hibiscus past years

big problem.

Although a year and a half is not a long time, he still learned a lot based on Uncle Jiang's teaching.Relying on these, he already had an idea.

He found several rental shops in the vicinity for comparison, after deliberation, he finally picked out the one he was most satisfied with.The store is a bit far from the school, and it can't compare with those stores that occupy geographical advantages, but it is better because it is close to home, and it is convenient to commute to and from get off work.Gu Fengzhu thought very well, it doesn't matter if the store is far away, he can work hard to give it away for free, as long as he does it well, he is not afraid that no one will come.Moreover, it is closer to the vegetable market, so it is convenient to get up early and go out to buy vegetables.

Most importantly, he wants to rent for a long time.Those places with a little traffic, the rent is naturally more expensive. He doesn't have much money, and he doesn't want to ask his brother for it, so he can only choose a shop with a little less traffic and a little cheaper rent.

Yes, Gu Fengzhu wants to open a restaurant.

This is not a whim, but a decision he made after careful consideration.

He doesn't want to be a waiter like before.He wants to have a stable job, not an employee who may be fired at any time.

He has that ability, and he wants to try it.

He is still young and wants to do his best and work hard for it once.

In life, you always have to try something you haven't done before.

The previous tenant opened a restaurant, and Gu Fengzhu bought rice with fish-flavored eggplant, which was not delicious.He vaguely remembered that the owner of the shop was an old lady who was a bit fierce.He didn't understand money at the time, so he bought two bowls of rice with 2000 yuan, and she accepted the money silently.Afterwards, every time he passed the small restaurant, she would look at him warily, or simply pretended not to know him.

Gu Fengzhu also didn't want to argue with an elderly woman, so the matter was left alone.Now I suddenly remembered, and asked the landlord about her recent situation.

"Do you know her?" Hearing his question, the landlord's expression was a bit complicated, "She...is okay. The business in the store is just like that. She can't do it when she's too old, so she's going back to her hometown to take care of herself."

The landlord is a middle-aged woman, and she doesn't like to gossip behind people's backs, but she glanced at Gu Fengzhu, who was as old as her son, and after thinking about it, she persuaded her: "She's kind of... tough, Seeing the kind who won't let go of money, if it weren't for this, the restaurant's business wouldn't be so bad...Although her cooking skills are also one of them. In short...you'd better stay away from her. "

Gu Fengzhu smiled soothingly, dazzled the woman's eyes: "I bought food there before, and I have a little impression. Just ask casually, thank you for your reminder."

"That's fine." She collected the rent and gave him the key to the store, "Then this store will be handed over to you from now on. When the store opens, I will bring my husband and children to take care of your business."

Gu Fengzhu took the key, thanked him, and watched him go away.The fingers tightened slightly, feeling something in the palm, and my heart was extraordinarily at ease.

The predecessor of the store was a restaurant, which saved a lot of trouble.Gu Fengzhu planned to think of a name first, and then find someone to hang up the sign, but before that, he met two people he didn't expect.

Since the last time we parted, Gu Fengzhu hadn't seen the two brothers of the Liu family for a long time.He has a cold temper, and he doesn't have a deep relationship with the two of them, and since he hasn't seen them for a long time, his impression of the two of them has become somewhat vague, so that when they met again, he almost didn't recognize them.

Dusk is approaching, the sun is setting, and under the orange afterglow, some people are walking on the street in twos and threes riding the evening wind.The sand grains that have been in the sun for a day are still a little hot, and when you step on them, you can feel the heat that has not dissipated from the soles of the shoes to the soles of your feet.

Next to it is the noisy crowd, they are mixed in, out of place but not different.

The wind blows through the mountains and water, bringing the salty and slightly moist lake water.Liu Wenbin opened his arms, enjoying the feeling of the wind passing through his fingers, and was intoxicated by it.

"Can you guess the purpose of our coming?" Liu Wenzhi asked him, looking at the lake full of broken gold stirred up by the jumping fine waves.

Gu Fengzhu didn't know, he didn't even know how they found him, let alone the reason and purpose.

He shook his head in confusion.Liu Wenzhi said, "Actually, we came because of an unfeeling invitation."

"This request is quite... how to put it, it's a bit difficult." He said, "It's normal to disagree."

"Tell me first, I will try my best to help if I can," Gu Fengzhu said.

"Just...that's..." Liu Wenzhi faltered, a little hard to say.

"We heard that you want to open a restaurant, and we would like to ask you to change the name of the restaurant to 'Liu Ji Restaurant'." Liu Wenbin put his hands in his pockets and said, "But the restaurant is yours after all, this request is somewhat excessive, so If you don't agree, we also...understand."

