Chapter 244: Gongs and Drums
"No problem. I said right away.
Wangbeard's restaurant is still handy.
We pedestrians arrived at the shrimp shop, I saw the signboard at the door of the store at a glance, the signboard said "Xinxiang shrimp king" four words, when I left the new signboard has not been delivered, I didn't expect to see it when I came back.
The name of this store was discussed by me with the third grandfather, although it is cheesy, but it is easy to remember, and it is quite suitable for this kind of small county.
"That's good!" Mengxue's mother nodded again and again when she saw the restaurant: "This store is really yours?"
"It's not. I just shook my head.
"What!" Mengxue's mother's face changed greatly.
"And Mengxue. I laughed.
Mengxue's mother's face immediately turned cloudy, but Mengxue glared at me.
"Auntie, the store is still being renovated, do you want to go in and have a look?" I asked.
"Come in, I have to check my girl's shop. "Mengxue's mother is not polite at all.
After walking around the store, Mengxue's mother nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, better than I imagined." ”
"Auntie, this hasn't been renovated yet, and when the business opens next year, you are welcome to come again." ”
"That's for sure, I'm definitely coming. Mengxue's mother waved her hand.
"That...... Your business is not small, and there must be many people in need, so my little tree will come to help you, no problem. Mengxue's mother said to me.
"No problem, but don't use it now, the shrimp shop won't officially open until next summer, Brother Shu can come over in April, I definitely won't treat Brother Shu badly." I laughed.
"That's pretty much it. Mengxue's mother nodded with satisfaction.
After a walk around the store, then I sent Mengxue's family to a nearby hotel, and in the evening I booked a table of banquets to entertain Mengxue's family, I ordered the largest hotel in the city, halfway through the meal, suddenly Mr. Ma pushed the door in.
"Xiaoyu, why don't you look for me when you come to dinner. "Ma is always a little drunk.
Ma and I are finally partners, Mr. Ma, you are familiar with him, he has become more easy-going, and the strength of the gentleman has become a lot more restrained.
Mr. Ma was supported by a female secretary, Mr. Ma was holding a wine bottle in his hand, and he picked up a cup and poured me a glass of wine.
"To you. "Mr. Ma stuffed the wine glass in my hand.
"Mr. Ma, I should respect you. I hurried.
"You're kind to me. Mr. Ma squinted and said.
I had a drink with Mr. Ma, and I originally wanted to introduce Mr. Ma to Mengxue's family, but Mr. Ma drank with me and left, and he didn't look at the others at the table at all.
"What a man, no politeness at all. After Mr. Ma left, Mengxue's mother slapped the table.
"Auntie, don't be angry, Mr. Ma is like this, he is actually not a bad person. I advised.
After eating and drinking, I asked the waiter to pay, but the waiter didn't come but a manager came, and the manager said to me politely: "Your table is free, Mr. Ma has said hello." ”
I bowed it, Mr. Ma was really polite.
"That's pretty much it. Mengxue's mother snorted, and the satisfaction on her face became more obvious.
Mengxue stayed in the hotel at night, Qin Qiang and I went back to the rented room, and when Qin Qiang entered the door, he said angrily: "Look at her snobbish appearance!"
I know who Qin Qiang said, and I'm not good at talking, I sighed when I was lying in bed at night, Mengxue's mother seemed to be ready to accept me, sometimes I really couldn't help it, and I couldn't do it if I wasn't tactful.
After lunch the next day, Mengxue's family was ready to go back, and before getting into the car, Mengxue's mother took Mengxue's hand and said, "You have to be obedient to grandma, don't make trouble for me." ”
I stood aside with a snickering face, Mengxue's mother had already promised Mengxue to do things with me, Mengxue's mother looked at me when she told Mengxue, and there was a deep warning in her eyes.
The car left, Mengxue and I waved at the car, the car drove away, I couldn't hold back anymore, and grabbed Mengxue's hand.
"What are you doing!" Meng Xue looked at me with disgust.
"Free at last!" I sighed.
"If you spend so much money on that store, will it be too stressful? Meng Xue said worriedly.
