After returning from Wanhua Tower, Su Xiaoxiao successfully traded with the rich and powerful girls that day, and got more than 10,000 taels of silver at that time.
The five thousand taels that Su Xiaoxiao had previously received from Miss Zhao were given to Qiu'er for safekeeping before returning to Ding's house. At that time, Su Xiaoxiao's novel was that no matter how Qiu'er used it, it would be good. Su Xiaoxiao's love for Qiu'er
She is very trusting. Even if Qiuer uses the five thousand taels to marry her, Su Xiaoxiao will not have any objection. She will just treat it as a dowry given to Qiuer in advance. Anyway, making money without spending it is a fool, just spending it without making money.
She is an idiot. She, Su Xiaoxiao, is neither an idiot nor an idiot.
On this day, Su Xiaoxiao was counting banknotes in Xiaoru's small courtyard, but couldn't get anything right, so he called Qiu'er to ask.
"Qiu'er, what's going on with this banknote? The data is wrong! Why does it always show an extra two thousand taels after counting?"
"Oh, miss, after you left the Ding family in anger, the eldest young master sent the housekeeper to bring you two thousand taels, saying it was for the young lady's living expenses. The second young master also secretly sent two thousand taels, saying that he was afraid that the young lady would have no money to spend."
"Oh, that's it." Su Xiaoxiao continued to count the banknotes, but as she continued to count, she felt something was wrong, "Qiu'er, did you spend two thousand taels on your last trip to Wanhua Building?"
"No, it only cost more than two hundred taels."
"Originally, I had 5,530 taels. Last time I went to Wanhua Building to search for the personal belongings of their three beauties, and sold them for 1,110 taels. Then, I helped Azhu drive away that Qin'er, and the reward I got was
One thousand, seven hundred taels, so my total income is 18,230 taels. The biggest expenditure recently is the one from Wanhua Tower. Counting three hundred taels, then I have 17,930 taels left.
Then add the four thousand taels sent by Ding Shaoze and Ding Shaoyu, the total is 21,930 taels, but now I only have 19,930 taels, where are the two thousand taels left?"
Qiu'er's face turned green as she listened to Su Xiaoxiao settling accounts. When Su Xiaoxiao saw her pale face, she suddenly realized and slapped her forehead, "I understand, you used it to raise a pretty boy. It doesn't matter. You have to pay for happiness."
Yes, who stipulates that only men can have lovers, and women can also have lovers! However, you should take it easy, too much of it will hurt your health."
Qiu'er saw Su Xiaoxiao smiling extremely obscenely, with countless black lines appearing on her forehead. After a while, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Miss, I misunderstood. Qiu'er didn't raise anything like Miss said."
... As for the man, Qiu'er saw that the lady had so much spare money, so he kept it anyway. Last time Qiu'er and Shopkeeper Fu heard that the lady wanted to open a cafeteria, so Qiu'er and Shopkeeper Fu took two thousand taels.
Go and open a store like this."
Su Xiaoxiao looked Qiu'er up and down in disbelief, "Well done to you. You became the boss's wife without telling me. By the way, how is the store's profit?"
Just as Qiu'er was about to speak, a deep and slightly old male voice came, "Speaking of which, I'm really sorry for the young lady. I originally wanted to help the young lady open a store that the young lady wanted to open. The young lady's idea is very good. I don't know why.
The business is just average, and the money earned can only support the daily expenses of the store."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and thought for a while, "Let's go! Go and have a look!"
The three of them arrived at the store. The store was located in the most prosperous area of the capital. There were many restaurants here, which can be called a street for eating. The layout of the restaurant was also in line with the trend of the era. Shopkeeper Fu was an old man in this regard, so he certainly did a good job.
However, the name of the store is not very catchy. It is called Xiangbaili.
"Change your name!"
"What to change?" Shopkeeper Fu and Qiu'er asked at the same time.
“Want Want Buffet Restaurant!”
Isn’t there an advertisement that says it? If you prosper, I will prosper, and everyone will prosper!
"The decoration outside has been made more festive. There are gilded couplets posted at the front door. The first couplet says you are prosperous, I am prosperous and everyone is prosperous. The second couplet is that the rice is fragrant with coriander and everything is fragrant."
Entering the restaurant, you can see a three-meter long table in front of the counter with various snacks, fruits, and dishes. It is almost noon, and there are only a few customers in the restaurant. It seems that it is just as the shopkeeper Fu said,
Business is not very good.
The food and snacks on the long table include all the snacks in the capital, including osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, corn cake, flower cake, steamed buns, steamed buns, rolls, etc., but they are far from the modern richness. As for the fruits, they are only one by one.
There are seasonal fruits such as peaches, pears, and plums, and as for the meals, there are even fewer. The rice is just rice, and the dishes are all famous dishes. They are beautifully made and have all the colors, flavors, and flavors, but the cost is probably not low.
"How much does it cost per customer?"
"Ten taels of silver, children under 12 years old receive 5 taels."
"Ten taels?" Su Xiaoxiao frowned deeper. This is half a month's living expenses for an average family. Who wants to spend so much money for such a meal? "Change it to one tael for adults and half for children!"
"But, miss, we won't even be able to get back half of our capital. The monthly salary for the few chefs who cook signature dishes will be several hundred taels, that's several hundred taels per person! And our ingredients are all
Top-notch dishes sold in other stores cost more than ten taels per dish."
"The buffet restaurant is originally for ordinary people, not wealthy families, so we have to make breakthroughs in ingredients and menus. Expensive famous dishes, such as this roasted whole lamb, and this braised venison, and this and this, are not required
Appeared. As for the menu, I will re-draw it, as well as those celebrity chefs, give them a month's salary and quit!"
"Yes, miss!"
"In addition to food, we also need to have something to drink! For example, juice, milk, goat's milk, and all kinds of porridge and sugar water!"
After Su Xiaoxiao worked hard for a day and night, she finally listed all the food and drink that she could think of. Moreover, Su Xiaoxiao used charcoal (because she couldn't use a brush) to draw a few Want Want cartoons, and
Let the painter paint it on strong and bright silk, and then let the tailor cut it and paste it everywhere in the store. These locations are also particular, so that not only the customers in the store can see it, but also the customers passing by outside the store.
See.
After seven days of preparation, Wangzai Buffet Restaurant reopened. This time, Su Xiaoxiao took advantage of the celebrity effect and invited three handsome men to come and cut the ribbon. Su Xiaoxiao also asked a tailor to make an exquisite robe for the three of them.
It says Wangzi Buffet Restaurant.
Not only that, before the opening, Su Xiaoxiao also asked Ding Shaoze to send people to promote it in the streets and alleys of the capital.
Therefore, before its opening, Wangzai Buffet Restaurant had already made a name for itself both inside and outside the capital. On the day of its opening, the front door of the restaurant was packed with people.
As soon as the three beauties appeared, they posed in various poses to promote the restaurant on the high platform prepared by Su Xiaoxiao. Ding Shaoyu also frequently showed off his unparalleled smiles and did not skimp on his beauty at all, which made women of all ages scream in surprise.
The atmosphere at the scene was unprecedentedly warm.
As soon as Qiuer announced the opening of Wangzai Cafeteria, people flocked in.
