Seeing the woman's reaction, the three children breathed a sigh of relief. They should have confidence in their mother's braised dishes; they didn't know why they had been so startled.
Chen An and Cheng Yue exchanged a knowing smile and patiently explained, "Chicken and duck frames are six coins each, or ten coins for two. Chicken and duck heads are three coins each, or five coins for two."
Chicken and duck necks cost five coins each, chicken and duck legs cost ten coins each, and pig trotters cost thirty coins each.
All other braised dishes are priced the same, sold by weight, at thirty coins per pound.
We also have three flavors here: five-spice, sweet and spicy, and spicy. Which ones would you like?
The price was carefully considered and finalized by Cheng Yue. She not only wanted to serve high-end clients, but she also couldn't give up business with ordinary people.
These days, the average monthly income for an ordinary person is around seven or eight hundred coins. If the price is too high, it would definitely not be appropriate.
Just think about yourself. In my past life, I earned 5,000 yuan a month, but I couldn't even afford to buy beef that cost 40 yuan a pound a few times. How much more so for people now?
Chicken and duck carcasses have less meat, while the heads, necks, pig's trotters, and bones are weighed out; these are best bought individually.
The others are sold by weight, and after deducting various costs, the profit is already quite substantial.
She wants to make money, but she can't be a dishonest businesswoman.
Cheng Yue knew that the reason it could sell for this price was because it was unique. If it weren't for the taste, people wouldn't buy braised food; they might as well buy two pounds of pork instead.
As for wealthy people, it's even easier to say. They're after the taste, so as long as the price isn't too low, there's nothing wrong with it.
After a moment's thought, the lady was overjoyed. Such a delicious taste at such a good price!
She originally only wanted to buy a little to try, but now she's decided to buy a whole pound!
He pointed at the tray and shouted, "Give me two chicken drumsticks first, the five-spice kind. Also, pack a little of each of these braised dishes, give me a pound, and make them spicy!"
Chicken thighs are meaty, and each of her two sons gets one, without any bias. She and her husband eat the spicy braised food with a little wine, which must be incredibly delicious!
Chen An took the scale, and Chen Lin put the contents into the oil paper. After weighing it to one jin (500 grams), Chen Lin wrapped two chicken drumsticks and handed them to the woman.
Chen Tong was quick with his calculations. Before Cheng Yue could speak, he smiled and said, "The original price is fifty coins, but the first fifty customers today will get a 20% discount, which is forty coins."
The woman readily paid, "Here you go! That's a great deal, luckily I ran fast!"
Chen Tong and Chen Ning laughed together: "Take care!"
They always remembered their mother's words: "In doing business, besides the quality of the food itself, service attitude is also crucial."
As soon as the woman left, the people in line surged forward. The first fifty people got a 20% discount, and there were only forty-nine spots left.
Those at the back of the line were getting anxious, leaning forward to look ahead and counting each person. Those within the top fifty were immediately relieved.
Those who were ranked after 50th were slightly annoyed, thinking that they should have come earlier to queue up, which would have saved them a lot of money!
"Oh, this sweet and spicy one is so delicious! I'll buy half a pound, and a little of everything!"
"This five-spice flavor is just right! I'll buy two pounds, just the pork, with extra pig ears! And a big pig's trotter too!"
The people in front were tasting and shouting, making those in line behind them swallow hard. "Hey you guys in line, hurry up! Why aren't you moving? There's a blockage!"
If you wait in line until there's nothing left to sell, wouldn't that be a waste of all the time you've waited? You'd probably be so angry you'd want to fly to the heavens.
The man at the front, being urged on, was quite annoyed: "What's the rush? We have to try it first before buying! We have to pay after we buy it!"
"Buy, buy, buy! Stop talking, you're wasting time!"
"you!"
Looking at the long queue behind her, Cheng Yue reassured everyone, "Don't worry, there's plenty of braised food left. We won't let you wait in line for nothing."
Hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved. "That's more like it!"
To keep everyone from getting impatient, Chen An and Chen Lin weighed the food together, while Chen Tong and Chen Ning busied themselves serving dishes, and Cheng Yue was only responsible for keeping track of the number of people and calculating the bill.
Now that we can serve two people at the same time, the speed has indeed increased significantly.
The only drawback is that there are too few chicken and duck offal. After all, there are only a few dozen chickens, so the amount of offal is limited.
Unfortunately, there's nowhere to buy them right now, so I can only wait and see how they develop on my own.
Fortunately, there were many customers buying the spiced braised pork, so it didn't seem like we had prepared too little chicken and duck.
While Cheng Yue was thinking about things, she was also calculating the bills and collecting money. The long line was quickly filled up, and in the end, not even chicken or duck frames were left.
The family breathed a sigh of relief after the crowd dispersed.
Chen Lin wiped his forehead. "I never expected business to be so good. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to wipe the sweat off my face. I'm afraid it will fall into my skin."
Chen Tong plopped down on a small stool. "Me too, my palms are all sweaty! I'm always afraid I won't hear what you're saying and will pick up the wrong food."
Chen Ning patted her cheeks, "My face is so stiff from smiling..."
Chen An had been standing on one leg for a long time. He hadn't felt anything when he was busy, but now that he moved slightly, he realized that his leg was numb.
Seeing Chen An winking and making faces, Cheng Yue realized he was standing. It had been an hour; no wonder he was numb.
She quickly helped him sit down, saying, "I didn't even notice when you stood up. This stool is high, so you can sit here."
Chen An was tall; even sitting on a stool, he was still considerably taller than Chen Lin, so it was hard to tell anything about him.
Chen An spoke very sincerely, “It’s inappropriate for me to sit here when people come to buy things. They’ll feel uncomfortable looking at me. Isn’t that what you meant by service attitude?”
Cheng Yue chuckled and joked, "Your service was excellent, so here's a thumbs up for each of you!"
Chen Tong said sweetly, "Mom's braised food is delicious! I'll give Mom two thumbs up as a reward!"
“Including me, my older brother, and Dad, that’s eight thumbs up!” As soon as Chen Ning spoke, Chen An and Chen Lin both gave a thumbs up.
Cheng Yue smiled twice and said, "Okay, I'll take them all!"
After they finished speaking, the family started packing up. Chen Lin took the tray to the backyard to wash and scrub, the sisters were in charge of counting the money, and Chen An was in front tidying up the table.
Cheng Yue went into the kitchen, put the braised meat into her spatial dimension, started cooking rice, and asked her sisters to watch over it, saying she was going to buy groceries.
After selling out of braised food, it would be around noon, so we could only eat lunch at the shop, and that would continue in the future.
Cheng Yue walked into the lobby, took out vegetables and meat from her spatial storage, rested for a while, and then went to the backyard with Chen An.
Lying is easy, but covering up a lie is really tiring!
Cheng Yue told Chen An her thoughts, saying she wanted to tell the children about the space. Chen An hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
He initially thought the children were too young, and that he hadn't spent enough time with them before, so he was a little unsure of their abilities. But now it seems the children are trustworthy.
Mainly, he didn't want to see Cheng Yue doing things in a restricted manner; he knew she would be unhappy about it.
Just as Cheng Yue was about to start cooking, Chen Tong and Chen Ning ran excitedly into the kitchen, their voices barely audible as they whispered, "Mom, we've made a fortune!"