"As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything!" I said proudly.
I can finally be with Mengxue openly, I can finally let go of things, the clouds in my heart are dissipating little by little, I swear, I must make a little appearance!
The decoration of the store lasted for a long time, because we were not in a hurry, I and Mengxue stared at the scene for more than a month, and then we went back to the village, the third grandfather has begun to prepare for the cultivation of shrimp in the village, because of the season, it can not be done for the time being, the most troublesome thing about shrimp is that there is seasonality, and it cannot be operated all year round.
The third grandfather selected a few experimental paddy fields in the village, and planned to start breeding next year, which all need to explore experience, I don't understand at all, mainly because the third grandfather took a few people with breeding experience in the village.
The following days I lived exceptionally peacefully, that winter Mengxue and I have been living in the village, we are together every day, the shrimp shop has been renovated, Qin Qiang has also returned to the village, everyone is holding their breath, waiting for the next year.
It snowed at the end of the year, and Mengxue and I had snowball fights with our peers in the village, set off firecrackers, and celebrated the New Year!
It was the busiest year I can remember, and in the past, it was just me and my dad, but in the village it was completely different, it was very lively.
I also received some phone calls, glasses, Zhao Feng, Sister Li, Lao Bai, Da Fei, these old friends have not forgotten me......
In the first month, I went to the river with Mengxue, the river was still bare, I found a vacant land, and then burned paper for my parents, Mengxue accompanied me, I cried when I burned the paper, I didn't cry for a long time, I cried happily, Mengxue also cried, she held my hand, this time crying is different from before, I don't have a sense of loneliness, because I have Mengxue.
Spring is on, the weather is getting hotter a little bit, and our nervous days are coming soon!
First of all, the third grandfather, they have already got shrimp seedlings, and then they began to experiment with breeding in the experimental field, I and Mengxue and Qin Qiang are ready to go back to the city, in the winter, I picked a group of waiters in the village, and I also found a group of kitchen staff, these are the first batch of my shrimp shop.
In mid-April, I went back to the city with my men!
We first cleaned the shop carefully and thoroughly, and then I started to train the waiters and the kitchen people, who came straight out of the village, they must have been trained, and the staff dormitories were also set up in advance.
Everything is ready for the arrival of shrimp season!
In May, the first three grandfathers sent me the first batch of shrimp, all of which were artificially farmed, I was excited when I saw this batch of shrimp, the artificial shrimp are better than the wild, only the size is full, the size is almost the same, of course, the first batch is screened, but the color and appearance are indeed better than the wild ones.
"Third Grandpa, you've done it!" I said excitedly.
"What's so hard about this! It's easy to play with. The third grandfather waved his hand modestly.
Of course, I know the hardships involved, the third grandfather is not easier than us, their pressure is greater, if the artificial breeding is not successful, my shrimp shop will not be able to open at all!
"You don't have to worry about the shrimp, just open a good shop!" said the third grandfather.
The third grandfather gave me the strongest support, and I have no reason not to do a good job in the shrimp shop!
The day before the opening, I specially invited the meritorious men of the village, the third grandfather and the villagers engaged in farming, and some villager representatives, this shrimp shop is not only my personal own, the whole village has contributed, I just want the villagers to enjoy it, let them know that they are not in vain.
The villagers became the first batch of customers to try the dishes in my new store, the store is bigger, of course, the dishes have also increased, spicy crayfish is naturally the main focus, and I have also launched some other hot dishes, cold dishes, staple foods, with the sale.
Last year, the shrimp shop opened quietly, this time I was ready to make a big splash, I found a gong and drum team, and then printed a leaflet, the door is a colorful flag fluttering, at that time the promotion means are still relatively traditional, Xinxiang is a small city, the opening day I put out the battle is very lively!
Gongs and drums are noisy, colorful flags are fluttering, a small colored flag painted with crayfish is lined up from the door of our store to the street, the parking lot in front of the shrimp shop is crowded with people who watch the excitement, there is a lifelike bright red crayfish on the signboard of the store, and the four bronzing characters of "Xinxiang Shrimp King" on the signboard are flashing with golden light......
