Chen Qiuniang, alias Jiang Danfeng, began a life of hard work to get rid of shackles in Liuhe Town, Meizhou, Shuzhong in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. She felt that after changing her name, she was very smooth, and it seemed that the name change really transferred for her.

After Li Taohua helped her get out of the marriage, there was also good news from Wu Lao in Yanxia Town, saying that Wu Lao had woken up and was going to come to the Yunlai Inn in Liuhe Town to see it for himself one day, but asked to see the person who painted the transformation of the Yunlai Inn.

On that day, Chen Qiuniang and Chen Wenzheng were pulling a soft ruler to measure and verify the area of the stairs of Yunlai Inn, and someone outside shouted: "May I ask Chen Wenzheng and Chen Gongzi are there?" ”

Chen Qiuniang looked out of the half-open openwork window, and saw a gray-clothed young man under the ginkgo tree outside, dressed as a small servant, standing upright under the three-pole steps, quite polite.

Pan Qing, who was planning to make a budget in the lobby, reacted very quickly, had already put down the abacus in his hand, walked out of the door of the inn with an arrow, stood on the steps, and asked, "I don't know what the little brother is looking for my son-in-law?" ”

The little guy bowed slightly, bowed his hand, and said, "I am sent by Wu Lao of Yanxia Town, and I am here to ask Chen Gongzi, can you find someone else for the renovation of this Yunlai Inn?" ”

"Huh? Is Old Wu healthy? Great, great. Pan Qing is clever and decent, first expressed his happiness at Wu Lao's recovery, and then said, "My son-in-law had something to do a few days ago. Moreover, in this radius of a hundred miles, we can't find a master as skilled as Wu Lao for a while. ”

"That's very good. I don't know if I can talk to Chen Gongzi in person? "That little guy is very polite.

"I also said that I would go to Yanxia Town again in a few days to see the situation, it seems that we don't need to go now." Chen Qiuniang looked at the situation outside the house and whispered to Chen Wenzheng.

"Well, I originally thought it was no fun, after all, Wu always had a stroke and was paralyzed. But unexpectedly, it can still turn around. Chen Wenzheng said as he washed his hands in the basin and saw that the little guy had gone.

I hope to let the little guy in early in the morning. As soon as the little guy saw Chen Wenzheng, he handed Wu Lao's name card and letter, saying that if the Yunlai Inn had not invited other carpenter masters to renovate, Wu Lao would bring someone to do it, as for the price, it was easy to say, but I just wanted to see the person who painted the transformation of the Yunlai Inn, and I don't know if it is convenient.

When Chen Wenzheng heard that Wu Lao wanted to see Chen Qiuniang, he hesitated and looked at Chen Qiuniang. She was dressed in boy's clothes at the moment, and her eyebrows were clear, so she nodded. Chen Wenzheng said to the little guy: "Of course you can, this is painted by my distant relative, he must be very happy to know that he can see Wu Lao." ”

"That's great. It's just that I don't know when Chen Gongzi and your distant relatives will be free, and Wu Lao will come to visit in person. The little guy clasped his palms together and saluted.

"This, this can't be helped, how can I say it's a visit." Chen Wenzheng was shocked, and immediately said that Wu Lao was a highly respected person, but he was a junior, how could he afford to visit.

The little guy pursed his lips and smiled, revealing two small dimples, and said, "Chen Gongzi is too polite." I don't know when it's convenient for you? ”

"Welcome, always available. We're here at all times. Chen Wenzheng said immediately.

The little guy bowed slightly and said, "That's good." In the next step, I will go back to return to Wu Lao. ”

Chen Qiuniang was sitting on the stool in the counter, calculating the measurements just measured, but her ears were also listening to the conversation between this little guy and Chen Wenzheng. She took a serious look at this little guy, with clear eyebrows, a white face, double eyelids and a pair of autumn crystal eyes, and a childish look on her face.

"Little brother, I'll send someone to send you." Chen Wenzheng is polite.

