Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate - Chapter 59
After a while, Xie Chen had already finished the calculations, and summarized all the accounts and listed them there so that people can understand them at a glance.
Jiang Yunzhu took over his accounts, not bad, he made this account, which already has the meaning of a modern report.
But she didn’t know that Xie Chen wrote it like this because he was afraid that she wouldn’t understand it.
At noon today, two people deposited fifty taels of silver, and seven deposited ten taels of silver, which is one hundred and seventy taels of silver. The money belonged to Jiang Yunzhu, but it didn’t belong to her completely.
But Jiang Yunzhu is already very satisfied, at least with the working capital in the store, she doesn’t have to be timid about what to do.
In addition, I made a net profit of two taels of silver at noon.
This should be due to the delay of the opening of the restaurant. When the lion dance team made a fuss, everyone saw the freshness, so they wanted to come in and try it.
It is estimated that there will not be so many guests at night.
Just as Jiang Yunzhu thought, there were a lot fewer guests at night.
The next day there were suddenly more guests, some were invited by friends to try something new, and some brought their families to eat.
On the third day, there were a lot fewer customers.
On the fourth day, the customers stabilized, Xie Chen came to settle the account, and found that he had earned two or three taels of silver that day.
Two or three dollars a day, nearly seventy taels a month, this income is already considerable.
But the premise is that this business can be done well.
In the past two days, Jiang Yunzhu really asked someone about Baofulou. This restaurant has been open in Wuling County for more than 30 years, and the owner’s surname is Song. Five years ago, the old owner handed over the store to his two sons, and they went to take care of themselves.
The eldest son of the Song family was obviously more capable than the second son, so he dismissed the old shopkeeper and became the shopkeeper himself, taking care of all the big and small things in the shop.
In the past four years, three restaurants have been opened in the county, but each of them closed down after operating for more than half a year at the longest.
In the first restaurant, rat heads were eaten in the food, so disgusting that everyone never went to that restaurant again.
The second one, the owner is a foreigner, and there are always arresters coming to his shop to inquire about various things. The disturbed customers can’t eat well, and the business is naturally not good. Later, he closed the door and left in a fit of anger.
The third is the Yunhe Tower where Xue Jing and the others work. This one is outrageous. The wife of the owner of the shop ran away with someone else. There are rumors in the shop every day, saying that he is actually an **** who can’t satisfy his wife at all. I often stare at the female customers in the store to see Yunyun.
The store owner was exhausted and closed the door.
After listening to Jiang Yunzhu, she felt that she understood what Xue Jing meant when Bao Fu Lou was not clean. It is normal for a restaurant to close down, but in the past four years, all the restaurants that competed with Bao Fu Lou for business have closed down, which is a bit unreasonable up.
She secretly became wary.
At this time, Baofulou asked, “Why is this month’s dividend so much less?” Song Laoer patted the table and said angrily.
Shopkeeper Song was settling accounts, and raised his head when he heard the words, “There is a new Qishanju in the county. In the past few days, the running water in our store has decreased by 30%.”
“It’s only been open for a few days, so it has such a big impact!” Song Laoer knew about the Qishanju, and he actually went to eat there.
The reputation of that store has spread, saying that it is the favorite store of scholars in the county. Scholars, everything is inferior, only reading is high, and what they praise must be unusual.
Sure enough, after he went there, he found that the environment there was really good, and the dishes were well prepared. Tsk, the boss is even more beautiful.
When I think of the food made by such a beautiful girl, I feel that the food is even more delicious.
“What do you know, everything is expensive now, and the store doesn’t make money in the first place.” Shopkeeper Song said. In fact, this month’s income is not so small, but Song Laoer doesn’t do anything, so why should he give him the money?
Thinking of this, he felt annoyed. Why did his father give birth to Song’s second child? If he was the only one, everything would belong to him now. I don’t know how happy it is.
When he thought this way, he seemed to forget that he already had three sons, and now that his concubine was pregnant again, he still hoped that she would give birth to a son.
“I don’t understand? What I don’t understand, you just don’t want to give me money. I’m leaving the word here today, or give me the money of last month, or I will go to my father. It was agreed at the beginning, Half of the restaurant’s family, you manage it yourself, what’s the matter if you don’t let me intervene?
