After Qingyu and Shi'an returned to Taoyaju, they set the price of Juxianzhai's meal menu. Compared with Fenglelou, because it is a medicinal diet, it costs more medicinal materials than conventional ingredients, so the price is relatively higher than that of Fenglelou.
Fengle Building is slightly taller.
After nightfall, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. Qingyu and Xu Lan talked about the price of the food bill.
She handed the final price to Xu Lan, "Look, excluding the cost of ingredients, what percentage of the profit per unit price is. If it is too low or too high, adjust it again."
Xu Lan took it and browsed it carefully.
When she placed the order, she had already estimated the cost based on the general price of the ingredients, so she quickly came to a conclusion: "I happened to choose three suppliers today. Judging from their prices, I currently have a profit of 90%. One-tenth is the cost of the ingredients.
.
Since the medicinal materials are self-produced, I can’t easily estimate the cost.”
Qingyu nodded slightly: "In addition, there are the personnel costs, the opening requirements, and the daily consumption of firewood, rice, oil and salt. If you get 90%, you should have about 50% left."
Xu Lan exclaimed: "Miss Third, you are really amazing."
Qingyu smiled and said: "I also picked it up off the shelf." Fengle Building has been developed for more than ten years, and its prices have already been very mature. Those prices must have made a huge profit after removing various costs. After all, it is expensive
It is also famous.
Finally, Qingyu said to Xu Land: "You choose ten signature dishes. In addition, we will calculate it as a hundred tables, and draw up a tableware list. We will buy it tomorrow."
Then he said to Shi'an: "Brother needs to find some craftsmen tomorrow. The kitchen in Zhao's house needs to be expanded. It needs to be able to accommodate fifty people. In addition, the house also needs to be tidied up."
Shi'an nodded and said, "Don't worry."
Xu Lan was shocked when she heard that the kitchen had to accommodate fifty people.
Fifty people. She knew that in most restaurant kitchens, in addition to the cooks and cooks, there are also diners who are responsible for cutting vegetables and garnishing dishes. If we look at this ratio, it means that at least ten or twenty cooks are needed.
husband.
She thought of her grandpa's words again. Although grandpa encouraged her and she didn't care verbally, she still felt a little panicked when she thought about having to face so many peers.
Judging from the positioning of Juxianzhai, the third lady must have to find old tricks. Can she really have an advantage in front of those people? Will her position as the master spoon be competed by someone because of this? What if she
What should I do if I can’t convince the public?
Xu Lan fell silent. Although she was good at cooking, the praise she received was limited to those officials in Taoyaju and Zhaoti Temple. Can she really compare to those old tricks? Can she really satisfy everyone?
?
"Sister Lan. Sister Lan?"
Xu Lan suddenly came to his senses, "Ah?"
Qingyu smiled slightly: "I'm still waiting for your tableware list."
Xu Lan quickly put aside her distracting thoughts, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll draw it up right now."
"Don't be too late, I still hope that you will be in good spirits on the opening day." Qingyu rarely joked, which completely stopped Xu Lan's random thoughts.
Xu Lan nodded in agreement, and then hurried back to the house to draw up the order.
Hongtao was eating cold melon, and after hearing the two of them finally finished speaking, she said: "Because of the unblocking of Tongyuan's sewage ditch, many people have now seen the potential of Tongyuan, and housing prices have gradually increased. In the past, three or four
Ten taels, now it has been sold to forty or fifty taels, do we want to buy some more houses? It's still cheap."
Qingyu thought for a moment and asked, "What's the price of the shops in Tongyuan now?"
"If you rent, the most expensive one is 2 taels, and if you buy it, it's almost 50 taels. Now more and more people are going to see the shops, and they are all wondering why the government suddenly started to take control of Tongyuan." He also sighed: "Forsighted people.
There are quite a few people.”
"You choose the best place on the main street and buy twenty shops." Qingyu said as she took a thousand taels of silver from Xuannv Hall and handed it to Hongtao.
Hong Tao made a sound, wiped the water stains on her hands, and stood up with the silver, "Then I'm going back to the house. You guys should go to bed early."
Wen Ya watched Hong Tao leave, and then said to Qing Yu and Shi An: "You have been working hard recently. On the contrary, I have become the most relaxed one."
Shi'an smiled and said: "Teaching disciples is not easy at all."
Speaking of his apprentices, Wen Ya said a few more words and said happily: "Today, my five disciples also made elixirs. That kid, without the blessing of the marrow-washing fruit, was able to form elixirs in three months. His qualifications are not bad."
"
Qingyu couldn't help but smile: "Senior sister, I was too disgusted to see it before." Xuanmen disciples have actually formed elixirs before they start. For practitioners, elixir formation is just the basis for entry.
Wen Ya was very helpless, "There is no way, they are all at the same level, and you will get used to them over time. Now that I think about our Xuanmen disciples, I feel that their qualifications are too incredible."
"The Qi of Xuanmen's True One is strong, and cultivation will be much faster." Shi'an said.
Qingyu tapped her fingers repeatedly, "When the mountain pavilion is built, they will have a good training ground. My senior brother and I went to the East City Gate today to check it out, and the progress is not bad."
Wen Ya couldn't help but be happy, and thought of the mountain pavilion in Xuanmen again, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Master can predict our destiny, or if he knows everything about us here."
After a pause, he asked curiously: "Our souls have separated from the body, so are we considered dead now, or are we still alive? Could it be that Xuanmen has already buried our bodies in the Ancestor Mountain?"
Qingyu sighed helplessly, "I can't see our destiny in Xuanmen." Sometimes in the dead of night, she would actually divine the destiny of herself and her senior brothers and sisters, but she couldn't see anything.
blank.
Wen Ya looked up at the sky. The sky was full of stars, but none of them was above Xuanmen's head.
"Perhaps, everything is arranged secretly." Qingyu said softly.
...
The next day, the family went out separately.
As usual, Wen Ya went to the mountain pavilion to teach disciples how to practice, Shi An went to find a craftsman to clean up the Zhao mansion, Hong Tao went to Tongyuan to buy a shop with a thousand taels of silver on his back. Qing Yu and Xu Lan came to Ciqikou.
Ciqikou, next to Daquwan, is also a large market circle. Here, you can find all kinds of ceramics, and pots and pans are even more common. You can almost see them all along the street.
Xu Lan handed the tableware list to Qingyu. In addition to the most commonly used rice bowls, bowls, and chopsticks, there are also some plates with special shapes. For example, fish plates must be used to hold fish, and snacks and other snacks must also use different plates. In short,
There are more than 30 types of tableware listed.
Since it was still early, Qingyu and Xu Lan started shopping slowly in Ciqikou. Some of the designs were not good-looking, and some were too expensive. However, after shopping for nearly an hour, they finally found more than 30 types.
.
After buying all the items, it was almost noon, so Qingyu simply took Xu Lan to the Eight Immortals Tower for lunch.
Similar to Fengle Building, Baxian Building is also overcrowded. As for the price, the second floor is also comparable.
Qingyu and Xu Lan ate directly in the lobby on the first floor and ordered the eight signature dishes of Baxianlou. After finishing the meal, the smile on Xu Lan's face completely blossomed.
After leaving the Eight Immortals Tower, she said to Qingyu: "Miss Third, I think the taste I made is not bad."
