Chapter 166: Delivery to Lou Mansion
"Today is the first day of business, so it's inevitable that there's some confusion, but fortunately nothing went wrong. Today's turnover reached 18 taels, 215 coins, far exceeding my budget, and that's because someone paid a deposit for tomorrow. In a few days, Yan Sui and the others won't be here to help, and Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju will help the shop owners, so we need to streamline the steps."
"Lian Ye and Xiao Hua, you can just mix the milk tea and strawberry powder with a small amount of warm water first. When serving, you only need to add hot water to reduce the mixing time. For large orders like tomorrow's, you can prepare the milk tea in a bucket and then package it one by one."
Several people thought it made sense and it would save time and effort.
Zhao Qiqi put away the silver, counted out some of it, and divided it into cents: "Originally, wages were paid once a month, but now there are many temporary helpers, so we temporarily pay them on a daily basis. Originally it was fifty coins a day, but business is good today, so I'll give everyone an extra twenty coins as a reward."
"Come in line one by one, don't be in a hurry."
"Thank you, auntie!"
Gu Xiaohua was the first to stand in front of Zhao Qiqi. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. It was the first time she had earned so much money. The most important thing was that she could finally keep the money in her own hands!
"Ma'am....uh, aunt, do we have any too?"
Bihe looked at the copper coins handed over by Zhao Qiqi with some joy, which was a little unbelievable. They, the servants who were sold indentured, usually only needed some monthly wages so that they could buy things occasionally.
"You will get money naturally if you do the work. Take it. You can go out and buy anything you want to eat."
The lunch was just a makeshift meal, and in the evening, Zhao Qiqi took everyone to a restaurant in Yongfu Lane for dinner.
After eating and drinking, they returned to the yard, cleaned up the house, and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The reputation of the milk tea shop will definitely spread after today's sales. Maybe tomorrow there will be people from other places coming to buy it, so there will be more people tomorrow, there is no doubt about it.
Today, Zhao Qiqi also prepared "Students' Breakfast"
A cup of milk tea of any flavor + steamed bun burger
The burger flavors also include fried chicken steak, pan-fried chicken steak, fried pork steak, and pan-fried pork steak.
In modern times, her favorite is beef burgers. Without the sauce and pickles, it is the healthiest meal in college.
Zhao Qiqi posted what Gu Yanyan had written, and of course also drew a picture.
It's just a simple drawing of a steamed bun hamburger.
"Today's new products? This store is quite interesting, shall we go check it out?"
"I heard from someone yesterday that the food here is very unique and I have never eaten it before."
"Stop talking, hurry in, I smell really good right now."
Several primary school students who were preparing to go to school came in. Those who could afford to go to school were all from wealthy families.
"Come on, give me a portion of that student breakfast."
Zhao Qiqi lifted the curtain that separated the back yard and the front shop. It was very troublesome to open and close the door all the time when doing business during the day, and for the sake of privacy, he installed a piece of cloth in two halves so that it would not be an obstruction.
"Master Lu?"
Zhao Qiqi was the first to recognize Lu Sui standing in front of her. He was the young master who had eaten her rice rolls in Qixian Town.
"Aunt Zhao!"
Lu Sui's originally cold expression became warm: "You actually came to the county too! I missed your rice noodle rolls so much, why don't you continue making them!"
"When someone caused trouble for me, I stopped doing it. Why are you here too?"
Looking at his appearance and the servant boy beside him, Zhao Qiqi guessed that he might be going to school.
"I don't know where Master Qu has gone, so my father wanted me to receive better education, so he took me back to the county to go to school. Auntie, when can you make rice rolls for me again?"
Zhao Qiqi felt a little guilty when she heard the name "Mr. Qu". "We don't have the equipment yet. If possible, we will consider making rice noodle rolls again. How about you order this student breakfast meal first? I assure you, this is also delicious."
Lu Sui believed it without a doubt. He had tasted Aunt Zhao's cooking skills, and Aunt Zhao cooked in many different ways. The students' breakfast must be something special.
He turned around and advertised to the group of people behind him: "Don't disbelieve me, Aunt Zhao's cooking skills are very good. If you don't believe me, just order this and try it." Although he himself had not tasted it yet.
Zhao Qiqi quickly wrote down their orders on a piece of paper: "Are you in a hurry to go to class? If so, we can take this away."
Seeing this, several people nodded. It was really difficult to get up early to go to school. Even so, this group of young masters and young ladies had to be urged by the servants at home before they could get up. Breakfast was also prepared at home, but they just didn't have time to eat. Now that they saw this strange thing, they stopped, but they were also anxious in their hearts. The teacher was very strict. They treated everyone equally, whether they were young masters from wealthy families or sons of landlords, and would punish them if they made a mistake.
"I want it fried. It must be delicious if it's fried."
"I want fried chicken... milk tea? I don't recognize any of these flavors. Never mind, just pick one at random."
The pork chops and chicken chops for breakfast had been prepared and fried long ago, and the steamed buns and eggs had also been made and fried long ago. Now all they had to do was heat them up in the pan that Zhao Qiqi had specially made for them, and then put them together. Oh, and add the salad dressing that Zhao Qiqi had bought from the system.
Wrap it with wax paper, and it takes less than a minute to assemble and package. Plus, they have so many people and they work together, so the process is fast.
Just like that, the boys hurried away, carrying milk tea in one hand and steamed buns and hamburgers in the other.
Zhao Qiqi shouted behind them: "If you like it, you can also subscribe for a month, then you will have more breakfast options!"
"Aunt, this breakfast is only eleven cents a portion, how many people would be willing to come and eat it?"
Zhao Qiqi put the money he had collected in the cash box and heard Gu Xiaohua ask with some concern.
"Don't worry, steamed buns don't cost much, and milk tea is a regular product. Besides, it's not limited to breakfast."
"Okay, let's prepare the order for the Lou Mansion. The food can be packed with oil paper, and the milk tea can be packaged out when we get there, as we agreed yesterday."
As the delivery time approached, more and more people came into the store, and Zhao Qiqi planned to deliver the goods with Gu Yansui herself.
The wooden barrel containing milk tea liquid, disposable bamboo cups, strawberry powder, etc. were loaded onto the carriage, and Gu Yansui drove in the front.
According to the address left by the housekeeper of the Lou Mansion, Gu Yansui arrived quickly in the carriage.
"Hello, we are here to deliver something from the milk tea shop. I wonder if your housekeeper has given you instructions?"
