Pure Natural Pumpkin Juice 15 Years Old Suzhou Learn from a master

Chen Qingsong's hometown is Anqing, Anhui Province, and he came out from his hometown at the age of 15 to earn his own living. Looking back, he said that today's success is entirely due to the family's poor forced out. "At that time, my family was poor, and in order to have a better life, my parents hoped that I could learn a hard skill and go out to do business to earn money."

After the New Year that winter, Chen left his hometown with 100 yuan from his family's pig sale in his hand. He spent 24 yuan on the train to Suzhou, decided to go there to learn from the master, "but got off the train but do not know where to go, the weather is particularly cold, fortunately, the station waiting room has a heater, so during the day, I went out to look around, looking for work. At night, I sneak back into the waiting room to hide in the corner, but also to be on guard against the management of the bombardment. Fortunately, to the fourth day, there is a young man speaking native language to the waiting room to sell steamed buns, I immediately like to see the savior, go up and talk to him, told him his situation, begged him to help. The young man promised me to go back with him, meet their boss, and maybe find me some work." Chen Qingsong said his fate changed forever.

The boss is a steamed bread store, see him a small child is very poor, coupled with the resourceful Chen Qingsong even flip to make the "bitter meat trick", the boss finally took him in. "In my repeated pleas, the boss finally decided to take me in, but there is no wage, only food and shelter. Every day I worked very hard, sometimes brushing shoes and washing clothes for the boss's children. The boss was so impressed by me that he talked to me in the second month and said he could take me as an apprentice! I was so happy that I didn't sleep all night." More than a year of hard learning

The first battle of entrepreneurship but ended in failure

So Chen Qingsong in the steamed bread store as an apprentice. He had to get up at 3:00 a.m. every day, and could only get off work at 8:00 p.m. But he wasn't afraid of hard work and tiredness, so he moved the noodle bag and wiped the cage drawer every day, and followed the master to learn from the noodle and knead the noodle. Through observation and practice, Chen gradually understood that the amount of alkali to do pasta and the length of time to wake up is the key, alkali with less buns black, sour taste; but with more buns and yellow, there is a bitter taste. So he carefully observed the master's production methods, summarize the experience, secretly try to do it yourself, the basic skills are getting better and better, and he also found that the outer skin of the buns if you can be thinner, the inner filling juice will be better, this proposal has been greatly appreciated by the master.

One day more than a year later, the master called Chen Qingsong to the room, gave him three hundred dollars, "the learning craft you have long been learning the edge of the more than I have nothing here to earn money, you can set up your own business."

In this way, Chen Qingsong began his entrepreneurial path. He recalls, "In the next period of time, I almost ran through the streets of Suzhou looking for a store. In order to save money, I never took a car, to each place is to rely on walking, the blisters on the soles of the feet up and broken, broken and up again, at night in the hometown of the residence of the nest one night. Every day early morning and late at night, finally I found a 4 square meters of store, but the disk store, equipped with simple equipment costs at least 500 yuan, at that time, I only have more than 300 yuan on me, how to do? I can only to the old folks working in Suzhou at the time borrowed together 200 yuan, my first store so opened."

"It was really hard at that time, every day at 2 o'clock in the morning to get up and get ready, no one to help, a person has to do everything." At that time there was no money to buy good equipment, more than 40 pounds of flour to be used every day all rely on Chen Qingsong by hand and into a small dough, due to the lack of time, he had to sacrifice his sleep, the night to get the preparatory work done, sometimes busy until nine or ten o'clock, really sleepy on the sidelines to lie down for a while, woke up and then do it again. Every day the back, shoulders and legs are sore and unbearable, but he froze with the tenacity of the unconquerable, not afraid of hard work.

Chen Qingsong opened this store location in a residential area, with Chen Qingsong's good craftsmanship, the store opened in two days on the straight-line rise in business, where the surrounding households are very much like the small Chen do "juicy steamed buns". After the opening of the second week sold 200 yuan a day, the third week sold 250 yuan a day, business is better every day.

In the four-square-foot store, Chen spends his days and nights there, which is tough, but he still works hard. "Because that was my first base, I was so impressed there, and even though the floor was wet and the roof sometimes leaked, I still felt very cozy and happy."

However, the good times didn't last long, because Chen Qingsong has little experience and no understanding of the policy, no one can ask for advice, open the store what procedures are not done, the business license, health permit is still very strange to him, the result was investigated by the relevant departments, steamed bread store opened half a year was forced to close. "This is really a nightmare! Paid so much hard work, the first time to open a store failed miserably, I was very sad, sad to cry, feel very hard!" Since then, Chen Qingsong's life is back to the old, "boss dream" has not yet begun to break. The second venture out of the predicament

But he will be the success of the hand over

But the first failure is not nothing, to Chen Qingsong accumulated a wealth of experience, but also got the recognition and support of the family. Soon Chen Qingsong began preparations for the second store, the family mobilized all the friends and relatives to give him 10,000 yuan, uncle also personally brought the money to Suzhou, which makes Chen Qingsong very touched, but also feel the pressure on the shoulders, "At that time, I vowed that I must make achievements to return my family, my hometown!"

