​Transmigrated into Ancient Times to Sell Desserts

"What's the matter, it's so noisy outside?" Ji Wei called over as soon as the people in the front hall appeared, "I can hear your voices outside from here."

The two men who helped sell money in the front hall were honest and steady, and after Zhao Hu was transferred to take charge of the job alone, they had to pick two out of the acquaintances in the yard to help Ji Wei in the front hall sometimes. help.

Seeing the bewilderment on their faces, I knew that something must have happened, so I explained a few words to the others, and then trotted into the front hall with them.

Seeing the battle, Ji Weiyi immediately understood, "Don't worry, what to do, these are raw materials, you go and ask the people in the backyard to come and help carry them in, so as not to occupy the land here, everyone has nothing to do. The seat is waiting."

These are the raw materials sent by Mr. Zhang.

The details of the cooperation have been discussed before, and Ji Wei is only responsible for the production. As for the raw materials, Mr. Zhang is in full charge. He will send people to carry things to the door every three days.

It has to be said that Zhang's business is really one of the largest in the county.

Not to mention his stores in several nearby towns, the most important thing is that the Zhang family made their fortune from a rice shop, and later opened grocery stores, pastry shops, etc., all of which are inseparably related to the word "eat".

Although other shops are not as numerous and large as Mipu, they still account for [-]% of the Zhang family's annual income.It is precisely because of the development of Mipu that Mr. Zhang must start with other shops if he wants to expand his business.

It just so happens that the Zhang family also operates a grocery store, and they are self-sufficient in raw materials. This reduces the cost and increases the profit accordingly.

Mr. Zhang is happy to see the success, but he suffers from the shopkeepers of other grocery stores.

They had just established a stable cooperative relationship with Ji Wei, and they deliberately lowered the price for this, but they didn't expect to cut off Ji Wei's source of income within a month.

But even if there was resentment in their hearts, they would never dare to confront the Zhang family, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow their blood.

"Well, you guys sit here for a while, I have something to tell you, but I have to look at things first." Ji Wei walked into the yard behind Zhang's workers, and asked these people to sit down, and then Ask Ah Qiu to pour water for them.

He checked flour, sugar, eggs, yeast, milk, goat's milk, etc. one by one, asked the quantity of each thing, and had a good idea.I told the Zhang family workers that the goat milk would be sent to Ji's house in Xixiang, and the remaining eggs, flour, etc., including milk, would be sent to the shop.

The division of labor on both sides has different priorities. If they are all sent to one place, it will inevitably require moving things around, which also consumes energy. It is better to send them separately from the beginning, which also improves work efficiency.

Zhang's workers agreed and left.

*****

Although these workers were carefully selected by the Zhang family, Ji Wei signed a contract for each of them after the training.

The contract was designed by Ji Wei according to the modern entry requirements, and newcomers have a seven-day trial period.

If the probationary period has not passed, the salary will be calculated at [-]%, and if it is passed, it will be directly calculated as normal.

A weekly salary is paid every other week, working three hours a day, taking an hour break at noon, 25 Wen a day, and a lunch is included.

Although the wages are lower than the ten cents an hour before, they are still slightly higher than the market outside.In addition, a meal is included, which saves many people from rushing back and forth to eat at noon, which is also convenient for everyone.

In addition, the most important thing in the contract is the confidentiality clause.

If someone leaks the training technology or commits theft, the former needs to pay ten taels of silver, while the latter needs to pay three times the compensation.For ordinary people who have worked hard to make money, ten taels of silver is a wealth that has never been seen before.If he can't afford to pay, he will be arrested and locked up in the county government just like Liu Qing, and he will even be fined to do hard labor.

When they first began to draw handprints, they hesitated.However, considering that they had never thought of stealing, they all signed happily.

There are two copies of the deed, and Ji Wei keeps all of them carefully.It's just a pile of waste paper if nothing happens, but if something happens, it's not a bad thing to be able to collect a patent fee for this.

When the signing was just completed, several old employees complained that Ji Wei was not generous enough.

But when they had vegetarian, meat and soup for lunch every day, the voice of questioning disappeared completely.

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

Ji Wei went to the blacksmith in the village to buy a batch of tools, and won the hearts of dozens of workers.

During the day, the two places worked in full swing, and in the evening, Zhao Hu sent people to deliver the prepared cheese, butter, skim milk, etc. to the North Street shop.All were sealed in the well, and the next day, the shop workers turned them into delicious desserts.

Then the Zhang family sent people to distribute them to the branches in various towns.

The Zhang family has stores in five towns and one city, and it is not easy to transport things to the store every day.

At the beginning, Mr. Zhang didn't pay much attention to the transportation, so he only asked a few guys from Changliu Town to deliver the goods.

But the volume of the goods is large, and the manpower is insufficient, so the delivery is slow, and even the delivery is dark, and the delivery has not been completed.

This situation only lasted for two days, and both Mr. Zhang and Ji Wei discovered the problem.

It was Ji Wei who first proposed to establish their own logistics and transportation system, and send special personnel from each town to pick up the goods in Changliu Town.

Mr. Zhang readily agreed, and from this, he thought of spreading the cake business to other towns by taking orders and dispatching orders from the guys who came up from various towns every day.

There is no reason not to make money if you have money, not to mention that cakes are indeed highly profitable and make a lot of money.

Relying on the Zhang family's many years of contacts and reputation, coupled with exquisite and vivid promotional leaflets, cake orders came one after another.

Ji Wei suddenly changed from one cake a day to six cakes a day.

