Chapter 145: It's the fate of you and me
Yu shopkeeper's face changed, he opened the paper nervously, looked at it page by page, and his frowning eyebrows gradually stretched, and finally he laughed.
"The eldest lady is really good at laughing, these things will only be happier when you look at them, why worry!"
Mo Li blinked his eyes slyly: "It's not many days before Qixi Festival, the garden is cleaned up, and it has to be arranged, and many things have to be bought, I'm afraid that the shopkeeper will worry that he can't be busy." ”
"Yes, yes, yes," Shopkeeper Yu nodded again and again, "This time is really a little tight, and we have to find a way to let everyone know that we have a show on the night of Qixi Festival in Quanweilou." ”
"It's not that hard." Mo Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, and told the shopkeeper his plan in detail.
The two discussed for half an afternoon, and when it was over, they called Lao Qiao and Da Fat over, gave them a few recipes for new dishes, and asked the shopkeeper Yu to find someone to make handy tools according to the drawings she drew.
After finishing this, I took Ruoping and went to the Mo family's grocery store not far from Quanwei Building.
Mo Li could afford the price, and the craftsmen worked hard, but in just a few days, the grocery store had been repainted.
The windows and doors were replaced with jade-white wooden strips, and the corners were decorated with gold lacquer. In this era, there was no glass, Mo Li asked craftsmen to use various colors of window paper to put together geometric shapes on the doors and windows, colored window paper with white wood strips and gold paint, really a bit of European style feeling.
This style of shop, not to mention in Dongshi Street, even the whole capital, even the Great Zhou Dynasty can't find a second one. Anyone who passed by here all looked back and looked a few more times, and guessed what kind of business this shop was used for.
The former shopkeeper of the grocery store had let Mo Li quit, and now it was handed over to Xu Minglang and Xu Ermao.
Xu Minglang is cautious, strict with every detail, and stares at the craftsmen for decoration in full accordance with Mo Li's instructions.
Although Xu Ermao is not as literate and hyphenated as Xu Minglang, he is a clever person, and his legs and feet are also diligent.
The combination of these two people saved Mo Li a lot of heart.
Mo Li stood at the door of the shop, although the decoration had not yet been completed, the general appearance had been made, basically the same as what she wanted.
"Miss Mo!"
Mo Li was just about to raise his feet to take a look inside the shop, when a warm voice sounded behind him, and he turned his head to meet a pair of brown eyes.
Nan Xiuyu was standing behind her with a smile like a spring breeze: "Miss Mo, what a coincidence, we met again." ”
"Nan Gongzi," Mo Li looked at his side, there was no figure of Nan Xiuwan, and asked slightly, "Are you here to visit Dongshi Street today?" What about Sister Ling? ”
"Wan'er went to buy rouge." Nan Xiuyu pointed to the rouge shop not far away, "I don't understand the things of the girl's house, so I waited for her outside, and looked at Miss Xiang Mo from a distance, so I came to take a look." ”
"Is Miss Mo also curious about this shop? I passed by with Wan'er just now, and I also felt that this shop was very different, and I didn't know what kind of business it was. ”
"It used to be a grocery store, but it will be converted into a shop specializing in foreign goods." Mo Li explained.
"What is a foreign product? Never heard of it under it. ”
Even with questions, Nan Xiuyu still had a shallow smile, and his smile was like a gentle breeze, making people feel comfortable.
"Huh? Isn't this Miss Mo? No wonder the third brother left me and ignored me. Nan Xiuwan spun to Nan Xiuyu's side like a cheerful butterfly, "Miss Mo, what are you talking about?" ”
Mo Li nodded at Nan Xiuwan, which was regarded as a greeting: "Nan Gongzi is asking me what is a foreign product." ”
"The imported goods are things that are transported by ship from the South Seas, which are not available in the Great Zhou. Since then, the shop has been dedicated to selling these novelty items. ”
Mo Li patiently explained: "It is precisely because the things sold are different, so this decoration must also be unique. ”
"Could it be that the owner of this shop is also Miss Mo?" Nan Xiuwan's big eyes sparkled, full of envy.
Mo Li bowed slightly: "The shop will probably officially open on the first day of July, if Miss Nan is interested, you can come and have a look at it then." ”
"Okay, okay!" Nan Xiuwan abandoned his third brother's arm and grabbed Mo Li, "I just like those novelties, I used to have a small mirror, which is said to be something from Nanyang, but unfortunately it was broken by me later, even then, I didn't want to throw it away." ”
Nan Xiuwan sighed with pity, and could see that the little mirror must be her beloved.
"There are a few small mirrors, and there are dressing boxes with mirrors, Miss Nan can come over and pick one you like when the time comes." Mo Li had always been reluctant to get too close to people, and quietly withdrew his arm from Nan Xiuwan's hand.
But she didn't hate this bright and beautiful woman, because her eyes were pure, and her smile didn't have any impurities in it, it was pure joy.
Nan Xiuwan clapped her hands happily: "There are only a few days left on the first day of the seventh month, and the third brother and I will definitely come to cheer at that time." Miss Mo, it's better to meet by chance, I met again today, it's the fate of you and me, Miss Mo is going to eat smoothies together, right? ”
Nan Xiuyu poked Nan Xiuwan's head with a finger: "Little gluttonous cat, you know how to eat, have you forgotten that the smoothie hasn't been made at this time?" If you want to eat, you have to go back in the evening! ”
Looking at Nan Xiuwan's foodie face, and being said by her brother and replaced with a look of grievance, Mo Li couldn't help but cover her lips and smile: "Now that there is a large demand for smoothies, the daily supply has been increased, and there are also at this time." ”
As soon as Nan Xiuwan heard that she would be able to eat smoothies right now, she immediately forgot about the unpleasantness just now, and once again took Mo Li's arm: "Then Miss Mo, let's go now." ”
Mo Li pointed to the shop in front of him: "I just came from Quanwei Building, and there are still some things to deal with here, you go first, and I will go back immediately." ”
Seeing that Mo Li had accepted the invitation, Nan Xiuyu arched his hand with joy: "Wan'er and I are waiting for Miss Mo in Quanwei Building, and we will leave first." ”
After the Nan brothers and sisters left, Mo Li stepped into the shop that was being renovated, the walls had been painted a faint pink, and the two craftsmen were painting patterns on the walls according to her requirements.
Walking through the shop to the backyard, the shelves that had been laid out according to her request were already painted and waiting to dry. Xu Minglang and Xu Ermao were directing several mothers-in-law to make curtains.
Hearing the footsteps, Xu Ermao greeted him first and bowed down: "The eldest lady is here, and if you miss the welcome, I hope to forgive your sins." ”
"Heh, I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you learn this, and it's a set!" Ruoping knocked on Xu Ermao's head with a violent millet.
Xu Ermao rubbed his sore head and snorted at Xu Minglang: "Minglang said, we are going to receive nobles in the future, we can't be so casual as in the grocery store before, we must be polite and courteous." ”
