Chapter 43 Shocked
Looking at Aunt Qin directly opposite her, the red door number is particularly conspicuous;
The most conspicuous thing is the people inside Aunt Qin;
Even though it was already around 11 o'clock at noon, there was still a sea of people inside Aunt Qin;
Some people are holding baskets and waiting in line to pay, while others are holding baskets to choose vegetables;
Then look at the food restaurant next to the five of you. It is also a vegetable shop. Although the business is good, it is a bit shabby compared to Aunt Qin.
Liu Long pointed to the front, "Boss Ma said his store is called Aunt Qin, it should be the store in front, let's go and have a look";
Several people were also shocked by the people inside Aunt Qin's shop. Instead, they became quiet and walked towards Aunt Qin's shop.
When Ma Yi came out, he saw Liu Long and the others walking this way. He quickly waved and walked in their direction.
At a glance, Liu Long and the five others are still in the same spirit as before;
Liu Long, tall and burly, wearing a blue T-shirt, black shorts, and blue flip-flops;
Jia Jie, wearing a colorful shirt, colorful shorts, and colorful flip-flops;
Liao Feng, dressed more formally, wearing a black T-shirt, black shorts, and white sneakers;
Zhao Ke, with naturally curly hair, a shirt with black flowers, blue denim shorts, and red flip-flops;
Team Leader Hua, wearing long hair and a shawl, tall figure, white women's overalls, long blue jeans, and pink flat shoes;
"Haha, Liu Long, Jia Jie, Liao Feng, the section chief, and the flower team leader are all here";
"Make you laugh";
At this moment, Ma Yibo was wearing a red kongfu shirt with the word "Aunt Qin" printed on it, shorts, and black rain boots;
There are still some beads of sweat on my forehead. Even in an air-conditioned room, it will be very hot when doing physical work.
"Okay, you guys go around here first. I'll find a shop at the entrance of this community. Let's have a meal at noon. We originally planned to drink together in the evening."
At this time, everyone, including Liu Long, was a little embarrassed;
They are so busy, but if they come here themselves, they can't do anything to help them, and they are also delaying them.
"Yi Bo, don't worry about us, just do your work first. If you want our help, just let us know. If there are more people, we will get there quickly."
At this time, not only Liu Long, but also the other five people felt deeply;
Ma Yibo at this moment gave them the feeling of being in two different worlds;
Ma Yibo is already working hard for his career, and they are still eating, drinking and having fun, just like they did in college, besides going to work.
People are afraid of comparison, especially with people they are familiar with. If everyone is the same, it will not show up;
But once someone is different, the impact on those around them will be great;
Just now, Ma Yibo came out wearing Aunt Qin's red work clothes, which shocked everyone greatly, especially since Aunt Qin's business is still so good.
"It's okay, there are a lot of staff in the store. Just now, a family came to pick up groceries due to an important event, and suddenly they became anxious, so I went to help";
For Aunt Qin, who has already gone on the regular track, Ma Yibo did not unload and load the goods personally as he did at the beginning, but handed it over to Feng Yun and Duan Lang, and occasionally Liu Wei helped;
Four people, even if they are scheduled to take breaks, can fully meet the needs of loading and unloading goods in the store;
But today, someone was indeed having a wedding at home. The dishes he ordered elsewhere were not enough and some were missing, so he bought them directly from Aunt Qin. This is why Ma Yibo was so busy just now.
"How about I take you in to have a look, but it's quite crowded?"
People came here specifically to check out his shop. It would be unreasonable not to bring him in, but let's go in. There are too many people, so we can only make do with it.
"What's the matter? Let's go in and take a look and learn more. Boss Ma's business is getting better and better now";
Ma Yibo came out at the beginning, which had a huge impact on Liu Long and the others. In addition, their friendship had only been for a month, so Liu Long did not directly tease Boss Ma when he called Ma Yibo like he did before;
Instead, it unconsciously turned into Yibo to show respect;
But at this moment, when I saw Ma Yibo in front of me, he was still the same as before, and he immediately became known as Boss Ma in a relaxed manner.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look and give you some advice. It's my first time doing it and I don't understand a lot of it";
Ma Yibo also said politely that although he had a prophet in 1989, it was the first time to open a physical store. Everyone would have their own opinions on the same thing.
