Chapter Ninety-Six: Restaurants

"I don't want to go to work in Xiangshan after the Chinese New Year, the paint is too dirty, and it hurts my body. Didn't I study cooking for a while before, Zhao Feng and her parents also learned a little, we are going to go to Dongzhen to open a restaurant, what do you think?"

Zhao Feng is Zhang Yong's fiancΓ©e, that is, Zhang Chu's future sister-in-law who has not yet met. Zhang Chu didn't know who came up with the idea, but it was indeed a good idea.

"It's a good idea to open a restaurant, but it's hard work, can you afford it?"

Zhao Feng and Zhang Chu hadn't seen it, so he didn't know what was going on over there. However, it will not be too bad to be able to settle down and follow my parents in the city for a few years.

Zhang Chu just doesn't believe Zhang Yong very much, this guy is not qualitative, and he does things in a bit of a style of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. The personality is very similar to Zhang Chu's father, how can such a person make money when he opens a restaurant?

"How can I not bear it? It's not like I haven't done it before. It's just that I'm not familiar with Dongxiao, do you have any good places to recommend?"

After listening to Zhang Chu's words, Zhang Yong immediately retorted, but Zhang Chu was noncommittal. How it can be depends on the performance of the two of them.

Zhang Chu, who can help, will definitely help, and the two are brothers. It's just that if Zhang Yong and the others are too disappointed, Zhang Chu will not be so easy to speak.

"It's not a big problem with the place, but you two have a restaurant, which piece are you going to make? fast food or dinner?"

It's a good idea to go to Dongzhen and start a restaurant. As long as you find a shop in a popular place and make the taste, it is not difficult to make money.

Although he can't make a lot of money, he is much better than Zhang Yong's previous work in the factory. This cash collection can also owe the supplier money, and it is very easy to turnover.

"We're going to make noodles, I'm going to make southern-style noodles, and Xiaofeng is also good at making Xinshi rice noodles and Chenzhou fish noodles in our city, so we'll make this first. ”

Zhang Yong saw that Zhang Chu was willing to help, and his originally somewhat restrained demeanor suddenly lived a lot. To be honest, his sense of pressure in front of Zhang Chu is getting higher and higher now, and he has no power at all.

"How much are you going to invest?"

After hearing this, Zhang Chu asked, he didn't know if Zhang Yong was looking for him for the sake of the shop or to borrow money. But he really has some ideas about catering.

"Xiaofeng, she has saved tens of thousands of yuan, and I will ask my mother for more money, it should be almost enough. We started with a small shop, made money, and then slowly expanded. ”

Didn't you even ask yourself to borrow money? Zhang Chu glanced at Zhang Yong a little dumbfounded. This is definitely not Zhang Yong's plan, it should be the idea of his sister-in-law who has not met.

Although Zhang Chu's mother's money is actually Zhang Chu's filial piety's money, after Zhang Yong borrowed money from Zhang Chu's mother, he has to pay it back in the future, otherwise he won't want to straighten his waist.

Her future sister-in-law seems to be a capable person and a woman with a lot of ideas. is going to get engaged on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and Zhang Chu will be able to meet people by then. Zhao Feng had come to Zhang's house before, but Zhang Chu was not there.

"The place is fine, but I have some ideas for this restaurant, and I'll talk about it when you get engaged." ”

The storefront is really fine, the two shops in the building that Zhang Chu bought over there will be moved away after the New Year, just enough to open a restaurant, and that place is very popular.

However, if Zhang Chu wants to intervene in it, he will definitely not open a small shop first as Zhang Yong said, it will be boring, and he will definitely make it bigger.

To open a restaurant, if you want to be big and do well in the south, you have to have your own characteristics. Of course, it must also taste good, otherwise who will eat it?

Such a store is in a good location, and it will be able to start in no time. At that time, it will not be a big problem to become a chain store, such as Double Seeds, and later Huaxi.

"Okay, I'll go down and talk to my parents, you're busy. ”

Zhang Chu said that there was no problem with the location of the store, and Zhang Yong was relieved. He was not familiar with Dongxiao, so he was afraid that he would not find a suitable place after going there.

