Hou Zhiqiang gradually calmed down from his excitement. He needed to stay calm at this time, as it was only the first day. He had to settle the accounts properly, otherwise things would be difficult later.
As he thought about it, he cleared his throat and pulled out a list. "Yesterday, following the list you gave me, I bought fifty jin of each type of flour. Rice isn't cheap; a hundred-jin bag of rice costs at least fifteen yuan. And since we need glutinous rice flour, it's even more expensive. Eggs are five cents each, so I bought a hundred for now. Sugar is the most expensive; I bought it at eight mao per jin, and only bought ten jin..."
Ye Ran listened attentively, and as she listened, she took out a pen and began to record the cost of each material in her notebook.
"I spent a total of 68.2 yuan on everything yesterday..." Hou Zhiqiang concluded.
Ye Ran had already calculated the total bill, and compared it with the current market price, Hou Zhiqiang had not overstated the price of any item. On the contrary, perhaps because he had some connections, some materials were even priced slightly lower than she knew.
So Ye Ran nodded, and the cost issue was cleared up. Then she pondered for a moment, "Big brother, how about this? From now on, every time we finish selling pastries, we'll set aside a separate amount of money to cover the cost of the ingredients we buy each time."
Hou Zhiqiang and Ji Yin agreed with the decision after hearing it. "Okay, let's do it this way. This way, it will be clearer when we calculate the accounts and divide the money each time!"
Ye Ran was genuinely happy to see how easily they communicated. After all, finding a reasonable and understanding partner was a rare and precious thing. Especially after the various setbacks she had experienced in her previous life, Ye Ran knew this all too well…
"Well then! Although my brother bought a lot of ingredients yesterday, judging from our current sales situation, buying that many ingredients will definitely not be enough."
We still need to buy a little more, so we need to prepare more reserves. How about we take out two hundred yuan first? Brother, you can deduct yesterday's costs from that, and then use the remaining money to buy materials for tomorrow. Write down the prices and quantities of what you buy, and we can reconcile the accounts when we split the profits tomorrow.”
Seeing how much Ye Ran trusted them, Hou Zhiqiang and his wife were quite happy. "Okay! We'll do it your way!"
As he spoke, Hou Zhiqiang took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and then split the remaining forty yuan and eighty cents with Ye Ran.
Looking at the twenty yuan and forty cents firmly in her hand, Ye Ran remained calm on the surface, but she was overjoyed inside.
Don't underestimate these twenty yuan. According to the current wages, even a first-class worker with a secure job in the factory only earns thirty yuan a month. These twenty yuan are enough for a family's monthly expenses. Not to mention that Ye Ran also has some money in her reserve fund for buying materials. This income is considered very high anywhere.
Ye Ran carefully sorted out the money, one bill at a time, and solemnly put it into her bag. This was the first money she had ever earned in her life, and there would be many more in the future...
She intends to use this money as capital to launch her subsequent businesses, to make money from money, and to continuously accumulate powerful capital for herself. When she has enormous wealth, she will become stronger and stronger, so strong that she will not need to fear anyone's existence!
By then, no matter what moves Xu Qiang or the person behind him make, she will be able to fight back!
