When Li Chun was called just now, he knew that these people were not ordinary people. Now seeing how heroic they were, he felt that it would be okay for him to be a little humble.
Because Shen Jia is positioned as a high-end restaurant, the desserts and drinks in this restaurant are not cheap. After this meal, it is estimated that the consumption in this private room alone can reach two silver coins, which is all the silver coins that ordinary people can save in a year.
But this also achieved Shen Jia's goal, so Li Chun bowed his head and said, "Ladies, please wait a moment. Our desserts and milk tea will be delivered soon."
Afterwards, they left the private room. When they saw Lin Tongyu and her group at other seats on the second floor, they were still a little worried that the restaurant wouldn't be able to handle the situation, but now it seems that there shouldn't be any problem.
In fact, most of the things are already prepared, and as long as the above orders are placed, they can be made immediately.
Because of the commotion just now, countless guests were attracted. The four people in the kitchen were also busy. When they saw Li Chun coming down, they all shouted, "Manager Li."
Li Chun quickly handed over what he had in his hand. "Make this table's worth of food first. The others can wait. This table has some serious guests."
"yes."
After hearing what Li Chun said, several people hurried over to look at the list above. Each person was responsible for two or three.
Because he was worried that the people above would be waiting anxiously, Li Chun did not dare to leave for a while. After the 12 dishes were ready, he brought them all to the private room on the second floor where Lin Tongyu was.
He knocked on the door quietly and called softly, "Madam, the food is served."
“Come in quickly!”
Lin Tongyu's voice was full of impatience. Just after Li Chun left, she was bullied by Lin Miaoxu in the private room again. Now she urgently needed something to prove herself.
Li Chun held the food tray tightly in his hand, gently pushed open the door, and delivered the desserts belonging to each person to the table according to his memory.
Lin Tongyu looked at the luxurious version of white jade tofu in front of her. Although the tofu was still shaking from having just been put down, the red, yellow and green ingredients covering it almost dazzled her, and there was even a trace of cold air floating around the edge of the bowl.
She really didn't expect that such a restaurant would use precious ice. Even if the taste was average, it was worthy of her status.
After all, in the northern summer, the weather is hot, and not everyone can use the ice stored in the winter. Only her grandmother's yard occasionally uses it. She can only wait until the hottest days and beg her mother to get some.
In ancient times, most people stored ice in winter for use in summer, so the price of ice was naturally high. However, Cheng Yu had a system called Xiaojiu, which directly used the most convenient saltpeter in ancient times to make ice. Now, a lot of ice was stored in the backyard of Zhenwei Pavilion.
Lin Tongyu couldn't wait to smell the food and immediately said, "Everyone, let's eat."
Then she picked up the spoon beside her and gently scooped up a spoonful. The cool air passed through the spoon to her hand. She took a bite. The smooth taste made the tofu seem as if it was nothing, dancing on the tip of her tongue. The red beans next to it had another texture, soft, glutinous and sweet.
With a little osmanthus honey and honeydew melon in it, the taste is really rich. What's more, the milk in it is mixed with a little ice cubes, which makes it not sweet at all, but rather refreshing and refreshing.
When she came to her senses, she had unknowingly finished the whole bowl of white jade tofu. When she looked up, she saw that others were also busy eating.
She couldn't help but look at her half-sister who had mocked her before. Her gaze was so fiery that it was hard not to notice.
Lin Miaoxu quickly raised her head, picked up her handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, not daring to look at Lin Tongyu's eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Tongyu still had something to understand. He sneered and asked, "I wonder what everyone thinks of this new restaurant I brought? Is it worthy of your status?"
Although she was speaking to everyone present, everyone understood that she was targeting Lin Miaoxu, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly reached freezing point.
Even the two lackeys following Lin Miaoxu didn't say anything, so she couldn't hide anymore.
He wiped the non-existent stains on the corners of his mouth with his handkerchief and explained to Lin Tongyu:
"My sister just spoke out of turn before, please don't blame me," if someone didn't know the soft and tearful tone, they would think that Lin Tongyu was bullying others.
But seeing her shameless look, Lin Tongyu seemed to vent his anger and said sarcastically:
"Some people just don't go out much and have little experience, so they think others are as shallow as her and dare to say anything. I think she should teach them some manners at home before going out, so as not to make herself a laughing stock."
Lin Miaoxu originally wanted to hold back and drink the milk tea in front of her, but it was rare for her to be at a disadvantage. After being so angry at Lin Tongyu, she ignored everything and stood up to walk out.
