Chapter 14: That’s a lot of money.

“I figured it out, I figured it out!”

Ai Cao excitedly showed Su Yujin the abacus, "Today we sold a total of two taels and three qian of silver. After deducting the costs, I calculated that we made a full one tael and seven qian of silver!"

One tael and seven cents.

One tael and seven cents!

This is only the first day of opening, and because of the 10% discount, maybe we can make two taels of silver a day in the future.

Two taels a day, then twenty taels for ten days, and if it's a month...

Oh my god, that’s sixty taels a month! That’s a lot of money…

The more Ai Cao calculated, the more excited he became, with a pair of bright lights in his eyes.

"The girl has a great vision. She knows how to move the business into the shop. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to make so much money even if she wanted to." Mother Liu said with a smile.

"That's right, our girl is extremely powerful!" Ai Cao echoed.

She is good-looking, can play the pipa, sing, dance, is a good cook and can read. Now she has one more skill - she can do business.

It's simply perfect! Although the praise from Ai Cao and Liu's mother was a bit exaggerated, Su Yujin was very happy with it. She smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes curved, and even dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Su Yujin's appearance was originally pretty, gentle and virtuous. With her faint smile, she looked even more gentle, dignified and lovable.

My own girl, she smiles so beautifully.

Ai Cao looked at it in a daze and laughed.

"Hurry up and finish your work so we can go back and prepare dinner." Mother Liu reminded Ai Cao when she saw him in a daze.

"Okay." Ai Cao agreed and helped to clean up and wash.

The restaurant was a great success on the first day of opening. Su Yujin asked Liu Mama and others to prepare dinner and specially prepared some extra meat.

In the evening, Mother Liu stewed braised pork, served a cold dish of bamboo shoots, roasted sweet and sour eggplant, and fried some vegetable meatballs, all of which were eaten with sauce.

Afraid that Su Yujin might find the braised pork too greasy, she made a special dish of stir-fried lean pork with green peppers for her.

The staple food is scallion pancake, plus millet and rice porridge.

Ever since Su Yujin showed off her cooking skills, Mother Liu has paid extra attention to the taste of the food. She always asks for advice before cooking, and after meals she often asks Su Yujin about her shortcomings so that she can improve them.

Over the past month, Mother Liu's cooking skills have improved, and the meals she prepares have now reached a standard that Su Yujin considers edible.

In addition, Su Yujin had been busy since morning today, and had only eaten half a bowl of cold noodles to fill his stomach at noon. He was very hungry at this time, so he ate one more piece of bread than usual, and even ate one third of the green pepper and pork slices.

Being able to eat so much means that her cooking skills have improved a lot now! Mother Liu thought so, and her face was more happy when she cleaned up the dishes.

Su Ji's business has been booming ever since it opened.

Even though the three-day 10% discount period has passed, there are still a constant stream of customers every day.

Looking at the number of customers every day and the mediocre daily turnover, Su Yujin frowned and thought for several days, and finally decided to add a few new foods.

Braised eggs, braised tofu slices, braised lion head, and braised pork belly.

The marinade is made of bay leaves, tangerine peel, ginger, pepper, soy sauce and other seasonings. Boiled and peeled eggs, fried tofu slices, lion's head made of pork stuffing with chopped green onion, ginger, soy sauce, pepper, flour, and pork belly slices that have been removed of fishy smell and cut into even thickness are put into the marinade in turn and simmered slowly.

The braised eggs are salty and delicious, with a strong egg flavor.

The tofu slices are fried until cooked through and have absorbed enough of the broth. They taste crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of braised flavor.

The lion's head is soft, smooth, fragrant and mellow when you bite it, with an excellent aftertaste.

And this piece of meat...

Alternating between fat and lean meat, such a large piece, spread flat in the bowl, and with a glossy red color, gives people enough visual impact. Taking a bite, the fat is plump but not greasy, and the lean meat is not dry. In addition, the meat is tied with cattail when blanching to remove the blood. It can be said that the taste is long-lasting and fragrant in every mouth.

These four kinds of food are all braised in advance when preparing the ingredients, placed in small casseroles and soaked in the braising soup. When people buy them, they just use bamboo tongs to put them into the bowl, which makes them very convenient to sell.

The prices of these four braised dishes are two cents, one cent, five cents and eight cents respectively, with different prices to meet the consumption needs of different levels.

Due to its good taste and reasonable price, this braised food has been selling very well since it was launched.

The most suitable staple food to pair with this braised food is mixed bean sauce noodles. Since the braised food began to be sold, mixed bean sauce noodles quickly surpassed red oil cold skin and became the signature food of the shop.

It is also because of these braised foods that Su Ji's shop's daily net profit has risen to two taels and five cents of silver while maintaining a stable customer flow.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Seeing that the amount of silver that could be put into the dressing box increased day by day, Su Yujin couldn't help but feel complacent.

On the importance of increasing average customer spending in the catering industry.

Su's shop was doing good business, and Su Yujin was not stingy. She was thinking of the hard work of Ai Cao and others, and felt that Shuang Ye and Qing Kui were also dedicated and hardworking. Not only did she increase their monthly salary by 20%, she also bought two new sets of clothes for each of them.

"Thank you, Miss!"

Ai Cao and Mama Liu had followed Su Yujin for a long time and knew that she was quite kind and generous to her servants. Although they were very grateful, they were used to it and were not very surprised.

Shuangye and Qingkui were seeing this for the first time, and they kowtowed to Su Yujin several times in gratitude.

When she was at home, she didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and she couldn't make ends meet, so she was sold to a pawnbroker. She originally thought that she would be sold as a slave, and she would have to live in fear and without control in the future. She might be beaten and scolded, and her life would be like jumping into a fire pit.

As a result, the work I do now is not as hard as when I was at home, and the food I eat every day is as good as New Year's Day. I am even given a monthly salary of 200 coins, and now I am even given new clothes.

This is not jumping into a fire pit, it's like jumping into a honey pot.

Thinking this way, the two of them kowtowed twice more at the same time. If Su Yujin had not asked Ai Cao and Mother Liu to help them up, they would have kowtowed a few more times.

Feng was also very grateful.

She was hired, and originally thought that her treatment would be different from that of Ai Cao and the others who had sold their indentures. However, Su Yujin did not leave her out in return for the reward this time. She was also given a raise and two sets of clothes.

Having an employer like this is truly a blessing from the previous life.

Everyone was grateful and worked more diligently, fearing that if they did less they would be letting down Su Yujin's generosity.

So, this is what happened in Su Ji recently...
