Gu Qingshi had a biological mother, but her mother only treated her stepchildren well, like a stepmother to her. She had a fiancé, but he was stolen by her stepsister's schemes. Her stepsister...
Chapter 56: Lu Yuan's Hiding Methods
Rather than going to work as planned, deep down, Gu Qingshi actually wanted to do business more.
She also felt that the job of a nurse was good. After all, it was something she had always wanted but never got in her previous life. However, her energy was limited, and once she really started working, many of her subsequent plans would inevitably be stalled or abandoned.
She has space, but she can't bear to give it up.
Maybe many people cannot understand this, but she has confidence in herself. Only in this way can she get better and better and have the opportunity to surpass Qin Zeming.
Although Bai Zhong still didn't quite agree in his heart, things had already happened and the job could not be saved, so he could only sigh and accept it.
"You kid, you have such a big idea."
Although she still felt uncomfortable, her uncle was still her uncle, and he cheered himself up and started to support her again.
"You don't have to buy a table. Your uncle will make one for you. The more money you can save, the better."
"Bowls and chopsticks. Uncle can also find a way for you. We have a ceramics manufacturer there. They also make bowls. It's cheaper than buying them."
"Okay, thank you uncle, you are the best. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."
Gu Qingshi was touched and happy by the support from his uncle and cousin.
Bai Zhong couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then scolded her, "You only know how to say nice things. You have a lot of ideas now, and you can still do it without us." He knew Gu Qingshi well.
Gu Qingshi smiled awkwardly and refused to admit it, "No, I must have the support of my uncle and cousin."
Now there is enough space for dishes and supply is not a problem. Everything is ready, except for the right time.
Five days later, the east wind was ready and Gu Qingshi’s first store, Gu’s Kitchen, officially opened.
Good luck with the opening. Lu Yuan and Fang Wen came early to show their support. They were the first batch to enter the store. As soon as they entered, Fang Wen kept nodding and saying that the store was good. Lu Yuan looked at it and nodded as well.
The plaque was custom-made by someone else. Gu Qingshi had already designed it. It is simple and rustic.
The overall style of the store is fresh and pastoral. The tables and chairs made with the help of my uncle are all made of good wood and maintain the texture of the wood.
The store has not been completely renovated, but it has been decorated. Gu Qingshi simply used bamboo as decoration on the wall, and there happened to be some chopped bamboo in the space.
Fang Wen and Lu Yuan both liked these bamboo decorations. They felt very refreshing at first sight.
“It feels good. As soon as I come in, I feel comfortable and relaxed.”
Lu Yuan nodded. "The air is very fresh, and there is a slight bamboo scent, which makes people relax."
After entering the store, it seems like there is magic that can make people relax, including their frowning brows.
Gu Qingshi had the same feeling every time he entered the space. These bamboos might have been placed in the space for a long time, so they made people feel comfortable.
Fang Wen and Lu Yuan found a corner and sat down. Bai Xue came over to greet them and take their order.
When Gu Qingshi opened a restaurant, his uncle Bai Zhong and cousin Bai Xue came to support him. His uncle helped out in the kitchen, and his aunt also wanted to come up, but she had pigs at home and couldn't leave.
Compared to hiring outsiders, it is of course best to have my uncles and his friends help. We can trust them, and they can earn more money than farming at home.
They are also hardworking, so Gu Qingshi saves a lot of worry.
Bai Yang has always liked cooking and studying it, and he had learned a lot from people in the village before. After this period of training, and having learned a lot of new dishes from Gu Qingshi, he has no problem being a chef for the time being, and he also has Gu Qingshi to help him.
Bai Xue worked as a waitress, greeting customers. She was a little nervous on her first day at work, but the greeting of Lu Yuanfangwen almost left her with a psychological trauma.
Bai Xue just came to order food for them normally, but when she came over, Fang Wen didn't move, but Lu Yuan immediately moved and sat down opposite him, away from Bai Xue.
Bai Xue was stunned and couldn't help but look to Gu Qingshi for help. She even smelled herself to see if she had any bad smell.
Gu Qingshi felt distressed when he saw Bai Xue, and hurriedly told her, "It's okay, he just doesn't like people getting close to him, it's not your fault, you and Fang Wen can just order the food."
Fang Wen nodded, "Yes, yes, just order with me."
Bai Xue was still confused, because she just saw that Lu Yuan didn't react at all when Gu Qingshi went over.
Gu Qingshi and Fang Wenluyuan introduced Bai Xue, "This is my cousin Bai Xue, she's here to help."
Fang Wen immediately called her cousin. Lu Yuan coughed and said, "I'm Lu Yuan. I'm sorry for what happened just now. I'm just used to it. It's not against you."
After saying that, she thought for a moment and moved her seat back a little. This was already a concession, as she was Gu Qingshi's cousin.
This is indeed the case. Gu Qingshi has seen Lu Yuan more often during this period. Every time she sees Lu Yuan, she seems to see him refusing and hiding in various ways, which is exactly the same as what Fang Wen had told her at the beginning.
People like Lu Yuan are very rare in Mingchang County. He has an outstanding appearance, elegant clothes, and can drive. No matter where he appears, he is always the most eye-catching one and is bound to attract attention.
But every time someone came up with an excuse to get to know him and approached him within the three-meter cordon, Lu Yuan would start to give way or hide, and then he would bluntly refuse without any excuses. "No time" and "busy" became his catchphrases, and all those little tricks were of no use at all.
Gu Qingshi once saw with her own eyes a girl who deliberately dropped her handkerchief when she passed by Lu Yuan, hoping that Lu Yuan would pick it up and call her back to return it to her. However, she walked three or five meters away without hearing anyone calling her. When she turned around, Lu Yuan had already avoided her and was three meters away from the handkerchief.
Gu Qingshi still remembers the girl's incredulous expression. She patted Bai Xue's shoulder and said, "Yes, Xiaoxue, don't worry about it. He is not targeting you."
Gu Qingshi took the initiative to take over the waiter's job, asked Xiaoxue to do other things, and served them tea in an enamel mug.
Fang Wen wanted to chat a little more, but another customer arrived, "Boss Gu? Is this the place?"
"Here it is. I saw her."
“This environment is nice.”
Those who came were all old customers who used to set up stalls there. Gu Qingshi Bai Yang no longer set up stalls there, but he still went to the original place to wait for the customers who used to come every day. He told them the news of opening a store, the location and opening time of the store, and hoped that they would support it.
From now on, we will not only sell porridge for breakfast, but also provide breakfast in the morning, lunch and dinner. Please continue to support us.
Now everyone is here, "Boss Gu, are you still selling porridge in the morning? Are you going to increase the price?"
"No extra, old price. You don't need to bring lunch boxes anymore. There are more seats. You can eat here comfortably."
"It's good that you don't increase the price. I said that Boss Xiao Gu would not increase the price just because he opened a store. This environment is great!"
Everyone felt comfortable after sitting down. They hadn’t eaten there for a few days, so they quickly ordered dishes.
Because there was already a customer base, there were quite a lot of people when it opened, and that day happened to be market day, people from the county town and those who were going to the market came in curiously to take a look. Once they came in, they were all conquered by the smell.
