Chapter 311: Uninvited Guest
Sophie listened to her husband's story, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
The instructor is really still the same instructor, he is a man with affection and righteousness. In order to give an explanation to his comrades-in-arms, he has kept his promise all these years.
Sophie's affection for the instructor was deeper than Murong Guang's affection for him, because she had stayed with the instructor longer than Murong Guang.
At the time of the training camp, Murong Guang was a cadet, and Sophie was a logistics support officer. She worked with the instructor for more than a year, and finally she was promoted to the special training team only after the instructor's recommendation.
She has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the instructor all these years, and she is even more concerned about this matter than Murong Guang.
I didn't expect him to be Jiang Yue's master, and he was so close to him.
"Where is the instructor, I'll go see him tomorrow. ”
"I find it a mistake to tell you this, and you will definitely scare him away if you go to see him with such fanfare, and it will be even more difficult to see him again in the future. ”
"Does he want to live like this for the rest of his life? That's not the life he should live. He has made great contributions to the country and the people. This is too unfair to him, and I will avenge him. ”
Sophie is very stubborn, and she is now in tears.
"How do you know that he was wronged? There are many things that you don't know at all, how could the state forget such a meritorious hero? At that time, it was he who took the initiative to ask for discharge from the army, and the state has been giving him subsidies all these years, giving him more than 100,000 yuan every year. But he never used any of the money, and donated it all to the children in the mountains through the Red Cross. ”
"Did he tell you all about it?" asked Sophie quickly.
"Yes, the instructor told me personally. He has been out of the army for so many years, he has lived in isolation for so many years, even if he goes out of the mountains now, can he still adapt to this era? You may not have thought about these questions, Jiang Yue is his proud disciple, and now the economic foundation is so good. Wouldn't it be better to stay and live in Dengzhou, why should we break his peaceful life?"
"Well, that's true to hear you say that, but I'd love to see him. ”
"The instructor said that if you want to have a drink with him, you can go to him at any time, as long as he is in Dengzhou, will we have fewer chances to meet? But this secret must be kept, and in a few days I will ask him out for a drink alone, find a secluded place, or invite him to my home. ”
"Hmm. You're a good idea, I'll listen to your arrangement. After Murong Guang's enlightenment, Sophie finally agreed.
Murong Guang and Sophie couldn't sleep for a long time, and they recalled the time they spent with the instructor in the past.
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they didn't go to sleep until the second half of the night.
Jiang Yue didn't know what was happening, he just went to work every day and then accompanied his mother in the hospital.
Three days have passed, and Jiang's mother's physical recovery is getting better and better.
"Second aunt, I'll take you to a place to have a look. After lunch, Jiang Yue said to the second aunt.
"I have to wait for your mother in the hospital, when will I go out with you to see the scenery. The second aunt thought that Jiang Yue was going to take her out to see the scenery.
"Second aunt, you better go with Jiang Yue, you must like that place. The hospital has me here, do you still have to worry?" Tong Rou persuaded with a smile.
"Okay, I'll check it out and I'll be back. The second aunt finally agreed.
Jiang Yue took the second aunt to the next door of Zhao Junru's hotel, and the second aunt looked up and saw that there was a four-word plaque with the words "Dagu Dough" hanging on the door.
"Second aunt, this is what I gave you, do you like it?"
At this time, if the second aunt still doesn't understand what is going on, she will be a fool, she looked at the door plaque and suddenly smiled from ear to ear.
"Second aunt, let's go in and have a look. Zhao Junru walked out of the hotel at this time, and he led the second aunt into the store.
It is a small shop of only 60 square meters, and the interior decoration is antique.
On the four walls of the wall, some promotional texts and pictures about the origin of Otani Prefecture's dough are hung, and the interior decoration has been completed.
Whether it is the decoration from the inside to the outside, or the environment here, the second aunt likes it very much.
"Second aunt, do you like it?" Jiang Yue asked with a smile.
"Yes, of course I did. How much does the rent and renovation cost in total, I'll give you back. ”
"Second aunt, I don't have much money. Because the landlord is in a hurry to rent, the rent is not expensive, only more than 50,000 yuan. The decoration was done by ourselves, and it didn't cost a few dollars. ”
"Silly boy, am I stupid when you are the second aunt? Don't you give money for the materials you decorate, you have to pay the labor salary, how much does it cost in total, the second aunt must give you money. ”
"Second aunt, it cost less than 70,000 yuan in total. I don't need you to give me money for the time being, how about you give me money when you make money?"
