All-round way to money

"Hey, it really costs money everywhere to decorate such a big place. 50 taels of silver is really not enough." Ever since Chu Ran met Xiao Yu, she didn't know what it means to live life calculatedly. It was when she lived by herself. , with the money left by my parents and earned by myself, life is not too stressful.Good guy, I’m about to renovate the restaurant, only to find out that it costs money everywhere, let’s order a table and chairs, the second one is really not attractive, the better ones are not cheap, and I dare not directly take out the things in the space for use , afraid that Chu Polu would see it.

In the end, she still used the bag of jewelry that the little black rabbit gave her.Of course, it's just a pretext, she's not stupid enough to really take those things as pawns.I just put away two pearls, and took out two layers of pearls of similar size and poor quality in the space, and went to the pawn shop to pawn 100 taels of silver.At any rate, the restaurant has been tidied up in a proper way.The tables, chairs and benches are all bought, and the door curtains and so on are all bought coarse cloth for first use.I also asked the wine shop on the same street to buy two jars of wine and put them on the counter.I also asked a mason to remodel the kitchen. The original three stoves were replaced by five stoves, three large stoves, stewed vegetables and meat for steaming pots, and two small stoves for cooking.I bought three more wooden chopping boards, which are enough.

In the location of Caotan County, the stove is not burned in winter, and the poor will carry it hard. If the conditions are good, they will burn a charcoal basin, and the rich will also have a fire wall or something.Chu Ran changed the back wall next to the kitchen into a fire wall.By the way, the fire for cooking is warmed up.

The pots and kitchen utensils are all custom-made in the blacksmith shop in Xicheng.The tableware, bowls, plates, jugs, etc., were ordered at the china shop.The vats, urns, and jars were designed by Xiao Yu before they came to the county, and they were handed over to the cellar factory in the village. delivered.

To open a business, you have to hire shopkeepers and chefs.In the early stage, Chu Ran could be both the chef and the shopkeeper.But there are too many guests, and it must be too busy.Registered in the dental office, waiting for news from the dental office.

It's only the first month of the month, and there are not many fresh vegetables in the vegetable market.It is radish, cabbage, winter bamboo shoots and tofu. The meat is mainly pork and fish. Because it is close to Qishan Mountain, there are also a lot of game.Domestic mutton and rabbit meat are also sold.

Seasoning is the basics.The oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are all old stores, which are sold in bulk.Send someone to send a letter, and it will be delivered.More than half of the stewed meat ingredients can be bought from drugstores.There are also things like licorice and hawthorn. There are many in the mountains, and it is cheaper to buy them in the village.

While preparing these, I waited for news from the tooth shop.

The tooth movement is very fast, and the human tooth is not a rare job at this time, it can be found everywhere.However, the people in Renyazi's hands, unless they were assigned as slaves, were all illiterate and unskilled.Chu Ran can't afford such a person now.Have to find someone with experience.

After waiting for more than half a month, I looked at several groups of people, but none of them matched.The restaurants are all tidied up.The village also brought all the pottery, and Father Chu came with the delivery truck again, and delivered two pigs and some prey, as well as the fruit vinegar ham that Chu Ran made at home years ago, and the family could not finish it all. If the restaurant can use it, it will save the money to buy it.When I came to see the restaurant, it really looks good.Seeing that the money was not enough, he left a bank note of 100 taels of silver and asked to redeem the beads quickly.Before anyone could be hired, Chu Ran first bought some radishes, pickled two urns of kimchi and put them aside for side dishes.

Yaxing sent two more people, two grandfathers and grandchildren. The grandfather was less than 50 years old and his name was Niu Fu, and the grandson was only thirteen and his name was Niu Song.There are only two grandparents left in the Niu family. Niu Fu used to work as a bookkeeper in a restaurant in Yongzhou Fucheng.The little grandson is also very clever and can be a buddy.Chu Ran chatted with Uncle Niu for a while, then left him behind.Seven hundred cash a month, including food and housing.Eat in the restaurant, live in the cottage in the backyard.Grandpa and grandson live just right.I bought two beds and a wardrobe, and prepared two quilts, and nothing else.

If everything is ready, you can start business.

Chu Ran didn't bother to think about the name of the restaurant, so it was called Yunlai Restaurant.

