Chapter 152 The Shop is Set
"Mirror, please judge for yourself. I really can't understand why they can't like anyone's child. This family has never gotten along with my family since I can remember.
Every time my dad had trouble getting his work done, it was all because of them. He was so angry that he said at home that the most unlucky thing in his life was that the Su family had such a weird relative! Now the two of them are happily getting together?" Su Yuchen was indignant. "Is it such a big deal? It's just a child. My parents didn't like their son before. They even scolded them for being crooked and saying that there was no good person in their family!"
"Maybe it's the charm of the grandparents?" Zhao Xiaojing pursed her lips. "Are they still making trouble now that your dad is working?"
"That cousin married and moved to the next village. She doesn't go back often. Her parents and her brother who is a bad boy still live across the street. Her brother is not a good guy either. He is always causing trouble and swearing.
But you know what, this time her parents are much more normal, they even have the gentle temperament of an elder holding their grandson, it's really rare." Su Yuchen shook his head and still finds it incredible.
"Maybe their generation is old and they can't make any more trouble, and your parents don't want to bother about it anymore." Zhao Xiaojing pulled Su Yuchen to sit on a chair and squeezed a glass of fresh kiwi juice for her. "It just so happens that the children act as a bridge, so the hearts of the elderly on both sides softened."
"You're right. My dad will have more white hair this time when he goes back." Su Yuchen took the kiwi juice and sighed.
"It's not just you. I don't have any relatives in Jiangcheng, but I still can't escape it. I'm also being urged to get married and have children!" Zhao Xiaojing found it funny when she thought about the train of thought of Chen Huiping and her husband during the dinner that day.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail!" Seeing something new, Su Yuchen immediately became excited.
When Zhao Xiaojing told Su Yuchen about what happened in the past two days, he couldn't help being surprised. He kept praising Zhao Xiaojing's efficiency and was amazed that she could accomplish so many things in five days.
After making the dessert in the afternoon, the two asked Chen Huiping for the key and went to see the store.
"I think this place is nice. Just do some simple renovation and buy some tables, chairs and benches. The storage room at the back is quite big. Do you want a bigger kitchen? We can knock down a wall and rebuild it." Su Yuchen looked at the two spacious shops with satisfaction. "It's a waste to only sell pork trotter rice in such a big shop. Why not sell fried skewers as well?"
"I plan to make rice topped with gravy. In addition to the pork trotter rice, I'll make something else, some meat and some vegetables, so that I can at least cook some dishes. Also, the pork trotter stew has a good marinade. In addition to the braised eggs, we can braise something else and sell it as a side dish."
Zhao Xiaojing had thought about this problem a long time ago. If she opened a shop, she would not have to worry about business as long as the pork trotter rice tasted good. But in addition to making money, she also wanted to work hard to improve her cooking skills and cook more stir-fried dishes. She couldn't just practice in the virtual space for so long every day and admire it by herself. She still had to cook it in reality and listen to the opinions of the diners before making adjustments.
“As for deep-frying the skewers, we’ll see when we hire someone. Last time, I used Chef Gu’s constant temperature deep fryer, and it opened up a new world for me.
I don't even need to find someone who can cook, just an honest person is enough. I will teach him how to use the pot, I will set the time and temperature, prepare the ingredients in advance, and he will just follow my method, just like an assembly line." Zhao Xiaojing smiled.
"Am I not a human being? Am I not honest?" Su Yuchen glared.
"You are the boss, you want to make fried skewers, then who will be doing the cashiering, waiters, and serving tea and water at the front desk?" Zhao Xiaojing glared back.
"That's good enough, just count me in." Su Yuchen laughed again.
The two of them settled the matter while chatting and laughing, and came back to find Chen Huiping to sign the contract.
There was no need to pay one month's deposit and one month's payment, and she was worried that she would not be able to turn over the renovation funds if she had to pay for half a year. In the end, it was decided to pay one month's deposit and three months' payment. Zhao Xiaojing paid 24,000 yuan in one go.
"Your uncle Wang knows a team leader of the decoration team. He is a very reliable worker and can do both half-package and full-package work. We entrust him with the plumbing, electricity and cabinet making here. You should learn about the market situation first. If you have trouble finding the right person, I will ask your uncle to introduce one to you." Chen Huiping put away the contract and gave a reminder.
"Then we won't be polite. Let's just ask Uncle Wang for help. Even if we understand the market situation, we don't understand it." When Zhao Xiaojing heard that there was a way, she turned to Su Yuchen and asked.
"I'm fine." Su Yuchen nodded casually.
"Okay, wait a minute." Chen Huiping said as she called Wang Jiandang and asked for the renovation team leader's phone number and sent it to Zhao Xiaojing.
"The renovation team leader's surname is Wu. I'll ask your uncle to tell him. Then you can say that Wang Jiandang introduced you.
He is an honest man, a little stubborn, but he is responsible for his business. To be honest, my daughter-in-law asked him to install the small supermarket when she first opened it. I was in charge of the decoration. I quarreled with him several times, and he even went to your uncle to complain!" Chen Huiping pouted.
"Then are you still willing to recommend him?" Su Yuchen asked curiously.
"Because I couldn't win the argument with him every time, so I ended up doing things according to his ideas. After the installation, I found that he was right..." Chen Huiping said aggrievedly.
Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The two returned to the kitchen and chatted and laughed while preparing the 60 servings of pork trotter rice ordered by the students and the 750 servings of sweet soup ordered by Lu Hongwen in the evening. While they were busy, they discussed ideas for the decoration.
The storage room inside was converted into a kitchen. Water and electricity had to be rerouted, waterproofing had to be done, a range hood duct had to be built, an operating table, a stove, and a ducted air conditioner had to be added. The wall also had to be demolished and rebuilt, and the layout and area of the kitchen had to be replanned.
The outside is convenient, the water, electricity and tiles are in good condition, just remove the densely packed shelves and advertising cloth on the wall, and then repaint the whole wall. Just paint it white, it's simple and looks hygienic.
Then I can go to the second-hand market to buy tables, chairs, benches, fans, air conditioners, and disinfection cabinets. Finally, I can take the existing machines and equipment, pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen and buy dozens of new sets of tableware.
The next day, the two of them made an appointment to meet with the renovation foreman.
Foreman Wu walked around the shop with an electronic measuring instrument, then looked at the blueprint with a pad. "I knew it when Lao Wang said that yesterday. I still have the blueprint of this shop. I measured it again and it matches.
You can knock down the wall, but this is the only wall in the room that can be knocked down, the others are load-bearing walls. Please tell me your specific requirements, I will take notes and measure the dimensions, and then make the drawings.”
The three of them came to the storage room. Zhao Xiaojing told them the specific requirements and her ideas. Su Yuchen supplemented them from time to time. Foreman Wu carefully wrote them down one by one, measured the dimensions and looked at the drawings from time to time and then refuted the two.
After some negotiation, the general plan and direction were decided. "Thanks to a friend who urged me to update the book every day. Not many people read the book, and your urging is my motivation to persevere~"
