Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Business is Booming (2)_1

The second painting depicted a large round table covered with colorful cakes. The cakes were incredibly realistic, with a variety including round, triangle, plum blossom shaped, and square. Each cake had its unique charm, stimulating the appetite at just a glance.

Underneath each cake, the price was clearly marked. While they were by no means cheap, they were within the range the majority of people could afford.

"Dear customers, what would you like? Feel free to order, today is the grand opening of our shop. By the proprietor’s command, any customer who spends up to two taels of silver at our shop today can receive a piece of each kind of cake for free. A golden opportunity not to miss!"

The guests glanced at the painting on the wall and pointed out a few items to make their order.

Thanks to Chang Mei’s effective advertising and the allure of the aroma of meat skewers, it didn’t take long for Bafu Restaurant to become packed. There was even a long queue outside the door of people eagerly waiting to try this incredibly fragrant novelty.

During this wait, Cai Wei ensured no one would be left hanging; she served each person with a juicy grilled meat skewer, glistening with fat and covered in lots of spices. The taste was so fragrant that people wished they could swallow their tongues along with it. Even the customers who were initially impatient and about to leave couldn’t bear to depart after tasting these skewers. Instead, they lined up obediently, staring at the restaurant in the hope of getting their turn soon.

The restaurant was bustling with energy, with the four waiters running up and down non-stop, shouting out orders.

"Table number seven on the first floor, add fifty cooked tendons and twenty roast fatty meats..."

"Room Number Three on the second floor has called for the bill, the total consumption is two taels, one qian, and five fen of silver, with two portions of assorted pastries on the house —"

"..."

Mu Zhongqing stood by the counter, playing temporary shopkeeper, watching as the money endlessly rolled in, his joy apparent as he clicked his abacus even faster!

The booming business of the restaurant was within Cai Wei’s expectations. This scene was reminiscent of yesterday, which left her happy and somewhat nostalgic. She wondered how the Eight-Fortune Tavern in Qingyun Town was doing. She also thought about what Uncle Zhou, Auntie Zhou, and Jiujin were doing now!

Huo Yuan and Cao Jin had arrived early, each bringing a table filled with lively and wealthy friends to support Cai Wei. These friends were potential return customers for Cai Wei in the future...

The business of the restaurant was surprisingly good. They busied themselves from the morning opening until closing near Hai hour. Although they were somewhat tired, everyone was very happy.

The boss had said that the waiters’ wages would be distributed according to the restaurant’s income. That meant the higher the restaurant’s income, the higher their wages.

When Manager Mu calculated that today’s net income was about forty-four taels and six copper coins, the waiters cheered. The boss earned over forty taels in a day, and they could earn over four hundred copper coins in wages a day. This meant that each of them could earn over ten taels of silver income a month.

Such generous income was beyond their wildest dreams. Having secured such a great job, finding a wife and supporting a family would no longer be a problem in the future!

The waiters left work cheerfully. Their exhaustion was swept away, and they hurried home to share the exciting news with their families!

Mu Zhongqing was also very pleased. Back when he was teaching in Qingyun Town, he only earned one to two taels of silver a month. But running a restaurant could yield forty to fifty taels of silver a day. This was simply hard to believe.

He did a rough calculation. If the restaurant continues to operate under the current circumstances, his family would be able to earn over one thousand taels of silver a month. This was something he would not even dare to dream of in the past!
