Chef Zhang went back in to work while Gu Chunzhu stopped Sister Gui's work for a while and asked, "Sister, is there any left over food or vegetable?"

Unfortunately she gave it to someone else so she replied helplessly: "I've given it away, I'll keep it for you the next time you come."

Gu Chunzhu also nodded understandably, she could not bargain everytime she came here.

It was busy in the front store so the shopkeeper didn't immediately pay her. Gu Chunzhu helped Sister Gui clean the dishes and do some kitchen work. They talked while doing so the time passed quickly.

After Chef Zhang was done in the back kitchen, he brought a boy with an abacus over.

"The river shrimps are still 60 coppers a barrel while the little bunnies will cost you 15 coppers more than the last time." Chef Zhang said as the little guy's abacus beads made a "click" sound.

The price of the little bunnies were one third higher than the last time. When Gu Chunzhu heard Chef Zhang's offer, her eyes bent like a crescent moon. This time, it totaled two hundred and twenty-five coppers

After deducting the 90 coppers for the shrimp collection, this trip made a net profit of 135 coppers!

After hitting the abacus beads several times, the young man reported the same number as Gu Chunzhu thought then the boy went to the shopkeeper to collect the money.

At this moment the sun is high and she was sweating.

Gu Chunzhu sat on the small stool while waiting. Sister Gui came out of the kitchen and quietly stuffed her an oiled paper bag with a bitten steamed bun.

"This steamed bun is a leftover from a previous guest, it's still hot. If you break the bitten part, it won't be dirty. This oil-paper bun contains braised pork. It was deducted from the food delivery today. It's clean!" Sister Gu whispered on Gu Chunzu's ear.

Gu Chunzhu was informed about the secret in the kitchen.

Every time the food is delivered, there would be a little a deduction and neither the shopkeeper nor the guests know it.

Unexpectedly, Gui shi was so kind to her. Gu Chunzhu took out the piece where the steamed bun had been bitten and threw it into the swill bucket and ate it with a big bite. As for the remaining buns in the oily paper bag, she handed them back to Sister Gui

She learned from their chat just now that Sister Gui's husband is sick all year round and the family relies on her to make money alone. It was very difficult to make a living.

"Don't be too polite on me. I can buckle down every day and take some back. Sometimes, there are picky guests and will not eat a whole dish so we take some home."

Sister Gui exaggerated about what she said, guests of such are few

Gu Chunzhu couldn't refuse, so she could only wrap the remaining buns in the oil paper in her arms. It was as warm as Sister Gui's kindness.

"Eat!" Chef Zhang stepped out of the kitchen with money on his hand.

"Well, Chef Zhang, I saw that little sister-in-law was hungry so I gave her a steamed bun left by the guest." Sister Gui explained.

Chef Zhang waved his hand to indicate that it was a trivial matter.

"It's settled so quickly, thank you Chef Zhang." Gu Chunzhu didn't dare to eat more, she stood up holding the steamed bun and took the money from Chef Zhang's hand.

A total of two hundred and twenty-five coppers!

Chef Zhang was holding his hands behind his back: "count it, if there's no problem, I will go to back work."

"No problem." Gu Chunzhu didn't count, at a glance she estimated that its the exact amount. Such a big restaurant will definitely not let her suffer. ,

Hearing what Gu Chunzhu said, Chef Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and before turning to leave, he instructed: "Come back next time and try if you can get more pheasant, we have a shortage this winter ."
