Chapter 227 I'm Not Doing It for Money
Jiang Xiyu blushed unconsciously when she heard this.
Of course he doesn't need the recovery soup, he doesn't have a princess.
Gu Yunling spread her hands helplessly, "They all come to ask me for it, and you tell me where I have it, so I let them go to Yunxi Restaurant to buy it. Guess what?"
Jiang Xiyu was really curious, "What happened?"
Gu Yunling raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "Today's Fu Yuan Soup and Fu Rong Porridge are all reserved. I heard from Shopkeeper Ji that they were all ordered at the hour of Mao."
Jiang Xiyu was surprised. "All the reservations are already taken at 11:00 AM. Is our restaurant open so early?"
Gu Yunling said helplessly, "We don't serve breakfast, so we don't need to open so early, but we can't resist the enthusiasm of these diners!"
Jiang Xiyu thought that Fuyuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge would sell well, but she didn't expect them to sell so well.
It seems that twenty servings a day is really too little, but her medicinal herbs really can't be sold freely.
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and said, "This won't work. They've already booked all the meals at Mao Hour today. Who knows, they might come to book at Yin Hour tomorrow, or even Chou Hour or Zi Hour later. Don't the people in our restaurant need to rest? Shouldn't we be there to help them order meals at any time?"
Jiang Xiyu's words reminded Gu Yunling, "That's true. Too many people didn't order the Fu Yuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge this morning. I guess they'll order even earlier tomorrow, and even earlier in the future. What do you think we should do? We can't just sell them freely."
In fact, Gu Yunling still hopes to sell Fu Yuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge in her heart.
First of all, such a good medicinal food, she really hopes that everyone can try it, so that they can know how great their Yunxi medicinal food is!
Secondly, there are so many people who like Fu Yuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge. If they sell them freely at 50 taels per portion, how much more money will they make? Who would complain about having too much money?
Jiang Xiyu knew what Gu Yunling was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't even think about selling it to you. There simply aren't enough herbs."
"I know." Gu Yunling sighed regretfully.
There are not enough medicinal materials, and we lost a lot of money.
Jiang Xiyu knew that Gu Yunling wanted to make money, and of course she also wanted to earn this money.
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and said, "Well, if these nobles still come to you, you can tell them that the medicinal food prepared by the kitchen is sold out very early every day. The restaurant has a rule that only twenty servings of Fu Yuan Soup and Fu Rong Congee can be sold each day. But you can ask me to make it for them myself, but I have to pay double the price."
The Fuyuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge are selling well, so we will definitely make some money from them, but we can never sell them freely because we don’t have enough medicinal materials.
Gu Yunling's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped the table excitedly, "That's a good idea. If you make it yourself, it will taste just as good, so selling it at double the price won't be expensive at all. But it will be hard work for you, and do you have enough herbs?"
It’s still okay now, but when the fame of Fuyuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge spreads, there will definitely be many people who will use various connections to come to her and ask for Fuyuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge.
Don’t worry that there won’t be enough medicinal herbs to sell by then.
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and said, "Of course, we can't sell unlimited. Aunt Wei and I don't have enough time to make them. We can only accept 20 servings of Recovery Soup and Hibiscus Porridge at most. We can't make more than that, and we won't have enough herbs. If we just make 20 servings of Recovery Soup and Hibiscus Porridge, the herbs should be enough."
Gu Yunling nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, the income from the recovery soup and lotus porridge you made yourself will not be included in the restaurant's account. You can keep it separately."
Jiang Xiyu frowned suddenly, "How can this be possible? No matter who did it, these must be counted in the public account..."
Before Jiang Xiyu could finish her words, Gu Yunling raised her hand to stop her. "Don't be so hasty to refuse. This is something I've carefully considered. From now on, no matter what kind of medicinal food I ask you to make, you will set the price. Each serving must be at least one hundred taels of silver. For example, I'll ask my sister-in-law and the emperor's aunt to make medicinal food, as well as Gulin's deer glue porridge, to pay you for them in the future."
Gu Yunling was anxious and waved her hands quickly, "No, no, I'm not doing this for money..."
Before Jiang Xiyu could finish, Gu Yunling raised her hand again, "I know you're not doing this for the money. I asked them to give you the money not because you need it, but because it can prove your worth. Of course, your worth is far beyond what this money can prove, but it can reflect the value of you and these medicinal foods."
What Gu Yunling said made a lot of sense, and Jiang Xiyu was speechless.
Gu Yunling continued, "Just do as I say. From now on, any medicinal meal you prepare individually, no matter what it is, will be charged as silver. These will be put on your own private account and will not be used from the Yunxi Restaurant's public account."
Jiang Xiyu was still uneasy. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, we can split the smuggling account 40% to 60%."
If I split it in half, she will definitely not agree, so let's split it 40% to 60%. Anyway, if I ask her to take it all, she will definitely not feel at ease.
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Gu Yunling said helplessly, "This is 19 points."
Jiang Xiyu was about to speak again in a hurry, but Gu Yunling stopped her again, "It's 190%. The 10% is my introduction fee. I'll only take 190% of the recovery soup and lotus porridge. I won't take the 10% of the other medicinal dishes."
Jiang Xiyu pursed her lips, disagreeing with Gu Yunling's plan, but Gu Yunling made the final decision, "Just do as I say. If you don't agree, I won't take even a cent."
Jiang Xiyu was helpless.
Gu Yunling didn't give her a chance to refuse and changed the subject, "What do you think you can do about these customers coming in at dawn to buy the Fu Yuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge?"
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's set the opening time. It should open at noon, and only orders can be placed after noon."
Gu Yunling raised an eyebrow. "You know what, it's a good idea. No matter what time they come to order, we won't be open anyway. Even if they want to order, they have to come at noon."
The store is so busy right now, everyone is busy. They finally get to rest at night, and they can't be disturbed again.
The more Gu Yunling thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed. "Then let's arrange it this way. After the three-day opening, I'll have them post a notice. For the remaining two days, I'll have them work harder."
She didn't want to make any changes during the three days of opening, so she just let them work hard for three days.
Jiang Xiyu nodded and also felt that there should be no changes during the three days of opening.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Gui's Mansion.
As soon as Gu Yunling and Jiang Xiyu got off the carriage, the doorman ran up and asked, "Princess, how come you have time to come back today?"
Gu Yunling glared at him, "Why? This princess can't come back?"
The doorman quickly smiled and said, "I heard that Yunxi Restaurant has reopened and business is booming. I knew you must be very busy. If I had known you were returning home today, I would have gone directly to the Ningguo Mansion to greet you."
Gu Yunling was amused by him. "You are quite good at talking. This is the wife of Marquis Yonglin."
