Chapter 55: Normalcy
Li Yuhao lived in the community house he dreamed of before, although it was rented.
Wake up every day in the spacious master bedroom to be teased by the sun and breeze, lazily wash in the bathroom in the master bedroom, take out Mengniu milk from the refrigerator, pour yourself a full glass, take a bag of white bread or sandwich biscuits by the way, sit down on the sofa in the bright hall, turn on the TV series, listen to the day's news, and eat breakfast comfortably with milk.
Sometimes when I am in a good mood, I will cook by myself, fry a poached egg for myself, put it on a white dinner plate, and then pretend to cut it in small pieces with a knife and fork, and eat it with coconut.
This is something that Li Yuhao imagined before but has never been able to do.
Because he is busy with work and meetings, he often skips breakfast or drinks a glass of water.
After breakfast, I lay on the sofa and watched TV, played with my mobile phone, chatted on WeChat, and listened to the partners of Yang Yiyi's team crying about the painful experience of being called by Yang Yiyi for an office meeting early in the morning.
Because Li Yuhao's performance has always maintained the first place in the entire company, Yang Yiyi specially approved Li Yuhao not to go back to the company in the morning to hold a team mobilization meeting, which is a little privilege, and the other partners of Yang Yiyi's team with poor performance, except for Wei Yi, whose performance is slightly better, was also approved not to return to the company, and the other two Liu Huanwei and Xiao Weiqiang were miserable, and followed Yang Yiyi back to the company early in the morning every day, and were criticized every day.
Liu Huanwei and Xiao Weiqiang are in that private chat group every day, that is, a private chat group excluding Yang Yiyi, complaining that the work is difficult to do, what is boring to do, how to sell such a high price of FMCG, what is a good job introduction, etc.
Li Yuhao heard in August that they were going to leave in September, and then they have been there, and they are still relying on this company, doing this job, although the salary is low, but they can sleep every day.
After listening to the news and chatting, if there is nothing to do, Li Yuhao will go to the store to take a look at the business.
Now it is the off-season, and the business is almost the same every day, with about 130 orders a day and a transaction volume of 3,120 yuan, and Lituan takeaway orders a day of about 40 orders with a transaction volume of 1,760 yuan, a total daily transaction volume of 4,880 yuan and a gross profit of about 3,400 yuan.
However, as the days get closer and closer to the beginning of the school season in September, it can be seen that the transaction volume is getting higher and higher, and the order volume, especially the order volume of eating, is getting higher and higher.
Li Yuhao estimated that if he reached a peak time, he would have to adjust the starting price back, otherwise the low delivery price of eating may bring a skyrocketing order volume, and he is afraid of two delivery people, oh, no, it is already three delivery people who are too busy.
After the holiday, Wang Zixuan brought his friend over for an interview, and after a brief interview, Li Yuhao agreed to Wang Qingxin's entry, with the same salary and benefits as Wang Zixuan.
Wang Qingxin joined, and Wang Zixuan was very happy. Due to the abundance of delivery manpower, Li Yuhao also announced that the delivery staff will take turns to take one day off every week.
However, Hong Dazhuang was sullen, because Hong Dazhuang always thought that with the current order volume, the two of them would be busy, and adding one more person was just to share his food delivery commission.
Li Yuhao noticed Hong Dazhuang's small emotions. For an honest person like Hong Dazhuang, Li Yuhao admires it very much in his heart, especially in the rental incident, Hong Dazhuang's unreserved trust makes him feel warm in his heart, unlike Wang Zixuan, who hesitated. Although normal people will hesitate, it is inevitable that Li Yuhao will be a little more inclined to Hong Dazhuang.
He chatted with Hong Dazhuang and learned that Hong Dazhuang was worried about the reason why his salary would decrease, and comforted him that the store would continue to develop in the future, his status would also rise, and his salary would also rise, so he could take a long-term view.
After saying this, Hong Dazhuang's mood is a little better, but he is working harder, and he seems to want to prove to Li Yuhao that his vision is not bad.
Wang Zixuan and Wang Qingxin also felt the pressure because of this, and even worked hard with their jobs.
It's not just the delivery people who have taken time off.
Lobby manager Zheng Lizhu and lobby attendant Yang Xiaoli also take turns to take one day off every week, but in this way, on the day of the holiday, another employee who has not taken a holiday has to work harder, and one person does the amount of two people.
As for the kitchen, because there is only Luo Yaozu alone, and the catering industry is not like other industries, you can rest on weekends, which is the kind that is open all year round, so Li Yuhao recruited a cook in her 40s, named Xin Jia, to assist Luo Yaozu in completing the kitchen work. In this way, Luo Yaozu and Xin Jia can also take turns to take one day off every week.
The current work in the kitchen is actually simple, so when Luo Yaozu and Xin Jia went to work together, and when the lobby staff was resting, Li Yuhao also asked Xin Jia to assist in the lobby work, so as not to be too busy with the work in the lobby.
Li Yuhao's salary for Xin Jia is 3,500 yuan a month, including meals, and the bonus is calculated separately.
