Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 477 Just do it
The idea of fast food was inspired by the girls at noon, so she made a special trip to consult Liao Yunyun. After all, there are many commercial buildings near Liao Yunyun's unit, and she herself is an office worker, so she should know more about these things.
"Fast food is indeed very popular among office workers, but you have to know that white-collar workers in the inner circle are people with relatively high incomes. A fast food meal worth 20 to 30 points may be two or three days' wages for people in the outer circle, but for these high-income people who can easily get 700 to 800 or even 1,000 yuan in salary, especially single young men and women, what they pursue is not only cost-effectiveness but also taste." Liao Yunyun talked about this on the phone, and even said some information that Gu Tongwan was not aware of.
Liao Yunyun also took herself as an example. She was considered a lower-middle-income person in the inner circle, with a monthly salary of about 700 yuan. It was not realistic for her to eat fast food every day, so she ate most of the time by swiping her card in the company cafeteria. After all, if she used the cafeteria card, she could have a meal at half the price of an employee meal, and two vegetarian and one meat dishes were only ten points. However, the cafeteria served a big pot of food, so the taste was hard to describe. Occasionally, she would go to a small restaurant outside once or twice a week to have a bite to eat, spending twenty to thirty points on a slightly better lunch.
It is generally expensive to order dishes at restaurants outside. A meat dish costs thirty points, and a vegetarian dish costs ten to fifteen points. After three dishes, basically seventy or eighty points are gone. Therefore, many office workers go AA with two or three people. This way, they can eat two more dishes and still afford the price.
There is also another type of fast food, which separates meat and vegetables. Meat dishes are generally 15 points, vegetables are 5 points, white rice is 3 points for a bowl, and steamed buns are 2 points. This type is more suitable for one person, and you can be full with generally 20 points.
Gu Tongwan finally decided to temporarily do fast food business. She remembered that before the end of the world, there were often people staring at the entrance of the construction site on a tricycle or electric car, with a large foam box or thermos bucket on the back. Inside were usually packaged fast food, usually two meat and one vegetable. She remembered that the price was generally around 10-12 yuan. If she also adopted this model, she could directly sell the lunch boxes in the store. The price of each lunch box could be controlled at points per box, and the supply would be limited to to boxes per day. This might be an extra income.
Since it is fast food, the types can be simpler in the early stage, for example, two meat and one vegetarian dishes at the beginning. If the sales are good, you can try two vegetarian and one meat.
However, her business here is a small one after all, and she has never thought of expanding her business to cover the entire base. She doesn't want to do anything that is too eye-catching. After all, her only relationship or backer in the base is Chen Yanxi, but he is the person she least wants to trouble. It's not that she doesn't want to rely on others, but she has been used to relying on herself for more than 20 years. Instead of causing unnecessary trouble for herself, it is better to control the risks to the minimum from the beginning.
Another point is that although this is a small business, she has no capital investment. After all, the current space system only requires system points to purchase seeds, and the points require regular hunting of mutant animals with crystal cores. For now, there is no need to rush, because the batch of vegetables and fruits harvested previously is enough to support her store's purchases for several months.
After making up his mind, Gu Tongwan took out the previously frozen pork from the freezer, about five kilograms, and selected some eggplants that did not look the best. He planned to make a dish of minced meat and eggplant. Another meat dish was the simple and easy-to-make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the vegetarian dish was stir-fried sweet potato leaves.
The rice is cooked with the good rice in the space and the rice sold in the base in a ratio of 1:5. The reason why the proportion of good rice is relatively small is to control costs. After all, rice and paddy cannot be grown in the space at present. Currently, the rice is purchased from the farmers' market, and there are about two tons left. After all, she bought hundreds of bags of kilograms of rice at the beginning. However, the rice she has eaten in recent years is all ready-made boxed rice, and she rarely has the opportunity to cook rice by herself.
When good rice is mixed with the rice with a faint musty smell in the base and cooked together, the musty smell will be much lighter, and the taste will be better than before. At least it will not be hard and difficult to swallow after cooking like before.
