It was around three in the afternoon when Su Jianwei and Lin Yulan finished discussing the restaurant plan.
They plan to renovate and tidy up the store before the end of July.
This includes buying tables, chairs and benches, installing fans, and building a front desk, three and a half private rooms, and a signboard.
During this period, waiters and chefs will also need to be recruited. Otherwise, with the store being so big, Lin Yulan alone will definitely not be enough if it gets busy.
Su Jianwei could still help during the summer vacation, but when the school starts in September, she will have to go to school and will not have time to stay in the restaurant to help.
The two of them calculated that by the time all the preparations were completed, it would be at least the beginning of August. After a period of trial operation, it would be almost the start of the school year.
After making the arrangements, Lin Yulan went to find Aunt Zhou to rent the yard on the first floor for a year.
Su Jianwei returned to his room after Lin Yulan left.
The wooden box she got on the train had never been opened. Taking advantage of the time today, Su Jianwei wanted to see what was inside.
She sat on the carpet, took out the wooden box and the key she had picked up from her bunk on the train, and tried to open the small wooden box in front of her.
With a "click", the wooden box really opened.
Su Jianwei was extremely lucky, otherwise he would not have found the key to the small wooden box so soon after finding it.
But her luck was not so good, because there was nothing in the box except a letter.
Su Jianwei checked the box inside and out, left and right, but still didn't see any interlayer or secret compartment.
Five minutes later, Su Jianwei gave up.
Okay, that's normal. After all, many of the things she picked up in her previous life were just for show.
Su Jianwei took the letter in his hand and read it carefully. There were only two words on the envelope: To you personally.
In addition, there is some black and red jet-like liquid on it.
Su Jianwei took the envelope and smelled it, frowning. It smelled of blood.
This letter feels like an unfinished letter.
but……
When Su Jianwei touched the envelope, he found a key.
Why does this step by step feel so much like a treasure hunt game?
She opened the envelope and took out everything inside.
There were three things inside: a title deed, a letter, and a key.
Su Jianwei first opened the deed, which was a deed to the imperial capital, but he didn't know where it was located. It should be an alley.
As for the key, it's just an ordinary brass key.
That letter...
Su Jianwei opened the envelope. The content on it was very simple. It could be said to be a suicide letter.
The author entrusted someone with two gold bricks to hand over the title deed of the house to his daughter.
What follows are some words the author said to his daughter. He simply said that as a father, he felt sorry for her and that the only thing he could leave her was the house. He hoped that she would not resent him as a father and look forward to everything.
If one day she is willing to bring her ashes back from Yunnan Province, she hopes she can bury her ashes under the persimmon tree planted by her mother in the backyard of the house.
After reading the letter, Su Jianwei put it back into the envelope.
A letter like this that doesn't even have a surname can only mean that the person entrusted with it must be someone very close to the author.
But judging by the bloodstains on the envelope, it is unclear whether the person who killed him was that close person or someone else.
Su Jianwei took another look at the title deed, wrote down the name, and planned to wait until everything in Pengcheng was almost arranged, and then go to the imperial capital to take a look.
If this deed is useful, maybe I can even exchange it for some money.
…
After Lin Yulan rented the first floor, she asked Aunt Zhou to help her find a few capable workers.
In just two days, the first floor and the restaurant were cleaned up and looked brand new.
After cleaning up the restaurant, Lin Yulan went to the market to buy suitable tables, chairs and benches, and also made a sign.
Su Jianwei was on the first floor, watching the hired workers rebuild a large, bright and clean kitchen in the yard.
This was requested by the landlord on the first floor.
After learning that they were planning to cook here, they asked them not to make the room smoky.
The original kitchen in the house can be used, but it is not big, and it is not easy to supply business from outside restaurants.
So after several discussions, they rebuilt a kitchen in the yard. There were four stoves against the wall, and behind them were the food preparation area and the place for cutting and serving vegetables. It was a circular streamlined design, which was very convenient.
Three of the stoves in the kitchen are gas-powered, and there is a small stove further away, which was specifically ordered by Lin Yulan.
In her opinion, although they both use fire, the food cooked by gas and the food cooked on the stove taste completely different.
During this period, Lin Yulan and Aunt Zhou's eldest daughter-in-law Wang Aihua got along pretty well. This was mainly because Wang Aihua was simple, capable, and an honest person. She would never be lazy just because Aunt Zhou and Lin Yulan had a good relationship.
After spending a long time together, Lin Yulan thought about hiring Wang Aihua as a waitress in her restaurant. If her cooking skills were good, she could also be her kitchen assistant.
"Aunt Zhou's family has a small shop, doesn't it? Aunt Wang used to help out there."
Su Jianwei also heard this from the worker who came to work in the store.
Lin Yulan said, "Isn't Aunt Zhou's daughter back now? So she's looking after the shop, so your Aunt Wang is free now."
"Otherwise, why would Aunt Zhou arrange for me to come here to do odd jobs?"
Lin Yulan paid a pretty good wage, ten yuan a day.
Su Jianwei has gotten to know Wang Aihua over this period of time. He is indeed an honest person, otherwise he would not have been driven out of the convenience store by his sister-in-law.
"I was thinking that Aunt Zhou has been a great help since we moved here. Since we need to hire someone anyway, why not hire Sister Aihua? She and I get along well."
Su Jianwei had no objection, "Then Mom, you should talk to Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhou and see what they think."
"good!"
"That's right, Mom."
"What's wrong?"
"You still remember Dandan, right?"
Lin Yulan nodded.
"Dandan is about to have surgery in the capital. She doesn't have anyone close to her except her father, so she wants me to go to the capital to accompany her."
Lin Yulan frowned when she heard the word "imperial capital".
Her first reaction was to refuse. If possible, she hoped that she and Su Jianwei would never go back.
The impression the imperial capital left on her was always one of gloom and despair.
She didn't want to get close at all.
"It was a heart surgery. She said if she could make it through this time, she would have no major problems for the rest of her life. If she couldn't make it, she wanted to see me one last time."
This sentence was made up by Su Jianwei himself.
But Lin Yulan was shaken after hearing this, because the child was about the same age as her daughter.
"Mother?"
Lin Yulan looked at Su Jianwei, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