Do not make money? Then you let me be the shopkeeper and guarantee to make money. “Song Lao Er sat there, looking like a rascal.
Shopkeeper Song smiled. If you want money, you can, but you can’t do it.
It was lunch time again, and Xue Jing had already handed over the affairs of the village to Tan Debao very quickly, and came to the store to report. He has studied with Jiang Yunzhu for so long, so he can be regarded as her good helper.
When he came, Jiang Yunzhu was much more relaxed, and he could take a break in the middle to look at the people in the store.
She found that there were three tables of female customers in the store today, and they were all well-dressed girls in their teens.
The seats in Qishanju are a bit like modern booths, each table is comfortable and has a certain degree of privacy, and female guests can also feel at ease dining here.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the female guests thoughtfully.
“Our shop is quite famous now. Everyone says our shop is elegant, so naturally these girls are also willing to come.” Mrs. Chen thought she was wondering why there were so many female customers in the shop, and smiled.
Jiang Yunzhu also smiled, it seems that her shop is still developing a lot.
Another new customer group, Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was necessary to develop it.
The first thing she thought of was octopus balls. In fact, when she first saw those octopuses, this kind of snack was what she thought of. Unfortunately, she has been busy these days and has no time to make them.
Don’t do this, it’s a bit troublesome, first get a ball-shaped frying pan. For the rest, she thought about it carefully, but she could overcome it. Octopus **** are also called takoyaki, and they were born very early. At that time, there were no modern seasonings, and they were still delicious.
Then, free to order a frying pan.
With octopus balls, Jiang Yunzhu immediately thought of another thing, milk tea! The main thing is milk. With milk, she can make a series of snacks and drinks to enrich her dishes.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but want to go to the market.
After eating and sleeping for a while, Jiang Yunzhu got up and went out, preparing to go to the market. Living in the county is good, shopping is much more convenient.
“Miss Jiang, go out?” At this moment, a voice said.
When Jiang Yunzhu turned her head, it was Shen Fengming, “Yes.” She said.
“I’ll go with you.” Shen Fengming said.
“I’m going to the market.” Jiang Yunzhu said.
“I happen to be shopping for something, too.”
It turned out to be like this.
Jiang Yunzhu went out first, and Shen Fengming followed beside her. As soon as the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. The man was tall and straight, and the girl was beautiful and graceful. Walking together, the two immediately added a lot of color to this bleak winter.
Jiang Yunzhu looked around as he walked, to see where there was a blacksmith’s shop.
Shen Fengming’s eyes fell on the young couple opposite.
They were a very ordinary young couple. The man was not handsome, but he had straight eyebrows, and the woman was pretty. They were holding hands, talking and laughing as they walked.
The young couple walked over quickly, Shen Fengming lowered his eyes and saw Jiang Yunzhu’s hand hanging on the right. The winter clothes are wide and the sleeves are a little longer, and only a part of her hands are exposed, which are plump and fair.
He moved his hand, but suddenly clenched his fist.
At this time, Jiang Yunzhu saw a blacksmith’s shop on the street on the left, and immediately walked over happily.
“Boss?” Jiang Yunzhu asked. This blacksmith’s shop is not big, and there is only one person in it, a strong and strong man.
The man was blacksmithing, he raised his head when he heard the words, and said enthusiastically, “Whatever you want to buy, girl, just look around, it’s all cheap.”
“I want to order a pot, can you do it here?” Jiang Yunzhu asked.
“What pot, let me tell you, girl.”
Jiang Yunzhu told the man what the pot looked like, and the man frowned after listening, “It’s a bit troublesome.”
This pot is not big, but it has to make semicircular grooves the size of plums, which have to be polished one by one by hand. If you are not careful, it may be broken, which is not a trouble.
Jiang Yunzhu also knew that it was not easy to make, so she settled for the next best thing, “You can also make a few less grooves for each pot, and then make two more pots.”
The man smiled, “That’s fine.”
“Can you hurry up?” Jiang Yunzhu asked, she was afraid that if it was too late, those octopuses would be sold out.
Of course you can, just add money.
