Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Kissed

Twenty pressure cookers at three hundred yuan each, Chen Yu paid six thousand yuan, exchanged a few pleasantries with Xie Jiang, then moved these pressure cookers into the kitchen.

By six in the evening, all the braised delicacies had sold out, but customers still came non-stop for the fried cakes and vegetable rolls.

Moreover, the matter of Chen Yu and Tong Ya had spread among the neighbors, and everyone who came by would offer their congratulations.

By eight at night, with barely any customers left, Chen Yu called Chu Hong and the others to start closing up.

He then took out the account book and began to calculate.

Now the daily consumption of flour in the shop totaled about six thousand jin.

From the recent sales figures, the amount of flour used for fried cakes and vegetable rolls had stabilized at around two thousand jin.

The remaining amount of flour might increase as the variety and quantity of braised foods increased.

The other ingredients, such as fillings for fried cakes and vegetable rolls, solid oils, and some seasoning, totaled less than twenty thousand yuan.

After a quick calculation, Chen Yu began to order raw materials.

This time he ordered raw materials for five days straight, with just flour amounting to a whopping fifty thousand jin.

Following the calculations just now, he based the flour proportion on selling four thousand jin of braised food per day.

Adding the other raw materials and the four thousand jin of pork needed for the next day, the total cost was two hundred and ninety thousand yuan.

"Congratulations to the host for perfectly completing one day of business, today's net profit is one hundred and eighty-two thousand two hundred yuan, earning one hundred and eighty-two thousand two hundred points. The current total accumulated points are one million three hundred eighty-two thousand two hundred eighty points."

The system prompt sounded in Chen Yu's mind, but there was no longer any change in his expression.

It seemed he had grown accustomed to the voice of the system.

Counting the twenty-one thousand yuan in working capital left over from yesterday, together with today's nineteen thousand eight hundred plus yuan.

The total was over four hundred and eight thousand yuan!

After paying the cost of raw materials, he was left with over one hundred and eighteen thousand yuan.

He transferred one hundred and ten thousand yuan into the current account, and as usual, Chen Yu left himself with a reserve of over eight thousand yuan.

After briefly recording the accounts, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though he had the system to precisely calculate net profit every day, as a formal storefront, he still had to file taxes at the end of the month, so keeping a basic account book was necessary.

Before long, several large trucks rumbled up to the door.

The delivery drivers had become numb to it.

To other stores of the same size they delivered, none received more than one-fifth of what Chen Yu's shop did.

Everyone knew how prosperous Chen Yu's shop was.

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries as usual, the drivers helped with the delivery.

Even with the many trolleys Chen Yu had ready in the shop, it took over twenty minutes to finish unloading the goods.

It wasn't until eight forty-five that Chu Hong and the rest finished their staff meal and hurried back to the dormitory.

Having locked the door tightly, Chen Yu stretched his limbs and went upstairs.

Tong Ya was already lovingly holding Tuan Tuan, watching an animated film.

"Daddy, do you want to watch with us?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly, "No, I've added two thousand jin of braised food for tomorrow, I need to get to bed early tonight."

With that, Chen Yu yawned broadly and took a hasty shower before returning to his room.

But just as he lay down in bed, the door opened.

Immediately after, Tong Ya lifted his cover and slipped in.

Chen Yu's pupils dilated, "What are you doing?"

Tong Ya pouted and hugged Chen Yu tightly without concern.

"Can't I sleep holding my own husband?"

Chen Yu's head was filled with metaphorical black lines: "He's not a husband yet, he's a boyfriend!"

"What's the difference?" Tong Ya was somewhat relentless.

"We haven't reached that stage yet, be good and go back to your room!"

Sparks of light flickered in Tong Ya's eyes: "Did you just tell me to 'be good'?"

Chen Yu nodded, just about to speak, when Tong Ya suddenly sealed his lips with hers.

Chen Yu's body stiffened, and his mind went completely blank.

After kissing for a while, Tong Ya released Chen Yu with her face flushed red.

"Then I'll be good and go back to my room! Can you kiss me every night before you go to sleep?"

Chen Yu's throat moved slightly, and he subconsciously uttered a sound of agreement.

Tong Ya immediately cheered up: "Then I'm going to sleep, sending you a heart!"

After saying that, Tong Ya left the room with a sense of reluctance.

But the moment she left the room, she immediately gave Tuan Tuan a high-five.

"I got a kiss!"

She said excitedly, then carried Tuan Tuan back to her room.

At four o'clock the next morning, Chen Yu, having had a full night's sleep, washed up and went straight to the kitchen on the first floor.

He stored the previously smaller five pressure cookers in the warehouse.

Then he designated a spot in the kitchen and arranged twenty large pressure cookers in four rows.

Each cooker could hold up to sixty pounds of braised food at a time, and with twenty cookers working simultaneously, he could produce twelve hundred pounds in one go.

The only downside was that with larger pots, it took a bit longer than before. Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Producing a batch took a little over fifty minutes.

The pig heads and knuckles delivered by the suppliers were all cleaned up, so Chen Yu didn't need to waste too much time.

He cleaned the blood froth with ingredients in the large pot to remove any gamey smell, then threw in the sauce mixture straight into the pressure cookers.

It must be said that preparing twelve hundred pounds of pig heads and knuckles at once was indeed somewhat tiring.

Fortunately, by four thirty, the six girls had already arrived at the shop.

Li Yu and Su Qing were still in charge of the second floor, and for the next two or three days, Su Qing would be tirelessly preparing semi-finished rice cakes and vegetable rolls.

Chen Yu prepared the braised dishes with the help of the other four girls.

According to the plan, Chen Yu prepared four thousand pounds of braised food that day.

To be honest, he wasn't very confident about selling all the braised food.

At six in the morning, the first batch of braised food arrived fashionably late.

However, the blend of five flavors filled the air with a fragrance that immediately caused a stir in the shop.

Chen Yu was not idle either, he continued to work tirelessly on preparing the pig heads and knuckles.

Just then, a business van suddenly stopped at the door.

Tong Ming, along with an assistant, hurried into the shop.

Upon entering, Tong Ming directed his assistant to order food, while he found a small stool to sit near the kitchen.

"Little brother, I'm back!"

Chen Yu looked up and was a bit surprised.

"Old sir, didn't you go back to the capital?"

Tong Ming laughed heartily: "Well, I've just been craving the braised dishes you make! And besides, I've decided to open a new company in Suzhou City."

Chen Yu didn't say much, just smiled and congratulated him, then turned back to his work.

At that moment, Tong Ming was also captivated by the mingling aromas in the air.
