Originally, Lin Mo wanted to open a breakfast shop selling pasta, selling some Chinese food at noon and evening, the cost is not high and the money is quick. However, although the location of this store on West Street is good, there are not a few tables in the store at all. Now that the urban management is not strict, there are a few more tables outside, but only before nine in the morning and after six in the evening .
If you follow this plan, you won't be able to entertain many guests every day, and you won't be able to make much money.
Fortunately, the location of the shop is good, opposite to a public high school with a day system. In the morning, instead of selling noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns and porridge are sold, and more people buy them than eat noodles. Students, who doesn’t want to sleep in late, and it’s normal to step on the clock to get to school. How convenient is it to stuff some steamed buns, steamed buns, and porridge for early self-study when the teacher is not paying attention
There are many students who are not used to eating in the school cafeteria at noon. When the time comes, they can cook and stir-fry dishes casually, and sell them in the same way as the school cafeteria. As long as the taste is better than the school cafeteria, and the portion is bigger than it, do you worry about no students coming to buy it
In the evening, you can set up tables outside and sell some snacks such as Maocai Malatang, which will surely attract people who visit the night market nearby.
Of course, there are so many things that he can't do even if he is exhausted alone. To live a new life, even if Lin Mo desperately wants his family to live a prosperous and healthy life, he must put his own health first. He doesn't want to live a life of "working hard to make money when he is young, and using money to support his life when he is old" again.
While looking for a shop, he was already thinking about hiring someone. Making buns, washing dishes, and choosing vegetables, Lin Mo did a rough calculation, and at least three people were required to be busy.
Fortunately, wages are generally not high at this stage, and these are not heavy manual jobs, and most rural women can do them. Five or six hundred a month is paid, and many people want to come to work, so I don't have to worry about not being able to find hardworking and honest people. As for the specific candidates, Lin Mo left this matter to grandma. The old lady has spent her whole life in the village, but she still doesn't know what kind of virtue is so-and-so? The old lady cared more about opening the store than Lin Mo did. As soon as he mentioned it, the old lady consciously took over the task of picking people.
Lin Mo, who should be thinking about it, has almost thought about it, but now he wants to sell that shop, and he is still short of 16,000.
After listening to the plan of the shop, Lin Jian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Just do as you said, and I will figure out the money."
"good."
Lin Mo can probably guess his father's 'method'. Their family finally paid back the money owed to relatives and friends. According to the current situation of the family, if they want to ask everyone to borrow money for business, I am afraid no one will dare to lend them. We can only pin our hopes on Lin Changqing, the village chief. Only he has the financial strength, and only he will believe that their family has the ability to repay the money, and then he is the most likely to lend the money.
Just as Lin Mo imagined, after Lin Changqing visited Lin Jian in the hospital that afternoon, he brought 20,000 yuan to the hospital the next day and gave it to Lin Jian. Lin Jian wrote him an IOU, and on the IOU he promised to pay him double the interest at the bank rate when repaying the loan.
This time Lin Changqing did not refuse. First, he withdrew the 20,000 yuan from the bank before it was due, and lost a large amount of interest money; second, he believed that with Lin Mo's ability, he would definitely be able to make money Finally, and of course the most important point, the double interest money is what his wife ordered to die, otherwise, he would just wait to go home and kneel on the washboard.
After borrowing the money, Lin Mo went to find the proprietress of the shop that afternoon. She was probably in a hurry to sell the house, and immediately promised to go through the transfer procedures tomorrow, and also promised to give him all the pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches in the shop.
Lin Mo had seen that all the things in her shop could be used at will, which just saved him a lot of expenses.
The shop was bought by Lin Jian. He was unable to go through the formalities with his legs and feet, and he was worried that Lin Mo would be cheated at a young age, so he had to write a power of attorney in advance and let Lin Changqing take it with him. to do it.
With the help of his son Lin Hai and a power of attorney, Lin Changqing easily helped Lin Mo complete all the necessary procedures in one day. After handing over the money to the proprietress, getting the key to the shop, and changing the lock, Lin Jian is considered the new owner of the shop.
Next, it took another half a month. With the help of Lin Changqing, Lin Mo got all the real estate certificates, business licenses, etc. in his hands. During the period, he also asked Lin Hai to find his decoration team to redecorate the small shop. , the stove has been refurbished, and the interior has been fully furnished. The dilapidated small noodle shop has become clean and bright, which is eye-catching, and it is no worse than other shops.
After the renovation of the shop was finished, the old lady invited the 'sir' in the village to choose an auspicious day.
On the eve of the opening, the old lady called all the three people she had invited to her home to give her good grandson a look.
The three of them are all familiar with Lin Mo. Not only are they well-known hardworking people in the village, they also took care of their family a lot in their previous lives.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Lin Mo began to assign tasks: "Aunt Li, you already know how to make buns and make steamed buns. After kneading the dough in the morning, you will be responsible for making buns and steamed buns."
Aunt Li was about 1.62 meters tall, with a round face and slightly chubby eyes, and her smile gave off a gentle yet shrewd feeling. Of the three, she is the one from the best family and looks the youngest.
Her old mother is from the north, and she has followed her to make pasta since she was a child. Baozi, steamed buns, dumplings, and wontons are all her specialties.
