Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

In the kitchen at the back of the building, Cheng Wan and Deng Xiong each had a meat bun and ate it deliciously. On the table next to them were two multi-grain pancakes and two bowls of sweet tofu.

"My boss." Yanqiu hurried over with two small plates, "My boss, there are also sauce pancakes here. What else do you want to eat? I'll go ahead and get them for you."

Cheng Wan swallowed the Roujiamo in his mouth and shook his head, "One Roujiamo and a bowl of tofu are enough for me. Third brother, finish the rest. If you don't have enough, go to Qiantou and Grandma Zhang." They want it.”

Deng Xiong nodded. After staying in the Cheng family for so long, he personally felt that the Cheng family treated him as one of their own. Naturally, he would not be hypocritical on such an issue.

Cheng Wan looked at Guihua and the others who were busy in the kitchen and asked, "Are there still many customers in the past two days?"

Guihua washed the dishes quickly and laughed heartily, "Master, the snacks and hot pot in our casual building are very popular. Many customers come every day, especially since it has been snowing these days. The hot pot private room on the second floor is open every day. Full!”

Cheng Wan walked to Osmanthus and reached out to test the water in the sink. It was warm.

Jin Xiang felt warm in her heart when she saw Cheng Wan's movements. She was full of vitality from the inside out, and her voice was sweet, "Master, we all remember what you said, use warm water for washing vegetables and dishes." , Don’t worry, you won’t freeze yourself. And there’s a fire burning in the kitchen stove all the time, so it’s warm.”

"That's fine. You are all girls. You should pay attention to protecting your body. There is a big pot specially used for boiling hot water. Don't be afraid of trouble. It is better to be troublesome now than to freeze your body later."

Lin Pan cut the meat and listened to Cheng Wan's worried words. The smile on his lips deepened and he thought to himself: "I don't know how I can worry so much at such a young age, but it makes my heart warm to hear it."

"A Wan." Cheng Daniu came in from outside, holding two plates of sizzling tofu in his hand, "Your Aunt Feng heard that you and Sanxiong were coming, and made it specially for you two. She said she wanted you two to try it. Watch her Does the sizzling tofu taste better than before?"

Cheng Wan inserted a piece of tofu with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth. His eyes suddenly lit up. "It is indeed more delicious. It must be because the heat is better and better. Third brother, please try it quickly."

After Deng Xiong tasted it, he also gave a positive answer.

After saying hello to the other people in the kitchen, Cheng Wan and Deng Xiong followed Cheng Daniu to the small cubicle in the kitchen with their own meals.

"Dad, have you ordered tofu in the past two days?"

Cheng Daniu wrapped the multi-grain pancakes in oil paper and handed them to Deng Xiong. He first said: "Eat slowly. Eating too fast is not good for your health. I will put the rest on the stove for you to heat it up and it will not cool down."

Then Cheng Daniu looked at Cheng Wan and said with a smile: "Yes! How can we not! That boss Jiang from Jixiang Building just sent someone to take away fifty kilograms of old tofu and twenty kilograms of soft tofu this morning. In the past few days, the city has There are several restaurants, restaurants, and many small vendors who want to buy tofu from us, and even..."

Cheng Daniu coughed and lowered his voice, "There was even a brothel steward who came to Sui Lou yesterday and wanted to buy tofu."

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the promotion of tofu was quite successful. "Add these together, how many kilograms of orders can we get every day?"

Cheng Daniu opened the drawer on the side, took out a cut book from it, opened it and looked at it, "Old tofu weighs one thousand five hundred kilograms, and young tofu weighs seven hundred and sixty kilograms."

One thousand five hundred kilograms of old tofu can be sold for four taels and five taels of silver. Seven hundred and sixty kilograms of tender tofu can be sold for one to two five cents of silver and twenty copper plates. Added together, the total is six taels of silver and twenty copper plates.

Generally, one pound of beans can produce three pounds of old tofu and five pounds of tender tofu.

According to the order that Cheng Daniu has recorded so far, it takes about 652 kilograms of beans a day, and one kilogram of beans costs four cents, which is two or two six cents of silver and eight copper coins.

The pricing of tofu is certainly not static. If the price of beans increases in the future, the price of tofu will also increase.

In general, excluding beans, labor and other costs, according to the current order, you can make a net profit of about three taels of silver a day.

Compared with the income of dozens of taels a day at Suilou, the three taels of silver are not enough, but the orders will continue to increase. As tofu continues to spread, more people will gradually accept tofu and slowly regard tofu as a As a home-cooked dish, the demand for tofu will see explosive growth.

After all, they can't afford meat, but ordinary people can still afford tofu that costs a few copper coins a pound.

The most important thing is that if the tofu shop is built, Cheng Wanhui and Cheng Daniu will share the profit from the tofu shop, so that Cheng Daniu, Cheng Erniu and Li Sanzhu can earn more.

Cheng Wan quickly finished the calculation and was sure that the tofu shop business could be done.

"But Ah Wan, these orders together are a bit large. The chef at Suilou cannot make so much tofu, so for the time being I only took orders from Jixianglou, Shangshifang and one vendor. Shangshifang and that vendor respectively. They were the second and third people who came to buy tofu, and I told them to wait a moment for the others, and I would have someone tell them when the tofu would be ready."

Cheng Wan nodded, "First come, first served. Whoever comes first will take the order first. Dad, you did the right thing."

"Dad, when the snow stops and melts, if conditions permit, I will build a tofu shop in Pingnan Village. Then you, your second uncle, and your younger uncle will manage the tofu shop, and I will give you a share."

"I provided the idea and the money for building the tofu shop, and I get 50% of the profit. Dad, you are in charge of this stall, and you get 20% of the profit. The second uncle and the little uncle each get 15% of the profit. Dad, please go back and ask the second uncle and the little uncle. , would they rather work in a random building and receive wages, or would they rather manage a tofu shop and receive a share of the profits?"

"In addition, Grandma Zhang and the others are too busy, and Guihua and the others in the back kitchen are also too busy. I plan to recruit fifteen more people to work in the free building, one more person at each window, and the remaining three people will be added to the back kitchen, otherwise If this goes on for a long time, Grandma Zhang and the others will be exhausted and go into trouble."

"By the way, dad, you can usually tell the owners of the restaurants and bars where you come to buy tofu that we also sell our snack sauces and hot pot bases to see if they are willing to buy them."

The Suiyi Building is only so big and can only receive a limited number of customers every day. Cheng Wan has no plans to open a branch in Shuoyang City. The Suiyi Building alone cannot capture the market in Shuoyang City.

Cheng Daniu was shocked by this series of news. He nodded blankly, "Yes, that boss Jiang came yesterday and asked if our hot pot base was for sale? You didn't tell me in advance, so I just I didn’t dare to agree to him, I just said that I would think about it and then reply to him.”
