Chapter 21: Chapter 19: Starting on a High Note (Seeking Favorites and Recommendations!)_1

Spent the entire day in the shop.

The novelty of it was slowly wearing off for Tang Qing.

What remained...

was the three brothers of boredom, boredom, and boredom, who only seemed to amplify his ennui.

In order to avoid creating responsibilities for himself, Tang Qing decided to come to the restaurant less often. At most, he'd stop by for a meal or just a short visit, but he'd never stay through lunch and dinner; it was simply too noisy, crowded and uninteresting.

So, he decided, happily.

Eleven o'clock at night.

The final wave of customers had been seen off.

The waitstaff began tidying up the restaurant.

Zhang Jing was meticulously calculating today's revenue. Every bill had a receipt, one copy for the front desk and one for the kitchen, to be tallied separately. This way, everyone was free of suspicion.

Zhang Jing was in charge of double-checking the front desk's receipts.

Li Jianguo's relative was in charge of double-checking the kitchen's receipts.

Strict division of duties.

If everything added up in the end, no problems would arise. All receipts were numbered, and the numbers were recorded in a small notebook during verification. Any discrepancies could be quickly identified.

About ten minutes later...

Zhang Jing had finally calculated today's revenue.

Li Jianguo was standing nervously nearby. It was natural for him not to personally clean up the kitchen. After cooking the final dish, he had spent time with Tang Qing in the main hall, cracking sunflower seeds.

They chatted and watched TV.

As for Li Kai...

The poor guy was still being supervised by his father as he did his homework, lifting his head from time to time to cast a resentful look at Tang Qing. In that moment, he suddenly felt a strange urge to get 'injured' too.

Unfortunately...

Remembering that it would hurt...

He immediately stopped entertaining such wicked thoughts.

"The revenue is out. We've made a total of nine thousand five hundred and sixty yuan." After confirming the accuracy of the calculation with Zhao Ping, Zhang Jing excitedly brought the revenue statistics over.

Tang Qing didn't look at the sheet Zhang Jing was holding.

He trusted her. Besides, she had calculated twice, reducing the need to double-check it. Upon seeing Tang Qing's lack of reaction, Li Jianguo felt it inappropriate to take a look either, although he was excited about this auspicious start.

He was aware...

that most of the credit belonged to the young man across the table.

He was talented, that was undeniable...

However, in the past, that talent could only be utilized on a small scale, starting with too low a base, and being a lone player was tiring. If he were to open a restaurant on his own, as per his original plan, he'd have to handle everything inside and outside the restaurant by himself.

Now, his starting point was high...

He had a large venue...

This made him deeply understand how necessary it was to have a strong business partner.

He realized why big shots preferred to do business in partnership. Even though they could manage businesses alone, they still chose to bring more people on board for resource sharing and risk sharing.

Of course...

This was more applicable to larger-scale businesses.

For small-scale businesses that involved just a few individuals, going solo would be a better option.

This revenue...

Tang Qing was quite satisfied with it.

There were thirty tables of various sizes in the main hall. Thanks to the spacious restaurant entrance, they later added six more tables. Upstairs were nine private rooms, one of which was a super large twenty square meters room.

A total of forty-five tables.

Lunch and dinner.

Considering an average turnover rate of a little over twice per table, combined with the 50% discount offered as part of a promotion, the average customer's expenditure was a little over a hundred yuan. As for those who spent only sixty or seventy yuan on a meal, they were the minority. fгeewebnovёl.com

Based on these calculations, this income was not low for the time.

However, today was a Saturday...

There were more people dining out, but the real test of performance would be the following week.

Tang Qing was very excited.

He was curious to know his return on investment at the end of the month. Since they were not planning to expand the business, they decided to share the dividends monthly, with only a portion of the purchase funds left in the account.

As for the money...

Besides a small amount kept in the restaurant overnight, they had agreed that Li Jianguo would take the rest home. Whether he chose to keep it at his house or deposit it in the bank was up to Li Jianguo.

Regardless, when the money was handed over, signatures would be exchanged.

In short...

Everything seemed to be on track now.

"Uncle Li, I think I'll head home now. I'll come by again next weekend. If there's any issue, just text me, and I'll reply as soon as possible." Seeing that he had nothing to do, Tang Qing prepared to return home.

He had stayed until now just to wait for the final revenue figures.

Earlier, around seven...

He had phoned his Uncle and informed him he would be late. He hadn't expected to be this late, though. His aunt had called him multiple times to urge him to get home. After all, he had never returned home this late before; his Uncle and Aunt were quite worried.

"Alright, I'll take you." Hearing this, Li Jianguo stood up ready to send him off. Tang Qing didn't refuse. At such a late hour, Li Jianguo wouldn't feel at ease without seeing his ill friend safely into a car.