The little man waved his hand and said, "I have brought a carriage." The carriage is on the streets of Silk Water, and I have to go shopping for something. ”

"In this way, I won't bother the little brother." Chen Wenzheng sent the little guy out.

When the little guy walked away, Chen Wenzheng came in and asked Chen Qiuniang what he thought? Chen Qiuniang smiled and asked, "Are you asking about this, or the little guy just now?" ”

"Ask both." Chen Wenzheng said as he peeled a peanut and threw it in his mouth, praising Chen Qiuniang's boiled peanuts for being delicious in the world.

"I think that Wu Lao is unwell, but he will never have a stroke so severely, and he has been investigating our affairs before. The investigation is almost complete, and with the atlas we sent us last time, he must be interested. Therefore, I hesitated for so long, and finally wanted to take over this single job. The first time, this single job was a challenge, and second, they wanted to know who was going to transform the Yunlai Inn in this way. As for the price, that's a matter for a later step. Chen Qiuniang analyzed for Chen Wenzheng unhurriedly.

"So, we earned it?" Chen Wenzheng asked.

Chen Qiuniang nodded and said, "This is necessary, if such a famous craftsman comes in person, he will do this job even if he doesn't charge money; Besides, he came in person, and this is the living sign of our store. ”

"It's over." Pan Qing said fiercely on the side, his expression was full of joy.

Chen Qiuniang looked at Chen Wenzheng with a look of surprise with a smile, and said, "As for that little guy, it's definitely not a little guy." That looks, bearing, and gestures don't look like a little guy. Moreover, he said that he was talking about Wu Lao, but he didn't say about my master. ”

"yes. I don't feel like a little guy either. Even if I have a better little guy raised by the owner, I am not as particular as him. Pan Qing said immediately.

Chen Wenzheng knocked on it as soon as he folded the fan and said, "The heart is eaten by the dog." Although you call me son-in-law, how can I and the old lady be your little servants. It's not a small thing in terms of your food and clothing. ”

"Childe, I'm just playing metaphors." Pan Qing muttered.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said with a smile: "We have to step up our work." Recently, it seems to have changed luck, and good things have happened one after another. ”

"Hey, I'll settle the accounts right away." Pan Qingsheng responded, and jumped to settle the account with the abacus.

Chen Wenzheng and Chen Qiuniang continued to measure the inn, in order to draw a more accurate design map.

Of course, compared to the tortuous temptations on Wu Lao's side, Master Liu, the mason, and his younger brother were much easier to talk to. Since Chen Qiuniang and Chen Wenzheng went to the last time and signed an agreement with Master Liu, Master Liu is on standby at any time, and he also brought his younger brother, who runs a blacksmith shop, to personally come to the door to discuss this business with Chen Wenzheng, and Master Liu's younger brother also brought a pot that can reflect his skill level.

At that time, when the blacksmith Liu Er came here, Chen Qiuniang was still accompanying Zhang Ci to recuperate from his injuries at the Zhuxi Mountain Ferry, and he never saw him. Chen Wenzheng couldn't tell whether it was good or bad for a while, so he only said that he was not ready yet, and he would invite Second Master Liu to come another day.

The day after Chen Qiuniang returned, Jiang Danfeng and Chen Wenzheng, as the little brother of the young man, checked the craftsmanship of Second Master Liu at the Yunlai Inn, and signed an agreement with Second Master Liu. The content of the agreement is also the same as that of Master Liu, that is, all kinds of sample maps provided by Yunlai Inn will be marked with the name of Master Liu, but the price of Master Liu must be cheaper, and the decision on whether to choose a share mortgage can be made after the opening of the hotel.

That's a great thing, and Second Master Liu naturally agreed. Immediately, Chen Wenzheng gave the first deposit and asked Master Liu to go home and prepare to make the pots, pots, spoons, and bowls on the drawings.

As for the mason, Master Liu has already rushed to make a new type of stove, but he feels that it is not too suitable for the standard, so he started to remake it himself. It's the conscience of the industry.

