Chapter 70: Don't lose money

Previous Chapter

This project is larger than the station, and there are still some scattered projects at the station, and Xiang Hanyi is also ready to contract to Changgui to do it. It just so happens that Changgui's pig farm is about to be completed, and that group of people can also get to the provincial capital, which can just make up for the lack of manpower here.

Changgui completely handed over the construction site to Wang Yanhu to manage, and Wang Yanhu is still paid a salary of 20 yuan a day. Ma Yongxing is the same.

Wang Yanhu felt a little guilty, the contracted station project, in the end, Changgui almost lost money.

"Otherwise, my salary will not be paid. For such a big project, you didn't make any money, and if you count the money spent, you still lost money. ”

Changgui smiled: "Are you still worried that I will lose?" Where is there a place to do business without capital? This project is the capital I invested. I'll make a lot of money in the future, so don't be blushing. You just do it for me. When I make money, I'll slowly give you a raise. If you don't earn it, don't think about it, but the guaranteed salary will definitely be paid to you. Engaging in engineering is a tiring job, not for the people of our Xuefeng Zhai Brigade to have a place to make money, I don't want to do it. But in the future, I will definitely be able to make money, and I will make a lot of money, and when the time comes, the people of Xuefeng Village will burn incense and worship the Buddha if they don't scold me for drinking blood. ”

"Who dares to scold me and slap me directly. If it weren't for you, where would you go to earn those thirty dollars a month? Wang Yanhu said.

"Don't tell anyone how much you guys get." Changgui admonished.

"I'm not stupid. I told my mother-in-law about this kind of thing, and I don't want to talk about anyone, even their mother's family. She also understands that if someone else commits pink eye, it will be difficult for you in the future. Wang Yanhu said.

The people of Xuefengzhai who came to the provincial capital to do things must have known that Wang Yanhu must have taken more than them, but they definitely didn't expect that there would be so much.

Changgui actually didn't know that this matter would leak out sooner or later, Wang Yanhu and a few of them, their mothers-in-law, and even their children, would one day leak their mouths, and finally make everyone known. In fact, Changgui is not afraid of others knowing. This is his money, how he wants to give it, who to give it to, no one else cares. Big deal, don't follow me out to do things. There is really no shortage of labor these days. Unlike the construction site in later generations, two hundred yuan a day, you have to beg your grandfather to tell your grandmother. When you get to the city, you don't have two or three hundred days, and you can't hire anyone at all. Moving bricks can move out with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.

In these years, not to mention one dollar a day, you can get a life for five cents a day with food and accommodation.

After Changgui handed over all the two construction sites to Wang Yanhu, he went to the store again.

The old masters from Xiangjiang have not left yet, and they are also paid on a daily basis. Changgui would rather spend more money and leave these masters here to teach the staff he invited. These young people are all from Xuefeng Village. At least for a few years, I will stay in Changgui store honestly. Changgui will not treat them badly, and the income will definitely be higher than if they go to work in other stores.

But Changgui knows that none of these people may be able to keep them in the future. When they make enough money, especially when they find that Changgui makes more, they will also have ambitions, and maybe someone will set up their own business and open their own store.

It doesn't matter, Changgui will train qualified employees one by one to ensure that there is still a batch of left. At most, it is just to spend more money to support some idlers, but it can ensure the stability of the store.

"Are you sure you've learned everything?" Changgui asked.

"Really learned. We have been doing it ourselves for the past few days, and the mooncakes we make are no different from those made by these Xiangjiang chefs. If you want to talk about the difference, it may be in the mix of fillings. This can't be helped. They can't teach us everything. Wang Yanhu's eldest son, Wang Jilin, worked as an apprentice in a mooncake shop.

"Brother Yongxing, how do you feel?" Changgui asked.

"Pretty much. I think it's okay. Ma Yongxing said.

Changgui didn't rush to let Master Xiangjiang go back, as soon as people went back, it was not so easy to invite him over again.

"Wait a few more days. I'm staring here for a few days. If it's okay, you can let a few masters go back. "Changgui wants to show the true skills of these masters. Entertained with delicious food and drink every day, people will be embarrassed. In addition, they are all people who are about to retire, and they are not worried that a small shop in a provincial capital in the mainland will steal their jobs.

"A few masters, it's not that I don't let you go back, I'm really worried that the mooncakes won't be made, and all the money invested will be wasted. So, I would like to ask you to stay a few more days. I've been studying with me for the past few days. There are still many things I don't understand about making moon cakes, and I ask the masters to guide me carefully. Changgui said.

Chen Asan is a master who makes moon cakes, he smiled and said, "In fact, in Xiangjiang, many people can make moon cakes." It's just that the flavor is not quite the same. In comparison, the flavor of mooncakes made by time-honored brands will be better. But the mooncakes made by some old people also taste good. There are also a lot of fancy variety. Because you have to use a machine to do it, the variety of fancy styles is relatively limited. But I think a little more variety of fillings can also make up for this shortcoming. After all, the situation in the mainland is not very different from that in Hong Kong. ”

Changgui nodded: "Master Chen, you have the point." Consumption in the mainland is certainly not as good as that of Hong Kong in a short period of time. These machines are also sufficient for a short period of time. But in a few years, there will definitely be more and more manufacturers producing moon cakes, and the competition will become more and more fierce. By the way, Master Chen, have you ever made that kind of fruit-filled mooncake? ”

"Why haven't you done it? The filling is actually similar, making fruit into preserved fruits or something, or beating fruit into a pulp and mixing it in the filling. But it's hard to buy fruits in the mainland. I went to the nearby market and there were very few types of fruits. Unlike in the Xiangjiang supermarket, there are all kinds of fruits. Chen Asan said.

There is not a single supermarket in the entire provincial capital, all of them are still department stores, and the fruits are only sold in the fruit shops in the market, and there are very few varieties. There are very few fruits that are transported from other places. The main thing is that the fruit is perishable, the road conditions are poor now, and the fruit has almost no packaging, and the loss of long-distance transportation can exceed fifty percent.

In later generations, many so-called fruit-filled mooncakes generally added some preserved fruits. Fresh fruit is definitely not a no-no. It is easy to deteriorate and shortens the shelf life. Many mooncakes are made months in advance, and if the shelf life is too short, they may have gone bad before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Changgui followed the study for a few days, and mastered the preparation of moon cake fillings and the production process of moon cakes before he put his mind at ease.

Several Xiangjiang masters were also left in tears by Changgui. Chang Guiqian is willing to give, but he is about to squeeze out all the knowledge they know about moon cakes.

"You are different from Boss Fu, I think you can make moon cakes well." Chen Asan said very seriously when he left.

"Why?" Changgui asked.

"Because you never do a loss-making business. I've taken your salary, and you're about to learn all my skills. Chen Asan waved his hand and walked to the boarding channel without looking back.

Ma Yongxing laughed happily on the side.

Changgui kicked it directly.
