Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 132: First Day of Profit and a Huge Amount of Money

In order to make perfect dishes, the chef practiced day and night these days, and used a lot of ingredients. The dishes were tasted by the people in the restaurant and they gave their opinions. The waiters who usually don't have the opportunity to eat so many delicious foods have all gained a few pounds and their faces have become rounder.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, "Fuyun Pavilion" finally opened. Because of the good preparations in the early stage and the discounts, many people came to try it out.

Jiang Youzhen stood by the window of the private room on the second floor, looking at the waiters who were busy but still organized, and nodded.

The six waiters were all very smart. They wore uniform work clothes and had warm smiles on their faces, giving the guests a good first impression.

"I didn't expect this restaurant to have such novel dishes. This dish called Fish-flavored Shredded Pork is delicious, but there's no fish in it!"

"Sir, you may not know that there is a story behind this..."

The waiter enthusiastically recounted the origin of this dish and added a lot of story lines to it, which made the guests praise him again and again.

Of course, this story was actually made up by Jiang Youzhen based on rumors from his previous life, and he added some touching plots to make it sound more bizarre.

"Sir, your lotus fish buns and candied plum blossoms are here. Please taste them carefully and be careful of the fish bones!"

"There are still lotus pods at this time of year? How bizarre!"

"It's chilled so you can enjoy it at this time of year."

"Your restaurant is interesting. The dishes are very unique and novel."

Listening to the conversation between the waiter and the guest, Jiang Youzhen cast his eyes on the shopkeeper. He was smiling and calculating with an abacus, and his mouth was busy, saying nice things as if they were free.

So, the restaurant didn't close until the end of the evening. If it weren't for the curfew, the restaurant would still be bustling!

Everyone was so busy today that even the woman washing dishes in the kitchen was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. Before the curfew, all the waiters in the restaurant went back one after another, and only the shopkeeper was calculating today's income.

The abacus made a crackling sound, and Shopkeeper Liu rubbed his brows. After finishing the last calculation, he was shocked, and his fatigue was swept away. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. This restaurant is really making a fortune every day!

The next day, Jiang Youzhen came to the restaurant early, and Tong Huaian was no exception. As soon as he arrived, he urged Manager Liu to tell him how much profit the restaurant had made yesterday.

"The young master and the boss will be shocked after hearing this. I really didn't expect this number." Shopkeeper Liu kept it a secret, but unexpectedly, the two of them calmed down and just looked at him with a smile on their faces.

Shopkeeper Liu felt a little bored and could only say directly: "Yesterday's total income was 256 taels, 3 coins and 49 coins."

After he said that, he waited for praise from the two, but unexpectedly Jiang Youzhen frowned, while Tong Huaian was very satisfied.

"This is just a county town, but fortunately there are customers who come to the dock for supplies, so business is not a problem. This profit figure is within my expectation. After all, it is a county town. With an income of more than 6,000 taels a month, after deducting expenses, the net profit can be at least 40%, right?"

Jiang Youzhen shook his head. "We had a discount yesterday because we opened the store. We also had discounts in the first three days, so we had more customers. But because of the discounts, we will definitely lose some revenue."

She calculated that all the liquor was imported, so the profit was not high. It seemed that her restaurant would have to learn to brew its own liquor in the future.

The dishes at Fuyun Pavilion are slightly more expensive than those at other restaurants, after all, many of them are complicated to prepare and are based on soup. The dishes taste good and are relatively novel, but over time, they will filter out customers with limited wallets.

According to the calculation method of calculating half of the net profit, there are discounts in the past two days, so the profit is 40%! That is about 100 taels.

Huh? So it's not so bad? But wait until the discount period is over, the business will probably be affected.

"Yesterday's revenue doesn't prove anything. Let's wait and see in a few days until it stabilizes." Jiang Youzhen was not overwhelmed by the figure. If he could get half of today's business in the future, it would be worth opening this restaurant.

Shopkeeper Liu also calmed down. Indeed, the income from the past few days did not mean anything.

Next, before the restaurant opened at noon, Jiang Youzhen held a regular meeting and put forward suggestions for correcting the problems discovered yesterday. After that, he encouraged everyone and began to paint a rosy picture for them, which made them full of energy.

After five consecutive days of visiting the restaurant, it finally started to run smoothly. However, as Jiang Youzhen had guessed, after the promotion was reduced, the restaurant's business was also less than before.

Other restaurants were very envious of the business of "Fuyun Pavilion", and some even wanted to make some small moves, but after the county magistrate visited the restaurant, they temporarily put their thoughts to rest.

Are you kidding? Not only did the magistrate come, he also spread the word that there is a big shot behind the "Fuyun Pavilion". Who would dare to cause trouble for the "Fuyun Pavilion"?

Even if someone has bad intentions, they would not dare to test it recently. Naturally, they have to wait until they find out the final details of "Fuyun Pavilion" before taking action.

The restaurant's business has stabilized recently, so Jiang Youzhen has focused his attention on the sign-in system.

"It's time to go to the provincial capital!" Because Tong Huaian was going to the county town to take the exam, Jiang Youzhen couldn't use him as an excuse, so he could only take his father to the provincial capital.

"Erlang, pinch me, that pearl is not fake, right?" Jiang Fugui leaned close to Jiang Youzhen's ear, still with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Ouch! You kid, can't you be gentler?" Jiang Fugui glared at Jiang Youzhen. This old girl really pinched him hard! Was she not satisfied with him?

Jiang Youzhen said innocently, "Didn't my father tell me to pinch it? It's real. How could I fake it? I don't have that ability! Besides, if that old clam hadn't carried me up, do you really think I could have swum up?"

"My son is blessed by the Bodhisattva! He is blessed by our ancestors!" Jiang Fugui immediately put his hands together and bowed towards the sky.

"After we get back, let your mother take you to the temple to burn incense. You have always been in trouble, but I heard that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future! Good days are coming."

Jiang Fugui touched Jiang Youzhen's head, and then asked mysteriously: "The old clam must have become a spirit. Not only did it carry you up, but it also spit out pearls for you. It's really a blessing! But how big must it be to be able to carry you up? Tell me more, I want to hear more."

Jiang Youzhen was speechless. She couldn't say that she had the mermaid singing skills, so she could only attribute it to the old clam. Unexpectedly, after Jiang Fugui heard this story, he consciously gave it a legendary color. He wanted to hear more and wanted to see it again.

"Dad! How many times have you heard it? I'm so tired of saying it. My mom and sister can recite it by heart. Go back and ask them to tell you!"
