Zhou Ying opened the account books and saw that the total was 1.8 million taels.
The restaurant and manor in the capital amounted to 1.2 million taels, while Qinshui Town's restaurant and workshop totaled 600,000 taels of silver.
She asked offhandedly, "Does it mean that we earned less in the capital compared to last year?"
"Yes, there's a drop in business in the restaurant here.
"If we hadn't come out with the new dish before the new year, Buddha Jump Over the Wall soup, I'm afraid the revenue would've been lower."
"Does it mean that the customers are getting tired of the current dishes we're offering?"
Niu Fugui didn't reply, but his meaning was clear.
Zhou Ying paused momentarily before adding, "Alright, why don't you call over the chefs here for the next two days so I can teach them two new dishes?"
"That would be great! With new dishes, our restaurant will be booming with business in no time."
