Working in a Store, Love in a Different World (4)
"I heard that Haiyang Town is very big, with a length and width of 300 kilometers. They only started to have motorcycles and flying machines at 00:00. Would that affect the people who went to work?”Tang Junhui brought up the topic again.
"No. If the people who go to work are far away, for example, from the easternmost part of the city to the westernmost part of the city, you can take a motorcycle from your home to the transportation station to the nearest flight station. From the flight station, you can take a direct flight or a fast flight. The flight station in the east of the city to the flight station in the west of the city will take less than 15 minutes. Even if there are stops in the middle, depending on the number of stops, the fastest will not take more than 20 minutes, and the slowest will not take more than 30 minutes. In addition, it would take no more than 45 minutes to get from home to the nearest airport by train. Moreover, there were many flights during working hours. Most shops opened at 8:30 or 9: The restaurant opened at around 7:00, but the waiters were hired from nearby. So, it won't affect work." Zhu Fengqing was very patient.
"Is there anyone in the hotel who lives far away?”Tang Junhui asked.
"Yes. If it's far away, they'll rent a house nearby or provide accommodation in a hotel.”Zhu Fengqing said.
"Oh? Is it expensive to rent a house?" Tang Junhui wanted to know about the rental.
"Renting a shop is expensive. A shop on the third floor costs about 300,000 gold coins a year. However, renting a house in the residential area was not so expensive. Generally, a three-story residential house had 100 square meters per floor. There were usually five rooms on each floor. It was 30,000 gold coins a year and could be rented by several people. For instance, the basic salary of a waiter in a restaurant was 100 gold coins a day, plus the commission of drinks, specialty dishes and animal meat, the average salary was 200 gold coins a day. Some good restaurants could even earn 300 gold coins a day. Some waiters even did other jobs, earning about 200 gold coins a day on average. That meant 6000 gold coins a month and 70,000 gold coins a year. If a 3-storey residential building was rented by 3 people, the average salary would be 100 gold coins a day. Each floor had one person, and each person only spent 10,000 gold coins a year. In addition, the food was all from the restaurant, and there was no transportation fee. It was still very cost-effective. If there were more people sharing a room, there would be even fewer.”Zhu Fengqing told him everything he knew and calculated the accounts very carefully.
"I can understand the commission for the wine and the signature dishes, but why is there a commission for the meat?”Tang Junhui wasn't sure either.
"The meat we eat at the restaurant is all domesticated. The energy is not good, and the taste is average, so it's not expensive. It's a home-cooked dish. " Some restaurants sell beast meat through connections or through martial artists. Beast meat is very expensive. I haven't eaten it yet. However, most of it is livestock meat. The meat of livestock is still fine, but the meat of ordinary beasts is very expensive. A normal pound of ordinary beast meat is sold for more than 500 gold coins. This depends on the level of the ordinary beast, but I'm not sure about the level of the ordinary beast. Ordinary people couldn't afford it, so it depended on the receptionist's ability to attract customers and the waiter's recommendation. There were also some big restaurants that had wild beasts, which were even more expensive. Only the rich and martial artists went to eat.”Zhu Fengqing explained patiently.
"Then, where do you sell the wild beasts that martial artists get?”Tang Junhui wanted to confirm.
"I heard that there are specialized places to buy them, and there are also places to sell them to families and rich people. There are also some martial artists who sell it at a cheaper price." Zhu Fengqing said.
"You said that some of the workers are doing other things to earn money?”Tang Junhui found out what he wanted to know from Zhu Fengqing's words.
"Yeah, even if you recommend things from other stores to customers, you'll get a commission. It depends on whether you know how to do it. "For example, if we sell equipment in our shop, there will be waiters from restaurants or other shops who will come to talk to us. If they say that they will help us sell things, you can talk to them. Usually, we will add 10% to the lowest price. We will add 20% normally, and he will also add 20% to the price. You can earn 10%. If we calculate the commission, this is also a considerable income. It is good for us and for them. "There are also direct introductions. However, they will contact us in advance and say that a certain person is coming to buy the equipment. After the deal is made, we will tell him how much the commission should be given to him. Then, he will find time to come and get the money. Everyone had a tacit understanding of the base price and would not say it. If the business failed, everyone would not be able to make money. However, those who were not professional in selling equipment would not be able to make a deal. However, some people could make a few deals a month, depending on their eloquence and connections.”Zhu Fengqing explained.