"I can still take out this money, and I'll take it back to you. It's not easy for you to live in the city, how can I bother you. ”
Jiang Yue was speechless after hearing this, if it was not easy for herself, would those part-time workers still have a way to live?
The rent here is very expensive, and it cost nearly 200,000 yuan to rent this store, and a total of 250,000 yuan to rent this store.
Jiang Yue only wanted to rent the house here, mainly because it was convenient to take care of it next door to Zhao Junru.
And the business here must not be bad, after all, the popularity is here, and there should be no problem selling it for one or two thousand yuan a day.
The dough in my hometown is really delicious, and the craftsmanship of the second aunt is not bad.
Coupled with her kindness, business will definitely be able to get started.
Of course, it doesn't matter what she earns, but as long as the second aunt is happy and happy, this is the biggest wish of these juniors.
"Let's open for business in a while, and I'll come back when your mom is almost ready." ”
"Don't mind, second aunt. The rent here is so high, if you don't open for business, you will lose two or three hundred yuan a day. My mom is much better now, and it's basically no problem to have my dad and Tong Rou to take care of her. There are other people who have helped take care of it, so I think you should open your doors as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Yue hurriedly persuaded Zhao Junru to help the round on the side, and finally the second aunt reluctantly agreed to have a trial operation the day after tomorrow.
Jiang Yue arranged for someone to send the second aunt back to the hospital, and the second uncle also came to Zhao Junru's hotel at this time.
He stood in front of his new store and watched for a while, and the children really took great pains to keep them in Dengzhou for a long time.
"Boy, how much does this shop cost?"
"Second uncle, I spent a lot of money, almost 70,000 yuan. Jiang Yue said seriously.
"Stinky boy, what about you going to the grave to burn newspapers and fool ghosts? Even you dare to deceive me, you really think of me as your second aunt's foolish girl?" The second uncle tapped Jiang Yue's forehead twice with his fingers.
"Hey, hey. Second uncle, this store cost about 250,000 yuan. It seems that nothing can be hidden from your old eyes, you are really an old fox. ”
"Little cub, you are still a little tender when you play with me, Lao Tzu has eaten more salt than you have ever eaten rice. ”
"That's, that's, you're so well-informed, how can we compare with you. Zhao Junru said flatteringly on the side.
"You don't make a fool of yourself, and you spend so much money to invest in renting such a store, you really take great pains. Have you ever calculated how much money you have to sell a day to get back your money?"
"Second uncle, the city is not as good as the countryside. It costs ten yuan a bowl to sell noodles here, and many girls can eat a bowl of noodles at noon. Then there's milk and drinks, and some grilled sausages and stuff like that. More than 100 bowls a day are almost enough. ”
"You said it easily, it is very good to be able to sell a few hundred yuan a day in the county seat, but it is still necessary to sell more than 100 bowls a day to be able to make a profit? ”
"Second uncle, I won't understand it to you for a while, I'll know when you do it. After my calculations, I will never lose money, not only will I not lose money, but I will also make money. ”
"Okay, let's do it first. If you don't make money, don't blame me for beating your kid's ass, it's okay to coax your second aunt, but if you coax me, it's absolutely not okay. ”
"Don't worry, second uncle. It is scheduled to open the day after tomorrow, and you will know how hot the business is when you open for a few days. ”
Jiang Yue patted his chest, he was full of confidence and made a guarantee, the second uncle smiled and didn't speak again.
In the afternoon, the second uncle took the second aunt to start Zhang Luo, because the day after tomorrow will be ready for a trial operation.
Two days later, Otani Dough officially opened its doors.
In the morning, Jiang Hu and others began to help here, and there was an endless stream of people delivering flower baskets when they opened the door at eight o'clock in the morning.
Ji Teng, Xiaoxiao, Sun Dahai, Xiao Jing, Pi San, etc., each bought two flower baskets and sent them over.
By ten o'clock in the morning, the door was already full of flower baskets, at least a few hundred.
