Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 358: Banchengxian Opening

It would be better for her to follow me and work for my cousin. After all, her boss is the county lady and she is my cousin, so she will definitely make a name for herself.

It's better than doing chores for my eldest brother's family at home.

The two brothers left home to make a living. The eldest brother and his wife were very happy, but their parents felt guilty. However, they could not say anything to the two brothers as they held their eldest nephew in their arms.

Xiao Erxi didn't blame his parents, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. If he made money in the future, he would naturally take care of his parents, but his relationship with his elder brother and sister-in-law would remain like this for the rest of his life.

Xiao Sanxi knew that his brother was taking him out to work, and he was willing to do so. He was raised by his second brother since he was a child, so he had a very close relationship with his second brother.

As for Zhao Dayong and several other brothers in the clan, they were all hardworking and diligent in their work, which temporarily strengthened Xiao Wan's manpower.

The waiter who came back from the restaurant in front was naturally overjoyed when he saw that the boss offered him twice as much wages as before.

Some of these people were kind-hearted. Knowing that this was a job opportunity that Boss Wang had helped them to secure, they were very grateful. So on the day Boss Wang and his family left, they pooled some money and bought some practical things to see Boss Wang off.

Boss Wang and his family sat in the carriage, gradually moving away from a few people. He felt very emotional, and was very happy that someone could remember the good deeds he had done.

He looked at his old wife with a sad face, and his son who was looking at himself in fear because of the leg he had broken. He shook his head and did not comfort his old wife any more.

His son is useless, so he can only raise his grandson from now on. In the future, he will definitely return to Yuntai Town to continue his restaurant business.

Xiao Wan and Aunt Zhang were making hot pot base in their own kitchen. Xiao Wan was not afraid of making too much, because she was confident in her business, and secondly, the hot pot base could be stored in a certain amount, so she didn't have to worry about making too much.

Chen Youli paid someone to calculate a good date, and ten days later was February 22nd, a good day, so he opened the business on that day.

When the restaurant opened, nearby restaurants sent gifts one after another, and the county magistrate also sent people to send gifts. The hot pot restaurant "Banchengxian" opened in such a prosperous manner.

Within a few days, the people of Yuntai Town were all fascinated by hot pot, and even the wealthy people of Jiyun City came to Yuntai Town to try it.

Pick up a large chopstick of thin mutton rolls, put them into the boiling spicy pot, dip them for a while, take them out and dip them in the sesame sauce bowl.

The rich and fragrant aroma of sesame paste paired with the spicy and delicious lamb slices makes you feel extremely satisfied when you put them in your mouth. It is a pleasant enjoyment for both your body and mind.

It is really delicious. On a cold day with snowflakes floating outside, you can sit in a restaurant, eat hot pot, look at the snow scene, and chat with a few good friends. When you get tired of it, you can have a big pot of sour plum soup. It is simply a wonderful enjoyment.

Many ladies also like to eat hot pot in the restaurant. Considering their inconvenience in entering and exiting, Xiao Wan opened a door leading to the second floor from the back door so that they don’t have to pass through the lobby.

The ladies said that the county lady was really considerate. Most of them preferred spicy and tomato hotpots. The sour and sweet tomatoes dipped in the chewy and delicious fish and shrimp balls made the female customers love it.

The tomatoes in Xiao Wan's space were growing rapidly, so she found an excuse to move the tomatoes out.

I built a greenhouse in my backyard to grow tomatoes. The roof and entrance of the greenhouse were covered with a thin, transparent oil-based cloth.

In order to allow the vegetables to get more sunlight, the temperature in the greenhouse is very high, which is equivalent to modern off-season vegetable cultivation.

Tomatoes are her biggest killer. Xiao Wan hasn't figured out how to expand the planting yet, so she is currently supplying Yuntai Town.

The ingredients in Xiao Wan's store, especially fish balls, shrimp balls and some out-of-season vegetables, are sold at extremely high prices.

Because it is so difficult to fish and catch shrimps in winter, a plate of fish balls or shrimp balls costs two taels of silver.

Even so, it still can't stop people who like them from placing orders in an endless stream.

The hot pot restaurant was packed every day, and the waiters and Manager Chen were so tired that they fell asleep every day. Especially Manager Chen, who also worked as the accountant, it was very hard. Xiao Wan saw it and knew that everyone was very dedicated.

Banchengxian had been open for half a month. After Xiao Wan and Manager Chen checked the accounts, they found that after deducting the costs of labor and ingredients, they had made a net profit of nearly 10,000 taels of silver in just half a month.

Chen Youli and Xiao Wan looked at each other. Xiao Wan was also a little shocked. She knew that hot pot made money, but she didn't expect the profit to be so high.

However, this did make back all the money spent on buying the restaurant. Although Xiao Wan was shocked, she was still extremely happy.
