03 Snack bar in progress

After the matter was finalized, the arrangement of opening a new snack shop was put on the itinerary, and the plan was in full swing. It just so happened that the brewing of several kinds of liquor was in the final wait, and it was no longer possible for the space of the small street to accommodate new food stalls, so Xu Zheng no longer planned to increase the variety of snacks, and put all his energy into the work of the new small shop.

The large and small classes study in the archery class during the day, and at night they still set up a small stall with bowls and chickens to earn money, and there is no extra time to come out. This is also the case with Ingres, and Luki stays with Carlo all day, and the two seem to have received a mission to leave the imperial capital. So the new opening of the snack bar actually fell on Xu Zheng and Xiao Bangjia.

Xu Zheng was unfamiliar with the situation in Xiacheng, so Lucina stepped forward to take down a house next to the field and use it as a snack bar.

Recently, snacks have been selling well, and this kind of food that seems to be selling extremely cheap seems to have a very thin profit, but the actual result is to win by quantity, and it has only been ten days before and after, and it has earned nearly 600 gold coins, and the results achieved are surprisingly good. Lucina was surprised when she counted the gold coins, she didn't expect that the poor and backward downtown still had such consumption potential, and she didn't expect that the income from selling snacks seemed low, but in fact it was not low at all. This kind of income seems to Lucina to be quite exaggerated. You must know that after the death of her husband, before Xu Zheng appeared, the tavern's business was already quite good for more than 3 gold coins a day. As soon as Xu Zheng, the eccentric boy, came out, the money began to earn in an uproar, not to mention the income from snacks, and even the business of the Wilderness Tavern was a lot better, Lucina was happy, so she threw all the money to Xu Zheng and asked him to do what he liked.

The money Xu Zheng earned from the beginning was finally spent on Xu Zheng, Lucina planned to invest all of it in the snack bar, but Xu Zheng only took 400, and the rest of the deficiency was made up by Xiao Bang to make up 600, investing a total of 1000 gold coins. Old Banga knew that his grandson was learning to be a store manager, and he was so happy that his old face smiled like a rotten flower, so he took out the money without hesitation, and couldn't wait to ask if the money was enough, as if he was afraid that the gold coins would not be spent.

In line with the principle of saving if you can save money, Xu Zheng didn't want to invest unplanned, so he estimated it and came up with the number of nearly 1,000.

In the next few days, Xu Zheng and Xiao Bangjia have been busy renovating the old house, and both of them have hollowed out their hearts and minds to strive for the best of their first snack bar. For both of them, this snack bar is operating for the first time, and it seems to be full of enthusiasm.

The layout of the old house is similar to Lucina's wilderness. They are all built on the ground floor and at the bottom of the floor, and are made of a mixture of stone and timber structures. Entering the door is a small living room, Xu Zheng estimated, there is about 200 square meters of size, I can't help but sigh, thin land is sparsely populated, in the case of the previous generation, a family of three with a good family can live in a 40-square-meter suite of housing is already quite good. The house in front of me is more than 200 square meters downstairs, and more than 200 square meters upstairs, which is already nearly 500 square meters, which is really generous.

The structure of the ground floor of the house is very simple, as large as two rectangular structures connected together. There is a gate in the front and back of the large square, the north is the main entrance, and the south door is the same as the field, and there is a small courtyard. The front and back doors and the left and right sides of the large square are open with windows, and the lighting is good. There is a small handrail near the door to the south, and Xu Zheng plans to use it directly and build a counter here in the future. There is a fireplace on the wall in the left corner, and along the fireplace, behind the partition wall is a kitchen, which should have all the infrastructure. Xu Zheng went in to inspect it, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was another floor under the kitchen, with an area of nearly 200 square meters, divided into five rooms, which was actually a complete set of spacious underground storage rooms.

The small square, next to the corner of the fireplace, is one-fifth the size of the larger square, and from here there is a staircase up to the second floor, which is the same size upstairs and downstairs except for the space occupied by the staircase. There are a total of four rooms upstairs, the largest on the left, which should be the master bedroom. Two of the other three rooms are facing it, and the other is sandwiched between them, the smallest of the size, and Xu Zheng intends to use it as a study. Don't think about this layer, Xu Zheng directly occupies it!

Due to the abundant rain in the imperial capital, the house was designed with a spire, so there was a triangular space above the second floor, which could also be used for storage. Xu Zheng climbed up to look in, only to see that there was a window open there, which could be opened to see the small street below. I don't know why, Xu Zheng has a soft spot for this layer, and he has already announced that he wants to dominate this layer before he cleans it. Lucina and Xiao Banga looked at this structure a lot, and they didn't think it was any good, so they just smiled and let Xu Zheng take it.

Going out from the south gate on the ground floor, through the small courtyard, there is also a house, with an area of about 80 square meters, the structure is very simple, it is a boxy room, it seems that it was originally used for storage. Xu Zheng looked inside for a long time, and finally decided to tear down its door and make a bigger door to install it for Lulu to live in.

After the inspection of the whole house, Xu Zheng was overjoyed. Spent 650 gold coins on top of this house, which is totally worth the money. The house was much, much better than he had estimated, and for the first time it felt like he had his own place to live, so I especially liked it.

Because the original household's family was good, it is said that his daughter climbed a high branch, so the family disdained to be with the residents of Xiacheng District anymore, and moved the family to Zhongcheng District, where the house had been empty for nearly two years, and Xu Zheng picked up a bargain.

When Xu Zheng and Xiaobang joined in, they saw that their eyes were full of dust, and they didn't even dare to speak loudly, so as not to be shocked by the smoke and dust. On the walls and ceilings, there are spiders everywhere, like a haunted house, and the two of them look like they are fighting. Looking at this situation, the amount of work required to clean is quite enormous.

