Community.
He guessed that the hard-working Li Mumu should have arrived.
Sure enough, after arriving at the store, there was already a figure busy opening the door.
"Hey, Lao Li, good morning!" Xia Zekai greeted him.
Li Mumu was mixing ingredients into the basin. There were three buckets of Dumex milk powder. Other yoghurt, egg white and other supplementary ingredients were also poured in for free.
The newly squeezed dragon juice was poured into the basin according to the proportion, and finally put on the blender. Amidst the "buzzing" sound of stirring, the basin of ingredients was fully blended.
"Boss, have you finished eating so much breakfast?" Li Mumu asked knowingly.
Xia Zekai didn't even look for an excuse. He directly put the breakfast he bought on the table and called him: "Old Li, come and eat together."
"Boss, you are such a good person." Li Mumu said sincerely.
He has forgotten how many times he has said this, and now he has figured out the pattern. Every Saturday and weekend morning, the boss will come over early and bring him another breakfast.
Normally, you wouldn't think about such a good thing.
Xia Zekai was still eating the buns in his mouth. The buns were so hot that he kept inhaling, but he liked this bite. He felt that the buns tasted better when they were hot, but not as tasty when they were cold.
In just ten minutes, the two of them finished their breakfast like a fight. Xia Zekai said to Li Mumu: "Lao Li, I plan to buy another oven and recruit one or two more people, so as to further increase production."
"In addition, I have thought about it. In addition to normal wages and overtime pay, I will give you a little profit commission based on the monthly profit of that month. The more you sell, the more you will earn."
Li Mumu clenched his fists tightly, feeling more motivated.
He never expected that he, Li Mumu, would have this day. God finally opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Boss, it would be good to hire more people. We are too busy and some customers can't be taken care of. Sometimes we can't keep up with the number of people buying. Some customers can't wait and leave."
"Our small store only has so much space. If we buy a big oven like this, there won't be room for it."
Xia Zekai nodded: "I know this. I plan to rent the small second floor at the corner of the west gate of Lin Ao Community, and use these two garages as warehouses."
"But the rent there is not cheap, and I haven't heard of any plans to rent it out."
"Yes!" Xia Zekai said with certainty, but he did not explain the specific reason.
This is what Pan Qin told him. He feels that although this eldest sister is sometimes unreliable, she has never had any problems in key matters and is still worthy of trust.
There is no need to tell Li Mumu this, he has already settled down to make Rongdou.
After a while, Li Mumu didn't know what he was thinking. He stopped what he was doing and asked: "Boss, we don't have that many customers now. It would be a waste to rent the second floor."
"Don't waste it, Lao Li. You haven't paid much attention to it. Our Taobao store's sales are now also increasing." Xia Zekai said casually and didn't say more.
Including the regular version, there are four kinds of melted beans in total, and they are cooked in turn. The one with dragon fruit and carrots requires one more pot. Xia Zekai has been busy here until about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the 18 buckets of milk powder have been consumed.
This consumption is terrifying for a small store of their size.
The milk powder alone costs less than 2,000 yuan.
Xia Zekai thought that the milk powder inventory stored in another warehouse might not last long, so he had already called Jiang Lei and asked him to send another batch over. It was estimated that it would only take the next two days.
"Old Li, you look at the store first, and I'll go to the door to take a look." Xia Zekai said to Li Mumu.
But Li Mumu also knew what was going on. He said, "Boss, you have to work first."
After Xia Zekai left the 'Jingtong Baking' shop, he went to the second floor of the west gate of Lin Ao Community for a walk.
This small second floor is still a clothing store. The second floor sells men's clothing and clothing for the elderly, and the first floor sells women's clothing and children's clothing. This combination is quite reasonable. The store owner has a thorough understanding of human nature.
In addition, Lin Ao Community is a large community with a population of 10,000 people. Generally speaking, there will be no problems, but in the end something went wrong.
"Brother, what clothes are you buying?" A young-looking waiter in the clothing store came over and asked.
Xia Zekai didn't say that he didn't want to buy clothes. He mainly wanted to come and check out this location and rent this small second-floor apartment. He said, "I'll take a look for myself first. If I see something suitable, I'll find you again."
"Hey, okay, brother, take a look at it first. If you like anything, just call me."
The waiter smiled and said: "We are currently holding an event in our store. No matter what type of clothes, as long as you purchase two or more pieces at one time, you will get a 20% discount."
"Why is it so much cheaper? Are you planning a store celebration?" Xia Zekai asked knowingly.
The smile on the waiter's face never broke, and she shook her head: "Brother, I don't know, it's the boss's idea. He said that if you buy two items, you will get a 20% discount; if you buy three or more items at one time, you will get a 30% discount.
Discounts, anyway, our discounts these days are pretty big.”
Hearing what she said, he knew that this little girl was speechless. Xia Zekai didn't waste time anymore. Taking advantage of his wife's rest today, looking at Yatou and Tongtong, Xia Zekai went directly back to Qiyun Garden Community to drive.
Jinqiao second-hand goods market.
After arriving here, he found the store where he was sold a second-hand oven last time. He didn't say anything nonsense after entering, and directly explained the purpose of his visit to the store owner.
"Brother, you still want another one, but that one is not enough for you?" The store owner was surprised. He had never seen such a situation before.
This is a large commercial oven, not the mini oven with a capacity of more than ten or twenty liters at home. What did he do?
Xia Zekai shook his head: "If it's enough, I won't buy it. Boss, are you right?"
This is the truth, but Xia Zekai's trip got off to a bad start. There were several large commercial ovens in the store, but they were all very old. Xia Zekai looked at them carefully and finally came to the conclusion that these ovens could not be purchased.
If nothing was gained, Xia Zekai didn't delay and immediately went to wander elsewhere.
