The best farmhouse

Chapter 130 Decorating the Pavement
Zhao Canniang looked at Zhao Qingfeng in surprise, and asked, "Why does brother want to be literate?"

After all, for so long, Zhao Qingfeng didn't say that he wanted to read and write. It would be false to say that Zhao Canniang was not surprised.

Zhao Qingfeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Because I find it inconvenient to do business without literacy."

It's not that Zhao Canniang didn't want to agree immediately, but she didn't know many characters. After all, many traditional characters look very different from modern simplified characters.

"But brother, I don't know all the characters. Otherwise, I'll teach you all the characters I know. What do you think?"

Hearing what Zhao Canniang said, Zhao Qingfeng smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'll start learning from you in two days. Sister, I think we still need to rent a house. You see, living in an inn every day for a month is too expensive."

Before the shop was confirmed, Zhao Qingfeng did not dare to make such a request. Now that the shop has been confirmed, Zhao Qingfeng thought that he needed to settle down.

This Zhao Canniang naturally agrees, living in the post house is a bit uncomfortable, and the people in the post house are more complicated, Zhao Canniang thinks it is better to have her own nest, even if it is a rented house!
"I don't have any comments. I'll leave the matter of the elder brother's house to you. I'll go and see the materials I need tomorrow."

In the evening, Chen Zhongqiu came back with a dusty face, a little tired.

As soon as he found Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng, he said: "I may have to leave Yucheng tomorrow. There is a little problem with the business in another place. I need to go there. If you two encounter any problems here, go to Find shopkeeper Zhu, he will do his best to help you."

Neither Zhao Canniang nor Zhao Qingfeng expected Chen Zhongqiu to leave in such a hurry.

"Then you have to be careful along the way." Zhao Canniang couldn't help exhorting.

When Chen Zhongqiu saw Zhao Canniang taking the initiative to care about him, a smile filled his face.

"I know, you take care of yourselves, and this is Yucheng, where people and snakes are mixed together, so bear with it as much as you can, and don't be impulsive." Chen Zhongqiu couldn't help telling, the so-called harmony makes money.

Zhao Qingfeng on the side nodded, expressing that he had remembered: "We know, you don't have to worry, nothing will happen to us."

Chen Zhongqiu smiled: "I won't wake you up tomorrow morning, and you don't have to get up to see me off. This time I go, I may go back to Baiyun County directly. After all, most of our family's business is there. These places are still there. It’s not the main development area of ​​our family. By the way, are you interested in the restaurant I saw in that town last time? If you are interested, I’ll help you sell it this time when I go back. When the time comes, you can find someone to manage it yourself. If you need it A reliable shopkeeper, I can also help you find one."

Chen Zhongqiu thinks that place is really good, but their family does all kinds of business, but they don't do restaurant business.

Zhao Qingfeng was surprised for a while, and looked at Zhao Canniang, only to see Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "No, we still won't take over that restaurant, and my brother is too busy now, let's talk about it when I can free up in the future! Thank you Mr. Chen for thinking about it! gone."

Since both Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng said no, Chen Zhongqiu didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Well, since both of you have said so, I won't force you. You can use the shop here at ease. As for the rent and so on , My father said when you are struggling to make a fortune, when will you have it, and when will you give it."

Hearing these words, not to mention Zhao Qingfeng, even Zhao Canniang felt a little moved when they heard this. This father-in-law is really kind.

Zhao Qingfeng was not polite either, knowing that all of this was the kindness of Master Chen, and that they will still be a family in the future, so being polite now is a bit fake.

"Thank you for this incident." Zhao Qingfeng thanked you sincerely.

Chen Zhongqiu stretched out his hand very freely, and patted Zhao Qingfeng's shoulder: "Don't be so polite, we will be a family in the future, and I will still be your brother-in-law in the future. You will really be alienated if you say this."

Day two.

Zhao Canniang woke up early again, and Chen Zhongqiu lived in the next room, hearing Chen Zhongqiu packing up, Zhao Canniang didn't get up either.

I didn't know what to say when I got up, it's better not to get up, actually Zhao Canniang has a lot of affection for Chen Zhongqiu.

Chen Zhongqiu was kind and sensible. He didn't have the stubborn temper of those young masters, but he was very kind and amiable. In short, he was good at everything.

