Chapter 167 Put on new clothes and wait for the opening
Mrs. Shu looked at her a few more times with doubts, and found that although her clothes were clean, her knees, elbows and other parts were patched, and her trouser legs were a bit too short. It looked like she had been wearing them for many years.
It seems that this careless girl is also a miserable person.
The old lady felt pity and gave her another piece of egg pancake, "Girl, here's another piece."
Xu Ning quickly covered the mouth of the bowl and said, "No, eggs are a good thing. Leave them to the children. They will grow taller after eating them. It's useless for me to eat them."
"Auntie, if you eat it, you will gain strength. Once you are strong, it will be easier to work!" Yan Yan answered in a sweet voice.
"Auntie's strength is natural. She can do it without eating eggs." Xu Ning grabbed the chopsticks in Mrs. Shu's hand and forcibly took the piece of egg cake into Yan Yan's bowl.
High."
Xiaotuanzi reciprocated and gave her two extra-large snails, "Auntie, eat this."
Xu Ning picked up the snail and tasted it. His neck and face turned red from the spiciness, "Hey, this dish tastes good, but it's just too spicy. It makes your mouth feel like it's on fire."
"It's because you're too good at it. It's not spicy for me to eat." Shu Mingli put the empty conch shell on the table and said.
"It's a bit spicy for me, but it's quite enjoyable." The fat man hissed.
Mrs. Shu tasted two of them, but she didn't feel anything. "It's probably because our family is used to eating spicy food. You haven't eaten spicy food before, so you can't accept it for a while... So should I add spicy food to my cooking tomorrow?"
Xiaotuanzi held his chin and said seriously: "Ask the guests in advance. If the guests like to eat, put more. If they don't like to eat, put less."
"That's a good idea." Mrs. Shu kissed her cheek with a smile and praised, "My Yanbao is smart."
Then Xu Ning tried other dishes under Mrs. Shu's enthusiastic recommendation. Except for a few dishes that were too spicy, there was nothing wrong with them. The sauce was soft and fragrant, the cold dish was sour and crispy, and the steamed dish was delicious.
…
The only drawback is that she is just a rice cook, and can only try two bites of each dish... unlike the man sitting opposite her, who never opens his mouth from the beginning to the end of the meal, and only adds five bowls of rice.
It's better to eat than her.
It is simply the fighting pig among wild boars.
After sending Xu Ning's brother and sister away, Mrs. Shu gave a certain fighting pig a chestnut with her backhand, "Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. People have been looking at you, haven't you noticed?"
"Look what's wrong with me? It doesn't bother her that I eat my own food." Shu Mingli said confidently.
Shu Mingzhi patted his shoulder with admiration, "Third brother, you'd be damned if you could get a wife."
With such a straight man who only cares about food, what girl would blindly fall in love with him?

When she thought that the next day would be the opening day of the restaurant, Yan Yan was so excited that she lay awake for half the night.
That little mouth kept talking: "Grandma, how much money do you think we can make in a day?"
"Grandma, what if the guests don't like our food?"
"Grandma, what should I do if I make too much money and can't spend it all?"
"Grandma..."
Before the restaurant even opened, Xiaotuanzi's dream had already flown out of the sky, and he had already planned his life after becoming rich.
It was still dark the next day, and the whole family got up neatly.
Put on new clothes, new shoes, and new jewelry, and everyone looks more festive than during the Chinese New Year.
After several months of self-cultivation, Yan Yan's little knot has grown a lot, and with a little effort, she can comb her hair into a bun.
The two round little balls matched with her round face, making the whole person look even more delicate and cute.
Mrs. Shu looked at Huanxi, hugged her and kissed her again and again. When she left the bedroom, she met a few Ming, and they kissed her several more times.
Xiaotuanzi was so annoyed that he pouted at Lao Gao and said, "No more kissing. If you kiss again, I will give you money. Ten cents for one kiss."
The paupers called profiteers and dispersed in a hurry, shaking their heads.
Old Mrs. Shu also silently put down the iron sand palm that had been raised so high.
early in the morning
After the laughter, the two elders and the younger ones were cooking in the kitchen, while the middle one carried a basket and went around the village to buy vegetables.
Qiongzhou has a warm climate, and even in winter, every vegetable garden is green.
Common vegetables such as coriander, onions, radishes, cabbage, and spinach are grown in every household, and two kilograms per household is enough.
At first, the villagers thought they wanted to eat by themselves and refused to ask for money at any cost. Later, when they heard that they wanted to open a restaurant, they were so shocked that they slapped their thighs.
"What? You want to open a restaurant? Why did you suddenly open a restaurant?"
They are all from the same village. They are still struggling to make ends meet, but they have become bosses.
For God's sake, even if they live in a coconut tree every day, grinding a sickle to make sparks, they can't beat it!
Several old men who were familiar with Old Man Shu began to curse:
"Shu Guangzong is so unkind. He didn't tell us about such a big thing as opening a restaurant. What's wrong, are you afraid that we will block the door of his house and prevent him from going out?"
"Come on, let's go find him and ask him what he thinks about covering up so tightly."
A group of people came to Shu's house aggressively. Old Shu didn't know why, so he went out to greet them with a smile.
"Why are you here so early in the morning? Have you eaten? If not, come in and have something to eat?"
"You have the nerve to ask why we are here..." Old Man Tang put his hands on his hips and was about to attack, but the village chief made a move before him.
"I heard that your restaurant is opening today and I have to pick coconuts, so I won't go over to help. You can take this little money and treat it as a gift."
The village chief stretched out his arm and without any explanation put a handful of coins into old man Shu's hand.
Old Man Shu had a smile on his face, "Oh my, how embarrassing this is."
Old man Tang on the side: "???"
We agreed to fight together, but you went behind my back and even prepared gifts?
Villagers from several households pulled out baskets of vegetables and stuffed them into his hand, "My family is poor and we don't have much to give as a gift, so just treat this as a gift. Don't dislike it."
Others rushed into the yard to deliver food, while old Tang, who was empty-handed, hid in a corner and searched his pockets. In the end, he searched his whole body but couldn't find a penny. He was so angry that he gave the village chief a hard kick.
"Bad thing, if you don't call me when you are giving gifts, I will let the dog bite you next time you come to my house!"
After that, he hurried home to get the money.
The villagers were so enthusiastic that Old Shu felt embarrassed, "I've accepted all the gifts, so it's shameless to ignore the meal. Let's do this. After these two days of busy work, I'll invite everyone to a restaurant for dinner."
"The relationship is good, then you have to bring out the best dishes in your store. We won't want to miss out!" A man joked with him with a smile.
Old Man Shu waved his hand proudly, "Don't worry, we have good wine and meat ready!"
The men outside were chatting lively, and some aunts in the kitchen were also joking about Mrs. Shu being unkind and hiding such a big happy event as opening a restaurant.
Mrs. Shu smiled and patted her head, saying she was busy and forgot, and reminded them that they would order a variety of dishes in the future, which would be used every day in the restaurant, and buying other people's food would be buying it anyway, so it would be better to make it cheaper for yourself.
The aunts agreed quite happily. It takes half a year to harvest crops, so the time to grow vegetables is short. One crop is harvested every three or two months. Who wouldn't be happy to grow vegetables?
