Chapter 16 Preparing for the opening
Sun Xiaoying flew around the store like a child, and her happy laughter could be heard everywhere in the air.
Li leisurely looked at the excited girl and was full of emotion in his heart. Finally has a shop, Xiaoying's sister no longer has to stand on the street selling steamed buns on a cold day, and her hands and face are red from the cold. Alas, this time is really difficult for her, and it is not easy for a girl from a poor family.
Li Youran took out a floor plan from the counter, spread it out, and began to plan the store. In the hall on the first floor, there are six rectangular tables for four people, three on one side, and a passage in the middle. The kitchen stove, countertop and shelves need to be replaced, well, according to the requirements of regular restaurants, it is also necessary to be equipped with an ozone disinfection cabinet, food fresh-keeping cabinet and fire extinguisher. There are three rooms on the second floor, the big one is a storeroom, and the other two small ones are bedrooms Chapter 16 is ready to open, and he and Xiaoying's sister are one room. Two simple rooms can be added to the backyard for temporary accommodation for future employees.
In order to save money, the decoration of the original store can be generally not moved, just shovel off the wall skin that began to peel off, repaint, brush some wooden furniture in the business area with varnish, remove surface stains from floor tiles and wall tiles, and scrape off the original grout and fill in the new one. The two bathrooms on the first and second floors are too old and need to be renovated. Li Youran hates the kind of restaurant with a bright appearance but a messy bathroom. Also, in order to increase production, a batch of large bamboo cage drawers needs to be customized, and the dishes also need to be bought with new ones. In addition, two large water tanks will be placed in the kitchen production area, and in order to improve the quality of steamed buns, the water from the space stream will be used for cooking rice with noodles in the future. Obediently, it adds up to a lot of expenses.
"Xiaoying, come here, let's go upstairs." Li Youran put down the floor plan and shouted.
Sun Xiaoying ran over in response and went up to the second floor with Li Youran.
"These two rooms are bedrooms, you can choose one." Li Youran raised his arm and pointed to the two small rooms and said.
"Hmm." Sun Xiaoying happily ran to one of the rooms, looked around, and then ran to the other room Chapter 16 was ready to open, and after going back and forth two or three times, she finally decided to rely on the one inside.
"Here, the walls are covered with pink wallpaper and a few paintings of sunflowers and chrysanthemums. Well, there were multicolored crystal lamps on top, blue curtains, a white wooden bed and dresser, two big fluffy bears, and a wooden floor on the floor, so I could walk barefoot. Sun Xiaoying's eyes lit up and she excitedly planned her room.
Li looked at the girl with a leisurely smile. Sun Xiaoying was embarrassed and stuck out her little tongue.
"People just think about it. I know that now I have to prepare for the opening of the store, and I don't have the spare money to do this. ”
"It's a rental shop, it's just a temporary shelter. In the future, when our business grows, we want to buy our own big house, and when the time comes, we will choose the best room for you, and you can decorate it as much as you want. Li Youran said in a firm tone.
"Brother Youran, can we also buy a house in this city? I've heard that it's so expensive, I've never dared to think about it. Sun Xiaoying looked at Li Youran, her eyes full of expectation.
"Yes, there will be." Li Youran nodded, his face calm.
*************************
After reading the store, Li Youran took Sun Xiaoying back to the old house in the basement of Anhua Road, and after lunch, Li Youran asked Sun Xiaoying
Go find Aunt Qi. Aunt Qi was also very happy when she heard about the store. The three of them discuss their recent work together.
Due to the preparation for the opening of a new store, the steamed bun stall can only be temporarily closed. Li Youran is in charge of store opening procedures, signboard customization, basement check-out settlement and other matters. The customization of the new cage drawer and the procurement of tableware were jointly handled by Aunt Qi and Sun Xiaoying. The renovation work of the store needs to find someone, and Aunt Qi asked her husband to contact a few renovation workers. As for moving, in order to save money, I made a few more trips by myself, but fortunately, the two of them didn't have much to do.
And in order to save time, the cleaning work of the store and the renovation work of the decoration workers are carried out simultaneously, Aunt Qi's husband and son have taken the time to come over to help, Li Youran also plans to catch the fat man's strong man, the fat man's work unit is not too far from the new store, anyway, he is idle after work, that guy has a lot of strength, don't be a pity.
The work is organized. In the afternoon, Li Youran first took Xiaoying and Aunt Qi to a nearby community hospital for a physical examination and received a health certificate, which is a necessary procedure for applying for a health permit. Then split up as planned.
Li Youran rode a bicycle to deliver the health certificates of the three people to the fat man, and then found a photo agency on the street to customize light box advertisements and signboards.
"Sir, what's the name of your shop?" The staff asked.
Li Youran pondered for a while, several popular and trendy names had already been passed on the road, he sold traditional food, the main concept was green and organic, and the name was still simple. In the end, Li Youran wrote the words "Youran Farm Bun Shop" on a blank piece of paper.
The staff took the paper and nodded.
"Okay, you pay the deposit first, and you can withdraw it in three days."