As for the rest time of store manager Li Yuhao, Li Yuhao set a standard for himself to be open all year round. After all, the store's daily finances need to be accounted for, and special seasonings Li Yuhao also need to be provided on time, so Li Yuhao can only "work more for those who can" every day, there is no way that he is not only the store manager, but also the chairman, but in addition to going to the store every morning to shop and go back to the store at night to calculate the finances, he goes to the library to read books at other times, or which café to drink coffee, or watch movies, it is not up to employees to interfere.
In this way, Li Yuhao's flying fast food restaurant has finally reached a new level in terms of employee system, and employees have vacation time every week, and their job satisfaction has risen by a few points.
On August 23, Li Yuhao's five planting houses ushered in a bumper harvest, and the special seasonings that could be provided every day began to be redundant. As a result, Li Yuhao asked chef Luo Yaozu and chef Xin Jia to study new dishes.
To be honest, Li Yuhao eats those dishes every day, and he has to vomit, and the employees also report the same.
After closing the store on the evening of August 24, Li Yuhao gathered all the staff for a sumptuous dinner.
Dinner is provided by Luo Yaozu, the head chef of Feifan fast food restaurant, all made of special seasonings, not only traditional dishes of braised chicken thighs, spicy pork ribs, minced meat eggplant, green onion fried egg, yuba mixed meat, but also added new dishes, there are light yellow colors, soft and shiny tofu, its taste is numb, spicy, crispy, fragrant, tender, fresh, hot mapo tofu, there are tender and delicious, nutritious kung pao chicken, there is a delicious and delicious green pepper steamed meat, and the meat is delicate, fragrant and delicious, oily but not greasy boiled beef, plus Sprite, cola, Fanta and other drinks are enough, you can take them at will, this meal is full of mouth, and the guests and hosts are happy.
When he was full, Li Yuhao asked the clerk about the evaluation of this meal, and he got a satisfactory evaluation, so Li Yuhao announced that from tomorrow, the head chef Luo Yaozu will purchase new ingredients and make all the dishes today, and there will be more recipes that can be provided by the fast food restaurant, which immediately triggered the deafening cheers of the clerk, and the Xiangxiang sauerkraut fish couple who were arguing nearby were startled, and scolded a word of neurosis, but they all looked at the closed Feifan fast food restaurant with envy, envy their prosperous business.
Although Zhang Xiaoling is not specific about the daily turnover of Fei's general fast food restaurant, it can be seen that the daily business of Fei's fast food restaurant is really extraordinary, from the endless delivery of food from each restaurant, as well as the monthly sales of more than 4,000 orders on Eat, and the monthly sales of more than 3,200 orders on Lituan Takeaway.
And their Xiangxiang sauerkraut fish, even if they also settled in Lituan Takeaway, but there is still very little business every day, and it is a loss of money to open a store every day, but they have to open it. After her husband Song Mingteng's business was bleak, he turned to gambling again, losing money almost every day, and every time he would come back to quarrel with her and ask for money, which made her upset, compared to Li Yuhao's ease, Zhang Xiaoling couldn't help but be jealous.
It's just that this jealous Li Yuhao doesn't know, and even if he knows, he just smiles freely.
Due to the requirements of the new dishes, Li Yuhao took out a sum of money for Luo Yaozu to purchase new catering cooking utensils, such as a large bucket for boiling soup needed for boiled beef, and asked Luo Yaozu to take back the receipts and come back to keep accounts.
Yes, Luo Yaozu is currently taking care of the work of the head chef and the buyer, and Li Yuhao's shop is still too small to recruit more people, so he has to let the head chef take care of the procurement work independently. Although he also knew that in this procurement work, Luo Yaozu might embezzle the hardship fee, but as long as the bill was not excessive, Li Yuhao would turn a blind eye and pretend that he didn't find out. After all, the world is like this, and the inconsistency of prices in the sales process makes it difficult for Li Yuhao to find evidence.
On August 25th, the new dishes were launched, and the general fast food restaurant formed 8 main signature dishes, divided into three grades, the low grade is 18 yuan mapo tofu, plus the drink package meal box fee, the package sells for 22 yuan, the middle grade is those dishes that are originally priced at 20 yuan and the package is sold for 24 yuan, this new dish, green pepper steamed pork, Kung Pao chicken are priced at 20 yuan, as for the high-end, it is the original price of 22 yuan, and the package sells 26 yuan of braised chicken thighs and boiled beef.
The launch of new dishes has given customers more choices, and the transaction volume has also risen.
On the same day, there were 163 orders for eating, with a transaction value of 4,075 yuan, and 84 orders for Lituan takeaway, with a transaction value of 3,864 orders. The total transaction volume is 7939 yuan.
The next day, orders fell, with 152 orders and a transaction volume of 3,952 yuan, and 71 orders of Lituan takeaway, with a transaction volume of 3,266 yuan and a total transaction of 7,218 yuan.
In the days that followed, the volume of transactions remained broadly the same.
In general, after the launch of the new dishes, the transaction volume has entered a new normal, from the normal of nearly 5,000 yuan per day to the new normal of more than 7,000 yuan.
Li Yuhao thought to himself, as September gets closer and closer, old students return to school, new students enroll, and the transaction volume of his store will get higher and higher, is it time to consider adjusting the starting price back?
