Chapter 206: Wood to report

"There's no hurry, we have to decorate the shop first, and we have to train the cook." Gu Xiaoyou replied.

"I'll leave the job of training the cooks to me." Zhou said positively.

"Then please Sister Zhou, I'll ask Steward Zhang to recruit a few cooks tomorrow." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile, Zhou's words just relieved her anxiety.

Gu Xiaoyou was still worried about this matter, and he didn't know how to allocate his time.

She was hesitant to train cooks in the morning and inspect the market in the afternoon.

With Zhou's help, she can spend her time researching the market in the capital.

"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you well." Zhou said solemnly, his eyes flashing brightly.

She was finally able to solve Gu Xiaoyou's problems.

"How can the slave help?" Zhixia also wants to help her own lady.

"You are responsible for taking care of the paper art workshop, and when I am not there, you are the small boss of the paper art workshop." Gu Xiaoyou said.

"The slave must live up to the trust of the young lady." Zhixia said solemnly.

While talking, the carriage arrived at the mansion, and the three of them got out of the carriage, discussed the opening of the shop all the way, and returned to the mansion lively.

The next day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the air was cool and cool.

Gu Xiaoyou rubbed the goosebumps on his arm that were blown by the cold wind, and complained, "It's getting colder and colder in the morning now." ”

"Today is the autumn equinox, and there are more than 40 days to go into winter, can it not be cold." Zhou said, draping the thick cloak on Gu Xiaoyou's shoulder.

While tying Gu Xiaoyou's clothes, she said, "You must wear your cloak well when you go to the street, and don't get typhoid fever." ”

"I see." Gu Xiaoyou replied with a smile.

The two walked towards the shop while talking, and Zhou asked with concern, "When will the cook come?" ”

"Steward Zhang said that he would bring it in the afternoon, and I will ask him to look for you in the shop when the time comes." Gu Xiaoyou replied.

"Okay, then I'll wait." Zhou said a word, and separated from Gu Xiaoyou at the corner of the street.

Gu Xiaoyou walked to the store opposite the express station, took the key to open the door lock, and pushed the store door, and a thin stream of ash rushed towards him.

"Ahem, choked me." Fortunately, she has a habit of carrying a mask with her.

Gu Xiaoyou covered his mouth and nose, took out the mask from his sleeve pocket, turned around and put it on, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because a female worker had pasted a door note on the door, there was no dust on the door panel, which saved Gu Xiaoyou the trouble of washing his hands.

Taking out the drawings from his sleeve pocket, Gu Xiaoyou walked up and down the store a few times, and found that except for the kitchen in the backyard that needed to be renovated, the counter and the kitchen needed to be renovated, nothing else needed much change.

"Tables, chairs and benches had to be added, screens and decorations had to be added to the second floor, and a few lamps had to be prepared." Gu Xiaoyou muttered, jotting down all the things that needed to be added on paper.

She was scribbling on the paper when there was a noise at the door.

Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyes and saw a tough-looking middle-aged man knocking on the door and politely asked, "Is it Miss Gu?" ”

"It's me, are you ......" Gu Xiaoyou asked.

"The little one was sent by Mu Gongzi." The middle-aged man arched his hand.

"Ah, you're in the business of decorating." Gu Xiaoyou said happily, he didn't expect the people from the Mu Wuchen faction to come so quickly.

"The small ones don't know how to decorate, the small ones are woodwork, and they specialize in repairing the house." The middle-aged man replied with a little doubt.

"One meaning, one meaning." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and beckoned, "Come here, I'll show you the drawings." ”

"Yes." The middle-aged man answered, walked quickly in front of Gu Xiaoyou, and stood still three arms away from Gu Xiaoyou.

He gave a proper salute and said softly: "Please Miss Gu give the drawings a small look." ”

"You're standing too far." Gu Xiaoyou blinked, took a few steps closer, and handed the drawing in his hand to the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man took it with both hands, took a step back, and distanced himself from Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou was speechless, worthy of being a person sent by Mu Wuchen, he really obeyed etiquette and understood the rules.

She stopped approaching, put her hands behind her back and asked, "Can you read everything?" There are some places where I don't draw very clearly. ”

"Yes, young lady is modest, your drawings are the most detailed I have ever seen." The middle-aged man said with a smile, not a compliment, but the first time he had seen such a fine drawing.

In the past, repairing a house was just a measure of size and a rough sketch.

Miss Gu's drawings show the layout of the room in detail, and there are even drawings of materials and specific styles.

However, some places were not marked, and the middle-aged man asked carefully, and Gu Xiaoyou answered them one by one.

After studying the entire drawing, the middle-aged man said, "Miss Gu's request, the little one understands, and the construction can start today." ”

"Okay, how many days will it take."

"If nothing goes wrong, it will take about 15 days." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied.

"Fifteen days is fine, then let's start construction." Enough for her to investigate the market and train chefs.

"Yes, the little one will go and prepare the materials first, and bring someone over in the afternoon." The middle-aged man answered, put away the drawings, saluted Gu Xiaoyou, and left.

"It's so neat to talk and do things." Gu Xiaoyou praised it, glanced at the store a few times, and continued to write down the things to be purchased on the paper.

The morning time passed in a flash, and the middle-aged man went to work on time, took the workers to move the wood to the backyard, and began to renovate it from the backyard.

There was a sound of banging and banging in the backyard, Gu Xiaoyou looked at it a few times, and handed a dozen masks to the middle-aged man: "It's dusty, you all wear masks." ”

"Thank you, Miss Gu." The middle-aged man thanked him, put on the mask according to the steps instructed by Gu Xiaoyou, and then handed them out to the workers one by one.

The workers put on their masks, and their noses instantly felt better.

"Thank you, boss." The workers arched their hands towards Gu Xiaoyou and thanked them politely.

"You're welcome, you guys do a good job." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and left the backyard.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Steward Zhang coming over with seven or eight people.

"Miss Gu." When Steward Zhang saw Gu Xiaoyou, he immediately stopped and bowed.

Seeing this, the few people who followed behind hurriedly saluted and learned the name of Steward Zhang: "Miss Gu is good." ”

"Hello, get up." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and motioned for them to get up.

Steward Zhang straightened up, and only a few people behind him dared to get up.

"Are these the cooks you hired?" Gu Xiaoyou asked while looking behind Steward Zhang, and saw eight people standing behind him, both men and women, and glanced at them a few times, and some of them obviously had some marks on their hands that only chefs would have.

"Yes, these are cooks." Steward Zhang replied.

"Well, then come with me to the store, I'll have an interview." Gu Xiaoyou raised his hand and pointed to the Youlian paper shop opposite, and said.
