Chapter Eighty-Five: What a shame
Qi Yunshu's voice was clear and pleasant, and when it sounded in his ears, it was like a stream in a mountain stream falling from a high place on the hollow boulder face, Ding Dong was ethereal, so good to listen to grinding his ears, Zhao Jing didn't have time to think about his body and nodded his head honestly: "Okay, listen to you!" ”
Zhao Jing's simplicity surprised Qi Yunshu, but he was more happy.
After all, this was an idea she had been planning for a long time, and now that she was approved by Zhao Jing, she was naturally happy.
"Well, you see, I want to decorate it briefly, here's the introductory pattern and description......"
Qi Yunshu used her slender fingers and well-trimmed nails to point to the schematic diagram with clear lines on the white rice paper.
Zhao Jing rarely saw such a straightforward section, but he had never seen it, but he understood it at the first glance.
I have to say that Yun Niang's painting skills are still quite high, and seeing this section is like standing in a shop.
It doesn't matter which wall, what is placed in which corner, what is hung on it, it is all on it.
"I can invite people to get these simple paintings, but I want to hang four paintings here, I don't know if I can ask you to ......" Qi Yunshu smiled flatteringly at Zhao Jing.
She didn't know the price of Zhao Jing's paintings before, and she could ask him to paint this and that as she wanted, but since she knew that he could charge a hundred taels of silver for writing an epitaph, she immediately realized that Zhao Jing's ink treasure was very valuable here!
Isn't it too much for her to ask for four of them?
Seeing that Zhao Jing didn't speak, she immediately said like cutting meat: "What if...... If four can't do it, can two do? ”
Seeing her like this, it was really too out-of-the-box, Zhao Jing was a little displeased, and said lightly: "I'll paint six pictures for you, how about it?" ”
Qi Yunshu raised her eyes, her eyes were clear, and all she was smiling, as if she had seen a whole big diamond, and her smile was bent into a crescent moon.
As if he was afraid that he would regret it, he nodded happily: "Good, good, good, great!" ”
After saying this, Qi Yunshu went back to build the decoration sketch she had made with charcoal, and there were words in her mouth.
After a long period of work, she put the perfect decoration schematic on the table, and then leaned on the bedside frame to support her head and slowly rubbed it up.
She was really dizzy.
Unconsciously, Zhao Jing leaned over, fished her whole person in his arms like a shrimp, and whispered behind her ear: "Lady is tired, sleep!" ”
Qi Yunshu wanted to symbolically resist and resist, but when he thought of the six paintings that Zhao Jing had promised, he immediately had a sense of taking people's hands short and eating people's soft mouths, and quickly put down the hand that was in front of the two of them, and put it on Zhao Jing's neck.
The distance between the two suddenly became extremely close, and the breath between them could be heard.
"Lady......" Zhao Jing suddenly called her, but did not speak.
Qi Yunshu was a little stiff when he was holding her, and she had been silently waiting for his next words, but after waiting for a long time, there was no follow-up, and she was so tired of waiting that she even fell asleep.
In the next few days, Zhao Jing was unusually busy.
In addition to taking care of Qi Yunshu, who is already able to walk in small steps, he also has to go to the front yard to stare at the decoration master who has entered the site and is responsible for painting the wall, and he also has to take the time to paint the painting that promised Yun Niang.
After the fifth day, Qi Yunshu was completely able to get out of bed, and there was no major problem in walking, but he couldn't run and jump.
And Zhao Jing's leave expired, so he had to leave Qi Yunshu behind.
Before leaving, he hugged Qi Yunshu tightly and kissed her Chun hard.
"Be obedient at home, don't run around, and discuss with the third sister if you have something! Don't be pushy! ”
"Well, I know, I don't dare to run around anymore!" I only ran once and met those hateful beggars, and if I ran again, who knows if I would be able to save my life?
Zhao Jing knew that she thought of the three beggars who had committed murder and evil, and thought of the letter he wrote, and it was time for the yamen side of the state capital to take action.
It's just better not to say it until there is no result!
With ten million worries, Zhao Jing left.
Qi Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no one cared about her anymore.
She ran to see the shop under her guidance and supervised by Zhao Jing for the first time.
Pushing open the wooden door separating the front yard from the shop, she was immediately stunned.
Where was it, or was it the cramped old shop she had before?
Inside, a snow-white lime painted wall, a one-meter-wide counter is placed at the entrance, and five tables of eight immortals are neatly arranged inside.
There are two paintings hanging on the three walls of the east, west and south.
One is the flavor of life, not as good as the food, the other is the beautiful scenery of the spring river flowers and moonlit nights, and there are flowers, mountains, water and other paintings that make people look at it in turn.
……
The shop was spotless, and the table of the Eight Immortals was wiped clean.
Each table was equipped with four long stools, and this series of things, plus the stove room in the backyard, cost her a total of eighty taels of silver.
Now, she only has twenty taels of cash left.
It's a matter of success or failure!
Qi Yunshu held the door frame hard, feeling the strength of Zhao Jing's ability while encouraging herself.
For this shop, they have paid too much, they are exhausted, no matter what, she has to make a good living.
is completely different from Qi Yunshu's chicken-blooded state is Zhao Sanniang, no matter how well the shop is decorated, she is also bottomless.
It's just because the location of their restaurant is too far away, even if it is to catch a market in the southern town, there are only a few people passing by here occasionally, where is there any popularity, let alone ordinary days, except for the residents who live on this street passing by, there is no one else at all, just like that, how to do business?
Zhao Sanniang is really worried that Yun Niang's shop will lose all her money.