"Then, what if we lie to him and fail to get the business?”Tang Junhui used the situation in his previous world to ask about this alternate world.
"How is this possible? Basically, everyone was very honest! Only those with no quality would be like this. If she lied to him once, twice, would there be a third time? Besides, you're not the only equipment store! Everyone was making money, so why should they mess it up?”Zhu Fengqing said in surprise. Tang Junhui thought to himself,"It's hard to say if they're honest or not, but it seems true that people from this world are good at making money."
"Then, how do we give the things to the guests?”Tang Junhui asked.
"We don't care. They can come and get it themselves, or they can find a way to get it themselves.”Zhu Fengqing said.
"Then, won't the restaurant owner say anything?”Tang Junhui asked.
"The restaurant owner doesn't care about this. As long as it doesn't affect the normal work of the restaurant, it's fine. Moreover, they would introduce each other to do business.”Zhu Fengqing said.
"You know a lot of things. After listening to you, I know a lot of things.”Tang Junhui sighed.
"In the past, I worked in a restaurant and saw and heard a lot of things. However, I've never helped sell equipment.”Zhu Fengqing said.
"I heard you say in the shop that you're not from Haiyang Town?”Zhu Fengqing asked when he saw that Tang Junhui was silent.
"Yes, I was originally from Guangling prefecture. I was an orphan and was adopted by my adoptive parents since I was young. When my adoptive parents came to Haiyang Town, I didn't come at that time. I only came to Haiyang Town recently and found out that my adoptive parents had passed away long ago, leaving behind a daughter.”Tang Junhui said as he had done before.
"I'm sorry to have caused you so much grief.”Zhu Fengqing felt embarrassed.
"It's okay. It's all in the past." Tang Junhui waved his hand and thought about the Tu family's encounter. He was filled with hatred.
"I heard that Guangling prefecture is very far away.”Zhu Fengqing said as he flipped through his memories.
"Oh, you've been to the Imperial City?" Tang Junhui was just about to learn more about this alternate world, so he started the conversation.
"I went there with my family when I was young. I don't really remember. At that time, we will take the flying transport to Guangling prefecture, then take the flying transport from Guangling prefecture to Jinling Prefecture, and then take the teleportation array from Jinling Prefecture to the Imperial City.”Zhu Fengqing recalled.
"Isn't that teleportation array very expensive?”Tang Junhui asked.
"Yeah, it's said that it doesn't cost money. It seems to be some kind of spirit stone or something. I'm not sure about this. At that time, my family also followed someone else. I think it was a distant ancestor of my family.”Zhu Fengqing recalled.
"Then, can this teleportation array reach anywhere?”Tang Junhui asked.
"No, it seems that we need to transfer. Like last time, we couldn't go directly from the town under Guangling prefecture to the Imperial City. We had to go through Guangling prefecture to Jinling Prefecture and then to the Imperial City.”Zhu Fengqing said.
"What is the reason?" This was a little different from the electronic novels of the previous world. In the novels of the previous world, teleportation arrays were set up as long as it was a town. As long as it was a town, it could directly reach each other. Tang Junhui asked in confusion.
"When we were on the road, I heard others ask about it. " This Teleportation Formation radiates downwards. For example, in our Imperial Capital, there are only Teleportation Formations that go to the capital cities of various empires. The capital cities can only go to the prefecture cities. Then, there are the central towns of the provinces and counties. There are no more Teleportation Formations that go to the towns below. Therefore, there are only teleportation formations that go level by level. Although our city has a teleportation array, it is not easy to directly teleport between cities. It is also not easy to teleport between county cities, state cities, and prefecture cities. He heard that there were some special circumstances, but he wasn't sure.”Zhu Fengqing recalled.
"Is the teleportation array fast?" Tang Junhui had only read about it in novels from his previous world. It was said that the teleportation array was very fast, but he didn't know how fast it was. There was a teleportation array almost in front of him, so he had to ask it quickly.
"Fast, too fast. Thousands, tens of thousands of kilometers, we're here in the blink of an eye. I remember that when I entered the teleportation array, I felt a little dizzy.”Zhu Fengqing was still surprised.
