No matter how much Zhang Baosheng hated Zhao Qingyan for her lack of tact, he couldn't stop the reality of his massive bleeding.
The Zhao family's business was exceptionally booming at noon today; everyone who tried the meat skewers raved about them.
"Boss, I'm ordering meat skewers, could you give me a free one too?" the customer asked.
"Of course we'll give it away, we absolutely have to. Today's offer is buy ten meat skewers and get one free. This promotion is only valid for one day."
Sir/Madam, besides lamb skewers, would you like to try some pork belly and chicken skewers as well…?
Besides being a good accountant, Liu Wang is also an excellent salesman.
The current price of mutton is 50 wen per jin. One jin of mutton can make about 30 skewers, and each skewer sells for 5 wen. That means the gross profit of one jin of mutton is 100 wen.
This is without considering the cost of seasonings.
Today, the Zhao family sold a total of 50 jin of mutton, 10 jin of pork belly, and chicken breasts from two chickens. Surprisingly, they didn't sell a single piece of the roasted vegetables they planned to make.
In the end, the Zhao family made a net profit of about five taels of silver today from the barbecue.
There's nothing we can do about it, since we gave away quite a lot today.
This is undoubtedly exciting. Today is our first day, so we don't have much experience yet. Especially with the skewers, we're clearly short-handed.
The next day, delivery drivers also joined the crowd of people eating skewers.
Whether it's takeout or skewers, these kids are happy as long as they have work to do.
That evening, the delivery guys were rewarded with two skewers of meat each. This was undoubtedly the best reward for these young men.
"Wow. This is so delicious! I dare say it's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, bar none."
Gouwazi couldn't help but praise.
Shuanzi, showing no mercy, kicked him in the butt.
"Even food can't shut you up. You're only a teenager, and you still have a long life ahead of you. Grandma Huang will definitely be able to give us even better food in the future."
Sorrow and joy cannot be shared.
When Wang Huaijing learned that Zhao Qingyi had rejected his marriage proposal, he was completely stunned.
He sat there, staring blankly at the ground, motionless.
This situation lasted for at least 35 minutes.
His father was so worried that his son had gone mad that he slapped him several times before he finally calmed him down.
"Huaijing, you can't be serious. The girl didn't like you, but you don't have to be so distracted."
"Dad, there's just something I don't understand."
Logically speaking, I am already a scholar, while the Zhao family has yet to produce a single person with an official title.
And my appearance, not to mention far away, is considered decent in our Wufang Town, right?
Our family is doing quite well, so why didn't she choose me?
I don't think I'm any bad myself, and that girl wasn't particularly outstanding in appearance either.
Why didn't they choose me?
Wang Huaijing's father frowned upon hearing his son's words.
"So, after all this time, you've been thinking about this? If I were that girl, and I knew this was what you were thinking about, I wouldn't even consider you."
After saying that, the old man turned to leave.
"Dad, what do you mean? Why don't you even consider me? What do I lack?" Wang Huaijing was very puzzled.
"What's missing? You're lacking sincerity. Figure it out yourself. Anyway, this old man just doesn't feel comfortable listening to what you've said."
Before the words were finished, the person had already reached the door.
Wang Huaijing fell into self-doubt and doubt again.
"Sincerity? How come I don't have sincerity? I went on this blind date with sincerity, so why didn't she like me?"
Wang Huaijing will not get the correct answer.
After all, what he was always thinking about was how he could possibly reject me, rather than why he would reject me.
In fact, when Wang Xiucai, the matchmaker, learned that the Zhao family had rejected the marriage proposal, he was quite surprised, but he quickly came to terms with it.
The Zhao family thinks differently from normal families; otherwise, how could several generations of a family attend a private school at the same time?
If someone ate a few peanuts while drinking, they wouldn't do something that defies normal human thinking.
The scholar and his wife discussed this matter for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the root cause.
"The problem must lie with Huaijing."
"From now on, let's not interfere with Huaijing's marriage. Let her father worry about it himself."
Wang Xiucai made a very unkind decision.
Time flies like an arrow; more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The pigsty and the dormitory for the nine people we bought earlier have already been built by the Zhao family.
The village chief's family is quite capable; in a short period of time, they managed to gather 93 sows and 52 boars for Zhao Qianci's family.
The village chief's family also kept 10 piglets for themselves.
In order for the piglets to reproduce effectively, Zhao Qian left 10 sows and one boar uncastrated, while the other piglets were not spared.
Since the Zhao family bought people, the vegetables grown in the fields are delivered to the food stalls in town every day by one of the nine people driving a mule cart.
The sweet potatoes planted in the valley were growing well. In order to expand the planting area, Zhao Qingyan took a risk in mid-September and tried to plant the sweet potato vines from the valley into the Zhao family's fields.
It turns out that sweet potato cuttings taken during this period can survive, but the sweet potatoes do not grow very well. The sweet potato vines grow well, but the fruit yield of the sweet potatoes is not high.
Anyway, it's encouraging; sweet potato sprouts are quite delicious.
Each day, some of the harvest is taken to the food stalls in town to be consumed, and the rest is used to feed the pigs. Feeding the pigs is fine too. Anyway, there's no such thing as planting the wrong kind of land.
During this period, Zhao Qingyan moved all the fruit wine and grape wine brewed in the valley back to the Zhao family's old house.
Whether it's ordinary fruit wine or grape wine, both are precious items in the Divine Dragon Kingdom.
After thinking it over, Huang sought out Manager Han of Ruyi Restaurant. When Manager Han took his first sip of wine, he was so excited that he almost fainted.
"This, this, is this the legendary wine? It has a clear color and a sweet aftertaste."
I once had the honor of drinking half a cup of this wine at my employer's place; it was a tribute from a vassal state of the Western Regions. I still vividly remember the taste.
Grandma, your wine tastes even better than the tribute wine from back then.
How much is the old lady willing to sell Ruyi Building to us for?
No matter what, business is the most important thing.
"You know these wines and fruit wines are precious. I'm planning to try a different way of working with them. This time, I'm going to split the profits."
"It's a 50/50 split. No matter how much you sell the drinks at Ruyilou, I'll take 50% of the profit."
Ms. Huang smiled and stated her request.
Manager Han was nearly choked to death by Huang's outrageous demands.
"Grandma, this isn't a good idea. Why don't you sell the wine to our Ruyilou restaurant? We can calculate the price per pound, that way it'll be easier to do the accounting."
"The profit-sharing you mentioned isn't quite right. Are you sure Ruyilou will split the profits with you based on the actual selling price?"