"Aunt Wang, you are in charge of cooking the porridge in the morning, selling the porridge and packing it, okay?"
Aunt Wang is shorter and fatter than Aunt Li. The man in her family was injured working on the construction site two years ago, and now he can’t do heavy work. The family is supported by her and his wife. Her son is still in junior high school, and life is very difficult. . Probably because of the sympathy for each other, in her previous life, Aunt Wang always gave Lin Mo and the others home-grown vegetables and homemade fermented tofu and pickles from time to time. Although these things are not worth much, this friendship cannot be measured by money.
She was married to Qingtong Village from the next village, and she is not good at making pasta, but she is not a problem at cooking porridge.
"Okay, just leave it to me, I promise I can do it well." Aunt Wang replied with a smile.
"Aunt Gu, I'll leave it to you to put the steamed buns on the drawer and pack the buns for customers, okay?"
Aunt Li Gu is the tallest of the three, about 1.67 meters, very thin, with deep nasolabial folds on her face, making her look serious and older than her peers. As early as ten years ago, her husband passed away due to an accident, and she raised her only daughter alone, and her life was very poor and difficult. The so-called widow has a lot of gossip at her door, and it was rumored in the village that she had a face of restraint, and she restrained her husband to death. I don't know if it's because of these gossips that Aunt Gu seldom speaks. In addition to her gloomy and serious appearance, many children in the village are quite afraid of her.
Lin Shuyuan was also one of them. Later, Lin Shu was bullied and ridiculed by children from other villages because of Wang Yanyan's incident. Aunt Gu stepped forward to help him scare away those bear children, and even brought him home, steamed a bowl of custard for him to scare him, and enlightened him all afternoon. From then on, Lin Shu was no longer afraid of Aunt Gu. Later, Lin Shu went to study outside and won a scholarship. Every year when he went back to the countryside to worship, Lin Shu never forgot to bring some gifts to Aunt Gu.
In Lin Shu's eyes, Aunt Gu is almost half a mother.
Aunt Gu is relatively withdrawn and usually taciturn, but she is very serious and quick in doing things. Every family is willing to ask her for help on weddings and funerals. Lin Mo never thought that the old lady could ask her.
Aunt Gu said seriously with a straight face: "I have great strength, so it's no problem to leave it to me."
Lin Mo smiled, looked at everyone and said, "This is a morning thing. Steamed stuffed buns are only sold until nine in the morning. You are responsible for choosing vegetables at noon and afternoon. In the evening, Aunt Li and Aunt Wang are responsible for making Maocai and Spike Potatoes. Aunt Gu Responsible for cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the store, and closing the store on time at ten o'clock in the evening."
"Because the working hours are relatively long, I will give you double salary, seven hundred yuan per person per month. If you do well, I can give you some extra bonuses according to your performance, and I will give you a letter at the end of the year." Big red envelope, if I am too busy in the future, I will hire another person. Of course, the ugly thing is the first, if you do not do well and cannot be qualified for the work I have arranged for you, then I can only hire another person." Favors, the reward and punishment mechanism that should be there is still indispensable.
When the old lady invited them before, she didn't mention the salary, but now that it's 700 yuan a month, how can she have any opinion in her heart
Aunt Li reacted the fastest, and hurriedly said: "Lin Mo, don't worry, Auntie will definitely bring out her housekeeping skills and promise not to let you down!"
Aunt Wang also hurriedly responded with a smile.
Aunt Gu was the only one with a stern face, with worry instead of joy in her eyes, and said hesitantly, "Lin Mo, is your salary too high?"
Lin Mo said with a smile: "As long as the business is good, I will definitely not treat my aunts badly." Seven hundred yuan a month is really nothing to future generations, but it is not good to put it on rural women who are not well-off. It's an out-and-out 'high salary'. On average, these wages are about 20 yuan a day, which is no less than that of men working hard on the construction site. If there is no job on the construction site today, three or four hundred a month is more than enough. Compared with Lin Mo's salary
The reason why he pays such a 'high' salary is, on the one hand, because of the long working hours and hard work, and on the other hand, he wants to help everyone as much as he can, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness everyone gave to their family in the previous life .
Next, Lin Mo discussed the work details with them in detail. The next day, the day before the opening, Lin Mo took the three of them to the small shop. After shopping around, he led them to the vegetable market to buy noodles, vegetables, meat and a series of things.
Small noodle restaurants used to sell buns and steamed buns, and steamers were all ready-made. Lin Mo thought the quantity was too small, so he ordered some more. He intends to mainly sell xiao long bao, so he ordered only small steamers.
At present, there are very few kinds of steamed buns in L county, only big steamed stuffed buns and small steamed stuffed buns, regardless of size, only stuffed with chives. Big buns sell for 50 cents each, 8 small steamed buns per basket, 20 cents each, 1 yuan and 1 basket, steamed buns and small steamed buns at the same price.
Although the prices of raw materials are relatively low at the moment, at this selling price, it is really impossible to make any money with good pork. Lin Mo is used to high-end food, no matter how he looks at it, he can't tolerate using sick and dead pork as stuffing for buns.
In this way, he had to raise the selling price of his buns.