Zhao Feng had a different idea, thinking that Zhang Chu was doing business over there, and they used to open a restaurant, maybe Zhang Chu could still take care of it, so he asked Zhang Yong to ask Zhang Chu what he meant.

The twenty-ninth year is Chinese New Year's Eve, and compared with previous years, Zhang Chu's family is particularly lively this year. The family all came back and moved into a new house, and Zhang Chu's mother didn't break her smile since Zhang Chu and them came back.

This year's New Year's dinner was also very rich, and a pig was slaughtered at home. Not a single pound of pork was sold, and all of it was left at home, which was unimaginable before.

The countryside raises so many pigs a year, all in order to kill pigs and sell them for money. A pig has to be sold for hundreds at this time, what will ordinary people be willing to do?

In addition to some of the food used in the fire-moving banquet, some of the remaining smoked bacon and some sausages were made into sausages, which were prepared for Zhang Chu and them to take to Dongzhen to eat next year.

Others were frozen in the refrigerator, and this one was used to eat for the New Year. In addition to pigs, the family also killed a few chickens, and Zhang Chu's mother also specially bought a few large grass carp.

In previous years, when their family celebrated the New Year, they basically ate silver carp and rarely ate grass carp. Because grass carp is much more expensive than silver carp, Zhang Chu's mother is reluctant.

Now not only is she willing to buy fish, but Zhang's mother also bought several catties of beef, as well as some dried squid and other seafood, which was rare during the Chinese New Year in the past.

These things are more expensive here, in addition to some of the guests, Zhang Chu's mother will also make some spiced beef for Zhang Chu and they to take to Dongzhen to eat, anyway, Zhang Chu and they drove back in the car.

As for vegetables, these are grown at home. Whether it's carrots, white radish, cabbage, garlic, spinach, chrysanthemum, etc., Zhang's mother is a good hand at farming at home.

"I wish our family a prosperous life, a healthy and long life for our parents, and a lot of money for everyone!"

The reunion dinner was eaten together as a family, and after the dishes were ready, Zhang Chu raised his wine glass and blessed his parents and Zhang Yong and Zhang Yan together.

The sake is home-brewed roasted grain wine here, and there are a lot of medicinal herbs in it. Zhang Chu's house is a little damp and cold, and drinking this wine in winter strengthens the body and goes to the cold.

"You are all good this year, I hope you can earn more money next year and find your happy partner as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Chu's mother watched the family sit together with a reunion dinner with a smile, and then looked at the environment of her new house, and said with some emotion.

The family has been lifted out of poverty at an unexpected speed, and her son has a career outside, these things have always been like a dream in Zhang Chu's mother's mind, which she can't help but sigh.

Even Zhang's father, who had always placed the family genealogy, sighed a little at this time, and then took a sip of liquor. In the past, it would be good to have a liquor for him to drink at home, so he thought about soaking some medicinal herbs in it.

After the family finished dinner, the Spring Festival Gala had already begun at this time, and Zhang Chu packed up his divergent thoughts and followed the family to watch TV.

This year's Spring Festival Gala has no memory of his previous life, and he has no impression of whether he has seen it or not, so it is interesting to look at it again.

However, Zhang Yong on the side was not interested, and he changed the channel from time to time to watch whether there were TV series. It's just that he is destined to be disappointed this night, and all TV stations have one program, that is, the Spring Festival Gala.

Sitting until twelve o'clock in the evening, the family did not go to sleep, waiting for the arrival of the New Year. This is called keeping the New Year, and when I was young, adults had to give children money to keep the New Year.

Now it is Zhang Chu and the others who give their parents money, and the three brothers and sisters give some each, which makes the smiles on the faces of Zhang Chu's parents even bigger, and then sit in the hall watching TV and chatting.

After 12 o'clock, the sound of firecrackers began to be heard everywhere around, which was the people of their nearby villages welcoming the God of Wealth in the New Year, which meant that the new year had begun, and 2003 had arrived.
