After more than two weeks on the anti-inflammatory drug, Cheng Lin's pneumonia finally got better, and he no longer needed to get an IV drip every day, but he was always tired as if he had lost his vitality. Brother Yang pushed Cheng Lin to rest. He must be given a week off.Cheng Lin was afraid of delaying the meal of the workers on the construction site of Brother Yang, so he insisted on returning to the kitchen and sticking to his post. Brother Yang felt sorry, and took several boxes of milk from Sister Yang's shop to Cheng Lin.

In the evening, I went to set up a stall as usual, but the time was shortened a lot. Xiao Wang wanted to learn from Cheng Lin, but Cheng Lin was really weak, so he just watched the fire and the oil and salt, and directed Xiao Wang to handle the spoon. It took more than a week. , Xiao Wang has really improved a lot, and the master chefs who worked together praised Xiao Wang for his talent as a chef.

Cheng Lin suddenly felt that Xiao Wang could take him to do this job. Should he find something else with a high degree of difficulty? It’s incomparable to the monthly rent of a small shop in the capital, which is more than 1 yuan. It’s so cheap that Cheng Lin can’t believe his ears. He went to deliver meals to Sister Yang a few days ago, and saw a restaurant diagonally opposite Sister Yang for subletting. , Cheng Lin went back and forth to observe the passenger flow, and felt that it was okay, as long as it had characteristics and word of mouth, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Cheng Lin didn't procrastinate when he had an idea, and told Brother Yang when he turned around. In fact, Brother Yang was already mentally prepared, and he also felt that Cheng Lin was too talented on the construction site, so he simply said: "Success, go do it. Brother said, brother will put it on for you."

Cheng Lin thanked, and said: "Brother Yang, I can still make do with the money, that is, the procedures for opening a restaurant, I want to do it in your or Sister Yang's name. I am a foreigner, so I am afraid that it will not go well."

Brother Yang thought for a while and said, "That's not impossible, but can you trust our brothers and sisters? To put it bluntly, this store will be the name of our Yang family from now on."

Cheng Lin smiled and said, "I can trust you. You and Sister Yang are my nobles. There are already your shares in the store. I used your name to apply for a certificate to distribute dividends to you formally."

Cheng Lin first went to the sublet restaurant to inspect and found out that it was a shop of nearly [-] square meters, and there were some tables and chairs in it, which were not old. Cheng Lin brought the old carpenter over to take a look, and put on new paint in total. Cheng Lin also bought the original furniture in the store at a discount.Brother Yang mobilized the old guys on the construction site to bring some guys over to give Cheng Lin a simple renovation for free. In a few days, it looked like a new storefront.

Xiao Wang enviously followed Cheng Lin to tidy up in the store, and said, "Linzi, why are you so brave? You have only been in the county for a few days, and you have set up such a big store by yourself. If it were me, I would save The money in ten or eight years is not the same, so I dared to open it, so I thought about my wife and children, and went back to my hometown to build a small western-style house in the countryside.”

Cheng Lin was amused by Xiao Wang, and said: "I used to be very timid, and I didn't dare to think about anything other than setting up a stall on the side of the road. Later, when I met a powerful person and was encouraged, I became more courageous and didn't step out. At that step, you will always be a roadside stall, anyway, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, how will you know if you don’t try it.”

Xiao Wang nodded, admiringly said: "Linzi, you are really good, then you should encourage me and see if I have any chance to turn around. I really want to follow you and learn the skills of running a restaurant."

Cheng Lin said: "Succeed, I also mentioned to Brother Yang that you have worked hard recently, and you have been running on both sides of the construction site with me. Do it, I will mention it to Brother Yang again."

Xiao Wang asked pleasantly, "Linzi, what job do you give me?"

Cheng Lin smiled and said, "Lobby manager!"

Xiao Wang: "I'll go! Then I'm the manager!"

Everyone thought that Cheng Lin would continue to sell stir-fried vegetables, but unexpectedly, Cheng Lin had no such plan. Instead, he studied in the kitchen for several days and prepared many kinds of sauces. Everyone was invited to try them, and everyone went to the store After looking at it, I was surprised to find that Cheng Lin wanted to open a stew pot restaurant, braised fish, stewed bullfrog, stewed pork, beef, mutton and stewed vegetables, served with the exclusive secret sauce, it is really unique and appetizing, anyway, it is the only one in the small county One family, many workers were amazed when they tasted it, it was so fresh, and felt that they had tasted the fashion sense from a big city.

Cheng Lin made several batches of food tasting, invited the workers on the construction site, and didn't feel sorry for the cost. He supplied good fish and meat, patiently asked everyone for their opinions, organized a notebook densely, and worked all night Make sauces in the kitchen.Whether the sauce is good or not directly affects the overall quality of the stew pot. Cheng Lin has that patience and always felt that it was almost done, so he continued to start the business.

The formalities are handled in the name of Brother Yang. Brother Yang can be regarded as a local snake. Everything went well. The documents were all obtained early in the morning. Cheng Lin thought about it and called it "Brother Yang Stewed Pot", which is simple and easy to remember .Sister Yang burst out laughing when she heard this, and asked, "Lin, are you being too casual? This has something to do with your brother Yang? You're making yourself feel bad by flattering you, right? How big is my brother? "

Cheng Lin smiled and said: "I think it's pretty good, so let's call it that. First, you and Brother Yang are really my benefactors. Second, there are many people with the same surname in the Yang family in our county, and they look kind. I really can’t remember the name, my previous store was started by my brother! I don’t understand!”

