Chapter 215: Partnering to open a store
"When I went up the mountain just now, I saw the bamboo all over the mountains in Lei Gongping, and I remembered that when the school organized us to go to the county park to play in the year I graduated from primary school, I broke bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.
As a result, the administrator found out that he was going to be fined, and stopped us when he was about to drive, and you still paid for me. "Huang Dong took the initiative to talk about what happened when he graduated from primary school.
Shen Chi smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, I didn't expect that so long has passed, and you are still worried about it."
"It may be a small thing to you, but to me, you are the one who gave me light when I was in the dark.
I'm grateful to you for helping me out of the way and avoiding making me look foreign. Huang Dong smiled at Shen Chi and said, "My mother left early, my father is a gambler, I have been dependent on my grandmother since I was a child, and I was often bullied by my friends in the village.
I didn't bring any money for that spring outing, and I was going hungry at noon, and you invited me to eat bread and drink soda.
That was the best bread I've ever eaten, and after graduating from elementary school, I went out to work and learned to cook from a chef, Shen Chi, do you know? But what I'm best at is making toast."
Shen Chi didn't expect that one of his unintentional acts of kindness would make Huang Dong feel nostalgic to this day, and he didn't want to continue on this sad topic, so Shen Chi changed the topic and said, "By the way, is your grandmother okay?"
"Xiao Kao went to work in the field that year, accidentally fell and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, my dad gambled all day long, lost all his money, had no money to go to the hospital, and left after a few days." Huang Dong said it easily, but Shen Chi could still hear the difficulty.
Happy families are the same, but unhappy families have their own misfortunes, Shen Chi sighed lightly in his heart.
"Do you have any wishes?" Shen Chi didn't know how to comfort Huang Dong, so he had to change the topic again.
Speaking of his wish, Huang Dong's whole person became excited again: "My biggest wish is to be able to open my own bakery."
"Work hard, and you'll be able to achieve it." Shen Chi encouraged. Huang Dong smiled and quickly made his bed.
Seeing that it was getting late, he asked Shen Chi where the kitchen was, and consciously began to make dinner. When Shen Chi saw him coming on the first day, he wanted to persuade him to take a break, but Huang Dong refused with a smile.
Huang Dong worked very quickly, and he made dinner for twenty or thirty people by himself.
Shen Chi tasted the food cooked by Huang Dong and found that his three-year cooking skills were really not learned in vain, and his cooking level was not much better than that of having chef skills.
In the evening, after everyone ate Huang Dong's cooking, they were full of praise for his cooking skills.
Especially after Shen Changlin and Gui Shuzhen listened to Zeng's story about Huang Dong's experience, they saw that he was only one year younger than his daughter Shen Fang, but he had already taken on the burden on his shoulders like an adult, and they became more and more sympathetic to him.
In this way, Huang Dong stayed on Lei Gongping, and Huang Dong said that what he was best at was baking bread. He really didn't lie, and the next morning, Huang Dong really made soft and delicious bread by using the simple tools and ingredients in the kitchen.
Shen Chi suddenly felt that it was really a pity that his craft was left on Lei Gongping, thinking that he wanted to have his own bakery before, Shen Chi found Huang Dong and told him his thoughts: "Huang Dong, didn't you say that you wanted to open a bakery first?
It just so happens that I have a few spare shops in Song Town, and I will rent them to you for free first, and then you will give me the rent when you make money, how about it?"
Huang Dong was very moved when he heard this, but then he said with a broken face: "But to open a store, you still need to buy a lot of tools and raw materials, and the money I have saved in the past two years has been used by my father to gamble."
Shen Chi thought that he had already invested in several projects, and this one was not bad, so he said to Huang Dong: "We are a partner, I will give the store funds, you will contribute the technology, and if you make money, how about we add two to five equal shares?"
Huang Dong heard this and immediately said, "Of course you can, everything is yours, I can't take so much, we are three seven, I am three you seven."
Shen Chi didn't bother to fight with him now, so he would talk about it when he really made money in the future, so he temporarily responded to him.
After lunch, Huang Dong asked Shen Chi to take him to see the store.
"I just heard that our Songzhen was developed, so I quit my job in the bakery and came back." On the way, Huang Dong said excitedly to Shen Chi, and then said with a gloomy expression: "It's a pity that I just came back, and the money I was going to open the store was stolen by my father and I lost the gambling."
"It's okay, let's start again, but you have to be careful not to let your dad steal the money you earn this time." Shen Chi reminded.
"Don't worry, not this time." When it came to his father, Huang Dong was also angry.
The two walked and chatted, and when they were talking, they were almost in the town, and when they passed by Xiaojia Village, they saw that their village was being demolished, and Chen Jianmin was looking at the design drawings on the site and making plans.
Shen Chi immediately understood that the second phase of the renovation project must also be undertaken by him, and when he saw that he was busy, he did not come forward to say hello, and went to the town with Huang Dong and the others.
