Song Wenzhi only knew a little bit about it, but he also knew that people who opened inns had secret recipes for their craftsmanship, and it was not easy to tell others about it.
Although I missed the taste in my mouth, I didn't ask any more questions.
Song Qiu looked at it, already prepared in his heart.
A meal where both the guest and the host enjoy themselves.
Song Wenzhi knew that things were still busy here, so he didn't want to stay to cause trouble, so he left with his wife and children after dinner.
Song Qiu smiled and took out the two small jars and two paper bags that he had prepared, one for Song Wenzhi and one for Fan Jin.
Said: "This is my family's unique secret recipe, bean paste, and dried chili peppers. It is perfect for cooking, just like the boiled fish just now."
Song Wenzhi and Fan Jin stopped being polite to Song Qiu and accepted it with a smile, thinking that it would be good to make this dish when they go back.
Song Wenzhi left with satisfaction,
Fan Jin, on the other hand, grabbed Song Qiu before going out and muttered in a low voice: "Miss Song's craftsmanship is good. Those rice dumplings are often bought and eaten by us, the old lady, the old lady, and the other masters in the house. We know that Miss Song owns an inn."
, our old man and his wife are also curious, but it’s not open in the town, otherwise they would come to visit today.”
"I'm the one who takes the lead. I tried Miss Song's cooking today and it's really good. It's comparable to Jingweizhai. I guess our old man and his wife also like this unique spicy flavor.
I will reply when I get back and let them try the things Miss Song gave me. I guess one day the two masters will come over on a whim."
When Song Qiu heard this, he was naturally full of promises. If he came, he would be well entertained.
Fan Jin then left the inn with a blushing face. The food tasted good today, and he was accompanied by the little brother. He drank a few more drinks, and his feet were shaking.
Send away Song Wenzhi and several others,
The inn became deserted, and everyone was busy clearing away tables, sweeping the floor, washing dishes, and cleaning up the kitchen. Everyone was busy.
Song Qiu cooked several large tables of dishes. It was the first time his body had experienced this. His shoulders were extremely sore and he was unwilling to move. He sat behind the counter and checked the accounts with Du Chuanfu.
The tea shed was open from June to early August, leaving aside all the costs including mule, cart, ice, and other items, and earned a total of more than sixty taels of silver.
Later, when she built an inn, she had fifteen taels of silver and several hundred wen left over, all of which came from her one hundred taels.
The cost of collecting chili peppers to make bean paste was nearly twenty-five taels of silver. The main reason was that the rapeseed oil used to make bean paste cost a lot, and the chili peppers cost only a penny a pound.
Later, she spent more than ten taels on someone else, but now she is still losing money. After keeping the accounts, when will her one hundred taels be replenished, then she can start to make money.
So how much the inn can earn every day is very important.
I bought vegetables this morning, three grass carp and three crucian carp. The grass carp was five cents per catty and the crucian carp was four cents per catty. It cost a total of forty-four cents.
Two pounds of pork belly and two pounds of lean meat, a total of forty-eight pieces.
Two chickens, forty coins.
Five pounds of tofu, five cents.
The winter melon is homemade, the mushrooms are dried in the sun, and the taro is also homemade, and no money is spent.
In addition, rice noodles and seasonings cannot be calculated so carefully.
If we only count this capital, it would be one hundred and thirty-seven yuan.
Look at the money sold today.
A total of five portions of the three grass carps were made, and four portions were sold for thirty cents each, which equals one hundred and twenty cents.
Of the three crucian carps, only one crucian carp with tofu soup and one pickled pepper crucian carp were sold. The former was fifteen cents a piece and the latter was twelve cents a piece, for a total of twenty-seven cents.
Two portions of the spicy chicken and two portions of the roasted chicken with taro were sold. The former was twenty-five cents a piece and the latter was twenty cents a piece, making a total of ninety cents.
The twice-cooked pork was sold in three portions, each for fifteen cents, which equals forty-five cents.
I sold two portions of winter melon and meatball soup for 20 yuan.
I sold four portions of Mapo Tofu and got thirty-two cents.
In addition, some dishes such as mountain mushrooms are cheap. I only bought five cents for each mountain mushroom, so I sold them for a total of twenty-four cents.
Adding in the rice, which is one penny per head, and the steamed buns, which are also one penny each, we get a total of thirty-seven penny.
One table drank a jug of wine and received ten coins.
Today I received a total of 405 coins.
Well, compared to the income of the tea shed on the first day, it is indeed much less.
But the leftover ingredients can be eaten by Song Wenzhi and others as much as they can by themselves. If they are sold here, they will cost about one or two hundred cash.
And although everything in the tea shed is cheap, it has lost sales and has been busy until mid-afternoon. The inn has only served four tables today.
Four people at the table can sell for 400 cents, which is enough. Even after throwing away the capital, there is a net income of around 100 cents.
Song Qiu is quite satisfied. If you calculate it carefully, you can still make some money.
Take your time.
Song Qiu closed the account book and went into the kitchen to gather the kitchen utensils and other items.
When I came out again, I saw one or two passers-by passing by on the road, looked at the inn, and then moved forward.
Song Qiu raised his eyebrows and looked at the position on the left. The three tea sheds from earlier were still here.
Just do it. In the afternoon, let Du Chuanfu go back and pull the long table over, put it in the inn, and put it in the tea tent in the morning.
As for the greeting at the tea shed, Song Qiu thought about it and came up with an idea.
Yuan Hua and his wife helped pack up the inn and were about to go home when Song Qiu packed a package of steamed and unsold steamed buns for Yuan Hua and thanked them for coming to help today.
As soon as he changed the subject, he said: "Little cousin, I see that you and your cousin are doing business for the first time, and they are busy in an orderly manner. I plan to set up the tea shed tomorrow and buy some hot tea in it.
You can also order steamed buns, steamed buns, noodles or something like glutinous rice balls. Do you think you two are willing to come and work?"
"If you are willing to come, the salary will be the same as in the town, twenty cents a day. You can go back and talk to your uncle and the others and discuss it."
There are many single customers, and there are also many people who can't eat or are reluctant to eat. Such passers-by are also a business. If this service station needs to be implemented, it cannot let go of every passerby.
If you can't afford to order food, you can eat steamed buns, steamed buns, noodles and the like for a few cents. It's hot and warms your stomach. I believe everyone is willing to do so.
When Yuan Hua heard this, he thought it was a good thing.
Now that I am no longer busy with farm work, I can take care of the family fields as long as my father and elder brother are here.
He originally planned to go to the town to find a job, which was better than spending the whole winter idle.
There is no need to go back to discuss it, he can handle it now.
"No problem, Aqiu, you can use me and your cousin. Don't worry, we will do a good job for you."
Mrs. Chen also smiled and said they could do it.
Knowing the character of the two people, being direct relatives, and seeing their ability to do things today, Song Qiu was also satisfied.
He nodded and said: "Okay, that's it, it's settled. You will come here every morning to have breakfast and go to work, and then finish your work in the afternoon and go home."
Anyway, it's only seven or eight miles away. If you walk quickly, it won't take you half an hour. It's very convenient.
Having decided on this matter, Song Qiu estimated that no one would come here today, just to see if there would be accommodation.
We’re going to have dinner here anyway, so don’t be in a hurry and let everyone sit and rest.
Until dusk, no one came to stay outside. Mrs. Wang cooked dinner and everyone ate and cleaned up. Song Qiu, Mr. Yuan, Zhang Lihua and Aling took a walk back to the village.
The three of them, Du Chuanfu, had to stay in the inn and watch over them.
