Chapter 456: Preparations for Constructing a Winery (2)_1
Mo Yan had not expected the first day of business to be so good, being able to sell so much. She silently calculated in her heart and discovered, after deducting the cost of ingredients, that the net profit was nearly Five Hundred Wen!
Upon revealing this figure, Mo Wu’s eyes widened in surprise, staring at Mo Yan as she stuttered, "Yan girl, there’s that much? Could, could there be a mistake in the calculation?"
It was no wonder that Mo Wu found it hard to believe; she couldn’t fathom that the small stall could earn nearly as much Silver Coin as a laborer’s monthly wage from toiling away in the city.
Understanding her feelings, Mo Yan smiled and said, "Aunt Mo, the figure is correct and there’s no mistake. If you don’t believe it, you can calculate it again yourself!"
The most expensive items were the ingredients for pancake fruit, big pancakes rolled with eggs, and spicy paste soup, like the eggs, stewed meat, and cured meat as fillings.
An egg cost One Wen money each, a piece of dough with greens, green onions, sauce, and half a stick of fried dough at most One and a Half Wen, and with other non-vegetarian dishes and meat, about One Wen money. The cost of a non-vegetarian pancake fruit was approximately Three and a Half Wen, but it sold for Six Wen each; big pancakes rolled with eggs were slightly simpler in ingredients and sold for Five Wen Money each on average. Although the price was not as high as pancake fruit, the cost was lower, resulting in a relatively higher profit; spicy paste soup cost Two Wen money a bowl, and a large pot of it could sell for forty or fifty bowls, yet the cost was merely a mere Fifteen Wen.
