Brightness of Rebirth

Lu Minglang took his clothes and other things with him, and he hesitated after getting off the car at the school gate.

He glanced at the place he just bought and then at the east gate, and walked towards the school with his bag on his back.

During the [-]th long holiday, there were not many people staying in the dormitory building on the freshman side.

Lu Minglang took out the key of the dormitory from his pocket, opened the door, and there was no one inside.

Qi Zhengtao in their dormitory has all gone back to his hometown. After all, this semester is the longest vacation except winter vacation.

There are only a few things in Lu's house, put them in the wardrobe and drawers, and after a while, all traces of his life in Lu's house will be wiped out.

Lu Minglang tidied up his things, closed the drawer, and went outside the east gate again.

I have to say that although Luo Kunliang's company occupies a small space and has a small facade, it looks a bit shabby for fun.However, they did a very beautiful job.All the wooden walls added later on the second floor have been completely removed, and the previously changed lines and pipes have been redirected back to the original direction. The wires and pipes on the first floor are still exposed, but they are no longer visible on the second floor.

Lu Minglang's book was placed outside the room of Sheng Guoqiang and Zhu Meizhen, and since the wall in between had been demolished, it was considered to be in the living room.

Sheng Jianming was helping put things away, when he saw Lu Minglang, he quickly put the things in his hand, came over and said, "Boss, why are you here again?"

Lu Minglang wanted to go back to Lu's house first to rest, of course, he was already motion sick like that, so it's not an extra trip to A University.

Lu Minglang said: "I want to live on campus, so I came here."

Sheng Jianming couldn't help saying: "It's the National Day holiday, living here is like never going home."

Lu Minglang didn't talk about the quarrel between him and Lu Zhongsong, he just said: "By the way, supervise the decoration downstairs."

Speaking of which, the name of their small shop here has not been taken yet. Lu Minglang plans to choose a name and make a big signboard to hang above the store entrance. At that time, he will apply for trademarks and various qualification certificates at various bureaus of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. ——Of course, he won't run away by himself, but find a broker who specializes in these tasks. Usually, he can help get all the certificates out in a few days, as long as the materials are ready.

Sheng Jianming talked to Zhu Meizhen and the others, and went downstairs with Lu Minglang.

The walls on both sides of the first floor have also been demolished, and all kinds of things inside can be replaced, and what cannot be replaced can be repaired.

Now the house workmanship is very solid, there will be no problems.

For the three layers of white paste, Lu Minglang chose high-quality materials, and the row of lotus flowers in the middle of the inner corner line on the top is very beautiful from bottom to top.

When I walked around the area that had been painted, I felt that the white layer made people look particularly comfortable. Although there were all kinds of white spots splashing underneath, I still couldn't help but look at the white wall.

Sheng Jianming sighed, "It's true."

Lu Minglang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's choose tiles."

"Tiles, haven't you bought them?"

At that time, Lu Minglang specifically requested that the kitchen and the toilet should be fully plastered, and that the bottom part of the walls in other places should be pasted with black long strips of bricks—this was to prevent them from easily staining the walls when they walked around.

Lu Minglang said: "That's on the wall, and on the ground."

Sheng Jianming said, "What are you doing with the tiles on the floor?"

Earlier, Lu Minglang didn't even think about laying tiles. The main reason was that if he wanted to lay tiles, the ground would have to be re-paved with cement. It wasn't a job that could be done in a day or two, it would take a while to finish.

Upstairs, Zhu Meizhen and the others moved all the things in, so the wall above was demolished, but the white mortar was only half painted.But whitewashing is very fast, and the space above is large, so it can be done room by room.After one room is finished, they will change to another room. Zhu Meizhen and the others simply move things around, and within a month, everything inside and outside the room can be cleaned and beautiful.

"For the sake of beauty." Lu Minglang said, "Look at this wall, shouldn't there be a better floor?"

Sheng Jianming: "..."

Lu Minglang said again: "Although it's quite beautiful now, I don't think it's enough."

