Chapter 112: Opening a Shop
When they were drinking together at night, Liang Yu mentioned a problem.
"Anzi, soon, Xiaojian is about to start school, and he will definitely not be able to help you work at least during the day, will you be busy by yourself then?"
Zhou Jian also agreed, "Yes, big brother, you won't go to explore the snail by yourself every day, will you?"
This is indeed a problem, when Zhou An first sold five-spice snails, he went to the river every day to pick up by hand, and he could pick up enough to sell every day.
But now the amount of snails he sells every day has increased several times, and there are still crayfish to be stocked, and the amount of crayfish every day is also a lot, more than 100 catties of live shrimp, which are washed and fried, and there are still 50 or 60 catties.
These need to be stocked up every day, and when they are sold at night, they are also busy, if he has to cook crayfish, pack crayfish and snails for customers, and collect money and change for people, I am afraid he will be really busy.
Zhou An didn't answer them for a while, grabbed the beer bottle and took a sip, he was thinking about it.
Is it to ask someone to help? Or is it something that works?
Hiring someone, of course, is the most convenient option, and you only need to pay a little salary every month.
The question is who to please?
Mom, first of all, she was arranged by Zhou to be excluded, and her father needs her to take care of her at home, only this point Zhou An will not consider her, not to mention, my mother is too honest, and she can't open her mouth when talking to strangers, which is not suitable for business at all.
Tian Lu ......
was also excluded by Zhou's arrangement, and even Liang Yu, who was drinking together at this time, was excluded by him, because these two people are both black and strong, and they can be very strong when they go out to fight, but if you ask them to help sell things together, Zhou An is afraid that they will be scared and some timid people will not come.
As for Qin Meixing?
Not to mention, it's the ripening season for the melons and fruits she planted, and she can't get rid of it at all.
Other relatives?
Zhou An went through it in his mind, but he didn't find any suitable one.
If you recruit from outside, you can, but his current business doesn't even have a serious storefront, just a small stall, how many serious people will come to apply to work in him?
"Big brother, otherwise, I still won't read, right? Anyway, I went to mix up the time, do you still think I can be admitted to high school?"
Seeing that Zhou An was silent, Zhou Jian proposed with some expectation.
This kid, like many guys who can't study, would rather come out early than go to school and hurt each other with the teacher.
"The beauty you think!"
Zhou An glared at him, and with a word, he directly extinguished the little flame that had just risen in Zhou Jian's heart.
Zhou Jian's expression fell, and he pursed his lips helplessly.
Liang Yu: "My sister-in-law has to take care of the child, and she always has to breastfeed the child, otherwise she can try." ”
"Alright, drink! Don't worry about that, I'll think about it!"
"Okay, drink!"
"Cheers!"
In front of Zhou Jian's house under the moonlight, three shirtless guys in big pants each held a bottle of beer to "cheers".
……
Liang Yu's question is very practical and left to the Chinese team...... No, there is not much time left for Zhou An, and it is now mid-August, and there is only one week left until the start of school on September 1.
Do you want to get a storefront?
In the next two days, Zhou An began to seriously consider this.
If you get a storefront, it's easy to recruit people, and if you put an announcement on the door, someone will come to the door to apply.
If there is only this benefit, of course Zhou An will not seriously consider this problem, who would deliberately build a store for the convenience of recruiting people?
Zhou An has recently heard that the smallest storefront, the kind of small shop with only a few square meters, has a rent of five or six thousand a year.
If it is about 20 square meters, it will cost more than 10,000 yuan a year.
If you are of normal size and can set up a few tables, the rent will be around 30,000 yuan a year.
This does not include other costs such as utilities.
Zhou An is thinking about the business after the weather cools down in October or November, whether it is crayfish or spiced snails, the peak season is only a few months when the weather is hot, once the weather is cold, even if he doesn't care about the cold and goes out to set up a stall, there will definitely be very few people who come to buy.
Recently, his daily profit has been more than 1,000, and when it is high, it can even reach 1,4501 nights.
Accustomed to such profits every day, when the weather is cold, after being busy every day, he may not even be able to keep his capital, and he is used to earning more than 1,000 Zhou An every day, of course, he doesn't want to live like that.
So he was wondering if he should set up a storefront, and when it gets cold and the business of lobsters and snails is gone, he will do something else......
The capital, he has it.
Even if it's not enough, a few more days of stalling should be able to earn enough.
Before being reborn, Zhou An, like many people, had a common shortcoming - thinking too much, doing less, being more than steady, and not enterprising enough.
At that time, when his father was not seriously ill and hospitalized, his small life was quite good, more than the upper and lower than the bottom.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
When his father was seriously ill and spent money like water every day in the hospital, he immediately found that his seemingly good life was like a woman's membrane, which could be broken with a slight stab.
It turned out that there was only one disease between him and extreme poverty.
After such a painful realization, after being reborn, Zhou An was determined to change.
For example, this time, after the idea of opening a store was swirling in his mind for two days, he made up his mind - to open!
So, the next problem is renting a storefront.
Because of the popularity of the food court, the storefronts here are always in demand, and as long as there are stores vacant for rent, it will definitely not take a few days for someone to rent them.
Otherwise, the rent here wouldn't be so high.
In 04, a small store of forty or fifty square meters will cost a rent of twenty or thirty thousand, which can be compared to the rent in many places in the county in 2018.
However, then again, in 2018, although Yinma County was far more prosperous and had more wealthy people than it is today, the popularity of the food street here at that time was really not as good as it is now.
Because in 2018, there are already five or six night markets in Yinma County, and diners who go out at night are seriously diverted, unlike now in 04, the entire Yinma County is this food street, and if you want to eat all kinds of snacks at night, you can only choose to come here.
……
What Zhou An targeted was the entrance of the food street, the second store in the east.
The store is a little larger than most of the stores on both sides of the food court, about seventy or eighty square meters, and it is currently operating a crockpot soup, with two half-person-high large crockpots on the left and right at the entrance of the store, and many small crockpots are boiling in various soups all day long.
Kelp pork rib soup, soybean chicken soup, soybean pork knuckle soup or something.
There are about 10 tables in the store, maybe because the store is too big, and occasionally three or five people go in to eat, and the store still looks empty compared to the other stores in the food court.
The store is still insisting on it, and there is no notice of transfer.
Zhou An wanted to get his hands on it.
