Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 22 Cost Calculation

    "What's that expression on your face?"

    Xing Dairong became unhappy when he saw him frowning.

    "Girl, the cost of snacks is not low. The price of brown sugar is still rising. The cost of one pound of snacks can be calculated to more than thirty cents." Kang Ping answered honestly.

    Dim sum was a rare commodity these days. The brown sugar needed for dim sum was shipped from the south, and the price fluctuated greatly, ranging from a dozen to more than twenty wen. In the capital, the richest place in the country, the monthly salary of an ordinary restaurant waiter was only two to three qian of silver, or two or three hundred wen. How many ordinary people could afford dim sum?

    As soon as he enters the store, he is asked to fill up his table with such expensive snacks, which will definitely make him lose money!

    "What do you know? Who only eats snacks at a buffet?" Xing Dairong frowned, looking as if he disliked his petty behavior.

    Cheng Yunshuo, who was standing next to her, just smiled at her lively appearance and said lovingly, "Just listen to Dai Rong."

    Kang Ping stopped talking and nodded to take note of the assignment.

    On the other side, Xing Dairong continued walking inside and soon reached the cold dish area she requested.

    There were a total of twelve large porcelain bowls of cold dishes, each with a name on the front.

    There are boiled fennel beans, boiled edamame, boiled peanuts, boiled lentils, cold eggplant, cold bean sprouts, cold tofu, boiled radish, cold lettuce, cold spinach, cold cabbage, and cold winter mallow.

    There are also various staple foods such as steamed sweet potatoes, steamed pumpkins, steamed buns, and steamed brown rice.

    Xing Dairong looked at so many cold dishes and staple foods and nodded with satisfaction. "You just said that the cost of dim sum is high, so doesn't this lower the cost of cold dishes? Buffets are supposed to be about eating everything, not just the expensive ones. You are narrow-minded."

    Kang Ping: “…”

    He has a narrow vision. Not to mention that the cost of these cold dishes is not low, even if you ask people to eat as much as they want, regardless of whether it is meat or vegetables, people really only eat good and expensive food. Who would eat cheap food?

    How many people can have enough food to eat in this era?

    They soon arrived at the meat area. According to Xing Dairong's request, in addition to the common braised pork with pork belly, pig trotters, fried meat, roast chicken and roast duck, a novel barbecue had to be added.

    The mutton and pork that have been marinated in advance are skewered into large skewers and roasted over a fire. After sizzling with oil, they are added with hot sauce and cumin, a niche western condiment that is specially found, making the aroma overflow.

    This barbecue really opened Kang Ping's eyes. When he heard about barbecue, he thought that their restaurant could introduce this dish as a signature dish, improve the taste, and go for a sophisticated route, which would definitely win over upper-class diners.

    But who would have thought that Xing Dairong asked him to carry out a comprehensive reform and treat barbecue as a category, which suddenly caused his costs to double.

    The price of meat is already high, and they also set up a buffet model with no limit on the number of people and quantity. This will definitely make them lose everything.
