Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 161 Chapter 161

Those businessmen who had eaten in the restaurant before went back and showed off to others that they had eaten in the restaurant, bragging that the food here was delicious, and many people were persuaded by them to come and see it.

Because some of the merchants who had been here before had to leave for business reasons, the newcomers filled up the vacant seats and just joined the table. As a result, when they came today, a few people who hadn’t said they would come also came to join in the fun. There is no room for one table.

Mu Yu was coming over to try to find a solution, and seeing that Wen Wang had already solved the problem, half of the people went to sit at another table, with a smile on their faces, and there was no sign of displeasure.

She walked up to Wen Wang and asked him how he could think of a solution so quickly and deal with it so easily.

Wen Wang told her that he had already asked the previous manager of the restaurant for a solution to similar problems. This kind of thing is not uncommon in restaurants, and a lot of experience can be used for reference, and it is not difficult to solve.

Mu Yu nodded, very satisfied with Wen Wang's performance, everyone knows a lot of things, but they don't necessarily do well when they do it.

Knowing something and being able to do it are completely different states. She is in a state of knowing a lot. Wen Wang may not know as much as she does, but she can do a lot. Everything she knows can be done and accomplished It's been a career.

Here the guests get the menu and start ordering.

All the guests present looked at the menu in their hands, and they were full of emotions before they ordered the dishes.

"Immortal duck, [-] liang, stewed whole ** liang...dried bamboo shoots, [-] liang, side dish, [-] liang... millet wine, [-] liang...

Looking at it this way, the price is not too expensive. "

"Indeed, Hongfu Inn costs 20 taels of silver for three meat dishes and one vegetarian meal. Not to mention the taste, it's far worse than here. The style alone is worth the price."

"Yeah, these days, food is half a tael a catty, and if you eat out, it's worth more than a dozen taels if you eat something decent, and the price has risen so badly."

"I remember that before the catastrophe year, it was necessary to eat a meal in this restaurant without the money, but now the price has not increased much, so it seems that we still make money?"

"It's not just a profit, it's a huge profit. The food in this restaurant was not so delicious before!"

"Is it as evil as you say? I have to try it out today."

"Don't worry, you will be satisfied, the food here is better than the most famous restaurant in Bazhou County!"

People at the table began to order dishes one after another, and soon there were ten of them.

The table of the townspeople has also been ordered. There are only six of them.

The dishes and ingredients on the menu are all prepared early, so they are served quickly.

After a while, only the sound of gobbling and vague admiration remained on the wine table.

The aroma diffused out, and many people who hadn't left to join in the fun were hooked and couldn't move, and finally they gathered around a table and came in to order food.

As for the previous tables, they all asked to order a few more dishes. Some of them were too crowded and they disappeared before eating a few chopsticks. .

In the end, all the guests were full of wine and food, touching their big bellies and helping each other to walk.

When Wen Wang sent them away, he asked the boy to tell them that they could order food from the restaurant and eat at home. As a result, three people ordered a total of twelve dishes on the spot, and asked them to deliver them to their residences at the beginning of the evening.

……

In the evening of that day, the boys came back from delivering food, and after the restaurant closed, Mu Yu and Wen Wang settled the accounts together.

On the first day of opening, a total of 55 dishes and 290 pots of wine were sold. Calculated according to the price, the account was [-] four taels of silver.

Nearly 300 taels!Even after deducting various costs, the net profit is more than 200 taels of silver!

More than 200 taels is a very large amount in ordinary years, even in this calamity year of depreciation of money, it is not a small amount of money.

Let's put it this way, the village millet sold in the Taoyuan Grain Shop now costs 200 Wen per catty, [-] taels of silver, which can buy [-] catties of millet!
As for the five hundred catties of millet, even if there are many people working in the Taoyuan Grain Shop, only one or two hundred catties are sent out a day, which is enough for the Taoyuan Grain Shop to last for three or four days.

Mu Yu took a deep breath, she didn't raise the price just for word of mouth, if the price was raised like other inns and restaurants, wouldn't she earn more?
The huge profits of restaurants are really scary.

But in any case, it is a good thing that the restaurant opened successfully.

I hope it will stabilize in a few days. As long as it stabilizes for a while at the beginning, it will not be a problem even if it is deserted for a while.

Mu Yu still has great confidence in the restaurant.

As she expected, although the second day's business was not as hot as the first day, nearly forty dishes and more than a dozen jugs of wine were still sold.

On the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, the business gradually stabilized. There were about 200 dishes and more than a dozen pots of wine, and it was calculated to be nearly [-] taels, a profit of one hundred taels or tens of taels.

This situation is much better than she thought.

Except for a few foreign businessmen who come to the restaurant to order a table of food every day, most of them are ordered early and delivered to the door to eat at home. Apart from those foreign businessmen, there are also many people in the town who contribute nearly half of the restaurant. sales.

It seems that there are still many rich people in the town, but it's just that they don't usually see it.

But this is not what she should pay attention to. Since the restaurant is fine, she focuses on the ingredients.

The fertile land that Sun San helped to buy before has already been bought. The [-] acres of land are all high-quality fertile land. The terrain is low and near the water source, which is very suitable for growing vegetables.

There are many people who help the grain store to get food. It only takes one day to build a fence around the field and build a few grass sheds for people to rest.

She took out some of the processed rapeseed and planted them and waited for two months for these vegetables to grow, and the supply of vegetables at the restaurant would be able to keep up.

In addition to vegetables, the consumption of livestock is actually a lot.

Based on current calculations, the restaurant consumes about two chickens, two ducks, two rabbits, and several eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs every day. It can be used for five or six days if it is delivered together.

She has sent a letter to the village to raise a large number of livestock, and she has also left a few for the people here to breed.

Right now is still a disaster year, and it can still support if it can't keep up with the supply for a while. If it is an ordinary year, this kind of thing will probably drive away the guests. Now, the guests have no other place to go.

Mu Yuduo stayed here for a few days, and after confirming that the reduction of ingredients in the restaurant did not have much impact, he returned to Taoyuan Village with the caravan.

Originally, she wanted to wait for Yuandang, but it turned out that Yuandang hadn't returned, which was more than a month later than the agreed time, either because she felt that there was no money to make and broke the appointment, or because she had encountered a major event and had no energy to take care of this side. .

In short, it doesn't matter which one to wait, it's better to go back to Taoyuan Village, maybe there will be news from Master Wu.
