"Boss, I used to think that the snacks you made were delicious, but I didn't expect the dishes you made to taste even better. I have never eaten such delicious dishes in the whole country. Today is really not in vain." The businessman surnamed Wang was full of praise. .
Li Hehua was so complimented by him, and he was also happy, and said with a smile: "Thanks for the compliment, if you find it delicious, I will come here often in the future."
The businessman surnamed Wang nodded naturally, "That's for sure, I'll come when I have time in the future." It's a pity that he's not from here, so he can't come here often, so he can only eat once every time he passes by. Hey, he felt that after eating this restaurant's food, it would be boring to eat other people's food in the future.
The companion behind him also agreed at this time. He used to think that the food in this restaurant was too expensive, but now that he finished eating it, he felt that it was not expensive at all. It is true that every penny is worth every penny. This taste, if In the capital, it is estimated that there are many people eating at dozens of tables.
The merchant surnamed Wang was not in a hurry to pay the bill, but said to Li Hehua: "Boss, we will be boarding the ship later, bring me some of your pastries and dry food, your food is very delicious, my children I like to eat, and I can eat dry food.”
"No problem." Li Hehua nodded with a smile and asked, "How much do you want for each item? I'll pack it for you."
The businessman surnamed Wang thought for a while and said, "Please pack me eight pieces of each cake, and give me twenty pieces of dry food." It will be five days after the next landing, so you must bring more food.
He asked for too much, and Li Hehua didn't know if there were so many cakes and dry food left, so he said, "Wait a moment, I'll pack it for you, but I don't know if there are so many cakes and dry food left. Not enough?"
The merchant surnamed Wang said, "Then give me as much as I have."
Li Hehua nodded, walked out from behind the counter, walked to the area where the pastries were sold, and asked Cao Simei, "Sister, do you still have eight pieces of pastries?"
Cao Simei packed the cakes she wanted for a customer who bought cakes, and then she had time to answer Li Hehua's words, "This morning, there are a lot of cakes sold, like cakes and red bean cakes are almost gone, and there are eight others."
Li Hehua said: "If you have eight yuan, give me eight yuan for each item. If the rest is not enough, give me how much you have left, and you can use the other more to make up the number. The guests over there are waiting to take them on the boat to eat. Oh, by the way, and dry food, pack me ten Roujiamo and Shifen Sauce Pancakes."
Cao Simei was very happy to hear that someone asked for so much at once, so she went to make the cakes, and Li Hehua also picked up the clips and oil paper bags to help pack the dry food. A larger version of the oiled paper bag, one oiled paper bag can hold multiple cakes and dry food at the same time, which is very convenient.
Because the businessman surnamed Wang wanted so many things, even if he used the largest oil paper bag, he still packed more than a dozen bags, and he couldn't carry it with two hands. Li Hehua saw that the group of them didn't bring anything. The dozen or so paper bags were also inconvenient. After thinking about it, he went to the backyard to get a basket, put the oil paper bags in the basket, and handed the basket to the merchant surnamed Wang.
"This is what you want. Some of the pastries are not enough. I'll make up for it with others. Can you see?"
The businessman surnamed Wang nodded, "Okay, thank you boss, but this basket..."
Li Hehua said: "You have too many things. It is inconvenient to carry paper bags. It is more convenient to use a basket. This basket is borrowed from you. If you come to dinner next time, bring it to me. It doesn't matter if you forget it. Not worth the money."
Seeing that Li Hehua is so generous, the businessman surnamed Wang admires Li Hehua even more. Although the boss is a female class, he is not stingy and stingy like a woman. It's because the craftsmanship is so good, it's no wonder that her family's business is not good.
He decided to talk to the business people he knew more in the future, and let them come to her house to eat, which is considered to be a business for the boss.
After the group of merchants surnamed Wang left, the people in the remaining two boxes also finished their meals and paid for it. Each table of guests felt that the money was worth it. Obviously, Li Hehua's craftsmanship conquered everyone. stomach.
It wasn't until half-afternoon that the dining craze in the restaurant completely subsided, and everyone could take a break from the busy work. Li Hehua asked Xiaoqing and Xiaohong to cook some food for everyone, while she stood behind the counter and checked the accounts for today.
Today, there are four tables in the box on the second floor, and a total of 18,204,000 pennies are received, rounded up to be 18 taels, while the snacks on the first floor are about 20 taels of silver, plus the cakes and dry food made today. A total of one or two and a half silver was sold, and so far I have received almost twenty-one taels of silver, not including the money for the meal that night.
