Stall setting starts from Malatang

Chapter 95, Chapter 95, Prepare for the Food Festival
"Beishan Food Festival..."

After hearing the news, all the stall owners in the night market were inexplicably excited.Of course they know how terrifying the traffic at the food festival is, it is calculated on a daily basis and the price is clearly marked!Now the government lets them participate for free, what could be better than that?
At this moment, everyone is very grateful.

Stall owners are generally not well-educated, and they don’t know professional vocabulary such as conversion rate, exposure rate, and cost per action, but they have heard of stall fees that can cost thousands or even thousands of dollars in a food festival. .If they can't earn several times the profit of the booth fee, are these people spending money to participate in order to join in the fun?Thinking about it from another angle, this is equivalent to the township government giving each of them a big red envelope of more than 1000 yuan!
Thinking of such an on-campus event as the Fengyuan Food Festival, I have gained a lot. This kind of event that faces the whole town and even radiates the whole county, won't it be less than one or two hundred praises?Moreover, there are so many stalls competing for splendor at the food festival, and you can get dozens of [Gourmet] progress by just eating a few skewers, without having to go all the way to the town, why not do it?

Lin Xiaojian's body is still in the present time and space, and his mind has already traveled to the day of May Day. His eyes seem to see the crowds of people jostling shoulder to shoulder that day. There is a huge crowd of people. There is a long queue in front of his Mala Tang stall, and it is hard to find a bowl.

"Please prepare more food!"

The Beishan Food Festival lasted for three consecutive days, and the intensity was much greater than that of the Fengyuan Food Festival.The Fengyuan Food Festival only lasted for one day, which made him exhausted, and he was not energetic for the next two days.If we continue to do this this time, not to mention affecting business in the next two days, people will probably be ruined.

An ordinary mala tang restaurant can sell 50 bowls a day, and the business is considered to be over. If it sells 100 bowls, it can be called a strong player in the whole street.A store requires at least two people, and sometimes a part-time auntie is required to help deliver dishes during peak hours and wash dishes in spare time.And Lin Xiaojian has done so many achievements by himself, thanks to his higher physical strength and intelligence than ordinary people, and the system props to save worry and effort, ordinary people would definitely not be able to handle it.

Ever since the country advocated the night economy and called on all people to set up stalls, many people have devoted themselves to this business, thinking that they can make a daily income of more than a thousand by buying some small jewelry in the Yiwu market, selling cold drinks and barbecues.In fact, although the threshold for setting up a stall is low, and it is close to zero cost to start a business, risks and opportunities always coexist. The lower the threshold and the lower the risk, the greater the competition, and it is not easy to make a lot of money.

The Beishan Night Market is just a rudimentary form of a spontaneously formed night market. When the county-level night market really has traffic, there will be hundreds of stalls across the board, and competition in the same industry will definitely be indispensable.Others see that your Xiaolin Malatang business is good, so tomorrow they will come to Xiaomu Malatang, Dalin Malatang, even if the taste is not as good as yours, they will get some popularity from you.

There are stalls that can earn thousands a day, or even millions a year, but they are no longer considered "roadside stalls" or "stalls" in the strict sense.For example, the stalls in some scenic spots are fully capable of being moved to storefronts for operation. The stalls are only their characteristics, making customers feel close, not a necessary condition.Like these stalls in Beishan Night Market, if one day the policy fluctuates and they are not allowed to set up stalls, they will never move to the store. Go to a higher platform.

"At that time, I have to call Brother Chao to help me, and I don't know if Wuyi Factory will have a holiday..."

Although there is now a part-time waiter, considering that the traffic of the food festival is around the clock, there will probably be many people in the leisure time like two or three o'clock in the afternoon, so it is necessary to be fully prepared.

According to national regulations, holidays are of course a holiday, let alone Labor Day.However, according to past experience, New Oriental Plastics Factory may not necessarily have a holiday. From the perspective of the boss, double wages are better than machine shutdown.

Most workers don't care about this. They come out to work to make money, as long as the money is paid.Farming in my hometown is basically non-stop throughout the year, and stopping the hand means stopping the mouth. Even when the farming is slack, I have to go elsewhere to find some manual work.They can get money while lying on the bed, such a good day, they dare not even think about it.

That is to say, workers born in the 90s and 00s will care about holidays. They would rather not have overtime subsidies, but also enjoy the rare leisure time.Ye Chao, who is on the rise and competes with others for the position of team leader, even if he is on vacation, he must seize the opportunity to show himself in front of the leader and go to the factory for a few times. Unless the whole workshop is on vacation, it is difficult to count on him .

According to Lin Xiaojian’s experience of last year’s National Day, the workshop director will count everyone’s opinions about 10 days before the festival. If they are willing to work overtime, they will open a few machines to catch up with the goods and let them do it. Usually, about half of the workers will choose Work overtime to make money.

"If you prepare too many dishes at once...the freezer will be a problem, and you will need a whole large freezer."

"By the way, I helped Boss Zhang appraise second-hand equipment, and I bought one by myself. Is it considered self-sufficient? Why hasn't this guy booked yet? If I want to take the initiative and keep procrastinating, the extra rewards will be gone."

As for vegetables, it’s okay to leave them out for a day or two. To put it bluntly, even if you leave them out for four or five days, ordinary diners won’t be able to eat them at all.The main reason is that it is troublesome to string together the dishes. There are not many dishes in a string, but it takes a lot of time to calculate each dish from washing to cutting and skewering.

Lin Xiaojian planned to prepare the dishes for two days on the 30th one day in advance, and skewered all the meatballs and vegetables.But in this way, the disassembled vegetables and meatballs took up more space, and the newly bought small freezer probably couldn't fit it.

"There are also a lot of fixed costs for catering. Now that the business is a little better, we need to buy tables, chairs, kitchen utensils, equipment, and hire people. All the money we earn is invested in it."

"The casserole will also be a problem at that time. There will only be dozens of them. How can I have time to wash them? Now it takes half an hour longer to wash the casserole than to wash the dishes. Fortunately, I have a lot of soup, and the food is not easy to stick to the pot. Bottom, or you have to use a shovel!"

Thinking of all the things to be prepared for the food festival, his head suddenly became dizzy, and a rebellious thought of not wanting to participate flashed across him.

Throughout the night, the stall owners at the Beishan Night Market were discussing about the May Day Food Festival, and even many diners knew about such an event, and they all said they would come to visit at that time.There are usually no entertainment activities in the industrial area, and after get off work, I just go back to the dormitory to play with my mobile phone.But no matter how fun the mobile phone is, people always have social needs and like group activities. Hearing that there is such a large-scale offline event, even if you don’t plan to eat, you still have to hang around and join in the fun.
