Chapter 55: Depositing Money in the Bank
She started by just cooking a pot of porridge, merely giving it a try. If she couldn’t sell it, she planned for her family to eat it.
At the beginning of setting up the stall, there were quite a few regular customers. After buying pancakes, they smelled a very fragrant aroma and asked Qin Xiangnuan, "What is this?"
"This is preserved egg and lean meat porridge, it’s savory. It has preserved eggs and meat added into it, eating it with pancakes. There’s hot porridge and hot pancakes, not only are they delicious, but they also fill you up. After eating, you break into a sweat and won’t feel cold anymore."
Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, I haven’t tried this before. Give me a bowl. In this weather, it’s freezing. Drinking a bowl of hot porridge really warms you up.
Immediately, Qin Xiangnuan hurriedly grabbed a bowl and ladled a bowl of porridge for them, and although the bowl wasn’t big, it was filled to the brim. Ten cents; it’s more than worth it, especially with real meat and eggs, making people savor it greedily, and others couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
Soon, the stall was filled with people, everyone asking for bowls, and in no time, the porridge was sold out. Qin Xiangnuan calculated that this big pot made about thirty small bowls and earned just under 3 yuan, with the cost being about one yuan. Although the porridge only made two yuan profit, the small amounts added up. Seeing that the porridge was selling so well, she made two more pots quickly, which again sold out, even using up their own portion. Qin Xiangnuan felt that she needed to buy a bigger pot. From these three pots of porridge, she made about 10 yuan in total, earning a good 7 yuan, a fairly decent income for the day as they continued making pancakes and selling porridge.
They made over 70 yuan. If this continues for a few more days, they will have earned back the money they invested for the stall.
After earning nearly eighty-plus yuan in one day, Qin Xiangyang couldn’t stop smiling and hurriedly went home to safely store the money they earned. This way, regardless of windy or rainy days, the stall could continue operating. Additionally, Wendi was a very diligent girl. Now when they arrived, the stove would already be lit, and they didn’t even need to wash the bowls themselves. Therefore, Qin Xiangnuan decided to increase Wendi’s salary to 30 yuan starting from the second month.
