Chapter 35 Preparations for the opening

The two talked and laughed all the way to the door of the restaurant, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw He Xingpeng cleaning the store. The two got out of the carriage and beckoned: "He Bo is busy?" As soon as He Xingpeng heard someone call him, he turned around and responded: "Well, it's not too busy." That's what I'm thinking, if you want to reopen, clean it up and make it look neat and tidy. It's also comfortable to look at. ”

"Hebo has worked hard for you. Let's go in and talk. Kong Haoyu greeted, after entering the restaurant, Kong Haoyu beckoned everyone to sit down, and then said, "First of all, I have to thank Uncle He, you have really helped a lot in the past few days, this small restaurant has been cleaned so clean and tidy by you, which has saved us a lot of time." The second is to explain some things, first, after the restaurant opens, I will first take over the position of head chef, and you will be my assistant for a period of time, and when you are familiar with the way of cooking, you will still be the head chef at that time. Second, I want to talk about this important account room, this matter will be left to Xiaoxue to do, the account book is so detailed, you should be more handy than us in bookkeeping, of course, if He Bo has time to learn Xiaoxue's bookkeeping method, so that you will be fully responsible for the restaurant in the future, after all, Xiaoxue is also busy, presumably it will be busier in the future, but Xiaoxue will work hard during this time. The third is the matter of employees, our restaurant itself is not big, so let's hire the original shopkeeper, after all, they are familiar with each other, so it is easier to manage. The fourth is about the sharing aspect.,Let's get this restaurant together.,That's what I'm going to do.,Except for the monthly salary for the shop's little two.,The rest is divided equally between the three of us.,I know Xiaoxue uses money in the early stage.,So I'll give Xiaoxue that share it.,Anyway, I don't need money.,I'm happier than taking money if I can cook steadily.。 He Bo's share is still to be given, after all, He Bo still has a large family to support. It's not easy, either. What do you think of these four points? If there are any objections, we will discuss them again. ”

After finishing speaking, He Xingpeng and Nangong Xue nodded one after another, and responded: "There is no objection, we all agree with what you said." Just do as you say. After getting the approval of the two, Kong Haoyu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's prepare today, and how about we open tomorrow?" A little earlier also saves a lot of long nights. "Okay. Then it will open tomorrow. The two responded in unison. After saying that, Nangong Xue and Kong Haoyu began to be busy preparing for the opening of various battles, while He Xingpeng went to find the shopkeeper he had hired before. The three men and soldiers began to work in two ways. It wasn't until the sun went down that they went home.

……

The next day, before dawn, Kong Haoyu came to the door of the restaurant in a carriage, only to see him jump out of the carriage, and unload the goods from the carriage with the coachman, because it was still a little dark, the neighbors in the neighborhood had not yet gotten up, so Kong Haoyu's movements were relatively light, when the goods were unloaded, he asked the coachman to help carry them to the back kitchen, Kong Haoyu then placed the goods neatly, and when he was busy tidying up, He Xingpeng came to the door of the restaurant with the silk flowers that were ready to be used to cut the ribbon. He saw the carriage parked at the door, so he looked carefully and found that it was the carriage of the Confucian Mansion, so he looked into the restaurant, and when he saw that there was a bright light in the back kitchen, he put the silk flower in his hand on the table and walked towards the back kitchen.

After coming to the back kitchen, He Xingpeng looked around the back kitchen, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking: If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that this neat and neat back kitchen was actually made by the eldest son, it was really unexpected, I remember that when I was a child, the eldest young master was to taste all kinds of food, and make some snacks, never tidy up the house, even his schoolbag for his study had to be sorted out by the attendants, and now he has become a teenager to do these tidying up work so neatly, it is really impressive. If this makes the old man, the old man and the lady see it, they will definitely be surprised. The eldest young master has really grown up.

He Xingpeng stood at the door of the kitchen in a daze for a while, and then Kong Haoyu turned around and saw him, so he smiled and said, "Uncle He, you are here." You see I'm so busy and haven't noticed, I'm really sorry, you sit down and drink water and rest, and I'll clean it up right away. As he spoke, Kong Haoyu poured a glass of water for He Xingpeng and handed it to He Xingpeng, He Xingpeng was a little flattered when he saw this, and he was a little at a loss, he hurriedly took the water cup and replied: "The eldest prince, you are going to torture He, but you can't help it, how dare you work for such a trivial matter as pouring water, cleaning up the kitchen should be He's business, but now let the eldest young master do it himself, which makes He how good, if you let the old man and Mrs. know, it will be impossible to explain." Otherwise, I'll clean it up. After speaking, He Xingpeng put the water cup on the table, and turned around to help clean it up.

"Uncle, you see you're being too polite." Kong Haoyu pressed He Xingpeng on the stool and asked him to sit down, and said, "Uncle He, if you still treat me as the eldest young master, you can sit here and drink water and rest for a while, and leave the kitchen affairs to me after cleaning up, after all, this will be my second world for a long time to come, and I really can't show my cooking skills if I don't make me feel comfortable here, I hope you don't mind, I also have my personal cooking habits." After speaking, Kong Haoyu smiled apologetically. He Xingpeng didn't say anything more after listening to Kong Haoyu's explanation, only nodded and sat quietly watching Kong Haoyu busy.

