Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 92

October 10, which is a Saturday, is a pure materialist like Ma Liang who doesn't believe in things like the almanac, so today is the day for the opening.

There is no class on weekends, so he can just take care of the spot in the store in case of any accident.

In the morning, he rushed to the store.

All employees, whether full-time or part-time, arrived earlier than him.Don't look at all the workers, but everyone is very excited about the opening of the new store.

Because Ma Liang had informed them of the incentive rules a long time ago, everyone's bonuses were linked to sales.

The more strings are sold, in addition to the part-time salary, each person can get additional rewards.

This made the employees full of energy. Before 9 o'clock, they all came to the store and started to work.

In the skewer shop, most of the ingredients are ready-made. They are semi-finished products purchased by Ma Liang from the wholesale market, and they are skewered in advance.

But there are also some special ingredients, which cannot be obtained as semi-finished products these days, so they can only be processed by themselves.

Therefore, in addition to receiving guests and cooking kebabs, employees also have to cut and match ingredients and prepare ingredients for kebabs in advance.

Ma Liang has no choice. After all, it is only 2005 now, and the food supply chain is far from as developed as it will be more than ten years later. Some special skewers have to be processed by themselves.

Although not all ingredients need to be skewered, especially hairy tripe, thousand-layer tripe, luncheon meat, duck blood, etc., they still need to be prepared by themselves.

So as soon as we arrived at the store, everyone was busy.

"Morning boss!" As soon as Ma Liang entered the door, the store manager He Feng immediately greeted him with a very attentive attitude.

This is his first time as a store manager. He has worked as a waiter in Chinese fast food chains such as Xinya Dabao and Xiao Shaoxing before, and also worked part-time at KFC and McDonald's, which is considered rich experience.

Now that he has moved to Ma Liang as the store manager, his salary has increased a lot, so he is naturally active.

Fang Zhiyu, a frail girl, was mopping the floor with a mop, and she happened to be dragging it to Ma Liang's feet, and she quickly raised her head to say hello, "Morning, boss!"

"Morning, everyone!" Ma Liang politely responded to everyone.

Don't look young, but he is the boss after all, no one dares to disrespect him face to face, who asked him to pay the big guy.

Besides He Feng, there is another full-time employee named Wu Xuemei who is also a girl.

She is also a clerk with experience in catering work, so Ma Liang took advantage of the situation and arranged for her to be the deputy store manager, and her salary was naturally much higher than before.

No matter what kind of business or shop, there is a difference between being famous and not being famous.

Moreover, the initial stage of starting a business is different from the mature stage of development. The goal is to win people's hearts from the very beginning, so don't talk about it in terms of rules and regulations.

In addition to good salary and treatment, the boss also needs to know how to do things, otherwise why should everyone work hard for you.

Although Ma Liang had never done business in his previous life, he still had this bit of emotional intelligence.

So he politely greeted every employee, and one of them, like him, was also a classmate of Huazheng, whose name was Li Ping.

However, Ma Liang and Ma Liang are not in the same college, they are sophomore seniors of the School of Economics and Law.

His family conditions seem to be not much better than Ma Liang's, and he doesn't talk much, but he is quite honest, and he takes the initiative to do heavy and tiring work as soon as he comes.

Such a positive performance made the part-time girls in the store have a good impression of him.

On the first day the store opened, Ma Liang didn't hold any celebrations, but placed a few flower baskets at the door, half of which were gifts from two second-generation roommates.

After all, where the family conditions are, Chu Jian and Liu Feiyu still understand this.

After working all morning, all the preparations in the store were completed, and Ma Liang even set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate.

Anyway, in the outer suburbs, no one cares about setting off firecrackers, and the urban management will not even take a look.

Although many people passed by, no one came in to try it.This is the case with new stores. Even the foundation of repeat customers has not been accumulated. It is very difficult to attract a large number of customers at the beginning.

Unless it is a busy shop, the opening day will be better.

