Chapter 106 Preparation before opening a store
Chapter 106
The woman chose a comfortable position to lie on the sofa, munching on melon seeds while watching TV. Occasionally, when Xu Lei came out, his eyes would glance at him inadvertently.
Until Xu Lei pushed open the door and walked out, the woman didn't say anything. It seems that she has acquiesced to Xu Lei's living here.
Xu Lei walked on the way to the shop, and couldn't help but laugh a little when he thought of what had happened in the past two days. What a coincidence in the world, yesterday a misunderstanding made people deeply disgusted, and today a small help makes a difference. Scold...... Now there's no need to rush to move out.
When I arrived at the small store, the landlord had already printed the contract: the annual rent was 80,000 yuan, the annual increase would not exceed 15% in a year, and the store would not be repossessed within three years......
Xu Lei took a closer look, the landlord was very sincere, there was no problem, and he signed.
Xu Lei paid a deposit of 30,000 yuan first, and told the landlord that the remaining 50,000 yuan would be paid in two days. The landlord hesitated, and finally nodded and agreed, but the signed contract was not given to Xu Lei, and he asked him to pay all the money and get it again.
When the contract is issued, it doesn't matter if it's two days late; now the main thing is to seize the time to decorate the store and open it early.
Xu Lei plans to take the high-quality route. The decoration is more high-grade, which is different from the civilian restaurants on this street. The customers are located in the princesses and customers in the 'Dynasty International', and they also do some female students and teachers who are not bad for money.
Lunch, dinner and supper are available from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
...............
After eating a bowl of fried noodles for lunch on the street, Xu Lei ran a few small decoration companies non-stop. The small shop of 50 square meters is very simple for them, and the decoration plan is given after listening to Xu Lei's general layout.
Based on the price and decoration effect, Xu Lei chose a small decoration company called 'Xinxin Meijia'. His decoration plan is more natural: several large shelves are bound to the top, covered with turquoise plastic ivy, and some fake flowers and trees are arranged in the corners.
Xu Lei looked at the renderings with a lot of feelings, although he felt that it didn't match the lively atmosphere of the hotel, but who made it cheap......... 11,000 yuan is enough, and it is guaranteed to be completed in three days.
After paying the deposit and giving the address, Xu Lei went to the vicinity of the farmers' market to look at the tables, chairs, stoves, freezers and the like. ran a few, chose some medium-grade ones, and added more than 7,000 yuan together. After paying the money, I counted the old man's head on my body, and added 832 pieces and 5 cents in bits and pieces.
Alas, this money is really not spent. When it opens, you have to buy some rice oil or something, and if you buy vegetables, it is estimated that you will use it almost.
After agreeing with the boss to move in three days, Xu Lei bought some vegetables at the farmers' market and took the car back to Honghua Community.
It was already dark, and it was more than seven o'clock on the phone.
After reaching the sixth floor, he opened the door with a key, and Xu Lei walked into the hall. The TV was still playing, and a star was singing on the screen.
The woman fell asleep on the couch with a couch cushion on her body, and on the table were a few fast food boxes and some open snack bags, and the floor was sprinkled with dropped melon shell peels.
Xu Lei estimated that she was eating fast food and snacks all day... What a casual woman.
Xu Lei shook his head, carried the ingredients he bought into the kitchen, and began to cook dinner.
The kitchenware in the kitchen is quite complete, but it is not very clean and has not been used for a long time, so Xu Lei had to clean all the things in it. It's mostly dusty, not greasy, and I guess they rarely cook in it, and this brand new kitchen is dirty.
Xu Lei used a washed pressure cooker to scoop up some rice he had just bought, and put it on the stove to cook it with natural gas. Then scrape the head of the fish, remove the gills, wash it, and use another stove to start frying...... I also bought a Chinese cabbage, and after the fish head was cooked, I fried a sour and hot Chinese cabbage.
After more than half an hour, the rice was just pressed when the dish was fried.
Turn off the heat and wash the used utensils.
Xu Lei was about to walk to the hall with the dishes, but saw that the woman had woken up. She snuggled lazily in the kitchen door, peering in, sniffing the smell of the food one by one, her little tongue licking her lips.
Seeing Xu Lei turn to look at her, the woman glanced at him, retreated expressionlessly, and sat back on the sofa to watch TV absentmindedly.
Xu Lei smiled secretly in his heart. The woman probably woke up to the temptation of the strong fragrance emanating from this 'specialty', and looked salivating and hungry. After being discovered by Xu Lei, she pretended not to care, but the small eyes that kept looking here fully exposed her thoughts.
Xu Lei was a little funny in his heart, remembering her barbaric and unreasonable appearance yesterday, he wanted to tease her. After bringing out the food, he didn't talk to her and ate it in a big gulp.
When drinking the soup, Xu Lei scooped spoonfuls into his mouth one by one, and muttered softly: "It's so delicious!" The tone was neither light nor heavy, just enough for a woman to hear.
The woman was probably angry, she snorted fiercely in her nose, and turned on the TV very loudly with the remote control, and Xu Lei could vaguely hear her gritting her teeth.
