Chapter 249: [248] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 99 (2 more updates)

Yingbin Building was renovated into Huiben Building because Xiao Yu wanted to open a national chain store, and of course, this idea was also approved by Zhang Quan.

Moreover, Huiben rolls off the tongue easier than Yingbin.

Today was the first day of the trial business; Yaya and she were both helping in the kitchen, with a focus on skewers, so small potato didn’t make an appearance.

Once the skewers earn a good reputation today, small potato will take the stage tomorrow.

For just the Noon meal alone, they had prepared almost twenty taels worth of skewers, selling till two in the afternoon before the crowd gradually dissipated.

After counting the money, Zhang Quan’s face immediately burst into a smile, "My Sky, Xiao Yu, you really are my lucky star. Just from this Noon’s meal, I’ve made twenty taels, that’s a fifty-fifty profit!"

"Uncle, did you calculate the labor costs?"

"I did, I did. The profit is after deducting labor costs. Didn’t we already account for the costs this morning? Twenty taels of profit from one meal, I’ve realized now that the best thing I’ve done this year was to keep patient and listen to you talk. Look, our Yingbin Building has been resurrected into Huiben Building."

Rubbing his hands and his eyes squinting with joy, it was clear his mood was very good. He even felt that the decision to renovate Huiben Building before the end of the year and these past few days of trial business was right. Indeed, following this girl’s train of thought was correct.

"Then Yaya can set up the stall tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, yes, but is all her material prepared?"

Xiao Yu nodded, "It’s all ready."

"Alright then, you two take care of your part tomorrow. We have enough hands on deck here, and your aunt and I will also help out in the kitchen. Let’s all work together to make this warm-up event go well, make it satisfying, and ideally make them crave it every day. Actually, I want to set up a stall in the evening too."

"Uncle, it’s possible to have too much of a good thing!"

"Ah, that’s true. Delicious food indeed has to be the kind that you keep thinking about to be the most charming. Even the tastiest thing loses its appeal if you can get it anytime."

In the following days, the two sisters stayed in the backyard and didn’t return to the village. Grandma’s health had greatly improved; the house had food and vegetables, and she would take good care of herself. The two of them would take advantage of the time before the New Year to earn some more money, hoping to pay off the debt as soon as possible.

The next morning, the two of them got up early to make breakfast, and after eating, they began to peel potatoes, diced them, and saved the washed potato water so that at least some potato flour could be settled out of it later.

Around ten, people were already waiting to eat the spicy skewers, but it takes time to simmer them properly. Only by cooking them longer would the flavor infuse properly into the ingredients, wouldn’t it? Thus, an opportunity arose for the sisters. After preparing a portion of spicy potato chunks, they took a long bamboo stick and offered tastings to the crowd.

The spicy flavor included cumin and chili powder, which made it taste a bit like barbecue, extremely fragrant.

Their salt had integrated into the potatoes, without any particular bitterness, making the potatoes crispy on the outside and spicy and satisfying to eat.

Every taster was captivated by this flavor, and while the spicy skewers were not yet ready, people began to buy these five cents a portion of spicy small potatoes. Why small potatoes? Because Xiao Yu chose those small ones that couldn’t fetch a high price but still tasted good. Each potato could simply be cut in half and fried directly.
