After finishing the meal and tidying up all the dishes, carts, and tables, it was already past five in the evening.
Exhausted with a sore back and aching waist, Cheng Su closed the exterior door of the restaurant before she began to tally up the day's income. As for tomorrow's vegetables, it was now too late, so she would have to go buy them early next morning.
In the box, there were plenty of banknotes as well as one-yuan bills. Cheng Su counted them one by one and bundled them into neat stacks. The final result took her by surprise.
Thirty-two yuan in total sales from fast food and individual stir-fried dishes was the gross income. After deducting costs for ingredients and labor, her net profit for the day was eighteen yuan.
She had thought that earning ten or twenty yuan would have been good, but she didn't expect to have so much as net profit—it was a pleasant surprise.
