“We can also explain in the receipt that if I can’t pay on time, interest will be added if it exceeds one month. If I can’t pay for three consecutive months, shopkeeper Sun can take back the shop and resell it for the money. Priority should be given to repaying the loan owed to Yah Bank, and then the rest can be distributed to me.”
In this case, Yah Bank will definitely make a profit.
Manager Sun nodded slightly when he heard this.
In the brokerage shop, funds flowed, and one hundred and forty taels of silver were paid out in exchange for 10% profit a year. The income was pretty good, and the most important thing was that there was no risk.
But…
Manager Sun said, “The girl’s suggestion is not impossible, but I still want to see what kind of business the girl wants to do, whether she can make money, and what her family background is like.”
It was true that if the other party still didn’t pay back the money, the shop could take it back, but after all, you have to wait for a while to sell it separately, which was also a troublesome thing. It was better to be safer in everything.
Check personal income to determine whether you can repay?
Manager Sun’s brain was quite alive.
Su Yujin pursed her lips and laughed, “I opened the Suji Wonton stall on the street, and the money I earn every month is enough to pay for it. To be honest, Shopkeeper Sun, I am buying this shop to turn it into a bigger business.”
“Once the wonton stall has been moved in, the business will be bigger.”
Shopkeeper Sun nodded again.
He knew the business of Su Ji Wonton Stall, and he had also tasted the wontons and fried noodles there, and they were indeed delicious.
The taste was good and the price was fair. It was inevitable for a wonton stall like this to make money.
Manager Sun thought for a while and then said, “This shop will be sold to Miss Su according to this loan method as Miss Su said. You just have to wait for me to write the receipt in two days.”
He also sent someone to inquire around to find out about Miss Su’s temperament and business, and see if she has any debts outside.
“Okay, just as Manager Sun said, when Manager Sun is done, just call me.” Su Yujin agreed.
After talking to Manager Sun about the shop for a while, Su Yujin walked back carrying the various seasonings she bought.
On the way back, she bought some more ribs.
When she got home, she cleaned up the meat, chopped it into finely minced meat, and mixed it with chopped green onions to make a meat filling.
After having breakfast in the morning, Mother Liu kneaded half a basin of flour. She originally planned to wait until she left the stall and come back to make miànbǐng1 to eat.
Two hours had passed by now, and the dough had become swollen and soft, and its volume had increased two or three times compared to before.
Pull up a ball, knead it into a round dough, roll it into a thin pancake, evenly spread a layer of meat filling, then mix the thin dough with the meat filling, stack it up layer by layer, and finally put it until oily Frying in the pan…
When the oil touched the dough, it made a sizzling sound, and the aroma wafted faintly.
Su Yujin sniffed the smell and found that it was similar to what she expected, so she turned over the qiāncéng ròubǐng in the pan.
When both sides of the qiāncéng ròubǐng2 were golden brown and the meat filling inside was cooked, it was ready to be taken out of the pan.
One, two, three…
When Mother Liu and Ai Cao came back, she smelled the aroma all over the yard and sniffed, “What did Miss do? It smells so good.”
“Try qiāncéng ròubǐng.” Su Yujin took out the last qiāncéng ròubǐng from the pan put it into a small bamboo basket with a shovel and took off her apron. “You guys came back just in time. Mother Liu will make some tofu soup and then we can start dinner.”
Mother Liu got the order and got to work quickly.
Ai Cao rushed to help.
But before helping, let’s taste the qiāncéng ròubǐng as Su Yujin just said.
Ordinary qiāncéng ròu bǐng were mostly made from dough. The dough tasted thin and crispy when you bite it. However, if the meat patties were made from yeast dough, the dough would become thicker due to the expansion and fermentation of the flour. The layers were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, giving you a richer texture.
The qiāncéng ròu bǐng made by Su Yujin was obviously the latter, but because each layer of skin was stretched thin enough, it tasted both crispy and slightly soft, and the meatloaf also tasted better. It was thick and can be said to have a full aftertaste.
“It’s delicious.” Ai Cao swallowed the qiāncéng ròu bǐng in her hand and reached out to get it again.
“Ai Cao” Mother Liu stopped her in a hurry, “Don’t be so greedy, help make this tofu soup first!”
Miss was used to being kind to the two servants, not putting on the airs of a mistress, but that didn’t mean they could disregard the rules.
When they first came back, Su Yujin was still busy, and she obviously hadn’t eaten lunch yet. How could it be that the master had not eaten yet, and they, the slaves, were greedy and full first?
Although the glutton in Ai Cao’s stomach protested, she always understood her duty. She hurriedly retracted his greedy thoughts and rolled up his sleeves to make tofu soup with Mother Liu.
Tofu and green vegetable soup was Mother Liu’s specialty soup, and it was also one of the few dishes and soups made by her that Su Yujin loved.
Tender tofu, emerald green vegetables, just the right amount of thickening. Drink a bowl while it’s hot. Even in the late fifth lunar month when the weather was already a bit hot, she felt very comfortable all over.
Especially paired with the crispy and fragrant qiāncéng ròu bǐng, a bite of the pancake and a mouthful of soup was simply a great treat.
In particular, Mother Liu was afraid that Su Yujin’s food would be monotonous, so she mixed two small cold dishes.
Cold shredded tofu, and smashed cucumber salad with garlic and peanuts.
Neither of these two flavors was particularly outstanding, but the advantage was that it was soft in the mouth, and it went well with the qiāncéng ròu bǐng and tofu soup.
Su Yujin was quite satisfied with her meal.
After lunch, Feng Shi came to the house to wash dishes and spoons.
Ever since she hired Feng Shi to work officially, she has been doing this every day as part of her job.
After closing the stall, she gathers the bowls, chopsticks, and spoons and puts them in the yard. She then goes for lunch, waits until they have finished lunch, and comes back to wash them before going back to work.
It was something that workers must do to avoid the meal time of the master’s family.
Su Yujin had a good impression of Feng Shi’s hard work in the past few days. Now because of these subtleties, she admired her more and more, so she ordered Ai Cao and Mama Liu to recruit a few more such people.
If you can buy one or two available slaves, that would be the best.
After all, in the food business, the biggest fear was the leakage of the formula. If you hold the deed of sale in your hands, you will naturally not worry about this matter.
“Miss, you don’t have to spend money. These tasks are not heavy at the moment. Old slaves and Ai Cao can handle it.”
The wonton stall was doing well and making money was relatively easy, but all this money will be used by Su Yujin in the future. Mother Liu thought about what Ai Cao said, this can save some money and give Su Yujin some foundation.
“The business will be bigger in the future. You guys will become more busy.” Su Yujin said with a smile.
Mother Liu was stunned.
Make the business bigger?
What’s the best way to make it? Add a long table and stools to the wonton stall? ——
Two days later, Manager Sun sent someone over to ask Su Yujin to go to the brokerage shop.
