Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 224

How much money can I earn if I sell this to other places? !

She looked at Zhong Ruyi with bright eyes, "Ruyi, you said you planted these melons yourself? How many did you plant? Our Yu family took care of them all!"

Is it such a big deal right out of the gate?

Zhong Ruyi also wanted to.

But now, those families in the village who planted less have basically picked all the fruits, and only her family has some left. But if all of them are given to the Yu family, what will the rest of the people do?

She shook her head apologetically. "I'm really sorry, Madam Yu, we didn't grow much. We've already agreed to give it to Manxianglou, Shiwei Pavilion and the Fang family."

Madam Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, "The Fang family also has it?"

"Yes, they came to the village to find me half a month ago. At that time, there were still surplus water melons, so I made this deal with them."

She sighed, "It's because we didn't plant enough. After all, none of them survived before. If they do survive this time, what should we do if we plant too much and no one wants them?"

Mrs. Yu looked very disappointed. "How can such a good thing not be sold? If you have it now, I will ask someone to sell it somewhere else, and it will definitely be sold out!"

Zhong Ruyi blinked. In fact, she still had a lot of them in her space, but she just had no reason to take them out.

"You can only wait until next year, Madam Yu. If you want it next year, I will keep it for you." Zhong Ruyi gave her a verbal promise.

Madam Yu curled her lips and said, "So I don't have a chance this year?"

Alas, the Yu family actually failed to seize this great opportunity to make money. It was a pity that their eldest grandson kept clamoring to come and see his sister Ruyi, but in the end she didn't even know about such a big thing as the water melon.

What a failure.

Although the water melons cannot be sold this year, she is committed to trying to please the Fang family.

"You don't know, this Fang family is a profiteer. They sell things worth one penny for twenty pennies!"

Zhong Ruyi was surprised, "It's so expensive?"

"Isn't it? That's why my business has always been better than his. They also say that his family is elegant and mine is common." Madam Yu said, sneering twice, "Isn't he just a profiteer? How can he flatter himself?"

Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Zhong Ruyi handed her a piece of watermelon at the right time.

By the time the watermelon was served, Yu Yunhe had already eaten so much that he could hardly lift his head.

Realizing that she was too excited, Mrs. Yu cleared her throat and turned to talk about something else, "...By the way, I think the pork jerky and pork floss you made are delicious. I want to order 100 jars of pork jerky and 50 jars of pork floss from you."

In fact, this was the real purpose of her coming. She had already finished the can of pork jerky and meat floss that Zhong Ruyi gave her. She didn't think about this at first. She asked the cook to make it when she wanted to eat it, but they couldn't make it.

They said there were several spices in it that they couldn’t tell what they were, and that it must be a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation.

Now she became interested, and immediately sent someone out to see if there was any other place selling this besides Zhong Ruyi's restaurant.

The answer is of course no. Since it’s not available anywhere else, can she sell this?

So when her grandson was making a lot of noise, she said she would take him out for a walk.

Actually, I came here just for the pork jerky and meat floss.

Before Zhong Ruyi could react, Sun Tao screamed in shock, his face full of fear.

Then she reached out and grabbed Zhong Ruyi's sleeve, and it seemed that she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it because Madam Yu was still there.

"One hundred jars of pork jerky and fifty jars of pork floss?" Zhong Ruyi repeated it. It was not that she didn't hear it clearly, but she felt that she was still sleepy.

Thinking of the dozen or so jars of pork jerky and meat floss in the convenience store, she thought she should know which good person ate them for meal.

"Yes, all the items in your store have been bought back by our people." Madam Yu did not notice the trembling in her words and continued, "I thought that since the store is yours, I might as well tell you."

Zhong Ruyi laughed awkwardly. "Madam Yu, may I ask, are you going to give away so much pork jerky and meat floss or eat it yourself?"

Madam Yu looked at her strangely. "Of course I bought so much pork jerky and meat floss to sell somewhere else. Do you think I want to keep it for myself?"

Who can eat this thing as a meal?

Zhong Ruyi never thought of selling the pork jerky and meat floss outside, she didn't have the ability to do so.

But once she has made it, someone will help her sell it, and all she has to do is collect the money. It is also good that she does not have to worry about the source of customers.

"Okay! But you have to give me some time. Pork jerky and meat floss are not that quick to make." Zhong Ruyi hesitated and agreed. Only a fool would not make money.

Mrs. Yu agreed and said that after one month when the 100 jars of pork jerky and 50 jars of meat floss were ready, she would send someone to take them away.

"The price is based on the price in my store."

"Okay, I'll pay half of the deposit first." Madam Yu nodded, and the maid Baoyue who followed behind her immediately took out a purse from her pocket.

Before leaving, Madam Yu had already stepped on the step of the carriage, and suddenly turned back, "Do you still have those melons? If you do, give me two to eat."

Of course Zhong Ruyi would not refuse, so she asked Jiang Qin and Sun Tao to pick out the two biggest ones.

The two watermelons barely made up for her regret that she couldn't sell these juicy watermelons outside this year. She waved her hand, and the carriage set off.

After the carriage drove away, Sun Tao looked conflicted, "Ruyi, can so much meat floss really be made in a month?" There were also a hundred jars of pork jerky, and she felt worried just thinking about it.

Zhong Ruyi didn't take it seriously, "It will take a month to make a few jars a day."

Sun Tao wanted to say something, but her hands couldn't bear it.

However, she didn't have to worry for long, as the job advertisement posted by Zhong Ruyi hired someone.

A woman in her early thirties with a sallow complexion and a reserved look stood in the store.

"I used to work in the kitchen of Shiwei Pavilion, but I quit because I got pregnant. Now that my child is grown up, I want to see if there is anything I can do to help reduce the burden on my family."

Zhong Ruyi just nodded after hearing this and said, "Follow the chef in our store for the next three days and see how she cooks. Make sure you keep your hands and feet clean."

Hearing the words "clean hands and feet", the woman thought it meant not to do anything petty, so she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, I have a good heart and I won't steal anything."

Zhong Ruyi laughed, "I'm not saying that stealing is clean, I'm saying that you must pay attention to hygiene when working in the kitchen. What if the food you cook makes the guests sick? You must wash your hands frequently!"

The woman nodded her head rapidly, "Okay, I will!"

"These three days are a probation period, and you will be paid 40 coins a day. Once you become a regular employee, you will be paid 1.5 taels of silver a month. Of course, if you don't do well in these three days, I'm sorry. I can only say that you have no chance of working in our store."

Once you become a regular employee, it’ll be one and a half taels!

The woman felt dizzy. She was already earning a lot of money at Shiwei Pavilion, one tael of silver a month. She didn't expect that she could find such a good job.

She nodded solemnly, "I will definitely work hard!"
