While preparing to open the business, Wu Zhizhen followed Zhou Zhen to clean up the yard. When the master was working, she started.
She is not the kind of spoiled woman. Seeing that a yard is gradually refreshing under the cleaning of two people, she also has hope for the future.
More importantly, Zhou Zhen's love has given her unparalleled satisfaction. At least at this stage, she is happy.
In addition to Wu Zhizhen, some former colleagues of the coal preparation plant also helped Zhou Zhen a lot.
Cement, sand and wood can be exchanged at a small price as long as they are available in the coal preparation plant.
Several colleagues who borrowed money saw Zhou Zhen doing serious things and didn't urge him to pay back the money, making him barely enough money on hand.
This, of course, is inseparable from the confidence given to them by Zhou Zhen's several food trials.
Master level cooking, you can also be a chef in a five-star hotel, let alone such a small restaurant.
Where have these colleagues tasted such delicious food? Zhou Zhen's restaurant has not opened yet, and his craft has been publicized by everyone.
There are eight houses, two of which are reserved as bedrooms, the kitchen is the third from the bottom and the fourth, and there are two outside as boxes and two as individual guests.
The house is only painted with white ash and installed with light bulbs. It's simple and pitiful.
The kitchen is in the middle. In addition to a gas stove, there is also a coal stove. It is equipped with pipes that can lead to each room. It is a simple heating.
He spent 23000 yuan on household items, leaving less than 3000 yuan. If several colleagues hadn't asked him to pay back, he wouldn't even have money to buy vegetables.
Zhou Zhen arranged her bedroom with Wu Zhizhen in the innermost one, and the next one was ready to be occupied later.
There was a Kang inside and bought a cabinet. The installation was very simple, but Wu Zhizhen was satisfied.
Although the conditions are poor now, there is hope in life.
The yard is temporarily out of use, mainly because Zhou Zhen has no money to buy materials to build a shed.
However, it is still early for the Chinese New Year. If business goes well, we can set up a shed in the yard to receive more guests in the winter.
April 16 was the scheduled opening day. One day in advance, Zhou Zhen specially invited the leaders of the coal washing plant to come and sit down at two tables to try dishes and have a good relationship.
Zhou Zhen has a beautiful daughter-in-law that has long been spread. Although she doesn't have much spare money, Zhou Zhen is willing to dress up her daughter-in-law.
Among the rough old men, Wu Zhizhen, like an orchid, has become a beautiful scenery in this small courtyard.
Zhou Zhen is not Liang Zhijun. She is not afraid that she can't keep her daughter-in-law. If someone really wants to make an idea of her, Zhou Zhen just takes advantage of it.
In fact, up to now, he has not thought about what kind of world he wants to turn this world into.
Changing a person's fate is very simple for Zhou Zhen today.
He already has a powerful force, a number of practical skills, and a prophet.
No matter in which world, he can live well.
But changing the attributes of the whole world is still very risky.
Like the world of fireworks in the daytime, although it is only a partial world and the world will is incomplete, the world will is a part of the rules.
Zhou Zhen wants to change the attributes of the world, that is, to change the rules, which is the will to challenge the whole world.
Of course, he doesn't need to touch the core directly. He just needs to change the continuation of the plot between the protagonists, and only slightly change from the outer layer, he can get great benefits.
"Zhijun, I didn't expect that you still have this skill. Working in the factory is really inferior. Don't worry, I'll arrange any entertainment in the factory in the future."
"No matter how good the craft is, someone should help. Although I left the coal preparation plant, I came out of the coal preparation plant, and I still expect the support of the plant in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
After drinking more than ten o'clock a meal, they were drunk one by one, and then they left.
Zhou Zhen has no money in her pocket and hasn't hired anyone. After the guests have left, she can only clean up the mess by herself.
After sending the guests back, Zhou Zhen hugged Wu Zhizhen in her arms from behind when she saw Wu Zhizhen wearing an apron and cleaning up the dishes. "Tired?"
"If I'm not tired, I'll do it. What's tired? You've bought and cooked vegetables and drank so much wine. Have a rest."
Zhou Zhen's mouth came together. Wu Zhizhen pinched and kissed Zhou Zhen. "Don't interfere with my work..."
Zhou Zhen suddenly revealed Wu Zhizhen. She was stunned and thought she had no charm.
"Someone is coming." Zhou Zhen walked to the door. Under the dim electric light under the eaves, a thin figure came from the shadow.
Wu Zhizhen was pushed away by Zhou Zhen. She was a little lost. She was relieved to hear that someone came over.
"Director Xiao, what did you leave behind?"
Xiao Ruiwen has been the director of the coal preparation plant for more than ten years. Now he is old and only waits for retirement.
Although he is old, he can be regarded as a real sitting tiger in this coal preparation plant with thousands of people.
"Xiao Liang, I'm halfway here. When I think of something, I want to come back and ask you what you mean."
