Chapter 119
It is the shop that Pei Yan gave her, and now it is her private property.
In line with the principle of not wasting food, Su Guoer simply converted the restaurant into a breakfast shop and hired waiters to prepare breakfast.
Of course, it’s only sold during the morning period.
At noon and in the evening...
She rented out the two stalls in front of the shop and earned eighty taels of silver a month.
It's just small change.
The most important ones are the breakfast shop and the restaurant under his control.
As for what the breakfast shop sells?
We offer duck fat pancakes, mutton soup, scallion pancakes, pork buns, and various types of porridge. We strive to be the first breakfast restaurant in Bianjing to sell such a complete range of food.
Not only that, there are more than a dozen kinds of buns, so it’s not wrong to say that this breakfast restaurant is also a bun shop.
It's just that they also sell some other things.
For example, regular customers are used to eating duck fat pancakes and mutton soup. The mutton soup is also delicious with steamed buns.
Moreover, her buns are only three cents each, and the taste... is definitely better than those sold outside.
Paired with pickles, scallion pancakes and various types of porridge, Su Guoer felt that her breakfast shop would definitely be successful.
It's just... probably not as profitable as before. After all, this store sells low-cost items, and the profit is not high. It is definitely impossible to expect high returns.
But since we don’t charge rent, we can still make more money than renting it out.
She planned to try it for a month first. If it didn't work out, she would find someone to rent it out. Earning three or four hundred taels of silver a month would not be bad.
She came from a humble background and would not look down on this little money.
At most, you just need to spend a little more time watching it and make sure there are no problems.
Su Guoer saw off group of guests.
She was busy that day until midnight before closing the shop and refusing to let customers in.
The two big red lanterns outside the Mingyue Tower by the Bian River were lit all day long.
The guys were all exhausted, so they simply took a shower and went to sleep in the bedroom in the backyard. It was so late, and they didn't plan to go home.
But Su Guoer was still sitting outside. She wasn't sleepy yet, so after Yunniang coaxed Lian Yuaner to sleep, she saw that Su Guoer was still awake and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
When I got closer, I saw Su Guoer was calculating today's revenue with an abacus.
"The renovations and the free food cost a total of 2,800 taels, but today's revenue was only... 900 taels."
Su Guoer sighed: "This is not much more than before." She felt a little disappointed.
Yunniang: "That's not how it's calculated. Today, all diners who come into the restaurant will get a 20% discount on their orders. If we continue to calculate like this, we'll make less money. But tomorrow, things will be better. Tomorrow, the dishes will return to their original prices. If more diners come, we'll definitely make more money than today."
Su Guoer smiled bitterly: "But diners may not be able to come every day."
Yunniang: "There are always people willing to come, not to mention that our restaurant is close to Xiangguo Temple, and people who come to burn incense are also willing to come here to eat. There are also so many people in Bianjing, and the food in our restaurant is not expensive, so there will always be diners willing to come."
"And there are so many regular customers, have you forgotten? Normally, at lunchtime, there's not enough space for everyone to sit. If all those people come, we can easily fill up the lobby on this floor."
Su Guoer felt much better now.
Yunniang was an experienced person, and she comforted her: "Young lady, you may be tired, right? That's why you feel upset. You might as well go back to sleep and you'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
After a busy whole day, even the strongest body can't bear it, right?
But Su Guoer still has the mind to settle the score here, she is truly amazing.
After much persuasion, Su Guoer was finally persuaded to go back to her room.
After returning to the room, Pang Ya was sleeping soundly. Su Guoer converted the other three rooms into accommodation for the servants, two for the ladies and one for the servants, so that they could take a nap when they were tired.
By the way, Changqi also moved in, saying that it could save some rent. Su Guoer didn't say anything. Changqi was a nice person with good skills, so he could help out if he stayed here.
As for Pang Ya, it was natural for her to move in and live with Su Guoer.
Su Guoer's room was bigger, so she simply spent another twenty taels of silver to buy a pear wood carved step-out bed for both of them, dividing the room into two, with each of them living on one side.
Everything was complete, and she had everything that Su Guoer had. Living like this made her feel more secure. And with Chang Qi also living here, the sense of security was even stronger.
He also hired two guys to take turns on night duty as security to prevent any accidents.
But no one should dare to come now, right?
Su Guoer slept until noon before she got up from the bed. When she saw the sun outside, she hurried to the next room to take a look.
Her breakfast shop is still open.
But we can't cut off the food supply for those old customers.
When I got there, I found Yunniang directing a group of maids and the only cook to prepare breakfast.
Su Guoer had already told them how to make breakfast, so they just had to follow her method.
But today is also the first day of her breakfast shop opening, and she was worried that they wouldn't understand anything, so she thought of coming over to keep an eye on it.
When Yunniang saw her coming, she hurriedly said, "You were sleeping so soundly that no one called you, so I came to check on you."
Su Guoer: "You don't need to worry about these things. You are the owner of the fresh food restaurant."
After the Bian Jing Fresh Food Restaurant opened, Yunniang was hired by Su Guoer as the manager, and her monthly salary increased several times more than before.
Yunniang: "It's okay, it's okay. There aren't many people in the restaurant this morning, so I came to take a look. You pay me fifty taels of silver a month, so I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to work a little more."
"And Changqi too, he said he would just watch over there and asked me to come over and keep an eye on it. That way you don't have to get up so early in the future and can sleep a little longer."
Su Guoer smiled helplessly and said, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
If she were to manage both shops, she would have to pay extra fees. Although the fifty taels of silver she offered Yunniang per month was more than what other restaurant owners received.
But, this is also a little thought from Su Guoer.
Yunniang: "We are all family, stop saying these things. I just came here to keep an eye on things, it's not a big deal."
"Besides, if you hadn't taken me in, I'd probably still be worried about my livelihood. You've been a huge help to me, Boss!"
First, he was chased away by the steward when he was setting up a stall. Fortunately, Su Guoer took him in and paid him six taels of silver a month when he was left with nowhere to go.
She can also bring her son to work and take care of his daily life. Su Guoer is also particularly good to Lian Yuaner, and she sees all of this.
This is a treatment she can't enjoy anywhere else.
Not to mention that now that he is the shopkeeper, he can get fifty taels of silver a month.
