The business was booming for the first three days after the new shop opened. After the third day, Meng Zhao calculated the profits and found that she had made a net profit of 26 taels in just three days!
Although the shop's foot traffic decreased slightly after the end of the free bowls and basins promotion, her excellent reputation allowed her to retain many loyal customers, and she could still make a profit of nearly six or seven taels every day. If you include the profit from Tongfu Street, she could basically guarantee more than ten taels of profit every day.
However, just as Meng Zhao was feeling triumphant, in a corner not far away, a man was glaring at her shop with gritted teeth, and he was angrily lashing out at Manager Zhou.

Shopkeeper Zhou was even more exhausted. "Young master, we're in the pawn business. Just that screen ornament you saw earlier is worth more than seventy taels of silver, and that's a hard pawn. If we resell it for a hundred taels of silver, the profit would probably be more than that braised pork shop earns in a few days. Why should we compare ourselves to them?"