Sheng Jianming just looked at the long strip of old electric lights on the ceiling, and the dusty concrete floor on the ground.

This kind of floor does not look dirty and is very convenient to clean.

Laying tiles requires frequent cleaning, and the surrounding area is not all concrete, and it is very common to step on mud or something.

The slippery floor with tiles may not be as good as the concrete floor for customer experience, but Lu Minglang and Sheng Jianming have different ideas. He thinks that with this white wall, there should be bright and beautiful tiles.Anyway, it will definitely be paved in the future, so it's better to do it early.

The decoration company naturally sells ceramic tiles, and Lu Minglang chose beige marble floor tiles almost without looking at the introduction, most of which are white like jade mixed with beige.Although the medium gray is more beautiful, it is not suitable for the floor of the restaurant.

Sheng Jianming looked at the sample and felt that it looked like jade, so he touched a couple of it with his hands.

Lu Minglang discussed with Feng Kunliang to use these tiles to pave the floor tiles on the upper and lower floors, and the windows should be redone, with a layer of brown-red bricks on the edges and a set of wooden frames on the outside.

Feng Kunliang asked curiously, "Mr. Lu, is your store a high-end one?"

The traffic on the east gate is not as high as that on the main gate. Feng Kunliang has worked here for so many years, so he knows it.

Lu Minglang's house was originally newer than the nearby ones, so it stood out from the crowd, so it might not be able to attract many customers at first.

In Lu Minglang's earlier design drawing, the lamps, cupboards, cabinets, etc. he was planning to make already had roughly the desired shape, especially the lamps, how could such lamps be used in a restaurant?

Lu Minglang said: "No." After a pause, he said, "I saw other people have such decorations."

Of course there are, but there are very few of them. The only one over the main entrance is a coffee shop that is particularly exquisitely decorated, and it also sells some pastries.

Feng Kunliang said: "This decoration often has something to do with how the store is going to open. Mr. Lu's decoration like this may scare away customers."

What he said is not alarmist, but the concrete floors in other people's stores may not be suitable for them, it's just because the downstairs is rented and they can't move it by themselves-and I don't know how many years I have worked there. , spend so much money laying floor tiles, when the time comes to leave, won't it be cheaper for others?

Lu Minglang smiled and said: "I believe it's only temporary, boss, do you know where there is a lamp that sells around here?"

Feng Kunliang pointed the direction and said: "There is a market from Sanli Road over there. The first floor is the farmer's market, and the second floor is the home furnishing market—there should be one there."

Lu Minglang said: "Thank you boss."

He and Sheng Jianming went to choose square lamp shades and glass doors that can be pulled outwards or inwards.

Even the windows are ready to be replaced!

All the things I bought were delivered to Feng Kunliang.

Of course Feng Kunliang doesn't think he has a lot of business, but he already feels in his heart that Lu Minglang is the son of some rich man, opening a shop at a young age, either the family let him experience it or he wants to do it himself.

Lu Minglang refurbished so recklessly and made the place so beautiful, he presumably wanted to make it bigger.

It's a pity that this place was chosen wrongly, it was chosen on the side of the east gate, and it was still open.

Maybe their store at the main entrance will not stand out from the crowd, but here, if you take a look outside, most of the first reaction is not to go in - because it always feels awkward.

After discussing with Feng Kunliang about the decoration of the first and second floors, Lu Minglang asked them to send more people to lay the floor tiles on the second and first floors.

Because Zhu Meizhen's side can only move half and half, and she has to wait for the floor to be paved halfway before moving things to the other side of the shop.

If they live there, it will be noisy if the construction starts next to them. The downstairs will be spread faster, and when the time comes, they can wait downstairs.

By the way, those pots and pans and all kinds of mess can be ordered.

Sheng Jianming followed Lu Minglang to order these miscellaneous things. He was busy for two or three days, running outside every day until dark.

The tiles on the first floor were laid quickly, and after three days, it was basically finished. The lights that Lu Minglang bought were all installed, and when the lights outside were turned on, it was beautiful.

