They were very happy to hear the order. Although it seems less than before, because Lu Jueyu made most of the orders in her space, these snacks are easy to prepare and they can earn more than a hundred yuan each person. Since Wang Muxiao couldn’t do heavy work, she was responsible for frying, while Pan Meijia helped them knead the dough.
While frying Sanzi in a brazier, Wang Muxiao asked curiously, "Jueyu, you fry using so much oil. Won’t you lose money selling fried food? What’s more, we use white flour and a lot of sugar."
After hearing her question, Lu Jueyu didn’t think her second sister-in-law was stingy at all. Because in this era, this mentality is normal.
She knew that Wang Muxiao had the talent to do business and explained, "Second sister-in-law, we are selling snacks. So, we cannot be stingy with the ingredients. Otherwise, we will not be able to stand out from so many people and earn money."
"When doing business, we cannot be blinded by profits, but need to think further. The most important thing for us is to retain customers. You know that our snacks are much more expensive than others, but we still have a lot of orders every day. Do you know why?" she asked her.
After hearing her question, not only Wang Muxiao, but Pan Meijia and others also thought about this carefully. After a long time, Chen Anwen said, "Is it because our snacks are more delicious?"
Lu Jueyu nodded in praise and said, "Eldest sister-in-law is right. So, what makes our snacks taste better than others?"
This time it was Pan Meijia who answered, "Because our ingredients are of better quality, and our cooking style and recipes are also better compared to others."
Lu Jueyu nodded and said with a smile, "Exactly. Even if we have good cooking skills and secret recipes, without high-quality ingredients, our food cannot be sold at high prices. Not to mention, our food is bought by influential and wealthy families. For them, as long as they can get delicious, exquisite food, money is not an issue."
"A rough calculation shows that our snacks tonight can be sold for about 1,500 to 2,000 yuan. After deducting the cost, we can still earn about 1,000 yuan. This amount is almost equivalent to two years’ salary of a factory manager. I think this amount is not small at all compared to the workload," she added.
After listening to her words, they found that after making money for a few days, they began to feel that they were not making much anymore. But now, they realize that what they earn in one day is equivalent to four or five months’ salary of a factory worker.
Wang Muxiao nodded and said, "I understand now. Jueyu, you are really good at arithmetic."
After hearing her words, Lu Jueyu used her husband as a shield again and said casually, "Actually, this is what my husband told me. I just followed his suggestions and still have a lot of things I need to learn."
Zhang Dongmei smiled and said, "Jueyu, I have always wanted to thank you. If you and the third brother did not give me these opportunities, my family might still be struggling to pay for our children’s tuition. Now, my family has some savings."
