Chapter 147: Decoration
After going back, everyone hurriedly dug the pond, because the Yan family has a lot of things to do this year, and the crops have not been planted yet, so they can be used to dig the pond at this time, Yan Yan still digs two ponds, because there are too many crayfish, so they have to be raised in two parts, and a total of four pools are needed.
Yan Yan divided the crayfish in proportion and put them in the pond to raise, the pond prepared good soil in advance, disinfected it with lime powder, put aquatic plants and algae plants in the pond, and took protective measures around it.
The Yan family still has ten acres of paddy fields planted with rice, and the rest are ponds and a fish pond, after the spring ploughing, Yan Yan asked Yan Shaojie and Yan Qingshan to go up the mountain to cut bamboo when they are free, Xu Yan happened to be fine, and often helped.
Yan Yan plans to use a bamboo tube to make a habitat for crayfish, so that crayfish can be protected when they are shelled.
After the pond is dug, it is necessary to disinfect it with lime powder first, and then mix the fertilizer of chickens, ducks and pig manure with the soil and put it at the bottom of the pond, put it into relatively clean river water, and wait for about half a month. Because these two pools were made temporarily, the crayfish had to be put into the original two pools first.
Fortunately, the original two pools were prepared in this way, and the two newly dug pools were used to make shrimp seedling ponds; Yan Yan would put things like branches and bamboo in the pond when he was fine, because crayfish like to climb.
The shrimp seedlings will hatch in April at the earliest, so Yan Yan will be busy with the restaurant again during this time.
"Bai Hao," Yan Yan came to the restaurant for the first time after the New Year. "How's it going?"
"The tables and chairs have all been moved back, you can take a look," Bai Hao asked people to go to the craftsman today to get the things back. He told Yan Qingshan yesterday that he expected Yan Yan to come back, so he came to the restaurant early to wait.
"That's right," Yan Yan looked at the tables and chairs, very satisfied, and then instructed everyone to set them up.
Because the restaurant is three floors and the area is not very large, it is like a general shop. Therefore, the first floor is the lobby, which arranges tables like a general restaurant; The second floor is a semi-private room with partitions, and the third floor is a veritable private room.
In order to keep the light in the restaurant. The walls on the first floor are painted white, and the chairs are two-seater, much like the chairs in the park, but they are a little simpler. The tables and chairs are all brown. The seats against the wall are all four-seaters. In the middle is a six-seater.
Each table is separated by a table-height fence with flowers and plants entwined with it; Yan Yan designed it this way to prevent people from moving around casually and affecting others to eat, after all, the quality of the people here still needs to be improved.
The tables and chairs on the first floor are a little closer, and the ones on the second floor are a little better, because they are semi-boxes surrounded by screens; The screens are beautiful, and there are two pots of flowers and plants at the door of each box, which is both beautiful and can remind guests where the entrance to the box is; The tables and chairs are no different from those on the first floor.
The private room on the third floor is different. The decoration in the room is very high-end, after all, the private room is much more expensive. And the view from the third floor is the best; The table is a large round table, and the chairs are back chairs for one person, and one table can seat eight to ten people.
In April, the restaurant was basically ready, and the signboard at the door was also hung up and covered with a big red cloth. The recruitment task of Shopkeeper Li is also coming to an end, and Yan Yan is about to start preparing for the training of personnel.
Of course, Yan Shaojie always pays attention to the situation of the shrimp at home, and the poplars will come over to help if they are fine, and catch some aquatic weeds and algae to feed the shrimp; The pool is basically to change the water once a month, everyone has already dug the ditch, put the water in the pool first, and then bring the clean water into the pool, because there are many people, but it does not take much effort.
"Brother, if you have nothing to do, just catch the snails in the fish pond or something, this is good for the water, crayfish like to eat," Yan Yan saw that it was early April, and hurried to the pond to take a look, if there were shrimp seedlings, he should quickly pick them.
"We raise fish for our own consumption, and now we can catch some aquatic plants in the fish pond and come to the pond," Yan Yan originally made a fish pond for eating, but he didn't expect that he could help the shrimp pond now.
"I know," Yan Shaojie knew that Yan Yan was worried about a lot of things, and he didn't understand anything, so he could only let Yan Yan command the overall situation, but Yan Shaojie did all the heavy work at all.
"There are shrimp seedlings!" Yan Yan was squatting to look at the crayfish in the pond, and when he saw a shrimp seedling crawling out, he shouted in surprise.
"Really! It's shrimp seedlings, yes! Yan Shaojie also shouted excitedly, after all, this means that they have successfully bred shrimp seedlings.
"But it's not very much, let's wait for two days," Yan Yan knew that some shrimp seedlings were still hatching, so he couldn't alarm the crayfish, "Brother, you guys should be careful in the past two days, if there are a lot of shrimp seedlings crawling out, we will quickly pick them." ”
"Don't worry, we'll be keeping an eye on it for the past two days, don't worry about it," Yan Shaojie hoped that Yan Yan could take a good rest, she was quite tired during this time.
"I'm fine," Yan Yan said with a smile, although she was very tired, but if she didn't look at the restaurant, Yan Yan was not sure, after all, the restaurant had not yet opened, and her career was still in its infancy, so of course she couldn't relax!
Yan Yan knew that the publicity before the opening was very important, after all, there were not many rich people in Shahe Town, and ordinary people might come to eat it at the beginning, but crayfish was not an ordinary dish after all, so if ordinary people often ate it, they would definitely be reluctant, and Yan Yan wanted to make a brand, and the target group could not be concentrated in Shahe Town.
Yan Yan designed the flyers, and from now on, in addition to Shahe Town, there are factions in several surrounding towns, and there are people sending them every day at the dock. Why? Quite simply, although the wharf in Shahe Town is not a big wharf, there are many cargo ships docking.
The owners of these cargo ships were rich men, and they did not eat well on board, so of course they had to eat a good meal when they docked; Besides, these people walk around all year round, and if they think the crayfish is delicious, they will definitely eat it every time they dock, and they will advertise it for free for those who have not eaten it.
Or go back to your hometown, or talk to people about crayfish at other docks, everyone doesn't know about it, let these people at the dock advertise the restaurant for free, and the influence is leveraged!
When Bai Hao and Shopkeeper Li heard Yan Yan's idea, they both expressed their admiration, no way, Yan Yan received flyers every day in that world, and she hated flyers for this, but now she really thinks that flyers are a good thing! (To be continued......)
PS: Little Echo has worked part-time to distribute flyers, and it's really hard!
Give a thumbs up to the flyer here!