The addition was not too much, and Jiang Yunzhu agreed without thinking about it.
The two discussed the price and delivery time, and Jiang Yunzhu turned and left.
Then it’s time to buy milk.
This is a matter of luck, and it depends on whether there are any cows in the place where the livestock are sold that happen to have calves.
Jiang Yunzhu was very lucky today, and happened to meet a guy who wanted to sell a calf, and the big cow was right next to him.
But the seller was negotiating with the buyer, so she waited.
In the end, the deal was not negotiated, and the buyer thought the calf was too small. Of course, the main reason is that the price did not agree.
“Miss, you?” The man who sold the cow asked Jiang Yunzhu hesitantly. He didn’t think Jiang Yunzhu wanted to buy a cow.
Jiang Yunzhu said her thoughts, she wanted to buy milk.
“This…” The man is from the village below, I have never heard that this milk can be sold.
“I’m the owner of a restaurant in the county, and I want to get some milk to research new dishes.” Jiang Yunzhu said.
When she said this, the cattle seller understood a little bit.
In the end, the two negotiated the price, and the cow seller sent her the milk to Qishanju every day.
The cow was not sold, but the milk was sold. The man who sold the cow couldn’t laugh or cry.
But the price Jiang Yunzhu gave was really good, who has a grudge against money!
The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu received half a bucket of milk.
“There are only so many. According to what you said, they are all newly crowded in the morning.” The man selling cattle said.
Jiang Yunzhu shook the small bucket, and it turned out to be fresh milk. She was so happy that she gave the money immediately.
The man took the money and looked at it again and again, only to be sure that the milk was really sold for money, and left happily.
What to do with milk? Milk tea, early in the morning, is not suitable, besides, Jiang Yunzhu thinks that after the octopus **** are ready, they should be served with milk tea!
So now… She suddenly thought of something, which was just right for breakfast.
She was going to carry the bucket to the kitchen, but at this moment, one hand picked up the bucket, “I’ll do it!” It was Shen Fengming.
“Let me do it.” Jiang Yunzhu said, and as she spoke, she reached out to grab the bucket.
Shen Fengming looked at her with the bucket in his hand.
Jiang Yunzhu inexplicably thought of catching the rabbit that time, and she caught his hand, so she stopped in mid-air.
“Miss Jiang, you have always been so polite to me.” Shen Fengming said suddenly.
Jiang Yunzhu was stunned, are you polite? Maybe, when she thought of his identity, she couldn’t help but want to distance herself.
“You take care of me, but I don’t know how to repay you.”
“Yes, there is no need to repay.”
“But I want to repay you.”
Jiang Yunzhu raised her head and looked at Shen Fengming, his eyes were as deep as the sea.
“Whatever you want, or what you want me to do, as long as I can do it, it’s fine.” Shen Fengming said word by word.
Then every word, like waves rushing towards Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Yunzhu jumped up anxiously, is it okay? What does she want, or let him do anything?
She just looked at him like that, forgetting to look away.
The eyes of the two were intertwined, Shen Fengming suddenly took a step forward, and a tall figure enveloped Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu wanted to take a step back, but found that there was a wall behind him.
She felt a little short of breath, in order to ease the situation, she turned her head away, revealing a long fair and slender neck.
Shen Fengming’s eyes were immediately attracted by that whiteness. He has killed countless people, knowing how fragile that delicate place is, but he doesn’t know that that place can be so soft and beautiful.
“Sister, are you in the shop?” Jiang Yunxue’s voice.
Not all Jiang’s family lives in the county now. Jiang Cheng has to drag his feet, opening and closing the city gate every day affects his business, so he lives in the village. Mr. Chen felt that the houses in the village were spacious, so he also lived in the village.
Mrs. Chen lives in the county seat, but she is worried about Jiang Cheng, Mr. Chen, and some family matters, so she is sometimes in the county seat and sometimes at home.
Xue Jing came yesterday, the shop was not so busy, she went back to the village, so only Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Lin, and Shen Fengming were left at home.
Jiang Yunxue got up and wanted to ask Jiang Yunzhu what breakfast she made in the morning, but she couldn’t find anyone, so she stood in the yard and called.
