Tang Xiaowei''s eyes widened, and without much concern, she picked up a tbread and started to eat with chopsticks.


    "This is even better than the braised pork from Duan Fu Ji!"


    As Tang Xiaowei stuffed meat into her mouth, she praised with tears in her eyes.


    Chen Yu knew Duan Fu Ji; it was a high-end eatery in the capital that specialized in braised vors.


    Reportedly, an ordinary pound of their braised pork could sell for thousands of yuan.


    Now, including Tang Xiaowei, there were ten people in the shop.


    Chen Yu had originally thought that leaving ten pounds of braised meat might be a bit much, but now it seemed a little less than enough.


    It had to be said, the vor of the braised pork was truly exceptional.


    When Chen Yu first got the recipe for the braised pork, he felt it was quite ordinary.


    Previously, the spices he used for braising were not much different from those provided by the system.


    The only differencey in the amount and proportion of the ingredients.


    It didn''t seem like much, some ingredients were a bit more, some were less, but the taste produced waspletely different.


    "I think, even the chefs from Duan Fu Ji might not be able to achieve this vor."


    Tong Ya was also there, sighing, and she still thought that the braised pork was indeed a bit too cheap.


    By nine o''clock in the evening, everyone still leaned back in their chairs, caressing their bellies with satisfaction.


    Especially the six young girls, this was the first time in their lives they had tasted such delicious braised meat.


    "Alright, everyone tidy up and go back to rest soon, we meet here at four-thirty sharp in the morning."


    The six young girls responded and went about their business.


    After a while, the system notification sounded in Chen Yu''s mind.


    [Congrattions to the host for perfectlypleting a day of business, today''s profit is 127,500 yuan, earning 127,500 points. The total cumtive points are now 367,280.]


    Chen Yu carefully calcted today''s turnover and found that after introducing braised meat, the sales volume of fried cakes had obviously decreased.


    However, the turnover of vegetable twists increased byparison.


    This situation might only apply to today, as many people could only use vegetable twists as their staple food while eating braised pork.


    Moreover, today''s turnover also broke through to 137,500 yuan.


    Indeed, every time a new skill was unlocked, there would be a qualitative leap in turnover.


    After deducting the ten-thousand-yuan cost of buying meat and ingredients yesterday, there was roughly 170,000 yuan left in Chen Yu''s ount.


    Adding the cash from the counter and the money previously set aside for minor expenses, it just surpassed 180,000 yuan.


    Chen Yu calmed his excited heart and transferred 150,000 yuan into his current ount.


    At that moment, the six young girls tidied up the cleaning utensils and bid Chen Yu farewell, bouncing back to their dormitory.


    Chen Yu then made a phone call, just like yesterday, and ordered 1,000 pounds of pork.


    The next day, Chen Yu got up early and entered the braised pork into the ordering system.


    He then began working on his own.


    However, braising was aplete cuisine in itself, and to make all the varieties, the current manpower and shop space were far from sufficient.


    Yet with the current savings in hand, expanding into a reasonablyrge shop was simply not enough.


    Just the equipment needed for making various braised foods and specialized tools represented a significant expense.


    Plus, the cost of front-of-housebor, refurbishments, and misceneous expenses would be at least several hundred thousand yuan.


    Indeed, at this stage, making money steadily was the best strategy.


    At four-thirty, the six young girls also arrived at the shop on time.


    They were basically familiar with all the procedures, and without needing any further instruction from Chen Yu, they began to work on their own divided tasks.


    Today is Wednesday, and ording to past experience, Wednesday and Thursday are the busiest two days.


    But now with the addition of marinated dishes, perhaps things might be different.


    Tong Ya also arrived in the kitchen early today, but now she no longer had a ce of her own there.


    So all she could do was sit idly by and watch Chen Yu.


    It''s just that her smitten nces always made Chen Yu a bit ufortable.


    "Tong Ya, why don''t you sit somewhere else, ore next to me and give me a hand?"


    Tong Ya pouted, her impish charm on her face intensified.


    "Call me Ya Ya, and I''lle over!"


    Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment, this was a tant threat.


    Yet, as Tong Ya continued to gaze at him, he indeed felt ufortable.


    "Alright, Ya Ya,e over!"


    "Okay then!"


    Tong Ya immediately hopped over to Chen Yu''s side: "What do you need me to do?"


    "Bring me the white vinegar!"


    As instructed by Chen Yu, Tong Ya quickly got to work.


    Today Chen Yu had put two morerge pots to use, so they could process a little more pork at a time.


    "Oh right, there''s a dancepetition this afternoon, a student-teacher event, and both Tuan Tuan and I need to perform. Could you manage toe see it?"


    Chen Yu didn''t think much before answering, "Of course."


    After all, the shop was already on the right track, and with Chu Hong, a young girl here, he didn''t have to worry about anything.


    And judging from yesterday''s experience, they should be able to finish preparing a thousand pounds of marinated meat by three in the afternoon.


    Then they could just leave it on a low me in therge pots to keep warm.


    By then, all he would have to do is leave a few instructions with Chu Hong, assigning her as the shift leader for some light management, and the whole shop could operate on its own.


    "Then I''ll call youter, you have toe, okay!" Tong Ya emphasized once more.


    "Got it!"


    In the morning, people still mostly bought deep-fried cakes and vegetable triangles; after all, no matter how delicious the marinated dishes were, it felt a bit odd to have them for breakfast.


    Possibly because of the preparation needed for the dancepetition, Tong Ya took Tuan Tuan to kindergarten at six o''clock.


    Just as Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan had left, Zhang Fan rushed into the shop in a hurry, holding a basin in his hand.


    "Old Chen! I didn''t manage to get much marinated meat yesterday, take the opportunity now while it''s quiet to give me ten pounds! No, make it fifteen."


    Chen Yu was stunned for a moment: "Better take less! It''s just your sister-inw and the kids at home; they can''t eat that much."


    "Old Chen, you don''t know, I''ve got guests over for lunch, and your marinated meat is just perfect."


    Chen Yu waved his hand: "Thene back for it at noon. I''ll set it aside especially for you. If you take it now, you''ll still have to reheat it by lunchtime."


    "Okay, then. But for now, give me a couple of pounds to take back for eating."


    "Alright then!" Chen Yu immediately chopped off one pound of pig''s head meat and one pound of pork knuckle and handed it over.


    Zhang Fan then swiped 500 yuan: "Old Chen, I''ll pay for the ten pounds all at once, and I''lle back for the remaining eight pounds at noon."


    Byparison, today''s customer flow was a bit higher, seemingly drawn by the marinated meat.


    Moreover, today''s sales of vegetable triangles were significantly higher than the deep-fried cakes.


    If things continued this way, the vegetable triangles might sell outpletely today.


    Before noon even arrived, the four hundred pounds of marinated goods had already sold out.


    Byparison, this pace was quite a bit faster than yesterday''s.