After walking around, it was actually inside Aunt Qin’s shop, walking around the dishes in the middle;
Liu Long and six people entered, and the originally crowded space suddenly became even more crowded;
However, everyone didn't stop too much. After all, they didn't understand much and just looked at the layout inside;
Not to mention, Liu Long and others have never seen a vegetable shop with such a layout before;
Not only are discounts available after 7 pm and free after 11 pm, but the equipment and environment in the store are beyond the experience of buying food in their wet markets.
In Aunt Qin's shop, there was one person wearing the same clothes as Ma Yibo, cutting pork, two people at the cashier, and two selling vegetables, plus Ma Yibo himself, there were already six people;
The number of people was not small, and the scale was very different from what they had imagined before.
"Auntie, these are bamboo shoots, you can eat them stir-fried or stuffed";
When Ma Yibo was walking around the store, from time to time, uncles and aunts came to ask what the dish was called and how to make it;
And Ma Yibo, or in other words, all the employees in Aunt Qin, are now not only familiar with the names of the dishes, but also know one or two methods of making all the dishes.
"Boss Ma, you are very skilled in this business";
After coming out, the section chief also joked that in the store just now, at least three people were asking Ma Yibo what kind of dish this was and how to make it, but Ma Yibo did not hesitate and said it directly.
"Haha, this is how I make a living";
Ma Yibo took Liu Long and five others to a Hunan restaurant, and this Hunan restaurant was indeed quite large in Yike City;
According to Ma Yibo's understanding, the initial investment in this Hunan restaurant was 1.5 million yuan, not to mention subsequent labor costs.
"Come, come, let's eat some food. You can drink as much as you like at noon today. I guess I can't drink. I'm still busy in the afternoon."
Ma Yibo has been to this Hunan restaurant several times and is quite familiar with its signature dishes, which are also in line with public tastes;
Therefore, when it’s time to eat, Hunan restaurants are often crowded, especially on holidays;
Now there are almost no people at Yikecheng South Gate who don’t know Ma Yibo, especially those who open stores and do business;
I have some understanding of the grievances between Aunt Qin and Xiaoqing Vegetable Shop and Liao Tian;
However, the most well-known thing is Aunt Qin’s background, which is very secretive;
It is because of this relationship and the fact that Ma Yibo is usually very polite when he comes, that there is a scene where Ma Yibo and his group of seven people do not have to line up to eat.
"Okay, let's not drink at noon. We drank until early last night";
Liu Long is the biggest drinker in dormitory 602, even Ma Yibo is far behind;
Others may have seen Ma Yibo's shop, or they may have only known each other for a month, and there was a gap of one month in between. They felt a little strange, but they were not as open-minded as Liu Long;
This may be related to everyone's mentality, or it may be because Ma Yibo and Liu Long are in the same room;
In fact, the most important thing is that the relationship between Ma Yibo and Liu Long in the previous life was relatively close;
Therefore, every time Ma Yibo talks to Liu Long, he has a sense of intimacy.
"Yi Bo, how many people are there in your shop now?"
After everyone chatted for a while, Liao Feng asked Ma Yibo, "I did see six people just now, but who can be sure if there are still people busy in the store?"
"There are eight people in total. You should have seen it just now. There are six people in the store and two more in the warehouse."
For a vegetable shop with eight people, the labor cost is indeed very high;
This is only relative to the owners who open a shop, because their purpose is to support their families, just like Xiaoqing Vegetable Shop and Pincai Restaurant, which are both mom-and-pop shops;
But for bosses with ambitious goals, employees are like Han Xin’s troops, the more the better, because they will arrange all employees reasonably;
For Ma Yibo at this stage, a team of seven or eight people is indeed a good match;
If you look at it from a development perspective, there is nothing wrong with it, because the onboarding and training of personnel takes time;
You can definitely learn it in the first Aunt Qin store, and when the second one opens, you can just go there and get started;
"Eight people, wouldn't it be a bit much?"
The section chief then said that in today's world, labor costs account for a very high proportion. If there is only such a shop and eight people to maintain it, the cost will be too high.
