Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 291 Store Opening

As a piece of red silk cloth slowly fell, the four characters of [Fuchang Store] were revealed.

Xu Lingjun stood at the door of the store and said loudly to everyone: "I announce that the Fuchang Store is open! Welcome everyone to come in and buy products. To celebrate the opening of the Fuchang Store, we have specially launched a [-]% off event for the whole store. The more you buy, the better the discount." Many, the event is limited to three days, so hurry up if you want to buy something!"

After speaking, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Immediately, people who already couldn't wait swarmed in, quickly filling up the space in the store.

Li Xiuzhi stood at the checkout counter, looking at the people in the store who were constantly picking out products, her heart was instantly relieved.

Originally, she was a little worried that no one would come to visit, but the lively scene in front of her really dispelled her worries.

The whole store is composed of three inverted rooms, about [-] square meters.

Among them, the inverted room in the middle has become the entrance of the store, with entrances and exits and cash registers, while the two inverted rooms next to it are equipped with two walls of glass, which look very eye-catching.

When everyone saw such a decoration style, their eyes almost stared straight.

"Hey, Lingjun, why did you think of doing this?"

Guo Bizi asked in surprise.

"I saw this in the newspaper. In Shanghai and Beijing, many restaurants are decorated like this. I thought it looked good, so I asked someone to buy a few pieces of glass."

Xu Lingjun casually found a reason to explain.

"I really want to visit the capital!"

Guo Bizi said with some longing.

"Haha! There will be a chance in the future!"

Xu Lingjun smiled and comforted.

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xiuzhi, who was so busy, and asked hastily, "Scroller, have you found all the people I asked you to look for?"

"this."

Guo Bizi was taken aback for a moment, with a troubled expression on his face.

"what happened?"

Xu Lingjun frowned and asked with some doubts.

"It's like this. I went to help you and asked a few families in our seventh team. They were a little worried that your store would not be able to continue, so they all refused."

Guo Bizi said with some embarrassment.

"That's it!"

Xu Lingjun frowned and muttered to himself.

A few days ago, he asked Guo Shuzi to help him invite a few people to work in the store. After all, he usually had to go to school, and Li Xiuzhi alone couldn't take care of him.

Moreover, restaurants will also open soon, and manpower will also be needed.

It's just that he didn't expect the villagers to be so pessimistic.

In the final analysis, I'm afraid I'm still worried about what kind of trouble he will cause when he opens a store and does business!

Just as he was thinking of a solution, Shi Dongwei suddenly came over and said hesitantly, "Brother Xu, why don't you let my sister come over to help?"

"Your sister?"

Xu Lingjun was slightly taken aback, and a shy and well-behaved figure appeared in his mind.

"Yes! My sister!"

Shi Dongwei looked at Xu Lingjun expectantly.

His younger sister is dumb. She has never read a book since she was a child, and she has been helping with housework and farm work at home.

Because of my disability, it was hard to find my husband's house.

Moreover, he didn't want to marry his younger sister casually.

So, now that he heard that Xu Lingjun wanted to hire someone to help with his work, he struggled for a few days, and finally wanted to fight for it, so as to find a way out for his sister.

Although Xu Lingjun's salary is not high, it can make money after all.

In the countryside, being able to make money and not being able to make money are completely two different things.

"Your sister should be eighteen this year, right?"

Xu Lingjun frowned, and asked with some uncertainty.

At this sensitive time, he doesn't want people to say that he employs child labor.

"It's full, it's full!"

Shi Dongwei nodded hurriedly and said.

"Well, then you let her come!"

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, nodded in agreement.

Although it is inconvenient for the dumb to do things, it can still relieve Li Xiuzhi of some work, at least he can help take care of Xu Yiyi.

Moreover, the salary of 30 yuan a month is no pressure at all for him.

Let alone one mute, even if you invite a dozen, he will have no problem.

It's just that it can't happen.

"Okay, I'll go and call her here."

Shi Dongwei said in surprise.

After speaking, he quickly turned around and ran towards the house.

"Lingjun, can this work?"

Guo Bizi watched Shi Dongwei leave, and asked a little puzzled.

In his opinion, spending so much money to hire a dumb person is not worth it!
"It's okay, if you can help me, you should help me find some suitable people! In a few days, my restaurant will open, so don't delay."

