Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth convalescent sanctuary
Although Chen Jianmin's mother has gray hair, she is meticulously combed. She is wearing an old-fashioned short-sleeved cheongsam with a sloping front and an air of a scholarly daughter.
Maybe he was really feeling unwell. When he saw Shen Chi, he just smiled slightly and seemed to have no strength to speak.
Shen Chi took her pulse and found no other problems besides weak breath, so he had no choice but to let her stay.
Since it was for recuperation, Shen Chi arranged for the small courtyard where Zheng Jun and the others lived. It was quiet, elegant, and no one disturbed them.
Chen Jianmin saw that the conditions in the house were pretty good and there was a separate bathroom in the room, so he agreed to let his mother recuperate here.
Shen Chi wanted to get bedding for them, but Chen Jianmin said no, they had some with them. He took out the sheets and spread them on his mother.
"Uncle Chen, how is the decoration of my shop?" Shen Chi asked him hurriedly while he was making the bed.
When Shen Chi arrived at the villa, she thought there was something wrong with the decoration.
"I'm just getting dressed, I guess it's almost half a month away." Chen Jianmin replied while making the bed.
After hearing this, Shen Chi felt relieved.
After making the bed, Chen Jianmin helped his mother lie down. When Shen Chi saw this, he exited the room. When he came to the yard and looked at the surrounding environment, Chen Jianmin was also very satisfied. Chen Wenxuan was very satisfied with the courtyard arranged by Shen Chi. He liked it very much, and he immediately fell in love with the orchid plant under the rockery in the middle of the courtyard.
After several years of spiritual energy nourishment, it became more and more elegant and delicate. Chen Wenxuan couldn't move his eyes away from it. "Xiao Chi, do you want to sell this orchid?" Chen Wenxuan's old habit has happened again.
Shen Chi shook his head: "You won't sell this orchid no matter how much you pay."
It is not easy to nourish spiritual energy. This orchid is already extraordinary, and Shen Chi does not want to sell orchids for money anymore.
Chen Wenxuan was greatly disappointed. He turned around and stared at the orchid, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Seeing that his father's "nymphomaniac" disease had relapsed, Chen Jianmin was speechless for a while, and turned to Shen Chi: "By the way, you can set a price per month for my mother to recuperate at your place."
Shen Chi was in trouble for a while. He was not a professional in opening a nursing home, so he really didn't know how much to set the price.
"Uncle Chen, just watch and give it." Shen Chi said with a smile.
"It's really embarrassing for me to see you giving too much. If you don't give me too much, you'll feel uncomfortable. If you give me too much, I'll suffer." Chen Jianmin joked.
"I will accept whatever Uncle Chen gives me. I will never have any thoughts in my heart. If you really think that you can give me less decoration costs and make it cheaper." Shen Chi also replied jokingly.
"Waiting for me here, I know you are a clever person." Chen Jianmin laughed and scolded.
All joking aside, Chen Jianmin still gave Shen Chi 2,000 yuan a month based on the standard of 1,000 yuan per person: "If you don't have enough money, you can tell me, but the food can't be too bad."
"My family has a big pot of rice. In the morning, steamed buns, rice porridge or noodles come in turns. At noon and evening, there are four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables. If you feel that the food is not enough, you can pay separately and start a small stove." Shen Chi said with a smile.
"You don't have to worry about food. Although the few meals I had at Xiaochi's house were ordinary home-cooked dishes, I have never tasted the taste in other places. Otherwise, I wouldn't urge you to eat it." Your mother sent it here. "Chen Wenxuan, who was concentrating on looking at the orchid grass, turned around after hearing this.
Chen Jianmin thought of the first time he and his father had dinner at Shen Chi's house three years ago. Indeed, even an ordinary dish of stir-fried vegetables felt particularly refreshing.
Hearing the noise outside, Zheng Yuanyuan also leaned on the door frame and secretly peeked into the yard. Chen Wenxuan saw her and hurriedly waved to her: "Little girl, come to grandpa."
Apart from her own family, the only people Zheng Yuanyuan could get close to now were Shen Chi and Shen Zhou. When Chen Wenxuan called out, she was so frightened that she turned around and ran back into the house.
Just then Zheng Yuansheng came out and explained: "My granddaughter is a little timid." He called Zheng Yuanyuan out quickly, hugged her and faced Chen Wenxuan and said: "Call grandpa quickly." "Grandpa." Zheng Yuanyuan is timid. After calling out, Chen Wenxuan responded with a smile. He hurriedly went into the house and took out a bottle of Tremella cans from his bag and said to Zheng Yuansheng: "Here, take this for the little girl to eat."
"How embarrassing." Zheng Yuansheng declined.
"Child, what are you so embarrassed about?" He said and forced it into Zheng Yuansheng's arms. Zheng Yuansheng could only say to Zheng Yuanyuan, "Thank you, grandpa."
"Thank you, grandpa." Zheng Yuanyuan is very obedient.
Zheng Yuansheng and Chen Wenxuan were about the same age, and they were both intellectuals. They had a lot in common, and the two quickly chatted together.
At this time, Shen Chi also asked Chen Jianmin softly: "Is Yishan able to take the college entrance examination this year? How did she do in the exam?"
Since the last time we said goodbye in the hospital, Shen Chi has never properly expressed his gratitude to her. If it weren't for her own sister, she would have made the same mistake in her previous life.
"This child has been working hard since he realized how to make progress. This year he was admitted to the Law Department of the University of Political Science and Law. He said he was determined to be a lawyer." When talking about his daughter Chen Yishan, Chen Jianmin couldn't hide the smile on his face. .