Before the opening, Xiao Yu was asked to write on the big red paper, as a reward for the opening, when entering the store, they will be given side dishes and stewed pork.Firecrackers with fifty rings were set off, and if there was a sound, it was considered to be open for business.

There are always a lot of people who are greedy for cheap, and when have there been restaurants that give away for free?Those who are giving away for free, and those who are not short of the price of a meal, all go to the store to have a look.

Not enough manpower.The second floor is closed.Only open in the lobby on the first floor.The menu has a total of sixteen dishes, which can be made with the existing ingredients.The specialty is braised pork.At the beginning, in order to advertise, Chu Ran got a few small stoves and placed clay pots, which contained stewed meat, braised pig's feet, stewed large intestines, etc., and customers could look at them.Stewed pork is the most expensive, and leftovers are cheaper. There are also sauced bones, which are the same price as stewed pork.

Chu Ran is doing herself a favor in the kitchen.

Still busy.Because most of the customers just want a serving of green vegetables or tofu and two bowls of rice, it’s great to order a piece of fish.They all came for the small dish of kimchi and stewed pork that Ben sent.The gift is a platter, one piece of one kind, at most it is a taste.Some people order it after they have tasted it.Some taste it and forget it, and I am reluctant to buy it.

The wine can't be sold at a high price, but you can drink it. Even the wine sold in the wine shop on the same street costs two yuan for a small pot, and one or two bottles can earn one or two yuan for ten pots.

Uncle Niu helped to deliver the wine, and also took care of the store, so that no one would run away with the order.Niu Song ran back and forth, too busy to touch the ground.

After the market closed at night, because the room was cold, the grandfather and grandson put together the long stools in the store and put them by the fire wall. They slept on the stools at night without being cold.The pot of stewed meat in the back kitchen is not put out all night. They live in the front yard, so it is convenient to watch the fire.

It has been open for three days, but Chu Ran is fine. She has a tall body and a background in martial arts, so she has a lot of strength.But Niusong's legs were swollen, and there was a deep line on his feet due to the shoes.

How can this work? I'm still a child. Don't get tired.

In addition, there are indeed a lot of guests, six tables, and when it comes to the meal, there must be a table sharing.Usually it turns over twice.It's not the rest time of the meal, and occasionally one or two people come to buy lo mei.Also sold separately.Niu Song will take advantage of this time to clean up.It was only after opening that I found out that there was no place prepared, and the back kitchen used cold water to wash dishes, which is not acceptable.Chu Ran couldn't accept this grievance.The first night, I hired a mason to build an extra stove, which only boiled hot water. When washing vegetables and dishes, I added two scoops of hot water. The dishes were easy to clean, and my hands would not get chilblains.Water is readily available and there is a well in the backyard.The water quality is not bad, it is a deep well.Chu Ran also threw the Yushui stone down.The taste of the dishes is equivalent to cheating.After the restaurant closes at night, Uncle Niu will fill up the large water tank in the kitchen, enough for the next day.

Chu Ran was satisfied with the grandpa and grandson, so she didn't want to be so tired, and she really couldn't do it.So I looked for Ren Yazi and picked two families.The whole family bought it.The family name is Zhang and the family name is Zhao.The Zhang family is a father and wife in their early thirties, with two sons, the eldest is fifteen and the younger is twelve.The younger one let go to the house and helped Xiao Yu as a book boy.The older one learns to cook in the back kitchen, Aunt Zhang washes and cuts vegetables, and Uncle Zhang is honest and does odd jobs.The Zhao family consists of three generations, and Aunt Zhao is in her early forties, washing dishes and cleaning.Brother Zhao is also learning how to cook in the back kitchen. The child is still young, only five years old. Mrs. Zhao takes care of the sanitation and cleaning of the small courtyard with the child, so as not to delay taking care of the child.

When the meal is busy, except for the two who are learning to cook, they all help to serve the dishes and act as waiters.

The two families were grateful to Chu Ran because they had someone who learned how to cook, and they both said that as long as they took care of food and lodging, they would be fine with no wages.How could Chu Ran really be like that? He rented a cheap small yard in the northwest corner, and the monthly rules were also given.

