37. Restaurants

"I think it's okay," Li Qi nodded, "Xiaoxue, then what kind of business are you going to do?" ”

Lin Xue thought for a while, "I have found a place to open a small restaurant, and it is on the road near the official road at the entrance of the village." ”

"No one in our village has ever opened a restaurant, can you do it?" Li Qi hesitated, "Besides, we don't have enough money." ”

"Of course it works, there are big towns on the left and right sides of our Lijia Village, and there are so many people on the official road on weekdays, but there is no restaurant nearby, so I don't believe they won't be hungry after walking for so long." Lin Xue paused, "And we don't open the kind of big restaurant in the town, I've also seen the façade, you only need to buy some tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and when the time comes, you are looking for someone to build a few more stoves, and it won't cost much." ”

"What are you looking for, how I don't know." Li Qi was surprised.

"A few days ago, when I went shopping, I happened to see a store empty." Lin Xue looked at Li Qi innocently, is it necessary to be so surprised?

Li Qi swallowed what he still wanted to say, he had seen it all, and it was superfluous for him to say anything, so it was better to do what Xiaoxue said. "Who are we going to rent that storefront?"

"Captain." Lin Xue had already inquired clearly, the row of facades was built by a person named Wang Gui, and later Wang Gui died in an accident and he had no relatives, so the façade returned to the village.

"Then let's go now." Richie said.

"There's no hurry." Lin Xue smiled, took out ten taels of silver from the cabinet and put it on, "It is estimated that it will take half a day for us to go out, and the two children will have to settle down." ”

Li Qi scratched his head with his right hand, "Why did I forget the children, Xiaoxue, put them in Dazhu's house." ”

"I know." Lin Xue woke up Li Feng and Yunyun, helped them get dressed, and the family went to Dazhu's house.

"Osmanthus, sister-in-law has something to go out, child, you can help me take a look." Lin Xue stood at the door and said.

Osmanthus was washing clothes, and when she heard Lin Xue's words, she stood up and rubbed her hands on her waist, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, the child has no problem with me at all." ”

"That's okay, I'll go first, Feng'er, Yunyun, be obedient at your aunt's house." Lin Xue admonished and handed over the two children to Osmanthus.

After settling the child, Lin Xue and Li Qi went straight to the captain's house. After entering, Lin Xue went straight to the point and talked about renting a house, and the chief agreed after thinking about it, after all, it was useless to put the house there, and renting it out could make some money to increase the income of the village.

On the way, Lin Xue discussed with Li Qi, rent for a year first, if the business is good, the lease will be renewed, and the monthly rent is one or two silver, Lin Xue first paid the rent for three months, and then paid it every three months.

"Boss, let's go over and clean up the façade first, and see what else to add, and make money early if we get it done early." Lin Xue got the key and couldn't wait to show her strength.

"yes, it's a lot of money a day's rent." Li Qi said bitterly.

Lin Xue rolled her eyes helplessly, strode ahead, the façade was not close to the Li family, the two of them walked for half an hour and finally arrived at their destination out of breath, the façade is two-storey, the first floor is used to open a restaurant, and the second floor can be lived by yourself, Lin Xue considered that it was more troublesome to go back and forth, so she rented this largest storefront, which is also the most expensive.

Open the door, there is a hall in the middle, there is a door on the left and right sides leading to the other two houses, after Lin Xue checked, the house on the left is relatively large and can be used as a kitchen, and the right is slightly smaller as a warehouse, and the stairs are also on the right, and a door is opened with a wooden board in the middle, and you won't find it if you don't pay attention.

There are only two rooms on the second floor, but they are relatively large and contain only a few simple pieces of furniture. Lin Xue went back to the first floor and started cleaning with Li Qi, the house was empty all the year round, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated, Lin Xue opened all the doors and windows, and took a basin of water and sprinkled some on the ground, so that the dust would not fly around.

"Xiaoxue, these tables and chairs shouldn't be able to be used." As soon as Li Qi's hand was lifted, one leg of the table fell off and split in half.

The remaining tables and chairs, Lin Xue tried them one by one with her hands, looked at the scrapped wood on the ground, "Throw it in the kitchen and burn it, and let's find a carpenter to make a new batch later." ”

Li Qi went back and forth several times and finally cleaned the hall, the other two houses were empty so there was no need to clean them, Lin Xue washed her hands and went to the second floor, "Master, let's live here in the future, it's too troublesome to run back and forth." ”

"I'm afraid my father won't agree, and I haven't told him about opening a restaurant yet," Li Qi said, standing on the sidelines.

Lin Xue thought for a while, "In charge, you can't tell your father about this directly, otherwise they will have to fight our idea again." ”

The old man couldn't wait to give everything to Li Cheng, if he knew that they didn't know how to calculate when they opened a restaurant, and there were several other rooms where people were not fuel-efficient lamps, he had to think of a way to do this.

"Hey." Li Qi sighed, his family was calculating or calculating, "Xiaoxue, I won't let others take this restaurant away, even if my father opens his mouth, I won't agree." ”

Lin Xue looked at Li Qi in surprise, she didn't expect him to say this, and it was about the old man.

Li Qi walked over and held Lin Xue's hand, "So many things have happened, I can see it, only you and the child will think about me, and I will protect you from being bullied by others in the future." ”

"Xianggong," Lin Xue looked at this man for the first time, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart, a little sweet, and touched, it turned out that her efforts were not unrewarded.

"Xiaoxue, I'm really not used to you calling me like this, I always think it's weird there." Li Qi scratched his head and smiled innocently.

In an instant, all the feelings were gone, Lin Xue glanced at him, or the original nerd had not changed at all, "What are you laughing at, don't go to the carpenter yet, I don't want to open it." ”

Li Qi hurriedly ran downstairs to find the carpenter, how much money would be wasted for an extra day's delay. Lin Xue watched Li Qi leave, and began to think about how to tell the Li family about this.

To tell the truth, it won't work, and it won't work to hide it, so they have to move out and live, what can be done to make the Li family not make up their minds. Lin Xue was going around the house, there it was, this restaurant was not theirs, it would be over.

Lin Xue thought of a way to wait for Li Qi to come back upstairs, and by the way, she also cleaned the second floor, looking at the clean and tidy room, her mood was much better, and this would be a temporary home in the future.

When the sun was about to set, Li Qi rushed back, "Xiaoxue, I have already set the tables and chairs, a total of eight sets will be delivered the day after tomorrow." ”

"How much it spent." Lin Xue asked.

"A total of three taels of silver, I paid a deposit of one or two, and I will give the rest when it is done." Li Qi took out the remaining silver and handed it to Lin Xue.
