Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Casual Swipe
"Old Tong, no more talk, with this Yu Xiang chick eggs alone, let\'s kick off our cooperation we discussed before! And those proposals that have be hanging, we can sign the contracts now."
Tong Ming was a bit surprised, as he didn\'t expect Liu Chong would agree to the cooperation so easily.
Just as he was about to stand up and shake hands with Liu Chong, Liu Chong picked up the plate he had licked clean.
"But you have to promise, from now on, I can eat the dishes from here every day."
Tong Ming burst into laughter, "Of course, it\'s my son-in-law\'s place, come whever you want."
"Dad, don\'t rope my husband into your business deals!" Tong Ya said, slowly approaching with a tray holding four dishes.
Tong Ming was tak aback and seemed somewhat lost in thought.
Although he knew Tong Ya was calling him \'Dad\' in front of others to save face for him.
But that word, \'Dad\', he had waited for sev long years to hear.
"How could I not? If I don\'t mtion my precious son-in-law, people might think the Tong Family doesn\'t have a proper pillar to rely on!"
As Tong Ming said this, he seemed to get a bit carried away, appartly forgetting the tsions betwe him and Tong Ya.
Tong Ya moved closer to Tong Ming right th.
"I just heard you\'ve made a terrific deal with Uncle Liu! My husband also contributed to that, so shouldn\'t you give him a big red velope? Or at least pay for the meal."
Originally, Tong Ya wanted to make Tong Ming feel embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Tong Ming was not embarrassed at all; instead, he laughed excitedly and pulled out his credit card to give to Tong Ya.
"Here\'s Dad\'s card, feel free to use it!"
For Tong Ming, this was an excellt opportunity to repair their father-daughter relationship.
Th he turned to the others, his face full of pride.
"My daughter is fiercely protective of her food. Ever since she got a husband, she\'s forgott about her old dad. She comes here for a few free meals and ev wants me to pay up!"
Upon hearing this, the other business owners laughed and th began to complain about how their own childr were not living up to expectations.
Every time they complained, they would bring up Tong Ya and Ch Yu.
Tong Ya\'s face turned red with embarrassmt.
Not only did she not embarrass Tong Ming, she also made herself feel somewhat at a loss.
Still, she took the card, hummed restfully, and hurried back to the kitch.
To the others, this just seemed like the daughter acting petulantly in front of her father.
This meal not only led to Liu Chong and Tong Ming reaching a comprehsive cooperation, but the other business owners also extded olive branches.
Once they had signed the contracts, they got up and left one after another.
Tong Ming turned a, his face beaming as he leaned against the service window.
"You sly girl, thinking you could embarrass your old dad. You\'ve got a long way to go!"
Tong Ya turned and glared at Tong Ming restfully, "I don\'t care, the card you just gave counts as compsation for all these years, but you still have to pay for the meal!"
Tong Ming could only laugh helplessly, th turned to Ch Yu, "Son-in-law, I\'ve be getting more and more employees lately, I\'m afraid we\'ll need to increase the food orders in the cante!"
Ch Yu naturally understood what Tong Ming meant. He was throwing him an order as a way to gracefully exit the situation.
Otherwise, with Tong Ya pressing on like this, it really could be dless.
"Alright, let\'s count this order as paymt for the meal th."
Tong Ming saw that Ch Yu had understood his meaning and nodded his head in satisfaction, taking big strides as he walked away with his cane.
However, Tong Ya was still somewhat annoyed, "Husband, you\'re just too easy-going! We let him off too easily this time."
Ch Yu, feeling somewhat helpless, caressed Tong Ya\'s cheek, "Alright, help me take care of those vegetables over there."
At eight o\'clock in the eving, as the crowd gradually dispersed, Ch Yu called everyone over to eat.
The staff meal for the day was all the new items Ch Yu had made at noon.
The remaining customers who hadn\'t left were involuntarily drawn over wh they saw the staff meal.
Some ev asked Ch Yu if they were still hiring!
Not many minutes after finishing the meal, the master who delivered the raw materials had already arrived.
In the afternoon, after trying out these new products, he had roughly estimated the capacity that the existing store could handle.
He th directly ordered one week\'s worth of raw materials.
Of course, this was only limited to the fried cakes and vegetable pastries.
After all, these two items could now be made into semi-finished products and stored in the freezer warehouse.
As for the raw materials for marinated meats, Ch Yu still chose to buy them the night before.
However, this time, in addition to the daily fixed quantity of t thousand catties of pork, he increased each type of beef, lamb, donkey meat, chick legs, and duck legs by a thousand catties.
Pig, sheep, cow, and donkey offals were also ordered at one thousand catties each.
As for the others, he was not in a rush to launch them all at once; after all, there must be a gradual progress.
The beef, lamb, and donkey meat were uniformly wholesaled by the suppliers at thirty yuan per catty.
Chick and duck legs, as well as various offals, were priced at five yuan per catty.
The total cost of all the raw materials actually reached ,7,300 yuan.
After all, having ordered sev days\' worth of semi-finished fried cakes and vegetable pastries, such a high cost was within reason.
Ch Yu had paid out nearly all of today\'s turnover and ev took a bit from the currt account.
The capacity of Ch Yu\'s freezer and refrigeration warehouse had now expanded by more than three times, so there was ough space for all these items.
The staff helped move the raw materials inside and cleaned up the store, and th they greeted each other and left.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing a day of business. Today\'s net profit is 736,600 yuan, and you\'ve earned 736,600 points, with a currt total of ,068,880 points.]
Ch Yu quickly wt over the accounts in his mind. Now, he had a total of 4,050,000 yuan left in his currt account with an additional 3,300 yuan on him as a reserve.
And the points that he had almost used up were now, surprisingly, accumulated to more than two million.
At this rate, it wouldn\'t take long for him to save up t million points.
Moreover, Ch Yu roughly estimated that, probably after this week, he could practically afford to buy the store.
Just as Ch Yu was excitedly mulling this over, Tong Ya came up gtly behind him.
"I\'ve noticed that you space out here every day at this time. Are you keeping some secret from me?"
Ch Yu smiled faintly, but didn\'t answer directly.
"Are you going to jog with me today?"
"Of course!"
Tong Ya\'s topic was successfully diverted, "As a dancer, we need to maintain our body\'s flexibility every day. Daily running and training are esstial."
Ch Yu still affectionately pinched Tong Ya\'s cheek.
"Th let\'s go, get changed!"
