1 pot could make 4 buckets of cold cakes, so 6 could make 24.
Just enough for the stall in the market tomorrow morning.
“Okay!” Liu Shi nodded with a smile.
After the four had eaten, the mother and daughter got busy again until Li Xiao came back.
Liu Shi was relieved when she learned that her son-in-law had already eaten.
“The cold cakes did not sell out. There are 3 buckets left. 1 put them in the water tank at the back of the shop,” Li Xiao said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“I’ll order a water tank tomorrow. Since we won’t go to town in the evening in the future, we won’t be able to bring the leftover cold cakes back.”
Lin Xiaoyue realized that 115 buckets of cold cakes were sold today.
That was a lot.
“One more thing.” Li Xiao said suddenly.
Lin Xiaoyue immediately looked at Li Xiao.
“In the afternoon, someone from Zuixian Restaurant came to the store and bought 6 buckets of cold cakes. The manager intends to buy from us long-term, and hopes that we will give them a good price.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
Zuixian Restaurant? That’s the biggest restaurant on Qingyun Street.
Although it was not as big as Ruyi Restaurant, it was in the top three in Qingshi Town.
“Then what did you say?” Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly asked Li Xiao.
“You promised Ruyi Restaurant that they would get the best price. So, at Zuixian Restaurant, 1 quoted them the price of 80 wen per bucket. The requirement is that they order at least 10 buckets of cold cakes every day.”
Lin Xiaoyue remembered that the price she offered to Ruyi Restaurant was 75 wen a bucket.
Selling them at 5 wen more to Zuixian Restaurant could work!
They would earn at least 800 wen in a day!
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes sparkled.
“Deal! It’s a good thing that we have big clients right after opening!”
“Our cold cakes taste good. There may be more in the future. Let me think about it and come up with a wholesale plan.” Lin Xiaoyue muttered.
Liu Shi’s Eatery was the best marketing strategy. Maybe more would approach them at the shop.
Perhaps she had to think about opening a factory.
The next day.
Li Xiao sent Lin Xiaoyue, Jiang Lamei and Aunt Wang to town.
He had to go back and forth twice.
The first time was to send them and the 20 buckets of cold cakes.
The second trip was to transport 50 buckets of cold cakes.
After delivering the cold cakes, Li Xiao rode the ox-cart to the market and handed it over to Lin Xiaoyue before leaving.
Lin Xiaoyue and Jiang Lamei returned to the eatery after selling the cold cakes.
At this time, only Aunt Wang was there.
Looking at the cold cakes left in the backyard, Lin Xiaoyue found that business was not as good as yesterday.
Together with Jiang Lamei, they helped wash the dishes and spoons, and then Lin Xiaoyue left with Jiang Lamei.
On the way, Lin Xiaoyue asked Jiang Lamei if she would also help out in the afternoon.
“In the beginning you will receive 70 wen a day. After you learnt how to make cold cakes, it will be raised to 100 wen, just like Erya.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Jiang Lamei’s eyes widened.
“So much?” She asked in disbelief.
“Not at all. You will work from morning to night every day, so it’s not easy.”
“Okay!” Jiang Lamei hurriedly said.
100 wen a day was no less than what her father earned at the town’s dock.
Her mother even said that she could keep half of the money as her future dowry.
That was 50 wen a day.
She would be able to save a lot of money working with Lin Xiaoyue..
