Lin Qian asked Qinyin: "What did you learn when you went to the provincial capital?"

I don't know if it's nostalgia for restaurant life, or worship for Chen Lai's self-employment, or impromptu thinking about Lin Qian's question, Qin Yin replied casually: "Open a restaurant." ”

Lin Qian sneered: "Oh, such a thing as opening a restaurant is everywhere, and you have to go to the provincial capital to study?"

Kotone didn't answer, and fell into deep thought. She thought, why not really open a restaurant? First, she can earn some tuition for the future, and second, she can also have a quiet place for a while, and review her homework while opening the store. That's what Kotone thinks, and that's what he does. She immediately asked Lin Qian to help find a place and wanted to open a shop.

Lin Qian said, "There is one in the corner of the commune market, which used to be a medicine shop, but then somehow it became vacant. If you want to open a restaurant, you can do it there. ”

"The location is not good", Qin Yin said, "I still have to study while selling porridge, and it is not possible to be in a place that is too lively." ”

After Qinyin's reminder, Lin Qian's mind was opened: "Oh, yes, halfway to the county seat, there is a mountain liao, you can renovate it, you can stay, and you can be quiet and review your homework." ”

The matter was settled, and Lin Qian was of course responsible for contacting the owner of the mountain liao. When he left the small mountain village, Lin Qian secretly scolded in his heart: "I still pick a remote place to do business, I am sick!"

Qin Yin was thinking that if he was as busy as Chen Lai in opening a restaurant, he would waste a lot of time. After thinking about it, I finally decided to sell something simpler. The people in the mountains are not as particular as the provincial towns, so they should simply open a sweet potato gruel shop. Qin Yin remembers that when she first went to Chen Lai's restaurant, she ordered sweet potato gruel, and Chen Lai knew that she was from the countryside.

That's right, just open a sweet potato gruel shop. Although the family has not yet broken through the food and clothing line, there is a small pile of sweet potatoes in the house, and as for the rice, Tolin bought some or got a little before making gruel. Then make the small jar of pickles at home to cook.

In the next few days, Lin Qian went through the procedures for opening a hotel in his own name. And Qinyin also discussed with Qin's grandmother and Qin's mother about opening the store, and Qin's grandmother and Qin's mother thought that Qinyin had given up the college entrance examination and concentrated on business, so they were very happy, and asked Lin Qian to help transport the leftover sweet potatoes and pickles from the family's thrift to the store.

The hotel opened without a hitch. Qin Yin also quietly transported the review materials to the hotel.

Two tables of eight immortals are placed inside and outside the hotel, which can accommodate 32 people to drink porridge at once. On the lawn outside the hotel, a stove was set up and some dry wood was placed to make a fire. Qin Yin secretly planned to cook only one pot of porridge for each meal, even if it was sold out, and then remove the time for washing dishes and cleaning up, and the rest of the time would be used to review homework.

Business was good on the first day of the restaurant's opening. Qin Yin carefully cooked a large pot of sweet potato gruel in a large aluminum pot, washed the pickles, and cut them into thin slices. Passers-by like it very much, two cents a bowl of sweet potato gruel, a dime a small plate of pickles, the price is cheap. I have eaten here and said that it is more affordable than restaurants in the county and other places.

At the end of the day, Qin Yin quietly calculated, and the turnover turned out to be as much as eighteen yuan. Thinking about the monthly income of Aunt Chen of the supply and marketing cooperatives at that time, she was overjoyed, she was very satisfied and proud of her profession, which could not only make money, but also learn.

The place where Qinyin opened the restaurant is located on the side of the road leading to the county seat, and it is basically quiet except for the two rush hours in the morning and evening, when the pedestrians and bicycle bells in front of the store are ringing. And because Qinyin only cooks a large pot of sweet potato gruel for each meal, and it lasts when it is sold out, there is not much time for each meal to really be used for business. There is a lot of time that can be used to review homework.

An old man like Grandma Jean can evoke the sympathy of Grandma Jean the most. At noon a few days before the hotel opened, Qin Yin suddenly noticed two elderly women wearing blue shirts, crutches, and a little hunched on their backs slowly walking towards the county seat on the road.

Qin Yin squinted at the scorching sun in the sky, and the appearance of her grandmother appeared in her mind, and she immediately ran forward, helped the two old women to the store to rest, and provided sweet potato gruel for free. The two old women smiled happily and kept praising Qin Yin for having a bodhisattva's heart, and there would be good rewards in the future.