"Director Xiao said."
Xiao Ruiwen looked around the yard and said, "you want to expand your business by renting such a big yard?"
Zhou Zhen immediately understood what he meant and admired the old man's acuity. He was not a simple man who could be the boss of a factory with thousands of people.
Before Zhou Zhen spoke, he said, "your craftsmanship is better than that of the chefs in big hotels. You are a little inferior.
But now it's difficult to do business. Opening a small restaurant is also a trouble to owe money every day.
Not to mention the harassment of local ruffians and hooligans, industrial and commercial taxation come to check accounts every day... If any link is not done well, the restaurant can't be opened. "
Zhou Zhen said with a smile: "factory director Xiao doesn't say anything. I've also considered this matter. I'll do it first. Living people can't be suffocated by urine."
Xiao Ruiwen asked bluntly, "look, how about my participation? I'll invest some more money. You can tidy up the yard, build some sheds and find some help. Xiao Wu's beautiful daughter-in-law can't wash dishes every day."
Xiao Ruiwen is also a good partner. The key is not how much he invests, but the benefits brought by his identity.
The director of a coal preparation plant not only managed hundreds of thousands of people, but also the drivers who came from south to north to pull coal. They couldn't curry favor with each other.
With him as a shareholder, I'm not afraid that the coal preparation plant won't eat here or settle accounts.
Moreover, he can directly solve some small official problems.
Without waiting for him to say the conditions, Zhou Zhen directly said, "factory director Xiao, if you invest 30000 yuan or 30000 yuan in materials, I'll calculate your 30% shares. You can arrange someone to come in. My daughter-in-law takes care of the money and you take care of the accounts."
"Thirty percent... A little less?"
Zhou Zhen said with a smile, "factory director Xiao, you know my craft. I can't afford to eat anywhere. I have to work for you now. Is that right?"
Xiao Ruiwen did not tangle and asked, "what do you mean by investing in some materials?"
Zhou Zhen pointed to the yard and said, "for 30000 yuan, you can block most of the yard with canvas and eat when you sit outside. You're not going to make a big deal this year. If you make money next year, build a circle of houses next to the yard and make boxes. You can make a lot of money at that time."
Xiao Ruiwen said with a smile, "it seems that you have all figured it out?"
Zhou Zhen said with a smile, "I'm breaking the boat now. I always have to consider it carefully."
Xiao Ruiwen didn't talk nonsense, nodded and said, "Mingdi, I'll let my little son come to you. What's the matter, you young people can talk about it yourself."
The next morning, Zhou Zhen rode a tricycle to the vegetable market to buy some fresh vegetables and meat. Now the business has not been started. When it is done, the merchant can send vegetables directly.
When he came back, he moved the light box that had cost 150 yuan to the gate of the yard. The four characters of Zhizhen restaurant were particularly conspicuous.
Then the two divided the work, Wu Zhizhen washed the dishes, Zhou Zhen divided the dishes and solved the dishes.
There was no menu printed. On the wall outside the first box, I pasted a blackboard with cement and wrote down today's menu with chalk.
Zhou Zhen doesn't want to be too tired, and doesn't want to prepare too many dishes and trouble. There are only 20 dishes.
Even so, there are a lot of dishes prepared.
In addition to these dishes, there is barbecue. In the north, it is not a dinner without Luchuan.
However, there are not many kinds of barbecue, mainly beef, sheep and pork, plus plate tendons and crispy bones. There are not many kinds of barbecue in the south.
On a small bar at the door of the kitchen, Wu Zhizhen kept accounts in a notebook. She wrote down her recent expenses. Looking at the money spent, she felt a little uneasy.
Now they've run out of money. If business doesn't improve, it's over.
Although she knew that there should be business with her husband's craft, how could she put it in her heart before the dust settled?
However, at half past eleven, a clerk from the coal preparation plant came and ordered two tables first. One table was the standard of 300 yuan.
Wu Zhizhen was immersed in the good news. Before her happiness was released, a guest came to the door.
The coal drivers came together, and a dozen came at once and sat at a table.
What they ordered was not expensive. The average person was ten yuan, but he also earned more than 100 yuan.
At more than twelve o'clock, the four rooms were full. There were an endless stream of drivers pulling coal. They couldn't drink at noon. They were almost one person, one dish, one meal and left after eating.
If you are familiar with it, order one dish separately and eat it together.
Zhou Zhen has been busy in the kitchen, thinking about the dishes ordered by the drivers today and preparing to start serving fast food tomorrow.
In this way, you can save more than half the time and don't have to fry every dish.
Wu Zhizhen receives guests outside. The drivers are rude. When they see Wu Zhizhen beautiful, they will inevitably make a few jokes.
But she took the money and reluctantly endured it for the sake of money.
It seems that we must find some help. It's difficult for this thin skinned daughter-in-law to deal with these people.
(I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve and a happy family)
