Xie Rongzhao looked at his worried mother, and couldn't help sighing, if it was according to what she said, this braised chicken would have to be sold for one hundred and twenty yuan to be more in line with their things.

But Liu Ruolan is timid, and always feels that she is cheating people, even if she sells ninety yuan, she has already made a lot of money.

"A-Niang, don't worry, ninety wen is still very easy to sell, and Steward Fang didn't also say it, he went to inquire outside, and he can't sell it too cheaply, otherwise other people's businesses won't be able to do it."

A salted chicken in the restaurant costs more than 100 yuan, mainly because people can eat and drink there.

They opened a braised meat shop, which only took out and couldn't eat in the store, so they reluctantly ordered a ninety penny.

If it is cheaper, it may cause dissatisfaction among other merchants.

"A-Niang, just wait at home with peace of mind, Steward Fang will bring the news back in a while."

Three days ago, Liu Ruolan went to the shop in person and stayed for nearly two hours before coming back, and it was not good to go again today, in the end, it was an official dependent, and she had to take care of Xie Xiuwen's reputation.

When it was time to set up lunch at home, Fang Hu also trotted all the way back.

"Madame, rest assured, the ingredients in the shop today are sold out, and the shopkeeper takes into account that the price has risen back, so the amount of food made today is not much, the same as the opening day, but it is still sold out, and he also said let me come back and report to you, and tomorrow the chickens and ducks will add ten more."

"Okay, just do as he says."

When Liu Ruolan heard that everything was sold out, her face was immediately full of joy.

As long as she doesn't lose money.

After several days of repeated adjustment, the daily braised chicken and braised duck were finally set at 70, and the braised pig's trotters were set at 30.

In addition, other braised vegetables should be added in the follow-up, if only these few things are sold, although they can make money, but the store is too leisurely, and it is easy for customers to get tired of eating for a long time, and the customer flow will be reduced slowly.

At present, the gross profit of a day is about thirteen or four taels of silver, and the total gross profit of a month is about four hundred taels of silver.

Among them, it is necessary to remove the wages of the first four people in the store and the cost of some halogens, and the miscellaneous ones go like this, and the net income is 368 taels a month.

This number is actually not much in the capital, Liu Ruolan looked at the account book repeatedly, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

She only spent half of the 200 taels that her husband gave her before, but now she has more than 300 taels of income, how can she not be happy?

However, thinking that I had invested a lot in buying a shop before, this joy finally subsided a little.

Xie Xiuwen also knew that the business of the shop was good, and in the first month, he did not push new braised vegetables out, mainly because he had to wait a little longer.

"Daddy, did I get the box I asked you to get it?"

Xie Xiuwen looked up, and Xie Rongzhao came in with short legs.

I don't know if this child grew up late, I always feel that she hasn't grown much this year.

"Well, here's the sample, you see, if you can, the next few hundred boxes will be made according to this."

"Wow, it's so beautiful, is the painting on this painting painted by Daddy?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled, he actually just sketched a few strokes, but he didn't expect the effect to be quite good after making it.

This is a wooden double-layer food box, the top of the food box is the craftsman hand-carved auspicious cloud pattern, and then from a distance, it is a rough blessing word, and the body of the food box is painted with a few simple lacquer colors of flowers or the moon out.

Originally, Xie Rongzhao wanted to use carving, but it was too troublesome, and it would take how many craftsmen and how much time it would take to get it out, she couldn't wait.

"Daddy, how many food boxes can be made in a day?"

"It's not slow, it's just that this one proofing takes a little longer, and it will be much faster to do it later, and the carving on the lid of this box is not slow, two craftsmen can make more than 20 a day."

Xie Rongzhao nodded with satisfaction: "There are more than twenty days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, can we take a look in the shop first?" ”

Xie Xiuwen tilted his head to look at her: "You're not afraid of preparing too early, but let people copy it?" ”

That's just as well.

Xie Rongzhao thought about it seriously: "Then let's make a few sets first, send one each to Uncle Zhao and Uncle Cao, and also send it to Uncle Wang, what does Daddy think?" ”

"My good baby is smart."

Xie Xiuwen is now on duty in the Hanlin Academy, and he usually eats in the Hanlin Academy at noon, without paying money, and there are one or two meat dishes every day.

Then the king came in and looked for him: "Let's go, let's go and eat together." ”

As soon as the two of them were about to go out, they saw Schelling also coming.

Although Xie Xiuwen didn't like Xie Xiuning, that is, Xie Chen, he still had a very good sense of this Xie Lin.

"It's a coincidence, I saw Brother Wang's back from a distance, and I was afraid that you would all leave when I came."

Xie Xiuwen smiled, and the three of them went to eat together.

Just a few steps away, Beanzi trotted over with a food box.

"Say hello to the two adults, sir, this is just sent by An Mu, saying that it was ordered by the young lady, and the new braised vegetables are coming over to add dishes to you and a few uncles."

Xie Lin slapped his hands and laughed: "I'm a blessing." ”

Wang Jin also knew that Xie Xiuwen had opened a braised restaurant, and he had eaten it a few times before, and it tasted really good.

"Let's go."

As soon as the food box was opened, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Let's not talk about the contents of it, just say that the delicate and beautiful food box is enough to make people look twice.

"Yo, what kind of plate is this, it's really beautiful!"

"Lord Huiwang, this is a special plate in the store, there are not many of them, and they are all gift boxes ready to be pushed out during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Gift box?"

Xie Lin was also interested, and looked at the top layer of a delicate three-fold small plate, which contained all kinds of braised vegetables, and the amount was very small, as large as the plate used to dip dumplings in vinegar.

"Yo, this is nine?"

"Exactly, this is an auspicious number. Do you have a favorite? ”

Wang Jin picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and he really couldn't wait.

The braised vegetables on this first layer of the plate are relatively novel: quail eggs, kelp knots, lotus root slices, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, etc., exactly nine kinds, this plate is also very careful, and the match is beautiful.

The bottom layer is served up, and it is all large plates, but when you look at it, you know that it is a set of plates on the top.

Chickens, ducks, fish, and look at the fish with a layer of stuff wrapped around it, as if they were afraid that the fish would scatter again.

Xie Lin asked directly, and Douzi smiled: "Lord Xie has good eyesight, this fish has the longest stew time, and even the fish bones in it are soft and can be eaten directly." This is specially prepared for some elderly people, the fish is soft and flavorful, and there is no need to worry about getting stuck in the throat. ”

Wang Jin urged Xie Xiuwen to hurry up with his chopsticks, and he couldn't wait to clip a piece of braised lotus root.

"Well, it tastes really good. Beans, go and tell the shopkeeper, I will have ten sets of this gift box! ”
