Chapter 124: Heat's Small Business
"Let me add one more dish for you, Mr. Wu. Do you want one more dish?" Since it's about making money, no matter how attentive you are, it's not excessive.
What's more, it's just a simple question.
Finally, I added stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots and fried oysters.
Shi Qingqing saw that everyone had almost finished eating, so she had to speed up the preparation of other dishes. When she went to the kitchen, she directly took out the stock from the small warehouse and put it in the pot.
Then they served a stack of kimchi chicken feet, which they had almost finished, before bringing out the other two dishes.
At the end of the dinner, Linda winked at Shi Qingqing and deliberately took out a hundred-dollar bill as a tip.
Others saw the same thing.
Although Linda treated us, tipping is a part of our culture.
Shi Qingqing counted the money only after she sent them away.
There were more than a thousand, and Young Master Wu put down two hundred.
Oh, the ingredients for this meal won’t cost a thousand.
Some of them were what she usually stored in her small warehouse, and she said she caught them specially this morning.
I guess it was this “thought” that earned me so many tips.
Shi Qingqing's good mood did not diminish when she saw a table full of leftovers.
It's dirty and tiring work, I did it when I was a child, so I won't become pretentious just because I have a little money.
Put on gloves, first pick up the ones with thorns and shells, and then mix in the leftovers.
Zhao Fengnian was originally watching the fire and helping to serve the dishes. He came in and saw that some of the smoked goose was still left uneaten, so he asked if they wanted to save it for dinner.
"No, we would rather eat cabbage than eat what's removed from the table." Shi Qingqing said this only to realize that this was what she was taught in her dream.
"Because there is a kind of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, which can cause gastrointestinal diseases if the concentration exceeds the standard. In severe cases, it can develop into gastric cancer..." No one knew who had said this in front of her.
But I did make note of this incident.
Zhao Fengnian sighed. In the past, children would go around and eat the leftovers of the adults at banquets.
Shi Qingqing said that if she didn't know it before, it didn't matter, but now that she knows it, she should pay attention to it.
For some things, you should never be afraid of a thousand things, but be prepared for the worst.
Zhao Fengnian thought it made sense, so he didn't feel bad about having more than half of the smoked goose left.
Anyway, it’s not the time when the family can’t afford to eat.
It's an easy problem to solve by picking up a small bucket of pig slop. If you give it to someone who raises pigs, they will feel sorry for wasting such a complete dish on the table.
When the bucket was brought back, it was clean.
Shi Qingqing thought to herself, I noticed this when I was chatting with Guo Yumei, this girl really knows everyone in this area well.
You have to know that she has lived for twenty years and she doesn't even know the last name of the person living across the alley.
"From now on, the sewage will be sent to her home regularly." Shi Qingqing thought to herself.
The money earned from entertaining guests for a week was enough for the two of them to live on for a month, but Shi Qingqing still found ways to go fishing, causing many people to "know" that Shi Qingqing was addicted to fishing.
When his cousin was able to successfully sell smoked goose, Zhao Fengnian went to run the business.
Later they discussed the revenue sharing and pricing among themselves.
Shi Qingqing did not interfere in this matter. When there were no guests, she did not need to go to her cousin's house to ask for smoked goose.
By the end of July, both families were living well. Xiang'er even bought some new clothes. It was obvious that her cousin's cooking skills had won over the customers, and Zhao Fengnian, the salesman, had also done a good job in expanding the sales channels.
That day he came to Shi Qingqing with a smile on his face for protection.
He is the one using the tricycle at home and is refueling it.
But in the past twenty days or so, he has earned nearly 600 yuan from the commission of smoked goose.
Shi Qingqing blinked and said, "Oh, that's not bad."
I thought this would be Zhao Fengnian's future income, but starting from August 2nd, Shi Qingqing suddenly received six more orders.
She quickly communicated the details with them over the phone and made an appointment for them within half a month according to their schedule.
It turned out that the business cards I had sent out before came in handy at this time, as a business team happened to be coming over.
Among the six orders, there is an elderly couple who brought their young children here to spend the summer vacation, as if they were returning to their ancestral land.
The other five tables were arranged according to the amount of food for ten people. Only one table requested that there be no spicy food at all, while the others were very willing to try the spicy smoked goose recommended by Shi Qingqing.
In fact, smoked goose is not spicy, it just has a simple smoky flavor. However, goose meat is actually not as good as chicken and duck meat. The meat is relatively dry, so it needs a little flavor to make up for its shortcomings.
The spiciness makes it taste better.
The table of people who don't eat spicy food was at the front. The old couple and Shi Qingqing, who were with four teenagers, chose to arrange some fried food and snacks, and also put some effort into the fruit juice, and made some candied haws for the children to eat and play with.
During the preparation process, Shi Qingqing saw that sweet potato leaves were on sale. A foam box of sweet potato leaves, which was as high as her calf, was sold for one cent, so she bought some without hesitation.
This sweet potato leaf tastes very tender and juicy. Whether it is people who don’t eat spicy food or elderly couples with children, they all love this dish.
Some people even want to take some with them before returning to Hong Kong City, but this thing is not easy to get there and is not convenient to carry.
A sweet potato leaf became the first organic delicacy they mentioned when they returned home.
After serving the six tables of guests, Sister Chen also knew what Shi Qingqing was up to.
Originally, it should be said that the yard is not allowed to be open for business, but Shi Qingqing's yard is kept clean and tidy. She doesn't raise chickens, ducks or pigs. The sewage is cleaned up on the same day, and the environment and sanitation are better than Sister Chen's home.
There was no need for her to offend Shi Qingqing. She had seen the place for building the house. In two years, the house would belong to her. It would be easy to add to it or move in right away. The wall also gave her a sense of security. Most importantly, the land was put to good use, giving it a sense of vitality and liveliness.
Due to the multiple entanglements, Sister Chen didn't worry about Shi Qingqing's intention to receive customers for farm food. She just thought that she had more friends and was more hospitable.
It is very common for people with good connections to have several guests over for dinner every month.
Shi Qingqing had no appointments on hand, so she sat down to do some accounting. Wow, she made a net profit of three thousand five hundred in half a month.
I can't eat that much.
But the business group did spend money, and they served a lot of alcohol. She had a rich variety of drinks. Later, someone wanted to take a boat back that night, so he bought several smoked geese.
She charges twenty for each smoked goose sold here, just like her husband.
After adding all these up and deducting all expenses, the net profit was three thousand five hundred in cash.
Shi Qingqing installed a telephone at the beginning of the month, and also tinkered with a stainless steel stove like the one used for outdoor cooking at rural banquets, which looked quite professional.
Zhao Fengnian also handed in 500 yuan in the past half month, and a total of 4,000 yuan was directly deposited into his account.
The two of them now particularly enjoy watching the money in their accounts increase.
August’s good things didn’t stop there.
Sister Xu had just ordered a batch of eggs and ordinary rice, and Guo Yumei came to order rice, sugar, and alcohol and beverages.
Shi Qingqing had just received more than a thousand yuan, and in a blink of an eye, she shipped more than four thousand yuan.
Oh, there’s no way to deposit this money into my account. I’ll just store it in a small warehouse.
At the end of August, Shi Qingqing went back home with a half-sold smoked goose rack and some unopened snacks collected from the dining table.
The neighbors smelled the overbearing aroma of the smoked goose and ate the snacks and candies that Shi Qingqing distributed, and they thought she was very thoughtful.
Back to being filial again.
