Chapter Seventy-Five: Presumably Dry Firewood Meets Fire

Jin Xiaolou originally planned to take Gui Zhi to Xinning to see the shops, because this was their future home.

It's just that Lin'er's scald caused a high fever and needs to be taken care of for a moment, and Guizhi himself has suffered from the wind and cold and has not recovered, so after thinking twice, he decided to wait for the store to be repaired before taking Guizhi there.

Jin Xiaolou saw Guo Ruyue again on the bank of the Yicheng River, under the willow tree in front of Guo Ruyue's house.

I haven't seen her for a while, but she has lost a lot of weight, and the clothes she wears are thicker and more generous.

Lao Zhangtou's funeral has been completed, and Ruyue put her plain clothes under the big hat and walked to the second-story building with Jin Xiaolou.

Entering the small building, Jin Xiaolou knew that there was a small inner courtyard behind the two-story building, and there was a white magnolia in the middle of the courtyard, which was gratifying and lush. There is a well next to the magnolia tree, which has been dried up for many days, and it is filled with silt, and it is surrounded by a row of wings, a total of 12 rooms.

The small building facing the street is a wooden structure, with two rooms underneath, a lobby connected to a back kitchen, a dozen mahogany square tables in the lobby, and an account desk at the door. There are pots and pans in the back kitchen, and it looks like it used to be a restaurant.

The second floor was much messier and sloppy, with a lot of debris scattered on the ground, dusty floors, and cobwebs everywhere on the eaves and window lattices.

I think the boss used this second floor as a storage room, and people didn't come up often.

Jin Xiaolou walked to the window, stretched out his hand to brush away the cobwebs, and looked out.

Xiangshui Street is like a vivid picture, spreading out from the window. At this time, it is noon, the street is very lively, leaning on this window to take in the street scene, blowing a gentle breeze, indescribably refreshing.

The previous shopkeeper really had no vision, and it was a pity that such an excellent location on the second floor was only used to display goods.

Jin Xiaolou took out the design drawings and explained the repair to Guo Ruyue.

On the first floor, Jin Xiaolou plans to open a fast food restaurant, and the location of the account desk is changed to an ordering area, next to the ordering area is the self-pickup dining area, and two windows are opened at the back to directly open the back kitchen, which can not only see the kitchen preparation, transparent and assured, but also serve food quickly.

The lobby is divided into four areas through the arrangement of tables and chairs, and the windows facing the street are changed to large windows with a whole wall half-open, and a row of single long tables and chairs are placed under the windows; In the middle is a rectangular wooden table with four chairs; The innermost side is fanned along the wall, surrounded by a small round table, and a semi-enclosed private room.

In the last vacant space, there are some pairs of people sitting alone.

"There is another important point, remember to hang a sign under the signboard at the door, open 24 hours a day!" Jin Xiaolou waved his hand and said loudly.

"What?" Guo Ruyue was stunned.

"Oh...... That ......" Jin Xiaolou suddenly reacted, "It's open at twelve o'clock!" ”

"Twelve o'clock?" Ruyue was a little confused, "But there will be a curfew on the second watch, where will anyone come at night?" ”

"Curfew?" Jin Xiaolou was in the village before, and he went out when he wanted to go out at night, and then he realized that there was a curfew at night in the town, and people were forbidden to walk around the streets unless the ban was lifted on a festival.

"It's okay." Jin Xiaolou thought for a while, "Hang the sign out first, ordinary people can't come, isn't there a night watchman!" ”

Guo Ruyue nodded, picked up the pen and wrote down Jin Xiaolou's arrangements one by one.

"As for the second floor." Jin Xiaolou slowly arrived, "First of all, we must open another staircase, the second floor must go up directly from the street, not from the first floor, and the two restaurants must be completely independent." ”

The second floor is very simple, first tear down half of the wall, make a small terrace out, plant some flowers and plants on the terrace, and count it as an open-air private room.

The windows should be wide, preferably floor-to-ceiling, and then only come out of the three private rooms next to the windows.

The empty hall in the middle is elegantly furnished, and the band is scheduled to perform regularly.

"Band? Performance? "Ruyue is a little confused.

"That's right, any silk and bamboo orchestra, pipa and zither, you can do it, it's different every day." Jin Xiaolou explained, "There are not many people on the second floor, so you can only book to come!" ”

"Sister Ruyue, look at this basic decoration...... Uh, I mean repair, how long does it take? Jin Xiaolou asked, it's okay after a long time, Gao Langke is still waiting to pick it up.

Guo Ruyue thought for a while: "Everything else is simple, mainly the terrace on the second floor you mentioned, it is estimated that it is a little difficult, and it will take at least a month to be full." ”

"Okay, that's a month, this month to clean up the backyard first. Recruit some guys, that wing room can be used as a staff dormitory, and I'll go back and study the dishes! Jin Xiaolou was sprinkled.

Ten or twelve wings, no matter how much you can live.

Sort it out first, even if the shop is not repaired, she and Gui Zhilin'er can move in first.

As neighbors with the Jin family every day, there are always countless bad things that entangle them.

"Staff quarters?" Besides, Ruyue muttered, although she heard the word staff dormitory for the first time, but she vaguely guessed that it was a place for the little two running hall handymen and other guys in the hall to live.

