Chapter 1087: Ten million
Mother Chen did not want to pour water on the enthusiasm of her son, since they believed that they could do it, then it was better for her to speak less. However, Father Chen was a bit hesitant. He could not understand how pork, chicken and mutton could be sold at such a high price.
A tael could be used to buy an entire pig at this time given that the butchers were in a hurry to make a benefit with the rising temperature, in such a situation who would pay seven taels for a catty of pork?
He licked his lips and then placed the cup of water in his hand on the table before turning to look at Chen Mi who was smiling proudly, ” Mi Mi, I am not doubting you. But shouldn’t you start with smaller benefits first? Seven taels is a lot of money and I don’t think that people would be willing to buy a catty of meat for that much money.”
Chen Mi however smiled and then sat down next to his father, he hugged his father’s arm and then spoke in a spoiled manner, ” Daddy, you are worrying too much. You might not know this but our pig, goats and chicken ate special fodder. My wife even gave them soybeans and vegetables from our farm.
They are raised with extreme care and if we sell them at any price lesser than seven taels then we would be making a loss.”
” But ..but what if the meat cannot be sold?” Father Chen asked with a slight worry coating his voice. The reason he was worried was not only because he was afraid that Yu Dong would make a loss but also because he was afraid that if Yu Dong failed then his second son-in-law would make fun of his eldest daughter and son-in-law.

” Master Chen does not need to worry,” Ye Liu had just picked up a laundry basket before handing it to the mammies, since it did not include Yu Dong’s inner clothes, he had no qualms about handing it to mammies. Though mammies were also women, Ye Liu would rather wash the clothes that belonged to his wife instead of handing them to others.
” Dong Dong has a lot of plans regarding the shed built for livestock. When you arrived at the town you must have seen a restaurant being remodeled right?”
” We did,” Chen Ying nodded as she replied with some excitement. ” The restaurant used to belong to some big shot but she was arrested a few days ago, I don’t know which heroine did it though. Anyway, the remodelled restaurant looks rather good from the outside as for the inside I don’t know but with the aesthetic value of the owner, I am sure it must be good on the inside as well.”
” That restaurant belongs to Dong Dong,” stated Ye Liu with a blank look but anyone could see that his lips were curled up in a prideful smile. ” Even if we cannot sell the meat and even if it’s left as leftover, we can use it somewhere else.
I have already calculated the dishes that Yu Dong had come up with are something that not many could think of and with these dishes alone, we could make twenty or so tael per serving.”
Though twenty taels sounded like a lot, Yu Dong was going to serve fifteen dishes or more per platter, it could be said that they were only making a profit of five taels per platter. However, the reason they came up with the restaurant’s idea was only to give a boost to their mall and nothing else.
” Our fields are doing good as well,” Shen Li spoke from the sideline. He was combing Shen Jin’s hair while trying to get Shen Yuchen off him. ” We have more than a hundred mu of lands contracted at present, each field is either growing up strawberries and blueberries that would be used to make jams and could be sold for a tael per bottle.
The vegetable production has also increased along with the seafood and the shares from the oil mill as well as the bar that we opened, we can earn five million taels easily. If the restaurant and mall plans work out well then we would be earning ten million taels per month. Thus we are not worried even if the entire plan fails.”
This was the first time the Chen family knew that Yu Dong could earn so much money. They turned to look at Yu Dong and did not know what to say anymore five million taels? They never even thought of making so much money in their dreams!
Lu Nanyun on the side gulped heavily. Five million taels? If…if his wife was to become Yu Dong’s partner just how much money would they be receiving?
He turned to look at Chen Ying and pinched her when he saw that she was in a daze. Upon being pinched Chen Ying snapped out of her daze and then looked at Yu Dong, she did not know whether to speak to Yu Dong casually or slip down on her knees.
Was this her sister-in-law? No! She was clearly the God of wealth!
” God… sister-, in law, by this plan…how much …how much would be my earnings?” Chen Ying was not asking because she was greedy for money but because she wanted to make sure that she would not receive any shock later on. In case the money was much more than she expected then she was afraid that she would faint out of shock.
Yu Dong did not think too much, she made some mental calculations and then answered, ” If everything goes well then as the head of the livestock shed and the one who would be teaching the mammies how to butcher the livestock, I can hand you three to four hundred taels a month.”
” Three to four hundred taels a month!?” Chen Ying squealed as she stood up from the couch and then swiftly fell as her eyes rolled in their sockets.
” Wife!”
” Sister!”
” Ah, Ying!”
Because of Yu Dong’s casual words, the entire family was thrown into chaos once more.