After about half a cup of tea, Nangong Xue led four people in and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm late because of some things." Can I help you? Hearing Nangong Xue's voice, Kong Haoyu hurriedly replied: "No, no, I'm almost done here." Just sit back and rest for a while. Nangong Xue nodded and replied, "Okay then." After speaking, he also sat aside and watched Kong Haoyu clean up the stove. At this time, He Xingpeng noticed the people brought by Nangong Xue, these people didn't look like workers, let alone foot power, and couldn't help but be a little curious. After a while, Kong Haoyu finally finished cleaning up, he looked around the back kitchen, and felt that there was nothing to clean up, so he nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone: "Finally, this back kitchen has also let me clean up, and this back kitchen will be my world for a long time to come." I'm finally able to put my cooking skills to good use. After speaking, Nangong Xue and He Xingpeng congratulated in unison: "Then we will congratulate you first, Chef Kong." In the future, it will be up to you to carry forward the restaurant. When Kong Haoyu heard this, he patted his chest very confidently and answered unceremoniously: "Be polite." Let's work together. ”

After speaking, Kong Haoyu smiled confidently, and then noticed a few new faces behind Nangong Xue, and asked curiously: "Nangong Xue, who are these people behind you?" If you don't mind, can you introduce us? After Kong Haoyu said this, Nangong Xue suddenly let go and pushed the four people behind him to introduce him: "By the way, let me introduce these people behind me." This is Zhao Guangxiang is a vegetable merchant, this is Liu Zichao is a fruit merchant, this is Li Yuxiang is a poultry merchant, this is Feng Ziye is a meat merchant, these are all businessmen who are small traders in Xicheng, and they are all poor and have a very poor life, so I want a few to be the regular suppliers of our restaurant, on the one hand, so that we have a stable purchase channel, and on the other hand, it is also to help a few of them. Of course, if we can't buy what we need from them, we will buy it from another store. I don't know what you guys think? ”

After listening to Nangong Xue's explanation, Kong Haoyu and He Xingpeng looked up and down at these vendors, looked at them in plain patch clothes, and then carefully thought about Nangong Xue's words, and after a while, the two responded in unison: "Cheng, you can arrange it, we have no opinion." After speaking, Kong Haoyu added: "Anyway, opening this restaurant is doing charity." If we can help, we will help more. The stable supply will save the trouble of purchasing everywhere. Xiaoxue, your arrangement is exactly what I want. After receiving the recognition, Nangong Xue showed a happy smile on her face, and then asked a few vendors: "Then I will ask a few uncles to take care of it from now on." Several vendors replied again and again: "Miss, you are so polite, we will definitely repay you for your kindness." Of course, thanks to the help of several owners, we will definitely provide you with the freshest food. After speaking, Kong Haoyu said: "Then don't say much, today is the opening of the house, we have bought all the ingredients of several people, Steward Feng will trouble you to go and settle the account with them first, and the money will come out of my account." Xiaoxue doesn't have to keep an account of this cost today, as it is sponsored by me. When Nangong Xue heard this, she replied: "Since that's the case, then I won't refute your face." Thank you for your generosity. After explaining, Steward Feng of the Confucian Mansion led a few vendors down to settle the bill.

At this moment, Nangong Xue is left in the back kitchen, Kong Haoyu and He Xingpeng are the same people, Nangong Xue will set up the account book one by one with Kong Haoyu, He Xingpeng up, Kong Haoyu and He Xingpeng are also listening carefully, after the explanation, the two nodded in unison and said: "Okay, just keep accounts according to this account book, so it is clear and clear." After speaking, Nangong Xue replied: "For today's opening, I have specially prepared for it, you can go out with me to have a look." As soon as Nangong Xue's voice fell, the two of them were a little curious, so they followed Nangong Xue out of the restaurant, at this time the morning sun had just risen, and the birds on the trees were chirping, and as soon as they walked out of the restaurant, they saw a group of people coming not far away, and when they walked in, Kong Haoyu and He Xingpeng were a little shocked and didn't know what to say, Kong Haoyu asked in surprise: "Xiaoxue, what is this ......?" Nangong Xue smiled: "This is the gong and drum team I specially prepared for the opening, surprise, right?" You have a big young master who has taken over the food supplier, so my big lady can't be too stingy, and I will take care of all the matters that will open today. In the future, I hope that our small restaurant can become a household name, and it will be perfect. Now that the kitchen and accounts have been arranged, it is only time to open and close. Are you ready? As soon as the words fell, Kong Haoyu suddenly became excited, nodded and said: "Xiaoxue, you are so particular, I don't know what to say if you are like this, I'm ready." ”

After speaking, the gong and drum team was ready, and then a few juniors were decorated in front of the restaurant, and at the same time, a few flower baskets were also placed in front of the restaurant. Nangong Xue took the colored ball in her hand and looked around, and after seeing that there were more pedestrians on the street one after another, she signaled that the gong and drum team could beat the gong, and in the sound of gongs and drums, He Xingpeng also lit the firecrackers, and at the same time as the firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out in unison, Nangong Xue and Kong Haoyu also cut the ribbon, and the small restaurant was officially opened.