After coming out of the photo agency, Li Youran went to find the landlord in the basement again, and after settling the rent of the two rooms, the two parties agreed to move within five days.
"I'm finally getting out of here." Li leisurely looked at the B-105 room where he had lived for a year and a half, and a feeling of reluctance surged in his heart.
In the next few days, all three of them devoted all their energy to the preparation of the bun shop.
During this period, Aunt Qi's husband and son also came to the store to help, Uncle Qi is a middle-aged man in his forties, medium build, probably because he is often at the construction site, his face is dark, the corners of his eyes have crow's feet, he speaks very little, and he always has a simple smile. He was very grateful to Li Youran, and it happened that the construction site had been stopped recently, so he took the initiative to come over to help.
Son Qi Song, fifteen years old this year, is in his first year of high school, is a small boy, a little introverted and shy. But he is very sensible, and often helps Aunt Qi to watch the stall and do chores, and this time is no exception, and she comes to the store to work as soon as she gets out of school.
There are many people who work hard, and with a few decorators hired by Uncle Qi, the progress of the store's project is progressing rapidly.
On this day, Li Youran and Sun Xiaoying were cleaning up in the store when they suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door.
"Ranzi! Ranzi! "The sound is familiar.
Sun Xiaoying frowned and said dissatisfiedly:
"It must be the stinky fat man."
"Shhhh Li Youran hurriedly stopped.
Sun Xiaoying responded with a grimace.
Li leisurely opened the door of the glass shop and walked out. Immediately, I saw Luo Fatzi, who was dressed as fat as a bear, standing outside, and there was a tall girl wearing a red down jacket beside her, the girl had short ear-length hair, showing a smooth and white goose egg face, her eyes were not big, but she was very bright, and her nose was slightly upturned, giving people a playful feeling, which looked very cute, she was the fat man's girlfriend Gu Weiwei.
"Come in, come in, this is it." Li greeted leisurely.
The fat man and Gu Weiwei walked into the store and looked around curiously.
"Yes, yes, it's really like that, but you're also a big boss." The fat man is quite satisfied with the store.
"It's not going to be talked about yet, but it's going to be soon." Li Youran said without modesty.
"Okay, Boss Li, let's have ten buns for me to taste and taste, and see if your skills have improved." The fat man said impatiently.
Li Youran shook his head, picked up a large apron and handed it to the fat man.
"Take off your coat and help me clean up on the second floor. I've been busy with things in the store these days, and I don't have time to make steamed buns. Let's make do with some noodles and eat them later. ”
"You stinky boy, treat me like a donkey, run the formalities for you, and help you work. I was reluctant to even take out a bun, which was even more ruthless than Zhou's skin. When the fat man heard that there were no buns to eat, he was very dissatisfied.
Gu Weiwei saw the fat man dancing there, spitting stars flying, laughing, and reached out to punch him in the arm.
"Look at your stupid appearance, like a hungry ghost reincarnated, making people laugh. Quickly change your clothes and help Ranzi with her work. ”
The fat man had to slowly change into an apron with a look of grievance.
Gu Weiwei ignored him, turned her eyes, and saw Sun Xiaoying wearing a yellow apron by the window, her eyes suddenly widened, and joy jumped out.
Li Youran hurriedly introduced:
"This is my sister Sun Xiaoying, this is Sister Weiwei."
"Sister Weiwei is good." Sun Xiaoying whispered.
Gu Weiwei walked over quickly and hugged Sun Xiaoying in her arms affectionately.
"Sister Xiaoying, you are so cute." Gu Weiwei stroked Sun Xiaoying's jet-black braids with pity, feeling like her own sister.
Sun Xiaoying also had a good impression of this big sister who met for the first time, and she obediently put her face on Gu Weiwei's chest.
"What's so cute? It's just a wild girl, digging for it. Vivi, you have to be careful. The fat man looked at the affectionate sisters, frowned and said dissatisfiedly.
Sun Xiaoying glared at the fat man without showing weakness, and then buried her head in Gu Weiwei's arms as if frightened.
Gu Weiwei stared at this guy who ruined the atmosphere with wide eyes, the fat man didn't dare to look at each other, his heart was weak for a while, and he quickly lowered his eyelids.
"You dead fat man, don't bully Sister Xiaoying. Otherwise, I'll make you look good! Gu Weiwei hugged Sun Xiaoying tightly, and her posture was like an old hen protecting her baby.
"Unreasonable, unreasonable." Luo Fatzi shook his head again and again.
"What did you say?!"
"It's nothing, Ranzi, where are the stairs, let's go upstairs." Luo Fatzi hurriedly turned his head and looked for Li Youran.
Li Youran walked over with a smile, took the fat man's arm, and led him to the second floor.
"Let's go, I told you a long time ago, but you didn't listen, so you'll suffer now."
"You have a good upstairs decoration, live on the second floor, it's much better than the previous basement." Luo Fatzi changed the topic, and his face quickly returned to normal.
It seems that the system is to train people, Li Youran deeply admires it in his heart!!
