A large family of children, placed two tables to sit down, adults a table, children a table.
At the dinner table, Xu Qing asked, "Hao Wei, how is the business after the restaurant opens?"
Hao Wei was a little embarrassed: "it's OK. Master Yu helped introduce the guests."
Xu Ying told the truth: "in fact, there are few guests here. They are not in the downtown area, and few people come here. But it doesn't matter. We go to the downtown area to set up stalls every day. We sell the snacks you taught us before. The business is good! You can make a lot of money every day
Xu Qing nodded and comforted: "it doesn't matter. It will get better in the future. Is there still a lot of people who haven't moved to Xinghu?"
Hao Wei: "well, it's said that only two thirds of the people have moved here."
Two thirds of the people, there are nearly 200000 people. This is just ordinary people.
With so many people here, Xu Qing is still looking forward to the business after its opening. It's just that business and publicity are also very important, but these are not urgent.
"Sister, brother-in-law, what about you?" Xu Qing looks at Li Jinmei and Cao Laoliu.
Li Jinmei said with a smile: "we are also very good. Your brother-in-law has a list every day. When he first opened, he was too busy."
Xu Qing: "isn't that very busy? I'm counting on you to help me. I can't trust anyone else. "
Li Jinmei laughs: "I don't want to help your brother-in-law make wood. I'd better follow you to make cakes."
They have been working together since they first planned to make cakes. They have already cultivated a tacit understanding. In the future, they have to take care of all aspects of the shop. Xu Qing is separated and lacks skills. It's really hard to do without a trusted person around.
There is no more suitable person than Li Jinmei.
Xu Ying doesn't answer. Although she also wants to help Xu Qing, Hao Wei can't help herself in the restaurant. Her sister and her husband still favor her husband.
Xu Qing: "by the way, what is Qianqian doing now?"
Xu Qing is talking about Yun Xiaoqian. Since Li Qinshu became the dean of the college, his wife has been following her husband to deal with some chores in the college. At that time, the college was just set up, and it was time to be short of manpower.
Speaking of Yun Xiaoqian, Li Jinmei said with a happy smile: "you don't know, Qianqian is happy! At the beginning of this month, she went to see a doctor and said that she was pregnant for one month, but she was so happy
In summer, the academy is on holiday. It is estimated that during this period that Li Qinshu and Qian Qian nest at home every day to make villains.
Xu Qing also said with a smile, "I'll have to visit her in two days. Originally, I wanted to ask her to be my accountant. It seems that I can't do it."
Li Jinmei: "Oh, it's hard to say. I've been pregnant for at least two years
Xu Qing: "it's OK. I'll find someone else. By the way, Changting has sent someone to deliver the letter. The Li Zhuang family will come in two days."
Li Jinmei: "I know that. A few days ago, the clan leader and Li Jing came to help the village to buy seeds. They stopped by and asked me when you would come back. Don't you want to recruit Li Zhuang's family to work here? After the summer harvest, Li Zhuang's family has not planted the next season of rice. They have already packed up their things and are ready to come. "
While eating, Ji looks at the three families quietly and finds that almost all of them are women in charge. At the dinner table, Xu Qing, Xu Ying and Li Jinmei are chatting and talking, but the three men seldom make a sound.
Looking at the relationship between the three couples, Ji can also see that Cao Laoliu is honest and gentle, Hao Wei is smart and lively, but he is also a favorite daughter-in-law, let alone Li Changting, who has been together for such a long time and still doesn't know what his apprentice is.
The three wives gathered together at a table, and only the voice of a woman was left on the table.
Fortunately, Ji Lao was worried that Xu Qing's mother-in-law family might not be easy to get along with before he came. As a result, he found that there was no mother-in-law family at all. Li Changting's elder sister was only Li Jinmei.
After lunch, Xu Qing nursed the little dragonfly and gave her to her family. Then they went out with Li Changting to choose furniture for decoration.
Let's see if there's any ready-made furniture she likes. I didn't ask my brother-in-law to help me do it.
Now the weather is cool, all kinds of shops and stalls on the street are full of people, very busy.
Two people came to downtown, passing zuixianlou, they went in to say hello to shopkeeper Yun.
"You're back at last!" I haven't seen you for several months. Shopkeeper Yun also misses Xu Qing and Li Changting very much.
However, Xu Qing is busy buying furniture, so he has no time to talk about the past. By the way, he also inquires about the best decoration shop from shopkeeper Yun.
Is this the best shop in Hezhou better than the Yu's?
Cloud shopkeeper simply left the restaurant business, personally took Xu Qing to the ancient color Pavilion.
The carpenters in the pavilion are all the best in the city. Of course, there are a lot of ready-made furniture. They are all in the warehouse at the back. Xu Qing can go in and choose at will.
Shopkeeper Yun didn't go to the backyard with him. Instead, he said hello to the shopkeeper of gucai Pavilion, and gave Xu Qing 50% discount on everything he sold."50% off. What else can I make? It's a lot of hard money for transportation and installation. "
"Just do it. When the master knows, he will not only scold you, but also praise you. You believe me."
Having said that, in the thoughtful face of the ancient color Pavilion shopkeeper, the cloud shopkeeper waved away.
There are a lot of furniture in such a big warehouse, and some of them are complete sets. It's like a little bit of furniture city.
Xu Qing chose some bright colors and simple workmanship. After all, her aesthetic is different from that of the people here. She just looks good and practical, and doesn't care whether the wood is valuable or not, and whether the workmanship is complicated or not.
The guy in charge of introduction just likes elegant style. He is good at recommending furniture and decorations to those literati. Some of them are just to Xu Qing's taste.
The carriage was fully loaded with two carts and was sent to qingtingfang by the staff and master of gucai Pavilion.
When paying, Xu Qing probably knew that shopkeeper Yun had come to help her cut the price, so he didn't bargain and paid the full amount.
From gucai Pavilion, Xu Qing and Li Changting went to buy some daily necessities, and finally came to a clothing shop.
"Tailor Zhang?"
"Oh, it's you!" When tailor Zhang saw Xu Qing, he was very surprised.
"Long time no see." Xu Qing said with a smile that the tailor, who had been rescued in Shengzhou City before, was introduced by Xu Qing to work in Yu Boming's clothing shop. Now he looks good and wants to have a good life.
"Long time no see." Tailor Zhang saluted excitedly and said, "is your shop ready to open? I've already made all the clothes you want! According to your requirements, I have designed several sets of them myself. You can follow me to the backyard to see if you are satisfied. "