But what Ma Liang is renting is a new store, and there are still a few stores nearby that are being renovated, and the popularity of the entire sector has not yet fully risen.

Therefore, it is very necessary to distribute leaflets.

He was just about to arrange for some part-time employees to distribute leaflets in different apartments when three second-rate roommates walked in.

"Boss Ma, congratulations!" As soon as he entered the door, Liu Feiyu cupped his hands in congratulations.

The three of them finally had enough sleep and were full of energy.Chu Jian also yelled: "Is there anything I need to help, the brothers are empty."

The two second-generation roommates wanted to give him a big opening red envelope, but Ma Liang directly refused.

We're all roommates, so there's no need to be so tacky.Although the world is good, but we are brothers, so there is no need to engage in such nonsense.

"Isn't this a lot of leaflets waiting to be distributed? Do you still need to ask?" Yang Bo, a man from the Northeast, was very discerning, and scorned the two of them.

There are no customers in the new store, so distributing flyers to attract traffic has become the top priority.

Without further ado, Liu Feiyu picked up a stack of leaflets and was about to leave: "Okay, my brothers will help you to organize them. We have booked the apartments in Phase [-] and Phase [-]. You can arrange for everyone to distribute them elsewhere."

With that said, the three roommates went out together.They were so righteous that Ma Liang felt embarrassed.

So he lined up a few more part-time students to go to the gates of the first, second and third phases of the student apartment, and began to distribute leaflets.

The rest will stay in the store while preparing products while waiting for customers to come to their door.

At 11 o'clock, there was finally a natural flow of passengers passing by.It's almost time for dinner, and the students in the university city are finally going out to look for food.

Ma Liang deliberately placed an LED advertising light box at the door, with promotional information written on it.

[New store opens, 8% off sitewide! ]
[Over 30 yuan, get two 2 yuan vouchers! ]
Promotion Well, always have a little sincerity.

Make more efforts. In the first half of the month, he didn't think about making a lot of money, and focused on small profits but quick turnover.

After another 20 minutes, some individual customers finally came in in twos and threes.

Some will stay and try, and some will leave after looking at it, perhaps because they are intimidated by the price.After all, no matter how conscientious Ma Liang is, snacks like Chuan Chuan Xiang can't be too cheap.

Just like Malatang, it must be more expensive than eating a small noodle.

If you order all vegetarian dishes, it will be slightly cheaper.Otherwise, even in a university town, the per capita consumption will cost 5-10 yuan.

The positioning of snacks is not a complete replacement for meals. The cost of ingredients is much higher than that of noodle restaurants and rice bowls, so it is equivalent to an improved restaurant.

Chuanchuanxiang belongs to the category for students to satisfy their cravings. It is similar to Malatang, and the consumption will naturally be higher, but it is also limited.

After all, this is a university town, not a shopping mall. The price of Ma Liang also takes into account the consumption habits of the students, so it is impossible to set it too high.

When you go back to the mall to open a store, the price will naturally rise accordingly.

The situation was exactly as Jiang Yinqiu expected, the effect of the leaflets was not that great at first, after all, the popularity of this side has not yet risen, and the students seldom run to this side.

That is, the students in the third-phase and fourth-phase apartments occasionally take a closer look when passing by.

"How is it, how about the taste feedback from the guests?" Near noon, Liu Feifei finally came to see the product feedback.

Don't you know that sister Jiang University came one step ahead of her, and she was sitting on the seat in the shop with a bunch of skewers, becoming the first batch of customers.

Jiang Yinqiu looked at her with a smile and said: "I have personally verified that it tastes great.

Even I, who doesn't eat spicy food, want to eat a few more skewers, three or four skewers are not enjoyable at all.Zhiyu, help me with a few more strings, thank you. "

There were no customers in the store, so Jiang Yinqiu, the prospective proprietress, greeted her casually.

