Chapter 43 Suppliers
Day by day, it was already bright at six o'clock in the morning.
Because Zhou Huilan's soybean milk business is good, there are many people who learn from her in the morning market, and some stone mills have been moved out, but the taste of who makes it is not as good as Zhou Huilan.
As soon as she came out of the house that morning, and before she got out of Songbai Street, a bald uncle in his fifties stopped her with a young man who often bought soy milk with her.
"Eldest sister, this is my master, the master of our state-run hotel in Anning City, surnamed Niu."
Zhou Huilan was taken aback, her heart was so big, and she stopped the tricycle with a smile, "Hello Master Niu, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Can I taste your soy milk?"
Zhou Huilan didn't understand very much, but the young man behind Master Niu squeezed his eyebrows at her, giving face to the old customers, and Zhou Huilan lifted the lid of the pot and handed half a bowl to Master Niu.
The old man only took a small sip, and his eyes lit up, "This is really better than the taste of you hitting back and heating it again!" ”
Zhou Huilan, who was praised, immediately laughed like a flower.
"Your soybean milk, can you supply it exclusively to our hotel, we will charge you at the price of two cents and five pounds, although the price is not as high as your stall, but you don't have to sell it yourself, do more, and make more money."
Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted that if she only had to grind the soy milk and send it directly to the restaurant, she would no longer have to spend time selling soy milk, so that she would no longer need to be limited by the guests in the morning market.
"How much do you charge? Is it limited? ”
Niu Guangde smiled contemptuously, "Our hotel not only entertains guests for the municipal government, but also serves as a large canteen for government agencies. ”
"Then how many catties can you collect from me in a day?"
"Today, you will collect these two pots first, if they sell well, it must be more and better, let's win-win!"
Selling it at odds and delaying the delivery of the child, of course Zhou Huilan will not refuse such an opportunity.
Niu Guangde asked her to send the soy milk directly to the back kitchen of the restaurant, weighed it, and went directly to the financial office to receive the money.
Zhou Huilan turned the tricycle around, followed the master and apprentice, crossed two streets, and came to the magnificent state-owned hotel.
It was the time of the morning when the Venerable Monk came, and many residents of the nearby family homes would come here to eat food and take it home, and some of them had also bought soy milk from Zhou Huilan.
Seeing her pushing a tricycle over, they all gathered around to ask, and heard that Zhou Huilan was going to sell soy milk in a state-run restaurant, and those who were going to leave grabbed Master Niu and asked him which window he was in, looking like he was going to queue up.
Niu Guangde then sent the little apprentice to take Zhou Huilan to the back kitchen to weigh herself, but she entered the lobby, stood at the queuing window and wiped the words on the small blackboard, and directly added the word "soy milk" to the bottom of today's supply.
"Master Niu, what is the price of this soy milk in our canteen?"
"How much did you buy from Master Zhou?"
"Three cents a bag!"
"Then we will sell it to everyone for three cents, with small profits but quick turnover, just for the convenience of the masses and to serve the people!"
As soon as these words fell, they immediately won a round of applause.
Zhou Huilan was in the back kitchen of the hotel, and she heard the cheers in front of her, but she didn't see how spectacular the queue at the door was in a blink of an eye.
The soy milk said that it weighed one hundred and eighty-seven catties, poured it into the pot of the restaurant and deducted the weight of the two pots for a total of thirty-six catties, and the soy milk was one hundred and fifty-one catties.
"My name is Lu Jin, what about you, master?"
In the future, it will be a cooperative relationship, and there will be frequent contacts, Zhou Huilan and the young man have known each other for a few days, and stretched out her hand with a smile, "My name is Zhou Huilan." ”
"Sister Zhou, your soy milk is really good, don't say it." The two of them were going up the stairs, but Lu Jin still glanced up and down, and then lowered his voice and said to Zhou Huilan: "Start with your soy milk, I have bought all the stalls selling soy milk on the side of the drum tower, and none of them can compare to yours." ”
A few days ago, the old man came to make such a fuss, and the attitude of the hotel towards this matter was very serious, after all, in recent years, although the food in the state-run hotel was not particularly outstanding, it had never been slapped in the face like this.
For such a compliment, Zhou Huilan could only smile, "You have won the award." ”
On the second floor of the hotel, there is a row of private rooms, but a large area is empty, several large tables are stacked together, obviously useless for a long time, and there are many screens piled up next to it, which look very old.
Lu Changqing said before that the reason why there are so many vendors selling snacks in the Drum Tower is that a large part of them are laid-off workers of state-run hotels, and the big canteen downstairs looks crowded, and maybe the business is not so good.
The financial room was at the very bottom of the private room, Lu Jin knocked on the door and entered, and there was only a middle-aged woman who looked like she was in her forties, wearing glasses and looking like Sven.
Lu Jin handed over the receipts, "Sister Zhao, the soybean milk that Master Niu wants to collect, one catty, two cents and five cents, and the cash." ”
Accountant Zhao nodded, put the receipt in the drawer, wrote a note for Lu Jin and Zhou Huilan to sign, and then directly gave Zhou Huilan thirty-seven yuan and seven cents and five dollars.
After doing all this, there was no nonsense, but Lu Jinle said goodbye to Accountant Zhao and pulled Zhou Huilan out of the financial room.
"Sister Zhao is like this, she doesn't talk much, but she is actually very good."
Zhou Huilan smiled and put the money away, she didn't care whether the accountant talked too much or too little, and if she talked less, she would save herself from being verbose.
"Xiao Lu, this soy milk is handed over to your restaurant, does it still have to be boiled in the pot?" Zhou Huilan noticed in the back kitchen just now that the master directly sat on the fire for the big pot containing soybean milk.
Lu Jin nodded, "Naturally, you have to boil it and sell it." ”
In this way, she doesn't have to cook that one at home, and she can save some effort and firewood.
Zhou Huilan secretly wrote it down and continued to ask: "Then this soy milk, do you only collect this once a day in the morning, or do you collect all three meals in the morning, noon and dinner?" ”
"The master just said that it will be collected, if you have time to grind again during the day, just send it."
Zhou Huilan thanked Lu Jin with a smile, stepped on the tricycle and left the hotel.
She soaked so many beans last night, and she just wants to grind it again today and has no beans, so she can only soak more tonight and work overtime during the day tomorrow.
When I got home, Yaoyao hadn't woken up yet.
Zhou Huilan went to the kitchen to cook Yaoyao's rice, cleaned up the pots and pans, and saw that the time was about the same, so she went to call Yaoyao.
These days, Zhou Huilan is busy selling soy milk, and most of the time when Yaoyao wakes up, Zhou Huilan is not there, and Granny Duan will take her to wash and send her to school.
When she opened her eyes and saw her mother today, Yaoyao was very happy, and hugged Zhou Huilan's face and took a sip, "Mom, today's soy milk is sold out so quickly?" ”