Although cake embryos and cream can be made in batches, Ji Weilei's feet are still not touching the ground when assembling and mounting flowers, and he hardly has the time to go to the front hall to sell them.Only when the store is sold out, Ji Wei has time to calculate the turnover of the day.

After the preliminary cooperation between Zhang and Ji's two families was completed, Ji Wei was busy supplying nearly seven pastry shops every day, while the Zhang family was busy trying to gain popularity in several other towns with little foundation.Regarding this point, Mr. Zhang has no experience, so he simply copied some of Ji Wei's promotion methods in Changliu Town and Daxi Town.

Shout out and try food along the street, sell promotions and discounts, and deliver to your door with VIPs.

The advertising method formed by understanding people's hearts can quickly open up the local market no matter what era it is.What's more, the simple ancients have never seen so many routines, and they are hooked all at once.No matter which town it is in, the business of the Zhang family pastry shop is so hot that it has to close the shop early, which has never happened before.

In just half a month, with a radius of a hundred miles, no one knows Ji Wei, and no one knows the "delicious" pastry.

"Bastard!" Chen Mingsheng threw the ledger on the table, his face turning blue with anger.

"Uncle Xiang, you have been with me for so many years, I never thought you would do such a thing!"

The man called Uncle Xiang, with a wrinkled face, also looked about fifty years old.Hearing Chen Mingsheng's words, he immediately understood what he meant. With a bitter expression on his face, he shook his head and sighed: "Master, do you think it's because I'm at a loss that the shop can't make it?"

Chen Mingsheng snorted through his nose, "Otherwise?" It's not that he doesn't believe it, but that the business of the shop has dropped too much this month, so it's unavoidably strange.

"If you don't believe me, ask the buddy, are there many people buying cakes in the shop these days?" Uncle Xiang shook his head, knowing that he would not be able to understand what he said unless Chen Mingsheng saw it with his own eyes, so he didn't say anything. Leading Chen Mingsheng in front, he walked to Changshi Bakery half a street away and stood there.

He didn't need to say anything, Chen Mingsheng understood it at a glance.

"How long has this been going on?" He swallowed, moistening his dry throat.

"It's been ten or so days."

In front of the shop a dozen or so steps away, there was a long line of a dozen or 20 people.They were all huddled in front of the small shop, chattering about something, their faces full of haste and excitement, which showed how eagerly they wanted to get the things in the shop.

The Zhang family is Chen Mingsheng's deadly rival, and the two families have been competing with each other not for a day or two, but for seven or eight years.It was better at first, after all, the Chen family has been in the pastry and tea business for many years, and there are branches of him in addition to Changliu Town and Qingcheng.

But as the Zhang family's business grew bigger and bigger, they even came to dabble in pastry and robbed his business, and the two families gradually became rivals, competing with each other.

The Chen family has a deep foundation, while the Zhang family is still slightly inferior. They have maintained a delicate balance, but unexpectedly it was suddenly broken!

Chen Mingsheng only went to each shop once a month to check the account books. At first glance, he was completely shocked when he saw that this month's income was only a little more than half of last month's.

"Something must have happened! Do you know?" Chen Mingsheng said stiffly.

"Ms. Zhang has added a lot of strange things in the past half a month. I asked my buddy to buy them before. I can't remember all the cookies and so on." Uncle Xiang was a little helpless. After these, it is naturally somewhat unacceptable.

"what about the taste?"

"It's not bad, I think everyone likes it very much."

"That means they hired a new master?" Chen Mingsheng was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "If that's the case, how about I spend a lot of money to dig him over?"

"No, I asked someone to ask, but the master still didn't change it. It's just that the newly added gadgets seem to have been shipped from other places. Donkey carts dragged several boxes of things every day." Xiang Uncle also saw this by squatting outside Zhang's shop for the past few days to give Chen Mingsheng an explanation.

"No! I have to figure out what's going on." After all, Chen Mingsheng has been in business for most of his life, so he said decisively, "I'll go and buy some new gadgets from their family."

As soon as the shop assistants at Zhang's shop saw Uncle Xiang, their expressions immediately changed, and they pulled a face, as if the boss didn't welcome him.It's just that because he is a guest, he can't be driven away, but he is not enthusiastic.

Chen Mingsheng didn't care, ordered everything he hadn't seen before, and hurried back to the shop with Uncle Xiang, pointed to the pile of things on the table and said anxiously: "I've eaten this thing before! Isn't this sold by the Lin family shop?"

If Chen Mingsheng remembered correctly, Lin Yaozu's shop seemed to have been sold some time ago, and the mooncakes that popped up out of nowhere attracted many people to like them.

Could it be that the Zhang family bought these things from the old fox surnamed Lin?

Chen Mingsheng patted his thigh: "Uncle Xiang, please ask someone to find out, it doesn't matter if you spend some money. I'll go to other shops first and come back later."

If only this one had a problem, it would not be difficult to solve.But what if—

"Bah, bah, bah! Just think about some unlucky things..."

Uncle Xiang watched Chen Mingsheng get into the carriage, then with lowered eyebrows, he called the man over and gave him ten cents, "I remember you have a good girl."

Holding the money in his hand, the clerk looked at Uncle Xiang flattered.

"You ask her to go to Zhang's to buy something she hasn't seen before, and ask more about where it came from and who made it. The money will be given to you, and the rest will be her reward. I'm an old face, I'm afraid I'll shut my mouth even tighter when I go there..." Uncle Xiang sighed.
