The three children couldn't stay awake any longer and had fallen asleep. The three men held them, while Song Lili and Lin Xue carried the leftover meat from today.
After getting home and washing up, we put the children to bed before everyone sat down in the yard.
Turn on the lights in the yard. Song Lili had Zhang Qinghua install the lights specifically so that it would be brighter at night.
Then, Song Lili took out a cloth bag and poured out all the money inside; this was the money she had collected that day.
"Let's count and see how much we earned today," Song Lili said, rubbing her hands together excitedly, her eyes sparkling.
Everyone was amused by her greedy appearance, and only after they finished laughing did they start counting.
The money was all in small denominations, mostly one-cent notes, so it seemed like a lot.
It took a long time to count them all. There were over 120 of each kind.
"So many?" Lin Xue and the others couldn't believe the number they heard, thinking they must have misheard or were hallucinating.
How could this be? Each person only costs three cents, so how could there be over a hundred?
Everyone felt it was unreal. "Did they miscount?" Zhang Qingguo said, somewhat disbelievingly.
“Okay, count again.” Zhang Shengtian nodded seriously.
Song Lili thought it was true; quite a lot of people came today, and it only cost a little over a hundred yuan.
Zhang Qinghua probably had a pretty good idea of what was going on, but he was very surprised and his mind was in turmoil, so he didn't stop it.
Having no other choice, Song Lili counted them again. Oh well, she decided to just let them rest assured.
I counted again, and the final result was the same as before. This time, I finally started to believe it a little bit.
"There really are over a hundred," Lin Xue said in a daze.
"It's not much, after all, it includes the cost of raw materials. After deducting the cost, it's only about fifty or sixty yuan." It's not much at all.
Because Song Lili bought a lot of meat, the cost price for the whole day was also very high.
"That's a lot." Zhang Qingguo swallowed hard. He was shocked. Earning fifty or sixty yuan a day, what did that even mean?
One day's earnings can equal two months' salary for others. Do you think that's a lot?
"That's a lot," Zhang Shengtian remarked, also taken aback.
"The price will drop in a few days. There are more people here today because of the discounts." It will gradually fade away later.
"Alright, go and rest. We have to go to the shop tomorrow." Zhang Shengtian stood up, put his hands behind his back, and strolled back to his room. From his back, he seemed to be in a good mood.
Lin Xue and Zhang Qingguo also returned to their room, and Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua then packed up the money and went back.
"Oh my god, I'm so tired. Money is really hard to earn." Song Lili lay on the bed and let out a heavy sigh.
"Hehe... If others hear you saying that, they'll curse you back." Many people want to earn that much money in a day, and they're willing to do it no matter how tiring it is.
Therefore, if others heard Song Lili say this, they would definitely say that she was talking without understanding the situation and was being pretentious.
Song Lili thought about it and realized it might actually be true.
"I was just telling you, I'm exhausted." She buried her face in the blanket, feeling sullen and physically tired.
"Then get some rest. You'll feel better after a good night's sleep." Zhang Qinghua wouldn't tell her to let it go.
Because he knew that this was something Lili enjoyed doing, and that she was only sighing, not complaining.
He can just listen.
"Hmm," Song Lili turned over, grabbed the blanket and covered herself, then lay still.
Zhang Qinghua also got into bed, sat next to Song Lili, and started massaging her muscles to loosen them up, so he could feel some of the muscles.
"Stop pressing, you're tired today, go to sleep, you'll be tired tomorrow too." I really want to do nothing, just lie there and wait to die.
Before falling asleep, Song Lili vaguely thought this.
Later, she fell asleep, unaware that Zhang Qinghua had been massaging her for a long time, massaging her shoulders and legs, before turning off the light and going to sleep.
With a good start on the first day, business was also pretty good on the second day.
There weren't as many as on the first day, but there were still quite a few customers.
Some people who missed it yesterday, and heard it was 40% off, are asking today if it's still 40% off.
Song Lili thought that the discount was only for one day, which seemed a bit unfair, so she took the opportunity to say that there was no 60% off today, but she could offer a 20% discount, and that the discount would be available for the next week as well.
Hearing this made many people happy.
Even if there's no 60% off, 80% off will do. Every penny saved counts, especially since it's only two cents per person.
So the guests were satisfied, and after eating, they all said they would recommend the restaurant to their friends, saying it was great.
Song Lili was overjoyed to hear this and couldn't stop smiling.
She could already picture more and more people coming to eat after hearing the news—and that all came at a price.
Lin Xue came to help again today.
In the morning, Song Lili tried to persuade Lin Xue to set up her stall, but Lin Xue refused, saying, "You'll definitely be very busy the first two days after you open your shop, so I won't set up my stall."
"I'll set up my stall when you don't have so many customers anymore. I'll help out today too."
Lin Xue had thought it through, and she decided to continue setting up her stall, because she also had her own selfish motives.
In the past two days, she has come to understand that there are already employees in her sister-in-law's shop, so whether she goes to help or not doesn't make much difference; she's just another waiter.
So she still wanted to set up her own stall and make multigrain pancakes.
Song Lili couldn't persuade Lin Xue otherwise, so she had to compromise, and the whole family went to the hot pot restaurant.
Then, she was busy, and Song Lili didn't have time to think about anything else, because there were even more people in the store today than yesterday.
Many people came after hearing that there was a 20% discount today. In no time, all the seats in the store were filled, and many people were waiting.
Because of yesterday's experience, everyone was more organized when they got busy, and they roughly understood which areas needed special attention and which areas only needed occasional checks.
Today, only Zhang Shengtian was warming himself by the fire and boiling water, while Zhang Qingguo and his wife also acted as waiters.
After Song Lili went to the kitchen, she didn't come out. After all, with more people, the ingredients would be consumed quickly, and all the manpower had to be mobilized.
Even so, I'm still very busy.
Zhang Qinghua, since there was nothing in the kitchen she could help with, could only come out to work at the cash register and look after the children.
Seeing the thriving business in the store, Zhang Qinghua was happy for Song Lili, but also felt a little sorry for her.
I felt a little annoyed that I didn't know how to do kitchen work, otherwise I could have replaced Lili and let her work as the cashier outside.
At that moment, he suddenly felt an urge to learn cooking, thinking that he could help Song Lili in the future.
Even better, when Lili is tired, you can cook her a meal so she doesn't have to lift a finger and can enjoy a hot meal.
So he decided to study.
