Chapter 900: Livelihood Rush 3

1.

It is true to say that Xu Dan was born a businessman.

Not long after Xu Dan worked in the eldest sister's restaurant and the second sister's factory, Xu Dan found another way to do business.

Because Xu Dan has to buy steamed buns for the workers of the second sister's factory every day, that is, in the process of buying steamed buns, Xu Dan found that making steamed buns is also a very good way to make a fortune.

Originally, there was a steamed bun shop on the streets of Hushan Town that specialized in selling steamed buns and scones, but later the street façade house was demolished, and as in Xu Dan's case, the owner of the steamed bun shop simply moved the equipment home and closed down because he did not rent a suitable store to do business.

Although the only steamed bread shop on the streets of Hushan Town is closed, there is still a market for the demand for steamed bread in restaurants and factories of all sizes on the streets of Hushan Town. Later, a small street shop found a business opportunity, so he went to Heishuigou Village* in Hushan Township to collect two large baskets of steamed buns and scones before 10 a.m. every day, and then sold them to restaurants, restaurants and factory canteens in Hushan Town at a higher price. Although the price of steamed buns and scones is much higher than that of the previous steamed bun shops, restaurants, restaurants and factory canteens still compete to buy them, because making steamed buns and scones is not only a hard work, but also a technical job, and many people do not know how to do it or are unwilling to do it. Therefore, even if the price is a little higher, the supply of steamed buns and scones from street shops in Toyama Town is often in short supply.

Xu Dan went to the street shop every day to buy steamed buns and scones, and slowly learned about the profits and doorways of this industry from the shopkeeper.

Taking a pound of flour as an example, the market price of a pound of flour is 0.6 yuan, and a pound of dry flour should be added with half a pound of water, that is to say, a pound of flour and noodles is 1.5 catties, according to the standard calculation of 1.5 catties of noodles to make 8 steamed buns, eight steamed buns can be sold for 2 yuan. The cost of a pound of flour is 0.6 yuan, and then the cost of baking powder, baking powder, electricity, firewood and equipment depreciation is removed, and the net profit of a pound of dry flour is at least one dollar, and the net profit of a bag of flour is 50 yuan. With the demand for steamed buns and scones on the streets of Hushan Town, you can sell at least two to three bags of flour a day, and the net profit is 100 to 150 yuan a day, and the profit is almost 3,000 to 4,500 yuan a month. Of course, this job is too busy for one person, and you have to hire workers, and the daily wage expenditure for hiring two workers is 20 yuan, and the rest is what the shopkeeper earns.

In this way, opening a steamed bun shop is a sure-fire business, and Xu Dan was moved.

So, Xu Dan proposed the idea of starting a steamed bun business to Spring, and Spring immediately objected when he heard it.

The reasons for the opposition in spring are very simple, first, to make steamed bread and scones need an area of at least 50 square meters of processing place, and now the streets of Hushan Town cannot even rent a 10-square-meter storefront room, where to find a place to do steamed bread and scone business? Second, to make steamed bread and scones need to buy a dough mixer, a kneading machine, an oven, a chopping board and other equipment, this is a large expense, how can the family now have so much cash? The third is to make steamed buns every day to get up early to make noodles, especially in winter, the temperature is low and the noodles are slow, so every day almost in the middle of the night to get up and noodles, isn't it too hard to do this?

But Xu Dan seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, saying that even if she didn't open a store now, she would first learn the skills of making steamed buns, and also said that "there are many skills that are not pressing", why not learn more skills to support her family?

Spring knew that Xu Dan's temperament belonged to the master of "not hitting the south wall and not looking back", so he simply went with her.

Unexpectedly, Xu Dan really started to act, first asking for the face of the owner of the "Yongfang" photo studio in Heishuigou Village, and finding the owner of the steamed bun shop in Heishuigou Village, and officially apprenticed to learn art. Because Heishuigou Village is more than 20 miles away from Hushan Town, even after Xu Dan completes his technical studies, it will not pose a threat to the business of this steamed bread shop in Heishuigou Village. Therefore, the owner of the steamed bun shop in Heishuigou Village happily accepted Xu Dan as an apprentice. said that he was apprenticed to learn art, and he didn't ask for a penny for tuition, provided that Xu Dan didn't pay his wages when he worked in a steamed bun shop. Of course, Xu Dan was happy to accept this result.

In this way, Xu Dan threw away the work of the eldest sister's restaurant and the second sister's factory helper. Since mid-October, Xu Dan has been riding her mountain bike early in the morning to Heishuigou Village, 20 miles away, to learn how to make steamed buns and scones, and then return home before dark.

Half a month later, Xu Dan really learned a full set of techniques for making steamed buns and scones. Of course, this is mainly due to the generosity of the owner of the steamed bun shop in Heishuigou Village.

After learning the skills of making steamed buns and scones from Heishuigou Village, Xu Dan's idea of opening a shop became stronger and stronger. However, Xu Dan also understands that the problems mentioned by Spring are really problems, and the key is that it is difficult to find a place to make steamed buns and scones. There is also the problem of funds, it costs more than 10,000 yuan to buy a full set of equipment for making steamed buns and scones, which is now an astronomical amount for Xu Dan and Spring.

In desperation, Xu Dan had no choice but to continue to go back to the eldest sister's restaurant and the second sister's factory to help, while secretly paying attention to the timing of opening a steamed bun shop.

2.

As we enter November, the weather slowly gets colder, and although the Toyama area is located on the coast, the temperature changes slowly in winter, but you can still feel the coolness in the morning and evening. As soon as it's cold, people don't want to go out when they're at home.

Sunday, November 7.

At half past nine in the morning, Spring received a call from Sun Li.

Since the installation of a program-controlled phone at home in the spring, Sun Li has to call the spring almost every day, sometimes to talk about business, sometimes to make a phone call to say hello when there is no, and the spring has become accustomed to this. Sometimes Sun Li is too busy to make a phone call, and he will call to greet him in the spring.

However, this time Sun Li's call was a bit unusual, and it brought a shocking shock to spring.
