Nongmen Shenjue

Chen Shiliu was very excited when he got Mu Qingyan's idea. He originally planned to stay for dinner, but he didn't care about it now, and immediately turned back to the county seat.

Mu Wen and Mu Wu were still reluctant to part with the group of God Detective Department, and there were other shops that came to inquire, but Mu Qingyan only said that they were here for dinner.

"Second brother, I have something to tell you. Our shop has received a big business." Mu Wen said.

It turned out that an inn was being built next door, and the daily labor alone was twenty or thirty. The owner also provided a lunch in addition to the wages, but he didn't cook it himself, and wanted to pay it to the restaurant.Mu Wen talked with the other party first, negotiated a price, and the dishes, and waited for Mu Qingyan to come back to finalize.

Mu Wen seemed very happy: "Their inn will have to be built for at least half a month. The manager of the other party said that the budget for a person's meal is ten yuan, and one dish is enough. If there is meat, the shop must send vegetable soup for free. , As for the staple food, it doesn’t matter whether it’s rice or noodles. Meals are settled every day, and it’s calculated according to the actual number of people eating. Oh, the manager also said that they have to eat as much as they can, and they have to be full.”

Selling a big pot of rice, the more people there are, the more profitable it is.

The price given by the steward is not low. If you want to order food in a restaurant in the city for ten pennies, it is difficult, but you can eat in a ferry restaurant, and you can eat meat.

Although these people who do heavy work must have an amazing appetite, but now the price of rice is [-] ren for a liter, noodles are [-] ren for a liter, and at least two liters of rice are paid for a liter of rice. I can't eat a liter of rice.Pork is expensive, but for these people, a catty of pork a day is enough to stir-fry vegetables. Thin slices of pork, stir-fried with vegetables, will fill a big pot, and it will be oily.

Roughly calculating the cost, it is probably half the profit.

Mu Wen also counted the accounts, calculated in half a month, at least he could make a net profit of two taels of silver!

Since the store opened, the business was at its best when it sold twelve catties of noodles a day, six pots of fish soup, and three or four servings of rice and meat dishes.Mu Wen calculated that a bowl of plain noodles costs three Wen, and a catty of noodles can cook five bowls, and twelve catties is 180 Wen.Fish soup is sold in bowls, one bowl costs one penny, one pot can sell more than 30 bowls, and six pots cost nearly 190 pennies.

The noodles and fish soup alone are almost 370, plus the money for selling breakfast and odds and ends, the total turnover of the day is 420 Erwen, which is very impressive.

And that was that day.

Because of this, Mu Wen is very excited to get such a business now.

Everyone knows that Muji Restaurant is a must for making fish. In fact, the profit of cooking fish soup every day is very thin, but this is delicious, easy, small profits but quick turnover, suitable for long-term operation.For example, this kind of business of managing workers' lunch is an accidental event.

It was already mid-afternoon, how many glasses of wine did Mu Qingyan drink, he felt a little sleepy, boiled another pot of fish soup, and went back to sleep.

As the sky was getting darker, the lanterns in the shop were lit, and the construction nearby also stopped. Only the shore was brightly lit, and a large cargo ship was docking.After this wave of goods has been moved, there will be business in the shop, but not in time for noon.

There are few ships docked at night, and there are also few porters. Only some people will stand guard at the ferry, waiting for a cargo ship that may arrive temporarily.

Not long after, a group of movers came over. Although they were all sweating profusely, they were all smiling.People who earn money at the ferry are not afraid of suffering, but fear of not having a job. Obviously, their income is good today.

"Mu shopkeeper, ten bowls of noodles, three bowls of fish soup, we are regular customers, more fish and tofu." The voice was a strong man in his thirties, his name was Guo Yong, and he belonged to the group of movers. Boss, who has been at the ferry for ten years, is a veritable old man.

"Xiao Wu, make more fish and tofu." Mu Qingyan yelled to the kitchen, and sure enough, the porters were very happy because of this.

This Guo Yong is more righteous, and he takes good care of other people on weekdays. Like today, if the job is good and he earns money, he will invite a small guest.For example, the three bowls of fish soup ordered were paid by Guo Yong, and they were not shared with other people.Even though it’s just three pennies, for the porters who rely on coolies for food, a penny is also very precious. After all, sometimes they are unlucky and can’t earn a penny a day.

Guo Yong was willing to treat guests, and seeing that they stayed at the ferry for dinner, they probably had to wait for the boat at the ferry at night.

