In the past few days, Zhang Qingshan went to the town to find a suitable store after the busiest time at noon. The grocery store does not need to be as big as a restaurant, just a facade of about 15 square meters. Now, Zhang Qingshan will follow the street every day to find shops that meet the requirements. In just a few days, everyone has lost a lot of weight, but the child is more energetic, and he is very busy every day.
Since Zhang Qingshan decided to open this grocery store, Li Hehua naturally wanted to help him. On this day, when the businessman surnamed Wang came to eat at her restaurant again, Li Hehua put down what he was doing and greeted him personally, "Boss Wang, long time no see. "
Wang Dayang smiled heartily, "It's been a long time since I came to eat here. This time I went to a lot of places, so the time has taken a long time. I'll be picking up goods in your town today, so of course I have to come to your place for a meal. Go, or you won't want to go."
The few people who followed Wang Dayang nodded with a smile. They are now die-hard fans of Li Hehua's cooking skills. Anyone who comes to this town will definitely come here to eat.
Li Hehua smiled and made a gesture of invitation inside, saying: "Please take your seats quickly, I have been waiting for many days."
Wang Dayang heard the meaning of the words, "Boss, do you have something to call us?"
Li Hehua didn't make any detours, and said directly: "I really have something to do with you, and I want to discuss a business with you, so ah, I'll ask you today, let's sit down and discuss it well?"
How could Wang Dayang say no, businessmen will never push out any business opportunity.
Li Hehua first brought a few pots of good wine from the store to the table, and let Zhang Tieshan and Zhang Qingshan sit down and chat with Wang Dayang and the others, while she entered the kitchen and cooked a table of very rich dishes. She made all her favorite dishes.
After it was done, Li Hehua took off his apron, entered the box, and sat beside Zhang Tieshan.
Zhang Tieshan shook her hand under the table, picked up a few dishes of her favorite dishes with chopsticks and put them in her bowl, and said in a low voice, "Eat something to pamper your stomach first, are you hungry?"
Li Hehua smiled at him and ate the food he had put together. He was really hungry after the food he had now.
"Then let's talk about it, the boss is also listening." Wang Dayang raised his wine glass and touched Zhang Tieshan, both of them raised their heads to dry, and then said: "Every time we leave the ship, there are many people together, the goods on the ship. It can be regarded as everything. If you want to open a grocery store, it is indeed the most convenient to get the goods directly from us. Anyway, if you don’t say anything else, the few of us here will definitely not refuse, or you will be embarrassed to come here for dinner in the future. ."
Everyone else in the room smiled and nodded in agreement, but that's not it, every time they come here, they have to come here for a meal and then pack a lot of food to go. They are also old acquaintances with the boss. Yes, and the price will also let you down.
Wang Dayang then introduced the identities of several people who traveled with him to Li Hehua. Among them, a man in his thirties wearing navy blue clothes was named Jiang, mainly in the tea business; the older man wearing black clothes was named Jiang. Wu, mainly in the kitchen seasoning business, pepper, star anise, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar; and the middle-aged man surnamed Fang in white clothes is in the grain business.
These guys are in the necessities of life business, and they sell everything that is indispensable for opening a grocery store. If they agree to deliver goods to Zhang Qingshan every time they come to town, the grocery store business is basically complete.
Zhang Tieshan obviously thought so too. He picked up the jug and poured wine for Wang Dayang and a few others. He held up the cup and said, "Thank you, everyone, I won't say more, I'll give you a toast."
Several people picked up their wine glasses and drank it.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Tieshan asked again, "I wonder if there are other products that you are traveling with? If possible, please ask Boss Wang to introduce us. We would like to discuss with them to see if they can be there in the future. When the boat stops in town, sell it to us by the way."
Wang Dayang smiled and waved his hand, "We do have quite a few sellers of other supplies on board, such as fragrant pancreas, saponin, candles, and sesame oil. These are all things that you can use when you open a grocery store, but you don't need to talk about it in person. I can help you to tell them directly, these people are incidentally brought by us, and this face will still be given."
I didn't expect Boss Wang to be so helpful. In this way, the purchase of goods can be solved at one time, and the matter is more than half of the success.
Zhang Tieshan and Zhang Qingshan stood up and toasted to them and thanked them, and Li Hehua also thanked them with tea instead of wine.
Next, the two parties discussed the price issue in detail. In the end, Wang Dayang gave a base price for the purchase, and Zhang Qingshan gave the category of goods he wanted.
Because Wang Dayang and the others have almost sold out the goods this time, they can't sell them directly, so they agreed to bring the goods when they come back next time, which will take about a month.
Li Hehua felt that this time was just right. It was just a month to find a shop and renovate it. When everything was done, the goods arrived, and it just opened.
The meal was eaten for about an hour and a half, and when it was over, things were almost over.
