Back to 80s bride

Chapter 58 Zhou Wei loses money

In the corner of the restaurant, there was the old man who put on airs and said it was okay in the morning, and now his mouth was full of greasy food, and he kept nodding.This is delicious, and this is also delicious, whether meat or vegetarian is delicious.

"Ouch." The old man screamed, eating so fast that he bit his tongue.The old man secretly glanced at Chen Minghui's direction. In the morning, the boy was busy packing and collecting lunch boxes, so he didn't pay attention to him, so the old man quickly lowered his head and started eating.You can't let that kid see him biting his tongue, otherwise he must laugh at him so delicious that he swallowed his tongue, hum.

The publicity is still effective. There are no empty seats even at the busiest time at noon, and some customers eat standing up, but no one leaves because there is no seat.The smell is so fragrant that after entering the room, the guests' legs have their own consciousness, and they can't move no matter what.

After 12:30, the number of customers gradually decreased, and by one o'clock there were basically no one.Only now did the four of them have free time. Qian Yu was so tired that his head was covered with sweat. He didn't care to wipe it with a towel, so he wiped it with his hands.Chen Minghui turned around and saw it, pulled the towel and handed it to him.

"Go to the front table and rest for a while, I'll clear up the rest of the tables, and let's settle the bill."

In fact, among the four, Qian Yu was responsible for the easiest part. He only needed to collect the money, but he was also careful to ensure that no customer would forget to collect the money.Qian Yu had done this job before. When he and Shen Chen Minghui were doing business, it was Chen Minghui who was in charge of attracting customers, and he was in charge of collecting money.

Qian Yu was hugged by Chen Minghui and sat resting at an empty table that had already been cleaned up, and lightly tapped his income.

Chen Minghui and Zhou's mother cleaned up the table, put the empty lunch box in the sink, and Zhou Wei was responsible for washing it.

After the last table was cleared, Chen Minghui walked over and sat next to Qian Yu. Zhou's mother looked up to see that the two were reconciling accounts, and went to help her son wash the dishes together.

"53 yuan and six cents." Qian Yu neatly separated the money and tickets into two piles and put them away. "Meat tickets are [-] catties, and food stamps are [-] catties."

Chen Minghui took out his account book and looked at it, "The capital is 25 yuan and 28 cents, and the meat ticket is ten catties. Even if you earn [-] yuan and one dime, the meat ticket is one catty left."

"But we didn't sell well in the morning. After deducting the three yuan capital, we made a profit of 23 yuan. Then a month is 690 yuan. After deducting the rent of 240 yuan and asking someone to calculate [-] yuan temporarily, we have [-] yuan left." Qian Yu will Circle this number with a pen.

"It's too little. It's really not enough for us to be so busy to make money." Chen Minghui thought for a while and said, "Well, work harder tomorrow, stay at home with Aunt Zhou, and Zhou Wei and I will each bring twenty lunch boxes to Walking around the factory and eating delicious food, we can persuade him to place an order. In this way, there will be more in the day after tomorrow, maybe we can develop a few stable customers.”

"That's a good idea." Qian Yu said, "Anyway, our two schools are here in 5 minutes, and we can deliver meals after school without delaying the dining time of our guests. It's just that we two have to be busy at noon, but we will wait until the market opens." Well, business is good, we can hire another waiter."

Chen Minghui nodded, "However, if there are many orders at noon, I will deliver them myself. I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver them. Let's hire another hourly worker for one yuan and fifty cents an hour. His working hours are only between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] noon. You don't have to do it either."

"It's just right, he will help you share half of the food delivery at noon, and it will save you from being too busy."

After discussing the matter, Chen Minghui wrote a recruitment notice with a blank piece of paper. The only requirement is to bring your own bicycle.

Zhou's mother had been paying attention to the situation here for a long time, she hesitated to speak a few times, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, but was held back by Zhou Wei, Zhou Wei shook his head lightly while tugging at his mother's sleeve.

Outside, Qian Yu saw Zhou's mother and Zhou Wei's small movements and said to Chen Minghui in a low voice: "Uncle Zhou is not working at home too. I see Aunt Zhou's expression seems to want Uncle to come and do part-time work."

"No." Chen Minghui said flatly: "It's not that I don't help him. This is our business. It's fine if we stay here for two days, but in fact, it's Aunt Zhou who spends the longest time in the store. If his family Uncle also came over, so this shop will become a husband and wife shop for the two of them. Some things are too simple to do, and we two will lose everything in the end without knowing what is going on. Aunt Zhou is here alone , there will be no disagreement if no one else pushes it, and if his uncle comes over, it will be hard to say."

