It was almost noon when Ye Wanwan returned to the small room she had prepared for herself. Since there was no one around, she stretched lazily without restraint.
Even if she just sat here and talked with the ladies, it was a bit tiring. However, it did serve as a reminder to her that she had to find a few smart maids to help, otherwise it would be bad if she offended or neglected the nobles.
I have to say that the various delicacies I sent to the master's house in various ways these days were not in vain. I made a lot of money today, and it seems that there is a long-tail effect.
After all, in addition to the large and small bags that people just came to take away today, there are also people who have made reservations about what to eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and there are also cakes that have not yet been sold, and everyone is rushing to pay the deposit.
"Wanwan, I just bought some food here. Just eat it." Mrs. Wang put a pile of food in front of Ye Wanwan. She had received letters from several people, and it was her job to make sure Ye Wanwan ate well.
Ye Wanwan looked at the food on the table without any interest. She just shook her head and took a sip of water. "I've been talking all morning and I really don't have much of an appetite. Let's talk later."
"Then I'll go get you some iced tofu pudding. The weather is really too hot." Mrs. Wang nodded and had to settle for the next best thing.
Ye Wanwan thanked them and continued, "Ask the aunts in charge of the dessert shop to bring a bowl of mung bean soup to everyone, so that they don't get too hot."
"Okay, Wanwan, you take a rest first, I'll be there soon." After saying this, Mrs. Wang left quickly, not forgetting to take with her the only thing she loved, stinky tofu.
Ye Wanwan was a little amused and confused. She really didn't know what kind of family could raise someone like Wang Pozi who was so insightful and had not lost her nature.
When Mrs. Wang came back, she saw Ye Wanwan sleeping on the table. Thinking of how she had been working non-stop these days, she felt very distressed, but she couldn't bear to wake her up. She could only look at the sleeping Ye Wanwan with a sullen face.
"Let's buy a few smart people. This won't be a problem." Finally, when Ye Wanwan woke up, Mrs. Wang told her the solution she had thought of after thinking for a long time.
Ye Wanwan heard these words when she woke up. She was still confused about the day and the situation. "Ah? What's wrong? Aunt Wang, are you too tired today? I was negligent."
"Get up and have dinner. I'll go check on you later." When she saw Ye Wanwan, her first reaction was still to think of her. Wang Po's heart softened. This silly girl, forget it, she would just send her over after she had trained her.
Ye Wanwan rubbed her numb arm and glanced out the window. "Aunt Wang, how is business going outside now?"
"Okay, eat your meal first, and then go down and take a look yourself. No matter how good the business is, you can't exhaust yourself." Mrs. Wang said unhappily. She didn't even eat her meal, but only cared about business!
Ye Wanwan picked up the chopsticks and said "Oh" obediently, but didn't dare to say anything more. If she continued, this stingy woman would probably find someone to complain.
Thinking of the scene where a bunch of people would stare at her while she ate, Ye Wanwan didn't dare to think about it anymore. She ate the shredded chicken cold noodles much faster. Well, she decided to just eat her meal properly.
"Have some more of those freshly-made pan-fried buns." Just as Ye Wanwan was eating noodles silently, Mrs. Wang got a plate of buns from somewhere and put them on the table.
Ye Wanwan was overwhelmed by this sweet burden. She picked up a steamed bun and put it in her mouth. "Okay, I promise to complete the task!"
"You're the only one who talks too much." Mrs. Wang made a cup of light tea and put it aside. Her eyes never left Ye Wanwan, and her position was firm.
Ye Wanwan munched on the buns, deeply regretting having made larger ones just to save time. If only these were thumb-sized pan-fried buns, she wouldn't mind eating two more...
"Aunt Wang, I really can't eat anymore..." Ye Wanwan burped and drank a few more sips of tea. Her mouth was sweeter than honey. "Aunt Wang is so nice to me."
Mrs. Wang was a little helpless. "Okay, let's go down and take a look. If you don't know, you will wonder how much sugar I added to my tea."
The sun has gone to work elsewhere, and with the help of the river breeze near the pier, the heat has been blown away a little. More people are willing to go out and move around, and naturally, the food street has gradually become busy.
"Give me a bowl of cold noodles..."
"Boss, three pan-fried buns..."
...Walking down the dessert shop, Ye Wanwan was completely relieved. As long as the business continued like this, unless there were any major accidents, the income would be stable and considerable.
If she could even boost the economy here, the street's income would probably double. As for how to do it, she still had to think about it...
Because it was the first day of business, each shop was assigned two young scholars from the school to help with the accounting, which avoided many mistakes and relieved most of the pressure for everyone.
"Hello, Boss."
"Hello, Boss."
...Ye Wanwan was a little surprised when she heard the greetings from the aunts. Then she looked at Mrs. Wang who looked much more satisfied beside her, and she understood everything at once.
"Wanwan, I know you are a good person, but when it comes to business, you still have to keep things clearly divided. We'll have to draw up a contract later, so it's never a bad thing to be more cautious." When they reached a place with fewer people, Mrs. Wang advised earnestly.
Ye Wanwan listened to these heartfelt words and nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll write it later, Aunt Wang can help keep an eye on it."
Food is the most important thing for people. Even though many foods in the food court are not sold at a high price, the profit is still considerable. You can make a few cents for each serving, but if you increase the quantity, you can make a lot.
"Sister, if we continue like this, we will be able to make back our investment in less than a month!" Ye Ansheng was tapping on an abacus, looking a bit like an accountant, the abacus made a loud clicking sound and was very fast.
"So this has its advantages! If these shops weren't free, who knows how long it would take to make a profit." Ye Wanwan took the account book, but she didn't think of calculating it again. After all, she had to do everything by herself, which would be really tiring.
With so many people here, the heights have been calculated many times. If there is a mistake, it may be that the school did not teach well. Thinking this way, Ye Wanwan still made a rough calculation in her mind.
The decoration didn't cost much, at most less than one hundred taels of silver, so it was not a problem to make a profit. The cakes that were ordered in the afternoon were available. From now on, apart from the labor and costs, it will be pure profit.
When we returned to the rented yard, everyone's face was filled with fatigue, but also with joyful smiles. Just like the harvest in autumn, today was also a great harvest.
