Chapter 106
In the evening, close the store and go home, Lin Minjun also want to tell this good news to Yan Li, of course, the heart is also a little apprehensive
Whether it’s in this life or the last, she has seen a lot of men are more or less a little chauvinistic, hate the object of their own master, more hate the object than their own better, more able to make money, trying to do everything possible to suppress
In the end, it is afraid that women are better than them
So Lin Minjun heart also a little light panic, if Yan Li brother like those men, open mouth is: “You a woman how dare so big, own dare to take the idea” or: “I’m not a woman, I’m not a woman”
Or maybe: “I just let you go and take a look, I didn’t let you just decide, you’re too bold”
Lin Minjun felt disillusioned at the thought that such words would come out of Yan Li’s mouth, and it would also wipe out her good feelings towards Yan Li to the bone
But after Yan Li heard it, he didn’t make any comments, and only said, “Since you have decided, go all out, don’t be afraid of not earning money for rent, your craftsmanship is so good, and there is no specialized Yunnan style restaurant in the capital, I don’t think your business will be bad”
Lin Minjun smiled at once, “I think so too, even if I really can’t earn it back, it doesn’t matter, I can still go back to open a store or set up a stall, anyway, they all came from there, big deal, start over again”
“I’m still here, why do you think so far ahead” Yan Li said, “Have you found the people for the renovation?”
Lin Minjun nodded, “Find a good, Erwa has a friend called Zhou Ran you remember, those two brothers I also know, they next this job, help me decorate”
“Those two brothers are good” He agreed with Lin Minjun, “You can rest assured that boldly do, if you do not have time to go over to stare, I have time to help you go over to see, in addition, I have retired from the army back to the comrades understand the material, I will ask him to come over to help you over a glance, don’t be pitied”
Lin Minjun didn’t need to say anything, Yan Liege had already helped her think through the inconsiderate places
At this time, she could only offer a kiss to express her gratitude
As for the restaurant, with the arrival of Zhou Ran’s brothers, the renovation started with a bang
Currently, the lease of the rice noodle store still has four months to expire, Lin Minjun will have to work here for four months before moving to the restaurant, in addition to the reason for the rent, but also because it is necessary to slowly tell the acquaintances that in the future, if they want to eat, they will have to go to the restaurant over there
And the restaurant side, because only Zhou Ran and Zhou Yong brothers in the work, they work and very detailed, but also a full count of four months to finish repair
These two brothers look on the surface of a shrewd and a simple, do the work can be detailed, Lin Minjun often go to see, almost can not pick faults, Yan Li brother also often go to help, said that the two brothers do a very good job
After they renovated the walls and floors and ceilings, but also from the village to find two carpenters, help contact to buy wood, in the restaurant to help make tables and chairs and benches, after doing the whole cleaned up again, clean hand over to Lin Minjun
Just started decorating when just into winter, the body is still wearing a thin cotton jacket, and so the decoration is complete, it is already the end of the New Year, winter has not passed, everyone is wearing a thick cotton jacket
Lin Minjun is not wearing that wrapped with dumplings like thick cotton jacket, today she wore a tailoring particularly well-fitting, particularly elegant and generous version of the wool coat, the sun shines down, the coat on the shimmering, as if there are water ripples, which is Yan Li brother to go to the city of Shenyang on a business trip to bring back the gift
The coat also has to match the boots, inside is a knitted skirt that you find someone to do, so a match down, put in twenty years later will not be out of date
Today is the day of the official delivery of the restaurant, Lin Minjun is ready to take Yan Liguo and Erwa together to take a look
The last time I went, the restaurant hadn’t been cleaned, everywhere was dirty and disorganized, it looked especially sloppy, Lin Minjun’s heart was pounding at that time, can such a restaurant look good?
But this time, open the door, Lin Minjun was directly shocked speechless, Erwa round eyes, can not help but wow, Lin Minjun also followed the childish wow
“Sister, you’re simply simply too ” Erwa, the third best student who took first place in every exam, couldn’t even find an adjective for a moment
Lin Minjun stared blankly and picked up a sentence, “It’s too good looking”
Pushing open the entrance door is a large empty open space, next to the square table, this is the hall, standing in the door position, as far as the eye can see is a large Y staircase, separated from the center to the two sides, because the whole house is empty in the middle, it looks particularly large and expansive
The three boxes on the first floor were retained, all redecorated, and the upstairs of the house was renovated, so that the downstairs could be chartered for small wedding banquets at that time
Three people walked and looked, Lin Minjun on this renovated restaurant can not mention a little problem, is satisfied
When they walked to the backyard, Erwa jumped and pulled a few leaves from the tree, putting them to his mouth and whimpering and blowing, “Sister, when do you plan to open?”
