Chapter 93: To go or to stay
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the wormwood bar opened.
In ancient times, there was no market economy, and commercial development was backward, under normal circumstances, at least before the fifth day of the new year, the people would not go out to the restaurant, and they were still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. In the entire Hanzheng Street, only the Wormwood Bar is open, which should be full of people and deserted.
However, due to the fact that a few years ago, Niu Huan poked out the matter of Haoyang Sect, and everyone came to Wormwood Bar to support Wu Bencao, Wu Bencao had to express his position in public and was willing to stay longer. This matter has spread all over Goose City, and everyone knows that it is necessary to cherish the rare opportunity to eat one less meal.
So, in the early morning of the opening day, the goose city was empty, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Wu Bencao faced so many guests for the first time, and in addition to joy, he sweated for himself in his heart. He regretted it a little, canceled the limited sale, such a huge source of customers poured into the store, but his cooking speed was limited, how could he stand it.
As it turned out, he was right in his concerns, and the speed of cooking and serving really couldn't keep up.
After the guests heard about the change in the rules, in order to improve the efficiency of dining and allow more people to eat and cultivate, they reached an agreement on the spot: all the guests who have received the meal will consciously give up their seats and squat on the ground to eat, so that the next batch of guests can immediately sit down and order.
For Chef Wu, this means that the demand for cooking is endless, wave after wave, and he doesn't even have time to breathe.
In just two hours in the morning, the wormwood bar sold as many as 150 dishes, nearly double the usual amount. If it weren't for Wu Materia Medica's early prediction, a lot of preparation in advance on the first day would not have been so efficient.
After the end of business hours, Wu Bencao was sore and sweaty, and walked out of the kitchen with Wang Xiang's support.
For the first time, he was out of his comfort zone and in a desperate way to make money, feeling like his body was about to be hollowed out and he didn't have the energy to deal with the second half. But there is no way, the business regulations have been released, and even if you are tired, you have to finish frying the dishes with tears.
In the two hours of the afternoon, the wormwood bar sold 100 copies, which was much less than in the morning. It's not because the enthusiasm of customers has decreased, but because Wu Bencao can't hold on, and the speed in his hands has slowed down significantly, and he can only make so many dishes.
After one day, exactly 250 dishes were sold, and a total of 2,000 yuan stones were recorded, and after deducting 80% of the cost, the actual net profit was 400 yuan stones. All the data is three times as much as a normal day in the wormwood bar!
This sales performance is extremely terrifying, and if nothing else, it should be enough to refresh the highest single-day revenue record in Goose City. In one day, he made a net profit of 400 yuan stones, which is equivalent to swallowing a medium-sized consortium in one bite, and if it spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar in the whole city.
Don't look at the number 400 is not big, think it is nothing more than that, in Goose City, the purchasing power of Yuanshi is too strong, and the weight of this amount unit is beyond doubt. It's like adding 100 million words to the end of 400, and its value will change explosively.
Of course, these riches are not what Wu Materia Medica cares about the most. There are only two indicators he cares about, and that is the number of fans and the value of fans.
In terms of system data, the revenue growth on the first day of opening was also explosive. His hard work was not in vain, after closing, the number of fans increased by 207, and the fan value increased by 30,723 points, more than three times the usual income!
That's the effect of removing the limit.
Of course, no hard work is a harvest, which is also the fruit of Wu Bencao's sweat.
After a day of tossing, his eyes were red from the smoke of oil, his skin was accidentally burned in several places, and even almost cut his fingers once, but fortunately, his body sensitivity improved, and he narrowly escaped.
At nightfall, he lay in bed, his body numb and stiff, as if he had been taken away.
Despite this, he looked at the "deposit" in the fan value column, and his heart was still beautiful, and he was pleased that all the labor was immediately worth it. He believed that as long as he gritted his teeth and survived these few days, his combat power would be able to skyrocket again!
No further ado.
From the next day, the performance of the wormwood bar gradually declined. Wu Bencao's diligence and enthusiasm have not declined, but he is really powerless, and the speed of cooking is getting slower and slower.
......
Six days later, Wu Materia Medica's total sales performance was as follows: the net profit was 1,755 yuanshi, the total number of fans became 3,971, and the balance of fan value accumulated was 146,000 points.
