The thirty-first time I am happy to encounter trouble, and the delicious food is more to be tasted quietly
Hey, it's home. The car got off the highway ramp and saw the city. Zhong Sheng said to the two people who were sleeping soundly.
"So soon?" Xiaolan opened her eyes and looked out the window in disbelief. There are still 5 or 6 kilometers to go.
When you get off the highway, it's no different from getting home. You have to be at the doorstep, right? He glanced at her in the mirror, quietly wiping the saliva from the corners of his mouth.
He was found looking at her in the mirror. "Don't look!" I was a little embarrassed and hid under the backrest.
"Cut, who's watching you, I'll see if there's a car behind." He hidden.
Hongjuan only looked up at the window, but there was no squeak. The afternoon sun shone obliquely into the car, making it impossible to open your eyes.
The car arrived in the city, and the speed slowed down. There are more pedestrians on the streets, the long holiday is coming to an end, and people are hurrying. The sparse tempo is returning to the main theme of the Allegro.
The shops on the street are already open, and the festive red lanterns are wafting in the breeze.
Walking by, passing by, the shouting that should not be missed, seems to be weak, and the person who hears it has no impulse. The roadside bus stop sign is scrolling, and the advertisement of "Where to go during the Spring Festival holiday, take you to Africa in 7 days" is rolling red, but it is already outdated.
Ho, this can also go to Africa, he sighed. I wondered if he was really out.
"Let's take a look at our shop. It's still early anyway. Xiaolan proposed.
"Okay." Zhong Sheng readily agreed.
The car turned left and right, under the command of Xiaolan, and arrived at the door of the store she said.
She took the key out of her bag, opened the door, and Zhong Sheng and Hongjuan followed her inside. It was a little dark inside, and Zhong Sheng blinked his eyes a few times before he could see the situation inside: about one hundred and ten square meters, rough room, except for the glass door and no windows.
"That's pretty good." He was quite satisfied with the façade, so he said casually.
"160 square meters, I can't sell it, I can't rent it, so I have to be my own landlord." Xiaolan said.
"Is the title transferred?" He asked.
"It was over last year. It's just a bit off, or such a big store, it's easy to rent. Xiaolan replied.
"Now it seems a bit off-the-beaten, but it's not like there is no business, as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. You see, there is a noodle restaurant next door to you, which has been open for a year, and as you can see from the signboard, it has been almost this long.
When I first passed by, I saw that it was really light inside, and the rent and heating expenses of such a large house were enough. He can last a year, and I am sure that there is some business here, and it is not very prosperous. Otherwise, it would have closed its doors long ago.
Persistence is victory, and when you open here, it's going to be hot. I'm a firm believer in that! Zhong Sheng was encouraging Xiaolan.
"As long as you have Brother Zhong's support, you will definitely do it!" Xiaolan said confidently. I was very happy in my heart. "Look there's a partition here, and there's a stove over there," she was planning the layout of the storefront.
"When the time comes, you will come here every day to eat, and you will no longer have to do it yourself pitifully." She paints a picture of the future with great anticipation.
"Then I won't eat for nothing. I'll mop the floor and wipe the table, but I'll do the heavy, tiring, and dirty work anyway. Zhong Sheng said eagerly.
Hongjuan was moved by their sketch of the future, "Then what am I doing?" "Take the initiative to ask for help.
"When the time comes, you will watch the children, collect money, and exhaust you!" Xiaolan said.
"It's a good job, but you don't have to die of exhaustion." He looked at Hongjuan with a smile, just to settle the accounts and find the right money. ”
"That's not easy!" The little girl said quite confidently.
"Well, it's good to be confident, Mr. Lan will do a good job of planning as soon as possible, find a good construction team, and start construction as soon as possible." Seeing their enthusiastic appearance, Zhong Sheng struck while the iron was hot.
"I have long said that a distant relative in my hometown specializes in hotel decoration. After having this idea that day, I called him, and he was very happy to hear it, saying that he had long wanted to come here to develop, and he gave me this job for free, saying that he would set up a benchmark first, advertise, and strive for more opportunities.
He set off on the tenth day of the first month, and he can be here in three days, and when he finishes the decoration design and comes up with the budget, we can prepare the materials and start construction. In less than half a month, we will be able to open.
Xiaolan smugly talked about her plan, and her expression was completely different from before. People have become not only energetic, but also full of self-confidence.
In the face of the pressure of life and the difficulties of survival, a strong mental state is like armor, protecting our delicate and fragile good wishes. Otherwise, how vulnerable.
He watched as the two sisters walked sideways and vertically measuring the length and width of the room, and he watched as if he were an outsider. I was thinking in my heart: opening a store is only the first step in the long march, and there is still a long way to go in the future. But in any case, the first step is the key.
Action is always a guarantee of success!
Almost, the site layout has formed a rough idea. Xiaolan is still lingering reluctantly, and seems to be still thinking about some important issues.
Can you go? Mr. Lan? He jokingly urged her. She said, "Let's go, "What's the name of our store?" She puffed out her eyes and looked around to herself.
How about Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Juan suggested. This name is very familiar, as if it has already been registered, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau will not approve it. Zhong Sheng said uncertainly.
That... The little girl's eyes widened, and she was still searching for the unconventional name of the store in her heart.
The name doesn't sound like bells and whistles, so that people can't understand what you're doing, be close to the people, be straightforward, and make people feel kind when they see it, and want to come in and taste it. He suggested.
