Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Cong and the others went to the crew to watch the filming. What surprised Shen Chi was that Liu Yuzhe did not follow them this time.
Seeing that Shen Chi was about to go out, Liu Yuzhe asked, "Shen Chi, are you okay when you go down the mountain?"
"Well, yesterday I hired people from Yuanjia Village to help, so I have to go down the mountain to arrange work for them." Shen Chi replied.
Liu Yuzhe wanted to see how Shen Chi did business, so he asked, "Can I go and have a look?" Shen Chi smiled and said, "It's not a secret. If you want to go, just go."
The two went directly to the bakery. At this time, the people from Yuanjia Village whom Yuan Jiaoting was looking for were already waiting in the shop.
Shen Chi - all of them looked like women's soldiers, but fortunately they were not very old. There was also a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old among them. Shen Chi vaguely remembered that her name was Yuan Meihong, and she was the daughter of Yuan Jiaotian.
Seeing how she started working at such a young age, it's obvious that she didn't study anymore after graduating from junior high school.
"Xiao Chi, you're here." The speaker was Chunsheng's daughter-in-law Guixiang. She has a good relationship with Shen Chi's aunt Shen Aizhi.
"Aunt Guixiang, you have come out to work too!" Shen Chi asked with a smile.
"Niuniu went to school last year and I was idle at home." Guixiang also replied with a smile.
"Okay, originally I planned to arrange for you to go to the store I opened in the city, but the store is still in the preparation stage. You first go to the store in the county to get used to it, and then wait for my store in the city. I will arrange for you to go there when the store opens. "Shen Chi explained the situation to everyone first.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Shen Chi planned to take everyone to the county seat. When he saw Yuan Meihong, Shen Chi said, "Sister Meihong, just stay here with me. My milk tea shop just needs people."
Yuan Meihong wished she didn't have to go to the county town, so she left three helpers for Huang Dong and took the other six, Shen Chi, to the farmer's supermarket in the county town.
Only then did Liu Yuzhe realize that he had underestimated Shen Chi. It turned out that his business had grown so big, and he was surprised by this.
Shen Changlin was surprised to see that Shen Chi had brought so many people here. Shen Chi told his father that he had chosen a store location in the county. These people would be sent to the city in the future and they should get familiar with them here first. Let’s talk about business.
As for Shen Chi's matters, Shen Changlin seldom asks anything about it now. He just takes whatever he says.
Therefore, Shen Changlin didn't say much about Shen Chi opening a store in the city.
It happened that the goods in the store were almost sold out, and he had to go back to replenish the goods. After telling the old employees in the store, Shen Changlin planned to return to the villa with Shen Chi.
Liu Yuzhe was probably stimulated by Shen Chi, so he decided to work hard and became interested in the joint store.
Seeing that the two of them were going back to the villa, Liu Yuzhe said, "You guys go back first. I plan to go find my aunt and see how her store is doing."
Shen Chi thought it would be better to talk about the store as soon as possible, so he nodded and said, "Then come to me at Lei Gongping."
Liu Yuzhe nodded to express his understanding, so he took the county bus back to the city. Shen Chi also returned to Leigongping with his father.
Zhang Cong and the others didn't come back during lunch. It seemed that they were familiar with the crew and had their meals there.
Shen Changlin put down his bowls and chopsticks and quickly organized people to go fishing in the reservoir.
The fish in the fish pond in the supermarket have been sold out. I was afraid that the business would be bad before so I didn’t fish more. Unexpectedly, as soon as the store opened, many old customers learned that he had opened a store here, and they all lamented that this should have happened long ago.
Shen Chi expected that with his father's living sign in the store, the farmer's supermarket in the county did not have a slowdown period for new stores, but business became booming within a few days.
After taking the water tank containing the fish and putting it on the boat, Shen Changlin and the hired helper Gan Laosan were divided into two shifts, and both fishing boats were used.
Casting a net is a laborious job and requires taking turns.
The caught fish were kept in fish boxes because they had to be delivered to the county town, so they had to be kept fresh. Gui Shuzhen took Chen Xiuhe and the others to collect eggs and duck eggs, and they also grabbed two cages of chickens and ducks each.
Seeing his parents replenishing goods, Shen Chi also returned to the room and started making a list to prepare goods for the upcoming store in the city.
egg
Duck eggs, raw chickens and ducks, and fish from the reservoir are essential. Godfather Sun Fuqiang and the rice factory in Yuanjiacun can also make up the variety.
Seasonal vegetables produced in the villa are not worth much and are troublesome, but as daily necessities, some must be put on display as a means to attract customers.
Stores in the city are no better than those in the county. With my father in charge, I have to do my best to attract customers.
There are also rice, flour, etc. Although Shen Chi has not developed high-quality rice yet, the rice produced in Wangshanzhuang has been nourished by spiritual energy. Even the early rice with extremely poor taste is more delicious than ordinary rice.
After thinking for a while, Shen Chi added the peanut oil that was squeezed this year, which was also produced in the villa. He looked at the list in his hand, and found that the grains, oils, rice and noodles, vegetables and fruits, eggs, fish and meat were almost all there.
The purchasing power of people in the city is stronger than that in counties and towns, so Shen Chi added pork.
