Chapter 132 Repairing the Second Floor
On the second day, before dawn, Baozhu was woken up by Zhaodi, "I'm going to make breakfast pancakes today, let's go to the shop before dawn, don't be too late."

Baozhu hurriedly turned over and sat up, glanced outside, saw that the sky was still dark, and the rooster hadn't crowed yet, so she smiled and told her not to worry, "There are some ready-made ingredients in the cellar, let me take them for use today, just wait After a while, I will take it to the shop to make dough and stuffing, and the left and right are in a hurry."

As he said that, he lifted the thin quilt, and the inner layer of the obscene clothes was already a little sticky and wet. It was very hot at night these few days, and he was sweating every morning when he woke up.I got out of bed and fetched a bucket of water from the yard, washed my face, scrubbed my body a little, and then felt refreshed.

Zhaodi sat on the bed blankly and stared at her, and after a while she came back to her senses, and slipped out of bed to fetch water to wash her face.

Liang Dong also just got up, just finished washing, stood in the yard and greeted her with a smile, then turned around and went down to the cellar. The bag of sweet potatoes was picked up from his hand a few steps forward, and he put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Liangdong is thin, I will carry it, I have great strength!"

With a smile on the corner of Liangdong's mouth, he went to pick up another seven or eight radishes and put them in the bag. Turning around, he smiled and told her to be careful when stepping on the ladder.

After putting the bag on the cart, Zhaodi hopped up and down to pick up the washbasin, turned around, and said to Liangdong with a smile: "Brother Liangdong always brings a pair of old shoes, according to the size when he is free. Sew you a new pair!"

Liang Dong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hands after a while, "Don't bother Xiao Zhaodi, my aunt brought a pair of new shoes when I came here, I'll keep them for later."

Chen Cuixi was coming out of the living room, when she heard that Zhaodi was going to sew shoes for her little cousin, she glanced at Zhaodi's face, laughed and joked: "Hey! Our Zhaodi is also a big girl, and I will do it for my aunt anytime. A pair?"

Zhaodi blushed, scratched the back of her head and looked left and right for a while, only to feel her face was burning red, she lowered her head and whispered, "I see Brother Liangdong's shoes are old."

Chen Cuixi shook her head with a smile, "Okay, Auntie knows." She smiled and asked Liang Dong, "You're sixteen this year, right?"

Liangdong hummed, and went to the cowshed. When he turned his head, his eyes flashed, "I'll go to the shop first, and the radishes and sweet potatoes will be cut and ready for Baozhu."

Zhaodi didn't even care to wash her face, she pouted and rushed into the room, took Baozhu's arm bitterly, stamped her feet in shame and anger, "My cousin just made fun of me!"

Baozhu giggled, "I saw it from the window just now."

Zhaodi blinked, jumped onto the kang in shame, got into a ball under the quilt and refused to come out.

Baozhu shook her head with a smile, sat on the bed of the kang and lifted a corner of the quilt, took her hand and put it in his palm, and couldn't help but softly persuade her: "What's so embarrassing? Brother Liangdong died, and my father didn't care about it." Let alone you, even my aunt and I always try to take care of him."

Zhao Di hurriedly showed her head, bit her lips as if hesitating, and then said: "Brother Liangdong is great, last time I secretly learned how to chop vegetables, I didn't want to cut my hand, brother Liangdong ran away It’s a long way, go to the hospital to buy hemostatic medicine for me.”

Baozhu covered her mouth and giggled, "Is there such a thing? No wonder my cousin misses him so much."

Zhaodi got up, sat cross-legged on the kang, and counted on her fingers angrily, "Simply sew it up for brother Jide and brother Datou, as well as my father, so who will laugh at me?"

Baozhu said with a smile: "That's a good thing, Brother Jide and the others have also been honored by Brother Liangdong." After speaking, she ignored her, and went out of the room with a stack of papers smiling.

When they arrived at the shop, they gave Tang Bao the leaflets, smiled and asked him to scatter a small part around them for a while, and then go to the street at noon, and told him that the paper is expensive, if someone just throws it away after a few glances, you might as well pick it up Just keep going.

In the kitchen, Liangdong has already cut the shredded radish, and Baozhu put on her apron and started kneading the dough. This time, she plans to make shredded radish pancakes and sweet potato pancakes to test the waters.

Zhaodi watched her movements carefully, Baozhu wanted to teach her, and told her the steps in detail when making peace, Chen Cuixi was cooking porridge.

After a while, the aroma of the pancakes wafted out from the stove, causing passers-by to stop and watch for a while. When Zhaodi saw this, she went to the gate with a smile and yelled, saying that the fast food restaurant opened early, and the price was discounted in the first few days. Well, it also attracted some strangers.

