Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 18 Doing business within the system

Five male helpers and eight women don't need a penny of wages, as long as they provide three meals, and a few cooks get a monthly salary of [-] Wen.

Such a low salary, Wang Tong felt, was already oppressive, but Zhang Shiqiang and Widow Ma persuaded him that there was no need to pay wages, as long as he took care of the food, the capital did not know how many people would squeeze their heads to the door.

Sweeping the copper coins on the last table into the box, Wang Tong made some calculations in his mind, and said in a low voice:

"Sold 120 copies today, deducting materials and labor, and made a net profit of [-] yuan."

Zhang Shiqiang looked at Wang Tong's disappointed expression, and he was already mentally prepared to hear about losing money. After hearing the "six hundred words", he still didn't react a bit, and then his face was full of ecstasy, and his voice was a little trembling when he spoke. up:
"Six hundred cash, isn't it nearly 20 taels of silver a month, my lord..."

According to the agreement, he can get about four taels, and his monthly income has suddenly doubled. How can he not be ecstatic, Wang Tong smiled and shook his head, and said:
"Opening on the first day, it's always fresh, let's see tomorrow!"

Earning this little money is really too boring for him, but "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't go a thousand miles", although the earning is small, it is earned after all, so let's take it slowly.

The first day of opening is always something new to the people around, but the sales will drop the next day. Team up.

It's really strange that the clean and plentiful, not to mention delicious, food has such a big appeal. Wang Tong pretended to be walking around the crowd and heard this sentence:

"It's too difficult to find a suitable place to eat in this area. I didn't expect there to be such a shop on South Street. It takes a little more time to walk here. It's worth trying to eat."

Yesterday's customers spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and the news spread throughout Nancheng. Everyone knew that there was a very strange shop, and the taste was not bad.

This is not only the passenger flow of pedestrians on South Street, but also brings a lot of people from other areas.

On this day, [-]% more boxed lunches were sold than on the opening day. The men and women in the store couldn't eat any leftovers, so they had to make them themselves.

The trend of increasing customer flow continued until the sixth day before it stabilized. About [-] copies could be sold at noon every day, and customers from other places came here to eat.

In this situation, Wang Tong can only sigh that people in this era have seen too few new things, and the influx of customers has made the profit of the small restaurant, Delicious Restaurant, even better, because the quantity of food purchased When the price is big, the price will inevitably become cheaper, which will bring about an increase in profits.

But this place is just a small restaurant after all, and after a few days, the daily business has stabilized at around 240, but this has already required an increase in manpower.

Everything in the store is watched by Zhang Shiqiang. He has been poor for many years, and he finally has such an opportunity to make money. Naturally, he must take good care of it. In the whole store, from food to hygiene, he is very close. Those male and female helpers dare not have it. With the slightest negligence, Zhang Shiqiang seems to be the big shopkeeper.

The winter vegetarian dishes are cabbage and radish, but the meat dishes are always changing, and chicken, duck, beef and sheep have also begun to appear, but the really popular one is the braised pork.

In this day and age, sugar is still relatively expensive, and sweetness is still a very luxurious taste. The sweetness of braised pork is really tantalizing and tempting.

In order to attract business, Wang Tong worked hard and did not skimp on ingredients. After more than ten days in the Delicious Restaurant, there is actually a dish that has become famous for this type of fast food, and it is this big pot of braised pork.

People often come here to buy this braised pork back home. It is delicious to eat with. If you buy it alone, although the amount of the bowl is sufficient, the price is fifteen yuan, but it does not affect the sales volume. If you can buy it alone, you can buy it alone. Don't care about the money.

It should be between 230 and 240 copies per day. Wang Tong went to Dianmao in the morning and stayed in the restaurant to collect various data after returning to South Street.

Only after knowing the quantity and the changing trend can we make a good plan. Although the business is small, it must be done seriously. Wang Tong felt in a daze that he was back in a modern company, and detailed analysis and various plans were released one after another.

The total expenses of opening this store, as well as the daily income, are estimated to be able to pay back before March next year. If you consider that the end of the year is approaching, people from other places in Beijing have already started to rush home for the New Year. Those with spending power The number of customers is decreasing. After the Spring Festival, the income will increase and the return on capital will be faster.

When the spring blooms, this fast-built simple house also needs to consolidate the foundation. If there is no change in the business, it will need to add some tricks, and maybe even take down the two nearby houses...

There were few customers in the store, so Wang Tong took off the cloth helmet on his head, and used a charcoal pencil and a few pieces of paper to write and draw. I'm looking forward to not having guests anymore, and the rest of the dish, let's make a tooth sacrifice.If it is sold out and made again, Sister Ma is a delicate person, and she is not willing to put more meat for everyone.

"Shopkeeper, here are six copies of [-] Wen."

Originally, Wang Tong would ignore it directly, but the voice was thin and soft, like a woman. Although the etiquette and defense of this era are not as exaggerated as described in later books, except for the poor who have to run around for their livelihood, it is just average. The women of other people will definitely not come to this market place in public.

Looking up in surprise, he saw six young eunuchs in blue robes standing at the entrance, and one of them was taking out money.

Wang Tong glanced down and lowered his head, but stopped writing, and the eunuch who paid the money said with a smile:

"I came here to eat with Xiao Li the day before yesterday. The price is not expensive, but the food is ironed. I don't know how much better than the big pot of dishes in the palace. You can eat cleanly and eat at ease..."

A few people found their seats, chatting and laughing and began to eat. What they talked about were some trivial matters in the palace, and they didn't involve the royal family. They were nothing more than the secrets of eunuchs and court ladies.

Wang Tong was stunned for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his forehead lightly.

I am so confused, where is the restaurant, right on the root of the imperial city, but I always ask the passers-by on the street to figure out where the biggest customer group is, it is in the Forbidden City.

Living in South Street for so many years, eunuchs from the palace pass by every day. There are several small doors on both sides of the Meridian Gate for these eunuchs who are out on business to enter and exit. One of the doors is opened near South Street.

The eunuchs in the palace are very free to move about. Those with a little status have some money in their hands. Although there are imperial kitchens and small kitchens in the palace, they are all for serving the emperor's concubines and the eunuchs. I want to eat some of the following They can't find a place, why doesn't the delicious restaurant do their business!
"This taste is really good, much better than the half-hot and lukewarm messy food in the palace..."

"The roast pork seems to melt in your mouth, it's delicious..."

After the eunuchs finished eating and were about to leave while laughing and discussing, Wang Tong stood up and said politely:

"Several father-in-laws stay behind."
