big sister headed home

Chapter 64

"Uncle, Auntie, why do you look like this?" Don't you believe what I said?" Dou Hua said.

Sure enough, Dou Sishan and his wife both looked unbelievable'

Mrs. Li said directly, "You girl, are you talking something crazy? How can you have the money to buy a shop in the county town? The shops in the county town are cheap, and you can't buy them without 80 taels of silver."

"Auntie, you're right, it does cost so much money." My shop cost [-] taels to buy, but the shop is big. There is a yard behind it, so people can live in it.

"So you're saying 'Hua'er girl, you really bought a shop?" Dou Sishan hesitated.

Dou Hua laughed, "Of course it's true, otherwise why would I come to you?" Am I kidding you, this shop is really bought."

"Why have you never heard of such a big matter? Why did your family suddenly have so much money?" Mrs. Li asked puzzled.

"Didn't Qing'er and I go up the mountain a few days ago? The shopkeeper of Baohetang entrusted us to dig for medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs he wanted were really hard to find. It took the boss two days of hard work to find them. There are only a few of each kind, and I didn’t expect these herbs to be so valuable. I got 200 taels of silver, so I thought about finding a shop in the county town. Whether it’s for my own use or renting out, it’s a long-term business. It's better, and the younger ones are more secure." Dou Hua told the story of selling medicinal herbs.

Then he said, "Although my family got money, I dare not say anything about it, for fear of being remembered by others. Now that the shop has been bought and all the money has been spent, I am not afraid of being remembered."

"Oh, that's how it is. You were injured that day digging that herb. Fortunately, nothing major happened. If you regret it, you can earn money at any time. If your life is gone, it's really gone. " Dou Sishan recalled the matter of Dou Hua's injury when he went up the mountain before, and he still had lingering fears, and couldn't help but speak again to teach him a lesson.

On the other hand, Mrs. Li opened her mouth wide in surprise, "My God, what kind of herb is so valuable? Could it be a fairy grass? I just said that girl Hua'er is a lucky one, and no one else can dig up such a good herb when she goes up the mountain." Medicinal herbs, you have such good luck just going up the mountain, and you must be the third brother and third sister-in-law who are blessing you in the sky when you dig such a valuable herb."

Dou Huaxin said that she is indeed very lucky. Having such an extraordinary ability is also the greatest benefit after time travel. With this ability alone, she can also ensure that her younger siblings have no worries about food and clothing. If she can master her own skills, she will be able to live a good life even if she leaves herself in the future. Only in this way, Dou Hua can rest assured that the younger brothers and sisters below can be self-reliant.

"Uncle, Auntie, just now I asked you if you would like to open a noodle restaurant with me, but you haven't answered yet, are you willing to help me?" Dou Hua changed the topic to the beginning.

"You really want to open a noodle shop, but have you thought about what kind of noodle shop to open? There are eight noodle shops in the county. This business is not a joke. The noodles you make can be sold , otherwise it will be a loss." Li worried, they make noodles at home are ordinary food, not so particular, can this ordinary noodles sell money?Who knows how to make a bowl of noodles, Li Shi doesn't quite believe it.

"Don't worry, I've thought about it a long time ago. If it's hot today, we'll sell cold noodles. The cold noodles are cooked in oil in advance, and then we make some marinated side dishes, sprinkle with thin cucumber shreds, and pour our special braised noodles on it." It must be delicious, as long as it is delicious, no one will buy it." Dou Hua believed that she had eaten many flavors of cold noodles, and combined with the current conditions, she could make several kinds. The catering industry , as long as it is delicious and has its own characteristics, coupled with continuous innovation, there is no need to worry about no customers coming to the door. People of all ages have a preference for food, and people are willing to eat delicious things.

Dou Sishan thought for a while, "Hua'er, as long as you want to do it, we will help you do it together."

Dou Hua said happily when she heard that, "So, uncle, you have agreed to be a partner."

Dou Sishan nodded, "I'm not worried about you small noodle restaurants. The county town is no better than the village. There are more powerful people there, and there are more rascals. It's not so easy to get along with."

"Well, uncle, tomorrow I will take Qing'er and the others to the county town to look at the shop. You can go with my aunt and see how the shop I bought is going." Dou Hua said.

"Okay, let's go and see what kind of shop it is." Li said happily.

"Then let's make an agreement, we will go together tomorrow morning." Dou Hua and Dou Sishan and his wife agreed, turned around and went back to their home.

