Chapter 47 – 47: The Leap of Quality

Tang Xiaowei’s eyes widened, and without much concern, she picked up a flatbread and started to eat with chopsticks.

“This is even better than the braised pork from Duan Fu Ji!”

As Tang Xiaowei stuffed meat into her mouth, she praised with tears in her eyes.

Chen Yu knew Duan Fu Ji; it was a high-end eatery in the capital that specialized in braised flavors.

Reportedly, an ordinary pound of their braised pork could sell for thousands of yuan.

Now, including Tang Xiaowei, there were ten people in the shop.

Chen Yu had originally thought that leaving ten pounds of braised meat might be a bit much, but now it seemed a little less than enough.

It had to be said, the flavor of the braised pork was truly exceptional.

When Chen Yu first got the recipe for the braised pork, he felt it was quite ordinary.

Previously, the spices he used for braising were not much different from those provided by the system.

The only difference lay in the amount and proportion of the ingredients.

It didn’t seem like much, some ingredients were a bit more, some were less, but the taste produced was completely different.

“I think, even the chefs from Duan Fu Ji might not be able to achieve this flavor.”

Tong Ya was also there, sighing, and she still thought that the braised pork was indeed a bit too cheap.

By nine o’clock in the evening, everyone still leaned back in their chairs, caressing their bellies with satisfaction.

Especially the six young girls, this was the first time in their lives they had tasted such delicious braised meat.

“Alright, everyone tidy up and go back to rest soon, we meet here at four-thirty sharp in the morning.”

The six young girls responded and went about their business.

After a while, the system notification sounded in Chen Yu’s mind.

[Congratulations to the host for perfectly completing a day of business, today’s net profit is 127,500 yuan, earning 127,500 points. The total cumulative points are now 367,280.]

Chen Yu carefully calculated today’s turnover and found that after introducing braised meat, the sales volume of fried cakes had obviously decreased.

However, the turnover of vegetable twists increased by comparison.

This situation might only apply to today, as many people could only use vegetable twists as their staple food while eating braised pork.

Moreover, today’s turnover also broke through to 137,500 yuan.

Indeed, every time a new skill was unlocked, there would be a qualitative leap in turnover.

After deducting the ten-thousand-yuan cost of buying meat and ingredients yesterday, there was roughly 170,000 yuan left in Chen Yu’s account.

Adding the cash from the counter and the money previously set aside for minor expenses, it just surpassed 180,000 yuan.

Chen Yu calmed his excited heart and transferred 150,000 yuan into his current account.

At that moment, the six young girls tidied up the cleaning utensils and bid Chen Yu farewell, bouncing back to their dormitory.

Chen Yu then made a phone call, just like yesterday, and ordered 1,000 pounds of pork.

The next day, Chen Yu got up early and entered the braised pork into the ordering system.

He then began working on his own.

However, braising was a complete cuisine in itself, and to make all the varieties, the current manpower and shop space were far from sufficient.

Yet with the current savings in hand, expanding into a reasonably large shop was simply not enough.

Just the equipment needed for making various braised foods and specialized tools represented a significant expense.

Plus, the cost of front-of-house labor, refurbishments, and miscellaneous expenses would be at least several hundred thousand yuan.

Indeed, at this stage, making money steadily was the best strategy.

At four-thirty, the six young girls also arrived at the shop on time.

They were basically familiar with all the procedures, and without needing any further instruction from Chen Yu, they began to work on their own divided tasks.