But she didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't ask anything, for fear of exposing her worries to her face and letting Yun Niang know and hitting her.
Qi Yunshu is a good person, and Zhao Sanniang is not good at hiding her emotions, she can't see it on the first day, and on the second and third days, she can't see anything.
But she didn't care at all, she just worked silently in her heart, thinking that what she said was better than what she did.
She wants to speak with grades.
The restaurant began to prepare for the opening under the management of two people with completely different minds.
In addition to having a place to sit, you naturally need ingredients to open a restaurant.
This is not difficult for Qi Yunshu, she has already drawn up a number of food lists in advance, and according to the modern menu, it is very distinctive and eye-catching.
On the first day, because she was not familiar with the tastes of the guests, and the guests were not familiar enough with her, she planned to push only five signature dishes.
Considering that people here like to eat Bashu-style dishes, she prepared braised pork, boiled pork slices, sauerkraut fish, and mapo tofu, as well as a dish of chemical broth.
After all the preparations are made, we just wait for the scheduled time to open.
At first, because Qi Yunshu was not familiar with whether the restaurant was popular, he defined it as a trial operation.
On May 17, another market day in Nancheng Town, they opened the doors of the shops facing the street, lit the stoves, and put up signboards, so that people passing by outside could see the shops inside.
Qi Yunshu was actually a little nervous, she looked out anxiously, the first day of business, although she had done a lot of psychological construction for herself before, but when she really started to do it, she found that the responsibility on her shoulders was really heavy.
And she was embarrassed to find a problem, she forgot to do publicity when she was ready for everything to open.
Previously, she asked Zhao Jing to write fifty leaflets, but then she and Zhao Sanniang were busy and forgot about it.
She thought about it, Sanniang was timid, she wanted to go out and send it herself, but she was afraid that if there were guests during this period, no one would stir-fry the dishes, wouldn't it be inconsiderate, so she handed over the leaflet written by Zhao Jing to Zhao Sanniang, and asked her to go out to the crowded places on the street, and then send the list to them, which is the so-called leaflet in modern times.
Although this kind of propaganda is outdated in modern times, and the party advertising at this time is more relying on the Internet to promote in the form of electronic atlases, but in ancient times, she could only think of this for the time being.
Zhao Sanniang saw Zhao Jing's handwriting with beautiful handwriting, although she didn't know it, she couldn't help but look at it twice.
After Qi Yunshu briefly introduced to her the ways and means of distributing leaflets, he led her to follow the crowded place.
Zhao Sanniang held the leaflet tightly in her hand, she had never done such a thing in most of her life, and she had never even spoken to strangers, and now in the face of so many people, where could she muster the courage to talk to people.
She was afraid of meeting someone who knew her, so she didn't dare to show her true face at all, but walked all the way, hiding all the way, as if she was afraid of being recognized.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, I walked from the east street to the west street, but I still didn't send out a single leaflet in my hand.
She stood alone on the bustling main street, suddenly not knowing what to do.
There was a lot of people all around, there were people everywhere, she was dizzy, but her mouth couldn't open as if it was stained with dehydration, and her hands and the leaflet seemed to be glued together, inseparable!
"Come on, come on, take a walk and take a look, today Benwei Lou is the latest open, eat three dishes and send one dish, come on, take a look at it......"
The slender and loud voice floated from not far away, and Zhao Sanniang saw the familiar plaque, which was indeed Benweilou.
It's just that at this moment, it looks more magnificent, and the three big characters are glowing with golden light, which is extremely dazzling in the sun at this time.
Inside, there was a long queue of people eating.
Zhao Sanniang's eyes were hot. Why do so many customers have to crowd into this house, don't you want to go somewhere else?
She muttered to herself, thinking that they opened today, if there was not even a single customer, how embarrassing would it be?
She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, directly stopped a woman who was about to enter the Benwei Building, handed her the leaflet in her hand, and immediately fled.
"Eh, what is this, what is this, who knows how to read?"
"Suiyuan Food Shop is also open today!"
"Hahaha, this is funny, the location of this street is so remote, can there be a business?"
"It's not that there is no business, so they all went to the door of the Humanistic Building to solicit customers, look at this list, it's a pity that there is such a good hand!"
……
The diners who gathered at the door to queue up were extremely bored in line, and it happened that Zhao Sanniang gave them infinite jokes on the past promotional day, so they laughed a lot, until some guests inside ran out of food and walked out, they couldn't stop.
During this period, Zhao Sanniang hid in the nearby Dajia Alley and didn't even dare to show up.
But even so, someone found her through the woman who had been stuffed with the leaflet.
Then he pulled her out in front of all the people, and the long pointed fingers hit her forehead directly, and a sharp scolding sounded: "Yo, this Suiyuan Food Shop is really shameless, look at this business has been pulled to the door, is this going against the sky?" ”
"I didn't ...... No, no...... Nothing! Where has Zhao Sanniang seen such a scene, nervously rubbing her handkerchief, lowering her head, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
But the middle-aged woman in front of her with a sideways face is not easy to mess with, seeing her like this, my heart is even more angry, and even insulting words such as "cheap people", "scratching goods" and "cheap hooves" are scolded in my mouth.
Zhao Sanniang cried even harder, holding her head, trying to hide, but the woman didn't give her a chance to escape at all, she dragged her with both hands, and cursed words came out from time to time.
This one-sided scolding war added another joke to the new diners at the door of the original restaurant, but someone in the private room upstairs was not satisfied.
"Go, let someone inform her that her third sister is being abused in the street, and I want to see what she is going to do!"
