Chapter 135: Profits

Add more, ask for a monthly pass

****

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the small zongzi workshop of the summer solstice has been completely on the right track. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the workshop, there is an elected steward who is in charge of the production of zongzi for the summer solstice. In terms of sales, in addition to the orders of large households, there are also three stalls on the summer solstice. After Wenshan Academy, the stalls on West Market Street and East Market Street were also selling well.

Beizhen Mansion does not produce glutinous rice locally, and most of the local farmers use locally produced rhubarb rice and small yellow rice to make zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. The rice dumplings made of these two rice buns are also very distinctive, but they are not as delicious as glutinous rice dumplings. Therefore, in Beizhen Mansion, rich people mostly eat glutinous rice dumplings, and those who do not make glutinous rice dumplings at home are also willing to spend a few dollars to buy ready-made glutinous rice dumplings to try and satisfy their hunger.

In addition to the locals, those merchants who stayed in Fucheng during the Dragon Boat Festival, as well as the gentlemen and students from Tiannan and Haibei of Wenshan Academy, are the main target customers of the Zhuangyuan Zongfang Workshop.

Although I have done market research before, but when I really saw the sales of zongzi, Xia Zhi was still surprised by the purchasing power of the people in Fucheng.

Not to mention the profits brought by a few large orders, the zongzi sold by the three stalls every day also brought a lot of profits to the summer solstice.

On this day, the summer solstice had a little free, so he moved the bench and table and sat under the grape trellis to review the accounts. There were other stewards in her workshop, but there was no employment bookkeeper. She herself served as the errand of the account office, recording the accounts in and out every day, and she was very serious.

The little black fish is good at arithmetic, and he will plan to make a plate, and he is also sitting beside Xia Solstice and helping Xia Solstice settle accounts.

Before the summer solstice, she investigated the price of zongzi in Fucheng, and she followed the price of white zongzi and sweet zongzi according to the price on the market, and the zongzi package was slightly larger, and the wages for the female workers were slightly more generous, and the profit was controlled at one-third. Because the salted meat dumplings are not available on the market, the target customer base is not as wide as the white dumplings and sweet dumplings, so the price is set slightly higher. The profit margin of the salted pork dumplings was controlled by the summer solstice at three-fifths.

After a few days, the capital invested in the summer solstice has been recovered, and after calculating the inventory, the next thing is almost net profit. Xia Zhi took the abacus from Xiao Heiyuer's hand, crackled for a while, and had a general number in his heart, so he put down the abacus with satisfaction.

Changsheng walked over from the front yard in a cyan robe and sat down at the table with a smile. He glanced at Xia Zhi's account book, and then said with a smile: "Sixteen, you keep accounts, ordinary people are afraid that they can't understand it." ”

Summer Solstice's bookkeeping method is different from that of a general accounting room, and she uses what she has learned before she crosses. It can be said that only she can understand her account books.

There's no way to do it. If she wants to learn the way of bookkeeping of these bookkeepers, she can learn it, but she finds it too troublesome, and it is not as intuitive as her account books.

She opened this small workshop, and Changsheng helped her a lot after running. For this, Xia Solstice is very grateful.

"Brother Changsheng, my method of keeping accounts is actually clear, and it's quite simple. If you're willing to learn, I can teach you. Xia Zhi said to Changsheng.

Changsheng smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you, Sixteen." But no. Now I know all the accounts in the grocery store. "If you really want to adopt a new way of bookkeeping, whether it is Uncle Guo or the old bookkeeper in the shop, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to accept.

Xia Zhi understood Changsheng's concerns, so he naturally wouldn't be reluctant. Changsheng is a well-established talent, and he is slightly inferior in terms of innovation and development. However, it is even more difficult to start a business and keep a business. If Changsheng can keep the current Guo family's family business, he will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life.

Everyone's happiness is different, and Xia Solstice does not intend to impose his views on Changsheng.

"Brother, are you back?" Pearl walked out of the kitchen with Xiaohong, holding a plate of freshly cooked dim sum in her hand, and Xiaohong behind her carrying a pot of freshly brewed tea.

After saying hello to Changsheng, Pearl came over with a smile and put the dim sum on the table to beckon Xia Zhi, Little Black Fish and Changsheng to eat together.

"I helped Sister-in-law Liu do it. Pearl's face was slightly red. Speaking of which, this is the first time she has cooked, and her eyes are looking at the three of them expectantly.

The pearl is made of mung bean cake, and the sifted mung bean noodles are ground and sifted into small pieces with sugar and osmanthus and steamed in the pot. The preparations were all done by Sister-in-law Liu and Xiaohong, and Pearl was just a helper, but this was already very rare for her.

Everyone knows it, so it's all face-giving.

Xia Zhi took a piece of mung bean and tasted it, and felt that the entrance was delicate, sweet and delicious, so he smiled and nodded: "Pearl makes this mung bean cake, which is better than the ones sold outside." Sweet is just right. ”

The little black fish and Changsheng also cheered and said that it was delicious.

Pearl's face turned red. "Uncle, fourth sister, brother, you all love to eat, so I'll make a little more. ”

Changsheng hurriedly stopped Pearl and told her not to be tired.

