Chapter 032: Is the Tavern's Profit So Low?
Receive encouragement from Artoria and gain +1 mood.
In fact, he was not too depressed, compared to the congenital conditions, Charlotte Lingling is the king.
It's satisfying to have a resilient body, and all that's left to do is work hard.
As long as you work hard, you can achieve your goals, which is already a very happy thing, right?
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Chef Tang brought a sumptuous meal from the kitchen.
Anyway, Tom's way of serving food is getting more and more fancy, a plate in his left hand, a plate in his right hand, and a plate on his head, I'm really afraid that he will suddenly play acrobatics with these things.
Since moving to the tavern, Zhang Da has never bothered with leftovers.
Even if Tom doesn't grasp the amount of food when cooking, he always has just enough to eat when he cooks less, and he eats just enough to eat when he cooks more.
Zhang Da also vaguely asked Artoria if she had eaten enough, and all she got was a positive answer.
But as long as you don't train after meals, you always have snacks and snacks in your hand, and the amount of food is incomprehensible.
After dinner, the door is open, and the evening is only going to open until about eight o'clock, although it is very important to make money, you can't throw it away in the evening, compared to money, strength is the most important.
"Brother Tatsuya, I'm here again!" A young boatman greeted him warmly.
"Welcome!" Zhang Da also recognized that it was Goodman who brought in at noon, and the names were not introduced one by one at that time, so he didn't know either.
However, the young boatman was very familiar with himself, and mysteriously approached Zhang Daye and asked, "Little brother, will Tom still perform tonight?" ”
Zhang Da also turned his head to look, Tom put a cushion on the bar, lay on his back, and crossed Erlang's legs, picked up a piece of fish fillet and swiped it under his nose, sniffed it vigorously, and then put it in his mouth with enjoyment.
Artoria sat beside her, read a newspaper carefully, glanced at the boatman who was talking to Zhang Daya, and after seeing that there was no hostility, she took a sip of tea and went on with her business.
"Tom, do you still want to play the piano at night?"
Tom stopped chewing and shook his head, playing the piano was as comfortable as lying down.
"I'm sorry, Tom doesn't want to perform." Zhang Da also replied.
"Don't, little brother, please let him play a song!" The young boatman wept and mourned.
"Even though Tom is really good at playing the piano, you don't want to be addicted to that, are you?" Zhang Da also felt that this person might need an anti-addiction system.
"That's not the reason." The young boatman looked left and right and said, "Actually, I'm betting with my friends that as long as they come and see the cat playing the piano in a while, I can earn 30,000 Baileys, and when the time comes, I will divide half of your little brother and help me." ”
Zhang Da also stretched out his hand: "Although I am very excited, but I am not a circus here, I will not force Tom to perform, if you want to see it, go and convince him yourself." ”
"How so...... Well, I'll convince him! The young boatman walked towards Tom with a determined expression.
Zhang Da didn't care about him, and took care of himself to deliver wine to the guests who came in one after another.
A few minutes later, he saw the boatman running out in a hurry, and after a while he came back again, with a large pile of things in his arms and a lot of things on the bar.
Zhang Da also vaguely recognized that the things he was holding were cat food, canned fish, and dried small fish......
Then I saw Tom pounce on him with a smile.
The young boatman happily said hello to Zhang Da and went back to call his hapless friend.
Zhang Da also reached out and poked Tom who was lying on the food pile: "This is being bought?" Don't you have a lot of snacks at home? ”
Tom smiled sheepishly and gestured to the three of them.
Zhang Da also touched Tom's head, rummaged through the inventory, and found all Tom's clothes that he had drawn before and handed them to him, so that he could wear them when he wanted to.
Wait until the young boatman comes with his friends and makes a gesture of pleases to Tom.
Tom finished changing his costume in a second, and walked to the piano to begin his performance under the shocked gaze of the unsuspecting guests.
Perhaps because he received something from others, Tom took out the extremely difficult "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" very seriously this time, which was played in the performance that Jerry disrupted.
Since no one interrupted this time, Tom performed so happily that he didn't even bother to help the fake collar that had fallen.
When Tom finished his performance and bowed, the audience fell silent, and then immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Not everyone here understands music, but they can all hear the music and feel the emotions when it's played – especially when such a powerful performance is done by a kitten who has been unassuming, which is even more exciting.
Looking at their discussions, it is estimated that Tom will soon become the star of 59GR.
Zhang Da also looked at Artoria who opened a bag of cat food and sent it to his mouth, thinking that even if someone had bad intentions, he should be able to cover it.
But......
"Artoria, that's cat food......"
"I just...... Check the quality for Tom. Chewing, Artoria blushed a little and said seriously, "It's not bad, it smells of fish, and it smells of chicken." Well. ”
Zhang Da also supported his forehead, don't analyze the taste of cat food so seriously...... Anyway, I'd like to try it too......
Artoria eventually put down the half-packet of cat food that was left and opened a box of canned fish.
Zhang Da also expressed his relief, at least it is the food that normal people eat, and the cat food is obviously not delicious at all.
When Tom returned to the bar, someone still wanted to listen, and cleverly bribed Tom by buying a snack like a young boatman.
But Tom really didn't want to play this time, tired.
Zhang Da also came forward to persuade them to go back, although not everyone was satisfied, but most of them drank one or two more drinks because of their increased knowledge, and contributed a lot of Bailey to the tavern.
After sending off the last customer, Zhang Da also calculated the income from the first day of opening the store, and after deducting the cost, he made a net profit of a little more than 120,000 Bailey, which is a lot of Tom's credit.
Calculate the cost of food, without buying too expensive ingredients, you need 20,000 or 30,000 Baileys a day, so it is not difficult to feed the three foodies in the tavern, including yourself!
Even if the business in the future is not as hot as it is today, it is not a big problem, even if the income is discounted, there is still a lot of surplus after deducting food expenses to buy clothes and other daily necessities.
Belch...... No, it doesn't seem to take into account the issue of paying taxes and the 2 million Baileys owed when I bought the tavern......
So, it seems that one day's income is only enough for two days of food?
"Is it so low to open a tavern?" Zhang Da also frowned, and if he continued like this, he would doubt whether he could repay the debt of 2 million Bailey.
In fact, what he ignored was that even the Straw Hat Pirates when they first landed on Sky Island, the daily food expenses of the seven people in the group were only 350,000 Bailey......
