Lu Baiwei happened to come over to help Su Qingrou find a seat. In front of Yu Jing, Su Qingrou spoke to Lu Baiwei enthusiastically.
"Your braised food shop has just opened and the business is so good. Ating Yanfeng even said he would send me some braised food for the opening, but there was no sign of the braised food. I had no choice but to bring my colleagues over to try what your braised food tastes like."
Even people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came to show their support, and Yu Jing was overwhelmed.
What made her even more sad was that at first she was sitting next to Gu Chuanbai. She didn't know whether Gu Chuanbai was trying to free up seats for others or he felt embarrassed for her, so he moved his seat far away from her under the pretext of moving seats for Su Qingrou and the others.
She avoids it like the plague.
This time she saw clearly that there was obvious disgust in Gu Chuanbai's eyes towards her.
Although the braised dishes were delicious, Yu Jing also found them boring. She was the only customer who had never enjoyed the food since the opening of the Shiweiji braised food shop.
Fortunately, Gu Chuanbai's invitation was during the lunch break. If it had been delayed a little longer, Yu Jing would have seen people coming to show their support in waves.
Old man He brought a few old guys from the compound to the braised food restaurant to show their support, and also called Zhou Zhaoye and Old Man Su to come along. Tang Jingchuan and Tang Yuanhuai brought their comrades to show their support, He Hua brought Gu Min's family to show their support, and even He Zhenyuan and Wei Shuhua brought people to eat.
Mr. He and his group took advantage of the hottest time at dinner time and rushed over from the military compound in a jeep. They also had a little drink in the shop.
There was even an unexpected customer who appeared in the braised food shop. It was Old Liu, Liu Cuifang's grandfather, who had not appeared in the compound for a long time.
Considering that he came to show his support, old man Li Zhou Zhaoye did not hold him responsible for his granddaughter's sin, and asked him to come over for a drink.
This made Old Man Liu burst into tears under the influence of alcohol, and he said that he would come more often to take care of the braised food shop business in the future.
When these waves of guests left, they each packed up some braised dishes to take home for their families to try.
It can be said that on the first day of business, the people in the shop were very busy. Lu Baiwei, He Ting and others took advantage of the time when they had no classes at school to sneak out to help, and they finally managed to cope with a prosperous day of business.
When the shop closed, He Ting and Shen Junqian were sent to deliver the braised duck to the old comrades, while Lu Baiwei and the others closed the shop and did the accounting.
"The total is five hundred and twelve dollars and fifty-four cents."
Lu Baiwei reported the shop's daily turnover, and Gu Min, Tang Yunling and Zhou Yanfeng who were present were all shocked.
"Five hundred dollars a day, five thousand dollars for ten days, fifteen thousand dollars a month."
Tang Yunling was dumbfounded: "We only paid over 6,000 yuan for the house we bought now. With that monthly turnover, can't we buy two of the three-story houses we live in?"
Lu Baiwei shook her head: "I can't make that much money. Although I have a contract with the slaughterhouse, the cost of buying meat is not low."
Tang Yunling was only concerned with calculating the turnover and did not take into account the cost of purchasing ingredients, the labor budget, and the initial investment in the shop.
Zhou Yanfeng was very scoundrel to his wife, and he couldn't help but flick Tang Yunling's forehead.
"They say a woman becomes stupid for three years after she gets pregnant. Look at my Lingling."
Tang Yunling hated it most when Zhou Yanfeng flicked her forehead, so she opened her mouth and bit Zhou Yanfeng's hand when he tried to pull it back.
"I'll bite you to death. Who did I get pregnant with?"
"I gave birth to your child, and you dare to call me stupid..."
The young couple was really impressed.
Seeing them showing their affection, Lu Baiwei and Gu Min almost got goosebumps all over their bodies.
However, in the agreement signed with the slaughterhouse, although the purchase cost of duck and pork is one yuan per catty, braised pig heads are purchased individually, and pig trotters and offal are also lower than the market price.
Excluding the cost of ingredients, labor, and discounts for delivery, Lu Baiwei roughly estimated that the net income should be around two hundred yuan.
These days, the monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan, and two hundred yuan a day is equivalent to the monthly salary of four or five people.
And this is the revenue from the opening.
The state-owned restaurant not far away serves stir-fried dishes and noodle soups, and there is no braised food in the nearby farmers' market. As the only business in this restaurant, Lu Baiwei is confident that diners will like the flavor and that business will only get better in the future.
After all, it has just opened, and the neighbors living nearby rely on word of mouth, and many people don’t know about the Shiweiji Braised Food Shop yet.
If they calculated the profit at 200 yuan a day, it would be nearly 6,000 yuan a month, which was indeed close to the price of the house they bought in Bingjiao Hutong.
Lu Baiwei was quite shocked when she calculated that she could earn enough to buy a three-bedroom house in a month.
As expected, only the first person to eat crabs knows how it tastes.
Lu Baiwei and her friends were still immersed in the first day's sales of Shiweiji, and some were also paying attention to what it felt like to be the first person to eat the crab.
In the small courtyard by the lake where Lu Baiwei had previously treated the old comrade's injury, the old comrade was now sitting on a stone bench in the backyard, fishing in the lake.
He asked the guard who was standing nearby making tea: "Dalin, if I remember correctly, that girl's braised food restaurant opened today, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Comrade Lin brewed a cup of tea and placed it on the stone table: "Do you want to eat braised food?"
"I'll drive over to get you some braised meat."
"Do I want to eat stewed food?"
The old comrade turned his head and looked at him: "You, you have been with me for so long, but sometimes you don't understand what I mean."
Comrade Lin stood aside without saying anything.
Seeing that the tea was a little cooler and would not scald anyone, he handed the tea to the old comrade.
"This temperature is just right. Have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."
"I know what you mean. You care about the people and think about how to make their lives better."
"You took on the pressure and got the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to approve the first restaurant to open as an individual business. If the restaurant doesn't open, I won't be able to explain to those old revolutionary comrades."
Comrade Lin comforted him: "Xiao Lu said that he would send you braised dishes on the opening day. It hasn't been delivered yet. I guess the braised food restaurant is doing good business."
"I mean, drive over there for you."
"Forget it, it seems too deliberate for you to go there."
The old comrade waved his hand: "Whether the fish will be hooked or not depends on fate."
Speaking of the topic of whether the fish are taking the bait, the fishing rod thrown into the lake did not move at all, and it seemed that no fish was about to take the bait.
The old comrade patiently took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and heard his wife's voice calling from outside.
"My dear, A-Ting is here to bring us some stewed food."
Hearing that He Ting had brought the braised dishes, the old comrade stood up with great interest.
"Dalin, it looks like the fish has taken the bait."
Guard Lin understood what he meant.
Following the sound, he trotted to the front yard and saw He Ting waiting there with braised dishes, and a stranger, Shen Junqian.
He Ting introduced him: "This is classmate Shen, the one who opened the braised food restaurant with me."
"Is this classmate Shen?"
Comrade Lin nodded to Shen Junqian.
He Ting handed the braised dish to his grandmother, and Comrade Lin called them, "Come to the backyard for some tea. The leader wants to talk to you about the braised food restaurant."
