Chapter 416: The Current Situation of Mingxi Teahouse
The civil works and plumbing and electrical equipment installation part of the bun shop renovation and expansion project was finally completed, all the scaffolding was removed, and the new store after the height was more solemn and magnificent, and the style was completely new.
A new entrance has opened at the south end of the south store, from which guests of the private restaurant will go up to the second floor, and the stairwell is separated from the bun shop hall on the first floor by a plasterboard partition wall, with a normally closed passage door.
The office area on the second floor and the corridor of the private restaurant have been opened, and after the two offices are moved out, there will be a total of seven private rooms from six small and one large, forming a complete private restaurant business area.
After passing the acceptance, the balance of the project was settled, and the construction team evacuated with all the equipment and materials.
The decoration company has fully entered the site and launched intense follow-up construction on the third floor, but the scene and movement are not the same as those in the early stage of the renovation.
The second floor of the newly added mobile house in the backyard also gave temporary residence to some workers of the renovation team.
The steamed bun shop has resumed its normal business hours before the renovation, and the takeaway window of the shaved ice shop across the road has also returned to its main business, while the sale of steamed buns has been stopped.
At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, in the hall on the first floor of Mingxi Tea House, there was a busy and lively scene. Most of the tea tables have been occupied by customers, and the service staff and tea doctors holding copper kettles are shuttling and wandering among them, busy and unchaotic to serve customers.
Tea drinkers chat, read newspapers, play cards, play chess, and so on.
At a tea table by the window, four or five old men were clustered, and a wooden Go board was placed on the table. The two sides of the game are Li Youran and Old Man Hao.
In the middle of the game, Li Youran, who was holding white, used a subtle tesuji to eat the five key pieces in the middle of the black chess, and the thick momentum of the black chess painstaking management suddenly disappeared.
"Alas, black is not easy to play."
"White already occupies three corners, and when black's midbelly is broken again, the gap is wide." The old men on the lookers were talking.
The old man Hao, who was holding on to the black, was thinking about it, and when he heard this, he raised his head and blew his beard and glared at the person who was talking.
"Hey, I said. Is a true gentleman who is silent when watching chess? I had just come up with a two-handed counterattack, and I was about to perform it, but I was scared back by your noise, and my thinking was also confused. What's going on? ”
"Ho, Lao Hao, I still rely on us for my own stinking, you really have you."
"yes. It's embarrassing that Bai has grown such a big beard. ”
The old man who was watching naturally refused to take this responsibility, and immediately refuted it.
"Okay, Lao Hao, your chess strength is already weaker than Xiao Li, and you lost a lot in the battle on the corner just now. If the middle belly is broken again, there will be nothing to do in this game. Old Man Fang, who was sitting on the other side, commented.
"Okay, this plate is not going to stop, come on, let me see how capable I am?" Old man Hao took the opportunity to throw a sunspot in his hand onto the chessboard. Count the voter and admit defeat. Then get out of the way.
Old Man Fang was also not polite, so he went over to pick him up and opened a new chess game with Li Youran.
Recently, the business of Mingxi Tea House has become more and more prosperous, and the guests at the opening ceremony have basically become regular customers, coupled with their positive promotion. The customer base is growing.
According to the requirements of the teahouse, the logistics department of the bun shop purchased cultural and entertainment supplies such as poker, mahjong, chess, checkers, and Go, and put them into operation.
The two old men, Fang and Hao, also brought some old comrades-in-arms and old colleagues who had a good relationship to the teahouse, and there was a great tendency to form a club of retired veteran cadres.
Many regular customers get together to drink tea and laugh, play cards and chess, exchange health experience, and be accompanied by delicious food and tea, this day is really delicious. It's a lot of fun.
Among Mr. Fang's group, there are many people who love Go. Although mahjong is far more popular than Go in the current society, the game of Go, which has a strong historical background and is endlessly changing, always looks much more simple and elegant than the small square bricks that are rubbed with a rattling sound. …,
So this project became one of their main forms of entertainment.
In a party not long ago, Li Youran was invited to play a few games by chance, and suddenly became a sweet spot in the eyes of all the old men.
Li Youran has measured the chess strength of these old men, and there is a big gap compared with Old Man Qu. It's also quite easy to cope with on your own.
The game is in progress.
"Old Fang, your hand is too soft. The black pieces should be cut directly, and there are two white pieces next to it to echo, what are you afraid of? Old man Hao watched for a while, and couldn't help but start to interject.
Old Man Fang ignored him and continued to fall.
"Hey, you should stop the head of the black chess, this is called a blow to the head. How can you make it jump out? It's really worrying. It's as soft as a noodle, just like your temperament. Old man Hao shouted again.
"Watching chess without saying anything, do you understand the true gentleman?" Someone next to him threw back Old Man Hao's words just now to him as they were.