Wang Dayang and a group of people enjoyed eating and drinking. When they walked, their faces were all red, and they were even a little unsteady when walking. Obviously, it was a little too much. Li Hehua was worried and asked Luo Er and the others to put people on the boat.
Here, Zhang Qingshan also drank too much, his face flushed, sat on the chair and smirked, and said to Li Hehua: "Sister-in-law... hiccup...sister-in-law, I've done it! I can... don't worry, I... I'll pay you back, soon... hiccup!"
This is really too much, Li Hehua can't laugh or cry, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to make some sober soup.
Li Hehua didn't want Zhang Qingshan to drink. After all, he was still a half-year-old child, but he is the owner of the grocery store, and he will also deal with others in the future. He can't really be a child. Li Hehua didn't stop him, who knew that he would drink too much.
After pouring Zhang Qingshan a bowl of sobering soup, he fell asleep on the table and started to cry. Li Hehua had to ask Zhang Tieshan to carry him to the guest room in the backyard to sleep.
Zhang Tieshan looked quite normal, but when he got close, he smelled of alcohol.
Li Hehua also gave him a bowl of sober soup, pretending to be disgusted, "You stink to death, hurry up and drink a bowl to rescue."
Zhang Tieshan had a smile in his eyes, and he took a few sips from the bowl and drank it without saying a word.
Li Hehua wiped his mouth and touched his face by the way. It was quite hot. He should have been drinking. He drank a lot at noon. .
Li Hehua asked: "Are you dizzy now? Do you want to go to sleep for a while? Anyway, it's not so busy in the afternoon, it doesn't matter if you go to bed."
Zhang Tieshan looked at Li Hehua for a while, then nodded, but took her hand, "Come with me."
Li Hehua thought about it and couldn't bear to refuse him, so he took his hand and went to the backyard. He planned to let him sleep in the small room prepared for Shulin, but he didn't know that the man didn't want to. He went into Li Hehua's room by himself and fell asleep. On her bed, she closed her eyes and didn't look at her.
This stinky man!
Li Hehua patted his face, "Get up quickly, your body stinks, you are not allowed to sleep here, otherwise how can I sleep at night?"
Zhang Tieshan didn't move at all, as if he was really asleep. No matter how much Li Hehua pinched, he didn't respond.
Li Hehua had no choice but to bend down and take off his shoes, straighten his heavy body, and cover him with a quilt. After all the work, he sweated on his back, but the man on the bed pretended to be Just like the real thing.
Li Hehua pinched his nose in anger, "Stinky man! I'll cover your mouth if you pretend to be."
The corner of the man's mouth with his eyes closed on the bed twitched. The next second, he stretched out his hand to hold Li Hehua's hand. With a force, he brought Li Hehua by the bed to the bed and pressed him on top of him.
Li Hehua was almost scared to death, and he was so angry that he punched the man several times.
Zhang Tieshan let her beat, but the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened. He simply took off her shoes with his feet, took the person directly into his arms, wrapped her in a cup, and hugged her tightly under the quilt. her waist.
"Zhang Tieshan, I have to go to the front, you let me go." Li Hehua pushed him, but he was as motionless as a mountain.
Zhang Tieshan snorted, "Oh dear, there is no one coming in front of you now, and the others seem to be fine. Can you rest with me for a while?"
It was rare for him to speak so softly, and Li Hehua couldn't harden his heart and stopped struggling.
Zhang Tieshan smiled, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and then on the eyes.
Li Hehua saw that he couldn't sleep for a while, so he told him about the shop, "How about the price Boss Wang gave them? How much profit can you make after you get it?"
Li Hehua didn't have much time to take care of the grocery store business. Zhang Tieshan was helping Zhang Qingshan to prepare, and he knew the profits inside.
Zhang Tieshan closed his eyes and said, "The price that Boss Wang and the others gave is still very cheap. They didn't make us any more money. It's cheaper than the goods given to other houses in the town. If Qingshan sells it, they can still make a lot of money in the middle. "
Zhang Tieshan gave Li Hehua an example, "It's like a jar of vinegar. The price they give is one hundred cents per jar. I calculated it. According to the price of selling vinegar in the town, selling a jar of vinegar is at least as much as possible. I can earn one hundred and fifty cents, and fifty cents in the middle."
"That's quite a lot. It seems that the purchase price given by Boss Wang and the others is very reasonable." The price difference of fifty cents for a large jar of vinegar is already very good. No matter how much you earn.
Zhang Tieshan gave a "hmm", the price they gave was really good, and it was all due to Li Hehua's face.
Li Hehua remembered the pastries he sold, and patted Zhang Tieshan on the chest, "In addition to these, you can also take some pastries from me to sell after opening, and some people may also stop by when they see something to eat when they buy other things. buy some."
