Chapter 67 Proper Arrangement
Salt shop is not like other shops, if it is an ordinary shop, it is naturally good for people to come and go, but the salt shop sells salt, salt is a must, although ordinary people need it, but they will only buy it once in a while, this time the salt is bought back, less can be used for ten days and half a month, and more for one or two months is normal.
The store is ordinary and unremarkable, and there are not many customers in the store, but it basically doesn't stop from morning to night.
Kang Youfu has been in office for more than half a month now, before the salt shop was in his hands he took care of inside and outside, some time ago officially opened, the salt shop did not make a big fanfare, just changed a signboard and opened like this, it seems very low-key.
There are a total of four people in the shop today, in addition to Kang Youfu, the big shopkeeper and an account room, there are two guys. These three people were all selected by Kang Youfu from the people who used to be in the salt shop, and after observing them these days, the situation of these people was quite satisfactory to him.
Kang Youfu has never been in the salt business, but he has helped with the business in his family's tofu workshop since he was a child. Since they are all bought and sold, but the things they sell are different, the business principles are the same, and Kang Youfu is very smart, and he got started not long after taking over, and he did it well.
After the opening of the salt shop, the business in the past few days is not bad, and the salt shop is a long-term business, and the main thing is stability.
There are few salt shops in Pingyang Prefecture, and Liu's salt shop is one of them, and Liu's salt shop is a time-honored brand, and it already has a certain customer base. Although the signboard has changed now, the store is still the same, and even the two guys who stayed behind are old people, even if something happened to the Liu family before, it has little impact on the business after the opening and before.
In the store, Kang Youfu just saw off a customer. It stands to reason that there is no need for a big shopkeeper like him to entertain guests like an ordinary guy, but Kang Youfu feels that he has just become a big shopkeeper, and this shop is entrusted to him by Zhu Shencheng, in order to better understand this business, it is not a problem to do more things, and it is more beneficial to be familiar with the guests, which is also more beneficial for future transactions.
"Shopkeeper, there's not much salt in the back storehouse, and if you continue to sell it like this, you won't have to sell it in a few days." A guy puts the money he has just collected into a drawer, which is all business money, and when the business is over, he will hand it over to the account office.
After collecting the money, at the same time put a pen to write down a sum in the notebook, this is also Kang Youfu's request to them. How many businesses are done every day, how much is sold, and the money, accounts, and goods must be matched.
"How many more?" Kang Youfu asked.
The guy said a number, Kang Youfu's heart sank slightly, it seems that the business in the shop is better than he expected, originally thought that the inventory in the store could be sold for more than half a month, but now from the actual situation, I can't see that it will be sold out in half a month.
By that time, there will be no salt in the library, how will this business be done? Kang Youfu scratched his head a little for a while, he had reminded Zhu Shencone about this before, but Zhu Shencone didn't care at all, let him wait with confidence.
This is a few days, there is no news from Zhu Shencone's side, yesterday he had gone to Zhu Shencone's house to look for it, but he didn't see anyone, just said that he hadn't come back yet. Thinking of this, Kang Youfu was secretly a little anxious, but on the surface he was very calm.
He told the man that it was a trivial matter, and that salt had come in these two days. The man also mentioned this, since the shopkeeper said so, he was relieved, and immediately went down to busy himself.
After the guy left, Kang Youfu wondered if he would go to Zhu Shencone again today, Zhu Shencone had been gone for several days, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back. If you really wait for all the salt in the shop to be sold out, and there is no salt to sell in the shop, won't this trade become a joke?
Just thinking about it, there was movement at the door, and when I looked up, Kang Youfu was stunned at first, and then I was happy.
"East ......."
The owner almost blurted out, but when he saw Zhu Shencone shaking his head at him slightly, Kang Youfu came back to his senses and swallowed the words back.
"Guest officer, how many of you came to buy salt?" When the man saw the visitor, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Go get busy, I'll receive ...... here." Kang Youfu walked out from behind the counter and gave a word to the guy, who looked at Zhu Shencone and Zhang Xijun who entered the door suspiciously, but went down without asking anything.
"Shopkeeper Kang, I brought the person you are looking for, this is Shopkeeper Zhang." Although Zhu Shencone is the owner here, he is blessed to actually take over and come forward, and he has never revealed his identity in front of his buddies. So after he saw Kang Youfu, he greeted him in this way, Kang Youfu understood as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly smiled and arched his hand: "Hey, it's really troublesome for you to run on purpose, please please, please two people behind." ”
Kang Youfu warmly beckoned Zhu Shencone and Zhang Xijun to sit in the back, Zhu Shencone nodded, took Zhang Xijun and followed Kang Youfu to the back of the courtyard, and when he arrived at the place, he went straight to Kang Youfu's main house, which was the place of his office.
After entering the house and closing the door, Kang Youfu no longer concealed it, and directly called Zhu Shencone the owner, and at the same time cast an inquiring look at Zhang Xijun, who met for the first time.
