Chapter 152 Opening a Store
Chapter 152 Opening a Store
The next day, Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu went to the county again to find Chen Chengjun.
This was easier to discuss. The only issue they argued about for a long time was the dividend, as both parties were afraid that the other party would suffer a loss.
Finally, all the problems of opening a shop in the county were handed over to Chen Chengjun. She managed the shops and recruited people. She was also the boss in public.
Chen Chengyu will stay for a while until Chen Chengjun finds a suitable person to be the shopkeeper. The people she has in hand all have positions, and she also needs to find someone first.
Anyway, after the discussion, Chi Xiaotong will just be a hands-off shopkeeper, and she will just collect the money when the time comes! After all, the secret recipe is hers, and the supply of goods is in her hands!
If it weren't for the profit sharing, they would have to buy goods from Chi Xiaotong! The control was completely in Chi Xiaotong's hands.
After a while, Chi Xiaotong concentrated on doing research at home. Tian Yu spent most of his time looking after the two children. Sometimes Chi Xiaotong would ask Tian Yu to help. The children were left to Chen Chengshan.
Chen Chengyu and Mao Xiaoying traveled between the town and the county, helping with store matters, including selling candy.
……
Chi Xiaotong tried the ingredients little by little, looking for new methods and the best ratios. People always had to taste the finished products and give Chi Xiaotong comments and opinions.
Tian Yu is the first one, and of course Chen Chengshan and several children cannot escape either.
At first, Chen Chengshan was very happy, and the children were also looking forward to it. But after eating Chi Xiaotong's dark dishes several times, they were unwilling to continue trying them.
Only Tianyu supported her as always, helping her record the proportions, trying new products, giving her advice, and helping her improve.
Chi Xiaotong couldn't bear to let Tian Yu keep eating his dark cooking. Besides, a person's opinion would inevitably be one-sided.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling they were, Chen Chengshan and his children could not escape. There were also Chen Chengyu's wife and husband who occasionally came back.
Later, in order not to try the new product, Chen Chengyu simply used the excuse of being busy and took Zhao Pannu away. Chen Chengshan and his friends couldn't escape, so they could only hope that Chi Xiaotong's ratio was good this time and it wouldn't taste bad.
In this way, sometimes it tastes good, sometimes it tastes bad. After Chi Xiaotong's constant adjustments and the children's constant attempts, Chi Xiaotong finally developed several snacks before the store opened.
Most of it is still sugar. Based on the experience of his previous life and continuous adjustments, Chi Xiaotong made peanut candy, sesame candy, dragon beard candy, and bean crisp candy.
These were all things Chi Xiaotong had seen on her mobile phone in her previous life, but her memory was limited and there were no specific proportions, only some simple methods.
She could only imitate what she remembered and figure it out little by little. She tried little by little to figure out how to make it taste better.
She is just occupying this world, no one else is doing this, so she is taking advantage.
Of course, there is not only sugar, but also various dried fruits and candied fruits.
During this period, the children, especially Chen Chengshan, were tired of eating sweet food. I am afraid they will not want to eat sweet food for a long time.
Sometimes Chi Xiaotong puts too much sugar in candied fruit, which makes it very sweet. In order not to waste it, everyone has to share it and eat it slowly.
Since they all had experience over there, the store was remodeled very quickly. They just had to wait for Chi Xiaotong's supply to stabilize and they could open the store at any time.
Chi Xiaotong found the best formula and started mass production. At first, the few people were not enough, and it was difficult to make only hemp candy, not to mention the more styles now.
Fortunately, there is only this one in the town at the moment, and the ones from the county will wait and sell in the town for a while to test the waters.
They were all old employees of the sugar factory, and Chi Xiaotong trusted them all, so she simply taught each of them one recipe and asked people to cooperate with them to start making several snacks at the same time.
When the sugar factory opened, Chi Xiaotong and his family went to town and changed into new clothes.
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu stood aside, and Mao Xiaoying was in charge of the announcement. Originally, Chi Xiaotong should be the largest shareholder and the boss behind the scenes, so this matter should be handled by Chi Xiaotong.
But Chi Xiaotong was afraid of being recognized and that people would come to her to discuss business in the future. The thought of that made her feel overwhelmed, so she just asked for a viewing seat, and watched with Tian Yu, holding Tuantuan and the two children.
The task of dealing with the guests and those who came to congratulate them was handed over to Mao Xiaoying.
Mao Xiaoying also worked hard, greeting guests and dealing with temptations with a typical smile on her face.
"That's amazing! If it were me, I would have been given a headache by the noise! How could I chat and laugh with everyone? I admire you!" Chi Xiaotong sighed sincerely as she watched Mao Xiaoying wandering around.
Chen Chengyu also nodded in agreement. She could handle it, but it would be annoying. She just wouldn't show it. This kind of occasion is really noisy!
Tian Yu and Zhao Pannu looked at each other and laughed. It must be that they both have the ability to be the boss behind the scenes, otherwise why would they be sighing here?
However, the two of them are really lazy. If they can avoid showing up themselves, they will just hand it over to others. Anyway, the land deeds and the supply of goods are in their hands. They can make money anyway, so why bother!
Tuan Tuan no longer asked for candy when he saw it. He just wanted to try a new product. Chi Xiaotong also controlled the amount he ate, but he was still traumatized. It was really because Chi Xiaotong's eating skills were too unstable.
Sometimes it's not sweet at all, even bitter, and sometimes it's too sweet. After eating it twice, Tuantuan no longer likes to eat candy, for fear of eating something that tastes bad.
Chi Xiaotong didn't explain to him. It was just the right time for him to give up sugar. It was the time for teething and eating too much sugar was not good. If he didn't like it, it would save me from watching him all day, and I might not be able to keep an eye on him.
Seeing that the store was basically on track, Chen Chengyu went to say hello to Mao Xiaoying, and the few of them slipped away, leaving Mao Xiaoying alone to work.
The two families walked on the street, chatting as they strolled.
Zhao Pannu was a little worried and wanted to go back to help, but he always felt that it was a waste of money to hire people for everything.
There are many things in the store that I can do by myself, so there is no need to spend money to hire someone to do it. Tian Yu actually had the same idea, but Chi Xiaotong had already made up her mind, and he habitually did not refute it, as his wife always did the best for him.
Chen Chengyu noticed that Zhao Pannu was absent-minded and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Pannu did not hide anything and told her everything. Tian Yu heard it nearby and nodded in agreement. He also looked at Chi Xiaotong expectantly, wanting to go back to work and save the family some money for hiring people.
"You are not needed there. After all, I am a shareholder. If you go, you will be the small boss. We agreed that Mao Xiaoying will be in charge. If you go again, who will be in charge between the two of you?" said Chen Chengyu.
"She's the boss, and I'll be the waiter. That way I can hire one less person!"
Tian Yu nodded vigorously on the side.
"We are the boss, why should we do the work of a waiter? It's not like we can't afford it!" Chi Xiaotong was a hedonist and didn't understand it for a moment.
"It's different. If we go, we can save some money, and we have nothing to do!" Zhao Pannu tried hard to express her thoughts.
He is used to living a hard life, so he is not used to being a hands-off manager and always feels it is a waste of money.
"Do you think so too?" Chi Xiaotong kept nodding in agreement with Zhao Pannu's Tian Yu.
"Well, I know my wife feels bad for me, but I want to help!"
"I really can't stay here, and I don't want to work here! Go home, the sugar factory is still short of people! You two go back to supervise the work! How about this?"