Hearing the door opening and closing, followed by the sound of footsteps going downstairs, Zhao Canniang let out a sigh of relief, Chen Zhongqiu must have left!

After Zhao Qingfeng had breakfast, he left with Zhao Canniang. Zhao Canniang also had a key, in order to transport the purchased materials to the shop.

Zhao Canniang, the restaurant here, studied it carefully, and didn't pay special attention to decoration.

Apart from the Tianxiang Restaurant here, and the Lin's Restaurant which is as famous as Tianxiang Restaurant, except for the better decoration of these two restaurants, there is really no way to see the others.

Zhao Canniang just wanted Yucheng people to feel that her restaurant was different and unique at first glance, so Zhao Canniang put a lot of effort into the decoration.I don't know how many brain cells died at once.

After a busy morning, Zhao Canniang bought back the wood she needed, and the carpenter also found two.

Then the lime and floor tiles used in the afternoon.

In the old spice shop, many of the floor tiles used on the floor have been broken. In Zhao Canniang's eyes, repairing and repairing is obviously not enough, so the floor tiles must be replaced. It doesn't matter if it costs money, the key is that the shop will look good when the time comes.

That day, Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng didn't notice that there was a small yard just behind the shop. The yard wasn't very big, but it could be used as a kitchen.

The wood that cannot be used temporarily is put behind.

After being busy all day, Zhao Canniang didn't see Zhao Qingfeng walking back with a tired face until night.

Seeing Zhao Qingfeng's exhausted look, Zhao Canniang knew that today's affairs should not be very smooth.

Is it so difficult to find a house in Yucheng?

Zhao Canniang couldn't help but think curiously.

When Zhao Qingfeng saw Zhao Canniang, he sat down on the floor tiles, "Hey! It's really hard to find a suitable place to live in Yucheng."

Zhao Qingfeng said these words the first time he opened his mouth, and Zhao Canniang had already thought of them.

Smiling slightly, Zhao Canniang sat next to Zhao Qingfeng and said, "What's wrong? Could it be that finding a house is not going well today?"

Zhao Qingfeng nodded and said: "It's not just that it's not going well, it's really unlucky. I asked a lot of kids today to ask, but there are no houses nearby to rent, and the only ones that are far away are the ones you know. It’s too far away for us and it’s inconvenient for us. I finally found a place closer to here. When I went to see the house, I found that the price of the house was ridiculously expensive. But I couldn’t find one all day long. Suitable place."

Thinking of this matter, Zhao Qingfeng felt a little aggrieved, who knew he was so anxious about finding a house.

Zhao Canniang also sighed, and said: "Brother, don't worry, looking for a house is not something that can be rushed in a day or two, we just look for it slowly, we must find someone we like, otherwise we will feel uncomfortable living in it.

Zhao Qingfeng listened and nodded: "That's what I mean too, hey! I don't think I should be in a hurry, this matter can't be rushed either. By the way, guess who I saw on the street today!" Zhao Qingfeng said here , with a sly smile.

Zhao Canniang looked at Zhao Qingfeng suspiciously and asked, "In Yucheng, we really don't know many people. If it's not Mr. Ke, it's Qin Mengjiao's family."

Zhao Qingfeng looked at Zhao Canniang helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Don't be so smart every time, okay? I don't have any sense of accomplishment. It's really meaningless if you guess it all at once."

Hearing what Zhao Qingfeng said, Zhao Canniang had the urge to smile bitterly.

"Brother, we don't know many people! By the way, I bought all the materials I need, and I can start the decoration tomorrow."

Zhao Canniang suddenly thought of a strategy in her head, which made her more attractive.

"Brother, do you think this is okay? In order to increase the sense of mystery, we will buy black cloth tomorrow to cover the windows and close the door. We will close the door and decorate inside. Do you think this is okay!"

Zhao Qingfeng understood what Zhao Canniang meant, but he was a little curious: "Why does my sister want to do this? Isn't it too dark to decorate with the door closed?"

Since Zhao Canniang said so, she naturally thought of a good solution.

"Brother, we can open the back door! The back yard will also be used for carpentry at that time." Zhao Canniang opened the back door of the backyard as she spoke. It will really cover the windows completely, and only half of the bottom will be covered, so that people outside can't see the inside.