In general, excluding all kinds of labor and costs, this restaurant can earn about 16 taels of silver a day. Li Hehua is satisfied with this price. Although he can't be very rich, he is also considered to be well-off. This is a good day.
If she kept going at this speed, she would soon be able to save enough money to buy a house for Zhang Lin's family to live in, so she could let go of her heart.
Li Hehua was thinking happily, his cheek was pinched.
"Why are you smiling so happily?" Zhang Tieshan's low voice sounded in his ears.
Li Hehua raised the ledger in his hand, "How much money I made today."
Zhang Tieshan twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that her look of a little money fan was quite cute, um, compared to some when he was drunk, he couldn't help pinching her face again.
Li Hehua put away the ledger, "You finished your meal so soon?"
Zhang Tieshan nodded.
Seeing that the others were still eating, Li Hehua said to Zhang Tieshan, "Help me find a house."
Zhang Tieshan wondered, "Looking for a house? What are you doing?"
Li Hehua knew that if she said that she bought it for them, Zhang Tieshan would definitely be angry, and then she would never accept it. Now she understands the temper of this man, and she is not someone who is willing to rely on women, so she can only say: "I want to buy it again. A yard, you can live there if you need it in the future.”
Zhang Tieshan pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to ask."
Li Hehua laughed, knowing that this man was a reliable man, and that things would be guaranteed to him.
"This matter is not in a hurry, you can find it slowly, but at least the yard must be able to live in a family, preferably three or four rooms, not less than three rooms." Since the future is to marry Zhang Qingshan If you have a child, you naturally have to consider the number of rooms. Children will have at least two rooms, so the number of rooms should not be less.
Zhang Tieshan thought that Li Hehua was thinking about their family living in the future, and then the two of them would have other children, so he asked for more rooms. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, he nodded and said, "Okay, leave this to me."
At this time, Cao Simei came over after dinner and said to Li Hehua, "Sister, the cakes are selling very fast today, and they are already sold out. I have nothing to do this afternoon."
Li Hehua said: "Since it's sold out, then eldest sister, you can take Da Ya back in the afternoon, and come back tomorrow morning."
Cao Simei nodded in agreement, packed her things, and prepared to take Da Ya home. At this moment, Li Hehua's brain flashed, and he stopped Cao Simei again.
Cao Simei wondered, "What's the matter, girl?"
Li Hehua suddenly remembered the basket he had just given to the businessman surnamed Wang, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
There are many people who come to buy cakes from her. Many people buy cakes from her because they are delicious and good-looking. It's to visit someone who is sick, and to have a relationship. This is a good thing to take out.
Of course, there are a lot of them, like the merchant surnamed Wang just now, who buy a lot of them, wrap them one by one in oil paper each time, and then hold a lot of oil paper bags together, which is very difficult to handle.
So, why can't they introduce a pastry bag, like a modern paper bag, that can hold a lot of things, and can be carried directly, which is convenient and beautiful.
And this idea is actually very easy to realize. Just cut it out of the oil paper you bought, then stick it into a paper bag, and then draw some beautiful patterns on it, it will look tall and grand.
The truth is like a modern fruit basket. Just because there is an extra basket, the price goes up all of a sudden, but there are still many people who buy it.
All the food sold in the town are wrapped in oil paper. If their family introduced this kind of bag, it would definitely be very popular and the price would be able to go up.
Thinking of this, Li Hehua felt that it was necessary to implement this oil-paper bag, and to do more.
The number of paper bags must be a lot. This kind of manual work requires manpower and time. They certainly don’t have time to do it themselves. They can let the women in the village do it, and make one for a certain amount of money, and that’s it.
Li Hehua said to Cao Simei: "Eldest sister, I want to make a kind of oil paper bag for our cakes, but we certainly don't have time to do it ourselves, I want you to go back and tell the ingenious women in your village. , let them do it for me, I will give them money, and the quality is convenient for you to check for me, can you think?"
When Cao Simei heard it, although she didn't know what the oil-paper bag was, she thought that as long as Li Hehua said it, there would be absolutely nothing wrong, and it must be something to make money. No problem at all, if the women in the village knew that they could make money, they would definitely rush to do it and promise to do it well for you."
Li Hehua nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, I'll make a model first at night, and then you can take it back and show it to others, and let them do as I do."
Cao Simei said there was no problem.
When the night closed, Li Hehua lit two oil lamps and placed them on the table, spread the oil paper he bought on the table, then went to the kitchen to get a piece of charcoal, and cut the charcoal into a pointed shape with a knife. version of the pencil.
Zhang Tieshan still didn't leave. He sat beside her with Shulin in his arms and watched. When he saw her cutting a piece of charcoal with a knife, he was really puzzled, "What are you doing? Your hands are black."