"I'll just say it's delicious. As long as you eat it once, you'll definitely want to eat it the next day." Liu Feifei, who was recognized, was extremely arrogant.

But seeing that there were no customers in the store, which was completely different from the situation she had expected when the customers were full, the witch immediately lost her temper again.

"I don't know the goods, why don't you come here for such delicious skewers." Liu Yaonv muttered afterward, "Ma Liang, where is the incubator? I'm going to set up a stall at the door of the apartment to try some food."

The demon girl can't see good things that no one appreciates, so she immediately plans to take the initiative.

Ma Liang quickly persuaded him: "Don't worry, we will go to the food tasting event at night, the effect of the food tasting in broad daylight is not good."

Those night owls are hungry at night, how can they smell this fragrance when they come out to look for food.

It's the same as seeing a roadside barbecue stall. No matter how expensive you are, you are willing to eat skewers. The principle of skewers is similar.

Liu Feifei just gave up and asked for a few skewers, sat with Jiang Yinqiu, and ate them out of anger.

It was Ma Liang's first time doing business, seeing that the Chuan Chuan shop was not popular at the beginning, it was impossible to say that it was not in a hurry.

But as the boss, he couldn't show it. He could only pretend to be calm, so as to reassure the employees.

Fortunately, once in a while, one or two classmates would come in, so the shop didn't become cold at last.

If that was the case, it would be very embarrassing for everyone to stare and wait.

"Ma Liang, congratulations." At this moment, a beautiful figure suddenly walked in outside the shop, it was the counselor Lin Fengyun who hadn't seen him for a long time.

She originally went to the dormitory to say goodbye to Ma Liang, but she only found out about coming here after asking the classmates in the next dormitory.

She has no nostalgia for leaving Huazheng. Although she is a little sad, she has never mentioned it to anyone except to report her resignation to the leader.

Inexplicably, she thought of Ma Liang, the only person she wanted to say goodbye to before leaving, the "kid" who drank with her and played and sang for her on the steps under the moon.

This stunned Jiang Yinqiu and Liu Feifei. It's good that the demon girl didn't know each other. Jiang Yinqiu had known about this effervescent counselor teacher in the academy.

She never expected that Lin Fengyun would also come here to support her.

The woman's sixth sense started to work again, and there was a strange flash in her eyes, and she glared at Ma Liang with an unnatural expression.

Ma Liang was also taken aback, and immediately greeted: "Mr. Lin, welcome. Have you had lunch, can you have some skewers?"

"Well, I'll take a pack!" Lin Fengyun went straight to the cashier and ordered a lot of skewers.

It was clear that she was taking care of business, so she couldn't possibly eat that much.

Seeing that she wanted to pay, Ma Liang immediately stopped her and said, "No need, I'll buy you some food!"

"One yard is worth one yard. If you do business, you have to win a lottery." Lin Fengyun insisted on paying the money and could not refuse.

Ma Liang scratched his head in embarrassment, took out a few vouchers worth 10 yuan and 20 yuan and handed them over: "If you want to eat later, just come over anytime."

This is what he printed in advance, waiting for the next round of promotional activities to be used for the lucky draw.

"No, I'm leaving." Lin Fengyun's expression was calm, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him.

gone?Are you going to leave after all?
Ma Liang couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but he couldn't do anything, maybe leaving was her best choice.

He could only comfort with good words: "It's fine to leave, and start again in a different environment.

I don't want to say anything hypocritical, but I wish you the best of luck! "

"Well, I also wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money! I'm leaving." Lin Fengyun didn't say goodbye. Maybe she wanted to come, and it might be difficult to see each other in this life.

Ma Liang sent to the door, looking at her disappearing figure, felt a burst of emotion in his heart!
As the saying goes, from now on, the sound and dust will be quiet, and the spring mountains are like black grass and smoke!This walk, maybe it's just like the last life, never seeing each other again!
　There will be another chapter later, and I will try my best to sleep again every day.
