Chapter 189 Outsourcing and Outsourcing Again
Zhao Xiaojing couldn't eat anymore. She laughed for a while before she found her way back to thinking. "The amount of sauce I put in this time is OK, not too much. I put too much dark soy sauce. The little mosquito's tongue is still a bit strong and it tasted a little bitter.
The heat is still not enough. The heat is too low, so the aroma of the meat is not fully released. Also, if you add soy sauce or something like that, you need to turn up the heat, otherwise the umami flavor won’t come out, and it will taste like raw soy sauce.”
"Yes, yes, yes! How could I forget again!" Yun Yongyuan slapped his head. "Master emphasized that we should add soy sauce over medium-high heat. He said it for so long that I forgot!"
"Junior Sister Mirror, try this!" Yun Yongyuan excitedly pushed the fried pork liver towards Zhao Xiaojing.
"There's too much vinegar. And it's sticking to the pan, right?" Zhao Xiaojing took a bite and laughed at Yun Yongyuan's wonderful expression again.
Yun Yongyuan became even more excited after receiving the accurate evaluation, and pestered Zhao Xiaojing to review the other two dishes one by one.
Ouyang Yidan and Su Yuchen did not join in the fun. The two of them started chattering about campus gossip. However, Lu Hongwen, who was next to Yun Yongyuan, listened with great interest. He stared at Zhao Xiaojing intently, as if he wanted to take a piece of paper to write down the test points.
"By the way, Sister Comb, did you remember what I just said? The store should buy a cash register. It's inefficient for you to take notes like this. When there are a lot of takeout orders, you write them down by hand and they won't be distinguishable from the store orders. When Sister Mirror is cooking, she won't be able to tell the difference between dine-in and takeout, and it's easy for her to make the mistake."
After Lu Hongwen listened attentively to Zhao Xiaojing's comments, he continued to talk with Su Yuchen about the topic that he had not finished just now.
"Yes, I do want to buy it. I had originally told Su Zi that I would go to the second-hand market tomorrow morning to have a look." Zhao Xiaojing said.
Ever since they decided to transfer Su Yuchen to the kitchen after she officially joined the band, Xiaozhi started reminding them to buy a front desk system.
Firstly, it is more convenient to print out orders when there are many of them. Secondly, although Zhao Xiaojing has a smart phone that can clearly understand the account situation at a glance, with electronic scanning, it is more convenient to check the accounts. After inviting new people in, the accounts are clear and some small changes are not easy to make, which can prevent problems before they happen.
However, there is only one waiter left who has not been recruited yet and Su Yuchen is still there, so the two of them were lazy and haven’t taken any action yet.
"You emphasized this last night. Are you really only in your early twenties? This memory must have been accumulated over at least 70 years!" Su Yuchen looked at Lu Hongwen with disdain.
The three of them had a long talk in the store after the Tangshui stall closed last night. First, they settled all the accounts of the Tangshui stall and settled the last 20 days' wages with Lv Hongwen. The commission plus the basic salary totaled 5316 yuan. Excluding the 670 yuan that Lv Hongwen had to pay the students for part-time work, he still had 4646 yuan left.
The sugar water sells best during the hottest time of the summer. Although sales drop when the weather cools down, on average, about 730 servings are still sold every day.
After a thorough calculation, it was discovered that Lu Hongwen had earned nearly 20,000 yuan in the nearly two and a half months just by running a dessert stall part-time. The 1,000 yuan monthly salary from working as a student was just a small portion of the money; his own income was quite considerable.
After settling the bill, the three of them discussed the takeaway for a while and decided on Lu Hongwen's wages.
Since we only deliver to schools, the delivery fee is 2 yuan per order.
Lu Hongwen still follows the work model of base salary plus commission, with a part-time basic salary of 1000 yuan per month, plus a commission of 1.5 yuan from the delivery fee for each order.
Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen originally said that the 2 yuan delivery fee would be paid directly to Lu Hongwen. This was actually beneficial to the store. First, the orders would increase, and second, some seats in the store could be vacated.
However, Lu Hongwen refused, and specifically emphasized that they had been riding the stall cart for two people for so long. He did not have his own means of transportation for this delivery and had to continue to borrow the stall cart. He was already making money without any investment, and if he was not charged the cost, he would feel embarrassed to use it again. So the two did not insist.
So the additional 0.5 yuan for each order is for the lunch boxes, bags, chopsticks used in the store for packaging, as well as the electricity and depreciation costs of the stall cart for going back and forth.
After discussing these basic things, Lu Hongwen also muttered a lot of ideas, including the one about the cash register.
Zhao Xiaojing had also talked to Su Yuchen about this before, but they just hadn't bought it yet.
"Really? Did I say that last night? I've had too many thoughts these past two days, and my head is a little confused." Lu Hongwen smiled without any embarrassment. He was still full of passion. He kept staring at the mini program while eating, thinking about the takeaway.
"I set the business hours at 11:15 on Xiaodu. You can make reservations and place orders before this time, but there will be no timekeeping or delivery. Is that okay?"
"No problem. Senior Brother Yun is improving very quickly. After a few more days of practice, he can cook on his own. You just need to run fast enough."
Zhao Xiaojing picked up another piece of lotus root with chopsticks while talking. When she cooked for her family, she wanted Ouyang Yidan to get off work early and rest, so she cooked whatever was available. It was rare that Yun Yongyuan made stir-fried lotus root, a dish that was not on the menu, and it tasted particularly fresh.
"Junior sister, eat more if you like it!" Yun Yongyuan's eyes lit up when he heard that he could cook on his own in a few days. He immediately reached out and scooped a large spoonful of stir-fried lotus root shreds for Zhao Xiaojing, his mouth wide open.
"Have you found someone good over at the girls' dormitory?" Su Yuchen curled her lips and smiled when she saw Yun Yongyuan's actions. She also picked up a large piece of lotus root shreds with chopsticks, looked up and asked Lu Hongwen.
It was when the three of them were discussing wages last night that Zhao Xiaojing suddenly remembered it and asked Lu Hongwen that he could deliver it to the boys' dormitory, but what about the girls' dormitory.
Lu Hongwen was also confused at the time. After thinking for a long time, he said that he would find a part-time job.
"I've found it. I specifically found someone I'm familiar with, a classmate of ours, and someone who's reliable in character." Lu Hongwen shook his chopsticks with great pride.
"She has been working part-time to earn money for her studies, and it's not easy. I agreed with her that I would deliver the pork trotter rice to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, and she would come down to pick it up and deliver it to the dormitories one by one. I would give her 50 cents for each order, and I would keep a record of it and settle it monthly. I would pay her after you pay me."
“Okay, you’re at it again! Outsourcing after outsourcing, like a middleman.” Su Yuchen said with a smile.
"This is called sharing the money, and I'll leave some soup for others when I eat the meat." Lv Hongwen said. "Your clean plate activity today is pretty good. At that time, I was thinking, should takeout also be divided into large, medium and small portions, and rice should also be divided into large, medium and small portions, and whether or not to have side dishes?"
"That's an idea. Can I add it?" Zhao Xiaojing put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked, sighing again that Lu Hongwen was indeed suitable to be a boss or a manager. He always thought about work, even when he was working part-time.
