"Sixty-five taels of silver notes, forty-seven taels of broken silver, and three hundred and seventy taels of large coins. Today's total turnover is one hundred and forty-nine taels, excluding the costs of food, medicine, labor, etc..."
After the restaurant closed for business, Chen Xuan calculated today's profit.
"Seventy taels."
After a while, Chen Xuan came up with a rough figure.
"Not bad."
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.
Seventy taels a day, which is 2,110 taels a month.
Moreover, it is only the first day of business, so not many people know about it. As it becomes famous, business will get better and better.
In other restaurants, if business is good, they can only make three or four hundred taels in a month.
As for restaurants with poor business, they basically have signs for rent and sale.
"Two thousand one hundred taels a month, that's twenty-five thousand two hundred taels a year."
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's eyes showed excitement.
If you are safe and stable, you can earn 25,200 taels a year. Whether you are practicing martial arts, studying toxicology, or doing other things, you will have enough funds.
"Calm down, money is not so easy to make."
Chen Xuan took a deep breath to calm down.
Earning 25,200 taels a year is a stable situation.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and the uprising in Yishui County has not yet been completely suppressed. Although the garrison in Yingchuan County is suppressing bandits everywhere, they have not achieved any major victory, and chaos may suddenly break out at some point.
Moreover, if there is such a huge profit in a year, other forces in Qingshui County will be jealous, especially those who also open high-end restaurants. If their own restaurant's business is good, then other restaurants' business will naturally be poor.
The cost of opening a restaurant is much higher than opening a shop, and ordinary people cannot afford it.
Behind some restaurants are either gangs or landlords.
"Let's see who will come to our door first."
Chen Xuan decided to wait and see what happens.
In the eyes of some big shots, the patrol team is nothing.
But it was enough to scare some small gangs. The gangsters of those small gangs had no time to hide when they saw him, but they did not dare to come and provoke him. Those who dared to come must be one of the top ten forces in the city.
"How about getting a captain of the patrol team, Dangdang!"
Chen Xuan touched his chin.
The status between ordinary members of the patrol team and the captain is naturally different.
"When you come out to hang out, you need to have a background and a sense of power. It's useless if you can fight it!"
In Chen Xuan's mind, a line from a movie in his previous life could not help but pop up.
He is now a Yijin realm warrior and is eligible to compete for the position of captain.
Even if you don't become a captain, it's okay to be a deputy captain. You already have more than a dozen people under your command, and becoming a deputy captain doesn't require you to patrol every day. Basically, you just have to sit in and patrol the yamen. Compared with ordinary
Team members have more freedom.
Only when there are special tasks, you need to lead the team.
"The deputy captains of the patrol team are all full now. We will wait and see if there are vacancies."
Chen Xuan collected all the money and left the restaurant.
…
…
March 15, Tianxiang Restaurant.
A middle-aged man wearing a soap robe and carrying a long knife stepped into the restaurant.
"Master, you are here."
Seeing this middle-aged man in a soap robe, the shopkeeper of the restaurant immediately came to greet him.
This person is none other than Ling Ye, the boss behind Tianxiang Restaurant.
Looking at the lobby on the first and second floors, there were only a few scattered guests. Ling Ye couldn't help but frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Where have all these guests gone?"
When the patrol team was first established, he was the captain of the Beicheng District patrol team. Now he is the head catcher in charge of public security in the east district of the county, because at that time, only the position of head catcher in the east district was vacant.
After becoming the police chief responsible for public security in the east district of the county, he lived in the east district.
The management of the restaurant is basically left to a dedicated shopkeeper, who only comes two or three times a month.
"Going back to my employer, these guests have all gone to Jufu Tower."
The shopkeeper of Tianxiang Restaurant replied.
"Jufulou." Ling Ye frowned, and then said: "I remember, a month ago you told me that Jufulou could no longer operate and put it up for sale, and asked me if I wanted to buy it.
what's the situation?"
"This restaurant has been taken over by someone else, and it opened ten days ago." The shopkeeper said: "Jufulou now specializes in medicinal food and medicinal wine. It is deeply loved by some dignitaries and warriors, and it is full every day."
"It has only been open for ten days and it has stolen our customers. Is the medicinal food and wine really that delicious?" Ling Ye walked to the counter and said: "Bring me the account book and see how much money has been made in the past few days.
"
"What? I've only made more than a dozen taels a day these days."
Ling Ye's face was gloomy.
Tianxiang Restaurant, shopkeeper, music girl, chef, waiter... there are more than 20 people in total, and the monthly salary is a big expense. If the turnover is only a dozen taels per day, it will only be a month.
Three to four hundred taels, excluding the cost of ingredients and labor, he probably only had a few dozen taels of silver in his hands.
This little money is simply not enough for his cultivation.
In the past, Tianxiang Restaurant had three to four hundred taels of silver falling into his pocket every month, but now it suddenly dropped to only a few dozen taels. Naturally, Ling Ye couldn't accept it.
"Ask someone to go to Jufulou and pack me a copy of Jufulou's best-selling medicinal food and wine."
Ling Ye said to the shopkeeper.
"Yes, boss."
The shopkeeper responded and immediately found a waiter to handle the matter.
after an hour.
Tianxiang Restaurant, in a private room on the third floor.
Ling Ye ate the medicinal food packed back by the waiter from Jufulou.
It was really delicious, delicious, and not at the same level as the chefs at Tianxiang Restaurant.
Not only delicious, but also nutritious.
Could it be that all the guests have gone to Jufu Tower?
If he was given a choice, he would definitely choose to eat at Jufulou.
After finishing the medicinal meal, Ling Ye took another sip of the medicinal wine. The entrance was soft and fragrant, with a long aftertaste. Under the stimulation of the wine, the whole body was warm, and the vitality of the body was stimulated.
I have the urge to find a woman and vent my feelings.
"What kind of medicinal wine is this?"
Ling Ye asked, holding a bottle containing medicinal wine.
"Going back to my boss, this is the Rejuvenation Wine. The best-selling medicinal wine in Jufulou at present is the Rejuvenation Wine. It is very popular among some dignitaries. Some dignitaries buy several jars and take them home."
The shopkeeper replied.
"Rejuvenation wine." Ling Ye nodded, and then asked: "How much money do you estimate Jufulou can make every day, and who is the owner behind it?"
"I sent someone to inquire, and yesterday Jufulou collected one hundred taels of banknotes alone, and there were also various kinds of broken silver, which totaled nearly two hundred taels." The shopkeeper said: "The owner behind Jufulou
His name is Chen Xuan, and he is an ordinary member of the fifth team of the Beicheng District Patrol Team. I heard that on the day Jufulou opened, everyone from the fifth team came to support it."
"Two hundred taels a day."
Hearing this, Ling Ye's breathing became rapid.
Two hundred taels of silver, excluding the cost of ingredients and labor, can probably earn one hundred taels.
One hundred taels of silver a day is three thousand taels a month.
How could an ordinary member of the patrol team cover such a big business?
"The captain of the fifth team is called Sun Yuan?"
Ling Ye asked.
"Yes, the captain of the fifth team is called Sun Yuan."
The shopkeeper nodded.
"Send someone to invite Captain Sun Yuan."
The shopkeeper left in response. Lingye picked up the bottle of medicinal wine, poured himself a glass of medicinal wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
