I was about to say something, but then I thought that Yan Wenzhi was not shy and had a calm face. How could she, a big girl, be shy?
Maybe... maybe he just wanted to thank himself.
As soon as I thought about it, I felt much better, so I leaned on his not-so-generous back with peace of mind, relieved myself of fatigue, and had a good rest.
Dangling on Yan Wenzhi's back, his eyelids became heavier and heavier due to the night breeze, and he slowly fell asleep while smelling the good smell on his body.
Yan Wenzhi heard the even breathing coming from his back, and stepped softer. The blush on the tips of his ears could not be hidden, and gradually it spread to his neck.
It was dark and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. The reflection of the moonlight on the bluestone road made the two of them slowly return to Qingxi Lane step by step.
Mrs. Gu had already prepared a meal for them. She waited and waited but no one came back, so she could only sit at the door and watch.
Hearing the knock on the door, he quickly got up and opened the door.
"What are you..." Before he finished speaking, Yan Wenzhi whispered "shhh", and Mrs. Gu immediately shut up.
"She was tired and fell asleep."
After saying that, he walked towards Lin Nanyi's room.
Seeing Lin Nan sleeping soundly on her back, Mrs. Gu was afraid that she would fall, so she followed behind and was ready to catch her at any time.
A look of distress on his face.
When they arrived at the room, the two of them worked together to put the person on the bed, so lightly that they did not wake up Lin Nan.
Yan Wenzhi was panting a little. Although his body had recovered, he was still a little weak. He had already used up most of his strength to carry her back.
Mrs. Gu brought some water to wipe Lin Nan's face and hands, then took off her coat and put it aside.
After doing this, she discovered that Yan Wenzhi hadn't left yet and watched her clean up Lin Nan.
"What are you still doing? The food is in the kitchen. Go and heat it up yourself. I'll be busy here for a while."
Yan Wenzhi looked at the naked disgust in Mrs. Gu's eyes, "I am your son, a biological son."
Sighing silently, he exited the room and went to the kitchen. He saw that the food was still untouched. I guess Gu had been waiting for them and hadn't eaten yet.
When Mrs. Gu came out of Lin Nanyi's room, she saw Yan Wenzhi sitting at the dinner table waiting for her.
"You silly kid, why don't you eat quickly and rest while you wait for me to do something else?" Mrs. Gu scolded her. The fatigue on Yan Wenzhi's face was clearly visible, and she felt distressed.
"Waiting for you to eat together." Mother and son have not had a meal alone like this for a long time.
It's been so long that Mrs. Gu can't even remember it.
General Yan Wen told what Lin Nanyi had done today. Mrs. Gu repeatedly lamented how powerful Lin Nanyi was. He could easily earn two thousand taels with just a few dishes.
"Treat Nan Yi well from now on. She is also a miserable child. Do you hear me? If you dare to treat her badly, I will not recognize you as my son and live with Nan Yi."
Mrs. Gu glared and lectured Yan Wenzhi fiercely.
He had never thought of abandoning her or staying away from her, not to mention that now he and Gu could not live without Lin Nanyi.
And she might have an easier life without these two bastards.
"I know."
After dinner, mother and son talked some more about what was on their mind before going to sleep.
…
The next day.
Lin Nan woke up very early because she was hungry. She didn't eat all day yesterday and was so hungry and tired. Now that she woke up and gave her a cow, she could eat it.
When I came to the kitchen, I found that a steaming breakfast had already been prepared. The white flour pancakes made people salivate at the sight of them, and a pot of sticky porridge was also cooked.
After casually washing up, she sat down and started to feast. She couldn't wait any longer and had to eat first as a token of respect.
It feels so good to fill your mouth and stomach with this kind of food!
Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Gu came out of the room, with a loving smile on her face as soon as she saw Lin Nan, "As soon as Nan woke up, I knew you would wake up early. I woke up early to make breakfast. Isn't it cold?
.”
Lin Nan's mouth was full and she was moved beyond measure. Sure enough, maternal love is the most selfless love in the world.
Still holding the half-eaten pancake in his hand, Lin Nan's eyes were red. He stood up and ran towards Mrs. Gu, jumping directly into Mrs. Gu's arms, "Auntie, you are so kind!"
Gu's heart seemed to be filled with something, swollen, as if it was about to overflow, and every corner was filled with warmth.
"Ouch, you can't handle this auntie." Mrs. Gu was scolding someone who had never convinced anyone before, but she didn't seem to know how to say thoughtful words. She was obviously very moved, but what she said was, "The pancake's
The oil is stuck to my clothes, get up quickly."
The tears that had reached the corners of Lin Nan's eyes disappeared in an instant. Sure enough, if you were moved or something, you just had to feel it in your heart.
Although he was very tired yesterday, Yan Wenzhi still did not snooze. Not long after Lin Nan got up, he packed up and came out of the room.
Lin Nanyi is not going to go out today. She has to work on design drawings at home all day.
The store she rented was the foundation she laid in Dali Dynasty, and it must be perfect and the best.
The signboard has been made, so Yan Wenzhi takes the design drawing to the carpenter to make it.