All the decoration matters are left to Zhao Canniang, and Zhao Qingfeng will not intervene too much.

"It's fine for you to decide on this matter, and I won't have any opinions." Zhao Qingfeng simply ignored this matter, so as not to affect Zhao Canniang's performance in time.

Hearing this, Zhao Canniang smiled mischievously: "Well, this matter will follow my plan. By the way, who did you meet on the street?"

Zhao Channiang likes to finish talking about important things, and only talk about unimportant things last.

Zhao Qingfeng looked at Zhao Canniang and then said: "I saw Mr. Ke on the street, but I saw him riding a horse, and he probably didn't see me either. Do you think we need to send a message to Mr. Ke? Tell him we have arrived at Yucheng?"

Zhao Qingfeng felt that if he told Ke Tianlin what troubles he would encounter at that time, he would be able to bother him. If he sent a post, if Ke Tianlin knew that they had arrived in Yucheng but did not inform him, he would inevitably be angry.

Of course, these are Zhao Qingfeng's own ideas.

Zhao Canniang thought for a while, and still thought it would be better to tell Ke Tianlin.

"Brother, you can post a post tomorrow!" Zhao Canniang also thought of Zhao Qingfeng's concerns. They are not familiar with Yucheng. If they really encounter any troubles, maybe Ke Tianlin can really help. .

"Okay, I'll hand over the post tomorrow."

After Zhao Qingfeng finished speaking seriously, he looked around the shop.

"I never dreamed that I would be able to come to Yucheng, nor would I have such a day. Tomorrow, I will write a letter to inform the brothers of the Chen family to come. By the way, do you still need a mistress here?"

This store is half the size of the one in Baiyun County, and this is Yucheng. Zhao Qingfeng believes that the business here will be better, so he is naturally worried that he will be too busy at that time. Certainly not much help.

The answer to this question is yes.Zhao Canniang replied without thinking, "Of course I'm looking for Xiao Er, and you'll only be able to come to the store when the time comes. As for how many to find, I'll take three for now! I'll take a look when I'm looking for someone. "

Zhao Canniang wanted to see for herself.

The next day, all the invited workers arrived at the door of the store early, because Zhao Canniang paid cash for building materials at the market, and Zhao Canniang didn't have an adult with her.

These people saw that Zhao Canniang was a person who could make decisions on their own, and they didn't underestimate Zhao Canniang, so they came here early and waited.

Zhao Qingfeng was busy looking for a house again, so he got busy early.

Zhao Canniang here opened the door of the shop, and after all the craftsmen had entered the shop, Zhao Canniang closed the door.

These craftsmen all looked at Zhao Canniang in puzzlement.Some didn't understand what Zhao Channiang's actions meant.

Zhao Canniang invited a total of four people, two were in charge of laying floor tiles, and two were in charge of carpenters.

"You don't have to be curious and worried. I do this only to give you a fresh feeling, so I will trouble you during this time. I will take care of everyone's meals at noon, and the wages are paid every day. This is for you guys. Don't worry."

After Zhao Canniang explained one by one, the four of them were very happy.

The floor tiles and building materials are all bought. The floor tiles in the house have to be knocked out and replaced with new ones. As for the knocked-out floor tiles, Zhao Canniang does not waste them. The back yard used to be a mud floor, and these replaced floor tiles are just right for the time. put on.

Zhao Canniang is a very budget-conscious person.

It was only in the afternoon that Zhao Qingfeng came to the shop, but this time, Zhao Qingfeng had a smile on his face.

"What's the matter, did you find the house?" Zhao Qingfeng pulled Zhao Canniang aside.

Zhao Qingfeng nodded, with an obvious smile on his face: "I found it. By the way, I also passed the post to Mr. Ke. Mr. Ke actually said that he wanted to come and see our shop."

Zhao Qingfeng didn't expect to get a response as soon as he handed the post to Ke Tianlin.

"Did he say when he will come?" Zhao Canniang asked.

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head: "I didn't say that, I think we will come here when our shop is renovated!"

Zhao Qingfeng's guess was right.

"Brother, where is the house you are looking for?"

Zhao Canniang really didn't want to live in a post house, but wanted to live in her own house sooner.Even if it is rented.
