Chapter 90: Increased Orders for Wanhe Restaurant in Dushui County
Manager Yao added, "Hurry up and take Tang to settle the accounts. I heard from Old Lu that the manager wants to discuss something with you two."
The shopkeeper wants to discuss something with the father and daughter.
Shen Xiaotang and her father exchanged a glance, and they already had a vague idea of what was going on.
After settling accounts with Accountant Lu, the father and daughter went upstairs together to meet Manager Su.
Manager Su couldn't hide his smile. As soon as he saw them, he immediately gestured for them to sit down.
"Brother Qingchuan, Xiaotang, please have a seat."
Shen Xiaotang didn't stand on ceremony and immediately found a seat, while her father seemed a little awkward.
"I mentioned to you a while ago that if our Yunlai Restaurant's braised pig's trotters sell well, I would agree to let you supply braised pig's trotters to another restaurant in Dushui County. Let's make a deal today. From now on, Yunlai Restaurant will supply twenty trotters a day, and Wanhe Restaurant in Dushui County will supply twice as many. Half of them will be spicy and the other half will be spiced with garlic. How about that?"
OMG!
Double?
Wouldn't that mean Wanhe Restaurant would be serving forty sticks a day?
Twenty from the town, forty from the county, that makes a total of sixty!
The restaurant charges them fifty coins for each braised pig's trotter, and they can earn about half of that, which is twenty-five coins. So, if they are paid three taels of silver a day, their profit would be one and a half taels.
Can you earn one and a half taels of silver a day?
Not only was Shen Qingchuan stunned, but even Shen Xiaotang was dumbfounded!
She had considered that Manager Su would ask the restaurants in the county to add braised pig's trotters to their menus and to supply them, but she did not expect that Manager Su would directly ask Wanhe Restaurant to double the price.
What is this concept?
They're really going to make a fortune this time!
The net profit per day is one and a half taels of silver, and per month it is forty-five taels.
Perhaps, before long, their family will be able to buy a small house in town!
Shen Qingchuan couldn't calculate such a complicated amount of money, but he knew that he would earn three times as much in the future.
The father and daughter were overjoyed, and Manager Su couldn't stop smiling.
The three of them were all happy, and none of them had to laugh at the others.
Seeing that the father and daughter were so happy that they forgot to give him a proper answer, Manager Su immediately reminded them.
"You two shouldn't just be so happy. There are two restaurants, one supplying twenty sticks a day and the other forty sticks a day. Can you supply them? Can you make that many at once? If not, you might as well come to the restaurant and have them made. We have chefs and waiters here who can help."
joke.
Nowadays, the whole family relies on braised pig's trotters to make a living. If they were to make it fresh in a restaurant, wouldn't the chefs see the secret recipe?
If everyone can make it, will her braised pig's trotters still be valuable?
Even if it's valuable, it's not her place to earn it!
She really couldn't ask anyone for help with this.
However, it does take a long time to braise sixty pig trotters, even though they have bought a large pot, they still need to braise several batches.
If I wait until I get home in the evening to braise it, it will definitely be too late. The only thing I can do now is to rent a house in town as soon as possible.
Now that I have money in hand and daily income, renting a house is not difficult!
Sun Xiaotang immediately replied, "We can do it, we definitely can. Manager Su, don't worry. As long as we've agreed on something, we will definitely not break the agreement and stand up our restaurant. We guarantee that our restaurant will have fresh pig's trotters to sell every day."
Shen Qingchuan, who was standing to the side, had also taken this into consideration.
We can braise 60 pig trotters a day. The order volume is a bit too large, and we can't finish braising them all in one night!
Seeing how readily his daughter agreed, he felt a little worried and pulled her aside.
"Tang'er, sixty pig trotters will take several pots to braise, and each pot will take an hour and a half. We'll be braising from night until dawn when we get home from town. Even with two pots working non-stop all night, we might not be able to finish. Don't boast to Manager Su. If we can't make it and it delays the restaurant's business, how can we cooperate in the future?"
Sun Xiaotang thought to herself, "My silly dad!"
In the past, when there were fewer orders, it was possible to go from town to county to buy pig trotters, then back to town, and finally home. But now that there are more orders and more money to be made, why bother with all that trouble?
Rent a place, and all your problems will be solved, right?
Moreover, by the time the braised pig trotters are delivered from Guihua Village to the town, the restaurants have already started operating. By the time the pig trotters are transported to Wanhe Restaurant in Dushui County, it will be noon. Wouldn't that delay the restaurants in the county from selling braised pig trotters?
If you sell less for half a day, you'll earn less money for half a day!
You have to rent a place in town!
"Father, don't worry. Didn't we agree before that if we had some money, we would rent a house in town? Now we have several taels of silver. Renting a house for a month won't cost much. We've earned so much, so we shouldn't be stingy with a few coins and delay the supply of goods. We must not lose more than we gain."
Shen Qingchuan suddenly realized.
Yes, the whole family could rent a place so they wouldn't have to travel back and forth so often.
Moreover, if you rent a house, you can deliver the braised pig's trotters in batches. First, send the ones to Dushui County, and as for the ones to Yunlai Restaurant, send them in two batches, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This is convenient and saves time!
"Alright, let's rent a house. We'll ask around today where there are houses to rent in this town."
Although the father and daughter lowered their voices slightly, Manager Su, who was close by, could still hear them clearly.
Shopkeeper Su raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You want to rent a house in this town?"
Shen Xiaotang turned to Manager Su and smiled slightly, "Yes, we have to go to the county to buy fresh pig trotters every day, and then go back to Guihua Village to braise them. We do this every day, which takes a lot of time on the road. So we thought we could rent a house in the town so that we can deliver them as soon as we finish making them, and deliver them from Qinghe Town to Dushui County as quickly as possible, without delaying the restaurants in Dushui County from selling braised pig trotters."
After listening, Manager Su nodded in understanding.
Understood!
However, as far as he knew, apart from the shops that could be rented, all the other houses in the town were for sale, and he had never heard of renting a house.
I don't know how this father and daughter came up with the idea of renting a house to live in.
He thought for a moment and said, “You don’t need to find a broker. As far as I know, only shops in this town are rented out. Houses are sold on a cash-on-delivery basis unless you buy them directly.”
Buy directly?
They don't have enough money right now, they're way short. What are they going to do?
Shen Xiaotang was too blindly confident before, thinking that she could rent a house to live in whether it was ancient or modern times, but she never thought that there were still differences.
Shen Qingchuan panicked. If they couldn't rent a house to live in, they wouldn't be able to handle such a large order.
The mind is full but the strength is not enough!
"Tang'er, how about we stop taking the order from the restaurant in Dushui County for now?"
Are you turning down such a big order?
With such a windfall right in front of you, why not take it?
Backing down in the face of adversity is not Shen Xiaotang's style!
"Dad, don't worry, let me think of a way, there must be a way!"