Li Hehua smiled and said, "I'm going to use it to draw lines on oil paper later. The lines drawn in this way are so thin and light that they can hardly be seen."
Zhang Tieshan understood, smiled silently, and then carried Shulin to the room. When he came out again, he held a piece of cloth in his hand and brought a basin of water at the same time.
Zhang Tieshan wrapped the other end of the charcoal with a cloth, exposing only the pointed end of the charcoal, so that his hands would not be all black.
Li Hehua smiled at him, then blinked again to express his gratitude.
Zhang Tieshan patted her head, picked up her charcoal-like hands and put them in clean water, and rubbed her clean before letting her continue painting.
Li Hehua simply refused to be polite to him and said, "Zhang Tieshan, do me a favor again, help me mix the bowl of paste, I'll use it later."
Zhang Tieshan naturally followed suit. He didn't feel annoyed at all about her orders, but was happy. She was willing to speak to him, which showed that she really began to rely on him and became more intimate with him. He could not wait.
Li Hehua drew lines on the paper with charcoal according to the size he wanted, and then cut along the lines with a knife. After cutting, he brought the rivers and lakes adjusted by Zhang Tieshan and put a few pieces of paper where they should be pasted. Stick it, and within a while, an oiled paper bag is ready.
Zhang Tieshan picked up the oil paper bag and looked at it back and forth. He had to admit that it was really a good thing. It looked much better than simply wrapping it in a piece of paper, and it was very convenient to use.
How could this little woman in his family have so many ideas
Li Hehua hummed, took a few pieces of cakes and put them in the oil-paper bag, then put his fingers through the hole left at the top, and picked it up like he was carrying a basket.
"How is it, not bad?" Li Hehua said, shaking the paper bag in his hand.
Zhang Tieshan nodded in support of the venue.
Shulin also nodded along with his father, mother is the best.
One big and one small gave face like this, Li Hehua took out the cakes in the paper bag, and each gave a piece, "A reward for you."
Shulin quickly took it and ate it happily, but Zhang Tieshan was quite confused, but with Li Hehua's 'encouragement', he still took it and ate it with his son.
Forget it, she'll be happy.
After the two of them finished eating, Li Hehua waved to Shulin, who was obediently staying by the side, "Shulin, come here, mother."
Shulin Xiaozui grinned and ran to Li Hehua, hugged her leg all of a sudden, and said in a glutinous voice, "Mother—"
Li Hehua kissed him on the forehead, "Shu Lin, mother wants you to do me a favor now, can you?"
Shulin nodded and nodded again without hesitation, his eyes were shining, the little guy was very excited about being able to help his mother.
Li Hehua pointed to the finished oil paper bag and said, "Shulin, mother now wants you to paint a cake for mother on this surface, and then write the words "Delicious Ju" on the bottom, okay?"
Shulin nodded, and ran into the painting and calligraphy room as soon as he stepped on his short legs, and then ran back after a while, holding his pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand.
Li Hehua was completely assured of Shulin's ability, and handed him the oil-paper bag to let him play. She continued to cut the oil-paper bag and planned to make several different sizes.
By the time Li Hehua finished another, Shulin had already done it and showed Li Hehua what he painted.
I saw a plate painted on the front of the oil-paper bag, and there were three cakes on the plate. Although there were only a few strokes, the cakes were painted so vividly that everyone knew that it was a cake.
Under the plate, there are also three big characters in regular script: Delicious House.
Just don't look too good!
Li Hehua was so proud, holding Shulin's little head, he printed a few kisses, "Baby you draw so well, my mother likes it so much, thank you baby!"
Shu Lin's eyes almost narrowed to a smile.
"Hmm!" A deliberate cough sounded beside him.
Li Hehua looked at the big man who made the sound. This man was staring at her with calm eyes, and his eyes were expressing a certain meaning.
Li Hehua wanted to laugh, sometimes a man is really like a child, you say he is mature, he is more mature than anyone else, but it is unbearable to be naive in some aspects, such as now.
Li Hehua sighed, leaned over, and stamped two kisses on the big man's face, this man was satisfied.
childish!
Li Hehua asked Zhang Tieshan to take Shulin to wash and coax him to sleep. She took advantage of this time to make two different sizes of paper bags, and then planned to go to the seal engraving place tomorrow and engrave it like Shulin painted it. The seal will be stamped directly in the paper bag in the future, even if it is the LOGO of their restaurant.
Moreover, she also thought that this paper bag can not only be used to pack cakes and dry food, but also can be used to pack meals. It can be packed back to eat without bringing plates and baskets.