Shen Chi was a little shocked when he heard this. He couldn't connect the little girl who led a gang of gangsters to cause trouble for him with a lawyer.
At noon, Chen Jianmin stayed for lunch. Knowing that Han Xiuyi didn't have a good appetite, Shen Chi went to Tangsun Village to find his godfather Sun Fuqiang, but he didn't meet anyone and went to Laichun's house to ask for a can. rice wine, and went to the orchard to pick some fresh oranges.
He scooped a few spoonfuls of rice wine, squeezed orange juice into it and mixed it with boiling water, then scooped a bowl and brought it over to Han Xiuyi.
Zheng Yuanyuan also made her a bowl of rice wine, but she added a little sugar and eggs to it. Zheng Yuansheng and Chen Wenxuan soon became acquainted, and they sat together and chatted while eating. Shen Chi poured the eggnog He put it in front of Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, remember to drink this bowl of eggnog."
The other bowl was given to Chen Jianmin: "Grandma Chen has a bad appetite, please send her this appetizing bowl of rice wine."
Chen Jianmin took it, thanked Shen Chi and gave it to his mother.
Although he learned from Zheng Yuansheng that Yuanyuan was seriously ill and Shen Chi cooked sick rice for her, Chen Wenxuan was aroused by the smell of wine and immediately said to Shen Chi: "Xiao Chi, there is also rice wine. Huh? Bring me a bowl quickly."
"There's still half a can, so I'll pour you a bowl." Shen Chi replied. "Go, go, go." Chen Wenxuan urged.
Shen Chi smiled and divided the remaining rice wine into three bowls and handed them to him, Chen Jianmin and Zheng Yuansheng.
Their wine was not mixed with water, and the wine tasted stronger. The aroma of the wine was mixed with a sweet smell. Chen Wenxuan didn't wait for Shen Chi to put down the bowl and took a swig.
"Good wine." Chen Wenxuan licked his lips for a long time before praising. He gave the other two bowls to Chen Jianmin and Zheng Yuansheng.
Zheng Yuansheng was also a good drinker. He took a sip and tasted the rare and sweet wine. Chen Wenxian finished his bowl quickly and asked Shen Chi for more.
"No, I asked for this wine to appetize Grandma Chen. I only have a small bottle for you to share." Shen Chi replied with a smile.
Chen Wenxuan was very disappointed when he heard this and said: "Why don't you order more of such a good wine?" "People rely on this to support their families, how can they order more." Shen Chi said.
When he heard that this wine was for sale, Chen Wenxuan's eyes lit up and he said to Chen Jianmin: "You can buy me a few more cans later to appetize your mother."
"I'm just here to satisfy your craving," Shen Chi said with a smile. Everyone laughed when they heard this. "You're the only one who talks too much." Chen Wenxuan also laughed and scolded.
Chen Jianmin gave his bowl to Chen Wenxuan. This time he imitated Zheng Yuansheng and tasted it slowly and carefully.
Seeing his father seeming to be sipping jade liquor, Chen Jianmin couldn't help but wonder: "Is it really that delicious? I'll ask where they sell it later, and I'll buy more to try."
During this meal, Chen Jianmin paid more attention to the food at Shen Chi's house. It was indeed as he said, four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. The dishes arranged by Mo Shengqi today are: fried shredded pork with green pepper and crispy fried fish. , Mapo tofu and stir-fried cabbage sum, the soup is tomato and egg soup.
Nowadays, the raw materials of these dishes are all produced in the villa. Compared with when Chen Wenxuan and others came here, some of them were bought outside. The dishes they tasted this time tasted many times more delicious.
Even an ordinary one
Every stir-fried green vegetable makes people want to eat everything on the plate. Now Chen Jianmin is completely relieved to leave his mother here to rest.
Chen Jianmin was worried about his mother's appetite, so as soon as he finished eating, he went to Han Xiuyi's room to see how she was eating. The doorman saw that his mother had just finished eating and the dishes on the table were empty.
Seeing his mother's appetite, Chen Jianmin said happily: "Mom, you can eat now!"
Han Xiuyi nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know what's wrong with my appetite. As soon as I got here, it became very good. I can eat it all at once."
Chen Jianmin thought that he had come to the right place this time, so he left his mother here to rest assured. In this way, Shen Chi's villa had another patient. Fortunately, this patient only had an appetite problem and did not need him. Put some thought into it.
However, Han Xiuyi's arrival gave Shen Chi an inspiration. His villa had unique conditions, and maybe it would be good to open a sanatorium.
Shen Chi did the math and found that most of the courtyard of his villa was still empty, so he could use five or six rooms to build a nursing home.
However, if a sanatorium is built, the corresponding supporting facilities must keep up.
At least the nursing staff needs to keep up, and a few more people in the kitchen need to be added. The existing staff is already somewhat insufficient.
Everything else is easy to say, except that it is getting harder and harder to recruit people.
As the reputation of Song Town gradually expands, the number of tourists is also increasing day by day. Everyone in the town and even in the surrounding areas is better off doing small business on their own than working for you.
The salary of Shen Chichi's workers has increased to 800, but it is still difficult to find people. After thinking about it, the only option is to go to the county to recruit workers.
Shen Chi has always been a man of action. Whatever he decides will be put into action immediately. What's more, now that he is older, it is much easier to do things.
What's more important is that he has no shortage of money and doesn't need to ask his parents to pay for anything he wants to do.
