At ten a.m. on August 7th, a long queue was lined up in front of a bun shop on Yuhua road. A guy wearing a hat and a apron was skillfully stuffing a bun to the customer, and the other guy wrapped the bun in the kitchen. The steamed bun store, which is opened by four post-90s college students, can sell 4000 buns every day. They opened the first baozi store at the end of November last year. After 8 months, there were two branches and three franchisees, with a turnover of nearly 10000 yuan a day.
after graduating from University, they are unhappy with their work, and sell the idea of selling buns,
filling, rolling, wrapping, and stuffing. A series of processes are conducted in a methodical manner in the hands of several boys, proficient and fluent. In a moment, the steamers were filled with bun, and there was no rest at this time. The long teams outside the door made them continue to prepare for the next steamed bun, even if it could not help some customer complaints.
"wait half an hour, haven't bought buns!" An aunt took the lead in expressing his dissatisfaction but continued to wait at high temperatures. "The stuffed buns are delicious, often coming from baozi store to buy buns, but they need to queue for a long time." She told the reporter.
"in conscience, hope to use the most traditional technology and the most natural ingredients to restore the most original flavor of the bun" on the equipment of the bun shop. One of the shopkeepers, Gao Xiao Qian, said, "this is the purpose of their shop."
1993 born Gao and Gao the young Kun is the twin brother, they and his peers Li Chengnan, Hu Huiqian, last year graduated from a university in Shijiazhuang marketing major college students. During the last semester of the University, four of them practiced and looked for jobs on a regular basis. "Often need to travel business, running around, although wages are not too little, but a month down, there is little left." First of all, he wants to change the status quo. He wants to do something with his major.
in May last year, when he and his classmates were having a meal before graduation, they found that the sanitary condition of a baozi restaurant was worrying. "Selling buns is a relatively low-end industry in our minds, and is not very concerned about hygiene." Gao said that he wanted to sell baozi to change the present situation (www.cyonE.com.cn/). He told his classmates about the idea and asked if he would be willing to share with him the sale of baozi. Gao and Qian said that many students think that the sale of bun will not have a future, and it is hard and tired. They all refuse him. Only three people in the dormitory decide to sell bun with him.
a hundred times
before the start of the shop, four boys began to prepare for the sale of bun. They went to the streets and alleys. They looked at the location of the bun shops and the statistics of the people. At the same time, they also tasted the stuffed stuffed bun of the local people and tasted the taste of the local people. Set yourself a goal.
later, Gao Xiao Qian went to Tianjin to study with a chef who was a good cook. For a young man who hardly ever cooks, learning Baobao is not a simple matter. He is still practicing when everyone is resting at noon. He studied in the daytime. He called his friends at night to learn his skills, and his colleagues practised filling and wrapping at home.
"how much salt is put in the trap when it is first settled?" Li Chengnan said, in order to keep the size of the stuffing and the consistency of the filling, a small scale was bought, and the bag came to call each dough and stuffing. The dough was heavy and pulled one piece down. "During the period of practicing Baobao, I eat steamed stuffed bun almost every day. I often feel bad about it, and I feel embarrassed to give it away, so I have to throw it away." Li Chengnan said before they set up shop, they practiced hundreds of bags of baozi.
at the end of November last year, four people in a civilian market near Zhai Ying Street found a face house of 12 square meters. The four people made up about 10 thousand yuan, and placed the equipment with the plane, the face press, the operating table, the steamer and so on. The University bun shop opened.
8 months after the opening of the store, the daily business value reached nearly 10000 yuan
after the opening of the shop, four people get up more than 5 points a day, the first buy dishes, at home washing dishes, cut vegetables, and sink. Four people in the store also have a clear division of labor, a person pressed noodles, a person selling baozi, two people wrapped baozi. One day, after selling the steamed stuffed buns, they should clean up, wash the steamer for many times, and wait until 11 o'clock in the evening to sleep.
but at the beginning it did not imagine the smooth and various problems. "At first, it doesn't work well, and it doesn't work well when it's too crowded. It also can't control the amount of noodles and vegetable filling every day." Gao said that sometimes there would be a lot of steamed stuffed bun, so he had to throw it away. Sometimes he was selling a steamed stuffed bun and suddenly had no noodles or stuffing.
"cutting vegetables often cuts to the hands, and the hands are often scratched by the edges and corners of the equipment." Li Chengnan told reporters that every day is very tired, business is not very good, and sometimes will be depressed, but everyone encourages each other, "since it has started, can not stop halfway", so stick to it.
two months later, finally a change, the stuffed stuffing is getting better and better, more and more stuffing, slowly buying bun people line up every day, many units also start to order staff meals, and some family gatherings will call dozens of bun on the phone.
gradually the supply of buns was in short supply every day, and they began to think about opening branches. In May of this year, they opened second stores on the Yuhua road. From the opening up, customers queued up to buy buns. The third house was opened in June. During the period, they were asked to join them. There are three other franchisees. Today, each store sells 4000 buns per day, and three direct outlets have nearly $10 million daily income.
prepares to open another 50 baozi store
during the year. Since they opened their branches, they began to hire people to sell Baozi and sell baozi. But in order to ensure the quality, four young men do the work of buying vegetables, washing vegetables, adjusting the sink and washing the steamer. But stores often face shortages of manpower, and they will still help with baozi.
with the expansion of the baozi store, many people give some praise to several young men. "These children are kind, hard-working, and rely on their efforts to sell baozi to their own good." Zhang Da Jie, a Baobao in the shop, said she admired them very much.
however, a few parents are negative about their children selling buns. Li Chengnan told reporters that his family knew that after selling buns, he often advised them to find another job. "They feel that college students are not decent enough to sell buns, and they can't keep up with universities. Li Chengnan said, but he still insisted on his idea. As the business became better and better, his parents finally compromised. But Gao Xiao Qian is not so lucky, so far he is still in a stalemate with his family because of selling buns.
"parents once said that if I sold the steamed stuffed buns again, I would not have been home for half a year. Gao, Xiao Qian, said that although he understood his parents, he did not feel that selling bun was low. "Bun", like anything else, was the product. It was their goal to make the product well. He used his knowledge learned by his university to do all kinds of analysis, constantly improving the quality of products and gaining people's recognition. He also had to work harder to get the approval of his family. Gao has told reporters that they are busy registering the company, one of them to the south to learn new skills, hoping to add the taste of bun and give more choices to the public. "With the expansion of stores, we will learn to manage and improve ourselves." Gao, said Gao, is ready to open 50 branch stores by the end of the year. Before they have started to do public welfare, they often go to old homes and welfare homes to send love bun, and will do more public welfare undertakings on a regular basis.
