After two days of hurrying, I finally polished all the tables and stools, painted them, and asked a few carpenters to build a shed against the eaves.

After the tables and stools were set, the family stood at the door of the shop, looking at the brand-new tables and stools in the store, and the white walls, which were bright and tidy.

Wu Shufen took her daughter-in-law to buy pots and pans and put them up, and waited for the nineteenth to open.

In the afternoon, Lin Lan was busy in the pastry shop, and Xu Dong sent Lin Chang a business license for a restaurant and a business license for a leather shoe shop.

"Xiang Yang has been gone for eight or nine days, right?"

Lin Lan looked at the permit that had just been completed, and smiled gratefully: "Today is exactly nine days, and the goods purchased this time are a bit much, and I should be back in two days." ”

Xu Dong nodded: "I'll go back first." Xiang Yang came back, and he shouted when he moved! ”

"Okay." Lin Lan sent him to the side of the street, and just as he wanted to go back to the shop, he saw a few industrial and commercial inspectors wearing red armbands, walking towards the steamed bun point opposite.

Yang Liying snorted at her: "Lin Lan, you see those people are here." ”

Lin Lan smiled: "Don't be afraid, we have all the licenses, and we will check with him." ”

"Hmm!" Yang Liying glanced at her, "I heard Xiaoli say that Xiaodouzi went to study in a small school in the city?" ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Yes!" Brother Xu helped find someone to collect it, and Xiaoyun is going to take the junior high school exam this year. ”

Speaking of her eldest daughter, Yang Liying looked pleased: "I worked very hard during this time, and said that I wanted to study in the No. 1 Middle School in the city." ”

Lin Lan thought for a moment and said, "Third sister, you go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some review materials, and there are exam papers for her to do." ”

Yang Liying was stunned for a moment: "I haven't bought it, does Xinhua Bookstore sell these books?" ”

Lin Lan was also a little uncertain: "There should be!" You go and tell the salesperson that the child is in the fifth grade, and the materials and papers used for the junior high school exam. ”

"Okay." Yang Liying took the waistband, "While there is no one here, I'll take a look and lend me your bicycle." ”

Lin Lan took out the car key from her pocket: "You can just use it." ”

Yang Liying took it, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Lin Lan embarrassedly: "Lin Lan, when Xiangyang comes back, can you ask him to help me buy a bicycle?" ”

From Lexing to here, it will take an hour at the earliest, and it will be much faster with a bicycle.

Lin Lan looked at her with disgust: "One sentence, and I am so polite." ”

"Hey, hey!" Yang Liying looked at her and smiled, "The eldest sister said yesterday that she wanted to ask Xiangyang to help her buy a bicycle and a sewing machine for her marriage." ”

Lin Lan said happily: "Okay, I'll talk to him when Xiangyang comes back." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Yang Liying rode her bicycle away.

Lin Lan saw the inspection team coming out of the steamed bun shop opposite, came straight to this side, turned around and entered the shop.

A few people walked to the door of the pastry shop, stood there and looked, and walked straight into the shop.

The thin middle-aged man in the lead said, "Boss, take a look at the business license." ”

"Okay." Lin Lan stepped on the high stool and took down the business license that was placed on the counter, "Comrade, you see we are all in the store." We also use picture frames to save you from breaking it. ”

After the leader took the look, he looked back at the four people behind him with satisfaction: "Their approach is worthy of praise, and in the future, let other shops that have obtained licenses also put their permits in a conspicuous position in the store." ”

"Got it, Bureau Feng." The few people who followed nodded like pounded garlic.

Lin Lan said in her heart: It turned out to be the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and it looks pretty good.

Director Feng returned the certificate to Lin Lan, and said with a pleasant face: "Boss, the number of employees in the store must be controlled, your shop, plus you have a maximum of three people." Remember to pay the management fee, and if you don't pay it, you will be fined and pay a late fee. ”

Lin Lan was glad that Lin Yuezhen didn't come to raise the fetus at home, took it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Thank you, leader, I will pay the management fee for me and my two cousins in my store." ”

Director Feng took people to the operation room to take a look, and asked Qiaohui and Tong Xinglan a few words before leading people towards Yang Liying's house.

Qiaohui and Tong Xinglan patted their chests: "Cousin, it scared me." ”

"We are doing business properly, what is there to be afraid of." Lin Lan looked at the two of them funny, "Xinglan went out to look at the shop, Qiaohui and I rolled the kidney bean rolls, and we had to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to pay the fee in the afternoon." ”

"Hey!" Tong Xinglan went to the store.

Lin Lan tied her waist and got busy.

The brothers Zhixue and Zhilin set up stalls in two markets, bringing their family's dried tofu together, and the business was not bad.

Yesterday, Yang Lirong also came to Lin Lan to take pastries to sell in the west of the city, and Lin Lan gave her some this morning and asked her to try them first.

Yang Liying walked into the backyard with the car keys: "Lin Lan, what management fee should we pay for the inspection, did I tell you?" ”

Lin Lan nodded: "I said, Dongzi also said in the morning that he should pay it on time and save the fine." ”

"We have our own store, we do everything by ourselves, we buy it ourselves, what does he help us manage? Do you still have to pay a fee? ”

Yang Liying muttered dissatisfiedly, "Dehai asked the person who took the lead, he said that my shop has to pay fifteen yuan a month, and what taxes do I have to pay?" ”

"If it's not much, just hand it over, if it's too high, let's find a way to find someone to intercede."

The Dongzi of Lin Lan's family has already made it for her, and the tax plus the management fee is thirty-five yuan a month, although it is not much, but it has caught up with the salary of ordinary workers in January.

Yang Liying breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Okay, when the time comes, I still have to trouble you to talk to Dongzi." ”

Lin Lan smiled: "It's okay, have you bought the information?" ”

Yang Liying nodded: "I bought it, one teaches writing and the other teaches some mathematics, and it cost me more than five yuan." ”

"It's not expensive, Xiaoyun can also use it for Xiaoli." Lin Lan looked at her with a smile and said.

"That's the same, you're busy, I'll go back." Yang Liying left in a hurry.

Lin Lan was busy until before making lunch before rolling the kidney bean rolls.

The business in the store is not busy, Lao Li went fishing again, and Lin Lan only needs to cook the meals of Zhigang and the three of them.

Before the meal was ready, Zhigang carried the basket into the backyard: "Sister-in-law, there are two pig's trotters and two keels left, what do you think of eating?" ”

Just after the New Year, pork is not easy to sell, except for the canteens and restaurants, the retail sale can only sell two.

"I just ate pig's trotters in sour soup yesterday, so let's braise it today!" Lin Lan looked at the keel and thought for a moment, "Keel stewed kelp, what do you think?" ”

Yang Zhigang smiled: "Okay, I'll clean up the pig's trotters, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I'm here to help." ”

Qiao Hui glanced at him and nodded with a smile: "Okay!" In the afternoon, it was just right to help us pound the bean paste. ”

"Alas!" Yang Zhigang lamented, "Every day, you want me to be a coolie." ”

Qiao Hui glanced at him: "Young man, if you don't work after eating, it's hard that you want to raise meat!" ”

Tong Xinglan came in with a baking tray and answered with a smile: "That's it, you're not tall, and you're a little skinny." If you grow fat, think about it, is the big winter melon good-looking? ”