I have been at the ferry for a long time, and I have my own contacts, so I can roughly find out which ships may come to dock.Although it is not very accurate, as long as there is a rough possibility, it is worth waiting for them.

This group of people sat and chatted after eating, and Mu Wen and Mu Wu were used to bringing bowls of water to everyone.

Guo Yong is a man who can talk and has eyesight. He had seen earlier that Mu Qingyan didn't mind them staying in the shop, so he would rest here occasionally, and come and talk from time to time. Isn't that how friendship develops slowly? Did it come out?

Don't look at them as coolies, but they are very clear about the ferry.And because he always deals with cargo ships and hears a lot of news from other places, Mu Wenmuwu is very interested in this.

"The boat is coming—" when we first arrived at Haishi, the shop was about to close, when someone shouted from the bank, Guo Yong and his group immediately ran towards the bank.The movers also have competition. Although there are some established rules, it is very important to seize the opportunity.

Mu Qingyan's shop was empty, and he was about to ask Mu Wenmu Wu to move tables and chairs into the room, when he was taken aback for a moment.

From the dimly lit place in the west, a person walked slowly, with a slender figure wrapped in a conspicuous crimson brocade dress, his face was still blurred, but his eyes were very clear.Even though he was far away, Mu Qingyan had a premonition that the man was from his shop.

Sure enough, the man walked into the shop, chose a table and sat down.

Mu Wenmu Wu, who has always been hospitable to guests, was shocked by such a guest at this moment.The two of them thought they had met a lot of people at the ferry, and even met a young master of Shenhunsi just now during the day, but the man in red in front of them was actually more imposing than Young Master Wen.

The two didn't know how to describe it, they just stared with bated breath, not daring to move rashly.

"What do you want to eat?" Mu Qingyan greeted himself.

"Cook what you do best."

"Wait a minute." Mu Qingyan pondered the menu in his heart, saw Mu Wen making tea, and hurriedly said: "Xiaowen, don't use that tea, go to my room to get the tea in the bamboo pot, take the fine tea Make tea in a porcelain bowl."

"Oh." Mu Wen murmured to himself, when Young Master Wen came during the day, he didn't see any good tea for him, it was just a big porcelain bowl and a big bowl of tea.

Wen Jixue looked at Mu Qingyan with a very satisfied expression.

Mu Qingyan smiled, turned around and went into the kitchen, and called Mu Wu to help.

He didn't do anything special either. He stewed the fish head tofu soup in a small pot, which was more meticulous and more effortful than using a large pot.A scrambled egg with leeks, a vegetarian stir-fried garlic and mashed vegetables, and a bowl of rice were served first.

Mu Qingyan prefers rice, so he steams it every day.

Wen Jixue twitched her index finger when she smelled the sweetness of the vegetables.He doesn't eat like the etiquette rules of the aristocratic family, but he is smooth and pleasing to the eye, probably because of the halo of beauty.

The two dishes were swept away, and the rice only moved slightly. When the fish head tofu soup was served, he ate some more tofu and fish, and drank a bowl of delicious fish soup.

Wen Jixue felt a slight heat in her heart, she hurriedly closed her eyes and practiced exercises, her true energy flowed freely through her meridians, it really felt comfortable all over her body.What surprised him even more was that when the heat calmed down, the stagnation in his heart seemed to ease by two points.

Mu Qingyan watched his expression carefully.

When cooking, he not only used his abilities, but also added a drop of essence to the dish of vegetarian stir-fry.

"Good craftsmanship!" Wen Jixue left a tael of silver, got up and left.

"Wow! Second brother, he is really generous!" Mu Wu was speechless.

But Mu Wen felt something was wrong: "Second Brother, you seem to treat him quite differently."

Mu Qingyan smiled broadly, "Oh, because he's a regular customer."

"A regular customer?" Mu Wen questioned. He has been in the shop since the opening. If there is such a regular customer, wouldn't he know?

Mu Qingyan was indeed different to the man in red, and the reason for this was nothing more than the fact that he closed his eyes.

The eye edge is a very mysterious thing, and it has nothing to do with appearance, temper, identity and background.In his previous life, Mu Qingyan met many people due to his work, with different occupations and temperaments, but there were not many who made him feel sleepy, and none of them felt the same as the man in red.

Rare things are precious, so what if he treats this person preferentially, money can't buy me happiness.