While drinking porridge, the two women talked about which village and which person was filial to the old man and later received good retribution, and which village and which person did bad deeds and later received bad retribution and did not die well. Every word you say, every word I say, that's all. Koto grinned and served them a plate of pickles.

Since receiving the two elderly women for free, more and more people have come to Qinyin's shop to drink porridge, and Qinyin only cooks a large pot of porridge for each meal, which is simply not enough to sell, and it is often sold out early.

It's not meal time, and there's no one in the store. Lin came to visit Qinyin and suggested that Qinyin cook more porridge and sell it, and that she could set up an extra stove for each meal, cook one more pot, and her income would be doubled. Qinyin said, I originally opened the shop to review my homework, don't fake it. Lin Qian wondered, "Then why did you advertise?"

"Advertisement?" Qin Yin wondered, "When did I advertise?"

"It is said that one day the weather was hot, and people rushed to drink porridge. Suddenly there were two old fairies in white in your shop, and the old fairies were dressed as very pitiful, starving old men, hunchbacked, with crutches, and you saw that the other party was pitiful, so you kindly gave them alms. As a result, the old immortal gave you a secret technique, and you can live forever after drinking your porridge. After Lin Qian finished speaking, he asked Qinyin where he learned this, it is so powerful that people from all over the country are ready to come to you to drink porridge.

Qin Yin thought to herself, which kind of passer-by is this, making up some fairy legends? But she also understands that it must be the last time she provided free porridge to the two old women, earning back her reputation. Qin Yin said: "At that time, I saw two old women who were pitiful and gave them a bowl of sweet potato gruel. There were other people in the store at the time, and it was passed around, maybe it became the version you said, right?"

Lin Qian seemed to be surprised and said, "Ah? It turns out that it's not an advertisement, but a real person?"

In June, the child faces, and when he says change, he changes. While the two were talking, dark clouds were already rolling outside the store, and lightning flashed and thundered. Qinyin knew that Lin Qian came by bicycle and wanted to take Lin Qian's car, so he left the store before the wind and rain, and Lin Qian agreed.

Just as she was about to go out, two women with their two children hurried into the store, and one of them said, "Wow, it's going to rain, let's take shelter here." The two children seemed to be afraid of thunder, and when the thunder sounded, they snuggled into the woman's arms.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yin dispelled the idea of leaving the store and said to Lin Qian: "You go first, I'll wait for them to leave before leaving." Lin Qian said impatiently: "Whatever, you just said that you are going out, let them leave, and they will leave." "Don't worry about it, I have my own opinions. After Kotone finished speaking, she continued to stay in the shop. Lin Qian understood Qinyin's temper, said no more, and rode away.

Soon, the rain poured down and the wind was blowing. The woman and the child, sheltering from the rain, sat quietly at the table of the Eight Immortals in the store, and did not speak. Piano Yin took time out to study in the sound of wind and rain.

Minutes and seconds passed, and after about half an hour, the wind and rain stopped. The woman and the child were ready to leave, and before going out, the woman insisted on buying a sweet potato and giving two cents. If the sound of the piano is not received, the woman insists on giving it.

The days of opening the store passed quickly, and before I knew it, half a month passed, and Qin Yin, like Chen Lai, secretly counted the money he earned, wow! Half a month earned 250 yuan. I really didn't expect that by opening a sweet potato gruel, I would earn back all the money from the sewing machine that I couldn't think of before in half a month.

Lin Qian knew that Qinyin's shop was making money, and said with half jealousy and half envy: "I really didn't expect that you would learn to make so much money after going to the provincial capital." ”

Qin Yin said: "They all moved from the water testers in the provincial capital. ”

Lin Qian said, there is an old saying that the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual, if you yourself have no wisdom roots and lack understanding, no matter how good the master is, I am afraid it will be in vain.

Qin Yin replied, I also unintentionally inserted willows.

Lin Qian said, when you are admitted to university, I will take over this restaurant and sell more sweet potato gruel. Also, if you move the pork stall here and open a sweet potato gruel shop while selling pork, it won't make enough money.

Qin Yin was noncommittal, but he had already acquiesced to Lin Qian's thoughts in his heart.
