If it weren't for the fact that the business at this time of day was really good, the Jiang family would never wake up the little girl. It's just that at this moment, not only the dock workers who often come to cheer are here as usual, but even the stewards on the dock have come into the store for lunch, and the kitchen is really busy for a while, so they have to dig Zhao Siniang up from the bed to help.

To say that Zhao Siniang's shop has been open on the dock for nearly a month, and there have been many well-dressed guests before and after, but none of the stewards on the dock have come to consume.

In fact, those stewards are only the lowest level of managers, and they can't eat any hot meals on the dock at noon. At most, a business house with better conditions like Su Ji will always have a small stove and boil some hot water for them to drink. I have long heard from the coolies under my command that the shops nearby are delicious and affordable, but they always regard themselves as leaders, even if they are just small leaders with a big sesame seed, they all believe that they are people with status and status, and they are naturally unwilling to surrender their identities and eat together with the coolies.

It's just that the people in charge heard that Chen Zhangshi of Su Ji Commercial Bank not only had breakfast in that shop, but also went there to solve it for lunch, and also said that it would be like this in the future, so they didn't have any worries at this time. Although they belong to different trading houses, just like Su Ji Commercial Bank leads the entire Youzhou trading house, they also faintly take Chen Zhangshi as the weather vane. Since people are not afraid of losing their jobs, they are even more afraid. So for a while, all the people in charge of the dock flocked to Zhao's shop.

In the eyes of the people who are accustomed to sitting in their seats and ordering food, it is not decent to pick up the dishes by yourself with a plate. But despite what they thought in their hearts, they did it anyway. There is no other reason, Chen Zhangshi is followed by him, but he is not standing there by himself to pick vegetables? Could it be that they are more expensive than Chen Zhangshi?

Although the leaders stood there and chose like the other guests, the movements were the same. But their purchasing power is obviously several notches higher than that of ordinary customers. After they walked around, the highest-priced dishes in the shop were basically sold out.

The price of Zhaojiapu's self-selected dishes is generally between one penny and three pennies. In addition, on the easternmost side of the long table, there are several large meat dishes, such as sauced duck, sausages, bacon, braised pork and braised pork, which are sold for between 15 and 25 yuan.

Some of the raw materials of these big meat dishes were bought from the market yesterday, and more of them were cheap and good meat that Zhao Siniang got back when she got the opportunity before. Regarding Zhao Siniang's behavior of bringing a piece of pork back every once in a while, Jiang and others have not criticized. But the people who went to the bazaar to buy were their father and daughter, and Zhao Yongzhong couldn't play the role of supervision at all, so that Zhao Siniang always had a thousand reasons to bring meat home, and gradually everyone became numb. As a result, not only do you often have fresh meat to eat at home, but you can also eat all kinds of cured meat.

However, no one had ever thought of selling these big meat in the shop before, and everyone, including Zhao Siniang, thought that the dock was not suitable for selling such high-priced goods. This time, Zhao Siniang tried her best to persuade everyone to add these big meats on the first day of opening, saying that it was for the sake of the shop and to enrich the variety of dishes, but in fact, it was completely to satisfy her appetite for eating meat.

It turned out that although the meat was bought back by Zhao Siniang, the right to dispose of it was in the hands of the Yang family. Yang is the most diligent and thrifty person, no matter what kind of meat, he is only willing to cut two taels at most at a time. There are a total of more than a dozen people in a large family, and there are four or five half-grown children alone, he has a chopstick and you have a chopstick, although everyone spoils her and lets her, try to pick more meat for her, but she still has never eaten to her heart's content.

So knowing that these big meat dishes would not be sold, the unreliable Zhao Siniang still burned a large pot each, and was ready to take the shop and eat it fiercely later.

After listening to the chaotic sound of "jingling", Zhao Siniang, who failed to eat a big meal as she wished, announced with a smile: "There are several stewards who give broken silver, and there is no money at home, so there is no way to accurately weigh the amount of silver." However, according to preliminary estimates, our family has made a net profit of two taels of silver today! ”

Everyone saw the tall pile of copper plates in the cash box, as well as the broken silver scattered in it, and they had already guessed that they must have made a lot of money today. But when they heard that they had made a net profit of nearly two taels of silver, everyone was still shocked - earning two taels a day, which was something they never dreamed of!

Ahem, Zhao Siniang coughed lightly twice and said: "Our shop has a good start today, in order for Ming'er's business to catch up with today's or even do better, I have to rush to the town to purchase." After that, she beckoned her father to flash quickly.

"Siniang, you wait!" Yao opened his mouth to stop Zhao Siniang and said.

"Uncle, don't hesitate to say anything about you!" Zhao Siniang said busily.

