Chapter 165 Summer Solstice Letter
Chunni put her worries aside and began to wonder whether she should start growing mushrooms this year. At that time, Xia Zhi's letter arrived at Lion Rock after a long journey.
Chunni was also very excited when she saw Xiazhi's letter.
"The last time Xia Zhi wrote to me was several months ago. I don't know what he will say. Let me take a look first."
Chunni's eyes became brighter and brighter as Xiazhi's letter came, and her smile became wider. She said to Donglin happily: "Donglin, your brother is coming home during the Chinese New Year!"
Dong Lin was also very happy. During those years of relying on each other, the four siblings developed an extremely firm and deep relationship.
"Oh my, it's only a little over a month away! So should we clean up the house in advance? Well, the room next to the restaurant is fine, I'll go clean it up later."
Old Madam Chu was also very fond of her grandson Xia Zhi whom she had never met. She held Dong Lin's hand and said, "Don't worry, Dong Lin, you can pack a week in advance. Come and see what gifts grandma brought you first."
Dong Lin is now in junior high school and has become sensible. He knows that the house will be dusty if it is cleaned up now, so he just started looking at the gifts when his grandmother interrupted him.
The next day, Chunni started to busy herself with the affairs of the branch store. She still had to find staff from Shizishan, after all, she knew the ins and outs of the people. She had already found a chef, Yang Yaobei. Yang Yaobei's name was Yang Longan, and he was Chunni's grandfather. Although Yang Longan had good skills, he was also a country boy. Before going south, Chunni arranged for him to go to Chunni Restaurant to learn from Li Shufen. Li Shufen was going to be in charge in the city, so Chunni no longer paid her a salary, and directly negotiated a 10% interest income distribution. The county recruited another young man named Yang Guotao as a waiter, and together with the chefs Yang Longan, Yang Chunxing, and Sun Damei, they stayed in the county's Chunni Restaurant.
In the city, Li Shufen is still the chef, Yang Xiaochan, and two new employees, one named Sun Xiaoxi and the other named Yang Bangli. It takes two hours to get from the city to the county by bus, so people in the city can't go home every day. This store also has two floors, the lower floor is for business, and the upper floor is used as a staff dormitory.
Before leaving for the county, Li Shufen said to Chunni with some emotion, "Ah, Lion Mountain is missing so much fun without me!"
She is afraid that no one will talk to her about gossip in the city. Her gossiping heart remains as strong as ever!
Chunni transferred Wen Hua to the city's Lirenfang as the store manager.
Comrade Wen Hua, who has suffered a lot, no, Comrade Wen Hua, is more tenacious and not afraid of hardship than her peers. She is also a talkative and cheerful person, which makes her very suitable for the sales job.
Chunni made an agreement with Wen Hua that she would not receive salary but would only take 10% of the shares.
Li Shufang was in charge of the Lirenfang in the county and also took a 10% stake.
The store was again short of staff, so Chunni carefully selected four girls from Lion Mountain, two for each store.
The preliminary preparations had been completed, and Chunni asked Old Master Chu to help her pick a double date to open the store.
After the new store opened, Chunni ran back and forth between the county and the city, and didn't pay much attention to Xiazhi. When the new store was on the right track, Chunni remembered Xiazhi, but it was already past the time for Xiazhi to return home. Chunni and her family waited and waited and finally received a letter from Xiazhi. The letter said that Xiazhi had gone on a mission and would not return for an unknown date.
Chunni was tired of waiting, so she decided to go up the mountain to look for wood suitable for growing mushrooms. She was lucky enough to find a patch of Cyclobalanopsis glauca on a hillside in the middle of Lion Rock. This tree is very hard and very suitable for growing mushrooms.
You may not know much about the Cyclobalanopsis glauca, but you will know about the oak. The Cyclobalanopsis glauca is a treasure. Its fruit, the acorn, can be used as feed, and after processing, it can also be made into tofu, starch, and even wine. The wood is very hard and is the best choice for furniture and construction. I heard that the Cyclobalanopsis glauca was also used for shipbuilding in ancient times!
Chunni chose the Cyclobalanopsis glauca, which is of course particularly suitable for growing mushrooms. She selected several tall and strong Cyclobalanopsis glauca trees, had them sawed into sections, and transported them back to the backyard. She then drilled many small holes in each section, put the mushroom spores she had collected in the mountains this year into them, and left everything to time.
