Chapter 10 Joint efforts are on the right track
The next day, Lin Mo got up as soon as he heard the rooster's crow, it was still dark at the moment, and now that the restaurant had just started, Lin Mo needed to do everything himself, and he wouldn't have to be so tired when it was up and running in the future. Lin Mo walked along the road to the restaurant in the moonlight, and saw that the lights of the restaurant were already on in the distance. Lin Mo saw that Zhao En and his wife had already started to get busy. After a few people said that the ingredients were processed, a group of mechanics who went to Qiannan had gathered here, Lin Mo greeted, and slowly more and more people came to the restaurant for breakfast.
After finishing work at 6 o'clock, Lin Mo calculated that he probably earned 1 tael of silver, Lin Mo took 2 taels of silver and asked him to buy flour and other ingredients in the future, pork must be bought at Zhao Tuhu's house, and then find it from the account when the money is spent, and then tell Zhao En and his wife that they can eat breakfast and dinner in the restaurant in the future, and bring some food to Zhao Heng when they go back, so as to reduce their burden, after all, Lin Mo knows that the two of them want Zhao Heng to study hard, reading is very expensive, the two know Lin Mo's temper, and it is not good to refuse the two of them to leave with a thousand thanks, Lin Mo also closed the door and went back to rest.
When Lin Mo entered the door, he saw his grandfather boxing, and Lin Mo followed his grandfather to fight. Then the grandfather and grandson ate the fritters and buns brought by Lin Mo. Ye Mo was going to the funeral of the lord next door, and it would take a few days to come back, Lin Mo wanted to let his grandfather rest, he could make money and not be so tired, but his grandfather was still stubborn and unwilling to rest, so Lin Mo had to tell his grandfather to be careful in everything.
Lin Mo then took a good turn on the street, although this general town is not big, it can be regarded as a sparrow, although it is small, there are basically moldy shops, but only I didn't see the Qinglou, Lin Mo has been full of yearning and curiosity about the Qinglou since he crossed over, "Isn't it legal to save women who have lost their footing?" Why didn't you find it? Lin Mo thought about it, and finally came to the conclusion that there are too few people in the town to support a Qinglou, and they are all relatively simple and have no ideas in that regard, according to the previous life, demand determines supply, and if there is no demand, opening a Qinglou here is a loss-making business.
In the evening, Lin Mo's "Food for the Sky" opened again, and this time it was much more proficient, and the three of them were busy in an orderly manner. In this way, every day at sunset, it opens for three hours, and then it is called home after work. Soon the fame of "food for the sky" spread, and many people in the town would even come over at night to try the new fritters. Every night when people come and go, Lin Mo's restaurant finally enters the formality.
Zhao En and his wife asked Lin Mo why he was not open for a day, Lin Mo expressed his concerns, one is that the restaurants and restaurants in the town are open during the day, and the competition pressure is high, and the town has basically developed its own fixed habits, and once people have a fixed place to eat, it is not easy to change it, Lin Mo can't guarantee that he can grab customers from other restaurants and restaurants, and only his own family is much less stressed in the evening and early morning; The second is that only these mechanics who go to Chenan do not have a fixed place to eat, and they can easily get a piece of the pie from these people; The third is that I don't have enough manpower, and now I only do more than four hours a day in the morning and evening, and 9 hours a day is tired enough, if you have to do it both day and night, it's too tiring, at least two shifts. Therefore, Lin Mo arranged it this way first, and then made another plan when the restaurant was up and running.
This month, Lin Mo ran a restaurant while buying books and learning to write by himself, and sometimes Sister-in-law Zhao would explain some questions to Lin Mo. As for why Sister-in-law Zhao is literate, it is because she used to work in a large family and listened to the lectures of the private school master there. The learning results of half a month are still significant, at least the commonly used characters can basically be written, after all, the evolution of Chinese characters for thousands of years has not changed much.
Lin Mo's opening of a restaurant also reached the ears of Liu Butcher, who made a special trip and sent 20 catties of pork as a congratulatory gift. Lin Mo was very embarrassed, but Liu Butcher said that he owed Lin Mo a favor, and he should pay it back, and Lin Mo knew what it meant and stopped saying anything. In the past half a month, Lin Mo roughly calculated, and he earned about 40 taels of silver after removing the cost. Lin Mo was a little excited when he looked at the money he earned, after all, this money was not a small amount.
On the last day of the month, Lin Mo called Zhao En's family together and explained a few things, one is that he may not come every day in the future, everything in the restaurant is handed over to Zhao En, Zhao En is the "store manager", the income and expenditure are managed by Zhao's sister-in-law, how to spend the money can be discussed by the two, there is no need to inform Lin Mo, as for the accounts, Zhao's sister-in-law will write down, and the salary for Zhao En's husband and wife has risen to two taels of silver per month, and the second is that the restaurant will be open in the morning and evening, recruit a few new guys, implement two shifts, and the manpower will be hired by Zhao En, and the conditions are not limited, But be honest, the recipe can't be told to new guys; The third is to renovate the restaurant, after all, now there is finally some money left, and the restaurant should be repaired, and the second floor of the restaurant should be converted into a room for Zhao En's family and the guys recruited in the future, so as not to run back and forth every day.
