Dressed Like a Pretty Daughter-in-law From the 1970s Chapter 152

Chapter 152 A far cry from each other

An Zhixia's question drew the attention of the entire supply and marketing cooperative. They seemed to have heard a good joke and couldn't help but laugh. There was also a hint of ridicule and helplessness in the smile.

 “Xiao An, let me ask you why you are taking inventory?”

"In order to count and check the inventory, replenish the missing items and sell out the items that are about to expire. Well, we can also grasp customer needs and adjust the purchase ratio in time," An Zhixia thought for a while and replied.

Everyone was stunned. The words he wanted to teach the younger generation were stuck in his throat. Is it necessary to be so serious? Moreover, isn't inventory just replenishment? They sell so much stuff every day, they almost don't need to write it down, they can know it by heart, and just make up for it every ten days and a half.

　　Why did they become novices when it came out of her mouth?

"Ah, yes, that's the case. It's just Xiao An. We just sell some daily necessities every day and can complete the accounts in two or three minutes. There is no need to make a grand New Year inventory."

"Sister, how is our salary calculated? Is it related to the quantity and value of the products sold?" An Zhixia asked, changing the topic.

"It's a basic salary based on the level of work. The additional salary includes a living allowance of two yuan, and for every item sold, you can get 1% of the profit. The latter item is almost negligible. , We haven't gotten it anyway,” a **** man put down the newspaper and told her.

“What about the expired products that our supply and marketing cooperative cannot sell? Isn't it a waste of national resources to keep them in stock?” An Zhixia continued to ask.

"This was the case at the beginning, but then we kept some daily necessities here that sold a lot, and other distribution indicators were taken away by the Zhenghao Supply and Marketing Cooperative on the main street. It can be said that except for the samples placed on the counter, our warehouse There are only a few items that are commonly sold,” one of the most vocal warehouse managers replied patiently.

Yesterday when they got off work, the director greeted each of them, saying that An Zhixia had a special status and asked everyone to cooperate with her. Maybe their opportunity lies with this little girl.

An Zhixia's consciousness simply jotted it down in the supermarket. Generally speaking, the supply and marketing cooperative has a low sales volume and serious hoarding of goods. In order to avoid waste, it almost no longer stocks goods. There are only single and old styles on the counter. If a customer needs a product, they have to go to Zhenghao Supply and Marketing Cooperative to transfer the product. In this case, it is better for the customer to go and buy it themselves.

 As a result, the supply and marketing cooperatives fell into a terrible vicious circle.

“Then the price of what we sell is fixed? Can it fluctuate up or down?”

“It's definitely not possible. The prices sold by supply and marketing cooperatives throughout Kyoto are the same. It's just that the supply and marketing cooperatives can get high-quality products first, and we have to wait for others to pick out the rest before we can purchase them.”

“So you can't contact the source of the goods yourself?” An Zhixia simply took out a pen and notebook and recorded it seriously.

Looking at her serious and upright attitude, everyone couldn't help but straighten their backs and answer the question several times in their minds before speaking out.

"Probably not. If I can contact you, wouldn't it be a mess? I seem to have heard that you can take the lead with the headquarters, and then the supply and marketing cooperative that takes the lead will have priority in purchasing goods." A senior saleswoman said.

"Yes, I have also heard that supply and marketing cooperatives with strong sales even arrange business trips to find jobs for partners. They are called foreign procurement specialists, commonly known as 'land-opening cattle'! There is enough fuel and water, and train tickets, accommodation, and meals are all provided. The reimbursement will be continued, the living allowance will be doubled, and there will be a lot of overtime pay. If the initiative is successful, they can continue to receive the profit share for half a year." Speaking of this, everyone was a little excited.

"Of course, this job is lucrative, but it's not easy to achieve results. Big manufacturers have already cooperated with us, or they only cooperate with the four major shopping malls, or small manufacturers don't have enough discounts. The transportation costs are huge if we are far away. Problem, there are many of them anyway..."

 An Zhixia recorded the key points of everyone's words in a notebook one by one. She originally wanted to live a mediocre life, as a cheerful little commoner and a renter with a generous pocket. But the job here is to be a Buddhist master in the Buddhist system. After only staying for half a day, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't sit still.

“Little girl, don't waste your time thinking, so you don't have to worry about becoming our director. This place is so bright and shiny.” The cashier girl started to pack her bag, gesturing with her head, and everyone laughed softly. "It's time to get off work. Let's take turns to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Zhiqiu came in with a smile and politely imitated the girls and called him brother and sister one by one. The big guy couldn't help but laugh and praised the An family brother and sister for being handsome, good-tempered and sensible.

 “Let's go to dinner with my brother,” An Zhiqiu said in a low voice after taking the girl's bag.

 The two of them left the supply and marketing cooperative, walked past the barber shop and arrived at the state-owned hotel. It was the right time to eat, and there were only three people inside, so we still ordered plain noodles or Erwa noodles steamed buns.

“Comrade Xiao An is here, come in and eat while it's hot,” the staff at the state-owned hotel were also very friendly to her and greeted her warmly.

 Working in a restaurant, having three meals a day is a default benefit. If the restaurant is well run, the distribution quota will be high, food will be supplied with priority, and the employees will naturally earn enough money.

An Zhixia thanked her with a crooked look, washed her hands and sat down next to her brother. On the table were multi-grain noodles, which were soaked in vermicelli, meat, beans and dried beans. Although she didn't do much work in the morning, her stomach was already growling in protest, and she felt that she could still hold another bowl of noodles.

Mixed-grain noodles are not as chewy as pure wheat noodles, but they taste good when mixed with soup. She finished them with great enthusiasm and found a poached egg at the bottom of the bowl.

"Eat, my brother paid for it out of his own pocket, and we both have it," An Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows with a smile, and told her about his morning's work, which was washing vegetables, chopping firewood, carrying water, cleaning, and then... Listen to everyone chatting.

Since he went to the countryside to participate in spring plowing, he has hardly been so leisurely. He feels very uncomfortable all over, as if a greedy flea is biting him. "Who can't do this kind of work? Even a ten-year-old child can do it very well. I still get a salary from the state, so I always feel like I'm taking advantage."

An Zhixia drank a bowl of noodle soup and felt much better all over. After wiping her mouth, she watched her brother clean up the dishes and come back after washing them.

“Brother, do you feel that the life of a cook is far from what you imagined?”

He nodded and said in a low voice: "There are very few ingredients here. You said this is a restaurant, right? You can't even get a pound of meat a day. The money you make every day may not be enough to pay our employees. I heard The chef said that if this continues, Momofuku may close down.”
