Sun Xiaoying was flying around the store like a little swallow, and her happy giggles could be heard everywhere in the air.
Li Youran looked at the excited girl and was filled with emotion. Finally there was a shop, and sister Xiaoying no longer had to stand on the street selling buns in the cold weather, with her hands and face turning red from the cold. Alas, it was really difficult for her during this time, a poor family.
It’s not easy being a girl.
Li Youran took out a floor plan from the counter, spread it out, and started planning the store. The hall on the first floor can accommodate six rectangular tables for four people, three on each side, with a passage in the middle. The stove, operating table and shelves in the kitchen need to be replaced.
The location, well, according to the requirements of a regular restaurant, it also needs to be equipped with an ozone disinfection cabinet, a food preservation cabinet, a fire extinguisher, etc. There are three rooms on the second floor, the big one is used as a warehouse, and the other two smaller ones are used as bedrooms. I and my sister Xiaoying
One room per person. Two simple rooms can be built in the backyard for temporary accommodation of future employees.
In order to save money, the decoration of the original store can be left largely unchanged. Just remove the peeling wall skin and repaint it. Apply varnish to some wooden furniture in the business area, remove surface stains on the floor tiles and wall tiles, and scrape off the original grout.
Just fill them with new ones. The two bathrooms on the first and second floors are too old and need to be renovated. Li Youran hates restaurants that have a bright appearance but a messy bathroom. Also, in order to increase production, he needs to go to
Customize a batch of large bamboo cages, and buy some new dishes. In addition, put two large water tanks in the kitchen production area. In order to improve the quality of steamed buns, from now on, we will use spatial stream water for cooking noodles. Obediently
, which adds up to a considerable expense.
"Xiaoying, come here, let's go upstairs." Li Youran put down the floor plan and shouted.
Sun Xiaoying ran over in response and went up to the second floor with Li Youran.
"These two rooms are bedrooms, you choose one." Li Youran raised his arm and pointed at the two small rooms.
"Yeah." Sun Xiaoying happily ran to one of the rooms, looked around, and then ran to another room. After going back and forth two or three times, she finally decided on the one inside.
"Here, put pink wallpaper on the wall, and hang some paintings of sunflowers and chrysanthemums. Well, on the top are colorful crystal lamps, blue curtains, white wooden beds and dressing tables, and then put
Two big plush bears, and with wooden floors on the ground, I can walk barefoot." Sun Xiaoying's eyes lit up as she excitedly planned her room.
Li Youran looked at the girl with a smile. Sun Xiaoying was embarrassed and stuck out her tongue.
"I'm just thinking about it. I know, now we have to prepare for the store opening, how can we have the spare money to do this."
"This is a rental shop, and it's just a temporary residence. When our business grows bigger in the future, we will buy our own big house. When the time comes, we will choose the best room for you and decorate it however you want." Li Youran said firmly.
said.
"Brother Youran, can we also buy a house in this city? I've heard that it's so expensive, but I never dared to think about it." Sun Xiaoying looked at Li Youran, her eyes full of expectation.
"Yes, there will definitely be." Li Youran nodded with a calm expression.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
After looking at the shop, Li Youran took Sun Xiaoying back to the old house in the basement of Anhua Road. After lunch, Li Youran asked Sun Xiaoying to
Go and find Aunt Qi. Aunt Qi heard about the store and was very happy. The three of them discussed the recent work together.
Because they have to prepare for the opening of a new store, the steamed stuffed bun stall can only be temporarily closed. Li Youran is responsible for the store opening procedures, sign customization, basement check-out and settlement, etc. Aunt Qi and Sun Xiaoying jointly handle the customization of new baskets and the purchase of tableware. The store
The renovation work needed to be done, so Aunt Qi asked her husband to contact a few renovation workers. As for moving, in order to save money, she made a few more trips by herself. Fortunately, the two of them didn't have much.
In addition, in order to save time, the cleaning work of the store and the renovation work of the decoration workers were carried out simultaneously. Aunt Qi's husband and son took time to come over to help. Li Youran also planned to catch Fatty Luo's young man. Fatty's workplace is not too far away from the new store.
Far, anyway, you have nothing to do when you get off work. That guy is very strong, so there is no need to regret it.
The work arrangements were completed. In the afternoon, Li Youran took Xiaoying and Aunt Qi to a nearby community hospital for a physical examination and received a health certificate, which is a necessary procedure for applying for a health license. Then they split up as planned.
Li Youran rode a bicycle to deliver the health certificates of the three people to Fatty, and then found a photo agency on the street to customize light box advertisements and signboards.
"Sir, what's the name of your shop?" the staff asked.
Li Youran pondered for a while. Several popular and trendy names had already been passed by on the road. He sold traditional food, and his main concept was green and organic. It was better to have a simple name. Finally, Li Youran wrote on a white paper
The words "Youran Farm Bun Shop" were added.
The staff member took the paper and nodded.
"Okay, you pay the deposit first and you can pick it up in three days."