For the second store, Chen Qingsong work especially careful, the previous lesson in mind, the implementation of all the necessary steps, 20 square meters of the new store finally opened.

"At that time, I opened the store around a steamed bun fever, that is, three or five steps in succession, within five or six steps, there are steamed buns store." Chen Qingsong through observation and analysis of their business and production deficiencies, and then according to the past few years of experience and added their own ideas, a thin skin, filling, soup, "soup dumplings" presented in front of consumers. For a while, business was unexpectedly hot, the store even queued up to buy "soup dumplings".

The business of the store is getting better day by day, and Chen Qingsong's life is getting better and better, but he was not satisfied with the success at that time, he wanted to go to other cities to break through. But really give up the store and feel too bad, he brought out one of the poorest relatives in his hometown, let him to run the store, and his own craft and insights without concealment to teach him. Hard to fight a number of cities

End with the Shaoxing bond to create a miracle

After that, Chen Qingsong exhibition to Shanghai, Jiading, Zhangjiagang and many other cities, every place he opened store, while absorbing the local steamed bread industry's good craftsmanship, in order to accumulate more experience, and a lot of "steamed bread masters" to cut, not only the old line of steamed bread more and more to do, but also the best. The old line of steamed buns better and better, "soup dumplings" more and more refined, but also in the inheritance of the traditional craft based on the new concept of green, health care food according to modern people, boldly innovate, repeated practice, and finally formed its own unique production process and flavor characteristics, to solve the traditional soup dumplings greasy texture, lack of elasticity of the crust, soft and chewy defects.

His unique production process and flavor characteristics have finally been developed.

His store every open to a place to attract a "soup dumpling wind", more and more red hot, "that time, I was particularly excited, sometimes, a day can sell four or five hundred, five or six hundred yuan of steamed bread." Chen Qingsong said that this time he thought of his relatives and friends back home. "First, my brother, sister, brother-in-law, great aunt, second aunt ...... then almost all the young people in the whole village were brought out by me."

After that a chance encounter, Chen Qingsong came to Shaoxing, and with the reverence he had for Lu Xun as a child, he had a special affection for the city. "And I think the people of Shaoxing are very enthusiastic and have no prejudice against outsiders, which makes me feel very warm and down-to-earth, and there is a special kind of bond, and I think this will be my second home." Passing on his craft selflessly to others

He said it is a blessing to help people

So Chen Qingsong opened the first "China Soup Bun King" on Shaoxing's East Street by the vegetable market in 2002, creating a miracle of Shaoxing people lining up to buy foreign buns. In the next five years, he led his hometown folks in Shaoxing opened more than 50 consecutive cooperative stores, business is very good.

Chen Qingsong's business is getting more and more prosperous, not only his hometown's got his help, even a lot of customers who do not know, he has no regard for the craft unselfishly taught them. Some laid-off people to buy steamed buns, asked him in passing how to make such delicious steamed buns, also want to learn a hand, Chen Qingsong are not hidden one by one point. Some people advise him, so hard to figure out the secret should be kept secret, or paid transfer, be careful to be learned for nothing to snatch the business. But Chen Qingsong said: "We are not easy, people trust our craft to ask. If someone learns and wants to open a store, we have to take the initiative to help it."

When the "King of Soup Buns" was crowned with the name "Lao Tai Men"

The "Unity and Wealth" of soup buns was thus staged

Chen Qingsong's

Chen Qingsong's "soup dumpling king" has become a household name, but the family-type operation in the face of the huge market and the many cooperative stores have encountered management bottlenecks, there is no unified trademark, there is no uniform hygiene standards, and between the various partners are not united in the scattered soldiers, seriously hampering the development of the soup dumpling.

"Old Taiwan Gate" Food Co., Ltd. has been successfully established, "Old Taiwan Gate soup dumplings" of the cooperative stores from Shaoxing to Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Wenzhou, Lishui and other neighboring areas, the soup dumpling store profits are also very substantial, as long as the heart of the business, the monthly income of 10,000 is not too big a problem. Monthly income of 10,000 is not a big problem. And with the expansion of the market, "old Taiwan door" also developed a lot of new varieties, such as crystal shumai, corn juice, pumpkin juice and other specialty products, more in line with the pursuit of modern people on the diet of healthy, green, "soup dumplings" cause to a higher level.
