Volume 1 Chapter 47 My Mother's Eating Plan Seems To Be Going Well, Which Is A Relief
Now, I want to talk about the video we made for my part-time job at Andou Trois. We divided the editing into different sections: inside the shop, showing the products, introducing the staff, and sharing customer feedback. Luckily, we finished everything by 1:00 PM.
After that, I decided to go home. Why?
I really want to quickly edit the video and share it online.
The three people sitting at the eat-in area still seem to be enjoying their conversation and having more tea.
It looks like the tension between Namiki-san and Nakagaito has been resolved.
Well, I don't want them to stay in the eat-in area for too long, but they are ordering and eating food and drinks, and I have to pay for what they consume.
Regarding the shop, it would be better if we served more drinks instead of expensive pastries.
From the shop's perspective, depending on the ingredients, cakes with fresh cream or fresh fruits can sometimes cost more than 30% of the selling price.
When we talk about baked foods, often the cost of the packaging is more than the cost of the ingredients.
But for drinks, it can be really cheap.
The price of black tea changes a lot depending on how good the tea leaves are.
It can cost as little as 5 yen or up to 80 yen for the best quality. This is usually what happens in normal cafes.
In the UK, some teas can even cost more than 20,000 yen for just one cup!
People in Britain really love tea.
Once, a person from China asked a British person why they don't use their tea passion in their cooking. The British person said something like, "Tea is delicious, but cooking is bad."
Well, in Britain, people think it's okay to eat toast with Marmite.
People in Britain are surprised that in Japan, people eat raw eggs and natto with rice. The UK is known for making great tea and setting international standards for it. They even did serious research to find out if it's better to put milk or tea first in milk tea. They wrote about it in academic papers. It's funny that they focus so much on tea and not other things.
Well, besides that, if we sell this for about 400 yen per cup, we can make a lot of money.
The cost of coffee at a convenience store or fast food place, including the cup, is about 40 to 50 yen.
But, it seems that the cup itself costs about 30 yen.
So, the cost ratio is high, but since customers who drink in the store don't stay for a long time and mostly take it to go, the turnover rate is very high, and the quantity is also high, so it's very profitable.
So, even if a few customers stay longer, as long as the drink orders keep coming, the initial cost can be recovered.
In this season, I think it would be good to add seats outside the store with umbrellas to attract more customers who want to drink inside.
Well, that's something for the owner-patissier, Ikurumi-san, to think about.
"Ikurumi-san, I will pay for the tables over there that have been used up until now. But, can I pay for the future ones on credit? I will pay on the next Friday when I come to work as a part-timer."
"Ah, yes, that's fine."
My remaining money can be paid next time, so I asked the three people at the table.
"Thank you all for helping with the video today. I'll edit and post it when I get home, and you can put the order on my tab, so feel free to stay and chat."
When I said that, Nakagaito replied,
"Got it, see you later."
Namiki-san bowed her head and said,
"Thank you for everything today."
"Oh no, we both benefit from this, so it's mutual. Well, see you, everyone."
With that, I packed up all the equipment in my bag. Before going home, I called my mother on my phone.
"Hey, Mom?"
"Oh, what's up?"
"I'm heading home now. Can I ask for lunch when I get there?"
"Of course, that's fine."
"Thanks."
When I arrived home, my mother welcomed me.
"I'm home."
"Welcome back. Lunch is ready."
"What about Mom?"
"I already ate, so it's okay."
"It's pretty late for lunch, right?"
Come to think of it, has Mom lost weight? Her cheeks look slimmer.
"Mom, did you lose weight by changing your diet?"
When I asked, mother smiled and said,
"Oh, you noticed. Yes, I lost about 2 kg (4,4 pounds). Even the neighbors have been saying my skin looks better."
"Oh, sorry, I didn't see clearly, but it's good that you lost 2 kilograms. Maybe aim for less than a kilogram a month from now on."
"Oh, really?"
"Having clear weight loss goals is important, but the main goal is for Mom to be healthy. Looking good is a bonus, but it's important not to push too hard for weight loss, as it could be bad for the body."
"Oh no, then I need to be cautious."
"Well, I think as long as Mom don't only eat foods with carbohydrates, you should be okay."
Just concentrating on losing weight and reducing HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) levels, and forcing yourself to tolerate meals, often leads to negative effects in the long run. Eventually, people tend to eat too much and go back to their original state.
That's why it's important not to fight against your hunger during meals and instead focus on improving the balance of nutrients to gradually lose weight.
If your weight is slowly going down, the extra sugar in your body is naturally controlled, and not only does your skin become clearer, but you also prevent problems related to glycation.
Hello, we have other project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