Xu Lingjun waved his hand and said.

"Don't worry! I'll find someone for you later, this time I have to let them beg me."

Looking at the bustling scene in the store, Guo Bizi said confidently.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Xu Lingjun patted Guo Bizi on the shoulder, turned around and walked into the shop to get busy.

Among them, the most important thing is to guide the guests and weigh them.

Except for a small part of the goods in the store that he bought from the system store, he bought most of the other goods in the city when he took time out, and he bought a full system warehouse at one time, enough for the store to sell More than a month.

In the future, he only needs to go to the city to do some shopping from time to time.

Not long after, Shi Dongwei ran into the store with his younger sister Shi Dongmei, and said out of breath, "Brother Xu, my sister is here."

"Well! Come with me!"

Xu Lingjun nodded, turned around and walked towards the cashier, and whispered a few words to Li Xiuzhi.

Shi Dongmei looked at Shi Dongwei with embarrassment on his face.

She really wanted this job, but she was worried about causing trouble for Xu Lingjun.

"Dongmei, it's okay. If it's really bad, we won't agree to the big brother's salary. You try it before you talk. Go!"

Shi Dongwei comforted softly.

Shi Dongmei tugged at the corner of her clothes, hesitated for a while, and finally walked towards Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi with her head down.

"Come on, Dongmei, just stand by and watch what I do, and I'll let you do it later."

Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to pull Shi Dongmei to stand beside her, and confessed in a low voice.

Shi Dongmei nodded hastily, and looked nervously.

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, turned around quickly and continued to work.

Perhaps because of the [-]% discount event, many herdsmen from nearby villages rushed over after receiving the news.

On weekdays, if they want to buy something, they either have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative of the market department, or they have to go to the county town, and they have to run at least 30 miles.

And Fuchang Village is just in the middle of these villages to the factory headquarters and the county seat, shortening the distance by half.

In addition, when they walked into the store, they found that the prices of the products were the same as those in the county town, and there were even many products that were not available in the county town. They suddenly burst into great enthusiasm for shopping.

At the same time, I secretly decided to come here to buy things in the future.

The herdsmen in Fuchang Village secretly felt a little tongue-tied when they saw the constant flow of people in the Fuchang store.

Especially the other members of the production team, who wanted to see Xu Lingjun's jokes, but were severely slapped in the face.

They never expected that people from other villages would come here to buy things, let alone that Xu Lingjun could get so many goods.

At noon, when Xu Lingjun continued to be busy.

More than a dozen people crowded into Guo Shuzi's house, and everyone wanted to work in the Fuchang store.

According to gossip, more than 300 people visited the Fuchang store in just one morning.

Calculated based on one person spending one yuan, that would be three or four hundred yuan.

No matter how small the profit is, there must be one-tenth of the profit!

I earned 40 yuan in half a day, wouldn't I have at least 1000 yuan in that month?

While they were envious, they not only completely dispelled their worries about Xu Lingjun's ability to pay wages, but also wanted to take the opportunity to learn from Xu Lingjun how to open a store and do business.

So, before Guo Jizi came home, they all walked into Guo Jizi's house with gifts, for fear that they would come too late and be caught first.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing!"

Guo Bizi looked at the messy scene in front of him and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly shut up and looked at Guo Bizi helplessly.

"Aren't you all unwilling before! Why have you changed your mind now?"

Guo Xiezi said a little angrily.

"Well, Handy, weren't we worried before!"

"That's right! If the wages are not paid by then, wouldn't it hurt everyone's peace!"

"Scrap, please tell Ling Jun, my girl knows how to do arithmetic, so it's definitely right to help in the store."

"What! Your girl hasn't even finished the first grade of elementary school. Are you embarrassed to say that she can count? My girl is the most suitable one. She is good-looking and can speak well."

"Tch, your girl has such a big mouth that she likes to gossip all day long. She might cause trouble to others if she goes to the store! Unlike my girl, she is down-to-earth and hard-working."

"Hmph! Your girl is dark-haired, don't scare her guests away."

"you"

"Okay, okay, you all don't say a few words, don't blame me for kicking you out if you do this again."

Guo Bizi waved his hand to stop him with some headaches.

Originally, he planned to pick a few more suitable ones and come to the door to make appointments.

