Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

The stir-fry stall is still very popular today, but with the help of Yan Jiecheng, Chen Jun and his sister are now much more relaxed than before.

Yan Jiecheng is very happy now and seems particularly excited to set up his stall every day.

This is not only because of the salary of 30 yuan per month, but also because Chen Jun provides lunch!

When Yan Jiecheng ate the dishes cooked by Chen Jun for the first time, he was so excited.

This taste is really exciting.

Not to mention paying a salary every month, even if Chen Jun didn't pay a salary and just provided meals, Yan Jiecheng would still be willing to help.

It’s great that following Chen Jun not only allows me to make money, but also to eat delicious food.

The three of them worked until half past one.

After packing up his things and pushing them home, Chen Jun went out again.

He had to go to Xueru Silk Shop on Qianmen Street to get his clothes.

Without a bicycle, Chen Jun just walked there.

When we got to the store, we found that there were quite a few customers.

But when these young girls and young wives saw Chen Jun, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.

It is usually women who make clothes and buy cloth. Not many men go into such stores.

And he is so young and looks quite handsome.

The female clerks in the store recognized Chen Jun. They were deeply impressed by this young guy with extraordinary cooking skills, so they went to the back and called Chen Xueru.

"Hey, why are you here just now?" Chen Xueru said coquettishly, "Come with me to the house."

The original agreement was to pick up the clothes yesterday, but Chen Jun was delayed yesterday due to something.

But Chen Xueru waited for a whole afternoon, but Chen Jun didn't show up.

It's inevitable that I have a bad temper.

When the two of them entered Chen Xueru's office, they didn't rush to get clothes for Chen Jun, but instead pulled Chen Jun to sit down and drink tea.

Since there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Chen Jun was happy to chat with Chen Xueru.

This woman has a very quick mind and is a strong type of woman. It's quite interesting to chat with her.

Chen Xueru was also very curious about Chen Jun. Not only was he a great cook at such a young age, but his words and actions did not seem like those of a young man at all.

Every time she chats with him, she gets a different feeling.

Chen Xueru comes from a well-off family and has been in contact with many capable people since childhood, so she knows a lot.

But she felt that when chatting with Chen Jun, she was like a primary school student.

This guy knows so much. He can talk to you about astronomy, geography, ancient and modern times, China and the West.

He could even join in the conversation on topics like the operation of a silk shop.

The two of them drank tea and chatted, and before they knew it, it was already past five o'clock.

Chen Jun touched his full stomach and said to Chen Xueru with a smile, "Boss Chen, it's getting late."

"Oh, look at my memory!" Chen Xueru patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Wait for me, I'll go get the clothes now."

"When you get home, ask Auntie to try it on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, write it down and send it to the store to have it altered."

After saying that, Chen Xueru stood up and prepared to get her clothes.

Before leaving, he glanced at the notebook on the table, then stopped and asked casually, "Chen Jun, do you know an accountant? I have a headache when I see these accounts. I want to find an accountant to do the statistics of the store part-time."

Chen Jun took a look, picked up the notebook on the table, opened it and took a look.

"Hey, did you write the accounts in this notebook?" Chen Jun asked curiously.

The handwriting in this notebook is in small characters written with a brush. The font is neat and elegant, and it should be written by a woman.

Nowadays, fountain pens have become popular and few people use calligraphy pens to take notes anymore.

Chen Xueru smiled and nodded somewhat proudly.

Writing calligraphy has always been Chen Xueru's habit and hobby, and her calligraphy has also been recognized by some elders.

It’s just that, although she is good at calligraphy, she doesn’t know much about accounting.

It was 1954, just a few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the nationwide literacy campaign had not yet begun.

So not many of them will count.

Chen Jun glanced at the contents of the account book, then smiled and said, "Your store has a single category, and the fabric and labor costs are easy to calculate. It's not difficult to count them."

“But there’s a problem here.”

Have questions? ?

Chen Xueru looked at Chen Jun in surprise.

You even know about account books???

Although Chen Xueru did not regard Chen Jun as an ordinary person, she did not expect that this person knew everything!

"Tell me, what's the problem with my account book?" Chen Xueru was no longer in a hurry to get the clothes. She pulled a chair and sat directly next to Chen Jun.

Chen Jun touched his belly and said patiently, "I'm just talking casually. You can take it as a reference. If you think it's useless, just listen for fun."

So Chen Jun picked up a pen on the table and drew a simple statistical table for Chen Xueru.

With such a statistical table, all accounts and dates become clear at a glance.

The more Chen Xueru read on, the more excited she became. She felt that if she mastered this statistical method, she wouldn't even need to hire an accountant.

"How did you come up with this?" Chen Xueru looked at Chen Jun deeply and felt that her cognition was refreshed again.

The statistical table that Chen Jun just taught her is much better than the arithmetic she had to learn by force.

Chen Jun smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about it. If you think it's useful, try it. If it's not, forget it."

"It's useful, and very useful!" Chen Xueru excitedly pulled Chen Jun's arm and asked again: "Take another look at my store, is there anything else that can be improved?"

Chen Jun thought about it and added some suggestions: "There are many tailor shops selling cloth on Qianmen Street. If you want to stand out, it is not enough to be high-end. You have to be unique and different. You have to make people's eyes light up."

"The fabrics in your store are all high-end. This is your advantage. You should learn to magnify your advantage. For example, you can remove all the old-fashioned counters and directly set up a stage in the store to display the high-quality fabrics in public so that the young wives and old sisters-in-law can see and touch them."

"Also, the styles. You can try a few teddy bear-style styles. I think they will appeal to a wide range of people."

We are currently in a sweet period with the T-Bear, and some T-Bear-style products can now be imported into the country.

For example, the famous Lao Mo Restaurant in the old city and the Mao Xiong Specialty Store.

Some people even speak a few words of Russian from time to time to show that they are extraordinary.

Chen Xueru had the idea of ​​launching new models a long time ago, and unexpectedly she and Chen Jun had the same idea.

"Hey, Chen Jun, why don't you just stop setting up a stall and open a shop with me. I'll give you some shares!"

Chen Jun smiled and didn't respond.

He had no intention of doing business with Chen Xueru.

However, Chen Xueru can take advantage of this time to make more money.

After all, the public-private partnership will be implemented next year, which leaves us more than half a year.

By that time, the trend of imitating the Russian bear had swept across the country. Chen Xueru took the lead, and when the public and private sectors were merged, the store's valuation could be increased.