“Here!” Jiang Yunzhu returned, turned and walked towards the backyard.
“Miss Jiang, what I said just now is serious.” Behind him, Shen Fengming said.
Jiang Yunzhu’s heart jumped again, he was serious! The weight of his words is not insignificant.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, gold, real estate…
But slowly, she also calmed down. In fact, she really didn’t do anything, she just took care of him for a few days. Although people said that, if she made excessive demands…
Forget it, she has opened a restaurant now, and if she works harder, she will soon live the life she wants.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yunzhu’s heart returned to calm, and a smile appeared on her face again.
People’s hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, so dangerous, so dangerous!
“Sister, what do we have for breakfast? I’ll help you.” Jiang Yunxue said.
“Eat…” Jiang Yunzhu remembered that her bucket was still with Shen Fengming.
At this time, Shen Fengming came out carrying a bucket, “Miss Jiang.” He said.
“You put it in the kitchen for me?” Jiang Yunzhu thought, maybe if Shen Fengming could do some work, he wouldn’t feel indebted to her.
“En.” Shen Fengming agreed, and put the bucket in the kitchen.
“What is this?” Jiang Yunxue looked at the contents in the bucket curiously. It was white and seemed to have some fishy smell, a bit like…
“Milk.” Jiang Yunzhu smiled.
“Milk.” Jiang Yunxue opened her eyes wide. Isn’t this stuff eaten by calves?
“You’ll find out later,” Jiang Yunzhu said.
“Sister, are you going to cook delicious food?” Jiang Lin came to the kitchen at some point and asked Jiang Yunzhu excitedly.
“Go and wash your face, and then help me light the fire.” Jiang Yunzhu only said.
“Okay!” Jiang Lin ran away in a hurry, came back quickly, and lit the stove.
Jiang Yunxue also helped, and after a while, Jiang Wu also came, and the kitchen immediately became lively.
He took some milk and poured it into the pot, and while it was cooking, Jiang Yunzhu rummaged in the cabinet, and sure enough, he found the red beans left over from yesterday’s cooking. These red beans are cooked, so that’s easy now.
Pour the starch and glutinous rice flour into the water in a certain proportion, and stir well.
Prepare another iron plate and brush a layer of cooking oil inside.
At this time, the milk starts to bubble, slowly pour the starch glutinous rice water into the milk, keep stirring and add sugar.
The milk is getting thicker. At this time, add the red beans.
After stirring for a while, I felt that it was almost done, so I poured the milk into the iron plate and put it outside to cool.
The weather is still very cold now, and within a short while, the things in the iron pan condensed into milky white lumps.
Take this thing out of the iron plate, cut it into small pieces with a knife, put it on the plate, and a plate of milk red bean cake is ready.
The color of the finished product is milky white, with red beans looming underneath.
“Try it.” Jiang Yunzhu said.
Jiang Lin and the others couldn’t bear it anymore, since the white sugar was added, this thing exudes a sweet smell, which makes the mouth water.
But they still said, “Sister, you can eat too.”
Jiang Yunzhu made it, so Jiang Yunzhu should eat it first.
Jiang Yunzhu picked up the chopsticks, but saw that Shen Fengming was still there, so she asked, “Mr. Shen, do you want to try it?”
“Okay.” Shen Fengming said.
Jiang Yunzhu paused, and handed him the cake in his hand.
Shen Fengming washed his hands, caught it with his hand, and put it in his mouth.
“How?” Jiang Yunzhu asked, she knew that some nobles in the Xia Dynasty actually used milk for food, so this milk red bean cake might not be unusual to Shen Fengming.
“It’s a little sweet, delicious.” Shen Fengming said, and then put the remaining half of the cake into his mouth, his eyes streaming.
“It’s delicious, sister, eat it quickly.” Jiang Wu held up a cake and said to Jiang Yunzhu.
“You can eat, there are more here.” Jiang Yunzhu put another piece of cake in his mouth, because sugar was added and it was cooked again, this cake has no fishy smell at all, and there is a faint milky fragrance left, which is paired with the red bean The sweet fragrance is really delicious.
And the taste of this cake is also good, delicate and soft.
She decided to add this dish to the menu at noon, it would be a hit.