The next morning, the door was locked, and Dou Hua's siblings and Dou Sishan and his wife went to the county town together. The donkey cart of Dou Hua's family was not big, so it was just right to be a few of them. Dou Sishan and his wife couldn't sit down, but It was a market day, and there were a lot of people going into the city, and they could take a ride for two copper coins.

Dou Hua's siblings and Dou Sishan and his wife arrived at the county town one after the other. After getting together, they went to the shop that Dou Hua bought. But it's okay.

Dou Hua took the key to unlock the big lock on the shop door, and led a group of people into the shop.

"Hua'er, this is the shop you bought. Hey, it's so spacious. There can be seven or eight tables in the dining hall alone. If it's full, it can accommodate 40 to [-] people. Well, it's not bad~" Mrs. Li sighed while sitting and looking to the right.

"The location of the shop is not bad. I remember eating noodles here before, but I didn't expect this shop to be closed. It can be seen that the food business is not so easy to do." Dou Sishan said.

A few small ones also looked left and right in the shop, looking curious and proud, this is my shop.

A group of people went to the back yard to have a look. The small yard was not very big, but there was a well inside. It was much more convenient to drink water without having to carry water. There were three main rooms with two small side rooms, and one side room was a utility room. The other room is a small kitchen for things.

The original owner was a relatively clean house. Except for some dust, the house was quite clean. There was not so much oil stains. It can be seen that it was wiped frequently.

Looking at it all the way, Dou Sishan and his wife couldn't stop nodding, thinking that this shop is really good, much better than their own house. In their eyes, it is very good for an ordinary person who grows crops to own such a shop. up.

Although there is envy in the eyes of the two, there is no greed. This is why Dou Hua is willing to recruit them into the group. They are sincere and have no greed. It is easier to get along like this, and there is no need to worry about any disputes.

"Hua'er, when do you plan to open? We should prepare in advance. I think some of the tables and chairs are worn out. It is best to repair them or replace them with new ones. Also, the walls are dark. It’s best to be able to whiten it, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and all kinds of seasonings must be well prepared, and for flour, we can grind our own wheat into flour.” Li Shi said, already planning the noodle shop in his mind, since there are two Opening a restaurant in partnership, she naturally hopes that the noodle shop will be prosperous, and the more prosperous it is, the more benefits she will get, and the life at home may also be improved, and perhaps it will allow a few younger ones to study for a few more years.

"What my aunt said is that I also want to reorganize the shop. I also want to change the color of the tables, chairs and benches. The walls must be painted. Even the layout needs to be changed. It will take a few days. If you want to do this, my uncle will come to help more." Dou Hua said.

"It's no problem." Dou Sishan said.

"Then I, come and tidy up too." Li Shi said.

"Auntie, there are some things you need to do. You can help me to see which ones grow more vegetables in our village or nearby villages, such as cucumbers, red persimmons, beans, eggplants, etc. We have to collect some. It is cheaper to buy these things in the village, and we have agreed in advance that we will collect them now and bring them into the city, saving some cooking ingredients." Dou Hua said.

"Hua'er is smart. Vegetables in the village are not expensive at the moment. Every family grows some, and the more must be sold in the county town. Not to mention the waste of time, we can't sell a few copper coins. If we want to collect , They will definitely be willing to sell it, and they will go to the county to save it, so I will leave this job to me." Li Shi said.

"That's the reason, auntie, you have to work so hard." Dou Hua said.

"Hey, what's the matter, it's just running errands and chatting, it's very easy." Li Shi said.

After the decision was made, there was nothing left and right, and they started to clean up the shop. They were all here, so naturally they couldn't be idle. No one came in and out of the shop for more than ten days, and there was dust everywhere, so they needed to be cleaned up.They moved all the tables and chairs to the small yard, first cleaned the inside and outside of the shop, wiped what needed to be wiped, and took out the useless rags, the whole family worked together, and the work was done quickly, and the shop was cleaned up in one day The rest is just painting and decorating.

It's just a noodle restaurant, and Dou Hua didn't think about making it too complicated. The main style is clean and simple, referring to the style of those small noodle restaurants in the college days.

The entire wall was painted white, and a few auspicious calligraphy and paintings were pasted up, and slogans reminding people to save food, all of which she had seen in modern small restaurants.

The tables and chairs are made into a uniform color, and chopstick cages, seasoning bottles, and chili oil cans are placed on each table to facilitate people's various tastes.

The whole decoration took seven or eight days, but the original shop looked brand new again, the shop signboard at the door had been replaced, and there were four big characters of Dou Ji Noodle Shop written on it, and all kinds of ingredients and raw materials had been sold. Ready, just waiting for tomorrow to open for business.
