Chapter 42: Rent a Shop

When Li Miaomiao arrived at home, it was already after noon, and the two children were not hungry, so they followed Erya to Aunt Wang's house for dinner. Li Miaomiao ate snacks in Fumanlou, but she was not hungry, so she didn't make a fire to cook.

After taking a nap with the two children, I got up and started to think about making cold drinks.

In ancient times, people liked to make tea, and they could make some black tea and green tea. For children and women, fruit tea and milk tea should be more popular.

She slowly thought about the steps she had done in her previous life, there was some Longjing tea at home, which was sent by the shopkeeper when she was on the beam, she didn't like to drink tea, and there were no guests at home, so she didn't open it, and she just used it for experiments today.

Green tea is very simple to make, and mint lemon has a unique flavor, but it lacks ice and loses its soul, Yanyan and Xinxin love to drink it very much.

The limited fruits at home are watermelons and grapes, and without ice, Li Miaomiao is not ready to waste anything. I bought a lot of lemons, so I made some lemon paste, which I can take directly to Fumanlou tomorrow, and make a cup before dinner, which is appetizing and refreshing.

The two little guys drank a lot of tea in the afternoon, and they didn't want to eat in the evening, Li Miaomiao couldn't help but be angry and laughed, she was really too indulgent to them.

Early the next morning, because she didn't know when she would be able to go back, Li Miaomiao took her two children to Fumanlou together.

After saying hello to Gu Xingyun and arranging the two children, Li Miaomiao went to the back kitchen to teach people how to cook, there was nothing to learn from spring cakes, so the main energy was put on a few dishes.

Several chefs learned very seriously, fish-flavored shredded pork, ground three fragrant fresh, dried fried beans, after making it, the whole kitchen was filled with the fragrance of food, Li Miaomiao liked this taste very much.

Li Miaomiao took advantage of the break to take out the prepared lemon paste and make a cup for everyone in the kitchen, everyone naturally thought it was delicious and thanked her very much.

He also asked someone to give Gu Xingyun, the money shopkeeper, and his younger siblings a cup each, and took good care of the remaining lemon paste, and then started to make green tea.

Fumanlou does not sell refreshments, which is also what Li Miaomiao realized when she came today, and yesterday's fruit smoothie sold well as an after-dinner dessert.

Li Miaomiao only boiled one pot, and brought it all to Gu Xingyun to taste.

opened the door, and the scene in front of her surprised her, only to see Yanyan's little girl snuggled in Gu Xingyun's arms, telling the story of Journey to the West in a colorful voice, even Xinxin, who has never spoken, opened her mouth from time to time to make additions, and when she came in, one big, two small and three pairs of eyes looked at her quietly, she felt that she was redundant.

"Sister"

"Sister"

The two little guys greeted her, but Yanyan's little girl still didn't come out of Gu Xingyun's arms, Li Miaomiao couldn't help but be jealous, Yanyan had always pounced when she saw her, but now it's good, completely put her sister aside.

Li Miao looked at people with a sour look, only to see Gu Xingyun inexplicable. In fact, he was also very puzzled, why he was so close to Yanyan, the little girl.

Since he was a child, the environment he lived in made him always a little vigilant and alienated from people, and the proximity of the little girl made him even more overwhelmed, looking at the face similar to Li Miaomiao, he couldn't bear to refuse, and it became the current situation, the little girl was very close to him. He has never felt the affection of his brother and sister, and he doesn't hate this feeling, and even has some attachment.

"Okay, you all take a break, I made some tea for you to taste", he said, poured a cup for each of the three of them, but the two little ones were a small cup, which caused the dissatisfaction of the two, but the protest was ineffective, they had already drunk a glass of iced lemonade, and they would have stomach trouble if they drank it again.

Gu Xingyun watched Li Miaomiao fight with the two children on the side, and felt very warm.

"Yanyan is obedient, your sister is for your good", Gu Xingyun persuaded.

"I listen to Big Brother Gu", the little girl replied simply.

Li Miaomiao was angry, snorted and twisted her head to the side, Gu Xingyun looked at her like a fried kitten, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke the hair on the top of her head.

Li Miaomiao only felt that something gently touched the top of her head, and also touched her heart, and turned back to Gu Xingyun's gentle eyes, and her face turned red as soon as she brushed it.

Gu Xingyun is not much better than her, but Gu Zuo is calm, but the flush on the tips of his ears betrays him, but Li Miaomiao only cares about being shy and doesn't notice it.

"Let's eat together at noon, I'll take you to see the shop in the afternoon", Gu Xingyun deliberately found a topic.