This is the first day, only about [-] pancakes were made, and there were three or five people in the first group of guests. On the recommendation of Chen Cuixi, they ordered some pancakes and porridge, and after eating, they were full of praise. Chen Cuixi said with a smile whether they still had pancakes tomorrow, and they would sell them every morning from now on, and asked them to go back and tell everyone.

Because the price of their pancakes is affordable, one only sells for a penny, and all forty pancakes have been sold out in one morning, Baozhu sees this as a good omen, and decides to make a little more tomorrow.

In addition to the leaflets that Tang Bao has been distributing regularly outside in the past few days, there will be more regular customers in the morning. The pancakes have been made with more tricks, in addition to pumpkin pancakes and red bean paste pancakes, meat pancakes are also added. Of course, the price is also slightly different.Because these are the dim sums that later generations are good at, with some seasonings that are difficult for others to prepare, she doesn't worry that the other shop will learn it in a short while, and just go to work early every day.

Half a month later, Baozhu raised the price a little bit. After all, the price of a pancake was really cheap. Although it affected some business at the beginning, the reputation of Chen Ji Breakfast has gradually spread these days, and every day Come some new faces, compared to the lost customers, after all, there are very few.In addition, their pancake taste is unique, no matter how difficult it is to find a second one in the county, the business is getting better day by day.

In this way, 20.00% of the daily turnover is newly added income from breakfast, and with the passage of time, the number of customers is gradually increasing every day, which Baozhu and the others did not expect at the beginning.

Under the influence of Koufulou, although the fast food business is not as hot as before, it is gratifying that since the breakfast business is on the right track, the income has remained at the same level as before.

When there are more customers, there will be some problems that cannot be ignored. These days, Baozhu has been very troublesome. Although there is a rule of calling by brand name, the small place has always affected the business. Therefore, repairing the second floor has become a problem. something imminent.

Therefore, one day at the end of August, Baozhu specially closed the shop, planning to use the money earned during this period to properly repair the second floor.

According to her original idea, the second floor was specially used as a private room, but with the accumulation of experience, she gradually rejected the idea of ​​a private room.Chen Ji is different from Kou Fu Lou, it only takes the high-end route. Small fast food restaurants focus on passenger flow. If all of them are replaced with private rooms, judging from the area of ​​the second floor, they can only be wronged by three or four. Rows of tables and chairs must occupy a lot of empty space in the private room, and it is really flashy.

Of course, if you have enough financial resources in the future, the private room is not impossible to consider. Right now, the most affordable table and chair solution is the priority.

The tables and chairs were custom-made at the carpenter's shop. Speaking of which, Brother Datou helped a lot this time. He studied in the carpenter's shop for more than half a year. Because he is honest and willing to work hard, he gradually won the respect of several senior masters. Although he is not smart, he knows how to work hard, come and go, and can also take on some odd jobs.

This time, Baozhu handed over the work to his carpenter's shop. They knew the relationship between Baozhu and Datou. Calculate.Saved a lot of money than expected.

Third Aunt Baozhu meant that although Datou's cousin looked stingy at the front, this time he was considered magnanimous in this matter, presumably because the daughter-in-law in the house was not easy to get along with, so you can get a glimpse of how he treats Datou at the front of the house. This time, I accepted their love, and I simply acted as the host and invited everyone in their shop to come to their shop for a meal.One is to be grateful to the other party, and the other is to talk and do things smoothly in the shop in the future.

Naturally, Baozhu had no objection. On the opening day of the second floor, he invited them to the shop for a meal. He avoided his identity as a partner with Chen Ji, firstly he didn't want to let the people in the house know, and secondly, he had a lot of connections in the county, if people found out, they would have to have some socializing, and Baozhu would be so tired that he would not be at peace.

So I only introduced them, and said that Chen Ji's taste is very suitable for him, and the host invited them to taste it, if they feel good, they will come here often in the future.

After the opening of the second floor, Baozhu must be busy again. After a lot of research and experimentation, the new menu was also re-drawn on the same day. In addition to the original signature dishes of his own shop, he added local dishes according to the tastes of the people. People's favorite fast food menu, the breakfast is also divided into a separate piece. In addition to a few pancakes, some porridge is added, and there are different flavors such as polenta, eight-treasure porridge, and black rice porridge.

After such reforms, the business of the shop has improved again, not to mention the obvious increase in passenger flow, because He Lanjin often brought a few classmates to come, and when they came often, they also brought a group of students from the academy. Remember that the price is affordable, unlike Koufulou where only rich people can afford it. For a while, many students come here in groups every evening.

One day, just after the closing time of the shop, two middle-aged men came in from the door. The one who walked in front was a bit fatter, showing a full mouth of yellow teeth as soon as he entered the door, smiling and wanting to see the boss.

Seeing that they were dressed like wealthy people, Tang Bao asked them why they came, and learned that they were not customers for dinner. He was not sure why the two of them had come here, so he led them to sit on the second floor and served tea. , Let them wait for a while, and hurried to the kitchen to call for the orb.
