Chapter 146 Losing money and making a profit
(My dear friends, the previous chapter has been slightly modified, but the general plot remains unchanged)
He Shan was led by He Wenlin to become more and more relaxed.
Yelling with He Wenlin, they also took the initiative to invite customers into the store to make purchases. Needless to say, many people came to buy.
At seven o'clock, there were more and more people.
It's close to the bus station, and it's a main road. There are many residents nearby, and there are really a lot of people coming and going.
He Wenlin quickly turned on the tape recorder and played music, making the place more lively.
He Shan continued to shout out loud outside without any effort. Two part-time workers were responsible for loading goods for customers, and He Wenlin and He Wenjun were responsible for collecting money and making changes. They were very busy.
Liu Xiaomei, Boss Liu's brother and sister, and Luo Zhonghui also brought large flower baskets to support them.
"Boss Xiao He, business is booming."
He Wenlin really didn't expect that these three people would come.
"Two bosses, please come inside. What do you want to eat? How about a portion of xiaolongbao and wontons?" He Wenlin said to the second brother, "Hurry up and give each of the three bosses a bowl of wontons."
After He Wenlin finished speaking, he gave them a steamed dumpling each.
For adults like them, one portion of steamed dumplings is definitely not enough.
"Boss Xiao He, you are young, and you have become a blockbuster even if you don't make a sound." Boss Liu smiled and said, "I have known for a long time that you are not an ordinary person, so how can you say that?"
Liu Xiaomei: "No matter what he says, he is not an ordinary person anyway, and his future is unlimited."
"Haha, let me borrow some good words from my two bosses."
He Wenjun also brought the wontons, all of which were added in quantity: "The wontons are ready. Let the three bosses taste them and give them some advice. You can add vinegar and chili pepper as you like. This chili sauce is made with my sister's secret recipe and is particularly fragrant."
Luo Zhonghui smiled and said: "Then I want to have a good taste."
"Boss, here's the money!" Xia Xiaohua, a part-time worker, shouted.
"Second brother, you go."
"Here we come." He Wenjun hurriedly ran to the door to collect the change.
At this moment, there was a queue at the door. He Shan stopped shouting and joined the queue to collect money and change.
The five of them were so busy that it was okay for He Wenlin not to step forward.
Liu Xiaomei said at this time: "Boss Xiao He, your wontons taste quite good."
"As long as you like it. If it's not enough, I'll ask my second brother to give it to you again."
Boss Liu: "That's enough, that's enough. There are dumplings and wontons. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat at noon."
After breakfast, they all had to pay, but He Wenlin didn't ask for it. They already sent a flower basket. It was already a great honor, so how could they have the nerve to accept money from others?
"Xiao He, how can there be no reason not to charge money when a new store opens?"
"That's right, take it now and give us a free bill next time. You can't do it today, it's unlucky."
He Wenlin couldn't resist, but she gave them an advantage. In the end, she received a symbolic two yuan per person.
It was already 7:40, and they were rushing back to do business. The door to He Wenlin was already full of people.
After seeing the three of them off, He Wenlin saw the five of them coming over in a hurry, walked out of the door, and continued to shout: "Big opening bonus, buy breakfast and get free eggs. The quantity is limited, first come, first served! If you buy it, you will earn it. Walk through Don’t miss it if you pass by! Buy breakfast and get eggs for free, first come, first served...
"Sister, have you had breakfast? We have steamed dumplings, steamed dumplings, steamed dumplings, and wontons here, priced at NT$5.00 each. They are delicious and not expensive. We also have boiled eggs for free, which is super cost-effective..."
"Uncle, the day's plan starts in the morning. Come in and buy breakfast. Only when you are full can you have the strength to go to work."
"Auntie, if you buy breakfast, you get eggs for free. It's a great deal. You'll earn money if you buy it. Come in and take a look..."
He Wenlin is bold, enthusiastic, and has a sweet mouth. She calls everyone brother, sister, uncle, and aunt when she meets them. Most of the people she "selects" come to buy them, sorry to say.
He kept shouting until 8:40, and He Wenlin's voice was filled with smoke.
"Hurry up and drink some water to moisten it." Mrs. He handed He Wenlin a glass of water.
Mrs. He, Dad He, and Lin Fei arrived at a quarter past eight. They were also thinking about the opening here today and rode their bicycles as soon as the peak period over there was over.
"How is it? Business seems to be going well." Dad He asked.
"Buying breakfast and giving away eggs at the opening today is not making any money, it's just making a profit." After He Wenlin finished speaking, she took out the pocket bags from Lin Fei and He Shan's bags and began to settle the accounts.
There used to be a total of three hundred change in the two bags, but now the total amount is five hundred and fifty-three, which means the turnover is two hundred and fifty-three yuan.
"It's not bad." The second brother said with a smile, "It's still early and it can still be sold for a while. I think it can be sold for 300."
"If we can sell more than 200 eggs a day without giving away eggs, then that's fine." Dad He said, "Otherwise, we won't make any money."
"I see that the wontons haven't been sold much today. Second brother, how many bowls have you cooked today?" He Wenlin asked.
"Not counting the three bosses, we cooked twelve bowls."
"The rice balls are okay, almost fifty have been sold." He Shan said, "The sales will end at eleven o'clock, let's see if we can reach sixty."
"Linlin, congratulations." He Hui also brought a flower basket, "How is business today?"
"It's just so so. We just opened. We buy breakfast and get eggs for free. We lose money and make money." He Wenlin said with a smile, "What to eat? Rice balls? Or steamed dumplings?"
"Xiao Long Bao."
He Wenlin brought him a basket of xiaolongbao and asked him to add chili sauce according to his preference.
"When will you set up the stall?" Mrs. He asked He Hui.
"I plan to try it at the entrance of the Second Hospital this afternoon, and I plan to try it at the antique street in the evening."
"There are a lot of pickpockets out there, so be careful when setting up stalls, especially at night, when the lights are dark." Mrs. He warned, "We were attacked by thieves a few days ago. When you rent a house outside, you must put your money away."
He Hui was shocked: "Were you robbed? Did you lose any money?"
Dad He: "We have lost more than a thousand yuan, so you should be careful and don't put your money into renting a house."
More than a thousand at this time is not a small amount.
When He Hui heard this, he kept it in mind and thought that he should pay more attention in the future. The safety of private houses is not high.
At nine o'clock, the part-time worker got off work. He Hui had breakfast and was ready to leave.
Dad He and Mrs. He invited him to eat at a fast food restaurant, but he didn't go either.
He Wenlin asked Father He, Mrs. He and He Wenjun to go back first, not to delay the lunch meal.
He Wenlin did not leave, but guided He Shan step by step, asking her to write down how much of each item she sold every day, as well as the total business volume of the day, and asked her to plan her daily production volume based on the sales volume.
"Now that our store has just started operating, the output is difficult to estimate. If we sell it for a week, and then after school starts, we will sell it for another week, and we can almost estimate it. In the past few days, we will make it based on today's volume." He Wenlin told He Shan said.
"clear."
"In addition to having to estimate the ingredients every day, there are not many gas briquette packaging bags left, so I need to be notified in advance of the order, at least three days in advance, to avoid unexpected situations and being unable to deliver the goods in time."
He Wenlin explained everything clearly to He Shan.
