Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 103 - 102: Rice Wine Hot Sale

She and Zhang Shuhua have agreed that they will buy the ingredients and cook the meals, with Zhang Shuhua only responsible for purchasing, and in the end, they will split the profits 60-40, with Zhang Shuhua getting 40 and them getting 60.

After the separation, Zhang Shuhua no longer receives a salary. She purely relies on dividends.

Even an idiot knows which choice to make in such situations. Zhang Shuhua is in need of money now, and she’s already slimmed down. The next step is making money.

After making arrangements with Zhang Shuhua, in the morning, Lin Wan rode a tricycle to buy the ingredients for the two stores, checked the accounts from the previous day with Xiao Gu, and quickly returned to the clay pot restaurant to handle the accounts.

Occasionally, she would check on the hotpot restaurant in the evenings.

"Sister Xiao Wan, the rice wine you brought last time was very popular, especially the rice wine lees, which kids loved. People who came to eat didn’t mind the cost, and everyone wanted a bowl, both men and women. It’s only been two days, and it’s already sold out," Xiao Gu reported the situation over the past couple of days to Lin Wan.

Apart from two waitstaff expressing some dissatisfaction with Xiao Gu’s work at the counter, everything else was normal, and Xiao Gu did well at the counter.

With Aunt Gui overseeing the kitchen, she was assured.

If the restaurant wants to grow, you have to learn to let go, become management, and manage people well—that’s where the real skill lies.

"Alright, I’ll ask my mom to make more rice wine and bring it back."

"And every day we have leftover dishes, now with the weather being hot, they’ll spoil by the next day. I was thinking instead of letting them spoil, why not give them to the customers?"

"Your idea is good, but it can’t be done frequently. Recently, record which dishes have the most leftovers, then reduce their quantity. You can also make less each time. Most are cold dishes, we can prepare them in the kitchen, and if any are sold out, we can make more accordingly—that should only take a few minutes."

"Hmm, I understand now."

That day, she waited especially for Li Congnan to come over and pulled him into a private room.

"So mysterious, what’s Sister Lin planning?" Li Congnan playfully raised his eyebrows at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan glared at him, saying, "I want to ask if Brother Li wants to start his own business and venture out on his own."

After all, Li Congnan is a college student, waiting two more years until graduation when a job will be assigned—a proper iron rice bowl, much more respectable than small vendors like them.

Li Congnan slammed the table with a bang. "That’s obvious, I’m already starting my own business! During my rest days, I’ve run several small shops and supply and marketing cooperatives myself. Aside from giving my family some cost money, I’ve made quite a profit from the price differences," Li Congnan said, holding back his smile, eyes brightening, "Could it be that Sister Lin has some money-making ideas?"

"I do have one," Lin Wan said, taking out the homemade grape wine she brewed a few days ago from beneath her foot and pouring a small cup for Li Congnan, "Try it, Brother Li."

Li Congnan took a sip, eyes lighting up. "Isn’t this grape wine? A client of ours sent us two bottles before. How do you know how to make it?"

"This is far from grape wine, at most it can be considered fruit wine. I also know how to make several types of fruit wine. If you decide to, how about we partner to open a small workshop?" With her current funds, she could only set up a small workshop.

"Do you really know how?" Li Congnan was somewhat skeptical.

Lin Wan chuckled, "If I didn’t know, why would I tell you this?"

Li Congnan had heard from Lin Yinghui about his sister’s story. Her college entrance exam scores were better than his, and because the family was poor, she managed to achieve so much on just a little money. This little girl is quite smart.
