Luohuazhishui

35 Rent a house in the city and look at the storefront

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and all the big stalls, hawkers, taverns and shops in the city have already started business.Chen Zhishui and Cheng Luohua also planned to go to the city today to find a house and a store.

There are few people on the road today, and the scooter was not tied immediately.The two of them didn't keep their horses outside the city, but rode in directly.I also met a few suitable shops on the main street, but the rent was more than 300 taels.It is two-thirds more expensive than other stores on the street.

Chen Zhishui only had less than 200 taels of deposit left, so he couldn't rent it at all.In fact, she can also be used as something again, but Chen Zhishui doesn't want to do that. For one thing, even if the shops on the main street are rented out, it is not something ordinary people can do.You don't have an identity and background and want to compete with other restaurants?No matter how good your restaurant is, they still have a way to ruin you. Why don’t you start on a more remote street? Other restaurants won’t treat you as a threat at first, and when you develop connections, they will try to overthrow you. it's too late.

On the other hand, Chen Zhishui also doesn't want to rely too much on space, it's okay to be one or two times, but if it's the third time, others will doubt you.Now that she has a home, she should act more safely and carefully.

The two of them inquired about more than a dozen taverns on the other streets, and one of them was moderately priced, with an annual rent of 100 taels, a two-story building with a backyard.Although the area is not very large, the place is also biased.But the conditions are not bad, the buddy has everything ready-made, come in and get ready to start business.

After discussing it, I chose this place. The house in Mujia Village, Chen Zhishui, was not for sale. There are too many memories there, and I can go back when I am tired and think about it.

The owner of this store is very straightforward. After paying the rent and signing a two-year contract, he said that he can start business immediately, and there is still a living room in the backyard.After renting the shop, the two of them really have no money left, so they plan to pack up and move in tonight.

"Luo'er, I've wronged you, this room is so small."

Cheng Luo Huahuan took a look at the living room in the backyard. Originally, it was for the shop assistants. There was only a bed, a table and chair, and a cabinet, nothing else.

Shake your head. "I'm not that delicate, and I've lived in worse places than this. As long as I have you, I won't feel wronged anywhere."

Chen Zhishui rubbed her little hands.I secretly thought that after two years, I must change Luo'er to a better place.

The two of them rode back to the village on horseback, and moved their luggage to the city today.

……

Chen Zhishui and Cheng Luohua were carrying the last thing to the car together.

"Luo'er, this one will be full after moving, I guess we'll have to come back for the rest."

With a push by Cheng Luohua, the bathtub was pushed onto the car.

"You still said, just take some clothes, food and daily necessities, why move those furniture. It takes up space."

Chen Zhishui pulled the bathtub in, and got out of the car after seeing that it couldn't fit in.

"Hey, you can use them all. Although the place we live in is small, we have everything in place. Even though the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs."

Cheng Luohua sat down on the side of the car.

"There's nothing wrong with you. Let's go!"

"okay."

……

All the things that should be used have been moved, and the two of them haven't eaten their busy lunch.

Wipe the fine sweat off Chen Zhishui's head with a handkerchief.It's also due to the cold weather. If it's summer, maybe several layers of clothes will be soaked through.

"Zhishui, rest for a while, I'll cook later."

Chen Zhishui took the handkerchief from her hand.He shook his head and said, "No, I'll do it later and let the guys have a meal here. We can get to know each other well at the table. I'm thinking of holding an event at the official opening of the Lantern Festival."

Cheng Luohua doubts

"Huh? What event? Why didn't I hear you say it before?"

Chen Zhishui wiped off her sweat, folded the handkerchief and handed it to her.

"I just thought of it. I just bought the shop and I need to renovate the store and put up a plaque. Anyway, I still have some money left. Let's try to improve the environment. When the Lantern Festival opens, we will hire some opera troupes to sing operas to attract customers on the road. Then draw a piece of red paper on the top and sides of the table, on which it says that all the dishes in the store will be cut in half for three days in a row. There must be a lot of people coming. In the next few days, we will study the menu and renovate the store, what do you think?"

Cheng Luohua thought it was feasible.

"Well, I think it's ok. You can cook a lot of rare dishes after you order in this way, which tastes much better than the chefs at Yuminglou. It will definitely keep repeat customers. But the knife skills are poor, it's ok Practice slowly, our small restaurant, if the taste is good, people will continue to come to eat it. If you want to become big, there is no rush.”

Chen Zhishui nodded.

"What Luo'er said is not bad at all."

Cheng Luohua smiled softly: "It's all according to your words. I'll go to the back kitchen to wash the vegetables. Later, tell the guys to have dinner here tonight."

"Okay, I'll go and tell them."

After Chen Zhishui told the shop assistants that they would save it for dinner tonight, they seemed very happy.All I thought was that this boss is quite easy to get along with, and I was relieved.

