I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 1084: Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Eight: A Fortunate End Chapter 1084: Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Eight: A Fortunate End He had often been reprimanded by Brother Tian for his swordsmanship, but he knew that none of those lessons had been delivered with real anger. However, the lesson he was receiving now was definitely given in a fit of rage, as the more than two hundred pounds of him stood frightened stiff, not even daring to breathe heavily, his pitiful appearance making Brother Tian hold his forehead.

“Alright, alright, stop playing the pity card!” Brother Tian chided lightly, “I didn’t create this thing to start a business, but if you want to try your hand at it, I can give you the recipe. You can weigh the options and run it yourself. Just don’t stir up the chefs at Yunlai Inn—those people have families to feed. If they stray off path, they could ruin everything!”

“Eh? Brother Tian, weren’t you doing this to start a business?” It was only then that the fat man realized he had misunderstood and sulkily said, “What’s the point then? How much money can brine sell for? You have to procure ingredients every day, remove the gamey taste, and mix the marinade. It’s exhausting and only earns a small amount, it’s better to just stay in Yunlai Building, really boring!”

“You weren’t saying that just a moment ago!” Seeing the fat man’s lazy attitude, Brother Tian laughed and scolded, “Also, don’t underestimate the business of brine. If done well, you can earn as much as any restaurant!”

“How much can these trifles earn.” The fat man waved his hand dismissively, “The brine needs to be nurtured. Just to maintain the base brine could take years, and even once it has matured, you can’t make more than two pots of brine a day. Not to mention pig offal, even if you were dealing in prime cuts of meat, you wouldn’t process more than a hundred pounds a day. How much could you earn from that?”

“Hmm, the kitchen has made quite some progress over the years, you can estimate the output with just a glance. You do have a bit of the old master’s style with these small calculations.”

Brother Tian first praised him, then laughed, “But you’re only calculating the output of one stall or one shop. What about the revenue from ten stalls or a hundred shops?”
