Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Convergence(2)_1

Having made up her mind, Cai Wei drifted off to sleep, feeling at peace...

The next morning, Cai Wei and her father went to the farmer’s market. They carefully selected the fresh vegetables, seafood, and various meats needed at the inn today. After negotiating and making the purchases, Cai Wei’s heart fluttered nervously as they paid the money, especially for the expensive greens, which felt like a bleeding wound in her heart.

She couldn’t help but think of the fertile vegetable plot back in her space. If all those lush green vegetables were still there, how much silver could she save!

Thinking of this, a desire to buy a manor suddenly popped into Cai Wei’s mind. It would take three to five years for her space to recover. During these three to five years, the inn would need a large amount of greens, and even more so for the future hot pot and spicy hot pot restaurants. How much silver would she have to spend if she could only buy them at the market?

As for seafood, fish, and shrimp, if the manor is near a river or there is a river in the manor, she could raise them herself, becoming self-sufficient. Even cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and fat pigs could be raised by themselves, saving the daily extra earnings for the meat shops.

A large manor in the suburbs of the capital city costs only twenty to thirty thousand taels of silver. She could afford this!

Having decided, Cai Wei collected her thoughts, helped her father load the purchased vegetables and meat onto the carriage, and father and daughter returned to the Bafu Restaurant, led by Mu Zhongqing and his horse carriage.

Back in Mao’er Alley, even before they reached the inn, they saw a long queue in front of their own restaurant from a distance. Cai Wei was taken aback.

What was going on?

Mu Zhongqing was also startled, hurriedly rushed the carriage forward, stopped, and jumped down. He ran to find out what was happening.

Once inside the inn, he realized that the crowded crowd was all there to buy their own dim sum.

It seemed that overnight, the few varieties of their dim sum had made a big noise in the capital!

Looking at the long line of customers, he shook his head and smiled with a mix of emotions.

Yesterday, when Wei’er handed out the dim sum as a bonus, he didn’t quite understand his daughter’s approach. Those delicious and precious treats could definitely be sold for a good price, why give them away for free?

His daughter had a different point of view and insisted on giving them away. Fortunately, he was not a stubborn person. Because of her insistence, he painfully followed his daughter’s suggestion.

Unexpectedly, the dim sum that his daughter gave away got their own dim sum known and recognized by the people in the capital in just one night! The extra silver earned by the early fame of their own dim sum was incomparable to the worth of the dim sum given away last night.

At this moment, he was speechless, deeply admiring his daughter’s astute business mindset. He decided to completely follow his daughter’s plans for the operation and management of the inn from now on.

The two shop assistants were busy selling dim sum, and the others were not idle either. They all naturally found work to do: those who were cleaning were cleaning, those who were making ear dumplings were making ear dumplings, and those who were making wontons were making wontons. Seeing their boss return with the food supplies, all the waiters and maids rushed forward to unload the stuff their boss bought from the carriage.

After entering the room, without Cai Wei’s orders, they orderly began to wash vegetables, cut meat, skewer...

Cai Wei was very pleased to see the waiters being so initiative. Although everyone’s enthusiasm was instigated by the heavy salary, she was still very happy. As long as everyone worked together, the inn would definitely prosper.

She, too, didn’t put on airs as the boss. After checking in the back kitchen, she also started to work with everyone.

The main business of the inn was roasted meat skewers, and they had a high demand for meat skewers. Cai Wei, along with the waiters and maids, was quickly skewering, her mind calculating. She had to send someone to a human trafficker later, to buy a few suitable people. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to supply enough dim sum, but they wouldn’t even be able to supply their main product, the roasted meat skewers!
