Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Opening of the Lin Bing Pavilion (I)
On the second day, Li Liangwei sent over the paperwork for opening the shop. When he handed the document to Su Wanyu, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you know Mrs. Tongzhi at home?" β
"Why did Brother Li ask that?" Su Wanyu said.
"Early this morning, I found an excuse and said that I wanted to report to Master Gao. Taking advantage of the time to make a statement, I found an opportunity to ask Mr. Gao to sign the paperwork for opening your shop when it was free. As soon as Mrs. Gao heard that it was the Su family's document, she asked Lord Gao to sign it immediately. Lord Gao doesn't smile on weekdays, but he is most afraid of his wife, so he immediately signed it out. β
"I see, my mother does know Mrs. Gao, I don't know if it's because of this." Su Wanyu said.
The paperwork is already in hand, but it will take several days for the counter to be done. In the few days of waiting for carpentry work, Su Wanyu was not idle.
In the past few days, she has compiled a list of the types of cold food served in the store. Cold food is divided into two main categories. One is fruit juice syrup, including grape sorrel, bayberry sorrel, and papaya sorbet, and the fruits used in these sorrels are the most common in the summer of the Great Qi Dynasty.
The other type is Su Wanyu's unique ice cheese. She also divided the ice cream into grape, bayberry, and papaya. Su Wanyu wrote down the types of these cold foods and the corresponding prices on vermilion paper, and made a menu according to the memories of her previous life.
Su Wanyu also gave the cold food shop a good name, saying: "Lin Bingge". Taken from: "Winter rain and rain, the moon is as bright as ice." She went to Nantang Street to find someone, made a plaque out of thin gold, and hung it out.
When it was agreed that the wood master would deliver the goods, the wood master sent the tables, chairs, counters and ice checks as promised.
The wood master is really ingenious, exceeding Su Wanyu's expectations, and the tables and chairs made are not only smooth on the surface and exquisite in details, but also have a simple and comfortable atmosphere. Su Wanyu sighed in her heart for a while at the level of craftsmanship of the ancient craftsmen, and decisively paid the balance.
Subsequently, Su Wanyu and the others spent a whole day sorting out the store.
Aunt Li and Li Liangwei next door also came over to help. Su Wanyu and Wu's mother tidy up the counter. Li Liangwei was responsible for heavy work such as setting the table, and Aunt Li helped Chun Tao wipe the table and chairs that Li Liangwei had set up.
This time, Li Liangwei made a lot of efforts and helped a lot. After a day's work, the square towel that wipes sweat can squeeze out water.
Chun Tao Liwo smiled lightly, and praised Su Wanyu for his ancient way and warm intestines, and he was skillful and capable.
This time it's really all in place, it's just a matter of opening.
So far, Su Wanyu and her sisters have left the Su family's compound for a month. Mrs. Su and Mother Wu flipped through the yellow calendar, chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and set the date of opening of the store on June 20. So, Su Wanyu flipped out the booklet that Su Quan'er left for her, wrote a post according to the list recorded above, and sent it out.
Su Wanyu's calligraphy is quite good, but she can't write traditional characters, so she asked Mrs. Su for advice. Mrs. Su's straight and naughty little monkey will also work hard.
In the blink of an eye, it was June 20th. At this time, the sky has just been white, and the rising sun is magnificent and soft. The whole city of Yizhou is quiet and elegant, like an ink painting. The air is filled with a fresh smell that is unique to the morning.
Su Wanyu had already gotten up, and she made a large ice cream, two large ice creams, and several large pots of juice. She places these on the counter. This big ice book was customized by Su Wanyu from the wood master. In addition, she also ordered thirty Xiaoice Books, which she had to use for other purposes.
Today is a special and important day for Su Wanyu and the Su family. Su Wanyu was nervous and excited in her heart, as if she was facing a very important exam that she had been preparing for a long time.
When the hour was approaching, five or six people had already arrived at the door one after another. These people are holding the post in their hands. The auspicious time has arrived, "crackling", after a burst of firecrackers, Su Wanyu opened the door of the store and welcomed the guests.
"Welcome," the corners of Su Wanyu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an amiable but not bewitching smile.
Several people listened to her call to welcome, and the uneasiness of being in a new place dissipated, and they relaxed at once. These people were all old mages who had done business, and they immediately realized that this welcome was concise and meaningful. They all thought about it, and let Xiao Er shout like this in their own store in the future.
Su Wanyu greeted with a dignified smile, where did she think that such a simple welcome from her directly led to a big change in the way the retail industry in Yizhou City welcomed.
People who came looked around, and this shop was just as different as ordinary shops. When I looked up, I saw a plaque with the words Lin Bingge written on it, pointing out the livelihood of the shop.
There are a few chairs scattered around the shop. But it's not like an ordinary restaurant, it's not a square table or bench. Instead, there is a small table for two people and a long table for four people, the largest of which is a table for six people. It's not just a table in the house. Outside, along this faΓ§ade are two small tables for two and a long table for four
This chair is not a round stool or bench, but a chair with armrests. But it is not the square chair they are familiar with, the Taishi chair and other carved wooden chairs placed in the hall. The style of this chair is much simpler, the backrest and armrests should be lower, the style is simple, and the functions are complete.
Each chair has a satin cushion placed on it. The tooth-colored twigs and water lily patterns on the cushions look very warm. The width of the back cushion is the same as the width of the backrest. If a person sits on this chair, he can rest his whole back on his back.
The jacket of this cushion is sewn from two square pieces of satin material. And the filling inside. It was the three copper plates and a big bag of rags that Su Wan bought that day.
Su Wanyu beckoned a few people to sit down. A few people sat down and leaned on the cushions, and found that the cushions were very soft and indescribably comfortable. An old man with a white beard and white hair moved his body, buried his waist in the cushion, and relaxed.
On the table is a decal bronzing paper. Su Wanyu said to these people:
"Please look at the menu."
The unusual name of the dish. This is a convenient and practical method.
Su Wanyu stood on the side and said, "It's open today, there is a discount, a cup of ice fruit syrup will be added to an ice cheese." This ice cream can not only be eaten, but also taken away. β
Someone asked, "What is ice cream?" β
"This ice cheese is a kind of cold food, and we have it in Linbing Pavilion in Yizhou City. The ice cream is sweet but not greasy, soft and smooth, sweet and refreshing. A few of them were brought back to the ladies of the family to taste, and the ladies and ladies would like it. Su Wanyu said.
Another elder said: "Little girl, don't bother my old man, this cold drink and cold food will melt in a while." How can you bring it back? β
