Chapter 52: Fangcao counts the money

Buying a food shop, this matter has been thought about as early as when she was in Liufu, but she gave up the idea of cooking herself, cook, it is impossible in this life - burning firewood, it is too difficult.

Say something else.

About the Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng.

First of all, she investigated the easier one - "King Teng", according to the historical King Teng she knew, he was the son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, that is, Li Shimin's younger brother, Li Yuanying, and there was no such person.

If there is such a person, she would not dare to write it, and Wang Bo, one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, if there is such a person, she is also embarrassed to write it.

After all, Mr. Lotte wrote "Song of Long Hatred" for a few years, so it is impossible to come casually with such a long "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion".

Secondly, she wrote "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" silently, and she wrote it for a long time.

originally remembered "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" and "The Difficulty of Shu Dao", but after thinking about it, I put this on her advertising wall.

Of course.

In addition to the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", if you want to attract people to the shop, you also need some other poems - first of all, this is the school road, and the main consumer group is naturally literati and scholars.

A bowl of scallion oil noodles costs four or five yuan, a farmer's meal, seven or eight yuan, compared to their set meal of 20 yuan, it is indeed expensive, but compared to a high-end ordering food shop, it is nothing, not to mention the kind of place in Jinmanlou.

In addition, in addition to meals, they can also "taste" good poetry.

Why not?

She is not a Chinese student, the ancient sayings are long, and she can't move a few articles in her head, if it's just a good sentence, there are always some in her stomach.

So.

There is a wooden sign on each seat, and with the wooden box, Sun Xiaohou made a simple spring-like mechanism, and the wooden card engraved with verses popped out.

There is only one sentence per seat, and if you want to read other verses, you have to go to another seat, and, in the spirit of not wasting food, you have to eat one meal and another meal, always at intervals.

That's how the attendance came out.

Every once in a while, she would change.

At the same time, the activity in the store - free food for a month, especially for the children of the poor family, it is a very good thing, it is rated as the best work of the month, it will be hung in the store, and after a while, you can also add wooden poems.

In this way, more verses can be stocked.

At last.

About the dishes.

The positioning of literati is also deliberate, eating scallion oil noodles and farmhouse rice, will not spend twice the price, and has no interest in famous sentences, and it is a small shop, and it is not realistic to be honest if you want to attract rich people to eat.

In the end, it was decided on a package.

A set meal, four foods, a staple food, a meat, a vegetable, a soup.

On the first day, dace with tempeh, carmine, scallion and hoof soup, and rice.

On the second day, there was okra steamed eggs, dried cabbage, osmanthus shortbread, and lotus root pork rib soup.

On the third day, it cools and changes to fish-flavored eggplant claypot rice with sour plum juice.

The menu varies from day to day.

10 days per rotation.

In general, most of the Tang Dynasty was roasted, steamed, and boiled, (stir-fried and roasted vegetables were roughly in the Song Dynasty), and the popular way to eat wealth at this time was mainly complicated, like the roast goose rice of Jinmanlou, and the rice and other dishes were put in the goose's belly, which was time-consuming, material and heat-intensive, and it was better to make it directly into Cantonese roast goose rice.

The dishes are still those dishes, but she has changed the way she cooks a lot.

In addition, "limited to this season" is still a very attractive word, and the dishes that can be eaten this season will not be eaten next season.

August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is suitable for climbing high to admire the moon, drinking and composing poems, and playing all night...... Catching up with the opening the day before, Xiaodongtian's business was even more prosperous on the second day.

Just one word, fire!

"Fangcao, how much did you collect today?"

Fangcao, who sat behind the counter to collect money, did not dare to drink water all day, for fear of delaying the collection of money.

The box under the counter.

Packed a lot of copper coins.

After closing the door, Fangcao sat on the floor and counted the copper coins over and over again.

"Sister Fangcao, can you count it?"

Fangcao glared at Sun Xiaohou: "Don't interrupt me!" ”

Then, the herbs began to count for the third time.

Sun Xiaohou pouted and walked to the door, looking out of the door through the crack, Sun Er and the two aunts were sitting against the wall, only their eyes followed the hand of Fangcao counting the money, turning together, and she also sat next to her, eating the rest of the cold rice.

Hoof flower soup soaked rice, with a plate of rouge radish.

Eat two bites of food and take a look at the herbs.

Fangcao's appearance of counting money is extremely serious, and it also has a bit of a sacred feeling.

She didn't dare to bother.

Just let her keep counting.

All five of them were tired.

It is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

That is, the beginning of noon to the beginning of the hour.

Before the official opening, Sun Da and his two aunts, they had to wash, chop, and cook, and this process took three hours.

Tightly, a queue began at the door.

"Good, good, okay, it's all ready-made, except for tempeh dace."

Hoof flower soup is stewed early in the morning.

In the afternoon, a large pot was stewed early.

Pour the leftover carmine radish and put the white rice in the pot and cook.

The key is the tempeh fish, you have to master the time and heat, it will be fishy when it is cold, and it will be in the pot for a long time, and the taste is lacking.

Sun Er wet his back.

The two aunts are also busy, one has a quick eye, delivers the food and closes, the other has to help kill the fish, and is busy washing the dishes, there is a wave of people, the bowls in the shop are not enough, she has to run to the backyard to wash the dishes.

The store was closed at the beginning of the year.

There were still people outside the store, and after waiting in line for a while, she bought paper and pens from Hanmo Studio next door, asked Fangcao to simply register the information, and directly asked them to make an appointment for tomorrow.

An average of half an hour for a vacant seat.

It's more convenient to make an appointment.

After closing the door and several people continued to clean up, she went to contact the vegetable farmer and hurriedly delivered the vegetables she wanted tomorrow.

Wait for her to come back.

Yerba Grass is counting copper coins.

Those money, glance at it, and have a rough idea in my heart.

On the way back, she had already calculated the cost of materials, and then estimated that today's income should be about 25%, and the cost of materials is still a bit high.

Costs must be controlled.

There are also ten guests who eat for free, which is an income of 200 Wen.

"Total...... Three thousand eight hundred and ninety-six dollars, and if you add those ten free ones, we have four thousand and ninety-six dollars. ”

Fangcao's voice was small, for fear of being heard by others.

As soon as Fangcao's voice fell, the other people opened their mouths wide.

I couldn't say a word for a long time.

She drank the rest of the soup.

Today's material cost is 915 yuan, 300 rice, 20 sesame seeds, 80 radish, 100 pig's trotters, 15 kelp, 400 fish, and other seasonings, etc., a total of 1,000 yuan.

The pre-decoration is nearly 1,000 yuan, door panels, lamps and candles, wall powder, flooring, etc., mainly for materials, and the proportion of labor costs is very low.

Then there is the rent, which is 600 wen per month.

Wait for the grass to put the money back in the box.

She sent a small purse = red envelope by herself.

"On the first day of opening, everyone worked hard."

"Today is just the beginning, not the end, we have to look forward."

"In addition, the current situation is only temporary, and after a while, the revenue will be stable."

The novelty is only temporary.

It won't be long before daily income plummets – and that's normal.

Leave all the upfront investment behind.

The small treasury currently has more than 23 yuan.
