The newly rented courtyard has a total of ten rooms. Six rooms, a living room, an ear room, a kitchen, and a miscellaneous room. Shen Qingru took Xiao Baozi and Aunt Lan and lived in the main house in the backyard. Aunt Liu and Xiaoyu, Chang Huaihua and Zhuzi's daughter-in-law each have one each, and they also live in the backyard.

Originally, Shen Qingru didn't want Zhuzi's daughter-in-law to come with her. The dog is still young, and he can't do without his mother. Zhuzi's daughter-in-law also hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to follow. The dog has been weaned, so it is okay to hand it over to Aunt Li. But Xiao Ji'er is only more than three months old, and she can't be weaned, and the new one is definitely not as familiar as her.

In the front yard, Chang Dazhuang and Chang Shan have a room, and Chang Shui and Liu Qi have a room. There is also one reserved as a guest room. Liu Yi and Liu Shu stayed in Qingshui Village to learn the craft with the pillar father and son.

The three of them still make pastries, and Shen Qingru and Aunt Lan occasionally help. Now that it's closer, I don't have to get up early and stay dark, it's much easier. Chang Dazhuang took a few children to work in the store.

The shop is still being renovated. Shen Qingru separated two small rooms of five square meters on the side, which were reserved for selling pastries and cars. As for the store, Shen Qingru had already thought about it, so he opened a hot pot restaurant. This thing is not very technical, and now that it is winter, it is just right to eat hot pot.

Dude doesn't need to recruit, a few people are enough. It's the chef, Shen Qingru recruited two. Another one was recruited, and another was a dishwasher.

The chef has a surname Yang and a surname Zhou, Master Yang is generous, and Master Zhou is kind. After listening to Shen Qingru talk about the hot pot method, he was very surprised. In the past few days, according to Shen Qingru's suggestion, several base materials have been researched, and Shen Qingru has tasted them one by one and thinks they are not bad.

The opening time was set for the first day of December, and due to the publicity of Aunt Liu's pastry stall, the hot pot restaurant gathered some popularity before it opened. Shen Qingru also asked someone to copy a lot of discount notices and distribute them on the street. So this hot pot restaurant called "Pleasant Goat" attracted many onlookers on the opening day.

Shen Qingru also specially ordered a batch of Pleasant Goat dolls, of course, the drawings were provided by her. The first three days of eating will be discounted, and each person can get a living Pleasant Goat doll for free. Attracted by these conditions, there are finally customers who have stepped into this unheard of hot pot restaurant. Slowly, many customers who like to try new things also entered the store. And when the aroma of hot pot overflows, people who were originally watching from the sidelines pour into the store.

When the ribbon was cut, Shen Qingru did not come forward, but was replaced by Chang Dazhuang. It's better for a man to show up than a woman, and she doesn't want to get into trouble. At this moment, Shen Qingru was nesting in the kitchen, and he was very happy to see the hot scene in the hall through the curtain.

The three of Aunt Liu finished selling the pastries and came over to help, so that Chang Dazhuang and the others were a little more relaxed.

At the end of this day, after deducting the cost, I actually made a net profit of thirty taels of silver. Aunt Liu rubbed her arms and closed her mouth happily: "If you can earn so much every day, you are willing to be tired." ”

Shen Qingru said with a smile: "This is just opened, and there will be fewer people in the future, so it would be good to have half of them." ”

Chang Huaihua said: "Fifteen taels a day, it's almost five hundred taels a month." I've never seen so much silver in my life. "If it had been before, it would have been unthinkable, even though the silver was not hers. However, Liu Yi's father and son were apprentices, each with one tael of silver a month. After completing the study, it is also a piece to get 30%. Liu Qi helped in the store, two taels of silver a month.

At the pastry shop, Shen Qingru let it all go to Aunt Liu, but at Aunt Liu's strong request, she still took forty percent. The rest, Aunt Liu, Chang Huaihua, and Zhuzi's daughter-in-law, are two percent per person. The pastry shop has a fixed income of five taels of silver a day. Two achievements are one or two. That's how it goes. Their family earns thirty-four taels a month. A month ago, I was still worried about my next meal, but now I have an income of dozens of taels. Chang Huaihua has to thank God every day, of course, the people she is most grateful to are Aunt Liu and Shen Qingru. Thank you to Aunt Liu who read them, and thank you to Shen Qingru who turned decay into magic.

Three days later, sure enough, there were fewer customers in the store, but the daily income was around twenty taels of silver, which was much higher than Shen Qingru expected. And the Pleasant Goat puppets sent out also set off a trend. Many young ladies and girls are asking where they are sold.

Shen Qingru had been prepared for this situation for a long time. However, there were not many people available in her hands, so she had to order a batch in Xiuzhuang. Then Aunt Lan used a special embroidery technique to embroider the Pleasant Goat head logo. Put it in the hot pot restaurant as a souvenir and give it to customers who have spent a certain amount of silver. This made many ladies urge their fathers and brothers to come to the store for dinner, and the business in the store became popular.

Shen Qingru is busy with the business of the store these days, but he has neglected the little buns a lot. Aunt Lan complained several times that Xiao Baozi woke up and couldn't find her mother, and she couldn't stop crying. Shen Qingru was guilty and helpless, no one could understand these things except her, and many things had to be done by herself. Fortunately, the hot pot restaurant is gradually on the right track, and she also has more time to spend with Xiao Baozi.

After several months of careful feeding, Xiao Ji'er's body has become much stronger. There was some flesh on the arms and legs, especially on the belly, which was white and soft, like a lump of cotton. Every time Shen Qingru changed his clothes, he couldn't help pinching his little belly and giggling at the funny little bun.

At this time, Shen Qingru will feel happy from the bottom of his heart, as if as long as he sees the little bun happy, the fatigue of the day can disappear in an instant. She really understands the mood of being a mother. She couldn't help but think that maybe God asked her to come here just to serve this little bun.
