Spring is coming

"These people should all be doing manual labor nearby, right?"

As if to verify her conjecture, the boss exchanged a few words with the man who paid the bill. It could be heard from his conversation that he was a long-term employee hired by Mr. Li on this street.

The shop is basically full of these people, with the married ones coming less often. The unmarried men can't cook by themselves, so they often come to nearby cheap restaurants for a meal.

This store specializes in the business of these people. The dishes are large, especially the signature braised pork and stewed potatoes, which are both filling meals. It follows the route of small profits but quick turnover.

Mo Jingchun looked at the familiarity between the diners and the shopkeeper in the store, and began to worry.

In the next two days, besides setting up stalls with Mo He, she tried all the remaining three stores and officially decided on the style of her own store.

Three days later.

The workers hired by shopkeeper Zheng opened up the wall between the kitchen and the utility room. Mo Jingchun and Mo He dragged the little Lu Bin to clean the entire shop.

Another three days.

A new iron pot and a bunch of pots and pans arrived. They were made by Mo Jinyuan. The other party only charged her a few dozen yuan for materials and refused to ask for more.She conveniently gave Mo Jinyuan some old iron kitchen utensils that she had planned to throw away in the kitchen.

When she carried those things and found Mo Jinyuan's house, only Mo Yu was there. The other person looked at her strangely, but she ignored it.

She hurried back because the square table and round table made by the carpenter were also delivered.

The square table she wanted had almost no other treatment except for polishing the corners into arc shapes. There was no particularly complicated carving in order to preserve the simple and simple texture of the wood, and it was only painted with a layer of varnish.

The round table is painted with brown-red paint, giving it a more festive feel. After all, when there are many people, it is most likely a banquet.

There are also two types of stools.Square tables are paired with short square stools, and round tables are paired with round stools.

I asked the shopkeeper next door to help me transport the tables and stools from the second floor. The female shopkeeper also gave her a small bag of candied fruits for her to eat and play with. Mo Jingchun was very embarrassed and decided to invite the couple to have a meal when the business opened. meal.

After arranging the upper and lower floors, the model finally took shape.

Mo Jingchun thought about it and felt that it was not good to be able to see the backyard from the front at a glance, so he dug a hole in the yard and planted a peach tree. After two years, he would be able to eat peaches. .

There are still peach blossoms to see in spring, and then the yard will be covered with pink flowers, and the artistic conception will also be there.

As for the decoration of the store.
Mo He looked at her bringing in a lot of sticky mud, and he wanted to pull her to wash her hands with some disgust: "Oh Chun'er, you are such a big person, why do you still like to play with mud as much as Bin'er?"

"Sister-in-law, this is clay. I got it with great difficulty. You and I will make it together. I plan to make a few short pots and tall vases, then bake them, put flowers in them, and put them on each table. .”

"Does this look good?" Mo He looked suspicious.

"It looks good." She was very sure, because she saw that Mr. Huaibi's thatched cottage was decorated like this.

It's completely natural, and the mountains and forests are wild and interesting.

She does not intend to be like several other restaurants that target people nearby who work hard for a living.

Not only is it tiring, but I can’t make much money.After all, everyone is familiar with eating in several previous restaurants, and few of these people are willing to try and make mistakes. Ten or twenty coins may be their daily meal money, and they are not willing to part with it.

In addition, people who drink more than eat are not suitable for her.

It was easy for drunkards to get into fights when they got together, and some of the tables, chairs, dishes, and dishes in the store would often be broken. Especially since it was easy to find someone to pay compensation, and it was easy to get into lawsuits. She couldn't afford this business.

She is targeting people like Mr. Yin, who have some wealth at home and have certain requirements for food.Moreover, she was just starting out, so she couldn't fill the menu with dozens of items, and the kitchen was so lavish.

She plans to make a food menu based on the Qizheng and change it to a new one every quarter.

This idea was greatly praised by Bo Qingshan, who even praised her talent for doing business.

He also suggested a new idea to her: In the first ten days of each season, add the "seasonal" dishes of the season, which can be peach blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, osmanthus flowers in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter.
As soon as his words came out, Mo Jingchun was inspired. From these four things, an endless food list appeared in her mind: peach blossoms can be used to make peach blossom wine and peach blossom cakes, and the lotus leaves can be used to steam chicken, Lotus leaf rice, lotus root and lotus seeds are also good things.
She immediately felt that Bo Qingshan was a rare "eating friend" and invited him: "Brother Bo, I plan to open on February [-]nd. There are only a few days left. Can you help me taste the dishes?"

"Okay, then you have to come pick me up. I don't know the way."

"The day after tomorrow. My sister-in-law and I are going to set up a stall tomorrow. I should go too. By the way, I can tell the diners the opening date in advance."

"Then I'll go look for you at the stall in advance?"

"Ok!"

"Miss Jingchun, I want it too, I want it too!"

Hang Sheng immediately expressed his obligation to receive this "honor".

The next day was the last day to set up a stall on this street.

Previously, Mo Jingchun had mentioned the location of his foot shop to many diners who often came to buy braised pork, and told everyone that if they still wanted to buy braised pork, they should go to West Street and they would be there.

Today I am officially telling everyone that I will not be coming starting tomorrow.

Closed for three days to concentrate on tasting dishes.

Moreover, she also invited Mr. Yin and another couple who are also regular customers to try the dishes tomorrow night.

Although it is difficult to reconcile the opinions of others, he can still give her more suggestions.

What she didn't expect was that Guo Bi came with Bo Qingshan the next day, and the two of them found her shop early in the afternoon, but there was no sign of Hang Sheng who had been clamoring to come the day before.

She said hello and asked casually: "Where is Hang Sheng? Why don't you see others?"

"There is a visitor from afar. I went to pick him up. Before I left, I asked you to leave some food and wine for him."

Bo Qingshan didn't say who he picked up.

Guo Bi looked at the environment in the store, consciously picked a table next to the wall and sat down, stroking his beard and said: "The view is the best here, haha!"

"Old sir, what's the scenery here?"

Mo He was puzzled. Seeing the old gentleman's extraordinary conversation and temperament, she was a little timid and curious about where he came from.

"Hahaha girl, come here and take a look."

Mo He, who was called a big girl and had given birth to two children, blushed: "No, no, Mr. Bu, I am Chun'er's sister-in-law."

"It doesn't matter, I think you are about the same age as my little daughter." Guo Bi pointed out to her, "Look, from here, you are facing the peach tree in the courtyard, and there is a sun and moon well next to the tree. What is this if it’s not scenery?”

"Ah," Mo He laughed, "I work carrying water all day long. I didn't expect that the well could become a scenery in other people's eyes."
