Coins and banknotes of various denominations, and they were all small tickets. Everyone worked together and counted them together for 20 minutes.
"Is it true or false? I can't count it wrong, right?" Ye Shu was surprised: "We actually sold more than 600 yuan a day?"
632.5, of course US dollars.
Everyone except Hua Zhao's eyes widened when they heard the number she reported.
No matter where you are, it is surprising and happy to earn a month's salary for ordinary people in one day.
"It's about to make a profit. It's not that you haven't seen money before. You made money for a year in one day." Hua Zhao smiled.
Ye Shu also smiled: "That's different, it's in China, the way to get money is not much, not much, even if I don't have money, I can live with confidence.
"But it's different here." She said with a smile: "Here, I feel like I'm worried, I have no future, I have no money, I live today without tomorrow."
No sense at all.
A bit exaggerated, but that's what it means.
Everyone nodded.
They feel the same way.
I was in my own home before, and I could live no matter what. But it's different in other people's homes. A penny beats a hero.
No money, no food, no house, or even a plane ticket to go home. The worst thing is that you may sleep on the street, or work in the dark, and become a shadowy existence.
This situation is just one day at a time, and they can't accept it for a while.
But now, they have money again.
The survival problem is solved, and they feel like they can breathe.
"What's our cost today?" Ye Shu asked, but she took out the book on her body and opened it.
She is the accountant of the hotel, and she is responsible for all the bills for purchases.
"Not counting the rent for artificial seasonings, just vegetables, flour and meat, it's 55 yuan... so cheap?" She was stunned after the calculation.
Hua Zhao nodded, the cost was right.
California is said to supply 50% of the country's fruit and 31% of the country's vegetables, and the output of wheat and rice is among the best.
So it will be cheaper to buy flour and vegetables here.
"We'll do more tomorrow! All the costs will be recovered in a few days! Then we'll go buy a car!" Ye Shu said excitedly.
"Buy a car first, the cost is not urgent." Hua Zhao tried hard to reverse her conservative thinking.
"Taking a taxi every day is very dangerous," Hua Zhao said.
"Yes." Liu Ming immediately said: "Today, this driver's eyes are a little evil."
"Alright then." Ye Shu immediately compromised.
Nothing is more important than the safety of the children.
"And will you be able to raise your hand tomorrow?" Hua Zhao smiled.
It sold for more than 600 yuan today, the fraction is the meat money, and the rest is the income from dumplings.
This means that a few of them made 6,000 dumplings a day!
An average of 1000 per person.
She is strong and not tired at all, but the others, she suspects they have never made so many dumplings in their lives.
"It's a little sour." Ye Shu squeezed her arm, she chopped up so much meat, even if she was a trainee, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Liu Ming and Zhou Bing smiled and were embarrassed to talk, and so were they, and they were not skilled in making dumplings, so they made very few dumplings.
The two aunts really couldn't take it anymore. They are all ordinary people, even if they do little, they don't stop for a day.
"I decided to raise everyone's wages." Hua Zhao said: "In the past, you used to pay tens of yuan a month. Now we go to the countryside and follow the local standard, each person is 600 US dollars a month, plus bonuses."
Ye Shu grinned in distress, but didn't say anything.
It's a bit of a joke when we're all here, and giving people dozens of RMB a month.
Several people were very happy, including Liu Ming and Zhou Bing.
Seeing that the brothers who followed Hua Zhao made a fortune before, they didn't have the chance, so they were not in a hurry.
Who doesn't like money?
Although they have no wife and children to support now, they all have parents and brothers.
Now the good thing is finally their turn. Following Hua Zhao, they can really make a fortune!
600, or US dollars, including room and board, how much will it cost in two years? When they go home, they can't even imagine the feeling of returning home!
"In addition, the store has to recruit people." Hua Zhao said: "Of course, only Chinese people are recruited."
It is estimated that the Chinese have some basics in making dumplings and noodles. Even if they don’t, they can get started quickly.
But asking them to teach foreigners how to make dumplings is a bit difficult for Hua Zhao.
"It's not necessary to recruit people." Ye Shu began to feel distressed about money again: "It's 600 yuan for one person."
In this way, one person will take up one day's income, plus the cost, if you recruit a few more people, the money they earn each month will shrink significantly.
"Accounts need to be calculated like this. If there are more people, the income will rise." Hua Zhao said:
"Today we are newly opened, and there are not many people coming, and there will be more and more in the future. We will make Huajia Dumplings an Internet celebrity...and a very popular shop.
"The amount of sales per day is not determined by the number of customers, but by our output. We can sell as much as we pack. It is sold out during the day and closed at night."
When excited, he almost slipped his tongue.
In fact, Hua Zhao is also the first time to open a restaurant, and she knows very well how difficult it is for authentic Chinese food to be accepted.
Just a few decades later, most of those authentic Chinese restaurants rely on the Chinese to support them.
Foreigners still like to "improve" and do not accept any explanation!
Fortunately, in the end, she succeeded by relying on her abilities.
Hua Zhao knew that without her "cheating", it would be impossible to have today's hot scene.
"Okay..." Ye Shu was persuaded again. Now what Hua Zhao says, she listens.
The next day, the business was even hotter. Halfway through the afternoon, the same amount of ingredients as yesterday was sold out.
Recruitment notices were also posted, in Simplified Chinese, and five or six people applied for the job that day.
California is the state with the most Chinese.
Hua Zhao is going to go to the Agricultural University, although there are no international students from the mainland, but there are children of local Chinese.
Not only Hua Zhaofu's alumni, but also the parents of the alumni came to apply.
Hua Zhao conducted a simple assessment on them. Those who could work hard, would work hard, and were diligent were all accepted.
In a few days, the store has grown to a size of 20 people, and the empty kitchen is suddenly full.
This does not include the two aunts of Hua Showa.
They have been separated, and taking care of their children is their most important job.
And Liu Ming, who also came out, was a driver for Hua Zhao and the others.
Ye Shu and Zhou Bing stayed in the store as management, and finally got out of the daily routine of chopping stuffing and making dumplings every day.
The income of Huajia Dumplings is also increasing day by day, as Hua Zhao expected.
Still thanks to the city's huge population, and their hunger marketing model.
Even if it grows to 20 people, all the ingredients will be sold out before dinner time is over.
Every day there are always some people who can't eat and come to line up early the next day.
And because there was no dine-in, there were always people lining up at the door.
This is a bit of an appetite, and it is very successful.
In addition, Hua Zhao also used some conventional means, such as coupons, leaflets, advertisements in newspapers and so on.
In short, the daily income is stable at their output, 3,000 yuan per day.
If it is a skilled worker, each person can make two or three thousand dumplings a day.
And Hua Zhao gave them "pieces" to calculate money, there is no one who doesn't work hard!
A month and a half later, Hua Zhao took out all the proceeds that belonged to her and bought a bulletproof car.
She was really a little scared where it was legal to carry a gun, especially because she was afraid of hurting the child.
In addition to the remaining money, she equipped herself and Liu Ming with equipment.
She was going to start walking around, school was a month away, and it was time to go out and find out where her father was.
