Shangyuan Lantern Festival
The next morning, I got up and went out to see, a white expanse, snow everywhere, the sky was still sparsely falling, just a little smaller than yesterday, after breakfast, Xiaolan and I went out to the store, there were few people on the street, when Xiaolan and I slid step by step to the store, Jordan and they had already arrived, I wrote down the things that needed to be done and handed them to Jordan to do, he took the two pillars, the three pillars of the brothers went out in the snow, and the people who stayed I asked them if they could write? Only Liu Jun, who ran the hall, read for a few days, I asked him to write a few words and take it to read, the words are quite neat, but he can't do it alone! I gave him the words of the written leaflet and asked him to find someone to copy it, the more the better, the three chefs in the kitchen told them about the soup and small ingredients of the hot pot and the recipe, and wrote a list to arrange the chef He Manwang to buy goods, all kinds of dry goods and game and all kinds of seasonings, and the rest of the people packed up and cleaned up in the store.
In the afternoon, the snow also stopped, Rong Ruo took Qingtong and another person to the store, I was busy moving the table out, seeing Rong Ruo came and immediately stopped and greeted him, Rong Ruo saw that I was busy with my sleeves, frowned slightly and asked me, "Is there no one?" How do you get your hands dirty? I smiled and said: "I'm idle and it's not interesting, it's okay to do this little work", I looked at the messy lobby and said to Rong Ruo: "It's very messy here, let's go to the second floor", said and pulled Rong Ruo up to the second floor into a private room, Qingtong and that person looked at each other and followed, Xiaolan brought tea, I took it and poured a cup for Rong Ruo and asked with a smile: "It's so cold, why are you here?" Is there something going on? Rong Ruo frowned and replied: "I'm just coming over to take a look, and by the way, I'll bring you someone" Rong Ruo pointed to the person who came with him and said: "Qingqiu, let me introduce you, this is Zhao Shirong's shopkeeper, it turned out to be in charge of the pile, and now I'll ask him to come over to help you, do you think it's okay?" I thought to myself, you have brought all the people, and you still ask what is okay, if it doesn't work, you have to do it! Besides, I'm a novice on the road and I really need the help of someone who knows how to do it, so I quickly nodded and said, "Of course!" I'm worried about a lot of things and I don't know what to do! It's really good", I turned around and said to Zhao Shirong: "Welcome to join, Mr. Zhao, my name is Leng Qingqiu" Zhao Shirong bent down slightly and said: "Leng Gongzi is good, I will be instructed by Gongzi in the future", I thought to myself that this person is quite good at talking, this Mr. Zhao is about thirty years old, and he is polite and polite like a scholar who is not doing business, I asked Xiaolan to take him down to familiarize himself with the work, Qingtong also went down to help, only me and Rong Ruo were left in the room, Rong Ruo took a sip of tea and said:" In the future, you can tell Mr. Zhao to do anything", I said: "Got it, thank you, Rong Ruo", I know that Rong Ruo was worried about me so I brought someone to help me, I took this love, Rong Ruo only had a smile on his face at this time He put down the teacup and said slowly: "Qingqiu, no matter what happens in the future, you just need to remember that I will always be by your side, you know?" I nodded.
Rong Ruo sat for a while and left, after sending Rong Ruo away, Jordan also came back, let him do all the things he did, the tableware can be taken for three days, the tables and chairs will take five days, and the rest has been done and brought back, I asked him to go to the backyard to rest, Zhao Shirong is definitely brought by Rong Ruo, and he must be relied on, I arranged the rest for him and Xiaolan went home.
In this way, I was so dim and evil for several days, and finally received results, Jordan and Zhao Shirong are really good helpers to save me a lot of worry, Jin Fu is really at ease with me, I haven't been here once, but I asked Jordan to find the pepper and pepper he sent to send, I looked for the whole city of Beijing and didn't find it, and I don't know where he found it, but the thing is really good, everything has been in place I am ready for the official opening of the eighteenth day of the first month, today is fifteen, I came to the store, In addition to the chef, I sent them out, including Jordan and Zhao Shirong, to go out and distribute flyers, Liu Jun, this kid is really good, there are tens of thousands of flyers copied to me in the past few days, I have to send them out! Today's fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the most lively, Xiaolan and I will go out for a while, before I go out, I saw Jin Fu with someone coming, as soon as he entered the store, he froze, curious to look east and west, the hall has been according to my idea of self-service hot pot, special hot pot table and multi-grid pot, as well as the shelves for placing dishes have been placed, I took him upstairs to see, only to hear him say: "Qingqiu, you are really good!" It's not in vain that I've been grounded for a few days", I wondered: "Grounded? What feet are forbidden? He hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Qingqiu, how did you come up with the idea of doing this?" I thought to myself where I thought of this, I just copied our hot pot restaurant business model and copied it, but said: "It's nothing, people in our hometown eat like this", after coming down from the upstairs, I asked him to lend me the people around me to send flyers, he readily agreed, after all, the boss behind this restaurant is still him! I told him that he must come that day, but he said inappropriately, as much as he could, but not necessarily come, alas! The boss of the other family is completely the shopkeeper and acts according to the contract!
