"I'm just talking about fun, come on, come on, tell me, who is your crush?" Xi Zien deliberately pretended to be very curious.

Li Jicai frowned, and subconsciously refused, this kind of thing is strange to a man to think about it.

"It's not early, you see when you should go home, I think it will be soon, this rain will fall, if you go back early, you won't be caught in the rain, you seem to be afraid of the cold."

Xi Zien came in and stood at the door Li Jicai still remembers, shrinking his neck and head, eager to shrink himself, the wind blowing outside is not small.

Xi Zien also wanted to say a few more words about Li Jicai's sweetheart, after all, he likes to inquire about gossip and is used to it, and his curiosity is relatively heavy, if Li Jicai tells him, he will really be a little itchy.

"This, this is not in a hurry, right, what? Do you still have things to do? ”

"Yes, the follow-up work in this store has not been completed, today I plan to install the door first, and then go out to invite the painter who has been negotiated, and the artist will live in the store for the next two days."

"And the time we agreed upon? Do you have time to prepare?"

"That is to say, in three days, if you have time, you can prepare a meal for them alone, and if you open it, it is estimated that it will be seven or eight days later." Li Jicai made a slight estimate in his heart that the rest of the things in this store could not be taken in seven or eight days.

I have been busy for more than a month, from the small dishes and chopsticks, to the tables, chairs, benches, walls, and store doors, everything has been carefully discussed.

The family's savings have also been used a lot, just waiting for this turmoil to pass, and the store will be upgraded to provide a better dining experience.

Li Jicai has no plans to close this store for the time being, after all, she has calculated, Li Jiye has just entered the officialdom, and there are still many things to be taken care of, she can't be idle at home, she doesn't do anything, she doesn't know much, and she has no idea about getting married for the time being, and Suiyuanju is now operating in the rising period, so she is still reluctant to give up, and the employees in the store also rely on her.

"Actually, I'm here today to inform you, so that you can prepare early, and apologize to you when the time comes."

"I know your good intentions, just in terms of apologies, you really embarrassed me, you know that there was no problem with my food that day, this time it is a disaster."

"If you want to blame Qi Qingchu, it was Na Luo Lianfang who he provoked, and there was no way to affect others." Xi Zien shrugged his shoulders, his face was full of indifference, for him, whether this matter is successful or not, it will not affect him, but because Li Jicai came to ask him for help, he just helped her, yes, that's it.

Li Jicai thought in her heart that through this opportunity, she could also take a look, what was the woman who was very close to Qi Qingchu like? What attracted Qi Qingchu to her, did Qi Qingchu like such a woman?

Moving around in the store, Xi Zien will certainly not help Li Jicai, this is not in line with his identity, and what Li Jicai said is not wrong.

It was dark outside, and it was like eating people, worse than when he first came.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so it is better to go back to the house early to warm the bed.

Serving in the court is idle, and there is usually no major event, but it is his turn, even if there is, he will follow Qi Qingchu and listen to his arrangement.

So most of the time, Xi Zien is very carefree, and he is almost bored.

This has also developed the habit of holding on to a little sesame thing.

After such contact, he thought that Li Jicai was very funny, and he was a person who could be deeply acquainted.

After Li Jicai and Xi Zien talked a little more, Xi Zien also went home.

The cups and plates on the table were left for Li Jicai to clean up.

After Xi Zien left, Li Jicai poured the dumplings he had deliberately left into Xiao Erhei's exclusive dog bowl.

Then they began to tidy up, and they had just eaten dumplings on the table, and received all those cups and bowls to the back kitchen.

I don't know if the painter recognizes Suiyuanju, if she knows that she comes to the door in the afternoon, she doesn't have to pick it up.

The tables and chairs in the front hall have to be rearranged, the designed door has to be installed, and the groove of the sliding door has been designed, but I don't know how effective the door will be when you put it on and slide.

The two wooden doors were light and didn't look sturdy, so Lee kept the design of the original outside door and then made the second door a sliding door.

In fact, to be reasonable, putting a screen can solve the problem, but Li Jicai thinks that since it is a hotel, it should have the appearance of a hotel, and what is the hotel used for?

The restaurant is used for eating, and when you eat, you will want to be quiet and not disturbed, not to mention that she can also ask the painter to draw the kind of content with characteristic propaganda on the door, so that it is not just a signboard, but a plaque alone is not enough to attract guests.

Li Jicai's hard recollection, she saw the decoration habits of those thriving hotels in modern times, and wanted to bring forth the new, on the street where Suiyuanju is located, it can be refreshing, but it is the kind of low-key and connotative hotel.