But I didn't expect these people to come together.

There are only a few places, who is it for?

Seeing Guo's expression, Niu Fengying's heart moved, she leaned into Guo's ear, and said in a low voice: "Piaozi, didn't Lingjun say that restaurants should also recruit people! You just want them all, and let Lingjun do it yourself." to arrange."

"That's not good! Ling Jun told me the matter because he trusted me. How could I fool him like this!"

Guo Bizi hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Oh! I didn't want you to fool Lingjun. You see, these people are the more hard-working and down-to-earth girls in our team. If you don't want them, can you find other people?"

Niu Fengying said anxiously.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it."

Guo Bizi said in a daze.

He kept thinking about making these people feel embarrassed, but he didn't realize that these people had been screened by him before.

Immediately, he immediately thought of another question.

"However, Ling Jun's restaurant won't open until some time later, we can't stuff so many people for him all at once!"

"this."

Niu Fengying was also at a loss for words.

Yup!

There are not so many people in the store, and now let these people pass by, what is there to eat!
After much deliberation, she hesitated and said, "Why don't you ask Ling Jun what he means first?"

"Okay, then you stabilize them first, and talk about it when I come back."

Guo Bizi nodded, got up hastily and walked out.

Seeing this, everyone wanted to catch up, but they were immediately stopped by Niu Fengying.

Not long after, Guo Bizi ran back with a relaxed expression on his face, and said to everyone, "Okay, you guys hurry back and inform your girl, and report to the store in a while."

"Really?"

"Ouch! That's great!"

"Scrap, thank you!"

"Go! Go!"

"."

Soon, everyone ran back home and took the girl to the Fuchang store.

Xu Lingjun briefly checked the situation of each girl, and then taught them to organize the shelves, guide the customers, and weigh the goods.

At this time, with the addition of Shi Dongmei, the number of employees under his hands reached 6 people.

Three of them will be transferred to restaurants in the future.

Seeing so many girls coming all at once, Shi Dongmei felt nervous, and hurriedly started to work more seriously.

After a while, Xu Lingjun came over suddenly and said, "Dongmei, come with me."

Shi Dongmei was taken aback for a moment, and gestured hurriedly.

She thought Xu Lingjun wanted to fire her.

Although she only worked for a short morning, she really liked the job, which made her feel useful and not a burden to her family.

"Don't worry! I have something to tell you."

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly and said softly.

"It's okay, let's go!"

Li Xiuzhi then spoke in relief.

Shi Dongmei glanced at Li Xiuzhi, then silently followed Xu Lingjun into the store.

Behind the store, there is a small door leading directly to the front yard of the courtyard.

Walk along the front yard and walk into the vertical flower gate, which is the middle courtyard.

When Xu Lingjun came to Shi Dongmei, he walked into the warehouse in the west wing. He pointed to the products in the warehouse and said slowly: "Dongmei, you will be responsible for managing the warehouse for me from now on, mainly to register the names and quantities of the products entering and leaving the warehouse. .”

With that said, he took out a key from his pocket and handed it over.

After his observation this morning, he found that Shi Dongmei was more careful in his work and had a weaker personality. He was not suitable for dealing with customers at the front desk, but was more suitable for logistics affairs.

In addition, he also planned to ask Shi Dongmei to help take care of Xu Yiyi after work.

Shi Dongmei looked at the key in front of him, and heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as she doesn't fire her, she can do anything.

Seeing that Shi Dongmei had no objections, Xu Lingjun immediately began to teach her how to register and leave the warehouse.

Among them, he has already written the names of various commodities, and he only needs to mark the quantity on the back.

So, it didn't take long for Shi Dongmei to learn how to register.

Then, Xu Lingjun took Shi Dongmei to familiarize himself with the replenishment process.

In the busyness, it was night in a blink of an eye.

Shi Dongmei walked back home briskly, and Shi Dongwei immediately came up to her and asked, "How is it going? Can you keep going?"

Shi Dongmei smiled and nodded vigorously.

Shi Dongwei breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good."

As he spoke, he dragged Shi Dongmei into the room, and said happily, "Come on, my mother made your favorite dumplings."

Shi Dongmei's eyes lit up, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Soon, bursts of cheerful laughter resounded in the room.
