Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 443 Ancient Business Manual 18

Although they have moved to Dugu Town now, Zhujie Village is their roots after all. They both feel proud to do something beneficial to the village.

Moreover, Chu Yuan has already made up her mind that the manager of the workshop will be Chu's father's uncle, who is also her great-grandfather. Chu's father grew up in his uncle's house since he was a child and received a lot of care from them. Now she is repaying her father's kindness.

After Chu's father knew about this, he burst into tears and patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "Big girl, although your great grandfather's family didn't treat me as well as their own children, they were able to give me food and raise me safely in those years, which was considered to be the most benevolent thing they could do.

Don't worry, given the character of your great grandfather's family, they will definitely not harm you, you can be completely assured in leaving the matter of the bamboo charcoal workshop to him."

Chu Yuan nodded. She of course knew this. According to the original owner's memory, the relatives she met in this life were all pretty good.

Chu's father has his great-grandfather's family on his side, and Chu's mother cannot favor one over the other. She plans to let her two uncles be the leaders of the bamboo charcoal workshop, responsible for supervising the workers to burn qualified bamboo charcoal.

This time when I return to the village, the business of the beverage shop will be handed over to Xia Yu. Anyway, Shunzi and the maid named Qiujuan have already gotten the hang of it. As for the cashier, the accounting office bought some time ago can take over for a few days.

She has already drawn new blueprints for the decoration of the hot pot restaurant and hired bricklayers and carpenters. Now she has to ask Shang Jinhe to take charge of this matter.

After all, he is now the second boss of this store, so it is only right for him to contribute.

If it were in the past, Shang Jinhe would definitely not take this job, but he had no choice but to go to the store and pretend to do the business as he had just been cleared by his father yesterday.

Facing Chu Yuan's request, he said reluctantly: "Well, I'll keep an eye on it for you during the few days you're away. Remember to come back early."

After arranging everything, Chu Yuan hired a carriage and took his parents back to the village. Now that they had saved some money and were about to open a second shop, they no longer had to live such a tight life.

Compared to the bumpy donkey cart she took when she moved to Dugu Town, this time she chose a more comfortable and more expensive horse carriage.

At first, Chu's father and mother were still reluctant to spend the money, but now the person in charge of the family has gradually shifted from Chu's father to Chu Yuan, so they can only listen to their daughter's arrangements and return to Zhujie Village.

A few months after they moved out, their old house in the village was still in good condition and not all of their belongings had been moved out, so they just needed a little cleaning to move in.

After resting for a night, Chu's father took the specialties he brought back from Dugu Town to his uncle's house to discuss the making of bamboo charcoal. Chu Yuan followed his mother back to her mother's home in the next village to find his two uncles.

It is not difficult to burn bamboo charcoal, and it does not require much manpower to set up a small workshop.

After deciding on the person in charge, they recruited a few workers from the village, and together they built an adobe house on the wasteland that the Chu family had previously been allocated. This became a workshop.

The first batch of bamboo charcoal was fired under the guidance of Chu Yuan. The quality was not much different from her expectations and was considered qualified.

After everything went as planned, Chu Yuan prepared to set off back to Dugu Town. He had been away for more than a week this time. Xia Yu reported that the beverage shop's business was pretty good. It seemed that the shop could operate as usual even without them.

On the way back, they hired a horse carriage as usual, but the difference this time was that there were two donkey carts following behind.

All that was pulled up was the bamboo charcoal that had been fired in the workshop in the past few days. From now on, someone would use a donkey cart to deliver it directly to her store every once in a while.

After a day of hard work, Chu Yuan returned to their house in Dugu Town and sighed, "How come I just went home but it felt like I was traveling far away?"

Mother Chu smiled silently: "Maybe it's because there is nothing there that makes you miss it."

......

The next morning, after a good sleep, Chu Yuan got up, ate a piece of bread, and set out to inspect the hot pot restaurant.

She had to go and see how the store had been renovated while she was away.

Because this shop was originally a teahouse, the layout of the first-floor lobby and the private rooms upstairs basically do not need to be changed. The main point is that the kitchen needs to be renovated and the decoration inside the store needs to be beautified, so the work can be done quickly.

When she arrived at the store door, Shang Jinhe was already inside, directing two workers to move tables, chairs and benches inside.

"Hey? You're finally back! I've been here from dawn to dusk these past few days, come and take a look, is the layout in line with your requirements?"

Seeing the strong desire for praise in his eyes, Chu Yuan almost couldn't help but want to touch his head. So cute!

She suppressed her inner throbbing and nodded solemnly, "Yes, you have worked hard these past few days, Master Shang."

Seeing that she was satisfied, Shang Jinhe could not wait to follow suit: "When can you cook hot pot for me again? I have been thinking about it for a long time since we had it that day!"

It turned out that he was waiting for her here, but how could she not agree to such a simple request? It just so happened that two trucks of bamboo charcoal were brought over this time, so Shang Jinhe could experience real hot pot.

"Okay, let's cook it tonight."

"awesome!"

After the workers finished installing the tables, chairs and benches, the decoration of the hot pot restaurant was completed.

The lobby on the first floor is filled with ordinary tables, while the private rooms on the second floor are of varying sizes, including a large round table that can accommodate more than a dozen people, and a normal dining table for four people. The layout of the private rooms is slightly more luxurious than that of the lobby on the first floor.

The design of the VIP box on the third floor is even more complicated. The tables and chairs are made of fine wood, and the chairs are covered with soft leather, making them more comfortable to sit in.

In order to reward Shang Jinhe for his hard work over the past few days, Chu Yuan specially invited him to dine in the luxurious box on the third floor, and also made four kinds of hot pot bases, which were served in a four-grid iron pot.

They are spicy beef oil pot, mushroom soup pot, tomato pot and Tom Yum Goong pot.

At the same time, various ingredients including fatty beef, fresh-cut lamb, shrimp balls, tripe, crab sticks, fish tofu, etc. were prepared, which will definitely make him enjoy the meal.

After everything was ready, plates of dishes were brought to the table by the waiter who had bought them earlier.

"Huh? Why are these ingredients served before they are cooked?" It was Shang Jinhe's first time to eat real hotpot, so he was a little confused when he saw this scene.

Chu Yuan explained, "This is how real hot pot is eaten. Last time, we didn't have charcoal fire, so we had to prepare everything in the kitchen and serve it up."

Then she stood up and demonstrated it herself: "Just like this, choose the dish you want to eat, put it in the pot you like, and cook it. When it's cooked, you can eat it."
