Chapter 38: Preparing to open a store
Lin Qiu had two ideas for opening a store, he didn't have much money in his hand, so he had to start with a small business, and get some capital before making plans. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Qiu was more optimistic about opening a fast food restaurant in a place with many factories at first, the price of the food was affordable, and there should be people willing to come, but in the past few days, he inquired around the city and found that it was not feasible, first, there were few factories in X Province and they were scattered, and it was inconvenient to travel back and forth far from the military region. Second, the staff canteen food is not very good but it is cheap, the cheap customers who buy it have but the profit is limited, and the cost of running is not as good as selling it directly as a small vendor, or it may earn more, but the small vendor in July is too guilty. Third, recruitment training takes a long time. The idea was eventually abandoned.
There is also an idea to make a store specializing in cold salad to open on the edge of the vegetable market, Lin Qiu has a hand in making cold salad and has some recipes in the restaurant in his previous life, plus it doesn't take much to make this person, and he can do it by recruiting two helpers.
And cold dishes are not limited to vegetables, chicken, duck, pig ears, etc. can be made into cold meat dishes, fungus, sausages can also be used, it can be said that the choice is very wide, and the type can be appropriately changed according to the market price.
Whether the cold salad is good or not depends on the seasoning, and whether the cold salad is delicious depends on whether it is fishy and good when cooking. It's not complicated to make, but the sales should be good, and this coleslaw tastes good with rice or as a snack for alcohol.
If you are busy, you can also make some pickled peppers, phoenix feet, sauced beef, and sauce bones, which are popular with the public.
Lin Qiu is going to take a look at several large vegetable markets in the vicinity today, find a good location to settle down, and then recruit workers and open as soon as possible.
Lin Qiu has been to a few small vegetable markets and is not very satisfied, and the small ones are generally only open in the morning. The big vegetable market is more suitable to open from morning to night, and one of the major reasons why Lin Qiu does not plan to rent it in the vegetable market is that the seats inside are small and the environment is not particularly clean, and the smell of fish and meat is mixed together, and it is not very hygienic to sell in it. I still have to pre-process this cold salad, which is impossible to do in it.
It takes about half an hour by car from the military region to here, and it is the closest large vegetable market to the military region. Lin Qiu was quite satisfied with it, there was a lot of traffic here.
Lin Qiu's favorite house is next to the vegetable market, and the two bungalows are hung with signs for rent, the reason why this son did not rent out is because the owner of the house asked for an extra 100 yuan a month rent for a bungalow, which is the salary of an ordinary worker for two or three months, and two or better stalls can be rented in the vegetable market. The landlord also asks for at least half a year's rent and three months' rent in advance, but will sign a contract in black and white. To be honest, it's really dark, because of the high rent, I didn't rent it out, otherwise it wouldn't be Lin Qiu's turn.
Lin Qiu and the landlord's eldest sister grinded for a long time and didn't talk about this price, and then the landlord's eldest sister was a little impatient, Lin Qiu also felt sorry for this price, but he was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, this is Lin Qiu's most satisfactory house so far, gritted his teeth and rented it for a year, only asking that the rent not increase within a year, and the landlord's eldest sister agreed after thinking about it.
The two signed a store rental agreement, and Lin Qiu paid half a year's rent in advance, and then paid the rent on a monthly basis after half a year, so he went out for 600 yuan at once.
It can only be said that Lin Qiu felt distressed when he paid for it, and the homeowner collected the money happily.
Lin Qiu planned that the front of this house would be used to sell cold vegetables, and the back would be used for processing, and the first thing he rented was Lin Qiu to apply for a self-employment license, and Lin Qiu himself felt that this thing would be done earlier than later.
Lin Qiu has to come in person to buy utensils and recruit workers, fortunately, the utensils don't need to be bought directly, if you recruit people, Lin Qiu found two middle-aged women, Lin Fang and Zhao Lan, who are around forty years old, and have no children waiting to be fed. Lin Qiukai's salary is thirty yuan a month higher, and the salary will increase depending on the performance, the two don't believe that Lin Qiu's salary will increase, after all, the boss must want to make more money, but this treatment is already very good, and the work is not heavy.
Lin Qiu spent two or three days teaching Lin Fang and Zhao Lan how to deal with cold dishes, especially the key to removing the smell of meat.
During this period, Lin Qiu was still busy looking for a source of goods, and it was very important to find a stable source of goods, firstly, to ensure the safety of food, and secondly, there would be a discount on the direct long-term order price, and the difference between this and the market price was not a profit?
Don't really say it, Lin Qiudong is looking for a suitable one, Sun Liang, Boss Sun has opened a chicken farm and duck farm, the scale has been not small in the past two years, but there are not many orders, Lin Qiu came to talk about it, Boss Sun naturally welcomed it very much, Lin Qiu ordered a single quantity, fifteen chickens and ten ducks, but tens of thousands of poultry were sold in a year.
The deal was settled in this way, and the two signed a contract for breach of contract to receive compensation, chicken meat for a pound of a dollar, duck meat for a pound of nine dimes, no offal, the price remained unchanged within a year, and Lin Qiu guaranteed that his order quantity was not less than this. Lin Qiu also ordered ten catties of chicken feet to make pickled pepper phoenix feet and ten catties of duck feet to make marinated duck feet one day.
It's just that this pig's ears are not easy to order, Lin Qiu couldn't find the source of goods for a while, so he slowed down, the pig's ears in the vegetable market cost a pound a pound, and the pork was more expensive than a pound and a dime, which was not much more expensive than the price of meat in the countryside. As for chicken, four dimes a catty, and two dimes a catty of duck meat, at this time, there are few duck raisers, and the price of duck meat is relatively high.
Looking at the meat, there are only chickens and ducks, but there are many types of meat when the legs and wings are separated, and the pig ears are added. But Lin Qiu's sale is mainly cold vegetables, and cold vegetables will be more popular if they are cheaper.
After training Lin Fang and Zhao Lan, Lin Qiu thought about how to set the price, and finally decided that the cold salad meat and vegetables were two yuan a catty, and the cold salad was six dimes a catty, at this time, the vegetables were cheap, the market price was three cents a catty, Lin Qiu himself went to the nearest rural planting cooperative to talk about two dimes and five cents a catty, Lin Qiu let him plant whatever he wanted, Lin Qiu also had to sign a contract, and he had to pay a deposit of 500 yuan, and he would send it every morning to settle at the end of the month.
Lin Qiu dared to sign these contracts because he had confidence in himself, and the taste of the cold salad he made was nothing to say.
Lin Qiu makes cold dishes to make money according to the middle price difference, as long as the sales are good, this will naturally make more.
After the problem of this supply is solved, five days have passed, time is money, the rent for a day is three yuan, and the salary for a day is two yuan.
It was very hot in July, and Lin Qiu also bought a freezer to put meat, which was really expensive, a freezer cost a full thousand yuan, but if you don't buy it, you are worried that the meat will deteriorate and sell it to the guests to eat problems.
In this way, the five thousand yuan that Lin Qiu gave in his hand plus his own salary left two thousand yuan.
Before the opening, Lin Qiu and the eldest uncle and sister-in-law finally got in touch by phone, Lin Qiu knew that the eldest uncle and sister-in-law had not yet made a deal, and persuaded them to come over to help, the fertilizer and water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, if they felt good, they would stay, and if they felt bad, then they would make another plan.
Lin Qiu bought a piece of Qiu Ji salad and hung it up to prepare for the opening tomorrow.