After sending off Jinfu, I asked Jotun to stop their hands, it is now about three o'clock in the afternoon, because today is the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month, except for Jotun to see the store to stay, everyone else is on holiday to go home for the holiday, a few people who are out of the leaflet, when I go out, I told them that they don't have to come to the store to go home directly after sending out the leaflets, and after they are gone, Xiaolan and I also went home, I heard that there is a lantern festival tonight, I am going to go back to eat early to look on the street.
As soon as I got home, Bihe threw herself into my arms and choked up, "Sister", I hugged her and smiled: "Little girl, what are you crying about?" Bihe hugged me and felt out of shape and hurriedly let go of my blessing and said: "Sister, Bihe has given you a New Year's greeting", I pulled Bihe up and wiped the tears from her face and smiled: "What should I do?" My sister didn't give you the New Year's money! Bihe also smiled and asked me, "Where did my sister go when she was dressed like this?" But my sister looks good in men's clothes", I laughed at her and said: I'll tell you later, you pounced as soon as you entered the door, and you weren't afraid that you were really hugging a man? Bihe heard me say this with a red face and said seriously: "Sister will not admit that Bihe will be wrong what Bihe wears", as I spoke, I took Bihe and Xiaolan into the house, and saw that Rong Ruo was also smiling and asked, "Rong Ruo sent Bihe over?" , Rong Ruo smiled and said, "I thought I would wait for you until dark!" Why did you come back so early? I replied, "Isn't it the Lantern Festival today?" I heard that there is a lantern festival, so I came back early to eat and go to see it! Rong Ruo heard me say this and smiled: "I knew you wanted to go, so I specially waited for you to come back", so Rong Ruo was going to take me there, and he was worried about how to go! The snow hadn't melted a few days ago, it was dark and icy, and I wasn't familiar with the road, so now all the problems have been solved. I said to Rong Ruo: "You sit here for a while, I'll come after I go to change my clothes", Xiaolan and Bihe also came out with me, I asked Xiaolan to change her clothes, and told Aunt Xiao to cook dinner now, Bihe followed me back to my house, the little girl hasn't seen her for a while, she has grown taller, and she has become more and more peugeot, and she is a little beauty! She waited for me to change back into women's clothes and twisted my braids into a homely bun, and I told her about the success of the store, looking at the little girl's adoring eyes as if I was Superman.
Back to the front yard living room, Aunt Xiao's rice has been prepared, a few side dishes plus a bowl of rice balls, this rice ball is brought by Rong Ruo, soft and glutinous several flavors, very delicious, I let Qingtong Bihe they also eat, after the meal it was almost dark, Bihe rushed a day's road, Xiaolan was also busy for a day I let them rest at home, (in fact, Rong Ruo's carriage can't sit so many people, I can't take one to leave one, fortunately let them all stay!) So he went out with Rong Ruo, sitting in the carriage and thinking about the Lantern Festival in the novel, the story of the talented and beautiful woman is really a little impatient!
Today the day is fine, but at night it is still a little cold, and the snow has not melted before, the road is not very easy to walk, so the carriage is not fast, there are firecrackers everywhere, I opened the window and lifted the curtain to look out, the shops on the street are hanging lanterns, I am also busy ignoring why not hang lanterns outside the store? I felt a little cold, I closed the window, looked at Rong Ruo, he sat with his eyes slightly closed and didn't know what he was thinking, but I really regretted wearing women's clothes, not afraid of 10,000, just in case! What if I meet someone in the store, I'm not afraid to let them know I'm a woman, but what can I say? After thinking about where it would be so coincidental, it was really a mediocre self-disturbance, so I thought about it all the way to the Lantern Festival, until Rong Ruo called me: "Qingqiu, Qingqiu", I came back to my senses and asked: "What's wrong Rong Ruo?" Is it there? Rong Ruo smiled: "What do you want?" You didn't hear it", I helped Rong Ruo get out of the car and replied: "I wonder if I will meet Mr. Zhao and them", Rong Ruoleng smiled and said: "What's wrong?" I'm afraid that people will know that you are a girl", seeing that I didn't speak, I said: "Don't think so much, let's go!"
Although it is night, but there are quite a lot of people, the lanterns will be lit everywhere, there used to be electric lights and do nothing, day and night do the same thing, but here is a deep experience, what is called "residual lights like beans" used to watch TV at night A few candles are so bright are fake, to be as bright as day, there must be a room of candles! But now the street is full of lights, and the wall of lights is really bright as day, I have been shaken, the lanterns on both sides are small vendors, in addition to selling lanterns, there are also selling food, using, playing, wearing, lanterns have cloth, paper and glass, there are painted flowers, birds, fish and insects, there are landscapes, as well as beauty palace lights, zodiac lights, all kinds, I am dazzled to see. Most of the people walking in the lantern festival are carrying lamps in their hands, I and Rong Ruo walked side by side on the street that the return rate is really high, most of them are looking at Rong Ruo and then cast a jealous eye on me, if the eyes are a sword, I am afraid that I have been pierced by ten thousand swords, but Rong Ruo no longer cares about the eyes of others, carefully protect me, for fear that whose lantern will accidentally hit me, I looked at Rong Ruo and thought, being cared for by such a handsome guy, I am quite happy!