There are not many ingredients left in the kitchen, nothing more than some pork belly, cabbage, tofu, crucian carp and two sweet potatoes.

After taking a look, Chen Zhishui almost knew what to do tonight.

Her best dish is shredded sweet potato, because she also liked to eat it in her previous life.When this dish is first made, it can draw very long sugar strands, which are crystal clear and beautiful.

Pork belly can be used as salty twice-cooked pork.Tofu cabbage stew.Sweet, salty, and bland are all available, and crucian carp can be made spicy.It just so happens that there are still a lot of dried chilies and peppercorns in this small kitchen, which can be used to make spicy crucian carp.These few dishes are perfect for winter.

It is worth mentioning that the former emperor of Nanning sent envoys to various countries and introduced a lot of fresh food from other places, which laid the foundation for this generation of emperors.This generation of emperors likes to collect utensils from other countries and various rare spices and herbs.

This chili pepper was introduced to Nanning from other countries. It just so happens that the eighth day of the new year is the day when caravans from various countries come to Yongji City to sell special products.Nanning has a total of 24 cities, so those foreign caravans have to do business in Nanning for more than 20 days.Each city only stays for one day.It will be very lively, and bosses from all walks of life will go to see if there is anything they can use in those special products.

Chen Zhishui also planned to go to the National Market on the eighth day of the lunar new year to see if he could import some new seasonings and ingredients for cooking.In the past, if I made food at home, it would be fine if I lacked the same seasoning, but now I am doing business and opening a restaurant, and the taste of the dishes without the ingredients will be much worse!

The last dish is served.Chen Zhishui was sitting in the front seat, Cheng Luohua was on the right side, and the account manager was on the left side.There are three other guys, big and small.

Chen Zhishui picked up the wine glass and stood up to face everyone, followed by Cheng Luohua

"Hehe, I won't say anything superfluous. In the future, we will all be partners who will be together day and night. I will do it first as a respect."

After Chen Zhishui finished drinking, the steward standing on the left spoke.This man was about forty years old, and he looked very shrewd.

"The shopkeeper is very polite. When we first met, everyone felt that the shopkeeper and his wife are very good people, and we will definitely cooperate well in the future. We are also working hard with all our heart. We hope that the shopkeeper and his wife can give us some advice if we are deficient! This glass of wine, I Respect shopkeeper and madam!"

"The manager is polite, the store's accounts will depend on you in the future." Cheng Luohua said.

Chen Zhishui also echoed, "Yes, my wife is right, I will rely on you to manage things in the future, so you should work harder."

"Hahaha, the shopkeeper's words are serious. It's a matter of duty, so why bother to talk about it!"

The guys also toasted Chen Zhishui's wine one by one, and Cheng Luohua didn't want her to drink, so she said to the guys directly, "There is no need to continue the toast, my boss is not good at drinking, if I drink too much, I will have a headache in the morning, everyone should eat, it's been so long It will be cold if you don't move your chopsticks, that's all we are in charge of, we forget to eat when we talk, everyone use your chopsticks, and try her handicraft."

Several people have long seen the dishes on the table and want to eat them, but the shopkeeper doesn't speak, who dares to move their chopsticks?

Pick up a chopstick dish and send it to your mouth.

At this time, these guys seemed to be drunk, squinting their eyes and immersed in the delicious food.

Really, the color and fragrance are complete.

Everyone didn't make a sound, just buried their heads in eating, and it took only 10 minutes.All the plates have bottomed out.After the guys finished eating, they slumped on the chairs with a satisfied look on their faces.

The store manager said, "Shopkeeper! You are really good at cooking. I have never eaten such delicious food that smells delicious and tastes better!"

Chen Zhishui smiled, and let Cheng Luohua wipe the corners of her mouth for her.

"Hehe, as long as you like it."

Cheng Luohua saw that it was getting late, Chen Zhishui's flushed face must have been drunk.

"Let's stop here today, I'll clean up the dishes, everyone go home, and have two days off tomorrow and the next two days."

"Don't, don't, Mrs. Shopkeeper, let's go back after cleaning up. Otherwise, I will be very sorry."

"OK then."

……

The guys all went home.Cheng Luohua fetched water to wipe the face of Chen Zhishui who was sleeping on the bed.

She was tired, she moved a lot of things today, she cooked food after a short break, drank several glasses of wine on an empty stomach, and then went to sleep.

Kissed Chen Zhishui's lips.

There was a smell of alcohol, but she didn't dislike it.This man, he has to take care of everything by himself.

Cheng Luohua helped Chen Zhishui's Qingsi to spread out, put her arms around her waist and closed her eyes.

fool.You don't want me to be tired, so am I willing to see you tired?You are a woman... Just like me, you also need to be loved.

Let's work hard together in the future...

I have no regrets following you in this life.