Originally, after getting the mason and the blacksmith, Chen Qiuniang and Chen Wenzheng were still thinking about the carpenter, but unexpectedly, Wu Lao came to the door automatically, which simply solved a big problem for them.

"I feel really good." After Chen Wenzheng finished calculating, he whispered.

Chen Qiuniang knew that he was not referring to the drawings, but to the prospect of the Yunlai Inn. She chuckled and said, "I wish a qiē shun lì." ”

Yes, I wish a qiē shun lì. These days, she is Jiang Yunjiang Danfeng, but when she leans on the railing alone at dusk, when she dreams back at midnight, she will suddenly remember the previous days, which were so ups and downs, full of crises, and every step is full of weirdness, and you have to take every step of the way. But just by changing the name, is it really smooth to this point?

She always felt that it was smooth to this point, and something unreal. But I don't see anything wrong.

So be it, take one step at a time. Well, isn't life more meaningful and beautiful precisely because it is unpredictable? Whenever she couldn't figure it out, she comforted herself like this.

She re-measured the Yunlai Inn and designed the most cost-effective drawings that best reflected its characteristics.

Judging from the drawings, Yunlai Inn has also used the idle house next to it. This was bought by Chen Qiuniang and Chen Wenzheng after consultation with the landlord. The landlord's asking price was twice as high as the market, and Chen Qiuniang fooled the landlord into buying shares or something, and the price was half lower than the market price. Chen Qiuniang also signed an agreement with him, saying that if he lost money, the house would be returned to him, and it would be regarded as a decoration for him. The landlord saw that Chen Qiuniang and Chen Wenzheng were full of confidence, and with greed in his heart, he wanted the dividends that came every year, so he agreed to Chen Qiuniang's request. In the end, the idle house next door to the Yunlai Inn was sold to Chen Wenzheng at half the price lower than the market price.

Draw the drawings and check them a few times. Chen Qiuniang also designed the hotel's logo and unique Chinese name (including the font used). On the empty paper, Chen Qiuniang also drew a cartoon-shaped stick figure casually, and Xiaoqing couldn't put it down.

"Your female celebrity is so good, you can do it, and when the time comes, our hotel can be used as a gift to increase popularity." Chen Qiuniang mentioned yì, Xiaoqing was very happy, so she took the appearance and went back to the back house.

After Chen Qiuniang took a break, she and Panqing redesigned a new recruitment posting, recruiting waiters, cooks, helpers, dishwashers, and potential chef apprentices. Chen Qiuniang personally handwritten, imitating Wang Xizhi's handwriting. Seven or eight sheets were written in a row, and the four archways in Liuhe Town were pasted, as well as the entrance of Xiushui Street and the vegetable market.

"Danfeng, do you still want to do that flyer you said last time? I think it's quite paper-consuming. Chen Wenzheng asked her very seriously after looking forward to going out to post a recruitment notice.

"Don't be afraid. We only make 100 copies, and we will issue 10 discount cards for a limited time every day, and when the time comes, you can enjoy two discounts with the discount card. That is, only two cents are charged for ten cents of food. I have written on the recruitment list, from tomorrow, under the ginkgo tree in front of the Yunlai Inn on Silk Street, every day at noon, it will be distributed on time. In this case, there will definitely be a lot of people in line. The purpose of our propaganda has been achieved. Chen Qiuniang said.

Chen Wenzheng was silent for a moment, but still sighed and said, "Danfeng, I suddenly feel scared. We use money like this. Are those dreams really okay? Have you ever wondered what if you fail? ”

Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Chen Wenzheng, chuckled, and asked, "If you fail, continue to work hard?" Did you not eat because you were afraid of choking to death on food? Because you're afraid of failure, you don't work hard for anything? ”

"I-" Chen Wenzheng was speechless for a moment, shook his head, but smiled, and said: "You said so reasonably, I couldn't refute it, and even my floating heart stabilized." For a person like you, every move is destined to be a shining light that cannot be concealed. ”RS