Pearl said that she was not tired: "Mother let me learn from the fourth sister." Compared with the fourth sister, this is a trivial matter for me. ”

"We pearls have learned to be humble. Xia Solstice laughed.

Changsheng was very pleased, and felt that Pearl was sensible. It's because I have a good role model by my side. For this matter, Changsheng was still very grateful to the summer solstice in his heart.

Pearl is now the time when her enthusiasm is high, put down the snacks, and poured tea for the three of them, so she happily took Xiaohong to the kitchen, saying that she wanted to make more mung bean cakes.

Because of the opening of the zongzi workshop on the summer solstice, the family no longer wraps zongzi except for the rice they originally bought.

Seeing that the pearl was gone, Changsheng said that the pearl had such a change, and he should be grateful for the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi refused to take credit: "It's all taught by my aunt." ”

It was getting late, and Uncle Guo came back from the front. The summer solstice collected the abacus and the ledger. Aunt Xia came out and ordered dinner to be placed on the grape trellis. Everyone eats while enjoying the shade.

In May, the weather started to get hot.

"It's still cool in the village. The little black fish didn't wear a robe, only a small pants gown, and said while eating fragrantly.

Aunt Xia also agreed, saying that in summer, there is indeed no coolness in the countryside in the city.

In this place of Beizhen Mansion, after the summer, especially in Futian, there is such a wealth as aunts and grandmothers taking their children back to their parents' house to live for a few days. But since Aunt Xia married Uncle Guo, she rarely goes back except during the New Year's Festival.

On the one hand, the family is busy, and Uncle Guo is not very willing to let Aunt Xia always go back to her parents' house.

So when it came to the topic that the city was hotter than the countryside in summer, Uncle Guo stopped talking, and then he quickly diverted the topic.

"Sixteen, this little workshop is prosperous. Uncle Changsheng also asked me about it in the past two days. Uncle Guo said with a smile.

Aunt Xia signaled Xia Zhi not to speak. She glanced at Uncle Guo and said with a smile: "Yuhuan has been coming a lot these days, and I have to eat two zongzi whenever I come back." Xia Zhi took it home for her twice. Then I didn't let her take it. We're all small businesses. The firewood and rice used to wrap zongzi on the summer solstice, and the hired labor, are not blown by the wind. ”

Uncle Guo's face was a little sneering, and he lowered his head to pick up the rice.

Pearl found an opportunity to speak: "Sister Yuhuan is like that, she loves to take advantage of small advantages." Usually when I see something, she always asks me for it. It's not good if you don't give it to her, and it's not a good idea to give it to her. ”

Uncle Guo also knew about this matter, and he usually secretly did not complain. But in front of Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish, he felt that Pearl's words swept the faces of his relatives here. Uncle Guo was a little uncomfortable, but he was reluctant to reprimand his daughter, so he had to play a round. "Yuhuan, that kid is not with us. What she asks you for is not all you use leftovers, or what you don't want to want. ”

"Then why didn't I ask anyone else? Pearl pouted and glanced at Uncle Guo dissatisfiedly. The meaning in her eyes was very plain, that is, she complained that Uncle Guo was protecting Guo Yuhuan.

"It's just a few rice dumplings, it's nothing. I have never seen the uncle and aunt in that courtyard, and I have long wanted to visit and send some zongzi over. Xia Zhi slightly sensed what Uncle Guo meant, so he said very happily.

Uncle Guo was very happy to hear it, but waved his hand and said no: "That's not necessary." They don't lack this either. You're a small business, and you want to make money. ”

Aunt Xia sneered, and the topic stopped.

After eating, Xia Zhi took the little black fish to the workshop behind. Aunt Xia gave Changsheng a look, and waited for Changsheng to take the pearl away. Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo went up to the house.

When she arrived in the house, Aunt Xia sank her face.

Uncle Guo sensed that something was wrong, so he had to smile at Aunt Xia: "What made you angry?"

"You ask knowingly!" Aunt Xia immediately widened her eyes.

Uncle Guo sat on the side in a daze: "What did I say, I didn't say anything." I mentioned his uncle in that courtyard, and you are angry because of this?"

"Why am I angry with you, don't pretend to be confused with me. Aunt Xia's face sank like water, "Once or twice, it was Yuhuan who was ignorant." Again and again, his uncle and aunt in that courtyard didn't know anything? They also ate zongzi, and they were addicted to eating. I didn't eat it for a day or two, and I found you. What did they tell you, and you were embarrassed to bring it to the dinner table, so that Sixteen would continue to provide them with rice dumplings to eat?

Uncle Guo's face became more and more scornful. He didn't have enough confidence in this matter, so he could only explain to Aunt Xia: "I didn't mean that when I said that. Big brother didn't mean that way. You're too careful. The eldest brother just thinks that the sixteen bags of zongzi are very good, and praise me a few words. ”

In this way, you can't fool Aunt Xia. But after all, she can't talk too clearly about Uncle Guo.

"We all know what kind of temperament the people in that courtyard are. You are afraid of offending him, so you will put it all on me. ”