The second floor has a glass door, looking in from the outside, when the lights are on at night, the room seems to be full of fairy air.

Lu Minglang discussed with Zhu Meizhen and the others, and the name of this shop is Auntie Stewed Chicken.

The name is simple, but Lu Minglang drew a Q version of the villain as a trademark next to it, which has a bit of Zhu Meizhen's characteristics, so he planned to make Auntie's stewed chicken a brand.

The decoration downstairs is almost done, and the glass door has also been installed.

The big signboard was hung on the second floor and fixed.The protruding volleying words look so good with the trademark.

Lu Minglang asked a company to ask someone to help him get the certificate for opening the store, and the people in the company assured that it would be done within two days - this was because of the National Day holiday.

On the last day of the [-]th holiday, there was still unfinished renovations on the second floor, including the stairs——Lu Minglang hadn't renovated the stairs yet.The first floor is almost finished.

Everything in the kitchen is already in place, and because of the pre-ordered size, it just fits.

Standing in the kitchen, Zhu Meizhen looked at the granite table and the row of cabinets and stoves, not knowing where to put them.

The holiday is over, Lu Minglang and Sheng Jianming are going back to school, and the tables and chairs will arrive soon, Lu Minglang told Feng Kunliang not to bring things here, wait until they tidy up the upstairs and downstairs, and then do it after finishing not too late.

There are two wall pillars in the room, where a hollow carved low wooden wall is fixed to the left wall pillar to separate the two sides, and a more secretive "box" is located.

A tall wooden bench is next to a wall post, and a pot of fake flowers is placed on it.

Sheng Guoqiang and the others didn't understand why Lu Minglang placed these useless things, but after looking at them for a long time, they thought they looked pretty.

On the first day Lu Minglang and Sheng Jianming returned to school, they had to be divided into classes.

It's not as serious as I heard earlier, but the people in the class are still mobilized.

Lu Minglang's class was divided into a dozen or so, and a dozen or so were squeezed in.

What surprised Lu Minglang was that neither Shen Yanheng nor Ding Chengchao was assigned—but Sheng Jianming was assigned.

In college, some people in the same class may not remember it well, and if they are in the next class, they must be even more blind.Sheng Jianming was assigned to the class next door, and it wasn't too far away, so the dormitory didn't need to be changed - but next semester, he would have to change to the next dormitory.

Three people in their dormitory were separated: Sheng Jianming, Wei Shijie and Qi Zhengtao.

This is much more than the people in other dormitories, basically accounting for a quarter.

Lu Minglang was very upset. Although Sheng Jianming lived in the east gate, even if he moved to the next bedroom, it would be very close, but so many people left in their bedroom, and Shen Yanheng hadn't left yet. Isn't it superfluous?

On Monday and Tuesday, Shen Yanheng wanted to talk to Lu Minglang, but Lu Minglang gave him a cold face directly, so cold that he didn't respond to a word, and didn't give him a look.

Of course, Qi Zhengtao and the others noticed Lu Minglang's strangeness, but Lu Minglang only treated Shen Yanheng like that, and they just kept their eyes on each other as if they didn't see it—the matter of class division had something to do with Shen Yanheng anyway. .

For some reason, Shen Yanheng may have become thin-skinned, or he was finally angry because of the coldness of Lu Minglang, and after being snubbed several times, this time he continued to talk to Lu Minglang without a warm face and a cold ass.

When I went to the opposite side on Tuesday, the tables and chairs had already been moved here.

Sheng Guoqiang had some doubts about this table, because in addition to the ordinary four-person table, there was actually a very small two-person table.

The double table can only accommodate two people at most, and the chairs in their store are fixed, so they can only accommodate two people.

Lu Minglang didn't simply want to place them in the order of one row on the left and one row on the right. In fact, there were several rows of tables for four in the large open space on the right, and the space on the left separated by a wooden wall slightly higher than the table. There is a row of four-person tables, a two-person table is placed on the other side of the wall pillar with flowers, and a two-person table is also placed next to the other wall pillar without flowers.