“The rice noodle store has been packed up pretty much recently, I guess I’ll move over early next month and pack up a bit more to open” Lin Minjun said
Erwa: “Have you thought about doing an event?”
Lin Minjun: “You mean an opening event?”
Erwa nodded: “The rice noodle store is far away from here, the original guests and the current guests are not the same group of people, have to recruit new sources of customers, I came to see a circle, the nearby house conditions are quite good, feel you can do the opening activities”
Lin Minjun did not say anything, a rua on the head of the second child, thinking that if this child to business, certainly better than their own do
After thinking for a while, she said, “I have thought about the opening activities, and thought of two, one is a direct discount, the other is to send a dish when the guests enter the door, to send a plate of small dishes, such as preserved fish or potato chips, which one do you think is better?”
Thinking of the various small dishes made by his sister, his mouth really can’t stop flowing ah, Erwa asked, “Have you thought about the price of the dishes? Has the price of the dishes been finalized?”
“Fixed, with other restaurant’s food price is about the same, slightly higher” Lin Minjun explained, “It’s not much higher, because a lot of raw materials have to be sent from Yunnan, itself is not cheap, in addition, I positioned the selling point is not good value for money, otherwise it will not do Yunnan cuisine, I think, people think of this mouthful, come to change tastes, under a pavilion”
Erwa nodded: “Then send small dishes, people who can afford this money, itself is not rushing to the low price, people eat the small dishes, maybe think the taste is good, next time will continue to come”
Sister and brother hot and lively discussion for a while, finally the opening activities decided down, Lin Minjun satisfied lock the door of the restaurant, which is ready to go home
Riding a bicycle into the hutong, a go in Erwa said something is not right, he said the hutong quiet uncharacteristic, with the usual different
Lin Minjun always felt that this child is quite magical, other people have seven orifices, he may have eight orifices, more than people have one more orifice, can hear sounds that other people can not hear
“Usually at this time, there should be sounds in the neighborhood, today it’s too quiet” Erwa explained
The three people pushed their bikes into the courtyard, just as they entered, they heard a noisy ruckus in the first courtyard, a large group of people walking from the first courtyard to the front courtyard, all the way saying something like hurry up and look for it, lost it, disobedient and other words
Everyone’s face is anxious expression, the discussion is called a heated
Lin Minjun and Yan Li exchanged glances
Just as Auntie Xu followed the crowd towards the door, Lin Minjun quickly pulled Auntie Xu back and asked curiously: ”What’s wrong Auntie, what are they looking for? Did they lose something? Or is there a burglar in the house again?”
To say that the year before and last year, there are always thieves in the yard, there are always thieves in the hutongs, since Yan Li came back, this kind of thing has never been heard of again
Just kidding, a public security officer lives here, just like a town treasure, which thief dares to come over to steal things
As soon as Auntie Xu saw Lin Minjun, she sighed, “It’s not the things that are missing, it’s the people! Ding Ling of the Xiao Xu family ran away! This girl has disappeared”
“What?” Lin Minjun was startled, “Where did she go?”
Auntie Xu: “I just don’t know where she went, she ran away at night, Xiao Xu was on the night shift and didn’t know, she has been looking for her since she came back, but she didn’t find her, no, now everyone in the hutong has mobilized to help find her”
Lin Minjun glanced at the courtyard, all of them were in a state of disarray
She then parked her bike elsewhere and immediately said, “I’ll also help look for it, more people more power”
Before the words were finished, Yan Liege had already followed the large group and turned around to escort Lin Minjun to the house, “I’ll go, Erwa stay at home to watch the yard, you wait for news at home, it’s not safe to go out in the middle of the night”
Lin Minjun bit her lip and said, “But I can’t rest easy at home, my heart is always worried about this matter, and I don’t know where Ling Ling actually went”
“No matter where we go, we will find her, you can wait for her if you stay at home, what if she comes back and there is no one in the yard?” Yan Liyu was to say again
Lin Minjun then stopped saying she would follow, decisively pulling up Erwa’s hand, “Go, let’s wait at home”
She went home and boiled a pot of hot water, took some peanuts and candies, and sat with Erwa to wait
Heart can’t help but follow the anxiety, outside is not peaceful, Lingling still ran out in the middle of the night, until now it’s almost twenty hours, I don’t know where this little girl actually went
So restless until the middle of the night, Hutong suddenly came a dog barking, woof woof woof, simply get people’s hearts in seven, followed by a burst of cursing, probably the owner back, in reprimanding the dog do not bark
Not a moment later, went out to look for people all into the courtyard
Lin Minjun boiled two pots of hot water early, pouring water for everyone to drink, warming their bodies that were frozen outside
“How’s it going, is there any news about Ling Ling?” Lin Minjun asked