Seeing that Uncle Niu was so envious, he wished that Niu Song would also sign the contract of sale, just so that Niu Song could learn cooking skills as well.Being a cook in this day and age is an amazing skill.Following Master, you will have to serve for many years.

Then learn, and didn't say anything about recruiting apprentices, even when Niu Song went to the kitchen to steal teachers, she would also teach, and she would answer when asked her how to cook.To be honest, even if you have learned it well, without yourself, without soaking in Yushui Stone's water, the taste of the things you make will be almost ten percent worse.Chu Ran is really not afraid of being imitated by others.

But this approach is very attractive.It's not bad to buy people's hearts.

There are eight more mouths to eat, plus the monthly bill of more than two taels a month, the cost is much higher.The private room upstairs was opened, and the earning did not increase much.After the first two months of novelty, the business has also slowed down a lot. Because there are so many people who eat, they rely on selling food to maintain their income and expenditure.The profit still depends on selling braised pork.Chu Ran simply opened a small counter at the door and let Aunt Zhao watch the sale of stewed meat and vegetables.Braised vegetables sell faster than stewed meat. Some people will ask for two spoonfuls of marinade when they buy braised vegetables. They say it is heavy, but in fact, it is a good dish to stew tofu with marinated vegetables at home.After a month of busy work, there is no more than ten taels of silver left.If I want to add a cabinet or a table to my home, since I just moved here, there must be a lot of things to buy, and I really can't even save two taels of silver in a month.

The small courtyard is getting more and more full.The things in the house also gradually increased.Inexpensive wood is very cheap. Xiao Yu was at home and did it by himself, slowly, little by little, and made all the cabinets and shelves.

Kaichun'er Chu's father and mother Chu came again. Usually, the village or the town comes to the county to deliver firewood and sell medicine. Every time, he would go to the restaurant to have a look. If he hunted prey, he didn't have to sell it. He sent it directly to the restaurant and Chu Ran took it. Yes, these people will help deliver the message when they go back.After all, you can't rest assured, come to see it with your own eyes, and only half of your heart can be relieved.

"When I earn a few more months, I can buy the yard next to it. When my parents come again, I will have a place to live." After taking a look, I can't stay for two hours in total, and I have to go back Hurry up, Chu Ran felt tormented watching it.

Chu Niang is not willing to come and live, "There are still so many pigs at home, I can't leave. Didn't you say that you will make sauce in the spring? The sauce primers at home are all done, and I think it's not bad. There are not many beans at home, so I collected some more. It is enough to make three or five jars of sauce. Your father said that the sauce meat is selling well, and I plan to open a few more acres of land to plant beans. I don’t need to buy beans next year when I make sauce ..."

The ramblings are all about living.Before that, the ten acres of land in the family were all planted with soybeans, and all of them were pressed for oil and replaced with bean cakes to feed pigs.There was also a small portion of ground tofu.In the town, the cripple used the ingredients and recipes left by Chu Ran to make stewed meat with sauce. He never threw it into the water, and it became the most profitable part.The local population is heavy, so sauced pork sells better than stewed pork.Isn't this my own water? I thought about making the sauce myself, the taste must be better.

Chu Ran's sauce-making skills were learned from her fourth sister-in-law in her previous life.Going to give it a try.Mother Chu didn't take it seriously before, so she asked her to practice. The family life is not tight, and it is normal to spoil the children.But now, the lo mei is selling well and the restaurant is making money, so she really pays attention to it.

Judging from the current situation, the capital spent can be earned back in half a year, so of course we have to work hard.

Father Chu is in business by himself, since his daughter is not the one who cannot afford to support him, of course he can't stand by and watch.

"Go back and hire a buddy, and you can look after the store with five catties. I will go to the mountains more in the future, and I will directly collect the harvest in the village and send it to you. We can also make tofu and sprout bean sprouts at home. Save money by buying one, and raise a good horse, and give it away every day.”

Hey, it's fifty or sixty miles away, and there is still half of the mountain road. It takes three or four hours to come back, and the food is delivered every day?Toss or not toss?

But Chu Ran didn't say anything against it. It would take a few months to prepare.At that time, it would be a big deal for Uncle Zhang to follow the delivery, or to deliver the goods the day before, and then go back the next day. With Father Chu's body, it is not a big problem.

Just like this first.
