A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Seeing so many people in the store, the waiters in the lobby felt relieved.

After all, today is the opening day. If the business is not good, the store may not last long and I will have to continue looking for work.

So everyone faced every guest with full energy and smile.

Seeing that the hot pot restaurant opened smoothly, Zhang Yunyue took Li Da to the food store.

Barbecue restaurants and hotpot restaurants serve a larger group of people than ordinary people. After all, no ordinary person would be willing to spend hundreds of coins on a meal, while a meal of noodles in a food shop only costs a dozen coins.

Even if you spend a few dozen cents to buy peppers, they can last for a while, so it’s actually not expensive.

When we arrived at the food store, Zhang Chao was soliciting customers at the door. Zhang Chao had been working in the food store in the town for more than two years.

Now it's easy to attract customers at the door.

Zhang Chao and Li Hai saw Zhang Yunyue and Li Da coming from afar, and stepped forward and asked, "Yueyue, Uncle Li, why are you here?"

"Come and see you guys, how's it going?"

"Very good, we can take care of it. There are quite a lot of customers coming to the store to eat noodles today." After saying that, he pointed to another window on the side and said, "And there are also many people buying chili oil and other things over there."

"That's good. You must be busy today. Have you had lunch?"

"We've all eaten, don't worry about us, Yueyue, you'll be coming over there soon, how are the hot pot and barbecue restaurants doing?"

Zhang Yunyue smiled and said, "All good. Today, three stores are opening at the same time. Their reputation has been established." Then she thought of something and stopped smiling, saying, "Everyone should be more careful from now on. After all, there are many capable people in the city. We can't let them target us."

Zhang Chao also understood what Zhang Yunyue said, and nodded solemnly: "I understand. I will tell Zhang Fangqi and ask him and the waiters to pay attention to it."

"Okay, Brother Xiaochao, you continue to entertain the guests. Uncle Li and I will not disturb you."

"Okay." After Zhang Chao responded, he went back to the door of the restaurant and continued to greet customers.

Zhang Yunyue and Li Da returned to the barbecue restaurant.

While his second brother was still busy at the counter with Qi Zhengfang, Zhang Yunyue walked around the lobby and greeted the guests.

Li Da stood beside the counter and looked around.

After noon, there were fewer customers in the store.

Zhang Yunyue went to the kitchen, where people were washing dishes and vegetables.

I looked again to see how much vegetables and meat were left in the kitchen.

Tell the chef to prepare all the meat and vegetables in the afternoon, otherwise there won’t be enough for the barbecue in the afternoon and evening.

Until the evening, the restaurant's seats remained about half full.

As soon as the You hour arrived, the store was full again in a short while, and the customers who came in later were led by the waiter to the second floor to sit down.

There are more customers here than at noon.

Zhang Yunyue listened from the side and found that many people came here after hearing the introductions from people around them.

"How was it? I had a meal here at noon. The taste was simply amazing. You'll know when you eat it. It was definitely worth the trip."

"Okay, have some. After all, you've eaten here at noon, so you know which ones are delicious."

"Okay, I'll have some."

"The environment here is really nice. I'd like to meet up with a few friends to have a barbecue and drink some wine. Wouldn't that be satisfying?" Then he waved to the waiter in the store and said, "Waiter, order some food."

"Okay, wait a moment, sir."

"I want these vegetables and meats. Your chef can just roast them and serve them to us. Also, give us a pot of good wine."

"Okay, guests, please wait a moment. The barbecue and wine will be served soon."

"The smell coming out is so fragrant."

"Dear guests, your barbecue and wine are ready. Please enjoy your meal and call us if you need anything." After saying that, the waiter put down the food and left.

At this moment, there was another round of noise in the lobby.

"This barbecue to go with the wine is much more delicious than those side dishes, right?" a guest said to someone next to him.

"Yes, it's much better than peanuts and other snacks. We can come back later. I just checked and the price is not very expensive."

"Hahaha, let's do it again next time. Come on, let's drink some wine and have a try."

"..."

The barbecue restaurant was open until the hour of Hai, and then the customers left the restaurant one after another.

Zhang Yunyue watched Zhang Xinghao and Qi Zhengfang count today's income. When they both finished counting, today's income was about 115 taels. After deducting today's cost, the profit was about 70 taels.

The employees in the store are cleaning up.

After everything was cleaned up, Qi Zhengfang took out the red envelopes he had prepared in advance and gave one to everyone.

The employees and chefs happily left work and went home with their red envelopes. Along the way, they were still discussing how generous the boss was.

The employees left.

Zhang Yunyue and the other two also said something to Qi Zhengfang and returned to Yunyue Lane.

On the way back, I met Zhang Xingyun and Li Hai who were also going home.

"Brother, Brother Hai, how is the hot pot restaurant business tonight?"

Zhang Xingyun smiled and said, "The hot pot restaurant is having a great start today. The business at night is even better than when it was open during the day. How's your business?"

"Brother, I am here too."

After saying that, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled.

Li Da and Li Hai were also discussing it.

"Dad, I've learned a lot today. The customers in that store keep coming in waves. They never stop coming."

"Yeah, I was the same at the barbecue restaurant. Ah Hai, you should follow Yueyue and the others carefully in the future. Today I finally understand what your grandfather said."

"Of course, I've thought about it. I admire Yueyue and her two siblings more and more. Xiaoyun and I are obviously not much different, but Xiaoyun, Xiaohao and Yueyue can already do so many things."

Li Da also sighed: "Yes."

As the group chatted, they arrived at the house in Yunyue Lane.

After Butler Liu opened the door for them, they went to the main room.

Zhang Chao and Li He were already waiting for them in the main hall. The food shop closed much earlier than the other two shops at night.

Zhang Yunyue and the others walked into the main room and sat down: "Finally you're back."

Zhang Chao poured a pot of tea for everyone.

Everyone started talking about today's opening.

Zhang Yunyue: "Brother, Brother Xiaochao, how is your store's revenue today, and what is the approximate profit?"

Zhang Xingyun: "The hot pot restaurant earned 132 taels today. After deducting today's costs, the profit is about 80 taels."

Zhang Chao: "The food shop's revenue today is 80 taels. After deducting the cost, the profit is about 50 taels. The majority of the profit comes from the chili oil and crispy whistles in the window. These two items have been praised and liked by most people today."

"The barbecue restaurant is also doing well today, with a profit of around seventy taels."

After hearing this, everyone didn't expect that the profit of the three shops would reach two hundred taels a day.
