Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

The customer seemed very happy. "Five pounds and six ounces, the size is just right, and the number is also auspicious. This fish is a good choice."

"What flavor would you like, sir?"

“What flavors are there?”

"There are garlic flavor, slightly spicy flavor, soy sauce flavor, non-spicy flavor that can be eaten by both the elderly and children. There is also spicy flavor, the Li family's exclusive secret spicy flavor, which is fragrant, spicy, and a little numbing. I guarantee that guests who love spicy food will want to eat more after eating it."

The guest hesitated. He was from Sichuan and liked spicy food, but considering his parents, wife and children, he had to give up.

"Forget it, let's have something less spicy."

Jia Que Er immediately saw his dilemma and said, "Sir, you can order a combination of spicy and non-spicy dishes."

The customer was immediately delighted, "Is this more possible?"

Jia Que Er reminded, "But you need to add ten copper coins for the platter."

Ten copper coins was nothing to the customer. "I'll order a combination of spicy and soy sauce."

Many customers in the queue heard Jia Que'er ordering food. Those who came with their families usually ordered a pair of dishes.

Soon, more than fifty fish were booked.

A customer who hadn't ordered fish complained, "Why did you prepare so little fish? Who will eat it? It's such a big restaurant, why don't you prepare more?"

More than a dozen hanging ovens were filled with fish coated with sauce. Futou led his friends and they were busy without interruption.

"Brother Erlang, we don't have enough manpower."

This time, Li Yuer invited almost all of the friends from Tuwozi Village to be his servants. Futouer, Doubao, Yougen, and Shanzier from Fushui Village, the four of them ran without stopping.

Li Erlang had to go into battle himself and go wherever there was a shortage of people.

The customer kept shouting, "Waiter, add a pot of peach blossom tea here."

Li Yuer mixed a lot of drinks based on her previous life, which were suitable for men, women, young and old. The fresh taste immediately conquered the stomachs of many customers, and people came to refill their drinks one after another.

"Coming! Table number three, add a pot of peach blossom tea!"

Jia Que'er shouted with a smoking voice, and Li Erlang quickly put down the bucket in his hand and ran to keep the accounts.

Old man Li and old lady Cai were washing dishes in the backyard at this time.

Boss Li carried a pile of firewood and added it to the stove.

"Oh my god, I was praying to Mazu to bless my business, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous all of a sudden."

Old man Li washed dishes with the villagers from Rabbit Wo Village who were originally hired, and said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter if you are tired or busy. Just be happy that you have work to do."

Wang Dagang's wife took out the hot water from the pot and poured it into a large bucket for hot dishes.

"Erlang has instructed that tableware must be scalded before reuse."

"I know. I'm boiling some water." Li Dalang pumped the bellows desperately, his forehead covered with sweat.

When the news reached the dock, the village chief waved his hand and said to the idle villagers, "Hurry up, go out to the sea and catch fish for Li Ji."

When the men heard that Li Ji was buying seafood, they immediately dropped anchor and set sail to go fishing.

The huge fleet heading out to the sea is quite spectacular to see.

After a while, the first batch of hanging oven grilled fish came out.

Li Dalang called out to the waiter to serve the dishes.

Doubao brought the charcoal grill and served grilled fish to the first customer.

"Sir, the double-crusted sea bass you ordered is ready. Do you need help turning the fish?"

The guest and his family were already half full, the Li family's seafood was so delicious.

When I saw the roasted fish with a charred aroma, my appetite instantly returned.

It was their first time eating it, so they simply asked the waiter to help them prepare it.

"You do it."

"Okay!" Doubao and his team had all been trained in advance and had very skilled techniques. They used a special iron shovel to gently insert it under the fish. With a flip, the fish turned over without any soup splashing out.

The roasted, golden brown and juicy fish meat was immediately revealed, and the side dishes underneath were also revealed. There were both vegetables and fish, and the combination of meat and vegetables was particularly tempting.

"Sir, there is charcoal fire under the oven. Be careful not to burn the children. Let them stay away. Also, there may be some fish bones. Be sure to remove them before eating."

The guest nodded and gave the boy some instructions. The boy was so greedy for the grilled fish that he kept nodding and urging his parents to prepare food for him.

The guest smiled indulgently and put a piece of fish into the boy's bowl.

His mother immediately checked it carefully with chopsticks and only allowed the boy to eat after confirming that there were no fish bones.

The boy couldn't wait to take a bite and immediately squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing that there was no problem with this table, Doubao hurried to entertain the next table.

Li Ji's business was extremely good. From noon until the evening, all the seafood was sold out and the store was barely closed.

Everyone was so tired that they slumped in their chairs. Old Man Li and his friends had originally come to celebrate the opening of the Li family business, but ended up going to work.

Li Erlang complained, "Yu Baoer, we can't go on like this. We'll be exhausted to death. We have to hire someone."

Li Yuer has not been idle this day and has contacted several people.

"Don't worry, we have already contacted them. They will be on duty tomorrow. However, they have not received any training, so they can only help out for now. You have to hurry up and train them."

"Of course, of course." Li Laosan said with back pain.

The new people Li Yuer recruited were either from Tuwozi Village or Fushui Village.

There were Zhou Dafa, Shanzi, Dazhuang, and the children of Li Laohan's cousins, a total of ten people.

Nao Nao learned some words from the village chief, and Li Yuer trained him to be an accountant and let him study under Cai Chengping.

After the waiters left, Li Yuer and the others opened the counter and saw that it was full of money.

"I don't have the energy to count anymore. You guys can do whatever you want."

Li Yuer was young and had limited energy, so he went straight to the backyard to sleep.

When building the shop, because the site was large enough, Li Yuer basically built the shop connected to the backyard. He built staff dormitories in the backyard and dug a well, making life very convenient.

The staff dormitories are not open yet and are awaiting future planning and allocation. They basically all have large bunk beds, with separate beds for men and women.

Mrs. Cai and her companions were very excited. Although they were tired, they were full of energy and gathered around the table counting money.

Today's accounts were kept by Li Erlang and Cai Chengping together. Li Erlang was originally scheduled to be on duty, but he was too busy, so Cai Chengping was temporarily brought in as well.

A mixture of banknotes, silver and copper coins were poured onto the table, forming a huge pile.

"Start counting the banknotes first." Cai Chengping was an old accountant after all, and was very experienced. Although his previous grocery store had never had such a large amount of income, the process was similar.

Silver bills were picked out one by one, usually of small denominations.

"Next, count the silver."

Everyone was rummaging through the pile of money.

"The last is the copper."

The copper coins were strung together in strings, one hundred in a string, and each string was checked after being strung together.

With Cai Chengping's orderly arrangement, it took a full hour to complete.

There's no way, the most time-consuming thing is the copper coin.

"The account is almost correct. The total is thirty-six taels, one hundred and eighty-six coins, twelve coins less than the account book."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him in a daze, Cai Chengping explained, "Twelve cents is considered a normal loss for such a large account."

Li Laosan excitedly explained: "We didn't make it because of the twelve coins, but because we made more than thirty taels in one day!"

Cai Chengping smiled and said, "Not that much. There are still costs to be calculated, including labor costs. And the shop is ours, so there is no rent. Otherwise, we would have to deduct rent."

"That's the best!" Old man Li's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
