Chapter 295 Profit

  When the garment factory first built a public canteen, the scale of the canteen was far greater than the number of employees in the garment factory.

  Nowadays, there are only two to three hundred people in the garment factory, but the cafeteria can accommodate thousands of people to eat together, so even if workers from several factories around come to eat in the large cafeteria of the garment factory, they can still sit down.

   It’s just that the canteen chef didn’t cook too many portions at the beginning, until it increased every day. After a week, the canteen steadily cooked meals for more than 500 people at noon and evening every day.

  The quantity is limited, don’t wait when it’s out of date, and if you come late, you won’t have anything to eat.

   In addition to the booming business in the big cafeteria, the staff dormitory is also full of people.

Most of the three batches of workers recruited by the garment factory in recent months are from other counties, and they all rent houses nearby. After the construction of the staff dormitory this time, Liu Axing, the acting deputy director of the factory, made the decision to provide housing for those whose homes are not from the county. Employees with priority in dormitory arrangements.

  Now the first two rows of the newly built staff dormitory are full of people, and the third row has only been painted for a short time, and it still needs to be dried, and people will be arranged to live in next month.

  A Xing originally wanted to live in the staff dormitory, but at this stage, others need a place to live, so she waited for the third row of dormitories to be available, and then reserved a room for herself.

  The bathhouse will have a soft opening next month, and Lan Shu asked Liu Axing to find a place to print some bath tickets when she goes to the city next time.

   At that time, send a few copies to each of the factory workers in advance, and when the bathhouse opens, they can enjoy the joy of bathing with unlimited warm water.

  Lan Shu has already thought about it, and the employees in the factory will be given four tickets every month as employee benefits.

  For outsiders to take a bath, a ticket costs 60 cents to 80 cents, and the price depends on the situation.

  There are quite a few factories nearby, but there is only one bathhouse. When the bathhouse opens, the income from selling only tickets will be considerable every month.

Although the money earned by the canteen now and the bathhouse in the future is a drop in the bucket compared to the business of the clothing factory, it’s nothing at all, but any money can be accumulated from a small amount. For Lan Shu, as long as it is profitable She will support and pay attention to any project.

  …

   On the other side, Haicheng.

  Xu Qi took the 500 yuan given by Lan Shu, and bought two counters on the second floor of the largest and most prosperous shopping mall in Haicheng.

  The length of each counter is 1.3 meters, and the two are 2.6 meters next to each other, which can basically hold the products they want to sell.

   After finding the counter here, Xu Qi immediately started to recruit the teller. At the same time, she did not forget to call the Kyoto side and ask the Kyoto side to deliver the goods with the car.

  The cosmetics counter in Haicheng, Lan Shu told Lan Weicheng in advance that the counter was opened under the name of "Lan's Pure Plant Brand", so it has nothing to do with the Lan family, it is her own business.

  Lan Weicheng has no objection to this. He didn't even spend much effort on the cosmetics counter in Jingdu Huasha Shopping Mall. It was all because of his daughter's help to the family.

  So when the counter in Haicheng opened, although Lan Weicheng didn't show up, he asked someone to send ten flower baskets there on the day the counter opened, which was enough to support the appearance!

  On the opening day of the counter in Haicheng, the pure plant skin care products attracted the attention of many people. Although the sales were not as high as the peak level in Kyoto, they still sold more than 800 yuan.

  The next day, the sales increased and exceeded 1,000. This was the case when only skin care products, essential oil soaps and lipsticks were on the counter, and no other cosmetics were on the counter.

   At the cosmetics counter in Haicheng, Lan Shu doesn't plan to sell foreign products, and the name of pure plants is listed, so all cosmetics and skin care products must be produced in-house to ensure the quality.

  …

  In mid-September, a crispy fried chicken restaurant opened on a street not far from Linjiang City Hospital.

  The store opened, and the business was good that day.

  People who come to buy fried chicken are all attracted by the aroma of fried chicken, whether they are old people or children, they cannot resist the temptation of crispy fried chicken!

  Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang began to study fried chicken half a month ago under the guidance of their daughter. When they were in the village, they had already mastered the best taste and temperature of fried chicken after five ovens of fried chicken.

  The freshly killed chickens are marinated overnight, and fried in a giant pressure cooker the next day. Three pots of fried chicken can be produced every day, a total of 120 chickens.

  At the beginning, the old couple didn’t prepare too many chickens, thinking that they couldn’t sell that many chickens, so they sold 60 chickens a day a few days ago.

  Later, the fried chicken was sold out after two o’clock in the afternoon every day, and after the two of them increased as appropriate, they finally kept 100 to 110 chickens a day, just enough to sell them all.

  After opening the shop for a week, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang settled their accounts.

  The chickens they sell cost two yuan and five each, bought from their children’s chicken farms, slaughtered and marinated to make fried chicken, one sells for four yuan, and each can only earn one yuan and five.

  In addition to selling fried chicken, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, and chicken livers are made of marinated goods.

  The income from selling 'three pieces of chicken' every day is enough to cover the rent for opening the shop, as well as the seasoning and rapeseed oil used to make fried chicken.

   Calculated in this way, they can earn at least 150 yuan by selling 100 chickens a day, and they can earn 4,500 yuan in 30 days a month!

   Such income, in the past, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn't even dare to think about it!

  But now, the money they received this week is real gold and silver lying in their money boxes, so much that it is simply fascinating!

  Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang knew that they were able to make so much money thanks to their daughter.

   In addition to the recipe for making crispy fried chicken is given by their daughters, it is their daughters who let them open the shop with peace of mind and solve all their worries for them.

  It takes five hours a day to travel from Tianshui Village to Linjiang City, and it takes at least four or five hours to kill chickens and process and marinate them every day.

  At first, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang planned to work on their own, even if it was a bit harder, they were not afraid of hardship.

   But when Shushu calculated the time and cost for them, the two realized that even if they were not afraid of hard work, they couldn't do so much work every day.

  So Lan Shu recruited people in the village to kill chickens and clean and marinate them every day. The chickens provided by the chicken farm are fully processed, marinated chickens that can be fried directly in the stove.

  In this way, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang only need to rent a house near the store, and wait for the processed chickens to be delivered from the village to the city every day, and then make and sell them.

   It is also because of such an orderly arrangement that their business can last for a long time.

  …

  Linjiang City Hospital, during the noon break after get off work, Lan Xiuming came out of the hospital, rode his bicycle, and rushed to the front of his parents' fried chicken shop.

  Looking at the long queue at the door, Lan Xiuming didn't know whether he should line up at the back, or use his status advantage to go directly to the front?
