Loss?
Today's "Flower Garden Ode" was packed, how could it be a loss?
Anyone with a business mind could roughly calculate that today's "Flower Garden Ode" made a huge profit.
A cup of milk tea costs fifty copper coins, and every guest received a cup, which seemed like a lot of consumption, but after deducting the costs, it wasn't much.
Then, based on the dishes ordered by everyone, each table averaged about twenty taels of silver, and considering the total number of tables, the revenue was sky-high.
By now, the cost of the milk teas given away had already been recovered.
Besides, only one cup of milk tea was given for free; the second, third, or the five, six, seven, eight cups taken home were all charged at normal rates. The orders that the Second Miss saw were all paid for by the guests.
Moreover, the taste of the milk tea was quite good. Those noble guests came out to enjoy themselves, and fifty copper coins were nothing to them. They wouldn't be stingy about it.
