Yu Jiajin said to Xiaohong’s mother: “Since you also want to add an extra floor, you have to say hello to your neighbor.”
Lin Mai thought to himself, saying hello to each house like this, he still didn't know when this matter would be finalized.
So he told his two neighbors, "Let me know when we can add another floor." Then he took Master Zhang into his small Western-style building.
He gestured to Master Zhang: "This room is separated by itself, but these two rooms are a whole."
She had planned in her mind that the two restaurants would sell buns, dumplings and other pasta as a whole.
One specializes in barbecue and food stalls.
Now her steamed buns and dumplings have gained a reputation, and many customers come from far away just to eat her steamed buns and dumplings.
Lin Mai is not worried about the situation that happened when he first sold steamed buns. Steamed buns could only be sold in the morning, but not at noon or evening.
She plans to make the steamed buns and dumplings big gradually. As for the barbecue, she only plans to make quick money. Whether she can make it big or not, she will leave it to chance.
In her impression, no barbecue restaurant seemed to have reached a large scale in her previous life.
She also thought about the name of the shop, and the steamed bun and dumpling shop is still called "Baohaochi".
But change it a little and call it Baohaochi Noodle Shop.
The barbecue restaurant is called "Human Fireworks".
Lin Mai continued to say to Master Zhang: "Knock out the wall connecting the kitchen and the store and replace it with a glass curtain wall."
Master Zhang was silent for a moment and said: "If it is made into a glass curtain wall, customers can see clearly what is going on in the kitchen as soon as they come in.
If the kitchen is a little unclean or the chef is a little careless, all the customers will see it..."
Lin Mai understood what he meant, and was afraid that the bad side of the kitchen would be seen by customers and affect its reputation.
She smiled and said: "Then we must have strict requirements. The kitchen cannot be a little unclean, and the chef cannot be a little unscrupulous."
She wanted to build a glass curtain wall just to let customers see a clean, bright and tidy kitchen, thereby further improving the store's reputation.
The two went up to the second floor again, and Lin Mai asked Master Zhang to decorate the entire second floor into private rooms.
Although it is the 1980s, Jiangcheng is so big and there are still many rich people. These rich people all like to order private rooms.
Master Zhang listened to her silently and then said: "I can decorate it according to your requirements.
But I can’t get the kitchen sinks, tiles, etc., or the crystal lamps for the private rooms on the second floor.”
Lin Mai said: "I'll figure it out. Just give me a list of things you can't buy."
The two then planned the backyard, retaining the parking shed and building a processing room specifically for cleaning food.
Making buns and dumplings requires a lot of ingredients, and it is inconvenient to have no room to dispose of the ingredients.
After all the details were finalized, Lin Mai left with Master Zhang.
The weather in Jiangcheng is like this. As soon as it clears up, the temperature soars, and the sun is so hot that it almost burns.
Lin Mai pulled the sun hat down on his head to block the sun as much as possible.
At this moment, a pair of feet wearing exquisite leather sandals appeared in her lowered gaze.
Lin Mai didn't pay attention, thinking that some pedestrian had accidentally blocked her way, so she was about to go around, but her arm was grabbed rudely.
Lin Mai raised his head angrily and saw Wang Wenfang's well-maintained and beautiful face.
She asked coldly: "What are you doing?"
"I want to talk to you!"
According to Lin Mai's character in this life, Wang Wenfang was so unfriendly to her that she would have abandoned her long ago.
But now that she was in a relationship with Fang Zhuoran, it wasn't appropriate to show off to Wang Wenfang.
As the saying goes, when it comes to beating a dog, it depends on the owner.
After all, Wang Wenfang is Fang Zhuoran's mother, and her stepmother is also her mother.
If I don't give him any face, I'm afraid his face won't look good.
The next moment, the two came to a state-owned coffee shop.
This kind of state-owned coffee shop used to only serve foreign guests, but only in the past two years has it served Chinese people.
However, because the coffee is ridiculously expensive, few Chinese people patronize it.
So there weren't many people in the coffee shop, it was very quiet and perfect for talking.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a waiter in a maid uniform came over.
Wang Wenfang took the menu handed over by the waiter, looked at it elegantly, and said to the waiter: "Two cups of French hot coffee."
Then she smiled at Lin Mai with a condescending attitude towards a poor girl: "I should have ordered it for you, but considering that you don't understand coffee, I ordered it for you without permission."
Lin Mai smiled lightly: "I'm very proficient in coffee."
As a reborn person, I drank countless cups of coffee in my previous life, so how could I not be proficient in it?
Wang Wenfang was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Young man, there is no need to tell lies just to save face. I won't laugh at you."
Lin Mai snorted disdainfully in his heart, obviously looking down on her, but he also said he wouldn't laugh at her!
"No, I'm really proficient." She said without revealing her words, "Coffee is divided into single and fancy.
The single ones include Blue Mountain, Mandheling, Mocha, Brazil, Italy, Colombia, and Charcoal.
The fancy ones include cappuccino, latte, Triumph coffee, royal coffee, lemon royal hot coffee, Kahlua coffee..."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately asked Wang Wenfang: "Auntie, am I right?"
Wang Wenfang's eyes widened, how could she understand this!
"It seems that Auntie doesn't know much about coffee." Lin Mai smiled disdainfully and asked the waiter who was standing by and listening dumbfounded: "Beauty, am I right?"
The waiter finally came to his senses: "No, that's right."
Only then did he think of bringing coffee, so he turned around and left.
After walking far away, she looked back at Lin Mai. This was the first time she met a Chinese who was so proficient in coffee.
After a while, coffee was delivered.
Lin Mai picked up her own cup of coffee and drank it slowly, without asking what Wang Wenfang wanted from her.
Wang Wenfang originally wanted to wait until Lin Mai lost her temper before she could explain her purpose of looking for her.
But she didn't say a word.
Wang Wenfang had no choice but to say: "Comrade Xiao Lin, I heard that you and Zhuo Ran are friends?"
Ever since her relationship with Fang Zhuoran, Lin Mai had been waiting for his parents to confront her, and the day finally came.
Lin Mai didn't panic at all and admitted generously: "Yes, what's the matter?"
Wang Wenfang smiled.
That smile was intriguing and full of contempt.
She put down the coffee in her hand, took out a large envelope from her bag, and placed it in front of her.
"Here is one thousand yuan. I hope you can get this money and leave Zhuoran."
Lin Mai sneered disdainfully: "I don't look down on a thousand yuan. Zhuoran's annual income is more than that."
Wang Wenfang's face darkened: "I advise you not to be greedy! A second-married woman!"
Seeing what she said was unpleasant, Lin Mai didn't care whether she was Fang Zhuoran's stepmother or not.
Not to mention that she is just Fang Zhuoran's stepmother, even if she is her biological mother, she will not tolerate it.
She hasn't married into her Fang family yet, and she treats her like this.
One day she really wants to marry into the Fang family, but Wang Wenfang still doesn't know how to fix herself.
Ma Shan was ridiculed by others, and Shan Shan was bullied by others. Lin Mai suffered enough from Wu Xiaoyu's parents who were worse than pigs and dogs in his previous life, and he will never let history repeat itself in this life.
He retorted: "I'm not greedy for you, can you care?
So what if I am a second-married woman? Who told Zhuoran to like me!"
Wang Wenfang was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "You are so shameless!"
Lin Mai sneered: "You are noble, so you secretly break us up behind your son's back."