The pigs at home have been raised for more than a year, and they were kept alive last year in preparation for the supermarket. Shen Chi plans to ask Zhang Butcher from the town to help slaughter one pig on the opening day, and three shops will get one share to see the sales. How is it going.
Shen Chi looked at the cargo list again and made sure that there was nothing missing, so Shen Chi put the list away.
When I came out, I saw my father and the others struggling to carry the fish, chickens, ducks and other produce to the car. I thought that the supermarket had been on the right track in the past, and it would definitely be too busy for my father to deliver the goods alone.
And the manpower in the villa is becoming increasingly scarce.
The matter of inviting people has to be put on the agenda, and I plan to take some time to discuss this matter with my father. I am going to university soon, and I need to make arrangements for the store, especially the supermarket in the city, before I leave.
Nowadays, communications are not yet developed, and it is not like later when someone could be contacted by a mobile phone. In fact, the brick-like communication phone "Big Brother" is already on the market.
But one model costs more than 10,000 yuan, and it will be phased out in a few years. Shen Chi feels that there is no need to pay this "IQ tax".
Helping his father and the others to load the goods into the car, Shen Changlin casually mentioned that the villa should recruit workers. Shen Changlin said: "Ordinary workers are easy to find, but drivers are hard to find now."
"Didn't my godfather have a fleet of e-cars? From now on, my godfather will deliver the goods in the county, and dad, you will be in charge of the stores in our city." Shen Chi said to his father.
"Okay, you can talk to your godfather later," Shen Changlin replied.
Chen Xiuhe's husband, Gan Laosan, was loading a basket of eggs into the car. When he heard Shen Chi saying that the villa was looking for workers, he hurriedly asked: "There are many young and strong laborers in our village. How many people do you want to recruit?"
They didn't know before that the wages of workers in Shen Chi's family were so high, but now that Jing Gan Laosan came back and told them, everyone was envious.
It's just that they didn't want to come before, and now that the Shen Chi family hasn't said anything about inviting anyone, everyone can only stare.
As soon as Gan Laosan heard that he wanted to invite people, he invited people from his own village, hoping that the wealth would not go to other people's fields.
"The two people on the farm are obviously not enough, and I also want to expand the number of pigs to one hundred. Even though tens of thousands of chickens are free-range, two or three people will take care of them. In addition to the orchards and fields, Dad, let's hire ten more people. I guess." Shen Chi roughly figured it out and said to Shen Changlin.
"It's up to you to take care of everything." Since Shen Changlin has directly become the hands-off shopkeeper.
Shen Chi made up his mind and said to Mr. Gan: "Uncle Third, please hire ten more workers for me."
Gan Laosan happily agreed, saying that he would go back tomorrow to help Guangchi find the person.
As soon as the goods were loaded, Huang Weiguo came. It turned out that he was going to take Teacher Huang to the county for a physical review. "Uncle Wei Guo, why are you here at this time?" Shen Chi asked curiously.
"I took my dad to the county seat for a review. It has been delayed for several days. The store is too busy." Huang Weiguo replied with a smile.
He had just finished his business for the day and had time to come out.
Shen Chi nodded understandingly. It would be a good idea to check again regularly.
Although Teacher Huang's condition has now been completely controlled, Shen Chi has not yet found a way to kill the cancer cells in Teacher Huang's body. We must not take it lightly at this time.
Shen Changlin happened to be delivering goods to the county town, so he took Teacher Huang and Huang Weiguo with him.
When they were having dinner, Zhang Cong and the others finally came back and saw that the three of them were beaming with joy. It was obvious that they had become extras again today.
"Why don't you see Yu Zhe, where are the others?" Zhang Cong raised his eyes and looked around. "He went back to the city to inquire about the store." Shen Chi replied.
"Why did you leave without telling us? I don't know how Auntie inquired about the store." Zhang Cong muttered.
"It's rare that you are thinking about our store during your busy schedule." Shen Chi said sarcastically.
"Why don't I remember our story? This is the first store in my life. I will go back tomorrow to raise money." Zhang Cong announced loudly.
Yang Ming and others on the side also nodded and said: "We have been out for so many days, we should go back and take a look, otherwise the family should be worried."
When Mrs. Hu heard that they were leaving, she had been busy here for so many days. When she suddenly heard that they were going back, she said with some reluctance: "You are going back now? Why don't you stay a few more days?"
"Grandma, we'll be back in a few days and I'll bring a change of clothes this time." Zhang Cong said with a smile.
Shen Chi secretly thought: "As expected." He rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart.
After dinner, everyone took turns to take a shower. Zhang Cong and the others crowded in the main room with the farm workers to watch TV. Shen Chi returned to the room and opened the system panel. He looked at the accumulated spiritual energy and sighed in his heart: " I don’t have enough spiritual energy.”
As the people of Yuanjia Village cooperated more deeply, it became obvious that both the springs and the fertilizer pool were in short supply.
The fertilizer plant is okay, it can be slowed down if it is not supplied in time, but the spring water supply cannot be slowed down even for a moment.
In the past, 500 cubic meters of water per day was enough for my family and the people in Tangsun Village. Now that Yuanjia Village is also fetching water from the village to make rice wine, the water consumption has suddenly increased, and it is very difficult to supply 500 cubic meters per day.