After Jin Xiaolou finished explaining, he handed the design drawings to Guo Ruyue, and planned to go to see Gao Lang before returning to the village.

On the way to Nanfeng Pavilion, Jin Xiaolou deliberately took a long detour and went to Zhiwei Zhai to buy a jujube mud cake and a Poria cocos cake.

Zhiwei Zhai's pastry is the first one in Xinning, the jujube paste cake is made of fine golden silk jujube grinded into jujube paste, sandy and sweet, wrapped in egg yolk and baked far away, there is a sweet taste.

When he arrived at the Nanfeng Pavilion, the door of the pavilion was still closed, and as soon as Jin Xiaolou knocked on the door, Shi Shiran opened the door and came out.

Seeing that it was Jin Xiaolou, he took the lead in laughing: "The little daughter-in-law wants to be married?" It's not enough to write a letter, but to see for yourself! ”

Jin Xiaolou blushed and hurriedly handed over the Poria sandwich cake.

Zhiwei Zhai's Poria cocos crust is as thin as paper, the color is snow-white, like a white cloud, and it is very nourishing, Jin Xiaolou feels that it is suitable for Crane Niang.

He Niang accepted the meeting gift, stopped making fun of Jin Xiaolou, led her to the wooden door of Gao Lang's room, twisted her waist, and left.

Before leaving, he couldn't help it, and laughed and teased: "I haven't seen you for a few days, it must be dry firewood encountering a fire, and the movement can be small." I'm a Qing Pavilion here, and the people living next to it are all crispy and tender raw melon eggs. ”

Jin Xiaolou was so ashamed that even the base of his neck turned red.

Although she is married, she has never even talked about love, and her experience is about equal to zero.

Even if I kissed Gao Lang last time, it was just an expedient measure, and it couldn't be counted.

Where can I stand being ridiculed like this, I can't wait to find a hole to get into at this moment.

In the room separated by a wooden door, Gao Lang reclined and sit, his face sinking like water, and Chang'an, who was opposite him, looked dazed.

This Jin Xiaolou came by coincidence, Chang'an had just come in from outside the window, and before he could stand firmly, he heard footsteps outside the house.

Just as I wanted to turn around and run out of the window again, there happened to be a bunch of women in raccoon clothes outside, passing by with a wooden basin and laughing.

In the blink of an eye, Jin Xiaolou was already standing in front of the door.

Chang'an looked at the seventh master in front of him, Gao Lang blinked and looked at Chang'an.

Chang'an swallowed his saliva, Gao Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly: "Well, it's good tea." ”

This...... Chang'an's face darkened, and he asked quietly, "Seventh Master...... I ......"

Gao Lang stretched out his hand and gestured to silence, casually pointed to the closet behind him, Chang'an ran quickly to the closet, and as soon as he opened the door, there was a knock on the door.

"Gao Lang, I've come to see you!" Jin Xiaolou spoke out outside.

The wardrobe opened, Chang'an inhaled, tried and tried, but couldn't fit in......

I hate the meat when it is used!

"Seventh Master...... I ......"

Gao Lang put the cup: "Lady, you are here!" ”

Gao Lang's expressionless face suddenly became vivid, and as he spoke, he walked to the door, turned his head and stretched out his hand to point to the beam.

Chang'an closed the closet and scurried up, wanting to climb to the beams, but the beams of this Pleiades Star Tower were slender and the roof was low, so Chang'an could only hang on it and could see it at a glance.

Chang'an has never been in such a hurry, and the nearest bed is sealed.

As far as I could see, there was no hiding place in the entire bedroom. Seeing that Gao Lang didn't say a word, he directly opened the door, Chang'an flew up, rolled onto the bed, pulled the brocade quilt, and covered himself tightly.

"Lady, do you miss me?" Gao Lang leaned up and twisted Jin Xiaolou's arm, and as soon as he got closer, he smelled a fragrance, "Hmm, lady, you are so fragrant!" ”

Jin Xiaolou's face was still red, and he said with a smile: "It's not the fragrance of the lady, it's the fragrance of the jujube paste cake in the lady's hand, let's eat it!" ”

As he spoke, he handed the jujube cake to Gao Lang and raised his eyes to look at Gao Lang's residence.

Seeing Jin Xiaolou walking towards the bed, Gao Lang hurriedly grabbed Jin Xiaolou from behind and hugged him: "Lady, let's eat together." ”

Jin Xiaolou sat at the table with Gao Lang at this time, and took a piece of jujube paste cake, Jin Xiaolou looked around at the residence, and asked, "Are you still used to being here these days?" Did you eat well, dressed well, and did you suffer any grievances? ”

Gao Lang nodded: "Well, it's good." Well fed, well dressed, Tsuru Niang is fine, I'm fine here. ”

This accommodation doesn't look big, but it's clean and tidy, and it's comfortable, and it's much better than a thatched hut.

Jin Xiaolou then put his mind at ease and took a bite of the jujube cake, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

His eyes looked straight at the bed.

The triple splendid hibiscus quilt is thick and warm, but the quilt that is spread out is arched high on the bed, how do you look at it, how does it look like a person sleeping under the quilt......

"Gao Lang......" Jin Xiaolou frowned, as he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture not to move at Gao Lang, "Is the jujube mud cake delicious?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Jin Xiaolou quickly ran to the bed, raised his hand, and lifted the hibiscus brocade quilt......