Someone spoke first for him, and the words that followed were much easier to export.Liu Wenzhi looked up at the setting sun that was about to end, and his quiet black eyes seemed to be steamed: "Our father has been working hard for the people of this city all his life. He has no lofty ambitions. All he wants in his life is to watch those children eat. Drink well and grow up healthy. Now that he is gone, we just want someone to continue in his place and fulfill his long-cherished wish."

Gu Fengzhu froze.He kept looking up at the setting sun, the sun seemed to be piercing into his eyes like thousands of sharp swords, making him almost cry.

"Okay." He raised his hand to block the glare of the sun, raised his head to keep his tears from falling, and said softly, "It's called 'Liu Kee Restaurant'."

After all, people are different, and it is impossible for one person to completely replace another person's position in everyone's heart.This store name contains too much, the painstaking efforts of the family and the memories of several generations, it is impossible for him to inherit all of them without omission and live up to expectations.But he still took it.

Just like when the old man helped him integrate into society when he first arrived, he tried his best and tried his best.

Twilight walks away, and the dusk is getting stronger.

Mixed with cooking smoke and gray evening mist, is the aroma of dishes on each warm dining table.When I came back in the dark, meals were already prepared at home.

"I'm back. Wash your hands and eat." Amidst the faint smoke and fire, the man was busy wearing an apron.

He is not very good at cooking, and the meals he makes are not beautiful, and the taste is barely, but he is very careful.What floats on the simple three dishes and one soup is the warm and down-to-earth taste of home.

Gu Fengzhu suddenly felt at ease, as if he had been wandering and lonely for a long time, and finally found a home.In a very ordinary, ordinary house, there was a man waiting for him to come home. From then on, he had reliance in his heart and hope in his life.Even if the road ahead is open and bright, I don't want to step out of the door.

Some people's love is only for a beam of light, and they only want to guard this beam of light.

48. New restaurant

◎I heard that things that kill people will attach the soul and half of the deceased◎

The store problem has been solved, the plaque is being made, and the rest is to purchase and arrange.

When everything is ready, there are still a few days before the promising days.Gu Fengzhu thought for a while, took his things, and took a ride to the cemetery.

It was early summer, and May in the south was still a bit cold.The cemetery is surrounded by pines and cypresses, making it even more gloomy.

The cemetery is not big, and after the death, most of the family members will choose to take the ashes of the deceased back to their hometown, circle a geomantic treasure land for burial, and return to their roots.Those who voluntarily buried in a remote place like Master Liu, living alone in a corner overlooking the city, are still in the minority.

The wind in the cemetery was a bit strong, and Gu Feng had to light the candle a few times before lighting the fire.He knelt in front of the tomb, quietly burning paper money.

He couldn't speak, and he didn't know where to start, so he just looked at the photos quietly.

In the black-and-white photo, the old man looked kindly, and he was looking at the tall buildings in the distant city with a smile on his face, but because Gu Fengzhu was kneeling in front of the tomb, he seemed to be smiling at him.Gu Fengzhu looked at the kind and friendly smiling face as before, exhaled a little, and said as usual: "Master Liu, I'm here to see you."

"Uncle Jiang is very kind to me. He has taught me a lot over the past year, and I have learned a lot. Thank you for entrusting me to him."

Whenever he thinks of the old man still remembering his own appearance before leaving, Gu Fengzhu feels so uncomfortable that he is on the verge of tears.He sniffed, and continued: "Now that I have returned from my studies, I want to inherit your mantle and continue to open Liu's Restaurant."

He took out something from his bosom, unwrapped the cloth, put it in front of the tomb, looked at it and said: "My mother told me that things that kill people usually attach the soul and half of the dead. This stone...it took you, so I will put it in the restaurant, hope you can pass it and see the children in your memory."

"After the obsession is over, you can go to heaven with peace of mind." He caressed the stone, which was cold and hard, like a heart that was gradually hardening from cold, until it reached his heart.

He cheered himself up and said something that was good for both of them, so as to divert his attention: "The two employees before you are the two people who work with me, He Mengwen and Shi Long, together gone."

"I didn't go to see their wedding half a year ago, but I saw their wedding photos. They are very handsome."

"I heard that Shi Long went out to work hard after leaving the restaurant, and he is already a boss now."

"During the Chinese New Year last year, my brother saw them once, at the vegetable market. He Mengwen was shopping for vegetables, and Shi Long followed with big bags and small bags, and asked my brother about me."

"I heard from my brother that they are very happy now and are ready to have children."

"Your two children are also living well."

He rubbed the red string on his wrist, and showed it to him with a smile: "Look, Master Liu, I always carry the red string you made for me. You said this is for safety. My two big brothers and I Don’t dare to take it off, just wear it carefully all the time.”

After the paper money he brought was burned, he got up and patted