Zhang Tieshan nodded. In fact, he also had this idea. He could also sell some food along the way. Even if he couldn't sell it, he would not lose money. The key is to have as many varieties as possible, so as to attract people.
Li Hehua thinks of a modern supermarket, and when he compares it, he will feel that the items in Zhang Qingshan's grocery store are still not complete, and there are still many things missing.
The things that people in this era want to buy are tea, rice, oil, salt, and needles, threads, and brains. These things are all there, and then there are some daily necessities. Li Hehua simply put himself into his imagination. What about things? In addition to tea, rice, oil, salt, needle, thread, and brain, there are also pots and pans.
Li Hehua went on to add: "Let Qingshan go to the carpenter to order some things like tubs, barrels and wooden scoops. In case some people don't have time to go to the carpenter, or are too lazy to go to the carpenter to do it themselves, they just want to buy ready-made ones, see Aren’t you going to buy these, anyway, the wooden barrels and tubs won’t go bad, and if you sell them, you’ll find a carpenter to make them, and you won’t lose money.”
"Then, let's go and buy some things like tableware, dishes, spatulas, etc. These are what ordinary people need to live their lives. Although there is a place that sells tableware and chopsticks, some people see that there are also grocery stores, so they will stop by. I bought it, I am too lazy to go to other stores to buy it."
After listening, Zhang Tieshan patted Li Hehua's head, "I will tell Qingshan about these things, and let him do the rest. He has to stand up by himself. You can't worry about him forever."
Li Hehua smiled and pinched Zhang Tieshan's nose, "Then let me say one last thing?"
Zhang Tieshan was amused by her, and held her tightly in his arms, "Okay, you say."
Li Hehua said the most important thing, "You must ask Qingshan to take a scooter. I won't say that you need a scooter to buy goods. In the future, if someone buys a lot of things at one time, you have to deliver them to your door. Use a scooter to send it back to others, they will be happy, and they will come to buy things next time."
Zhang Tieshan really did not expect this, but fortunately Li Hehua mentioned it, or else he would have forgotten, and it would be too late to go to the scooter when he remembered it.
Zhang Tieshan kissed Li Hehua's hair and said with a smile, "You are the one who can make the most money in our family. It seems that I am only suitable to work for you."
Li Hehua pursed his lips and snickered, pinching his face to pretend to comfort, "It doesn't matter, I'll give you a raise if you've done a good job, so that you won't be so poor."
Zhang Tieshan raised the corner of his mouth, put her head in his arms, and gradually fell asleep in his arms.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Zhang Tieshan told Zhang Qingshan all the things that Li Hehua added. Zhang Qingshan patted his head and wrote them down one by one. He took the time to prepare, and even went to the carpenter shop to order a large trolley.
Zhang Qingshan's shop has also been found. It is not far from the restaurant. The location is very good. Although the area is not large, it is enough to open a grocery store. After signing the contract, I immediately found a craftsman to decorate and arrange, and finally all the work was ready before Boss Wang and the others came next time.
When Boss Wang and the others came to town again, they brought more than 40 kinds of goods to Zhang Qingshan, and they used the trolley and the carriage of the restaurant to pull all the goods on the wharf into the grocery store three times. In an instant, the shop that was still empty was filled.
Three days later, the grocery store officially opened.
Before the opening, Zhang Qingshan specially came to ask Li Hehua for a lot of related preparations, and Li Hehua gave him two ideas. The first was to invite a lion dancer to play at the door of the shop on the opening day to attract customers and increase human traffic.
The second is to do special promotions on the first day of opening, minus three cents for every thirty cents.
Since ancient times, the common people have always liked to watch the fun, and the people who had the lion dance gathered around to watch, and the children couldn’t even pull them away. Moreover, the discounts such as thirty cents minus three cents were still very strong, which naturally attracted them. Many people came in to watch the fun, and when they saw that there were so many things inside, and the prices were the same as those of other stores, they naturally understood that they earned the money minus the three cents, and there was no reason to not be tempted.
Many people remember that they are not short of anything at home. Some remember that they are short of soy sauce and go home; some remember that they have no line at home and have to buy some; I won't be at a loss, so I bought some by the way.
Some acquaintances even discussed buying them together, and they collected 30 cents, which could reduce the 3 cents and save a lot.
In this way, the first day of the grocery store was very crowded and the business was quite good. Fortunately, Li Hehua asked everyone in the restaurant to join in and help out, so he was busy, otherwise Zhang Qingshan would not be able to collect the money alone. .
When night fell and the shop finally closed, everyone was very tired, but all smiles on their faces, because the shop was a good start today, Zhang Qingshan calculated it, the money earned today is almost three taels of silver, happy. He couldn't close his mouth.
Li Hehua celebrated and called everyone back to the restaurant, where he personally cooked a table full of dishes, instantly making everyone's day's fatigue disappear.
