Su Qingluan came to "Su Ji". Although it was on the same street as the shop originally rented from Xie's Mansion, the location was slightly farther than the shop in Xie's Mansion.
However, for Su Qingluan, there are many benefits to being a little biased.
First of all, the most intuitive benefit is that the price is much lower. Because it is at the end of a street, and the connected road is a deep and narrow road, which is not busy, so the yard at the back is larger than the shop in Xie's Mansion, and if the whole shop is After paying for it, the price is still fifty taels cheaper;
In addition, because the backyard of her shop is close to a fork in the road, there are no houses nearby, and she does not have to worry about disturbing others when doing jam processing inside. When she first chose the shop here, it was mostly because of the ones at the back. courtyard.
As for the fact that the door curtain is relatively remote, Su Qingluan doesn't need to worry at all, because fundamentally speaking, the main job of her "Su Ji" head office is not to "sell goods" but to "provide goods sources." Every time three branches come to pick up goods regularly, the only thing Su Qingluan has to worry about is whether the goods can be delivered to the shopkeepers of each branch at the agreed time.
The two big characters on the plaque "Su Ji" were written by Mu Xingzhi - after all, among the people Su Qingluan knew, he was the one with the best calligraphy. At that time, Su Qingluan said half-jokingly: "If you really become famous in the future, then this plaque itself will be enough to become a living sign in my store. You have to write it well!"
When you enter the shop, you will see neat solid wood shelves, exuding a simple atmosphere. Displayed on the shelves are a dazzling array of bottles and cans - of course, these are all empty.
Some of these jars are the outer packaging of various previous series of jams that have been produced, as well as design samples of new series of packaging that have not yet been released, or containers from other companies that Su Qingluan finds interesting.
But there is only one thing that cannot be seen here: the outer packaging of the new jam in the seasonal design. Even the branches that come to pick up the goods don't know what the outer packaging looks like until they get the goods.
But in order to allow each branch to better introduce the features of new products to customers, Su Qingluan reserves one or two sets of "trial products" in each store for those with sensitive tastes and eloquent tongues. After tasting the goodness of various jams, they then "promote" new products - so in a sense, although the jam itself is also popular, it also has a certain relationship with the sales level of each store.
There are two people responsible for cleaning these shelves. Su Qingluan's requirement is that every shelf and every container must be wiped at least once a day in the morning, noon and evening.
This is not because Su Qingluan is deliberately torturing people. In fact, in order to pursue "exquisiteness", these containers are basically carved and hollowed out with great care. Although this kind of thing looks good, the details can easily hide dirt.
Unfortunately, although this place is a bit remote, it still faces the street. There is no cement floor these days, and there is a loess road outside, so it is conceivable that the dust is not as serious as usual.
How can there be dust outside the container for making jam? However, without the help of a vacuum cleaner and humidifier, Su Qingluan could only use the stupidest method-wiping more.
Fortunately, the people who work here are used to working in the fields. Su Qingluan assigned two people to wipe these shelves. He also found someone to calculate that it would take almost half an hour to wipe one side of the shelves. The workload in a day is about the same. More than two hours.
Considering that this work requires climbing up and down, which is quite tiring in itself, Su Qingluan does not intend to make this work directly into a "full load" task, so the overall workload will not be too heavy.
In such a large shop, apart from these two people, there is only one accounting clerk and one who is responsible for cleaning the warehouse on the second floor, and there is no one else.
It is completely different from the "depressed" appearance in front. Most of the staff are busy in the yard at the back.
Some put the jam in a pot and boil it, some add spices and salt in batches, and some are responsible for stirring constantly...
In short, it feels like "labor is the most glorious" and sweating profusely.
Today, Su Qingluan is not feeling well because of her menstrual period. Moreover, the "sanitary pants" she is wearing are made for Liu Yunniang. The size fits her figure perfectly, but Su Qingluan is shorter than her. , the position of the hip width is also somewhat different.
In this era, there were no elastic bands or stretch fabrics, so we had to rely on the straps on the menstrual belt to adjust the position, so the overall effect was not that fitting.
For this reason, Su Qingluan did not dare to be too casual when walking, for fear of causing side leakage and embarrassment.
As Su Qingluan's friend, Liu Yunniang naturally noticed something wrong with her movements right away. She put down the spices she was sifting through a sieve, patted the spice foam on her hands, pulled Su Qingluan aside and asked, "Qingluan, what's wrong with you today? You don't walk at all. Looks like you."
Su Qingluan took Liu Yunniang to a more remote place, and with the other party's expression of "Why are you so mysterious?", she told the other party about the sudden arrival of Yue Xin yesterday.
"So..." Su Qingluan was a little embarrassed, "I have the 'new product' this time."
Liu Yunniang was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed quietly and said, "This is a good thing. It means that you are also a big girl, so you can marry me!"
"I said Yun Niang, you are also a little girl, how come your tone of voice is exactly the same as my grandma's?" Su Qingluan couldn't help teasing.
"Damn girl, what do you mean?" Liu Yunniang tried to pinch Su Qingluan's waist, but Su Qingluan ducked away.
Liu Yuniang looked at her exaggerated movements and quickly pulled her back: "Hey, my aunt, you are not feeling well. How can you do that kind of backward movement? Don't get caught up to your waist!"
"Hey, it's okay, I'm just hiding for a little bit." Su Qingluan waved her hands indifferently, "I know you are worried about me, but it doesn't matter."
"You should just sit there and bask in the sun!" Liu Yunniang said, pulling a chair over and placing it in a position in the yard where the sun was good but would not hinder everyone's work. "If anything happens, just let me go." Let’s do it, you have a good rest these days!”
While they were talking, someone told Liu Yunniang to go over, so she turned around and went to work.
Su Qingluan sat down after listening to Liu Yunniang's words, but her body was sitting on the chair, but her mind was not idle. Instead, she was thinking about the new series of the new season-in addition, the "Four Seasons" that was first launched before "It is said that many people miss the series very much. Su Qingluan thought that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, so she can take this opportunity to return for a limited time.
While she was pondering whether the "Four Seasons Series" would return as a complete set or as a single style, whether it would return together with new products or plan a separate time period, Su Qingluan was suddenly attracted by the figures in two corners.