There are tables for two and four, and the whole space is spacious and not wasted.

The tables and chairs are fixed, and there is a shop on the first floor.

Probably because of the exquisite decoration, the menu and other things have not been hung yet, and many passers-by from the east gate look here.

However, although the store looks good, when they see the word stewed chicken on the signboard, they are often a little interested but don't have much desire to buy.

Stewed chicken means expensive, and what kind of stewed chicken is okay to eat?It is not a year or a festival, so the decoration is really beautiful, especially the lamp, which is bright but not dazzling, and makes the wall beautiful. When standing outside, I can't help but look inside. look.

Lu Minglang's various qualification certificates were almost ready, and he posted those things next to the door, indicating that their shop was registered with the bureau.

There are not many dishes, Lu Minglang designed the main menu with big pictures and small characters, and the menu on the other side is mostly side dishes, after all, they don't have too many main dishes.

Zhu Meizhen cooked all the dishes she could think of. In addition to stewed chicken with rice, Lu Minglang also included stewed pork ribs with rice, stewed beef with rice...

They are all the same ingredients and the same seasoning.

Lu Minglang felt that it might be difficult to open up the market like this at the beginning, but everything is difficult at the beginning, if it is too difficult, Zhu Meizhen will definitely be hit.

So, he added another business: secret Mala Tang.

Lu Minglang's personal skills in other dishes are not very good, but he is good at making hot pot and spicy soup, probably because he uses chicken soup and beef soup, the taste is very delicious.

In the past, when he made hot pot, he basically didn’t buy seasonings on the market. Instead, he bought beef bones and chicken bones and stewed them at home, adding some mushroom spices to taste. The taste was much, much better than those outside.

On Wednesday morning, Lu Minglang went to the nearby vegetable market to buy something and came back to cook. At noon, he used the soup to make noodle soup for them to eat.

Zhu Meizhen is much more sensitive to food than other people. After taking a bite, she praised: "I didn't expect Minglang to make soup so well. What kind of mushroom is there? It's so fresh."

Lu Minglang answered one by one, and said: "But this soup must be thick, and it needs to be boiled for a while."

It was still autumn, but Lu Minglang went to buy two freezers, and put all kinds of dishes and staples in them, and he was free to choose.There are already a lot of meatballs these days, but most of them are sold as oden.

There is a hot pot restaurant at the main entrance, but there are Malatang restaurants at the North Gate and South Gate. Lu Minglang went there in his previous life. One is Chongqing style, which pays more attention to spicy food, and the other one also makes bone soup by himself. However, pork bones are used, and the taste of the two without adding spicy food tends to be bland - Lu Minglang used to have a bad stomach, so he ordered Malatang with neither spicy nor spicy, but he finished it with difficulty.The Chongqing-style one is better than the other one after adding spicy, but that one is mostly prepared with seasonings bought in the market, and the soup itself does not have much flavor.Although Lu Minglang never thought of selling his own soup before, he felt that delicious things could always be sold.

Malatang is also written on the menu.Hang the menu on the top cabinet.After one stop behind the cash register, the back of the front desk is very chic, and I feel that the store has been completely finished.

When Lu Minglang was going to the creative agency for self-study on Wednesday night, the opening ceremony of the shop was still in Lu Minglang's mind.

It is not allowed to set off firecrackers, but publicity must be publicized.

Probably because of Malatang, the students who had been hesitant after watching the stewed chicken and only wanted to eat together at the end of the semester all came to ask when they would open, and they were much more enthusiastic than the purely curious passers-by passing by.

Lu Minglang was thinking about whether to add a line of small words next to the signboard: Secret Mala Tang.

Then, I began to design the flyers to be distributed at that time.

Shen Yanheng was standing right behind him, watching him draw there.

Of course, he had noticed a new store opened at the east gate, but what he noticed more was that Sheng Jianming seemed to live there, and Lu Minglang still went there all the time.