"Don't listen to him, it's hard to protect yourself and dare to give advice to others. If you want to do as he says, the white chess pieces will be scattered, and you will be mistaken. Others directly denied his tricks.
Old man Hao was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and argued with him.
As a result, no one could convince anyone, so they met for a game, and the loser bought a pot of Cui Feng and invited everyone to drink. The proposal was unanimously supported by everyone, and praise was made more meaningful by such a competition.
In the middle of the game, Old Man Fang made a careless move, and a piece of white chess was eaten, he shook his head, and had no intention of fighting again, so he admitted defeat and withdrew.
Li Youran immediately got up, said that he still had something, and said goodbye to the old men.
Old man Hao hurriedly pulled the person who was arguing with him just now to sit down, and the two began to gamble.
Li Youran first went to the backyard of the teahouse to take a look, the yard is not big, only more than 50 square meters, and it is very clean and neat. A guy was using a large kettle to catch water at the faucet next to the wall, and when it was full, he locked the tin box that covered the valve and made notes in a notebook.
A few days ago, in order to avoid the trouble of the tea house guys going to the steamed bun shop every day to make special water, the logistics department specially asked the logistics department to contact the original factory and ordered a medium-sized stainless steel water tank, which was installed on the roof of the tea house, so that it was much more convenient for self-use, and it could also be used as a backup resource.
After a round of shopping, everything was normal. So he walked up to the second floor, came to a reserved lounge, leaned back on the sofa, scooped up the tablet to listen to music and surf the Internet.
It's really not easy to deal with these old men, and last time I pulled him to play four or five games of chess in a row, which made my brain dizzy.
After resting for a while, the mobile phone rang, scooped it over and saw that it was Li Xuanzhu calling, and hurriedly answered.
On the phone, Li Xuanzhu told him that the glass greenhouse of the vegetable base in Tonghezi Village, after a winter of practice, three-dimensional planting has made great progress, and the most suitable matching method has been found, resulting in a lot of increase in the yield of various crops. Coupled with the five acres of land that were added later, there is now a bit of oversupply in the face of steamed bun shops.
Because it has been delivered according to the order of the bun shop, the inventory of the base is also increasing, but fortunately, the shelf life of special vegetables is relatively long, and it doesn't matter for a while.
When Li Youran heard this, he first said some words of encouragement, hoping that they would continue to work hard and continue to explore the technology of greenhouse planting. Then tell him that the business area of the main store of the steamed bun shop will soon be expanded, and the consumption of vegetables will naturally increase. The inventory of the vegetable base will not be a problem.
Li Xuanzhu said that if this was the case, he would be relieved. In addition, the small puddle reserved in the greenhouse has successfully hatched many tadpoles of forest frogs, and it seems that the forest frog family is going to grow this year. …,
Li Youran was very happy to hear this, and the forest frog is another delicious ingredient, which means that the production of by-products of the vegetable base is just around the corner. He once consulted the relevant information, the forest frog grows slowly in the natural environment, but the vegetable base has space for stream water to nourish, of course, it is not the same, it is estimated that it can meet the conditions for serving in a few months at most.
So he told the other party that he should take care of the forest frogs carefully, after all, these little ones have dual functions and are very rare.
Putting down the phone, Li leisurely stroked his chin and began to ponder.
Li Xuanzhu has been working very hard since he was in charge of this business, he has never been engaged in greenhouse planting before, and now he has become an expert in this area. When I went to the vegetable base a while ago, I heard him say that the irrigation ratio of underground spring water to river water and the frequency of drip irrigation have been adjusted, so that the growth rate of crops has been further accelerated.
Moreover, there is another advantage of closed planting in greenhouses, that is, due to the increase of humidity in the shed, the volatilization of drip irrigation and irrigation water is reduced, the use efficiency is greatly improved, and the water source is also saved, especially the space stream water that pretends to be underground spring water.
It seems that I don't need to worry too much about this part.
Since the production has increased, that's a good thing. However, the surplus vegetables and fruits must not be scooped out and sold, because selling raw materials is not only low profit, but also easy to cause trouble.
After the steamed bun shop expands its business area, it can consume a part, and if it is more, then simply open another branch of the steamed bun shop.
It has been a long time since the opening of the first branch of Shen'an Street in the north of the city, and the experience in all aspects is relatively mature.
Thinking of this, he scooped up his mobile phone and dialed Aunt Qi's phone again.
On the phone, he explained that the other party discussed with Uncle Qi and others, first estimated the increased consumption of raw materials in the new business area of the steamed bun shop, and then contacted Li Xuanzhu to compare the supply and demand situation to see if it was enough to open a small steamed bun shop branch.
If it is feasible, then let the logistics department send someone to find a suitable storefront, as for the location, it is best to be in the bustling business district of Xicheng.
Aunt Qi said that she estimated that it should be about the same, and she had to confirm it statistically.
After arranging this matter, Li Youran lay back on the sofa and continued to play with the tablet. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
