Chapter 26: Saint Fall Degree 100% (Seeking Follow-ups!!!)

Su Yuan carefully cut a palm-sized piece of meat from the roasted goose's belly.

When the tip of the knife touched the goose's reddish-brown, oily skin, it split open with a slight crackle with almost no effort. An even richer aroma surged from beneath the skin.

Because the aroma was so intense, as soon as Su Yuan sliced off a piece of meat, everyone in the entire kitchen had gathered around.

"Little Su, did you roast this goose?"

Chef Li stared at the amber-like goose skin on the white porcelain plate, and the tender, juicy meat beneath it, looking somewhat surprised.

He had worked in a star-rated hotel in the city and witnessed the skills of a master char siu chef in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Judging by the appearance of this roasted goose, Su Yuan's char siu skills were no inferior to that master's!

"Uncle Li, please taste it first."

Su Yuan divided the goose meat on the plate into several small pieces and handed his chopsticks to Chef Li.

Chef Li's expression turned solemn. He picked up a piece of goose meat, put it in his mouth, and closed his eyes to savor it carefully.

At this moment, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi's hearts were in their throats.

The taste of the roasted goose would determine their income for a long time to come, so they couldn't help but be nervous.

But as Chef Li ate the goose meat, he seemed to freeze in time, completely motionless.

Not to mention Su Yuan, even the other people in the kitchen were getting anxious.

Is it good or not? Just say something!

After a long while, Chef Li opened his eyes and stared at Su Yuan with a stern face, saying coldly:

"Kid, I have a big opinion about your dish."

Su Yuan: "..."

Chen Nuoyi and the others in the kitchen were also stunned.

What does he mean?

Did this roasted goose just look good but taste terrible?

Just as everyone was confused, in the next second, the coldness on Chef Li's face melted away like spring snow, revealing a smile:

"It's because you should have joined the workforce in the first year of high school, not waited until now."

Su Yuan: "..."

Seriously, Old Li, have you watched too much Hell's Kitchen?

Well said, very entertaining, but don't say it again next time.

"Uncle Li, can the two of us start working now?"

Su Yuan asked cautiously.

Chef Li: "There's no problem with starting work, but I need to have a good talk with you two about the compensation."

"Little Su, you're only working part-time, so you can't stay in the kitchen all day like us. So, you plan to come here for a portion of the day to make char siu, right?"

Su Yuan nodded.

Chef Li: "Your char siu skills are enough to earn a head chef's salary, and our cafeteria's head chef earns around fifty thousand a month."

"But since you two are both part-time, a fifty thousand monthly salary is definitely not feasible. And if we calculate it by the hour at one hundred or two hundred per hour, it would be a bit unfair to you. So, I think you can go with a profit-sharing model."

"Profit-sharing?"

"Simply put, after you make the char siu, the cafeteria will be responsible for selling it. For every portion of char siu sold, you'll get a portion of its profit."

"The more char siu you sell, the more you earn. But if the dishes don't sell, you won't earn much."

"Whether you choose this method depends on how confident you are in your product."

Hearing this, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi exchanged glances and each picked up a piece of goose meat to taste.

Their confidence instantly exploded!

"Uncle Li, we choose profit-sharing, but we need to determine the specific price for a whole roasted goose and how much we'll get from each sale."

Su Yuan rubbed his hands, his eyes having somehow turned into dollar signs.

After half an hour of intense negotiation, the specific profit-sharing amount was finally settled.

The cost of making a Dragon Scale Goose into roasted goose, including all expenses, was around six thousand yuan.

However, the Dragon Scale Goose was large enough, weighing over a hundred catties when cooked. It could be divided into one hundred portions to sell, with each portion priced at... 120 yuan!

The price was not cheap, but after all, this was a spirit beast at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Cultivation, a great tonic for cultivators. It could be considered a fair price.

And for every portion of roasted goose sold, Su Yuan would receive twelve yuan as his share!

This meant that after selling one whole roasted goose, he would profit twelve hundred yuan. At a rate of one goose per day, he could earn over thirty thousand yuan a month!

The only price he had to pay was spending a little over two hours after school every day on corpse refining... cough, char siu.

Of course, this was an ideal scenario. The cafeteria's menu changed frequently, students had weekends and holidays off, not to mention that 120 yuan was not a small amount for students, so they couldn't eat it every day.

It was also possible that a whole roasted goose might not sell for three to four days.

"As a new item in the cafeteria, the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose will be sold at half price tomorrow. Of course, your share won't be less. Little Su, whether you can make big money depends on tomorrow."

Chef Li said with a smile.

"Since the taste of the roasted goose I made is fine, it will definitely sell!"

Su Yuan looked at the signed contract and showed confidence.

Chef Li raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Overconfidence isn't a good thing. Maybe the students won't buy it."

Su Yuan confidently said:

"Uncle Li, don't worry. Since I dared to apply, I was fully prepared to make money. I'm not only confident in my roasting skills, but I also have a special trick for how to sell this roasted goose."

"Let me be in charge of selling the roasted goose tomorrow, and I guarantee it will open your eyes, Uncle Li!"

Seeing Su Yuan's confident demeanor, Chef Li guessed that Su Yuan indeed had a backup plan. He smiled and said:

"In that case, the roasted goose window tomorrow will be managed by you."

Afterward, Su Yuan hung the roasted goose to air dry in a ventilated area of the kitchen. He warned the kitchen staff not to chop it up. Then, he left the cafeteria with Chen Nuoyi.

Feiyun Community.

The two changed into their Security Guard Uniforms and took up their posts.

"Class Monitor, let's agree beforehand. We'll split the profits from the roasted goose fifty-fifty."

Su Yuan glanced at Chen Nuoyi's Saint Fall Degree on his System panel and said.

Chen Nuoyi was startled and quickly waved her hands:

"No, fifty-fifty is too much. I didn't do anything when making the roasted goose. I just helped out a bit. Even twenty percent would be more than enough for me."

Su Yuan smiled and shook his head:

"Class Monitor, you can't think of it that way. Although I'm making the roasted goose now, once you learn, I can hand over this job to you."

"Then you'll be the one busy running around, and I can just relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Getting fifty percent of the profits would still be considered low."

"So, the income before then is compensation for your future efforts. Please don't refuse."

Chen Nuoyi was stunned, not expecting Su Yuan to think so far ahead.

After a moment of hesitation, she slowly nodded:

"Then, I'll listen to you."

The moment Chen Nuoyi agreed, this Righteous Path Saintess, who was already heavily corrupted from participating in and learning corpse refinement, further degenerated due to money in the System's judgment.

A crisp "ding-dong" sounded in Su Yuan's mind.