Sheng Jianming will live in the dormitory next door in the next semester. I didn't expect him to have a place in front of the school. It's really...

After Lu Minglang denied the two layouts, he suddenly turned his head.

Shen Yanheng was still thinking about other things, so he met his eyes a little slowly.

Lu Minglang turned his head back, and instead of talking to Shen Yanheng, he rubbed off the piece of paper he designed and typeset, and threw it into the trash can.

Shen Yanheng said: "It's Wednesday, and I'm going to A-13 during evening self-study, you won't forget, right?"

Lu Minglang said: "Remember."

He took out all the forms and other things in the bag, and then brought a small notebook and a pen, put them in the bag, and prepared to carry the bag to the classroom.

Shen Yanheng hurriedly took the prepared things and followed him.

At night, the lights in the campus are not too much light, not on the main road, the surroundings seem to be quiet in the slightly dim.

There are very few people on this road, and their college does not have too many mandatory evening self-study.

Lu Minglang vaguely remembered that in his previous life he had only attended half a semester in his junior year, but this road was taken by his freshman year, most of whom went to the library instead of the self-study room.

When they arrived at A-13, Lu Minglang knocked on the door.

"The back door is not closed!" Someone inside said loudly.

Lu Minglang couldn't help but exchanged glances with Shen Yanheng, then walked in through the back door in silence.

A-13 has rows of desks like a normal classroom, but there are five computers in the last row, and there are a few people working on something there, and almost everyone is there.

"Is it a newcomer... Have you brought the form?" The boy standing in front of the podium held a form and beckoned them to come to them.

Both Lu Minglang and Shen Yanheng handed in the form, and then the boy ticked off the form in his hand—it seemed to be a sign-in form.

The boy introduced himself: "My name is Yuan Demiao, and I am the vice president of the Creative Society. The president is busy with work in his senior year, but it doesn't matter. I will definitely see him next Wednesday—if you have anything to do, please contact me. He will still let you find me."

Both Lu Minglang and Shen Yanheng agreed, and then Shen Yanheng took a step ahead of Lu Minglang and arrived at the last row of computer desks.

They are playing games.

To be precise, one person is playing the game while the person next to him is watching.

There was sweat on the forehead and nose of a boy with a fair shaved crew-cut, and the computer made a "squealing" sound. The page was a fairly delicate little game, except for the old-fashioned old-fashioned feeling of the frame, the inside It is a string of gems, as long as the order of two gems is exchanged to make them three in a row, the points will be eliminated, and then the upper gems will fall down.

"Right, right?" Lu Minglang said.

The boy couldn't help but glanced at him, and said, "Yes, my game is designed according to the mahjong gameplay, and it's already a semi-finished product."

The person next to him echoed: "He did it by himself."

Lu Minglang glanced at the page on the computer in awe.

This thing looks simple, but it's a hell of a hassle to do it alone.

A small man next to him came over with a smile and said, "You can't finish that game, you're a newcomer, come and play with me." He pulled Lu Minglang over, and then opened a game called "Zombie Crossing the River" on the desktop. " mini-game.

Humans want to send zombies across the river. If the number of zombies on a certain bank exceeds humans, they will eat humans. Only when all zombies are sent across the river can they win.

Lu Minglang sat down and tried it out. He didn't calculate seriously at the beginning, but the number of zombies exceeded humans by accident.

The zombies suddenly moved and became ferocious, chasing up and eating the fleeing humans. Although the scene was simple, it was very detailed and bloody.

Lu Minglang was a little dull, he had played this game before, when he was in computer class in his previous life, the teacher used this game as an example when he taught simple programming...

Shen Yanheng said: "Send one of the zombies there first—" He couldn't help but started pointing.

Lu Minglang glanced at him, ignored him, quickly started over, and then sent all the zombies across the river.

"Hahahaha!" The little man couldn't help but patted Lu Minglang's shoulder vigorously, "Brother, not bad!"

Lu Minglang said: "If you're not impatient, you should be able to win if you play for a while longer."
