Fu Yu, delighting in his earnings, watched as his account balance skyrocketed from 60,370 yuan to 220,370 yuan.
The sensation was downright adrenaline-pumping!
Yao Shi was dumbfounded.
He clearly rembered that Fu Yu had previously ntioned he arranged herbal als for Wang Xueli twice a week.
160,000 yuan for two months?
10,000 yuan for one al?
This, this...
Yao Shi calculated Fu Yu's pricing and suddenly found it hard to breathe!
Damn!
No wonder they say the pupil surpasses the master!
In his day, the biggest rip-off he managed was charging a wealthy client 28,000 yuan for a banquet.
How did this kid Fu Yu dare!
Yao Shi took a deep breath, unable to resist asking, "Xiaofu, were you talking about the service fee for the herbal als just now?"
Fu Yu nodded and explained, "I initially planned a herbal al course for two months at 160,000 yuan. I intended to collect the paynt after she tried a few als, but Ms. Wang thought my herbal als were very professional, so she wanted to pay in advance."
"Afraid that I wouldn't accept the money, she transferred it to Liu Yici to pass it on to ."
A custor giving money, yet afraid it wouldn't be accepted?
These words forced Yao Shi to calm himself down.
Perhaps... Maybe... I've truly beco the old wave, crashed onto the shore, unknowingly!
Seeing that Fu Yu had already handled the herbal al pricing clearly, Yao Shi felt completely relieved.
However, at the sa ti, he was extrely curious about the herbal als Fu Yu was making.
If a al could be sold for 10,000 yuan, how on earth was the herbal al prepared?
Yao Shi didn't ask Fu Yu directly.
Instead, he went back to the music restaurant the next day.
He gathered a few people from the back kitchen and held a eting with them.
The main point was to remind them to keep their lips sealed about the cooking thods Fu Yu used for the herbal als.
After all, it's a money-making recipe, almost like a secret formula.
Zhang Zhen and the others understood imdiately, hastily assuring they wouldn't look when they shouldn't or speak out of turn.
Yao Shi trusted these few people, but so things are better said upfront.
Zhang Zhen, being a savvy guy, after hearing Yao Shi, turned to brief the two head chefs and several key cooks individually.
No one in the back kitchen was foolish.
With the boss making it clear, who would dare leak the recipe? Their future here would be ruined.
So everyone silently agreed.
They would absolutely not reveal a single word about Fu Yu's ingredients or cooking thods for the herbal als.
Zhou Yesheng, who was assisting Fu Yu, was called into the office for a private talk by Yao Shi after the eting adjourned.
Facing his own boss, Zhou Yesheng was still a bit restrained, sitting upright on the sofa, listening to Yao Shi's questions earnestly.
"Xiaozhou, tell , what dishes are included in Fu Yu's herbal als, and how are they specifically made?"
Zhou Yesheng hurriedly detailed everything.
When he ntioned the Eight Treasures Cake, Yao Shi showed a look of surprise.
He had purchased the Eight Treasures Cake before, back then it was to show respect to his mother-in-law.
But he had bought the kind that needed to be mixed with water.
He had never seen the type made by Fu Yu, which could be eaten directly.
Regarding the Bamboo Shoots with Braised Sea Cucumber, Stead Ginseng Chicken, and Ginseng Date and Astragalus Porridge.
Even though neither Qianlima nor the music restaurant had these dishes, the nas alone suggested they were straightforward, with no complicated cooking techniques.
Yet, it was these simple als that Fu Yu managed to sell at a high price!
How on earth does this kid do it?
...
After reporting to Yao Shi, Fu Yu felt he should keep a low profile, but he couldn't wait to go back to his dorm after finishing work. He clocked out and dragged Zhao ng to the side street for Old Liu's Barbecue.
Fu Yu directly told Zhao ng about Wang Xueli's herbal al subscription, including his pricing of 160,000 yuan for two months.
Fu Yu felt the price was reasonable because Wang Xueli really wasn't short of money, and his skills were indeed professional; both sides agreed, with no need to hide anything.
Zhao ng listened attentively, and after a mont of silence, he responded crisply, "Since you've already set the price and paynt thod, you should stick to this standard for pricing in the future. Fu Yu, although this herbal al counts as doing business, it's different from other businesses, or at least, different for now."
"If it develops well, you surely won't lack clients, so you must have your own rules, especially the pricing, which can't be easily changed."
"Otherwise, once you start down that road, you won't be able to stop."
Fu Yu said, "I understand."
Zhao ng nodded, "As long as you understand what I an. Bei'an, this small town isn't very big, the population isn't large, so if you give one custor a discount at the beginning, it'll be hard to stick to your original pricing later on. Rember, never believe anyone who promises they won't tell others."
"After all, everyone has vanity. They might not intend to leak it, but sotis they can't control their mouths, possibly to show off, or for other reasons. Once the matter spreads, it won't be sothing they can control."
"The sa goes for paynt thods. Do you know how many people in the industry are burdened by debt and can't get back on their feet?"
"I suggest you have a clear rule for paynt thods, not just regarding ti. If necessary, it would be best to use formal contracts to record it."
"Since you're doing business, it's not a bad idea to assu the worst intentions from your custors. After all, only by planning ahead and preventing all possible conflicts in advance can you save yourself trouble down the road. With detailed contract requirents, you'll also push yourself to do your best."
"However, the most important thing is, no matter how much you want to earn that money, you must have your own bottom line. Sotis, it's better not to do the business or make that money than to break your own rules."
Zhao ng earnestly said, "You have to know, after one custor leaves, there will be another. But if your rules are broken and your bottom line is crossed, it's almost impossible to patch it up again."
"Don't look at like I've never run a business, but when it cos to taking private jobs, I was already thriving while you were still playing with clay!"
After listening to Zhao ng, Fu Yu felt extrely relaxed.
His relief ca from Zhao ng's attitude towards him taking private jobs.
If Zhao ng didn't object, then he could go ahead and pursue it in the future.
On the way back that day, Zhao ng solemnly said, "Chef Yao is definitely worth befriending. Don't worry, if you really develop well, within Bei'an, no one would dare cheat you out of your money."
"You're still too young to see through people, but rember this: as long as you're professional enough, do exceptionally well, and have pride in your craft, no one will dare bully you."
Fu Yu nodded, "I understand, don't worry."