Yao has been restless since he returned to Jiang's house from the shop. This abnormal state of his aunt, to be honest, Zhao Siniang did not fail to find it. But she had more important things to do in town, so she chose to turn a blind eye. But now that my aunt spoke, she couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore.

"Siniang, do you think you want me to go back and wash the dishes? I'm stupid, people come to bargain with me, I always say that I can't tell people, I don't know how many baked cakes have been given out for nothing today. Alas, I really can't do the work of standing at the counter. Yao said with a look of embarrassment.

Don't think it's strange, why didn't Yao mention it to Old Man Jiang if he wanted to transfer his job, but instead asked his niece to talk to him? You must know that although Zhao Siniang will have intermittent convulsions and do something unreliable, she is still more trustworthy when it comes to doing serious things. Especially as the biggest hero, her status in the shop is unparalleled, and she basically has the final say in all matters. In fact, when Jiang Yue'e was too busy to come over and ask for help in the morning, Yao pushed Zhao Sanniang out at first. It's just that Zhao Siniang saw it, so she replaced Zhao Sanniang and arranged for the Yao family to be on top. At this time, Yao wanted to switch back to washing dishes, of course, he had to ask for Zhao Siniang's consent.

"Uncle, I know that with your character, it is difficult for you to let you go to the counter. But this eloquence, this guts, and even the cheekiness are all cultivated by practice. You're only on your first day of work today, so of course you're not used to it. It's okay, just stand for two more days and get used to it. Zhao Siniang persuaded bitterly.

Zhao Sanniang, who was sitting on the side, glanced at her and muttered in her heart: Your eloquence, your courage, and especially your cheekiness, I haven't seen you practice, as if you have risen overnight! In my opinion, these things are not only based on practice, but also on talent.

Zhao Siniang didn't know that her second sister was slandering her for being cheeky by nature, and seeing that her aunt was still very embarrassed, she faintly blamed herself a little, and said busily: "Uncle, I know that you feel sorry for those baked cakes, and you feel that you have caused losses to the shop, right?" Seeing that Yao nodded gloomily, Zhao Siniang smiled and said, "This is mine, I didn't make it clear to you in advance." In fact, when those baked cakes were made and placed there, I had the intention of using them as an additive, and I didn't expect to sell them for a few bucks. ”

When Yao heard Zhao Siniang say this, she felt a little better, but she was afraid that her niece would deliberately say this to comfort herself, so she asked eagerly, "Really?" ”

"Of course it's true! How can a real pancake be that small? I deliberately made it so small just to give it to the guests for free. Having said that, people Chen said that they would come to our shop for breakfast in the future, and we had to prepare some noodles seriously. I think in addition to this kind of small pancake, you have to make some normal-sized pancakes. Zhao Siniang said with a smile, and then encouraged: "Uncle, try again!" ”

Yao secretly glanced at her husband sitting on the kang, and saw that he was looking at her with encouraging eyes, and she suddenly had a sense of courage and said, "Then I'll try again!" ”

In fact, Zhao Siniang knew very well in her heart that Zhao Sanniang, who stood at the counter, was indeed much more suitable than Yao's. The reason why she insisted on letting Yao's rise to the top was to let Yao's family be familiar with this part of the business, and even cultivate Yao's ability to take charge of himself.

For Zhao Siniang, who yearns for a big city life, although it is a good place to live, she is not destined to stay for a long time. When the Jiang family's life is on the right track and she earns enough capital, she will persuade the family to move to the county seat or even a bigger city to start a new life there. And this shop will definitely be handed over to the Jiang family to run alone, and the Jiang family can choose to hire someone to stand at the counter at that time, but Yao, as the future proprietor, must at least be familiar with this position in order to help Jiang Hua manage the shop well.

"Uncle, just like when we go to other people's shops to buy things, they will more or less give some extra money. In the same way, it is normal for our shop to send guests to add heads, and it is strange not to send it at all! In fact, it is not only baked cakes that can be used as an additive. For example, if a guest buys ten pieces of bean curd, he can give him a piece; If you buy a pound of dried tea, you can give him a ...... or two Of course, this is just an analogy, in fact, we all know the cost of these things, how much to send, how to send, you can do it yourself. ”

"Even if you encounter a difficult guest, you can give him more. Sometimes it takes a penny to get away, and there's really no need to dwell on it. After all, when we open the door to do business, the most important thing is to make money in harmony. Don't look at us, we seem to have suffered a loss at the time, but as long as people remember our family's good, and come to our shop next time, we can earn back the money from him with interest. Zhao Siniang said carefully.

Yao and Jiang Yue, who were on the side, listened and nodded thoughtfully. rs
