When it was time to turn on the lights, half of the restaurant had already closed, and the lobby was lit by candlelight.

After Nie Yunzhu counted today's income, he came over and placed the money bag in front of the table where Lin Haoran was sitting. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes like autumn water looked even more charming in the candlelight.

Red 1: Eleven!

Red 2: Nineteen!

Red 3: Twenty-five!

…

Lin Haoran held a large handful of bamboo sticks in his hand and sat at the table to sort the bamboo sticks into categories. These bamboo sticks were painted in several different colors, with different lengths, and had various numbers on them, which were related to those of later generations.

Casino chips are somewhat similar.

Liu Baozi and his wife stood aside, staring at the handfuls of bamboo sticks placed on the table, with little stars flashing in their eyes.

After a while, Lin Haoran sorted the bamboo sticks into categories, dexterously moved his fingers on the abacus a few times, then raised his head and said to the couple: "The total is thirteen taels and one hundred and thirty-five cents. You can make it yourself."

Do the math again!”

"No! No need!" Liu Baozi and his wife were extremely happy and waved their hands.

They already knew how much money they made. Excluding the money spent on buying food, that was what they earned today. Now that they could get so much, it was enough to keep them awake at night.

Lin Haoran picked up the paper, folded it and handed it to them and said: "This paper is very detailed. If you think the number is wrong later, you can find someone to calculate it in private. If there is a mistake in the number, we will make it up to you.

, we must not have any grudges due to unclear accounts, as this will be detrimental to our future cooperation."

"No! No! Master has given us such a great favor, how could we have a grudge over a trivial matter?" Liu Baozi waved his hand while his wife helped him take the paper.

Banjian Restaurant has made an innovation, which is the introduction of a later generation - the kitchen-in-house model.

Kitchen outsourcing means that the restaurant outsources the kitchen. The specific operation is to hand over the kitchen to Liu Baozi and let his team be responsible for purchasing ingredients and making corresponding dishes.

Nie Yunzhu no longer cares about the kitchen affairs and is only responsible for the daily operation of the restaurant. The two parties have reached a cooperative relationship and share the profits of each dish.

Every time a guest orders a dish, Nie Yunzhu will send the corresponding bamboo stick to the kitchen, and Liu Baozi will make the corresponding dish according to the bamboo stick, so that he can get a share of the dish.

As for the settlement, Liu Baozi took the bamboo sticks he got that day and exchanged them for money. The number of the bamboo sticks represented the dishes, and the length and color represented the price. The bamboo sticks became a tool for placing orders and settlement.

These methods and ideas naturally came from Lin Haoran, who established a cooking system that fits the characteristics of this era.

Liu Baozi was a little worried about Bao Chu Zhi at first, but after receiving the first day's share, this guy who regards wealth as his life became a god of death. Who dares to get in trouble with half of the restaurant, that is Liu Baozi

make life difficult for.

When the butcher shop refused to sell pork, he jumped at him with a kitchen knife!

Someone came to the restaurant to cause trouble, and he pounced on them with a kitchen knife!

A dog peed at the door, and he pounced on it with a kitchen knife!

…

Although the property rights of the restaurant have nothing to do with him, he treats it as his own, because the more prosperous the restaurant's business is, the more he will make.

After the settlement was settled, Lin Haoran handed over the money. In fact, Liu Baozi deserved everything.

Without Liu Baozi, who could both cook and fight, the problem of half a restaurant might not have been solved so smoothly. Today, it would still be a rotten shell with empty traffic but no way to monetize it.

If Nie Yunzhu didn't know how to choose, he still thought about the traditional model and just wanted to reap all the profits of each dish, he would only hire Liu Baozi at a super high price.

Without the endless motivation of Bao Chu, Liu Baozi would never have been able to work so hard, purchase ingredients with such ferocity, or chase the troublemakers through the streets with madness and beat them up.

That's right, this is a win-win cooperation, and there is no question of who loses and who takes advantage.

Half the restaurant needs such a Liu Baozi, and Liu Baozi takes his fair share.

Liu Baozi was about to take the money, but his hand was hit hard, but his wife caught the money and glared at him, and he giggled along with her.

Who would have thought that such a cruel Liu Baozi would be henpecked.

Liu Baozi and his wife thanked them profusely, then left happily with the meat and money.

call!

Nie Yunzhu lit the oil lamp, breathed out a breath of fragrance, and blew out the candle.

In fact, Liu Baozi and his wife are not the only ones who are happy. Nie Yunzhu can now let go of the big stone in his heart. The restaurant does not need to be sold for eighty taels, but he can still make money every day. Not only can he pay off his debts, but he can also

Qian continued to rely on his father to treat his illness.

The lights in the room were dimmed, but it made it easier for people to reveal their emotions. Those tender eyes fell on the man who was fiddling with his abacus, as if he could plan everything.

The restaurant that was about to close was saved by him in a very short period of time. Just as he said to Chen Yuanwai that day, half of the restaurant's customers came like clouds.

"After the county examination, the restaurant's business will be a bit worse, but the income is still considerable. How about we invite a shopkeeper to come back?" Lin Haoran finished his work, stood up and handed the money bag to her and said.

"It costs a lot of money to ask the shopkeeper, I'll just do it!" Nie Yunzhu said angrily as he took the money bag.

Lin Haoran was afraid that she had misunderstood something, so he explained: "I'm not saying that you are not suitable to be a shopkeeper! It's just that you have to make pastries and collect bills at the counter, which will be very tiring! Now the restaurant's business is good, it's completely

You can raise a few more people, and it actually doesn’t cost much!”

Nie Yunzhu realized that he was overthinking, so he smiled slyly and said: "Then the young master will suffer a loss here!"

"As long as there is a dividend at the end of next month!" Lin Haoran waved his hand disapprovingly.

In fact, the most important aspect of this private box system is the issue of start-up capital.

Some kitchen utensils and ingredients, as well as the purchase of drinks, are all problems that neither Liu Baozi nor Nie Yunzhu can solve. Nie Yunzhu himself is still in debt, and Liu Baozi's family is not wealthy.

Lin Haoran invested 20 taels in shares, taking 30% of half of the restaurant.

Just like this, he finally became a partner of half a restaurant from a poor scholar.

Two days later, the results of the county examination were officially announced.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition in China of literati despising each other, and there is even a saying that literati are not the first. No matter how humble and polite those scholars usually behave, they will always be disdainful of those who put pressure on them.

The case that ranked first on the list would naturally become the target of public criticism. Unfortunately, Lin Haoran was appointed as the case leader by the county official Xiao Lidao, ranking first on the list.

On the day Lin Haoran obtained the case, a lot of negative news came.

In addition to the fact that he is a complete nerd, there is also the crooked poem he wrote "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, a line of white swans fly into the sky", which has become the focus of everyone's after-dinner complaints.