The two teenagers made rounds around, and without saying much, they rolled up their sleeves and began to work. Lucina would sometimes come over to help, using her skillful experience as a housewife to show them how to get started and what to do. After a day of work, everyone in Xiacheng District knew that this house would be used to open a snack bar, and the next morning a bunch of children and teenagers came over, both men and women, and they were enthusiastic to work with Xu Zheng and Xiao Bangjia. Of course, Xu Zheng and Xiao Bangjia were overjoyed, so they paid for eating chicken in bowls, iron plate skewers, cold shrimp and telling stories, and led a large group of little helpers to run around the house like a child king, cleaning the whole house like a strong wind. The energy of children and teenagers is endless, and with delicious snacks and beautiful stories to repay, they work harder than Xu Zheng and Xiao Bangjia.

Most of the children in the lower city are not well-off, so almost all of them can do a lot of things at a young age. The girls are ingenious, scrubbing and cleaning, sewing and tidying up, and doing it properly. The boys were industrious and lively, and their hands and feet were nimble, and they took over the manual work of moving, lifting, and throwing. These guys, who are small and small, have soft and flexible bodies, and can even clean the ceiling with ease. Seeing that they are doing their cleaning work like fish in water, sometimes Xu Zheng wonders if these little guys are spiders, crawling all over the walls, very powerful.

As a result, the whole cleaning process was much faster, and by the afternoon of the next day, the old house was cleaned and looked brand new!

After cleaning, it's time to customize the tables, chairs, and stools. Xu Zheng rushed to the timber market to pick out the tables and chairs of his favorite style, asked Uncle Hughes to pull them back with his wildebeest sightseeing car, and mobilized the enthusiastic little helpers again to move them all into the wilderness.

Xu Zheng then began to design ancillary facilities such as bar counters, counters, and wall chairs. After completion, ask the painter to paint all the products, including the wooden wall, with a layer of varnish, requiring the wood grain to be retained, the color is soft and uniform, and it is best to add spices and preservatives to the paint, and add some flame retardant things will be better. When Xu Zheng made the request, he said very lightly, and he said that it was not troublesome or troublesome, but the requirements were not high. A few painters were furrowed and their faces twitched. To be good-looking, but also unified, to have a fragrance, not to have a strange smell of paint, but also anti-corrosion and flame retardant, this is not troublesome, the requirements are not high?

After all this was done, Bonga was anxious to open his doors, moving Taipan and Angell to sell snacks in the new snack bar. Xu Zheng stopped him, smiled and found a big lock, locked the house, only prepared the key for himself, and no one else was allowed to enter. Whenever someone asked the reason, Xu Zheng just laughed and didn't say anything. I asked in a hurry before I said that you really just a few of us were busy after the snack bar opened? Not only do you have to recruit clerks first, but also have to carry out the last step of decoration, what are you anxious about? As for how to decorate, hehehe, I'm sorry, I just don't tell you what I'm going to do, I have to maintain a sense of mystery first.

So for the next two days, all they saw were plasterers, painters, carpenters, blacksmiths, and even painters, and gem-makers, all of whom were drilling, and finally the tailors were there. And when they came out, they all had expressions of surprise and admiration, praising Xu Zheng's strange ideas and ingenious ideas, which really deserved to be called a magical boy. Everyone secretly wanted to get the inside information from the mouths of these people who had been in and out of the house. But these people are as hateful as Xu Zheng, and they all laughed viciously, saying that the young man said that he was not allowed to tell the news outside, and he had to keep it secret, absolutely secret, until the moment he uncovered the mystery, there was endless fun.

Everyone was furious, and they also discovered one of Xu Zheng's bad natures, he seemed to be a pure and good boy, but in fact, he had a lot of bad water in his stomach, and he was also a black-bellied villain.

Just when even Lucina couldn't help but be curious and wanted to be mad at Xu Zheng, this kid happily ran to Lucina and asked if she could draw fireflies.

Lucina was so confused that she replied that she could draw. Xu Zheng squatted in the field and learned from Lucina for nearly two hours before he learned to sketch a vivid firefly with simple brushwork lines. Speaking of which, I have to mention that Xu Zheng's comprehension of painting skills and his feeling for painting are simply a mess! Lucina only taught it for the fourth time, and when Xiao Banga could sketch out the shape of a firefly with a few strokes, Xu Zheng's painting was still only four different things, not to mention that it was a firefly, no one could recognize what it was...... Angel once thought that Xu Zheng was learning to draw turtles, which made everyone laugh and hurt their stomachs.

Xu Zheng was provoked, the cow had a temper attack, and he squatted on the ground and painted countless four dislikes viciously, before he barely learned to draw fireflies. Then he slipped back into the house and never came out again.

A few days passed quickly, and at this time, all the wine in the brew was about to be released, and Xu Zheng's snack bar was about to open.

PS:

As soon as the discussion was passed and the decision was not made, the first snack bar in the imperial capital Zion was called Firefly. Tiny (actually the house is huge...... Embarrassment), very close to the people, with childlike fun, and very warm, the little insect gives a very lively impression, that's it.

The dust has settled...... Silence –

As for the Silent Night Firefly, I'll see if I can find a way to create this scene inside the Firefly Shop.

Someone actually associated the name Silent Night Hotaru with a brothel...... It's embarrassing. I was in the office and laughing so hard that my tooth hurt. I have to be convinced, sometimes the imagination of readers is very interesting and very interesting, and reading your book reviews is simply a supreme pleasure.

Finally, as always, I want tickets and collections~