After preparing all the ingredients, she only planned to make thirty fast food meals for the first time. She thought that she wouldn't have to worry if she couldn't sell them. She could keep them in the space or give them to people she knew. In short, there would be no waste.
Yan was asked to buy disposable lunch boxes from a nearby street shop on her way back. Each disposable lunch box cost two points. The residence was made of a degradable material.
After spending 8 points to buy 40 lunch boxes, she used 15 eggplants, 5 mutant eggs, 200 tomatoes, and 115 kilograms of sweet potato leaves for the 100 lunch boxes. The disposable lunch boxes cost 415 points, the mutant eggs cost 22 points, and the base coarse rice cost 660 points. The first cost was 245 points, but based on points for each lunch box sold, if all could be sold, the income would be points. After deducting the cost, there would be points left. Although it doesn't seem like much, because she spent some money on the lunch boxes in the early stage, when she sells them next time, the cost of the lunch boxes can be ignored, so she can make a % profit.
In any case, if the lunch boxes can be sold irregularly, the store can at least have an extra income item. When the business of the store gradually improves, jams, braised meats and other kinds of vegetables can be put on the shelves.
Thinking of this, Gu Tongwan minced the meat faster.
"I should have bought an extra meat grinder." Now this household meat grinder can only grind two kilograms of meat at a time. No wonder she is complaining.
Yan Fan arrived home at 7:10. As soon as she got home, she smelled a fragrant aroma. It was the minced meat and eggplant just out of the pot. She planned to prepare the lunch boxes in advance and put them in the lunch boxes. Now the weather is getting colder, and the temperature at night and in the morning is only fourteen or fifteen degrees. In addition, Yan Fan uses her supernatural powers a little, so there is no need to worry about these lunch boxes going bad.
In fact, there is a more convenient way. She can make more lunch boxes at one time, for example, one hundred each time, and then put the remaining seventy into the space on the way. But because this is the first time, the quantity is not that much. When she arrives at the store, she will return the microwave oven temporarily installed. Customers who purchase them can heat them up in the store, or they can take them back and find a way to heat them up themselves.
As for the heat preservation problem, she has already asked the boss lady. It is said that there are heat preservation buckets for sale in the outer circle, but they are generally expensive, and one bucket is estimated to cost about 6 yuan, but the heat preservation effect is indeed good. Under normal circumstances, the lunch box can still be hot for 8- hours.
Gu Tongwan drove to the store at 7:50 in the morning. She originally opened the store at 8:30 every day, so there was no need to worry about the goods on the shelves going bad. She even put the leafy vegetables away before leaving to prevent them from wilting. She also placed two branches of blood vines in the store, so that she didn't have to worry about the vegetables being gnawed by red-eyed rats and black-shelled cockroaches.
When she first arrived at the store, there was a group of people gathered outside. Gu Tongwan recognized two of them. One was her first "opening" customer, and the other was the woman who smelled strongly of perfume that day.
The people who came were indeed Zhang Rong and Liu Wanrou. This time, Zhang Rong even brought Old Lady Zhou with her. There were also three or four middle-aged women beside them. They seemed to have been waiting for a while, and their expressions were full of anticipation.
After seeing Gu Tongwan park the car beside the store, the group hurried over and started talking.
"Madam boss, you're opening the store too late. I thought you weren't going to open the store today?"
"Today is the last day for the giveaway, right? If I buy more, can I get more?"
"Are there any tomatoes today? I came too late yesterday and there are no more tomatoes."
Everyone was talking at the same time, leaving no room for Gu Tongwan to answer.
Gu Tongwan glanced at her watch. It was 8:20 at this time. For some people who wanted to seize the traffic of the early market, it was indeed too late for her to open the store at this time. However, she was a Buddhist. Although her main goal was to make money, the most important thing was to live a relaxed life. Moreover, she had confidence in her products and was not afraid of not having repeat customers. This was the so-called confidence.
"Today is the last day of the promotion. Basically, you will get the gift if you reach the gift amount. Also, my store opens at 8:30. Um... I can't adjust it due to personal reasons. You don't have to come so early. I still have enough supplies and there is a purchase limit. Basically, everyone has a chance to buy vegetables. Don't worry."
