Chapter 66: Even Dogs Like It, Let Alone Humans!
The large containers that Qin Lin had bought were all transparent jars with a capacity of 20 catties. After cleaning them, he stored all the pure wild honey in the game and sent it to the villa.
As soon as he arrived at the villa, he moved the honey into the storage room behind the bar. Gao Yaoyao brought six people over.
The number of tourists at the villa had been increasing recently, and there were also recruitment notices posted in the villa.
He did not expect six to come today.
Four girls in their 20s and two middle-aged women.
“Boss, they’re all here to apply for a job,” Gao Yaoyao said as she approached.
Qin Lin also looked at the six of them. It was obvious that the four girls had not been in society for long. They still carried the hesitation and caution of job seekers.
He got the six of them to follow him to the side and took their information from Gao Yaoyao.
The four girls were naturally applying for service positions in the scenic area, and the two middle-aged women were applying for the job of cleaning ladies.
Then, he routinely asked the four girls questions that some recruiters would ask. For example, if they had any relevant work experience, why they had quit their previous job, or even if the four girls were single…
These questions seemed to be nonsense and were criticized by many people online. However, after becoming a real boss, he felt that these boring questions were actually reasonable.
Actually, the questions were not the key. It was just that one could at least preliminarily see the character of the applicant in these simple questions.
For example, if he asked the four girls if they were single, would he really care if they were single?
He wanted to see how the girls reacted to the question. After all, this was the travel service industry. If they weren’t embarrassed by the question, weren’t ashamed, weren’t conflicted, and could answer with a calm smile, that meant their communication was good. They were definitely suitable for the service industry.
Or, for example, why had the applicant quit her last job?
Some people subconsciously complained that they couldn’t do this or that in their previous job, or complained about their colleagues. No boss would like such people.
However, his villa was in the scenic service industry, so he did not have to be so particular about it. The most important thing was to see if the four girls were lively enough or not.
These questions were more or less obvious.
After all, one could not keep a straight face in front of tourists, right?
The four girls had lively personalities. It should be good for them to adapt to their jobs, so they all stayed.
He asked the two middle-aged women who had applied for the cleaning job again. He felt that there were no problems and let them stay.
After that, Qin Lin also took out six labor contracts to sign with the six of them. The probation period was a month. Then, he instructed Gao Yaoyao, “Lead the two sisters to Sister Hong’s place and bring the four of them to get their work clothes. Before the tourists come, familiarize them with the environment.”
Sister Hong was the manager of the villa’s cleaning lady. It turned out that she was the cleaning lady of the Zhongliang Hotel in the county. She had resigned from the hotel because her daughter-in-law had given birth and was waiting on her.
“Alright!” Gao Yaoyao nodded and said to the six of them, “Follow me!”
After handing the newly recruited employee to Gao Yaoyao, Qin Lin also entered the bar and picked up the small jar of pure wild honey water from yesterday. Then, he took out a few empty glasses and started to put honey in them.
“Qin Lin, why are you making so much honey water?” Zhao Moqing walked in with Wang Cai.
Wang Cai seemed to smell honey. It swung its legs over the bar again and grinned at him.
Qin Lin pretended to fabricate, “The medicinal honey that I brought back yesterday is pretty good, right? Yesterday, I only tried to see if it tasted good. Coincidentally, I found another channel and can get a batch of medicinal honey every day. I want to start a medicinal honey water project in the villa. After all, our villa is also lacking in drinks. We only have canned coke and mineral water.”
“Now I’m trying to match the amount to see what the proportion of the least medicinal honey can be put in a glass of water without affecting the taste or texture.”
The Quality 2 wild honey produced by the game was good, but one could not expect a drop of honey to make a cup of water delicious. 100ml of water had to have a corresponding proportion.
As for how much, he would have to figure out the ratio.
Moreover, he would not sell the honey water of Quality 2 cheaply. After all, the effect was there.
“Qin Lin, I realize that you have the potential to be a profiteer!” Zhao Moqing teased. Then, she walked into the bar and said, “Let me help you.”
She took the spoon from Qin Lin’s hand and carefully put honey into the cup as if she was afraid of putting too much.
When Qin Lin saw this scene, he cursed in his heart. How could she call him a profiteer? This woman was even more unscrupulous than him.
However, this was how business was. As long as it did not affect the customer experience, they would definitely try their best to save as much as possible, especially when this thing was rare.
Before long, the two of them had found the optimal ratio. About 100ml water to 5g Quality 2 honey tasted best. It wasn’t too sweet or too bland. The key was equally delicious.
“100 ML5 grams!” Qin Lin took out his calculator and started calculating.
Quality 2 was about 90 catties a day, which was 45,000 grams. The large plastic cup commonly used for milk tea was 700 Ml, which was 35 grams. That large cup of milk tea could make 1,286 cups.
This didn’t seem to be enough. He was sure most people would buy it if they knew the effects of the honey water. Besides, many people would definitely drink a second cup after drinking it. They might even take one with them.
This was because in the past when he and Zhao Moqing traveled together with their classmates in university, it was mostly the same. When they encountered delicious food, they would eat a portion in the scenic area and come out to eat a portion. Some classmates even packed a few portions.
Zhao Moqing also asked, “Qin Lin, how much do you plan to sell this medicinal honey water for?”
Qin Lin smiled and said, “Those scenic spots dare to sell large cups of milk tea for 20 yuan a cup. My medicinal honey is a good thing. It’s not too much to sell it for 100 yuan a cup, right?”
This was definitely not too much. After all, the wild honey produced by his game also had the additional effects of relieving fatigue, constipation, and chronic gastritis.
Zhao Moqing clicked his tongue when he heard a cup of 100 yuan. “Tourists who don’t know will definitely be shocked by a cup of 100 yuan. Why don’t we add some coconut into the honey water? At least it will make people feel that there’s a lot.”
“Yes, that’s fine. We can add something cheaper and sell a few more cups.” Qin Lin nodded. Coconut fruits weren’t worth much, so they could be added. Tourists would think that he had a conscience.
With this, 1,286 cups could be converted to 1,500 cups. If one cup cost 100 yuan, that would be 150,000 yuan. After deducting costs and so on, that meant that a pound of honey could be sold for more than 1,600 yuan.
This had already exceeded the price of a lot of medicinal honey. It could be considered a luxury item.
Zhao Moqing was still a little worried. “It’s 100 yuan a cup. It’s scary just listening to it. Let’s do some more publicity and also mark out the effects of this medicinal honey. It’s best to hold a tasting session. Otherwise, with so many haters online, I’m afraid we’ll be scolded to death.”
“I’ll listen to you.” Qin Lin nodded. “It just so happens that the sales center can be activated. At the same time, we can also publicize the sales center. When the time comes, the medicinal honey water project will be placed in the sales center.”
If a 100-yuan drink was not publicized, ordinary tourists who did not know would indeed find it difficult to accept. It was definitely possible to be scolded.
Therefore, publicity was still needed. Let’s have a free trial drink!
“Woof, woof!” Wang Cai barked.
They turned and saw the dog leaning over the bar, staring at them as if to remind them that they had forgotten something.
“It’s been waiting to drink honey water!” Zhao Moqing said with a smile.
Qin Lin also picked up a cup of honey water and poured it for the dog.
The dog grinned, showing its happy tongue.
Zhao Moqing smiled when she saw this. She was even more confident in Qin Lin’s medicinal honey water project.
If the dog liked to drink it so much, what about humans?