After coming out of the photo agency, Li Youran went to find the landlord in the basement. After settling the rent for the two rooms, the two parties agreed to move within five days.
"I'm finally leaving here." Li Youran looked at Room B-105, where he had lived for a year and a half, and felt a sense of reluctance in his heart.
In the next few days, the three of them devoted all their energy to the preparation of the bun shop.
During this period, Aunt Qi's husband and son also came to the store to help. Uncle Qi is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a medium build, probably because he often works at construction sites. His face is dark, and there are crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He speaks very little.
, always had a simple and honest smile on his face. He was very grateful to Li Youran. It happened that the construction site had been suspended recently, so he took the initiative to come over and help.
My son, Qi Song, is fifteen years old and is in his first year of high school. He is a small boy with a somewhat introverted and shy personality. But he is very sensible and often helps Aunt Qi run the stalls and do chores. This time was no exception. He came to the store as soon as school was over.
Busy here.
There are many people to work with, and with the help of several decoration workers hired by Uncle Qi, the store project is progressing rapidly.
On this day, Li Youran and Sun Xiaoying were cleaning up in the store when they suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door.
"Ranzi! Ranzi!" The voice was very familiar.
Sun Xiaoying frowned and said dissatisfied:
"It must be that stinky fat guy."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense, your fat brother will be angry if he hears it." Li Youran quickly stopped.
Sun Xiaoying responded with a grimace.
Li Youran opened the glass shop door and walked out. He immediately saw Fatty Luo, who was dressed like a bear and was standing outside. There was a tall girl wearing a red down jacket next to him. The girl had short ear-length hair, which showed her appearance.
She has a smooth and fair oval face, her eyes are not big, but she is very energetic, and her nose is slightly upturned, which gives people a playful feeling and looks very cute. She is none other than the fat man's girlfriend Gu Weiwei.
"Come in, come in, this is it." Li Youran greeted.
Fatty and Gu Weiwei walked into the store and looked around curiously.
"Not bad, not bad, it's really like that, but you are also the big boss." The fat man was quite satisfied with the store.
"We can't talk about it yet, but we will soon." Li Youran said without humility.
"Okay, Boss Li, let me taste ten buns first to see if your craftsmanship has improved." The fat man said impatiently.
Li Youran shook his head, picked up a large apron and handed it to the fat man.
"Take off your coat and help me clean up the second floor. I've been busy with the store these days and don't have time to make steamed buns. Let's make some noodles later."
"You stinky boy, you treat me like a donkey. I go through the formalities for you and do your work for you. You can't even bear to take out a steamed bun. It's more ruthless than Zhou Papi." When the fat man heard that there was no steamed bun to eat, he was very angry.
for dissatisfaction.
Gu Weiwei saw the fat man dancing around, saliva flying everywhere, she smiled, stretched out her hand and punched him on the arm.
"Look at your stupidity, like a hungry ghost reincarnated, making people laugh. Change your clothes quickly and help Ranzi work."
The fat man had no choice but to put on his apron slowly, with a look of grievance on his face.
Gu Weiwei ignored him, turned her eyes, and saw Sun Xiaoying in a yellow apron by the window. Her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she burst out with joy.
Li Youran quickly introduced:
"This is my sister Sun Xiaoying, and this is sister Weiwei."
"Hello, sister Weiwei." Sun Xiaoying said softly.
Gu Weiwei walked over quickly and hugged Sun Xiaoying affectionately in her arms.
"Sister Xiaoying, you are so cute." Gu Weiwei stroked Sun Xiaoying's black braids with pity, feeling that she was like her own sister.
Sun Xiaoying also felt fond of this big sister whom she met for the first time. She obediently pressed her face against Gu Weiwei's chest.
"What's so cute? She's just a wild girl, poking around. Weiwei, you have to be careful." Fatty looked at the affectionate sisters, frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
Sun Xiaoying glared at the fat man without showing any signs of weakness, and then buried her head in Gu Weiwei's arms as if she was frightened.
Gu Weiwei opened her eyes wide and glared angrily at this guy who was ruining the atmosphere. The fat man didn't dare to look at him, and he felt weak and quickly lowered his eyelids.
"You damn fat man, don't bully sister Xiaoying. Otherwise, I'll make you look good!" Gu Weiwei hugged Sun Xiaoying tightly, her posture was like an old hen protecting her baby.
"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable." Fatty Luo shook his head repeatedly.
"What did you say?!"
"Nothing. Ranzi, where are the stairs? Let's go upstairs." Fatty Luo quickly turned his head and looked for Li Youran.
Li Youran walked over with a chuckle, took the fat man's arm, and led him to the second floor.
"Come on, I told you a long time ago, but you didn't listen, so you're going to suffer a lot now."
"Your upstairs is well decorated, isn't it? Living on the second floor is much better than the basement before." Fatty Luo changed the subject, and his expression quickly returned to normal.
It seems that the system is there to train people, and Li Youran deeply admires him.