Everyone noticed that the girl in front of them spoke slowly and calmly, and looked gentle and pretty. When they thought about the fact that she must have certain skills to be able to open a store at such a young age, they didn't know why the restless crowd suddenly quieted down.
Gu Tongwan smiled and said, "The shelves haven't been sorted out yet, so it's estimated that the store will open ten minutes later. You can wait until 8:40 to come over." As she spoke, she opened the shutter door, and a stream of cold air immediately blew out. This was the ice power she asked Yan Fan to release when he passed by the store when he came back last night. In this way, the temperature inside can be maintained at only five or six degrees, making it less likely for vegetables to rot.
When everyone heard what she said, they immediately became anxious. Liu Wanrou hurriedly asked, "Boss, can't we go in and choose first? What if we can't buy it later..."
But before Liu Wanrou could continue, Gu Tongwan interrupted her with a smile: "No, the supply is still sufficient at the moment, and I'm a small business here. If it's malicious hoarding and buying, I will have a corresponding plan. You just wait fifteen to twenty minutes, I'll tidy up and open the store."
Everyone kept silent upon seeing this, thinking that the store couldn't be left behind anyway, so they simply sat on a nearby stone bench or stood not far away and looked at the store.
This action made Gu Tongwan laugh and cry. Were they really worried that he would run away?
After moving a whole sack of lunch boxes into the store, I simply asked Tutu, who was with the store today, to squat outside. With it around, no blind people would approach.
The best-selling items on the shelves in the past two days are green leafy vegetables such as tomatoes and water spinach, so we stocked up some more today. A whole row of tomatoes weighs at least 30 kilograms.
She quickly replenished all the goods in the space. She doesn't plan to add more fruits to the shelves for now, but she can ensure that there are at least 50 kilograms of Red Fuji apples. After all, the sales of this fruit have been very good in the past two days, and it is especially popular among young girls and mothers with children at home.
After everything was put on the shelves, Gu Tongwan breathed a sigh of relief. She had never expected that organizing the shelves was such a physical job. It was completely different from when she was in the supermarket before. She was only responsible for one type of merchandise before, but now she had to organize the shelves in the entire store within ten minutes. Fortunately, she was in good physical condition and was only sweating slightly.
With a clang sound, the rolling door was opened again. The people waiting outside immediately stopped what they were doing and hurriedly held the baskets in their hands, and entered the store as if they were rushing to a new battlefield.
The first things to be put into the basket in the store are still tomatoes and chives and coriander, but there is a purchase limit reminder sign on each shelf, which states that the maximum purchase quantity of each vegetable is two kilograms.
But in fact, this is a way to promote consumption. This will give buyers a psychological hint that such goods are about to sell out. Most people will rush to buy them for fear that they will not be able to buy them. This marketing method can be said to be the most common in supermarkets before the end of the world.
In less than ten minutes, the first group of people who entered the store basically returned with their goods. However, some people were still bargaining over the gifts. They thought that spending 300 points to get any kilogram of fruit was too little, and they insisted on getting two more onions or an extra apple.
To those who were looking for bargains or bargaining, Gu Tongwan would smile and shake his head, then use the same rhetoric that he had gotten tired of using these days.
"I'm a small business, and the prices of things in my store are about the same as those in the commercial street. There are no gifts there, and I can't guarantee anything else, but the vegetables and fruits in my store are guaranteed to be fresh. If you think they are too expensive or you're getting a bad deal, or if you can find something with better quality and cheaper than mine, I'll compensate you three times as much." The fruits in the space are grown in special black soil.
At first, some people were dismissive, but anyone who had really bought her vegetables here couldn't help but become a repeat customer. After all, what she said was the truth. Although this vegetable store had no advantage in price, the quality was far superior to other vegetable stores. Even the so-called high-quality vegetable gift boxes hung in the trading center during festivals tasted just so-so. On the contrary, the vegetables in this store were not only fresh but also delicious.
On the third day of opening, the daily turnover of Gu Tongwan's vegetable store exceeded 3,000 points.
