Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 52 Preparations



in town.

Today happened to be a market and the road was not easy to walk, so Li Xiangbei parked the ox cart in the small courtyard behind the store, and then walked out with Li Qiuyan and Wang Congcong to see if there was anything that needed to be added or subtracted.

Seeing a fortune teller from all the way, Li Qiuyan dragged Wang Congcong over, planning to choose an auspicious day for the opening.

After listening to the goatee old man chattering for a long time, analyzing from east to west, and from south to north, Li Qiuyan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Master, just pick two auspicious days for me to open the business."

The old Taoist stroked his beard, opened an old imperial calendar with an air of immortality, and said: "The nearest auspicious day is tomorrow. The next auspicious day will be twenty days later, which is suitable for opening."

Li Qiuyan thanked the old man and handed over twenty coins.

In fact, Li Qiuyan originally planned to open in the next two days, but now that Li Xiangnan has confessed, he would rather believe that he has it than that he doesn't have it. Spending some money is actually buying peace of mind.

A little further away from the stall, Wang Congcong asked: "Yanyan, can we catch up tomorrow?" Li Xiangbei also felt that this was a bad day, one was too close and the other was too far.

Li Qiuyan definitely couldn't wait for the next twenty days. She clenched her fist and said, "Now we only need raw materials and signboards. Let's work harder today and strive to open tomorrow."

Now that Li Qiuyan has made a decision, Li Xiangbei and Wang Congcong naturally have no objections.

After saying this, the three of them split up.

Because now we have decided to only sell noodles, and the braised pork is also ready-made.According to the current rules, only one tassel sign could be hung, so Wang Congcong went to a cloth store and bought a tassel sign. Li Qiuyan and Li Xiangbei went to the carpenter to order a plaque for Li Ji, and agreed to expedite the process. , come back to pick it up in the afternoon.Then I went to the meat stall to order big bones and buy meat, and then I went to buy chickens and vegetables.Finally, I went to the grain and oil store to order some noodles, and agreed to have them delivered to the store in the afternoon, and then I was basically done.

Li Qiuyan had been in the town non-stop all day preparing for the opening tomorrow. At this time, it was almost dark and the plaque had been hung up. Li Qiuyan went to get the plaque, and Li Xiangbei and Wang Congcong worked together to hang it up.

Gold characters on a black background, written to Secretary Li.Although it was just a small shop, Li Qiuyan looked quite impressive.While I was admiring it, I felt that something was missing. Well, I should buy a piece of red silk, which would make it look more festive.Li Qiuyan asked Li Xiangbei to go to the cloth store to buy more red silk, and asked the boss to tie a big red flower on it.After explaining, Li Qiuyan went out to admire it again, mainly to check for omissions and fill in the gaps to see if there was anything to add or subtract.

"Miss Li?" A surprised voice sounded. When Li Qiuyan turned around, it was Cui Zeyu.

"Master Cui." Li Qiuyan greeted.

"Why are you here? This, Li Ji? Is it owned by your family?" Cui Zeyu said in a clear voice.

Li Qiuyan scratched his head: "Well, to be precise, I opened it. It will open tomorrow."

Cui Zeyu was greatly surprised. How old is Li Qiuyan and he can open a noodle shop?

Li Qiuyan touched his nose again and approached Cui Zeyu: "Actually, I paid for it with the money you gave me. I originally wanted to return the money to you, but this shop is really rare. I have to make money before I can return it to you."

Cui Zeyu said helplessly: "Whatever I haven't paid back yet is a thank you gift to you. It belongs to you."

Li Qiuyan felt a little embarrassed and said bravely: "It's just a small effort, it doesn't deserve such a heavy thank you gift."

Seeing Li Qiuyan's helpless look, Cui Zeyu felt funny in his heart. This little girl was very independent and always knew what she had in mind. It was quite rare to show such a look, so she deliberately made a tigerish face and said, "Don't tell me, do you think the fate of my daughter, the Cui family, will be saved?" , not worth the money?”

After hearing this, Li Qiuyan felt that he was being weird, so he said no more, and excitedly asked Cui Zeyu: "Master Cui, do you want to come into my little shop?" Cui Zeyu had nothing to do, so he naturally followed Li Qiuyan in. .

I saw that the house, which was originally a bit dilapidated, had been cleaned spotlessly by Wang Congcong and Li Xiangbei in the past few days. Although there was no sunlight, it was still very clean and bright.There is also a small pot of green plants placed at the cashier counter.The list of dishes and charges are listed on the order board: shredded pork noodles with sauerkraut for [-] cents, pork sausage noodles for [-] cents, chicken nuggets and hazel mushroom noodles for [-] cents, bone soup noodles for [-] cents, and you can add meat and bone for ten cents a piece.There is also a simple small stall.

"What is this stall for?" Cui Zeyu asked curiously.

Li Qiuyan said: "Although I am a noodle shop, I will continue to sell braised pork. When the time comes, the braised pork will be cut to order and can also be taken away. So I plan to let my fourth uncle sell it at the door."

Cui Zeyu nodded: "Excellent, you are also very strange, I have never heard of it."

Li Qiuyan smiled and said: "They are just country snacks."

Without saying a few words, Wang Congcong, who was washing rags in the backyard, came out when he heard the noise. When he saw Cui Zeyu, he hurriedly saluted.The few of them chatted for a while, and when they saw Li Xiangbei coming back with the red silk, Cui Zeyu knew that there would be a lot of things to do tomorrow when the business opened, so he didn't stay any longer.

Li Qiuyan and others hung up the red silk and went back.

Wang and Li Xiangnan were very happy to hear that everything went well. They also talked about the opening tomorrow. Wang and Li Xiangnan decided to go there together the next day to help Li Qiuyan.

Li Qiuyan understood and agreed with a smile.He also processed the pig offal, marinated the meat, and cleaned the big bones.

Only then did the family go to sleep.
