Although Su Ying was not at home these days, she could tell from the accounts how many customers came in every day. She had never expected that this small shop would have such a brisk business.
With such a diverse menu, I originally thought they could only rely on the taste to retain some customers from the neighborhood, but now it is obvious that the customer flow is not only from the neighborhood, and everyone knows that they can prepare New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, so some people actually come to place orders.
"You have to buy it in advance, Mom. Is it too much to order the New Year's Eve dinner? Did you show them what the New Year's Eve dinner dishes are? Have you calculated the price?"
Chen Shuyun quickly walked to the counter, took out a notebook from a cabinet and handed it to Su Ying.
"Look, I wrote this and I calculated the price. For a table like this, we can make at least seven to ten dollars. We've already booked four more tables."
Su Ying frowned and looked at the menu.
Braised pork elbow, braised fish, sauced spareribs, four-happiness meatballs, four main dishes, three stir-fried dishes, and four cold dishes. A table like this costs thirty-five yuan.
There is also a set meal, which includes braised pork elbow, beggar's chicken, beef brisket with potatoes, braised beef in soy sauce, and four-happiness meatballs, as well as three hot dishes and four cold dishes, which costs 40 yuan.
A table with twelve dishes is already a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
Moreover, the profit is also very high. If you can serve ten tables of New Year's Eve dinner on the night of the New Year, you can earn a few dollars. If you do this for two or three days in a row, it is equivalent to what most people earn in a year.
"Let's buy groceries on the 29th, but we need to cook the meat in advance and make another dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables. If anyone wants to swap it out, we can do it."
Chen Shuyun nodded. Nowadays, people like those big pieces of fat meat very much. They are very satisfying to eat. Some people should want to exchange them.
Chen Shuyun said with some concern.
"Is this a bad idea? I'm afraid vegetable prices will go up on the 29th, so I have to buy some in advance."
Su Ying didn't know this. In the past, she was alone during the Chinese New Year every year and basically didn't buy vegetables. It was easy for her to order takeout on New Year's Eve. She didn't know that vegetable prices would rise as the end of the year approached.
"If I buy it in advance, will it lose its freshness?"
Chen Shuyun thought about it and said helplessly.
"If it were our old yard, we could dig a vegetable cellar there and store the vegetables there so they wouldn't go stale. But that's not possible with my house."
The shop is rented, and we can't dig a vegetable cellar. It's not suitable because we cook in the shop and the temperature will be high.
Wang Dafeng came out from washing dishes at this time and wiped her hands on her apron.
"Aunt, the house where Sister Xiuying and her family live has a yard. Why don't we dig one at her house?"
Speaking of this, Su Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, and she finally remembered that her house had a yard.
Chen Shuyun looked at Wang Dafeng and said.
"The yard Xiuying and her friends live in is rented, and there are several families living in it. How could they possibly dig a vegetable cellar?"
Su Ying smiled.
"Mom, my family can do it. My old man should have the right to control the house. I am his wife, so I should have the right to dig a cellar. I will be home soon and I will see what location to choose. But for this, do we need to find a professional to dig it?"