Lin Tongyu ignored her and just said as she left: "I didn't say I'd treat you to black jade tofu. I think you should pay first before you leave. I don't want to see anyone chasing after a debt to the prefectural government."
Lin Miaoxu almost couldn't control her expression. Thinking about the prices on the menu, she casually threw a silver ingot to Li Chun, then slammed the door and left.
Although the silver ingots thrown down were enough to pay for food, if the door was broken, this amount of money would not be enough to replace it.
Looking at the frustrated Lin Miaoxu, Lin Tongyu almost couldn't help laughing in the room. This was a typical example of being taught a lesson. It was a rare opportunity for her to gain the upper hand. She took her two friends to continue eating in the room before leaving.
When he left, he placed a five-liang silver ingot on the table and casually said, "The extra is your reward."
"Thank you for the reward, ma'am."
Fuqiu had naturally anticipated this situation, so Li Chun was quite calm in dealing with it. It was really exciting to think that he had earned twice as much money today.
When the business ended for the day, Shen Jia calculated and found that the turnover for today alone was more than fifty taels, and the profit was half of that. The profit for this day was equivalent to the profit of an ordinary branch in a month.
It seems that some things can only be profitable if they are done in places where there are many rich people. When Fuqiu was counting, she almost thought she had seen it wrong.
When the two of them reviewed it together again, they realized that the number was real. She was so surprised that she almost screamed out loud. She had been managing the accounts for so long, but this was the first time she had seen so much daily revenue. Her sleepiness immediately disappeared.
"Jia Niang, what we've achieved today is truly beyond our expectations. If this continues, we'll be making nearly a thousand taels of silver a month. In less than two months, we'll be able to earn back all the money we spent on buying this shop."
Before, she thought that the money to buy this shop was too much, but now it seems that she really got a bargain. The others who tried to bargain down the price must be regretting it now.
Shen Jia was very happy to see such high revenue, but she asked Fuqiu not to have such high expectations for the time being.
“Our shop is open for the first day today, and we are offering a 10% discount to everyone. I guess people come to the shop out of curiosity or for other reasons, but the food in our shop is not cheap, so it is difficult for ordinary people to come every day.
So I estimate that revenue will start to decline starting tomorrow, and will gradually stabilize after ten days. A profit of 500 taels a month is considered very good."
After hearing what Shen Jia said, Fuqiu immediately lowered her head, thinking that she still had some unrealistic ideas.
But five hundred taels is not bad either. After comforting herself again in her heart, Fuqiu cheered up again, hoping that her service would make more customers willing to choose their Zhenwei Pavilion.
The situation in the next few days was exactly as Shen Jia had expected, and she randomly found a good day to open her tofu shop that was suitable for the lives of ordinary people.
Perhaps because Zhenweige’s advertising was good, the tofu shop gradually became famous among the people.
Zhenwei Pavilion has become a must-go place for girls and women in the city. Who wouldn’t want to have a bowl of cool and smooth tofu dessert in the hot summer?
Lin Tongyu has become a frequent visitor and often brings her good sisters to Zhenwei Pavilion for gatherings.
Perhaps it is the unique service style of Zhenwei Pavilion, and the fact that everyone is literate and can find no fault in the rules and regulations. In everyone's mind, it is an extremely elegant place. Eight out of ten girls' tea parties and poetry gatherings will be held in Zhenwei Pavilion.
In addition, Shen Jia launches new products from time to time, which can be said to have whetted everyone's appetite. Now, if anyone in the capital city says that he has not been to Zhenwei Pavilion and claims that he has an extraordinary status, no one will respect him.
It’s not that there are people who don’t want to take action against Zhenwei Pavilion. After all, those who suffered losses before are becoming more and more angry when they see that Shen Jia’s business is so prosperous now.
However, as Shen Jia often became the guest of honor of the ladies of various mansions, and it seemed that he had an extraordinary relationship with the wife of the prefect, everyone had to restrain their actions and wait for the opportunity.
Shen Jia naturally knew that there would naturally be people who would be jealous of her family's prosperous business. She often made banquet desserts for the ladies of various mansions because she knew this, and hoped to rely on their help to avoid some of the problems for the time being.
But as time passed, it was time for her to leave. Now Zhenwei Pavilion and Tofu Shop were on the right track. Ten people were transferred from the workshop due to lack of manpower, and now they can handle many matters.
Originally, she planned to take Fuqiu, Xu Zhao and An Yun with her, but Fuqiu said that there were many important people in the city, and she was worried that beginners like Li Chun would not be able to handle the complicated situation, so she decided to stay in the city to look after Shen Jia.
Shen Jia looked at Fuqiu's serious expression and asked again, "Have you really made up your mind?"
