Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Preparations for Constructing a Winery (2)_1

Mo Yan had not expected the first day of business to be so good, being able to sell so much. She silently calculated in her heart and discovered, after deducting the cost of ingredients, that the net profit was nearly Five Hundred Wen!

Upon revealing this figure, Mo Wu’s eyes widened in surprise, staring at Mo Yan as she stuttered, "Yan girl, there’s that much? Could, could there be a mistake in the calculation?"

It was no wonder that Mo Wu found it hard to believe; she couldn’t fathom that the small stall could earn nearly as much Silver Coin as a laborer’s monthly wage from toiling away in the city.

Understanding her feelings, Mo Yan smiled and said, "Aunt Mo, the figure is correct and there’s no mistake. If you don’t believe it, you can calculate it again yourself!"

The most expensive items were the ingredients for pancake fruit, big pancakes rolled with eggs, and spicy paste soup, like the eggs, stewed meat, and cured meat as fillings.

An egg cost One Wen money each, a piece of dough with greens, green onions, sauce, and half a stick of fried dough at most One and a Half Wen, and with other non-vegetarian dishes and meat, about One Wen money. The cost of a non-vegetarian pancake fruit was approximately Three and a Half Wen, but it sold for Six Wen each; big pancakes rolled with eggs were slightly simpler in ingredients and sold for Five Wen Money each on average. Although the price was not as high as pancake fruit, the cost was lower, resulting in a relatively higher profit; spicy paste soup cost Two Wen money a bowl, and a large pot of it could sell for forty or fifty bowls, yet the cost was merely a mere Fifteen Wen.

Mo Wu did not doubt Mo Yan; it was just that the Silver Coin earned far exceeded her expectations, and she found it somewhat unbelievable. Seeing Mo Yan’s confident assertion, she was overjoyed and didn’t know how to react!

She excitedly held Mo Yan’s hand, thanking her in a flustered manner, "Yan girl, thank you... it’s all thanks to you... Aunt Mo doesn’t know how, how to thank you properly..."

Mo Yan shook her head and gripped her hand in return, saying, "If anyone should be thanking, it’s me thanking you. I have a share in this small stall, and if you didn’t do it, I wouldn’t have been able to earn this Silver Coin. From now on, the business of our stall relies entirely on you to manage it, so I really can’t accept your thanks."

Mo Wu’s eyes moistened; how could she not know that her cousin niece was trying to comfort her, letting her know that there was no burden on her? She understood very well that despite Mo Yan’s dislike of her in-laws, she consistently helped their senior branch out of a desire to repay the care she had once shown to her three siblings and herself.

But the cousin niece had helped her too much, and the little favor she owed had long been repaid. It was only because of her cousin niece’s kind and loyal heart that she took such good care of them. With such a money-making stall, it wouldn’t be long before her own little family would be doing well. There would be no more worrying about her son lacking a house to get a wife or her daughter lacking a dowry and being looked down upon by her in-laws. With such a great kindness, she truly did not know how to repay it!

Mo Danier, like her mother, was a girl who knew gratitude. Hearing her mother’s words, she too looked at Mo Yan with deep admiration. Although she didn’t say a word, anyone with eyes could understand the meaning behind them.

Mo Yan couldn’t bear the mother and daughter looking at her as if she were a benefactor, so she quickly changed the subject, "The first day of opening our stall started with a stroke of good luck; it’s a good omen! When our name gets out in a few days, even if the business isn’t as good as today, it won’t be much worse. By that calculation, we’ll be able to earn quite a bit of Silver in a month!"

The mother and daughter indeed shifted their attention and silently calculated for themselves. The outcome of their calculation left both of them shocked: If they could make Five Hundred Wen a day, wouldn’t they earn Fifteen Taels of Silver in a month?

Fifteen Taels of Silver! Even if they could only keep half of it, that would be Seven and a Half Taels of Silver, and over a year that would accumulate to eighty or ninety Taels. By then, not to mention building a mud-brick house, even constructing a large blue-brick tiled house would be feasible and getting four or five wives for a son (brother) would be more than enough!