"That's what I thought too. I've been avoiding Aunt Zhou just now, so don't mention it when we get back later."

"Zhou Wei, don't be busy, Aunt Zhou, come over to have dinner, I've been tired all day." When the two returned to the room, Chen Minghui greeted them for dinner.

There were few meat dishes due to the first day of opening, so there are only two dishes left, and only two vegetarian dishes are empty.Chen Minghui said: "Let's not cook it at noon, there are two meat dishes, so let's take one for each."

"Xiaowei and I can eat some vegetarian dishes. You and Xiaoyu can eat meat dishes. If you can't eat them, you can keep them for sale at night. It's quite expensive." Zhou's mother was reluctant to eat meat, and she didn't dare to eat it. She is content with work, but she dare not be greedy anymore.

Zhou Wei also said, "I'll just eat vegetarian dishes." He didn't even dare to eat meat dishes, because eating vegetarian dishes would make him feel guilty.Originally, Chen Minghui only invited his mother to come over to work, but he insisted on coming to help, and Chen Minghui was so tired that he had to provide for him.Everyone's food is precious at this moment, it's not a matter of multiple people with more chopsticks, what they eat is food.

"Aunt Zhou Wei and Zhou, come over and eat together. You don't have to be so polite. Everyone is exhausted, and I will point to you to help. If you don't eat, Chen Minghui and I will be even more embarrassed to eat." Qian Yu persuaded : "Besides, Zhou Wei has been helping for such a long time, no wages are paid, and some meat should be eaten."

Zhou's mother didn't know how long she hadn't eaten meat dishes. In the past, when buying meat at home, her wife and children were always on the heels of it, and no one cared when it was her turn.Now the two children are also her bosses but they still allow her to eat meat.Zhou's mother only felt that she had met a good person, and her eyes were red.

"The dishes are cold, let me warm up some for us to eat."

"Trouble Aunt Zhou." Chen Minghui didn't greet her politely, and thanked her directly.

It was already [-]:[-] when the four of them sat down to eat. After such a busy morning, they were all tired and hungry, and their appetite increased a lot.After the meal, Chen Minghui took four bottles of soda, he and Qian Yu each gave them to Zhou's mother, but Zhou's mother refused to ask for any more.

There are few people at night, and most workers will choose to go home for dinner. The shop only stir-fries meat and vegetables, so they haven't sold them yet.

By noon the next day, the amount of food was doubled, and Zhou Wei and Chen Minghui each brought twenty lunch boxes to sell outside the factory.

Before leaving, Chen Minghui instructed: "Go over there and see what kind of person the doorman is. If it's reliable, don't be stingy with things. Give him a box of lunch, and ask him to help him go to the factory to shout, and he will definitely buy more. Quite a few."

Zhou Wei responded, "I see." This was Chen Minghui's instruction to him, and he dared to give away a box as a favor. If Chen Minghui didn't tell him, Zhou Wei would never have done it anyway, or would never have thought of it.

The restaurant is much busier than yesterday, and the number of customers has almost doubled.Qian Yu can't only be responsible for collecting money, but also has to follow him to cook, which makes him even busier.But no matter how busy he is, Qian Yu still remembers that he opened the store to make money, and he must never lose a share, otherwise, his work will be in vain.In the end, in order to prevent missed receipts, I simply collect the payment first and then give the lunch box.

The store got busy after a while and then became free. Chen Minghui came back at 01:30, but he couldn't tell if the bags were sold out by looking at his backpack.Because they sell aluminum lunch boxes, they need to be recycled.

"Xiaoyu, it's all sold out." Chen Minghui happily took out the money and tickets and handed them to Qian Yu, "I don't have time to count them, so you can click to see if you want to see it. I gave a box to the doorman as a favor. And A guest planned to take home to eat at night, and left me a deposit of one yuan for the lunch box. He has a receipt written by me in his hand. If he comes over tomorrow, if I’m not here, Aunt Zhou, you can just refund him.”

"I see." Zhou's mother replied a little absent-mindedly, thinking about whether the lunch boxes Zhou Wei took away were sold out, and Chen Minghui's were sold out. What if his son didn't sell a few boxes? Didn't even sell a box?

The more Zhou's mother thought about it, the more anxious she became, and finally went outside to pick him up.

Only Chen Minghui and Qian Yu were left in the room, so they didn't care much about talking.

Chen Minghui asked: "How is the business in the store for a few days?"

Qian Yu turned around and pointed to the almost empty dinner plate and said, "It's sold for 68 yuan, if Zhou Wei's can also be sold out, add 98 yuan to 110 yuan, five or six yuan at night, five or six yuan in the morning, one day It can be sold for nearly 3000 yuan, and it can be sold for more than [-] yuan in a month. After removing more than half of the cost, we can still earn about [-] yuan."