And the store is about to become a multi-functional area, in the morning to sell breakfast, steamed buns, fritters, siu mai or something occasionally made, you can sell a sale, at noon still sell set meals and special stir-fried dishes, in the evening, do not accept set meals, mainly to launch some early dishes, as well as supper and the like.

Li Jicai even thought that in the summer of the coming year, she could put crayfish and barbecue on the agenda.

In the past two years, it has been developing steadily and earning a good reputation, which is to provide a prerequisite for subsequent drastic innovation.

After all, no matter what it is, you have to take it slowly, step by step.

The painter came at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, straddle a gray cloth bag with a change of clothes inside.

When he came, Li Jicai had already installed the two sliding doors, and the tables, chairs, benches, and everything else were also divided and placed.

On the left hand side is the single area, on the right hand side is the multi-person area, leaving a large stride distance in the middle of the aisle, today's guests follow this aisle until the head turns right is the ordering area, after ordering the menu, immediately receive a wooden card, the wooden number represents the number of guests at the first table, so that no confusion will happen.

It can also reduce a lot of burden on the little two who run the hall, after all, it is inevitable that it is easy to remember when there are many guests, and when there are many guests in the previous Suiyuanju, it is also too busy.

When Cao Jingcheng stood at the door of Suiyuanju, what he saw was Li Jicai, who was busy scrubbing the table under the light of the candlelight.

The simple and simple gray dress, Cao Jingcheng looked at it, and felt that the color of the other party's clothes was exactly the same as the color of the cloth bag on his arm, was it the same and how many patches were made in the invisible places?

A blue apron was tied around his waist, the hair on his head was coiled up with wooden chopsticks, his face was not powdered, and his skin was a little yellow. The spirit is still good, and the black eyes look very aura.

The apricot eyes have a small face, a straight and small nose, and diamond-shaped lips that are a little delicate, which looks like a beauty billet, and it is estimated that it will look better when it grows up.

Cao Jingchen secretly and boldly assessed in his heart, never daring to let people see his thoughts.

Li Jicai doesn't look like a native of Chu, not as graceful and white and beautiful as the women in the south of the Yangtze River, nor as rugged and tall as the women in the north, as if he is in between.

The long-term labor made her hands not look so delicate, very rough and yellow and wrinkled. It also looks a little old, and it doesn't look like it's been well maintained.

If you say that there is nothing special about the whole body, it looks very ordinary.

I don't know why, just looking at this face, it's easy to make people feel intimate.

When approached, I felt that she was a lively and lovely character, and a little woman with a hint of courage and ability.

Before this, the two had already met, and if it weren't for Li Jicai going to him in person, he would really think that Li Jicai was the second child in the store, a scrubber.

And not the one who came to him and asked him to draw, boss.

"Boss Li......" Cao Jingcheng's tone of voice was a little hesitant, looking at this woman who was younger than him, who turned out to be the owner of a store who supported a store independently, he couldn't help but have some admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Painter, are you here?" Hearing someone call him, Li Jicai raised his head and turned his face sideways, and saw Cao Jingcheng, who was standing at the door and had not yet stepped into the threshold, and smiled at him, his face was a little excited, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Cao Jingcheng nodded hesitantly, a little at a loss.

"It's too cold outside, please come in, please come in, you sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of hot tea." Li Jicai put down the rag that was scrubbing the table, and then wiped his hand casually on his blue cloth apron, a little embarrassed.

In Li Jicai's heart, people who can paint have always been literati and scholars, like her, who have been immersed in business for several years, have long been contaminated with the copper smell of businessmen, and in front of elegant people, they will feel more or less restrained and uncomfortable.

Cao Jingcheng looked at Li Jicai's busy figure and her attitude towards him, and felt that he was respected and looked up to.

He is an unknown painter in Fishtail Alley, as the name suggests, the whole alley is actually made up of fishermen who make a living by fishing and selling fish.

What can be in this fishtail alley? They are all vulgar market people, and making a living is their most important task.

Cao Jingcheng was born into one of the fishermen's families.

He was born with an active love for painting, and he also learned painting from many people, blending the strengths of hundreds of schools, but he did not succeed.

His parents, brothers and sisters all hope that Cao Jingcheng can become famous, change his own destiny, change the fate of his family, and soar to the top.

It's a pity that Cao Jingcheng has no intention of embarking on a career in office, in his twenties, he is still addicted to painting, and the paintings at home are piled up and almost filled a house.

If it weren't for his father's unexpected death last year, Cao Jingcheng probably would still be huddled in his house and wouldn't come out, and he wouldn't think about going out to make a living by relying on any skills.
