"Owner, this is our store's accounts for today. Please take a look. ”

"Good. Oh, and made a total of five taels of silver? Yes, yes, after five days, remove those three oil pots. ”

"Yes, host."

In the evening of the same day, when Qin Yong and the others came to the "Copper Smelly Building", the newly hired shopkeeper had already sorted out the accounts.

It's no wonder, after all, that's easy to say. Because, the stinky tofu that the "Copper Stinky Building" took out for sale today is only 200 catties, and now it has all been sold out. So, this number is still very easy to calculate.

However, when this number came out, I was a little disappointed when I followed Qin Yong and prepared to come over to see the lively piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings.

Because, this number, it was far smaller than the number they had originally guessed in their hearts, so they couldn't help but say, "Huh? How so? Is it only five taels of silver? But, but, isn't this 'stinky tofu' going to be sold for ten cents a piece? How can there be only five taels of silver in profit? ”

"Yes, yes! Shopkeeper, don't you have unclean hands and ink our uncle's silver, right? ”

One of the girls started, and the other little girls naturally did not lag behind, so for a while, several little girls stared at the newly hired shopkeeper at the same time, and there were all kinds of doubts and unkindness in their eyes, so the sweat on the head of the shopkeeper came down on the spot, and he hurriedly smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "Eh, a few girls, you are really wronged." The old man didn't have this thought, nor did he have the means, so he could be greedy for the owner's money. These five taels of silver are indeed all the profits of the whole store today. ”

"Really? But the business of our 'Tongxiang Building' just now is very good. ”

The shopkeeper's demeanor doesn't look like he's lying. So the little girls were even more confused. If it weren't for the other party's greed for their uncle's silver taels, then what would be going on? Obviously, the business during the day is extremely enthusiastic, but how come in the end, the whole store only earns so many taels of silver?

Actually, about this, it was Qin'er and the little girls who misunderstood.

Because, they originally came to follow Qin Yong's side, and they had long been accustomed to Qin Yong's extremely exaggerated money-making methods. For example, it is the "Qin's Dessert House" that is making money every day, although it has now been renamed "Liuli Pavilion", but in fact. Its speed of making money is not worse than the original, and it is even much better, to be specific, that is, it can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every day, so when they hear it at first glance, the result of the "copper stinky building" is that they only earn so many taels of silver in one day. So they naturally feel that they are not used to it.

However, what they don't know is that, in fact, the profits of this "copper stinky building" are actually extremely profitable. Because. The raw materials of that "stinky tofu" are nothing more than two kinds, one is ordinary tofu, and the other is amaranth juice, which is stinky water.

Stinky water is extremely cheap. It's almost negligible, and ordinary tofu is from a cost point of view. That's also extremely inexpensive. Because, the same pound of tofu can be sold for thirty or fifty copper coins when made into "stinky tofu", but if it is just ordinary tofu, it is already enough for one or two copper coins.

Actually, don't underestimate these two copper coins. Because, in this era, the purchasing power of copper coins is still quite high. Compared with later generations, it is probably equivalent to two yuan of yuan in later generations. Therefore, one pound of tofu is already two to four yuan. This is basically the same as the price level of later generations.

Of course, in this era, because the production process is relatively backward, it is much worse than the tofu of later generations in terms of quality and appearance, but in terms of raw materials consumed, it will not be too far behind, because the part that is wasted in the end will not be too much. Therefore, the price of the last two is naturally almost the same.

And in this way, one or two copper coins can buy a pound of tofu, not to mention that it is not a good thing in the eyes of big businessmen and nobles like the Qin family, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is only an ordinary thing and an ordinary price. And what about Qin'er, these little girls? It is also such an ordinary person, so when they heard Qin Yong say that he was going to sell this kind of tofu, which was originally only worth one or two cents, for a price of thirty or fifty yuan, they naturally subconsciously felt that this was an extremely lucrative business.

Isn't that a huge profit? From one or two cents to thirty or fifty cents, that's dozens of times the profit. However, what they didn't expect was that if the original base was too small, even if it was dozens of times the profit, the final total would not be too large. Now their "Tongxiang Building" only makes a few taels of silver a day, which is proof. They didn't calculate carefully for a while, so they had that kind of doubt, but after Qin Yong's explanation, they immediately understood.

Moreover, there is another thing about the "Liuli Pavilion", there is one thing that they and almost everyone outside have thought about, that is, what they think is that the matter of the "Liuli Pavilion" making money every day is actually just the advance payment made by those people, and it can also be the advance payment in the next few years, or even more than ten years. Therefore, it is not false to say that the "Liuli Pavilion" is making money every day, but the final figure is not so exaggerated.

Because, although the dim sum in the "Liuli Pavilion" has been mentioned to the sky-high level, the final profit every day is only a thousand taels at most, and the statement of tens of thousands of taels a day is really too far away. Especially after almost all the wealthy merchants and nobles in the entire Bianliang City joined the membership system of the "Liuli Pavilion", the actual daily accounts of the "Liuli Pavilion" after the "Liuli Pavilion" may be "beyond their means".

From this point of view, the "Tongxiang Building" in front of him only has a daily income of a few taels of silver, which is actually not so unacceptable. Moreover, this was not Qin Yong's last plan. When all his plans are realized, it is estimated that the real income of Tongyin Building every day will not be too far from that of "Liuli Pavilion". (To be continued......)