Chen Minghui nodded, "This profit is not bad, not to mention that this is just the beginning. If we do well in the future and gain a reputation, we can earn more."

"I'm back, Xiaowei is back." Zhou's mother yelled happily when she saw her son coming back. Chen Minghui and Qian Yu also just stopped the topic, counted out ten yuan change and left it outside, and Qian Yu took the rest away. up.

Zhou Wei came in with his schoolbag on his back, and said happily, "Sixteen boxes have been sold, and I have ordered three more."

Knowing that Chen Minghui was sold out, Zhou's mother was afraid that she would be dissatisfied that her son hadn't sold out, so she hurriedly said, "That's great, we've already made reservations, and if we make more reservations in the future, the sales volume of our shop can reach today's performance." Ugh."

Zhou Wei gave all the bills to Chen Minghui, "Brother Hui, can you count the money and see if it's right? One of the boxes was given to the guard, and the money was confiscated. There are still three boxes left here."

Chen Minghui pushed the money to Qian Yu, "You count."

Qian Yu is very skilled at counting money, and usually spends it on one side, but this time he counted it three times, and Zhou Wei's forehead was sweating.

"What's the matter, is the money missing?" Zhou Wei asked, his voice trembling.

"It's okay, let Minghui count again."

Zhou's mother stopped washing the dishes when she heard the commotion, and ran over anxiously, "How much is the difference, how can it be less, you are not a high school student, you don't understand why it costs eight cents, you hurry up and take out your pockets, Did you take out your pockets?"

Zhou Wei turned his pockets over, but there was nothing there.At this time, Chen Minghui also finished ordering. He glanced at Qian Yu and said, "It's one yuan, and four taels of food stamps are missing."

Zhou Wei's face turned pale with a brush, and his lips trembled, "I, I counted it several times, how could it be less?"

"Your high school is in vain, you don't understand such a small amount of money." Zhou's mother raised her hand anxiously to hit Zhou Wei, but Zhou Wei was stunned and did not move, waiting to be beaten.

Fortunately, Chen Minghui had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed Zhou Wei, making Zhou's mother's slap empty.

Qian Yu said: "Don't worry, it's okay. The money and tickets belong to me and Minghui. Zhou Wei is not the waiter we invited, so I am very grateful if he can help us. Aunt Zhou, you can't beat someone. Otherwise, you won't be able to." It’s me and Minghui who are fighting, if I don’t ask Zhou Wei for help, I won’t lose money, and I won’t be beaten. So if you beat Zhou Wei, you might as well beat me and Minghui.”

Zhou's mother said, "What does this have to do with you? He obviously didn't understand it himself."

"It's inevitable even if it's like this." Qian Yu said: "I think I lost money when I first started business. This is normal. I am not proficient at the beginning, and mistakes are inevitable."

Mother Zhou froze, "You've done business before, isn't this the first time?"

Zhou Wei hurriedly pulled his mother and pouted hard, then Zhou's mother suddenly remembered that her son seemed to have said that his two classmates had no father or mother and had been fostered by relatives.Come to think of it, there are also a lot of children in relatives' homes, how can there be so much money for two children to study.If they want to continue studying, they must make money by themselves. They should be forced to do business before they choose to do business.

In any case, it is indeed a skill to make money to support yourself at such a young age.

Chen Minghui took out one yuan and fifty cents from Qian Yu's hand and stuffed it into Zhou Wei's hand.

"This money is for you, thank you for your help."

Zhou Wei repeatedly refused, "No, I can't ask for it. I've lost all my money, so how can I charge it again. Besides, I volunteered to help, not for money."

Qian Yu said: "If this is the case, I will give it to you even more. You must accept this money, otherwise we will not dare to ask you for help with any work in the future."

Chen Minghui also said: "Yes, I wanted to tell you that every weekend in the future, you will come to the store to help, and I will give you one yuan and fifty cents as wages. If you need to go out to deliver food, I will give you two yuan a day."

"This..." Zhou Wei didn't know whether to hold it or not, and looked at Zhou's mother helplessly.

Zhou's mother nodded with red eyes, "You can keep it if you give it to you. Remember, Minghui and Xiaoyu are our benefactors, and you will never forget them."

Zhou Wei nodded, and Chen Minghui hurriedly said: "Aunt Zhou said that at most, it is mutual help among classmates, but I dare not talk about benefactors or anything. Okay, it's been a busy day, let's eat quickly. It just so happens that Zhou Wei has three boxes left. , see what dishes are there, whoever likes to eat can take it himself."