Cut, modern young people, all listen to the name first, and then enter the store. The fresher and more novel the name, the more attractive it is. Hongjuan retorted unconvinced.
Yes, it also depends on what you are doing and what kind of customer group you are targeting, if it is popular, I think it is better to be more ordinary. Zhong Sheng argued.
"I think it's around your Hunan character to make an article, one to represent the source, the second to represent the taste, and the third is to have a lot of phonetic words, so it's easy to name, such as Lao Xiang, Xiang Qin, Xiang Qi Yiren, Xiang Li Xiang Qin, and so on." Chung Seung continues to sell his ideas.
"If you have it, it's called Lao Xiang's pro-roast marinade shop." Xiaolan was inspired to come up with such a name.
"I agree, add one more word, father and old Hunan relatives, it will definitely be called." Zhong Sheng supports Xiaolan's idea.
"Call it the Smurfs." Hongjuan was clearly unhappy with the name.
"That's the name of a children's toy store. As soon as it sounds, it reminds people of a bunch of blue stuffed dolls. Xiaolan said with a smile.
"It's better to be called Xiangba, everyone knows this. It's catchy as soon as it screams. Hongjuan said unconvinced.
"This name is easy to remember, but it is a little disrespectful to people, and it is used in a certain dish, which can show that the store is real, the braised pork you burned last night can be called a big bowl of braised pork in Xiangba, and it will definitely be eaten!"
Zhong Sheng was still thinking about Xiaolan's braised pork, if it weren't for the disgusting fat man, he would still want to eat a few more pieces.
"Is it delicious?" Xiaolan asked happily.
"Delicious!" Zhong Sheng and Hong Juan replied in unison.
"You two foodies. Walk! I'll do it for you when I go home now! "Sought after, Xiaolan said happily in her heart.
"I'm not going! Feng Ming and her family are coming in a while, I have to go back and clean up, otherwise, it's dirty and messy, she will go back to make a small report. Zhong Sheng excused himself.
"It's been a while, and it should have arrived, and I haven't called yet, so I definitely won't be able to come." Xiaolan guessed with some frustration. "You can give me a call and ask where they are." She said with some expectation.
When Zhong Sheng heard this, he took out his mobile phone to call Feng Ming. When they were connected, he asked them if they were here. Feng Ming hurriedly said, it's all like this, Xiaoyu hasn't come back yet! That Qian Duoduo was arguing that she was a liar and colluded with her second uncle to deceive her, and danced unhappily all afternoon. Alas, this makes people anxious.
Did you call Xiaoyu? He asked. No one answered, or he went over and saw what he was doing? Feng Ming said a little nervously.
Where is he? He asked. "We don't know. I asked my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law couldn't tell where it was. Feng Ming said helplessly.
Then there is no trick. There is no specific boundary, and no one can find it. Don't worry, maybe drink too much and come back in a while. "Then come over tomorrow." Zhong Sheng comforted.
"That's all there is to it. Don't have anything happen to Xiaoyu, I'm always a little uneasy. Feng Ming said worriedly.
"Don't be cranky. As soon as young people go crazy, there is no point in time, and the fun is not over. I'll be back in a while, and I'll be good at teaching. Look at you in a hurry. Zhong Sheng comforted her.
"Wow, what's going on! Your uncle and nephew in our family, none of them are worry-free, your uncle is not an uncle, your uncle is not an uncle, the little one who goes out will not be at home, and his ambition is from all over the world. None of them are good birds! Feng Ming was in a hurry, so he put his uncle and nephew together and sent a group purchase to the gang.
Hearing this, Zhong Sheng wanted to laugh. Feng Ming, a nameless firehead, is really nameless, just like Chef Wang, who can't settle accounts, is not Li Erdan's chemistry teacher. That's around! Is it coherent?
Feng Ming finished complaining and hung up the phone in relief. Zhong Sheng looked at the two sisters with a wry smile, look, the kindness has been counted. Xiao Yu's bad cowardice, when he is idle, discuss life with him. He said nothing.
Then they're not coming, are they? Xiaolan asked him happily.
He said he would come tomorrow. Xiaoyu hasn't gone back yet. Maybe there's something going on, or why don't you answer the phone? He was also a little worried about Feng Ming's influence.
"No, Xiaoyu's doll looks pretty stable to me, not like a stupid big black. Don't worry about it. Let's go. Xiaolan was reassuring his worries. Listening to Xiaolan, he felt somewhat relieved.
Seeing the two of them talking like this, Hongjuan just lowered her head and stomped on the ground on one side, silent.
"It's... It's always inappropriate to disturb your parents over and over again. "He wasn't embarrassed to say for no reason. Although Xiaolan was very good to him before and now, it was in the past, and now it is now, and it is two stages.
If it goes on like this, it will not benefit anyone. He knew very well, but his current situation made him unable to sit idly by. This made him a little entangled, so he was embarrassed.
He only wanted to help them get on the track of a normal life, and he didn't want anything in return. But what would she think? Now it's mixed in with a Hongjuan, I don't know, what Xiaolan said to her, so that this little girl seems to be a little abnormal.
He hesitated. Xiaolan couldn't wait, "Let's go, let's go, grinding, like an old woman, it's annoying." No matter what he thought, he stepped forward and pulled him up and walked to the door.
"Okay, okay, I'll go by myself." Zhong Sheng said as if begging for mercy, broke free from Xiaolan's pull, walked out of the door with Hongjuan, and got into the car.
Xiaolan locked the door in the back and got into the car. The three of them went to Xiaolan's house together.