"Jing and Zhao, keep up the good work. Depending on the circumstances when payday comes at the end of the month, there could be a bonus in it for you." Tang Qing stood up and smiled at Zhang Jing. He knew the importance of giving encouragement where it was deserved.

Otherwise, how could he fulfill his role as a boss.

Li Jianguo saw Tang Qing into the taxi.

Sitting in the cab.

Tang Qing was lost in thought.

This was the first business of his own, his life finally seemed to be on track. He could slightly make up for past regrets and fulfill the dreams he had not completed in his former life, protecting the people he loved...

Arriving under his uncle's apartment building.

Seeing the lights in his uncle's apartment and the faint shadow of a person by the living room window, he knew it was his uncle. His uncle, always busy all day, would always be asleep by this time unless there was something urgent that kept him away.

Otherwise, he would have been asleep already.

Tang Qing felt his eyes well up with moisture.

It's good to have family, even better to have a loving family member.

"Tangtang, you're finally back. Your uncle hasn't slept because he was waiting for you." When he got to the door, before he had a chance to take out his key, the door opened from inside. His aunt smiled as she spoke.

As for her nephew coming home so late.

She was very worried, so she waited with her husband.

"Today was an exceptional day, my friend's family opened a new store, the business was too good, so I helped with collecting money. This shouldn't happen again." Tang Qing repeated the explanation he had given on the phone.

Caring from family members.

One should never find it annoying.

"That's good, go wash up and sleep. Your sister and the others didn't go to bed long ago, and we're planning on going to bed too." Seeing Tang Qing returned, his Aunt also prepared to sleep.

"Uncle, sorry to have worried you."

Tang Qing apologized to his uncle who was sitting on the sofa and smoking.

"Good that you're back. I don't mind you helping out, but do it during the day. Don't do it during the night, especially when it's so late." His uncle took a gentle puff of his cigarette and gently advised Tang Qing.

"Alright, uncle. I've been reading all day, I'm going to wash up and go to bed." Tang Qing nodded.

"Go ahead." Qin Yugang took the last puff and put out his cigarette.

After washing.

Tang Qing turned off the lights.

Lying in bed looking at the ceiling, the night light casting a glow into the room, and the occasional sound of insects chirping, filled Tang Qing's heart with a sense of peace. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction. Before long, Tang Qing was fast asleep.

...

The following week.

The popularity of the restaurant relieved Tang Qing.

He was worried that the change in location would cause some issues, but everything seemed unchanged. The larger and more luxurious restaurant, coupled with Li Jianguo's superb cooking skills, attracted an exceptionally large number of customers.

The ground floor was manageable.

After a few days, the upstairs private rooms were all booked a day in advance. Even after imposing a minimum spending limit, it did nothing to dampen customer enthusiasm.

And now Li Jianguo was experiencing both pain and joy.

Compared to his previous small restaurant, this place was undoubtedly busier.

The largest restaurant he had previously owned was only over a hundred square meters. Now, the size has increased several times. Luckily, he was responsible for cooking the complex dishes while his apprentices handled the simple ones.

In comparison, it was only a tad bit busier than before.

However, his cooking skills were rapidly improving.

The more focused, the more professional.

After one week.

On the twenty-fourth.

When Tang Qing visited the restaurant once again, due to the end of the discount period and an increase in customers, the sales for the previous day had reached over thirty-three thousand dollars, which surprised Tang Qing.

Forty-five tables.

Averaging seven hundred and thirty dollars' turnover per table. With an average of two turnovers during lunch and dinner, even the customers who miss the rush hours were counted.

The average consumption per customer was only about one hundred and eighty dollars.

Of course.

This was the overall average. Naturally, the ground floor alone made about one hundred and twenty-three dollars, while the upstairs private rooms were the real money makers, with spending reaching up to four or five hundred or even a thousand dollars.

This still excluded the sales of alcoholic beverages.

If we included alcohol.

An upstairs meal would cost at least a hundred, sometimes even up to a thousand dollars.

Alcoholic beverages are generally not as profitable, especially for well-known brands. The profit for end sales is low, so it wasn't accounted for in the turnover. After all, alcohol profits are never higher than food profits

How much could be earned this month?

Tang Qing was looking forward to it.

However, he would only know by Sunday the thirty-first.

He would ask Zhang Jing to add up the total then.

By that day, he planned to distribute the wages, calculate the total revenue, follow the usual practice of not withholding half a month's wages at the beginning of the month, and, given the good business, share some benefits.

Everyone works hard to make money.

The restaurant was thriving, and he wasn't worried about people quitting.
