Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 520 The Business That Comes to Your Door
The venue of the film and television city is provided free of charge to the crew. From the perspective of early development, the income will be cut off a lot, but it will be very beneficial in the long run.

If there is no venue usage fee, then it is necessary to find a way from other places, so the food, housing and transportation of the early production crew have become the easiest place for the film and television city to make money.

Lin Yanan has already crossed out the aspect of travel in his mind, because the crew mainly shoots in the film and television city, and only occasionally they may use transportation when they go out on location. It was decided to open this part of the line to the public in the early stage, and it would be a big deal to accept it later when there was more demand.

Accommodation is the most urgent need of the crew at present, but the film and television city does not have its own hotel now, but has reached an agreement with the Donglai Hotel in the village. Whenever the crew stays, the film and television city will have a certain percentage of commission.

This is just a helpless move by the film and television city, which is a bit similar to the protection fee charged by the film and television city to the Donglai Hotel.After all, the production team came for the film and television city. If the money is not given, once the film and television city builds its own hotel in the future, the source of tourists will definitely not be diverted to the village.

When He Ping was planning the film and television city, he thought about the issue of accommodation. In the early stage, the film and television city must not build a hotel, which would easily hinder the development of the film and television city. It is the safest choice to build a hotel when the film and television city develops to a stable stage.

Now that Hantun has developed to the present stage, it needs facilities such as hotels, and the two sides complement each other.

As for food, it should be said that it is the least difficult to operate.Lin Yanan did it himself at the beginning, and the food and drink for the crew of "East Love" was provided by the film and television city.

Originally developed step by step, the catering department of the film and television city can be developed little by little, but today He Ping suddenly said that he will join four crews next month, and estimated that the film and television city must provide food for at least 600 people every day.

Lin Yanan thought about it in his mind, if blindly expanding the scale of the catering department, it will easily lead to a situation of inability to continue in the later stage, what if there are fewer production crews next year.

She had an idea in her heart, why not outsource the part that the film and television city cannot digest.

Lin Yanan stated his thoughts to He Ping, and He Ping nodded after listening.

"Just do as you say."

After the two finalized, He Ping left, and Lin Yanan had to handle the specific matters.

Another night when the business was over, Liu Hongmei and his wife dragged their exhausted bodies to close the store and went up to the second floor.

In order to save money and convenience, the two took the store as their home and separated a small bedroom on the north side of the second floor to avoid occupying too much business area.

Liu Hongmei boiled water for her husband Yu Xiangming. Even though it was dog days, her husband stayed in the kitchen all day and was already drenched in sweat. It was time to take a bath by boiling some hot water.

It's already ten o'clock in the evening after the couple both took a shower, and at four o'clock tomorrow morning, the two of them still have to get up to go to the market to buy and prepare vegetables, so they have very little sleep time.

Lying on the makeshift wooden bed, Yu Xiangming turned over with difficulty. Liu Hongmei said with concern: "Are you tired? Shall I press you?"

Husband Yu Xiangming said in a muffled voice: "No need, go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Seeing her husband's exhausted appearance, Liu Hongmei felt distressed, "Why don't we hire someone? Now that business is so good, there's no need to tire myself so much."

Yu Xiangming sighed, "Let's make up for it a little longer. It's not easy to reduce it when people are recruited. Let's talk about it after a while."

Liu Hongmei said: "If you can't reduce it, you can't reduce it. We can relax with more than one person. We can't earn money, and our bodies are exhausted."

"Hold on, I used to cook for hundreds of people in the factory."

"When you were cooking in the factory, how many people were there in the back kitchen? Now it's just the two of us in our restaurant. I still have to work in the front, so I'm tired of you alone."

"It's okay, I can hold on, let's talk about it later. There are still two months of winter. By then, the construction site and the production crew will definitely withdraw a lot of people. Our restaurant will be in the off-season. We have to see the situation at that time before deciding whether to hire people or not." .”

Liu Hongmei thought for a while, and her husband made sense. If she really hired someone and there was no business in winter, the money would be wasted.

The couple didn't talk anymore, but they fell asleep one or two minutes later.

Early the next morning, the couple were preparing dishes in the back kitchen when Lin Yanan came to find them.

"Sister Hongmei!"

"Yanan, why are you here so early today? Are you inviting someone to dinner?"

Hongmei Restaurant is the only restaurant run by two individuals here in Hantun. Lin Yanan often eats here, so the two are quite acquainted.

"No, I'm here to talk to you about something." Lin Yanan said.

Liu Hongmei put down the work in hand and brought a chair for Lin Yanan, "Sit down and talk."

Lin Yanan sat down, and said straight to the point: "Next month, our film and television city will accommodate four production crews for filming at the same time, and the number of people will be at least 500. So I came to ask you, do you want to pick up meals for these production crews in our film and television city?"

Liu Hongmei was a little dazed, and she asked with doubts: "You mean... Let us cook for the crew of your film and television city?"

"Correct!"

Liu Hongmei glanced at her husband, "Yanan, I don't quite understand, don't you guys cook? Besides, the crew all live in a hotel, and they have a restaurant there."

Lin Yanan half-truthfully said: "We do cook, but there are only two of us, and we have to manage the meals of the construction site and the production crew. How can we be busy? As for the hotel, let me tell you To be honest, the price they want is too high, I can't give them a job for nothing, so I came to see you today, sister Hongmei, can you do this business?"

Liu Hongmei exchanged glances with her husband after listening to her words, and quickly calculated in her mind that she was still talking to her husband about recruiting people last night. If she really accepts this deal, then she must recruit people, and definitely not just one person. .

"Yanan, what is the regulation of your business, can you tell me about it?" Liu Hongmei asked.

"It's nothing. You and your brother-in-law can draw up a menu, let the crew choose it, and then follow the menu. I will ask the crew to provide you with the number of meals each crew needs for each meal in advance. You will prepare the meals on time. , just send them there.”

It sounds simple, but it is very tiring in practice.And Lin Yanan also said that the reason why she came to find her was because the hotel's asking price was too high, so the price she gave herself would definitely not be too high.

Liu Hongmei couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she had to look at her husband Yu Xiangming who had been silent all the time.

Yu Xiangming is also weighing the pros and cons. Yesterday he was still worrying about the restaurant's business and hiring people after winter. Now such a big business is in front of the couple.