Lin Mo said to Zhao En: "Brother Zhao, there are 30 taels of silver here, and you will have to worry more about repairing and recruiting workers." Zhao En nodded again and again and said yes, Zhao En knew that Lin Mo had completely trusted himself before handing over the entire store to himself, and he couldn't let Lin Mo down.
Lin Mo Lin Mo did this mainly because he wanted to empty his energy, and he still had some things to do, of course, the main reason was that Lin Mo was lazy, since he had stabilized his food and clothing, he didn't want to continue to fight so hard, and it was time to enjoy life.
After explaining all this, Zhao En's family was about to leave, but Lin Mo stopped Zhao En's family again, "Xiaomo has anything else to explain?" "Xiao Heng is nine years old, it's time to go to a private school, you can't always study at home, how can you learn thoroughly and get famous." I told people that there is a former county school teacher in Chennan, opened a private school, although Xiao Heng usually has a sister-in-law to guide, but the sister-in-law herself is now busy with the restaurant, Xiao Heng still has to go to a private school, I inquired about the tuition fee of twenty taels of silver a year, I will take Zhao Heng to sign up tomorrow, the cost I out, this is what I should do as an elder. When Zhao En and his wife heard this, they hurriedly waved their hands and said no, but Lin Mo ignored them, squatted down and asked Zhao Heng: "Xiaoheng, do you want to go to a private school to study?" Lin Mo lowered his head, looked at his head, looked at his legs, and said timidly, "Can I go to a private school like this?" Lin Mo: "Touch Zhao Heng's head and say; "You can go as long as you want.
I've already inquired, and the private school will start in mid-June. Do you want to go? Zhao Heng thought about it and nodded, Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction, and asked Zhao Heng to wait at home tomorrow morning, and he would prepare a gift for Zhao Heng. Zhao En looked at his son, his hands were clenched tightly, and the corners of his eyes were moist.
When Lin Mo returned home in the evening, his grandfather had been waiting for a long time, his grandfather had liked this new pastry since he had eaten fritters last time, Lin Mo would always bring one to his grandfather to eat every time he came back, and this time was no exception.
Lin Mo watched his grandfather eat fried dough sticks with relish, and suddenly felt that his life was actually quite good now, at least there was someone at home to eat with you. In his previous life, Lin Mo lived alone every day and was already used to being lonely, but Lin Mo still longed for family affection and companionship.
Lin Mo told his grandfather about his arrangement, and he didn't have to go to the restaurant every day in the future, and of course his grandfather was also supportive, but he was a little unhappy that he couldn't eat fritters often. Lin Mo said with a smile, if you want to eat, you can do it at home, the method and recipe for making fritters have been told to grandpa, and the family is also a lot richer, you can buy whatever you want to eat, and you don't have to worry about your stomach anymore.
Now the home is much stronger than before, the furniture is all in order, and the walls and roof of the yard have been repaired. finally has the appearance of a home, which is all thanks to his busy getting up early and greedy late in the past month, thinking that Lin Mo is also a little proud.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Mo, I asked the carpenter in the village to make the things you want, I've never seen this thing, if it weren't for the picture you drew, the carpenter might not be able to make it, what's the use of this thing?" As he spoke, Grandpa took out a wooden object from the house, and below it was a wooden plank like the sole of a foot, and above it was a bowl-shaped wooden structure, supported by a wooden bracket in the middle.
This thing is the simple prosthetic leg that Lin Mo made for Zhao Heng, Lin Mo started to prepare this thing a few days ago, and he first designed it himself according to Zhao Heng's height and weight and the size of his left foot. In order to make the carpenter understand, he also drew a simple diagram with a pen on the paper, and explained the structural composition in detail to the carpenter, which was barely made. The next day, Lin Mo slept until 7 o'clock for the first time before getting up, and after getting up, he played a set of boxing techniques with his grandfather as usual, then had breakfast and went to Zhao En's house with his prosthetic leg.
When Lin Mo pushed open the door of Zhao En's house, he saw Zhao Heng sitting on the steps reading the book he gave him, and when he saw Lin Mo coming in, he quickly put down the book and greeted him, Lin Mo took out the prosthetic leg he had prepared and handed it to Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng took his hand and looked at it, looking at Lin Mo with some confusion and asked, "Uncle Lin, what is this?" It looks a little strange. "It's a prosthetic leg or a prosthetic leg to pull up the pants on your left foot." Zhao Heng pulled up his left pants according to Lin Mo's meaning, Lin Mo looked at the emptiness below his calf, and he didn't feel good in his heart, a nine-year-old child lost a leg, and he could no longer play freely like others, how cruel it was. Lin Mo then put the prosthetic leg on Zhao Heng's calf, in order to prevent the wooden prosthetic leg from grinding Zhao Heng's calf, Lin Mo specially added some cloth and kapok, and then tied it to Zhao Heng's calf with cloth strips.
After Lin Mo was fixed, Lin Mo put Zhao Heng's pants down, then helped him move slowly, and then asked Zhao Heng to follow his instructions and walk with his feet up. In this way, Zhao Heng slowly became familiar with this new foot, Lin Mo let go of his hand and asked Zhao Heng to contact him in the courtyard. Zhao Heng became more and more proficient, although his steps were faltering and his walking posture was still a little weird, but he finally got rid of the crutches and walked on his feet like a normal person.