Sister Yang laughed happily, and Brother Yang was also speechless. He waved his hands and said, "You boy, just look at it, just don't smash my old face sign." Cheng Lin gave a lot of drinks for free as opening gifts.

Brother Yang didn't expect it at that time, and he didn't think much about it later. Cheng Lin managed "Brother Yang Stew Pot" into the most prosperous restaurant in the county in just one year. The future is so bright that he opened two branches in a row , The one-year profit is quite astonishing, but at such a prosperous moment, Cheng Lin transferred all the sauce recipe and store to Brother Yang, so that "Brother Yang Stew Pot" was really named Yang.When sending Cheng Lin away, Brother Yang recalled the matter of naming the restaurant at the beginning, and his heart was very warm and touched. He felt that this kid Cheng Lin really regarded the kindness of dripping water as a spring report, and when he said goodbye to Cheng Lin, he was a Brother Yang, the tough guy who has been a contractor for most of his life, just secretly cried, as if sending his own brother out.

The night before the opening of the restaurant, Cheng Lin charged his mobile phone without a SIM card in the corner of the shed for a while, and opened the photo album to look at the photos on the opening day of "Xiaodai Mala Tang". They took a photo together in the flower basket, and Ren An hugged him with a particularly sunny smile.Cheng Lin glanced at it hastily, then turned off his phone quickly, and muttered softly: "Brother, you have to protect me."

The opening day was very lively. Brother Yang bought a lot of firecrackers according to the local customs, and the crackling shook the city. In the early stage, Cheng Lin mobilized his workers to distribute leaflets of opening discounts everywhere, and even broadcast advertisements on the county TV station. Many people thought it was new. , People lined up early in the morning to get the [-]% discount for the top ten, and at noon, there was a long line outside.

Cheng Lin chose the braised pot restaurant at the beginning because there are few people who know how to cook in the kitchen. It is the same as Malatang. He prepares the sauce and dishes in advance.The waiter was recommended by Sister Yang and her cousin. The young girls are very enthusiastic, and it is even more lively to shuttle in the store. On the first day of the opening, the name of "Brother Yang Stew Pot" is indeed very famous, and the ingredients are fresh and delicious. They were all full of praise and asked when the discount would last.

Opening a stew pot restaurant, the rent plus cost, the expenses are quite high, Cheng Lin is also careful planning and budgeting, and he has managed to open the business. After two weeks of operation, he gradually feels relieved, and feels that the problem of profitability is not a big problem. Brother Yang sees that Cheng Lin is busy all by himself. When he was busy, he simply offered to ask Xiao Wang and the old carpenter to come over full-time to help, and he just recruited new people for the work on the construction site.

The restaurant was booming day by day. Cheng Lin sorted out the accounts every day and still insisted on the habit of oral calculations. When Xiao Wang found out, he was surprised and sighed: "I said, why don't you take the usual way, so you are a genius hidden among the people! It's faster than my computer and doesn't make mistakes."

Cheng Lin remembered the time when Ren An praised him, lowered his head and smiled, and said, "I'm just smart."

As the Spring Festival approached this year, Cheng Lin advertised the New Year’s Eve dinner set meal. At first, Brother Yang laughed at him who came out to eat on New Year’s Eve, but when he saw the full order, he patted Cheng Lin on the shoulder and sighed: “I’m old, it’s still you Lots of tricks."

On the night of New Year’s Eve, Cheng Lin reserved a table in the restaurant to invite the workers on the construction site who hadn’t returned to their hometown to eat, and also reserved a large table for Brother Yang’s house, as did Xiao Wang’s and the carpenter’s house. In the county seat, it is convenient for relatives to come over.Cheng Lin cooks the food himself, like a banquet full of Han people. Shark fin, abalone and sea cucumber are all served.

Many of the workers who didn't go home felt sorry for the round-trip ticket money, and accidentally ate Cheng Lin's precious New Year's Eve dinner. Some people watched the Spring Festival Gala, secretly wiped the corners of their eyes, and frequently toasted Cheng Lin. Cheng Lin said: "I I’m just here for the first time, and they’re all Brother Yang and Sister Yang, and there’s also the home you gave me, don’t be too polite, eat and drink well! Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!”

Cheng Lin looked at the bustle and bustle of people in the store, and actually wanted to cry. He also had someone he missed very much, but he didn't even dare to make a greeting call.Brother Yang bought firecrackers and fireworks, and set them off in the open space at twelve o'clock. Cheng Lin said amidst the brilliant fireworks in the sky, "Brother, Happy New Year."

Thousands of miles away, Ren An returned to his residence after eating the New Year's Eve dinner from his grandfather's house.

There are sporadic fireworks in the city. It is not lively to see the stars. Ren An walked around his house, went to the kitchen, and went to the side sleeper where Cheng Lin lived, and then stood on the balcony. Blowing the cold winter wind, I put a cigarette on the lonely floor, and said in my heart: "Stay, happy new year."