"My shop is still in the innermost part, and the location is a little off." Shen Chi said.
Huang Dong replied with a smile: "It's okay, the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, as long as our bread is delicious, we are not afraid that no one will come."
Shen Chi was relieved to see that his family was confident, even if the shops he had on hand were in a different location, Shen Chi would find a way to make them popular.
Shen Chi's ten shops and Sun Fuqiang's ten shops are side by side, door to door.
At this time, Sun Fuqiang's ten shops were all opened, except for a few shops selling crystal products, the other shops selling special products were only some waxed goods during the New Year, local chickens raised by themselves, and then fish caught in the lake, selling more earthy things than Shen Chi's, and Shengsheng turned a street into a farmers' market.
In comparison, Shen Chi only opened an egg shop here, but the earthy smell is not so serious. Chen Jianmin came to see the opening of Shen Chi's shop a few times at first, and after seeing what they sold, he was extremely disdainful in his heart, and then he never came again.
When Shen Chi and Huang Dong came over, they were just in time for Gan Lamei's shop to be busy. After a cold period in the early stage, their business is now slowly improving.
Seeing Shen Chi coming, Gan Lamei, Huang Lianzhen and they enthusiastically invited Shen Chi into the store.
At this time, Huang Dong knew that Gan Lamei's store was also opened with the support of Shen Chi.
"You're doing a good business." Shen Chi said to Gan Lamei and them with a smile.
"It's still the quality of your eggs, otherwise even if we keep watch for a year, this business won't be any better." Gan Lamei said with a smile.
"yes, almost every snack shop in town now picks up eggs from us." Huang Lianzhen also laughed.
"A few days ago, there was a boss of a *** egg business who wanted to get the goods at wholesale prices, and I asked him to go to Lei Gongping to buy them, I guess it was the matter of the past two days." Teacher Huang's third daughter-in-law, Li Taoying, said to Shen Chi.
"Don't look for me, since you took this list, you can do it, and I will give you a commission when the time comes." Shen Chi said to Li Taoying.
"How can that work? You've helped us a lot, and we can't even take it from you. Gan Lamei replied.
"In the business field, you can calculate what you want, people are favors, and business is business. If you really want to reciprocate, I'll get more customers for me. Shen Chi said jokingly.
I have been with Shen Chi for a long time and know his personality, although he looks gentle and easy-going on the outside, but it is difficult to change his mind, Gan Lamei did not dwell too much on this matter, but asked Shen Chi the purpose of this trip: "Xiao Chi, did you come to the town for something?"
"Huang Dong and I are planning to open a bakery together. I took him over to see the store today. Shen Chi replied with a smile.
"That's right, we'll have company in the future." Huang Lianzhen took over the conversation with a happy face. Shen Chi smiled at him, and then said to Huang Dong, "Let's spread the bread next to the egg shop, so that we can use each other's customers."
"You're smart, so it's up to you to decide." Huang Dong replied.
So Shen Chi and Huang Dong decided to open a store in this way.
Before leaving, Gan Lamei pulled Shen Chi again and said
said: "Xiao Chi, go back and tell your parents, I went back to my parents' house yesterday to tell me about inviting people from your farm, and I can invite five people, all of whom are honest and reliable."
"The person my aunt is looking for, our family can rest assured." Shen Chi replied with a smile.
Hearing Shen Chi talk about inviting people, Huang Dong asked Shen Chi on the way back, "Do you need a chef to invite people?"
Shen Chi looked at Huang Dong with a puzzled expression, only to hear Huang Dong continue: "My master is also unemployed at home now, I want to find him an errand too."
As he spoke, he quickly explained to Shen Chi again: "My master's craft, don't worry, I learned all the red and white cases from him."
"And how did he get out of work?" Shen Chi asked.
Huang Dong hesitated for a moment, but still said, "After I finished learning my craft, my boss secretly found me and said that he would give me a salary increase and let me stay, and wanted to fire my master.
I whispered this to my master, and my master was a grumpy, so I went to the boss to theorize. As a result, the boss fired me and my master, and I later found a pastry shop to work in it, while my master went around picking up odd jobs to make a living."
When Shen Chi heard this, he felt that Huang Dong's master was also a temperamental person, so he said to Huang Dong, "If he is willing, you can call him over."
Huang Dong said happily when he heard this, "I'll go to the city tomorrow to find my master. By the way, I have all the materials and tools needed to open the store."
"Okay, I'll pay you the money you need to open the store tomorrow, what materials do you want to buy?" It's up to you what tools you want to procure. I'm only responsible for investing the money, and I don't care about anything else." Shen Chi said.
"There are a lot of things to buy, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to get them back." Huang Dong said worriedly.
"It's simple, I'll find *** dad tomorrow." Let him send someone into town with you. You go in a car, and you can buy it all at once if you need it. Shen Chi replied.
