Chapter 383: Getting Busy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Qingming, who was thousands of miles away, naturally did not know that the child’s father was actually talking to her parents about her.
She was very busy now.
Because it was the busy farming season again.
Gu Qingming wished she could have a clone technique to finish all the work she wanted to do.
First of all, the company had already been established and the office building had long been built.
The office building was a very beautiful 500 square meter villa.
In front of the villa, there was a courtyard. There were some flowers and plants planted, and they were beautifully trimmed.
The backyard of the villa was a parking lot.
Back then, after the entire office building was completed, the entire village gathered around. Looking at the office building, it was a rare sight.
Although the company was established and the office building was built, employees were still scarce and the recruitment process was still ongoing.
When the office building was listed, almost all the villagers ran over to watch the commotion and congratulate Gu Qingming and the Shi family.
After the office building was completed, everyone moved to the office building to work.
Now, Stoneback Village’s Qingkang Green Food Company was famous throughout Shahe Town.
However, most of the people who came to apply for the job were people who did physical work and had strength.
However, there were many of these people in Stoneback Village.
Gu Qingming urgently needed to hire a human resources manager.
If she really couldn’t find anyone, she could only find a resource consultancy company to help recruit people. She didn’t have to personally interview and ask about everything.
Zhou Fangfang was still in charge of the online shop.
After three to four months of development, the shop’s traffic had increased, and the things in the shop were becoming easier to sell.
The most gratifying thing was that Shi Youliang’s glutinous rice cakes were the most popular.
Putting aside the large number of orders on the Internet every day, there were a few big customers now. There were a few fixed large orders every day.
Previously, a hotel manager had tried to make recommendations to clients after eating his rice cakes. Many people liked it.
In the past, most of the banquets and desserts were cakes done in the western style. Many people of the older generation did not like these.
However, after the introduction of glutinous rice cakes, the flavors were popular among the adults. Most people liked it, regardless of gender, age, or age.
What was even more surprising was that the older generation ate this glutinous rice cake. It was completely handmade. The glutinous rice was soft and fragrant. When they ate it, there was an indescribable festive taste, so they liked it very much.
As for young people and children, they simply liked this soft and sweet taste.
After the hotel launched the glutinous rice cakes, more and more customers came to contract them for banquets because many elders liked the taste.
The hotel in this city followed suit. Through channels, they found out where the glutinous rice cakes came from and cooperated with the Liangming Glutinous Rice Cake Factory.
When the family’s business improved, Shi Youliang and his wife were the only ones working and could not handle the work.
Hence, they got their son and daughter-in-law to help.
Working for others was not better than running your own business.
Now, the fixed orders for the rice cake factory were three thousand dollars a day. There were also scattered orders online every day, ranging from 20 to 30 orders to 1,000 to 2,000 orders.
Therefore, Shi Youliang’s family would earn at least 3,000 to 4,000 dollars a day. After deducting their capital, they would earn more than 1,000 dollars a day. This was equivalent to 30,000 dollars a month.
This made the villagers extremely envious.
Many people felt regretful.
If they had listened to Gu Qingming back then and applied for a hygiene license like Shi Youliang, perhaps their family’s things could be sold well.
Hence, some people immediately went to the Health Bureau to apply for a hygiene permit.
After the certificate was signed, they immediately asked Zhou Fangfang to take a photo and post it online.
Before the products were put on the shelves, Zhou Fangfang explained the rules very seriously. “Auntie, the processed food sold on our website must be fresh materials, and it must be marked on the packaging!”
The villagers promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely use fresh materials!”
They all wanted to learn from Shi Youliang’s family and earn a lot of money.
They would not do something as stupid as killing the goose that laid the golden eggs or shooting themselves in the foot.
Shi Youliang and his wife had the skills to make glutinous rice cakes. They also had the skills to make their own specialties.
They believed Gu Qingming’s words now. There was definitely nothing wrong!
Since they wanted to sell food, they had to use fresh raw materials. As long as the food was well-made and the customers ate well, the probability of repurchasing was especially high.
Gradually, the specialty shops became more and more popular. Many customers knew that the food in this shop was strictly curated. They could definitely eat it without worry.
As the business of the shop became better and better, Zhou Fangfang was busy with the shop alone.
The rest was easy, but the customer service required her to be online 24 hours a day and reply at any time.
Even in the middle of the night, when she was sleeping soundly, she had to get up to reply when she heard the message.
If this went on, even a person made of iron would not be able to take it.
Zhou Fangfang’s parents looked at their child and their hearts ached.
However, they did not persuade the child to stop working.
They clearly realized that Zhou Fangfang liked this job very much.
Fortunately, after Third Sister-in-law went to the county city to learn computing, she officially became an employee and worked the same shift as Zhou Fangfang.
Only then did Zhou Fangfang feel less tired.
However, the two employees in the shop were still too few. There had to be at least three. That way, they would not look so busy and tired in terms of time.
The three of them would work in three shifts.
Of course, it would be even better if Gu Qingming could recruit more than four people.
The shop’s business was getting better and better, but it only took a 3% commission. The monthly operating profit was only barely enough to cover Zhou Fangfang’s salary, electricity, and internet fees. There was no profit at all.
However, Gu Qingming’s goal in opening this online shop was not to earn benefits, but to sell items through the online shop.
Even though there were already two people, Zhou Fangfang and Third Sister-in-law, Lin Qinglan, were still very busy.
All the land at home that could be used to build greenhouses had been allocated. The remaining land could be finished by Grandma Shi.
As for the management of the navel oranges on the mountain, she did not know much about them and delegated the work; she usually hired more people to fertilize the umbilical orange and reduce its leaves.
As long as they finished this work, she would basically have a lot of free time.
When she went to work, her family only hired one more person.
Third sister-in-law had a lot to learn from Zhou Fangfang. Zhou Fangfang had studied computer for a year. Although she studied while working, she was more adept at applying her knowledge than Third Sister-in-law, who only learned the typing system and ordinary office software system.
However, Third Sister-in-law was very hardworking.
Third brother, Shi Yaoqing, felt heartache and helplessness at the same time. He could only massage his wife’s sore shoulders more when they rested at night.
It was also the first time he knew that his wife was actually so motivated!