The second uncle's face was not good-looking when he saw these flower baskets, not only was it not good-looking, but he was also a little angry.
"Boy, what are you doing here? The opening of a noodle shop is so pompous, are you showing me that you are very powerful in Dengzhou?"
The second uncle called Jiang Yue over and scolded him.
"No, second uncle. Look at who sent these flower baskets, Mei Yuting, Xiuxiu, Yang Jingyi, these people are all their own people. Huzi, Liuzi, and Niuniu are all their own children. Xiaoxiao, they can see you every day, everyone sent a flower basket to congratulate you to express your heart, can you refuse? Besides, I didn't let them send it, what can I do if they send it themselves?"
Jiang Yue was so frightened that he hurriedly explained that he didn't want to make the second uncle angry, in fact, he really didn't publicize that this was a flower basket spontaneously given by everyone.
"Second uncle, you really blame my brother for this. If you want to blame it, your popularity is too good, and everyone is very willing to deal with your old people during your time. Isn't it just two flower baskets, one or two hundred yuan, are you so old as to be so angry?"
Jiang Yi hurriedly persuaded on the side, and only when Jiang Yi spoke would he not get angry.
Jiang Yi was the youngest of the children who practiced martial arts with him, and the second uncle and second aunt loved Jiang Yi the most and rarely lost their temper with him.
"Although it is one or two hundred yuan, it is also a favor, and I don't want to owe others a favor. The second uncle muttered, but he didn't bother about it anymore.
From half-past eleven, the store was packed. After eating, everyone was full of praise and said that this dough was authentic and delicious.
The second aunt couldn't be busy at all, so Zhao Junru temporarily transferred two cooks and two waiters from the store to help.
I couldn't sit down in the store, so I asked the guests to eat at Zhao Junru's restaurant.
The ingredients that the second aunt bought for two days were all sold out at half past one, making her tired and sweating.
Duan Hongsheng has also been busy, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Second aunt, now that there are finally no customers, hurry up and get a few bowls of noodles for us to eat. Jiang Yi shouted loudly beside him.
"You think beautifully, I don't want to recruit Mr. Bai Shi, you don't have to eat today. ”
"Second uncle, you won't be so slamming now, are you, you are reluctant to even give us a bowl of dough?"
"Jiang Yi, you really can't eat at noon today, and now you have no raw materials. If you want to eat, you have to wait for the afternoon, and I will go with your second uncle to buy it later. The second aunt hurriedly said with a smile next to her.
"Hey, second aunt, you can make a fortune now, how much did you sell for lunch today?" Jiang Yi's expression was very exaggerated.
"I just counted it, it's almost more than two thousand dollars. ”
"Not bad, not bad. It's really good to have this result on the first day, keep up the good work. ”
"You boys are guarding the door here, and I will go with your second uncle to buy raw materials and come back to make noodles for you to eat. ”
Today's business is very hot, and the popularity is more than Jiang Yue and they imagined.
If the business has been so good, the second aunt will definitely stay in Dengzhou for a long time, which is what Jiang Yue and they are most willing to see.
There was an endless stream of people eating dough in the afternoon, and the second aunt was almost not idle.
At night, there was another peak, and the second aunt was tired enough at the end of the day.
"It's eight o'clock, there shouldn't be many people down there, I'm really tired today. The second aunt stretched out her arm.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked in from the outside, and if it weren't for the wrinkles on her face caused by the years, no one would have believed that this was a woman who was nearly fifty years old.
She has a unique temperament, and she is domineering all over her body.
Seeing the woman Duan Hongsheng coming in, his face froze, although so many years had passed, he still recognized her at a glance.
She is none other than Xiaoxiao's mother--- Sophie.
Sophie looked at Duan Hongsheng as if she saw a stranger, she didn't talk to Duan Hongsheng, but found a random place to sit down.
"Boss, bring me a bowl of dough, I want a small bowl. ”
Then she sat there with a blank face, waiting.
Duan Hongsheng was embarrassed, he didn't know what to say.
There were other customers eating noodles in the shop, and Sophie obviously didn't want to talk to him.
If Sophie didn't recognize him, she was a fool, so she came to eat the dough because she knew she was here.
