My Children Are Fierce and Adorable! - Chapter 348 - First Day of Business
Most of them noticed that there were people entering the restaurant. Many of them were on boats on the Yuan River and had yet to land when they saw this newly opened restaurant by the river.
Amidst their surprise, they were more interested. Those who had time and money came straight here after disembarking the ship and wanted to try this special restaurant by the river.
As a result, the crowd did not stop.
It was already closed before evening. They couldn’t even do business at the night market because the ingredients prepared for the first day were all gone.
Ye Lulu thought about it and the whole family ended work early and returned to the village.
The entire family was tense from the day. They were both looking forward to it but yet, nervous and worried. Furthermore, they were tired after a hard day of work. When they returned home, everyone looked exhausted.

Old Aunt Xu watched over the three babies at home. As they were open for the first day of business today, the entire family had been mobilized. Thinking that there weren’t enough people, Ye Lulu had left Xu Huang behind so that he could stay at home with Old Aunt Xu and take care of the three babies.
They were finally home. Ye Lulu quickly took over the three babies and kissed them.
After that, it was time to analyze the situation today. Ye Lulu did not use an abacus. She took Guan Chibei’s pen and paper and occasionally wrote a few words on them. Soon, the results were out.
Today’s profits could actually reach ten taels of silver!
This was pure profit. Revenue would continue to increase. This was incredible…
Mother Rong’s legs almost went limp and she sat down. She said in surprise, “The day’s earnings could almost reach one month of the stall’s earnings?!”
Indeed, these ten taels of silver were pure profit. It didn’t sound like much at all. In the best restaurants, a dish could cost more than a hundred taels.
However, most of the restaurants in Yuan City had profits of three to five taels a day, which was enough to recoup their losses and earn some money.
In fact, many of them were really small businesses. The land was not as big as they had imagined. Most of the commoners were still very poor, and their expenditure was very low.
To be able to spend thirty copper coins to order a dish and a few bowls of rice in a small restaurant was probably the enjoyment of a family of three.
To be precise, Ye Lulu’s restaurant was called a wine shop. In the Shang dynasty, wine shops didn’t sell wine. Instead, it was the name of a type of restaurant. Its scale was between a small shop and a big restaurant, so they were known as wine shops.
Ye Lulu’s wine shop was located in the middle as well. It earned the money of the slightly richer people.
They included foreign merchants who had come from all over the world and had spare cash, small rich families in Yuan City, and rich landlords.
Of course, if those with power and wealth were interested in her wine shop, they could come over as well.
By earning the money of this group of people, the prices of the dishes would also be around the middle. They were not bad and did not lose out. There were some specialties, but there were fewer delicacies.
The dishes that Ye Lulu knew in her mind were mostly secret special dishes. To be honest, she did not know how to cook those expensive dishes at the national banquet.
Calculating the size and geographical location of the small building, this was the most suitable location. Ye Lulu followed this level.
For example, the ingredients for today’s secret braised pork knuckles, Boiled Fish, and steamed fish head with chopped peppers were not expensive, to begin with, but they still required a lot of effort. Furthermore, they were meat dishes and could still be served on the table.
Sometimes, she would even sell fresh goods from the mountains.
She had made up her mind to cook special dishes in this new restaurant.
