Chapter Seventy-Six: Different from the Usual
"If you don't dislike the mess inside, let's go in and have a look?"
"Haha, you can get in yourself." Lin Tiankuo teased her.
Li Yi saw that he was in a good mood, and couldn't help but ask him: "Isn't your sister worried about running back so angry?" ”
She swore that she saw "panic" on Lin Tiankuo's face, and this was the first time she had seen this expression on his face.
"Mrs. Chen didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?" Li Yi looked dazed.
No wonder she wasn't shy at all, she didn't know about their marriage.
Zhang Chao appeared in front of them haggardly: "They don't know Miss and Zhao Gongzi, please come in." He thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Miss, do you want to tell them that you are the ......?"
"No need, in the future, when others ask who is the boss here, you can still say Zhao Gongzi."
"Since Miss doesn't want to reveal her identity, I asked the workers who are working today to go to the tea shop next door to drink a bowl of herbal tea."
Li Yi nodded.
Zhang Chao, who arranged the workers, welcomed the group into the store.
Li Yi couldn't help but remind: "You have worked hard during this time, but you must also pay attention to rest, if your body collapses, the gains outweigh the losses." ”
I heard Xiaocui say that he sent his two younger brothers to a neighbor's house, and he stayed in the store all the time, just going home once every three or five days to change his clothes.
She is very grateful to Zhang Chao for his dedication to the store and the decoration of the store, because he is serious and responsible, and the progress is very fast.
The lobby had been remodeled, the walls had been repainted, and the windows had been installed in the places she had requested.
Zhang Chao comforted her in turn: "Miss don't worry, I'm young and in good health." You have the grace of knowing me, how can I feel sluggish. ”
Li Yi was helpless and turned her eyes to Lin Tiankuo for help.
Lin Tiankuo reminded her in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is your subordinate, if I interfere at this moment, it will be difficult for you to establish your prestige in the future." The attitude was tougher, and he didn't dare not listen. ”
Zhang Chao didn't seem to notice the interaction between the two - the usual meticulous person! It can be seen that he has not rested well during this time, so he is not as sharp as before.
He also introduced to the two: "In order to meet the construction deadline, the store renovation and kitchen renovation were carried out by two groups of people at the same time. Now the kitchen renovation has been completed, the first floor of the store has also been completed, and there are still some finishing touches left in the private room on the second floor. The lady came over today, just in time to inspect the kitchen and the lobby. ”
"How many windows have been added to the lobby?"
"Four new windows, you once disliked the original windows were too old, and I also replaced the original four windows in the lobby."
"Where's the table and chair in the lobby?"
"Originally, there were eight sets of tables and chairs. There is a set of particularly old ones that are put in the backyard to be chopped into firewood and burned, and the other two sets that are barely usable are put in the back kitchen as side cutting boards. The remaining five sets of brushes are the same paint as the three new ones, and after five days, it will be the day of delivery at the table and chair store. ”
Li Yi deliberately asked these detailed questions, and when Zhang Chao couldn't answer them, he could persuade him to go back to rest. But he answered every question in a clear manner, so that she couldn't find fault if she wanted to.
She had to give up for a moment and instead take a closer look at the recent renovation of the store, and the lobby as a whole looked much brighter than before, which was the feeling she wanted.
People in this world don't have the habit of eating lunch, so dinner time is generally in Shenshi, that is, between 3 and 5 pm. At this time, the sun is already tilted to the west, and if the lighting in the house is not good, it is easy to give people a dull and depressing feeling.
"The lobby is very well repaired, let's go to the kitchen and have a look."
Zhang Chao led the way in front, and Lin Tiankuo quietly followed two steps behind her.
"Would you like to go to the private room and take a break?" I'll probably stay in the kitchen a little longer, and the kitchen should be messy at this point. ”
Mu Yin likes the proposal of the future princess very much, the princess is really considerate, and those of us who are subordinates will not have a hard time in the future.
"I'm not tired, I won't bother you, you do your own thing, don't pay too much attention to me."
Lin Tiankuo is a little abnormal today, it seems to have become "clingy"?
How can it be? I'm thinking too much.
Mu Yin complained frantically about her master in her heart: You want to see people, wait until you marry and go back to the mansion to watch slowly, and no one cares about you for how long you want to watch. What's the matter with following others inseparably now?
However, the master is the master after all, and he can only follow him to the kitchen if he is unwilling.
This kitchen is different from anything I've seen before.
There is no "wok" for the general kitchen, but there are four stoves piled up. There is also a square brick behind the stove to the roof, and I don't know what it is used for.
There are several places in the kitchen against the wall...... Is it a shelf? And what is this for?
In addition to the shelves of unknown use, there are several cupboards that he is familiar with placed against the wall.
Miss Chen reversed her indifferent attitude in the lobby and said a lot of improvement requirements to Zhang Chao, who took a piece of carbon and recorded it on paper.
"The cupboards are placed in the yard, the kitchen is not well ventilated, and the cupboards are prone to mold; Shift the shelves to the north wall, not against the stove, after all, the chef only needs to cut the dishes; The smoke exhaust vent behind the stove must be tried to see if the smoke can be exhausted. Nail a few hooks to this wall and hang up when the kitchen utensils are used......"
Lin Tiankuo looked at her serious back, and suddenly panicked: Is such an assertive woman really willing to marry herself?
After Li Yi finished explaining to Zhang Chao, he saw Lin Tiankuo's thoughtful expression as soon as he turned around.
"Let's see how the private room is arranged, and take a break?" Although Li Yi didn't know what he was thinking, the kitchen was definitely not a place suitable for thinking ability, so give him a slightly comfortable environment.
The walls of the private room were all painted, and the tables were all newly painted. The crowd took their seats in the last room.
When they went upstairs, Xiaocui went to the back kitchen to boil water. At this moment, I poured a glass of boiled water for each of them.
Li Yi was the first to speak: "You guys are also working hard today, let's sit together." ”
Hongcui and the others were used to her arrangement, so they sat down as soon as possible, Zhang Chao saw the movements of the two maids, and sat down hesitantly. Mu Yin secretly glanced at his master, he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't give him a signal, there was no way, he could only continue to stand.
"Lin Tiankuo, do you mind if I arrange them before you?" Li Yi saw him in a daze and joked with him.
Lin Tiankuo, who came back to his senses, glanced around and immediately understood what was happening.
"Miss Chen's orders are my orders." This was said to Mu Yin.
"Haha, why are you so serious?" Li Yi was amused by his serious appearance.
"Taste the boiled water in front of you, it's the taste I miss, no, it's even better than I remember."
In his previous life, there were too many additives in the food, and in order to reduce the burden on the body, Li Yi rarely drank drinks, and the most she drank was boiled water. Since she came here, drinking tea every day, it is inevitable that she will miss plain water.
Only Lin Tiankuo was present who understood what she missed, and no one else could understand it.
He wanted to comfort Li Yi, but her sadness was fleeting, and she began to persuade Zhang Chao again.
"I just explained to you, I am not in a hurry, and the work related to the kitchen can be handed over to Chef Lu to share a little. You really need to rest. ”
Zhang Chao was still unmoved, and Li Yi had to change his approach.
