The opening of the two Jiujiu Lu restaurants in Shuzhou went smoothly overall, and Ye Guihua and Ye Erniu resolved some minor issues.
Ye Erniu's braised food also had a price reduction at the opening. Thanks to Gao Lin's performance and hardcore promotion, the braised food sold out quickly and the shop closed in less than an hour.
Ye Guihua's shop sold out in a little over an hour and a quarter of an hour. When she sold out, the little girl was so excited that she almost cried.
The first thing the two of them did after closing the door was to bring her a money bag.
Ye Erniu didn't count, but Ye Guihua counted and then gave her a number.
After deducting Cheng Tie's wages of 120 coins, the remaining wages for the four people were 240 coins. After deducting the total cost of vegetables and meat of 276 coins, the remaining amount was 7 taels and 30 coins.
Today's revenue is still from the price reduction. Once the customer base stabilizes and prices rebound, we can expect to earn even more.
Ye Panjiu opened the money bag and started counting the money while Ye Erniu was counting it.
Most of them were copper coins; a thousand of them made one string of cash, totaling one tael.
There were many copper coins, but Ye Panjiu counted them without showing any impatience.
She couldn't resist the joy of counting money.
After counting for a full quarter of an hour, it came to seven strings of cash, with six copper coins placed beside it.
This is the difference in the hands of those who serve braised food.
The more you serve, the less you earn; the less you serve, the more you earn.
She didn't care about the difference; the two shops would earn fourteen taels a day, and in two days she would almost earn back the price of a horse.
She took out 1,500 coins each, which was Guihua's and her second brother's wages for one day.
She still prefers to settle the money with her family every day after receiving it.
She earns eleven taels a day from these two shops.
Ye Guihua wasn't home at the moment. She was handing Cheng Tie a piece of paper with various questions written down, and emphasized, "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Lin is very depressed. This will make the guests who come to eat uncomfortable. We must not give the guests a bad mood. Please talk to him, Uncle Cheng. If it's not possible, we'll have to ask someone else to talk to him."
Uncle Lin was one of the people Cheng Tie recruited.
She kept in mind the issue of bad moods that Ye Panjiu had mentioned many times when she was setting up her stall, and she had also thought about this issue from her own perspective.
If you go to a restaurant full of excitement, but the waiter throws cups and bowls and acts all grumpy, you won't want to go back no matter how delicious the food is.
If you can't retain customers, the shop will struggle.
Cheng Tie paused, frowned, and examined the paper closely.
It's clearer to write it on paper, and it's also softer to say it like this.
He nodded, agreeing with everything he said. "What the young master said makes sense. I'll go talk to Lin Enren first; it'll definitely work out."
The Ye family is nice, approachable, easy to talk to, and doesn't cause much trouble. They also pay a good amount of money, making it a good place to make a living. He didn't want his benefactor to miss this opportunity.
Ye Erniu and Gao Lin sat in the shop, with three men and one woman holding wine glasses to celebrate.
"May the opening be a great success!" Ye Erniu said, his face flushed.
Gao Lin said sincerely, "Second Brother, this cup is for you! Without you, we brothers wouldn't even have enough to eat."
Ye Erniu quickly waved his hand, "Brother Gao, don't say that. If it weren't for you guys, my opening today wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Let's not talk about this anymore, drink up!"
The other four also shouted, "Thank you, boss and manager! May your wealth flow in!"
After downing a cup of cloudy wine, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
Ye Erniu raised his wine glass, which was empty. "I downed it all in one gulp."
Gao Lin slapped the table with his right hand, "Second Brother is so generous!"
Ye Erniu chuckled, "Alright, let's have a drink first. Once today's braised dishes are ready and tomorrow's opening preparations are complete, we'll have a good time at Jinxiu Pavilion tonight. It's on me!"
Following Gao Lin, everyone cheered.
Ye Erniu patted Gao Lin on the shoulder and then walked towards Sun's shop.
He still has a long way to go, and he doesn't know how his wife is doing.
Mrs. Sun tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep last night.
She was both worried and anxious. There was still a lot of work to be done at the shop, and she was worried about whether the shopkeeper who was left over would be up to the task.
I got up early again, ate a quick breakfast, and hurried to the shop.
When they arrived at the shop, they saw a big man working noisily.
Upon closer inspection, the missing blue bricks from last night had all been laid, neatly and orderly.
Even the spider webs that were hanging from the roof beams yesterday have all disappeared.
She gasped in surprise, her mouth agape, "Ah!"
Lai Ping was startled and immediately jumped up, looking at her with suspicion, and tentatively asked, "Master?"
Sun nodded firmly. "Are you Brother Lai Ping?"
Lai Ping relaxed and smiled warmly, "Yes, what is your name, boss? I heard about this from Cheng Tiegaolin after I went back last night, so I came to work early this morning without delay."
He wasn't in a hurry, but he was afraid that if the shop opened late, it would delay the owner's business.
Mrs. Sun rolled up her sleeves. “I’m not the boss, my little sister is. My surname is Sun. You’ve done a really good job. I’ll help you out. Once the carpenter arrives, we’ll work hard today and open for business tomorrow.”
"Okay." Lai Ping then squatted down and started working again.
He is skillful and meticulous in his work, and very steady when working.
After observing him secretly, Mrs. Sun felt relieved; this person was much more reliable than she was.
What should have taken three days was accomplished today thanks to Lai Ping's effective management.
The shop was a bit small, so some of the tables and chairs were set up outside.
By the eleventh day of the first lunar month, all three shops were officially open for business.
Ye Panjiu also went to see the opening of Sun's shop.
Lai Ping was busy in the shop, while Sun Shi, with her sharp voice and uninhibited manner, kept talking non-stop as she solicited customers at the door.
If she encountered a lecherous man who spoke rudely, Madam Sun would not tolerate it. She would retort with a few words, making the man's face burn with embarrassment, and he would not be able to stay in the room and would slink away in disgrace.
Ye Panjiu greatly admired her second sister-in-law for this; she was never one to be outdone by her words.
She then rode her horse to check out the other two shops.
Ye Erniu's shop had been open for two days, but Gao Lin was still performing his acrobatics at the entrance. It has to be said that although he had lost his left arm, his other arm was more flexible than most people's.
Even if I watch it again, I don't find it boring.
He is proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons, including swords, clubs, and staffs.
After she finished gesturing, Ye Panjiu and the crowd applauded and cheered.
Gao Lin then raised one hand and bowed to everyone, saying, "If you think it looks good, come to the shop and have some braised food. My braised food is absolutely delicious!"
Many righteous and martial arts enthusiasts rushed into Jiujiu Braised Food Shop, shouting "Good!"
Ye Panjiu never expected that her shop would become a popular landing spot for martial arts practitioners.
She smiled and headed towards Ye Guihua's shop.
As soon as I arrived at the shop entrance, I heard the voice of a brash young man.
"What are you talking about giving me money? I'm in dire straits right now. Didn't you say that if you're really in trouble, you don't need to give me money?"
The people eating in the shop all turned their eyes over.
Cheng Tie smiled apologetically, "Our shop is a small business, and we can only offer you a bowl of braised dishes as a gift because we're having a hard time. You didn't pay before, so I thought you wouldn't try to renege on your debt later."