"Okay, okay", Li Miaomiao didn't dare to look at people.

Yeon-yeon drank tea and began to tell her story again, which relieved a lot of embarrassment between the two.

The lunch was spring cakes, which were made by several chefs, and the taste was just more than that made by Li Miaomiao, Li Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being a chef, it's much better than what I made."

"I don't think so," Gu Xingyun said.

Li Miaomiao knew what he meant, stopped talking, and buried her head in hardship.

After eating, the two children took a nap in the morning, and the two of them played backgammon. Li Miaomiao throws away her armor every time she is killed, Gu Xingyun still has to pull people to continue, she likes to look at the girl's vivid expression the most, if Li Miaomiao knows his bad taste, I'm afraid she will curse.

After the hottest time of the day, Gu Xingyun took Li Miaomiao to see the shop.

It didn't take long to arrive, and there were a few shops separated from Fumanlou, and they went in, and they had their own master to visit.

The main family is a fat uncle in his forties, who looks very kind and not greasy at all. "Childe, Miss, please, under the surname Mao, just call me the shopkeeper Mao."

"That shopkeeper will take us around", Gu Xingyun said.

So, the shopkeeper led people to visit while introducing, this was also a small restaurant, although it is located in a prosperous area, but the dishes are relatively single, there is no good cook, and not far away is Fumanlou, business is naturally not good. It's been a year of hard work, and I really can't support it anymore, so I want to sell the store out.

The furnishings in the store made Li Miaomiao very satisfied, as a noodle restaurant, there was no need to make any major changes, the tables and chairs were readily available, and the kitchenware in the back kitchen was also there.

The best thing is that I also brought a backyard, two side rooms, one is used as a utility room, and the other room is also put in a small collapse, although it cannot be used to live in people, but it is no problem to rest at ordinary times.

Li Miaomiao felt very good, so she gave Gu Xingyun a look, and Gu Xingyun understood, so she came forward to talk. Since it was almost discussed yesterday, I finally rented the shop for forty-five taels a year, and all the tools in it belonged to Li Miaomiao.

The shopkeeper Mao is very efficient, the contract has already been prepared in advance, the two of them signed it, and they will come back with the seal after a while.

After handing over the keys, the matter is settled.

"I wonder if Miss has found a good shopkeeper?" Before leaving, the shopkeeper Mao asked.

"Oh, does Shopkeeper Mao have any recommended candidates?" Li Miaomiao asked, she really lacks a shopkeeper to take care of, and the identity of a woman is very constrained.

Seeing that she was interested, the shopkeeper Mao opened his mouth and introduced, "The shopkeeper in my previous store was very good, he was an old talent, and he could also do the bookkeeper."

Sounds good, Li Miaomiao said, "The shopkeeper might as well be invited now, let's take a look first." ”

"Alas, I'll go now", he was naturally happy to be able to arrange the future of the people in the store, and ran to find someone.

"Does Big Brother Gu think it's feasible?" After he left, Li Miaomiao asked.

"But, I checked with someone yesterday, and the person he said is not bad", Gu Xingyun said.

Li Miaomiao relieved her mind at this time.

After a while, the person came, and it was a man in his forties, with a national face, who looked upright. Talking to Li Miaomiao is neither humble nor arrogant, not at all to stay and flatter the master's family, Li Miaomiao is very satisfied.

The man's name is Zhu Wensheng, and Li Miaomiao directly called the shopkeeper Zhu, "Shopkeeper Zhu will come over tomorrow morning, and we will discuss the matters in the store."

"Yes, proprietor".

As soon as the matter was settled, Li Miaomiao followed Gu Xingyun back to Fuman Building.

"Brother Gu, you have helped me a lot again", Li Miaomiao said gratefully.

"For you, this is nothing", Gu Xingyun's words were a little ambiguous, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Fortunately, the money shopkeeper came in to break the embarrassment, "Boss, someone from the county came to this, and said that it was returned to Miss Miao Miao." He said and presented a box.

Li Miaomiao opened it with a confused face, and what caught her eye was a stack of silver tickets, and after counting, it was five hundred taels.

Seeing Li Miaomiao's look of disbelief, Gu Xingyun said, "You accept it, this is the money that your family used to get your second uncle, and it was originally deliberately embarrassing them." The county magistrate and I had some friendship, and the money was sent back. The surname Zhou has a bit of a look.

"But this, it's better for Brother Gu to accept it" Li Miaomiao felt that this was really a hot potato.

"It's okay, you just accept it", Gu Xingyun said firmly, and Li Miaomiao had no choice but to accept it.

On the way back, I was thinking about what to do with the money, and I wouldn't want it anyway.