"This shopkeeper Zhang will be the second shopkeeper in the shop, in addition to the shopkeeper, there are two new guys, they are waiting in the back alley, waiting for you to meet, how to arrange for you to discuss with the shopkeeper Zhang."
"I've seen the shopkeeper Kang, my surname is Zhang, Zhang Xijun, and the word Hengchen, you call me Hengchen." Zhang Xijun bowed to Kang Youfu.
Kang Youfu hurriedly returned the salute and reported his name, but he was just an ordinary person who didn't have any words, so he could only be called ordinary.
Kang Youfu was not surprised by Zhang Xijun's arrival, because Zhu Shencone had told him before that he would send a few people to the store in the future, but he didn't want to send someone like Zhang Xijun in addition to the two guys.
First ask Zhu Shencone and Zhang Xijun to sit, Kang Youfu was busy pouring tea for them, poured tea, and put the teacup on the table, Kang Youfu then told Zhu Shencone about the lack of stock in the store, and told him that if there was no more goods in the warehouse, the store would not be able to sell for a few days.
"Hehe, it seems that it is the right time to come back." Zhu Shencone said with a smile: "The salt has been brought, and the two guys in the back alley are watching, you can arrange for someone to get it in." ”
This sentence made Kang Youfu stunned for a moment, and soon came back to his senses. He didn't expect that Zhu Shencone not only brought people today, but also brought all the salt.
Since this is the case, Kang Youfu couldn't sit still, and said that he would make a confession, and he would go back after arranging the people and goods.
Zhu Shencone waved his hand and said let him go to work first, and he would rest here. Kang Youfu rushed to Zhu Shencone and Zhang Xijun arched his hand, and went out first in a hurry.
This time when he came back from Wangjia Village, Zhu Shencone brought two large carts of salt, which were not too much but not a lot, and there were more than 20 stones.
These salts are enough for the daily sales in the store for a period of time, and the next supply does not have to worry, in addition to the existing inventory in Wangjia Village, they also set off for Jiezhou in Xia Dong on the way back to Pingyang, if there is no accident, the salt road on the Xie Zhou side is no longer a problem, plus now there is a formal salt introduction, the follow-up salt will not only be endless, the amount will be a lot larger.
Kang Youfu went to get busy, Zhu Shencone and Zhang Xijun sat and drank tea, and while drinking tea, Zhu Shencone whispered to Zhang Xijun about the situation of the salt shop.
Although I have said some things before, the actual situation is not the same as what I have heard. When he arrived at the salt shop, Zhang Xijun was secretly observing the situation of the whole shop, from his feeling that the shop was well maintained, and although he and Kang Youfu only talked a few words just now, the two sides were also in contact for the first time, but Zhang Xijun had to admit that Kang Youfu was indeed a good businessman in terms of behavior and speech, no wonder Zhu Shencone would take a fancy to this person and give him reuse.
After a moment of planting, Kang Youfu came back, and the salt goods on the back alley had been pulled in and put into storage, and when this batch of salt arrived, his previous worries were gone. But where does this salt come from? Zhu Shencone didn't tell Kang Youfu, but Kang Youfu vaguely guessed something.
When he came back, Kang Youfu brought the account book by the way, and when he saw Zhu Shencone, he handed over the account book and reported the situation in the store these days.
Zhu Shencone looked at the account book while listening to Kang Youfu's report, nodded from time to time and asked some questions.
Because he hadn't been away for a long time and didn't have much to report, after listening, Zhu Shencone praised Kang Youfu with a few words of satisfaction.
"The backyard cleaned up all the houses you cleaned up last time?"
"Back to the owner's house, it's been cleaned up, shopkeeper Zhang and the two guys live in the backyard?" Kang Youfu asked at the same time as he answered.
"Let's arrange it in the backyard first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Zhu Shencone said this, then glanced at Zhang Xijun and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhang, how is it?" ”
"The little nature is to listen to the owner!" Zhang Xijun smiled and bowed his hand to Zhu Shencong, and then thanked Kang Youfu.
Then, Zhu Shencone asked Kang Youfu to take Zhang Xijun and the two new guys to settle down, so Zhang Xijun got up and followed Kang Youfu and went out first.
The time spent in the salt shop was not long, and before leaving, Zhu Shencone met Kang Youfu alone and explained some things to him privately.
After listening to Zhu Shencone's explanation, Kang Youfu had a bottom in his heart, and he solemnly assured Zhu Shencone that he would keep an eye on the store and that everything was properly arranged. As for the matter of Yanlu in the future, he will cooperate with Zhang Xijun to do it, so that Zhu Shencone can rest assured.
There are Kang Youfu and Zhang Xijun here in the store, he doesn't need to worry about anything, plus Xia Dong is in charge of Xie Zhou and the salt road that took salt before, several arrangements have been set, Kang Youfu, Zhang Xijun, Xia Dong and the three of them have their own uses, the three of them cooperate with each other, and at the same time, they also contain and supervise each other, which is the best arrangement that Zhu Shencone can do at present.