In the past, when the limited sales were limited, an average of 8,000 fans could be earned every day, which is equivalent to Wu Materia Medica completing the daily sales results of 18 days in just 6 days. Isn't it hard work to triple all the workload?
He used his practical actions to respond to the enthusiasm of the elders of Goose City that day.
He deserves everyone's support, and he is a well-deserved pride of Goose City.
It's time to leave, hide your merit and fame, and it's time to leave.
After closing on the sixth day, that is, on the evening of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Wu Bencao did not let Wang Xiang help him into the bedroom to rest as he did a few days ago. Wang Xiang and Bai Yujing also had a hunch, seeing that he was obviously conserving his strength during the day, and maybe he had another plan.
Wu Bencao stood in the lobby, looked around at the familiar store, and said reluctantly: "Go and pack your luggage, I changed my plan, let's go tonight......"
Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Why? Didn't we say okay, and then leave after selling for seven days?"
He thought he was leaving tomorrow night, and he hadn't said goodbye to his family solemnly, so he was too hasty to leave now.
Lao Bai didn't say a word, and according to the boss's instructions, he took Xiao Ai back to the courtyard to clean up.
Wu Bencao said: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the three families came to pay New Year's greetings, and Xiao Ai told us the time of leaving, and I felt inappropriate at the time. You remember, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and it is impossible for everyone in Goose City to support us, don't gamble on the trust of others. ”
Wang Xiang didn't seem to understand, "You mean, the three major families will betray us?"
Wu Bencao sighed, and said in his heart that this kid was too real, "I didn't say that, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable." If they accidentally leak the news and are heard by the bad guys, we will be in danger and we can't take this risk. ”
He didn't know that there was really a traitor, but he had a vague premonition that if he acted according to the plan, something might happen.
Wang Xiang wanted to continue to ask, but he pushed him to the door and urged: "Okay, at the critical moment, don't be a mother-in-law and mother-in-law!" Go back and make a long story short with your family, you don't have to come to the store again, just go to the west gate and wait for us, see you or leave!"
Wang Xiang had no choice but to leave.
Wu Bencao looked at his back, shook his head, and was about to close the door again, when a person in the distance ran towards him and shouted, "Boss Wu, wait a minute!"
Wu Bencao stopped his hand and looked at it, only to see that it was an old man, who seemed to be dressed as a slave.
This man came to the door, did not enter the house, and said respectfully: "The old slave is the steward of the city lord's mansion, and on the order of the city lord, I came to inform you that the banquet that I made with you last time can be done tomorrow, please prepare the food in advance." ”
When Wu Bencao heard this, his expression suddenly froze, "Tomorrow?"
What the hell is going on, I was just about to leave tonight, and you told me I couldn't go, and I had to stay and cook for you?
Although the matter has been agreed on a long time ago, and it should not be broken by breaking its promise, but it is in the autumn of critical survival, and it is related to the life of the family, how can you take care of the appointment of just one meal. Anyway, it won't come back in the future, even if it is released from the city owner's pigeons?
The housekeeper smiled kindly and said softly: "The master explained that if you have other arrangements with your family and want to go out to play, he will not stop you." He just thinks that that old friend is coming, and if you can meet him, it will be a rare opportunity for you. ”
There was a lot of mystery in this, Wu Bencao frowned and did not reply.
What does it mean to go out of the city to play? Could it be that Zhang Jun was aware of it and knew that he was going to run away? If this is the case, it means that the news has indeed been leaked, and he should indeed set off as soon as possible.
But what does Zhang Jun mean when he says that he won't stop him? Cao Xianyu is still living in the City Lord's Mansion, and it is obvious that Zhang Jun has a good relationship with Haoyang Sect, in this case, why does he still turn a blind eye and let Wu Bencao leave?
Could it be that there is fraud in it?
As for the last sentence, it is even more inexplicable. There is no friendship between the two, Zhang Jun is not an enemy of him, he is thankful, the old man wants him to stay, meet his old friend, and claim that it is a chance, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
The amount of information in these words was too large, making it difficult for Wu Bencao to digest in a short period of time.
The old housekeeper smiled, not surprised by the reaction of the young man in front of him, and said: "Whether to go or stay, the decision is up to you, and my master is unwilling to interfere." So, you don't have to rush to get back to me, I'll come back tomorrow and say goodbye. ”
With that, he bowed and hurried away.
Wu Bencao was still stunned at the door, frowning and pondering, falling into a long hesitation.