She has to figure out the store decoration, dishes, prices, promotions, etc. all by herself.
Gu and Yan Wenzhi fully supported her and ran errands for her.
After returning from the carpenter's place, Yan Wenzhi took Lin Nanyi's request to the ceramics shop to see if he could order a batch of dishes.
If you want to do something, you have to do something unique and unique.
Only in this way can we quickly occupy the main battlefield and make quick profits.
Her target is not just this store.
Fortunately, I met a professional person named Yazi in the house.
Different from being a maid with a death contract, this profession is similar to the HR in the previous life, which is specially selected for this kind of store. He explained the requirements and brought someone to select Lin Nanyi the next day.
The address for selecting people is set in a store. The store is not big, less than half the size of a Mid-Levels restaurant, but it requires a lot of manpower.
Ren Yazi had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, and even found a few people who had been cooks for her.
Even if you can't cook in the early stage, you can at least help her.
Being a waiter in the shop is a job that requires physical strength, so she selected a few men from a dozen people who were young, about the same size as her, and had quick hands and feet.
She is responsible for serving dishes on the first and second floors, and has chosen two aunts who are similar in age to Gu to do menial work in the kitchen.
Mrs. Gu always said that she didn't need to spend this money, she could do all the rough and tiring work, and it would be even harder than when she was in the village.
But Lin Nanyi didn't want her to work so hard.
In her heart, she already regarded Mr. Gu as her closest elder.
In the end, a total of eight people were left, and the agency fee totaled 800 yuan. Lin Nan quickly paid the money and took away the people who were not chosen.
After the people left, the lobby on the first floor instantly became quite empty.
She held a brief meeting and got to know everyone. Aunt Li and Aunt Zhao were helping in the kitchen.
The four people doing the cooking are two brothers, Yang Xun, Yang Wei, Wang Qian and Wang Song.
There are also two cooks who are good at cooking, Dong Chun and Luo Ji.
After assigning everyone's tasks, he introduced Yan Wenzhi and Gu, "Brother Yan will be in charge of the accounts from now on, and Aunt Gu will be in charge of the front office and kitchen. If I am not here, I will follow their arrangements."
"Also, if you have a bookkeeper at home, you can also call him over to have a look. Brother Yan will be going to the academy soon, so he can't be here all the time."
Luo Ji immediately said that his younger brother was the accountant, and he was admitted to Tongsheng.
It was because my family was too poor that I didn't continue studying.
After the tasks were assigned, everyone started to work. The Yang family and Wang family brothers cleaned the front hall, and Mrs. Gu took her two aunts to tidy up the kitchen.
Lin Nanyi took Yan Wenzhi out for a sweep.
I bought the necessary seasonings and the like.
There are not many seasonings here, but the basic ones are enough. What’s more, the seafood itself is fresh, so there is no need to use seasonings to overwhelm the food, which will make it lose its own taste.
She had fish signs carved into the corners of every table on the first floor, and there were many seafood ornaments made by carpenters in the store.
It is already antique, and the decorations make it even more distinctive.
After all this work, there are only three days left until the opening day.
The house number has already been made.
This was a drawing she made after staying up late that day, and asked the Wang brothers to hang the sign in the center of the store entrance, covered with a big red cloth, and it would not be revealed until the opening.
There are already a lot of people coming and going at the pier. Lin Nanyi has been making a lot of noise in the past few days. Now he has put up a signboard, which has attracted a lot of people's attention.
Lin Nanyi specially set aside an innermost room on the second floor as his office.
The view here is very good, you can see the boats docked on the river bank, and it won't be noisy.
The best thing about the huge momentum is that it saves a lot of effort in publicity. Now many people are curious about what kind of business it is.
Whenever anyone asked, she would ask the people in the store to keep silent and just tell them to come and visit on October 13th.
In the past few days, money has been taken out like running water.
The only eight hundred taels left in my hand are now only one hundred and fifty taels.
I really miss the business loans from my previous life, which were interest-free.
The day before the opening, Lin Nan went to the fishmonger. The fishmonger was waiting anxiously when he saw a big customer coming.
He rubbed his hands and went forward, "Girl, you're finally here. I thought you were gone."
"I am a man of my word. I will definitely come as promised. Today I just came to see your fish and sign the contract, so that both of us are guaranteed."
The fishmonger couldn't help but nod. Despite her young age, this girl was very considerate.
I heard from the fishmonger that his name is Qian Qi. He is not from Qinghe Town, but from Huajing Town in the lower reaches of Qinghe River. When he was young, he came to work as a fish seller in order to make money.
He married a wife and had children in Qinghe Town, and settled here.
After seeing the fish, it was indeed very good, and they agreed to deliver it to the store before dawn tomorrow. Qian Qi was shocked.
I really didn’t expect that a store that has become so popular these days is actually opened by a humble little girl like her.
I lamented again that I had not chosen the wrong person. If I had not taken over this business at that time, I would definitely regret it now. With such a big customer, he would not have to worry about selling his fish in the future.
…
The second day.
Before midnight, three people came out of Qingxi Alley and headed to the pier under the moonlight. This chapter has been completed!
