Chapter 25 Blessing and Rest
Soon the first month and a half passed, and the New Year's Festival was over. Lingxi struggled in a sweet, apprehensive and shy mood, and finally comforted himself with a big deal and broke the can and died without admitting it.
On this day, the three of them saw that the weather was fine, so they packed up their things and returned to Happy Pier to open their doors.
After a busy and down-to-earth life for too long, people's hearts are steady, and the rivers and lakes seem to be getting farther and farther away from them.
Back in town, the three of them set off the door cannons, and several neighbors around them brought New Year's gifts.
Lingxi was a little surprised, and the other party said that last year, because of their hot pot restaurant, her family had a happy year, so she came to thank her.
It turned out that, as Lingxi said at the beginning, she bought all the vegetables, vegetables and fruits grown by nearby farmers, raised livestock, and hunted game, as long as she could eat.
As a result, many old and weak women and children who had nothing to do have a livelihood have a livelihood, and unconsciously, the lives of every family have increased by several items.
The reputation of the hot pot restaurant is also getting better and better, and the town is booming, and many rich people will also come to try it. After all, it's a fresh way to eat, and everyone finds it interesting.
In fact, no matter whether they are rich or poor, people are always passionate about eating.
On this day, Lingxi had just returned to the store after strolling, but found that the customers in the store had an argument, which was the first time since the store opened. She immediately went up to ask.
It turned out to be a wealthy merchant lady in the town, and she and several little sisters who were also wealthy families heard that there was such a shop, so they must come to experience it.
Who knows, when you enter the door, it is noisy like a vegetable field, people are shuttling back and forth with small vegetable baskets, where are these eldest ladies embarrassed to enter the door again?
So I asked for a charter, but the guests who arrived first definitely didn't want to, the buffet, I didn't eat enough, why let the first person go? That's when the fuss began.
Lingxi was aware of the disparity between the rich and the poor, and the difference in rank existed in any era.
So he stepped forward and said, "I'm really sorry, when I first opened the store, I didn't think it through, and it caused so much inconvenience to everyone." It's hard to find a few young ladies today, and I can't let everyone go home. But it is indeed a loss of identity and indecent to sit at the same table with so many men here. In that case, shall I have a separate table for a few young ladies in the backyard? ”
When the eldest ladies heard about it, they found out that the owner of the store was actually a girl, so they probed to see it, and they suddenly felt a little good in their hearts.
They are usually detained by the family rules and do not go out of the door, even if they go out today, they rely on a few girlfriends to come out together to get the promise of the family.
At this moment, looking at Lingxi's chic, natural and unmarketed appearance, I was a little admired.
One of the older ladies smiled and said, "It's fine." We are not unreasonable people, and it would be nice to separate us in one place. ”
Ling Xi hurriedly shouted Xiao Xian to set up a table in the backyard of the kitchen and entertain these guests alone.
She now has new thoughts in her head, these are the little gods of wealth, and she can't afford to be lazy.
When it was time to close at night, Lingxi looked at the busy Xiaoya Xiaoxian, she touched the small red fish around her neck, and said with a smile: "I want to expand our store." What do you guys think? ”
Xiao Xian said: "Is it because of those young ladies today?" Yes, yes, but how are you going to expand? ”
"I'd like to rent the farmhouse behind the kitchen." Lingxi already has a basic blueprint in his heart.
Xiaoya said: "The rent is a good rent, but that family is not a shop, how do you plan to use it if you rent it?" ”
"We don't need a shop, we just need to clean up the furniture, redecorate and paint it, and then we open the windows wider, separate the inside with separate curtains, and make private rooms in turn, and then plant a fence and bamboo on the outside of the farmer's house, so that it will not disturb each other with the outside lobby and be clean?" Lingxi knuckles knocked on the table and said.
Xiaoya and Xiaoxian sisters and brothers listened to it, and only after following Lingxi's train of thought did they suddenly realize, and said, "Yes, yes, we can finally charge a little more expensive." Our happy dock is so popular now, there are indeed many rich people who want to come to patronize, but they can't put down their bodies to go to the lobby to eat with everyone, your idea just solves this problem. ”
The two sisters and brothers are now focused on business, but they are more energetic than they used to be in Yunling Valley!
The three of them are all doers, and after making a decision, they began to assign tasks, Xiaoya went to talk about renting a house, Xiaoxian went to find a mason to repaint, and Lingxi went to find a carpenter to rebuild a few sets of elegant-looking tables and chairs.
After a few months of busywork, the original crude, dilapidated mud-tiled house was finally renovated, and the room was divided into five small rooms of different sizes with bamboo curtains, and there were two or four tables inside, and even the largest table for ten people. Each room has its own window, and the window looks out onto the verdant bamboo and plantains.
Lingxi asked people to re-pave the original muddy aisle path with bluestone slabs, and repaired the moonlight door on the road between the kitchen and the yard, and asked someone to inscribe the word "blessing" on the door.
In this way, there is a kitchen and a moon door between the lobby and the small building, which do not interfere with each other.
In the blink of an eye, it was February when the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the small building was full every day since it opened, and even if it was scheduled, it would take its turn many days in advance.
The specifications of the inside and outside are not the same, one side is self-service, and the other side is a serious hot pot, so there is no need for guests to pick up the dishes themselves, so the guests on both sides are completely separated.
Lingxi even urgently trained a group of waiters with Haidilao service specifications, and immediately made Fuxi Xiaozhu knock on the door of the rich people in the town.
Whether it is a double, a four, or a ten, there is a fixed consumer group.
Of course, the consumption on both sides is definitely different, but who cares about this bit of silver!
No matter in any era, it is the most natural thing for rich people to spend money to buy happiness.
For a while, Lingxi's Fuxi Xiaozhu was in the limelight in the town, and naturally there were people who wanted to follow suit, but they fried the base material a few times in private, and the base was either bitter or numb, and there was no secret recipe for hot pot, so they could only watch dryly.
Xiaoxian Xiaoya was worried that someone would leak the secret recipe at first, but later found that Lingxi had thought of it from the beginning, and she had always let everyone master only one step, so even if she hired someone to fry it, the other party didn't know the complete secret recipe and cutting order.
Maybe it's because everything is on track again, and the days are busy but orderly. Ling Xi began to count the days with his fingers again, how long Yun Hao had been gone.
At the beginning, she would think about telling Yun Hao everything that happened around her for days, thinking about how to phrase it, and when the days were longer, she began to doubt whether Yun Hao's behavior that day could be taken seriously, and after a few days, she began to be in a daze, unable to even dream, just thinking about him. The starlight in his eyes, the snow on his shoulders, the breath of his lips and teeth, and the good night in his arms.
