After half an hour, Lu Sen, Lu Zhili, and Lu Yanshu sorted out the money they had earned that day.
Forty-two thousand four hundred yuan.
Ten thousand is the profit from premium pastries.
Nine hundred yuan is the profit for a regular pastry.
Although 600 jin were sold, 300 jin were given away as gifts, and only the remaining 300 jin could be sold for a little money.
1,500 yuan is the profit for high-end pastries. Since the quantity is fixed for the past two days, the profit is about the same.
The remaining 30,000 is for premium pastries ordered by customers for three days.
Those customers, fearing they wouldn't be able to order premium pastries even with a deposit, paid for three days' worth in one go.
Therefore, An Wan's family now has 50,000 yuan in cash.
This delighted everyone.
Fifty thousand in the 1990s is equivalent to five million in the 2020s.
What surprised and delighted An Wan, Lu Chunhe, and the others even more was that Lu Zhili's math skills had improved.
He can calculate numbers very accurately and carefully, and his bookkeeping is also very good, clear at a glance, and without any mistakes.
The 40,000 yuan in cash was a mess, but he still managed to organize it neatly, with each penny in a bundle and each yuan in a bundle.
Everyone praised him for being smart, which made him nervous, and his face turned bright red, all the way to the tips of his ears.
An Wan guessed that his long-term consumption of the spiritual spring water had helped to some extent.
"Chunhe and I will go to the bank later and deposit 50,000 yuan there, just to be on the safe side. We'll use the remaining few thousand yuan for business operations. If we have time tomorrow, we'll arrange for the house construction as soon as possible. In a few more days, we'll raise the money to over 60,000 yuan and return it to Young Master He."
Looking at the 50,000 yuan recorded in the ledger, Lu Sen's worries lessened somewhat.
An Wan and Lu Chun and the other brothers nodded in agreement.
With so much money, it's safer to put it in the bank.
Yunping settled her daily wages with Niu Ahong. Yesterday's wages were fifty-one yuan, based on a base salary plus commission.
Today's salary was a little over two hundred, because of pre-order payments.
But there won't be as many tomorrow.
Yunping also discussed building a house with Niu Ahong. Because Lu Sen had difficulty walking, she wanted Lu Guochang to help find someone to build the house, which would be equivalent to him being a contractor.
A Niu Hong was naturally happy to help Yun Ping with this favor, plus being a contractor was very lucrative, much better than letting her husband do hard labor in the mountains.
——
Lujia Village
Since Lu Guochang returned to the village yesterday afternoon, he has been frequently asked about Lu Sen's pastry shop.
Everyone said that the pastry shop was doing poorly and would close down within half a month.
This infuriated Lu Guochang and his daughter Lu Qianqian, who spent the entire day arguing with others.
No matter what they say, outsiders don't believe them.
Indeed, many people have visited the dim sum shop and seen that there were no customers in front of the shop.
No matter how Lu Guochang explained, it was no use, especially after someone went to the county town the next day and saw that the pastry shop had no customers.
Startled, he thought business was really bad and immediately went to the convenience store to call the snack shop.
Lu Sen answered the phone just then. After explaining the situation, Lu Guochang felt relieved and went back to work.
Unfortunately, the villagers didn't believe him. They all thought Lu Sen was bad at business and would eventually have to close down.
The village chief, Yu, also visited the pastry shop the next day and saw that, as others had said, not a single customer bought any of Lu Sen's pastries. He was overjoyed.
He spent his days wandering around the village, discussing Lu Sen's pastry shop with everyone he met.
I just happened to be passing by Grandma Lu's place.
And just then, she opened the door and came out.
After exchanging a glance, Village Chief Yu sneaked inside.
Grandma Lu looked around a few times and only closed the door when she didn't see anyone.
"How's the matter I asked you to handle? The college entrance exam results will be released tomorrow, and you must get Lu Jingxing's scores for my grandson."
Grandma Lu pulled Village Chief Yu into a small room to talk, and the first thing she said was about Lu Kong.
For the past two weeks, she has been thinking about this every day.
A few days ago, I raised a few hundred yuan for Village Chief Yu, asking him to intercept Lu Jingxing's college entrance examination results and change his name to Lu Kong.
She couldn't just stand by and watch her grandson miss out on going to university.
Since the plan to murder Lu Sen failed, changing his college entrance exam scores was still easy to arrange.
It has to be sorted out, because her grandson is going to be a high-ranking official.
No matter how much it costs, she will make him take Lu Jingxing's college entrance exam score and go to a top-tier university in the capital.
"Things are a bit tricky; I don't have enough money for bribes. You know how troublesome it is these days; you can't get anything done without money. You only gave me a little over six hundred, which is simply not enough."
Village Chief Yu stroked his mustache, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Old Lady Lu's pocket.
I didn't expect this old woman to have some money; she really is a cunning old fox.
"Not enough? Do you think I'm a god of wealth?" Old Mrs. Lu clutched her pocket tightly. When she saw Village Chief Yu staring at her pocket with a smile, she was so frightened that she jumped back.
"Village Chief Yu, I really have no money left. Don't try to cheat me out of my money. I really have no money left."
This six hundred coins was her most precious possession.
If Village Chief Yu asks for more money, she'll have to sell her blood.
"Six hundred is really not enough. How could I dare to cheat you out of your money? Grandma Lu, as long as you give me another hundred yuan, I guarantee it will be settled by tomorrow." Village Chief Yu withdrew his calculating gaze, turned his back to Grandma Lu, and pretended to be doing this for her own good.
“I’m really doing this for your own good. If 400 isn’t enough, I’ve already spent 100 of my own money. You should at least make up the 100 for me.”
He will definitely handle this.
Not for
It's all because Lu Sen didn't help him, causing him to embarrass himself in front of the Lu family and lose face in front of the whole village last time.
