Ganli was eventually persuaded by Maria.
No time limit, plus a mystery gift pack – don't miss out!
Okay, I'll keep on with this task for now, but don't get your hopes up too high. This task is too difficult; I can only say it's up to fate.
Maria: [...]
Maria was at a loss for words.
Fortunately, Ganli didn't care. As for Gantao's matter, although she didn't immediately give up the mission after Maria's persuasion, she was too lazy to think about it for the time being.
She focused her attention on the restaurant's opening.
These days, she taught Old Man Gan all the dishes she planned to sell at the restaurant. Old Man Gan, being an experienced cook, quickly learned them all.
Especially after Ganli unlocked the raw meat section, the pork she brought back was all fresh, clean, and odorless from the supermarket. The dishes she made tasted amazing and were delicious without much processing.
The restaurant's decoration was nearing completion. This was due to three factors: firstly, Gan Mingyi was keeping a close eye on things; secondly, the chefs he had hired were quite skilled; and thirdly, at Gan Li's behest, Gan Mingyi would occasionally provide the chefs with popsicles to help them cool off.
These are all benefits in addition to wages.
The craftsmen had never encountered such a thoughtful client before. They were not only grateful for the goods, but also for the respect shown to them. As a result, they worked with great effort.
So the decoration was completed on time within the promised construction period.
The pears were very satisfactory during the inspection.
The once ordinary shop has been completely transformed, now clean and bright. Above the door, a plaque bears the three large characters "Food is Heaven" written in a vigorous and powerful style, exuding an impressive aura.
Ganli was very satisfied and immediately paid the balance. Zhang the mudman took the money and said that he would definitely bring his brothers to support the opening day. Then he left happily.
The biggest job is done. Next, we need to clean the house and move all the purchased items in.
The Gan family doesn't have much else these days, but they have a lot of people. After hearing Gan Mingyi mention it, they went to town together the next day to help with the cleaning.
This was the first time Old Man Gan and Old Woman Gan had seen the shop their daughter had bought. Looking at the impressive shop, Old Woman Gan was overjoyed and kept praising her daughter for her ability.
Old Gan strolled around the shop with his hands behind his back, touching this and looking at that, his eyes narrowing into slits with a smile:
"This shop looks really nice! It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
She did spend quite a bit; the remaining hundred-odd taels of silver were all gone!
Fortunately, she had the foresight to not stop her stall business while busy setting up the restaurant. She has now earned seventy or eighty taels, which is just enough to buy the ingredients needed when the restaurant opens.
However, there was no need to explain these things clearly. She just chuckled and patted her chest, saying, "Once the restaurant opens, we'll earn all of this back!"
Sure enough, Old Man Gan smiled and said, "That's right, that's right."
The whole family pitched in and cleaned the restaurant inside and out until it was spotless.
The tables, chairs, and benches were polished to a shine, the floor tiles were so shiny they could almost reflect a person's image, and even the pots and pans in the kitchen were arranged neatly.
With everything prepared, Ganli set a date for the opening.
...
On the day Shiweitian opened, the sun shone brightly and the sky was clear, a rare and beautiful day.
Ganli specially changed into a new outfit, and her hair was neatly combed and tied into a simple bun with a wooden hairpin. She looked radiant.
She stood by the doorway, looking at the huge crowd outside. Many of them were familiar faces, old customers of Ganji Dessert Stall.
She turned to Gan Mingli and Zhao Shi and gave them a thumbs up: "Not bad, the publicity work is very well done!"
"That's right. We started telling everyone about our restaurant opening as soon as the renovations began! We strictly followed your instructions, Auntie, telling everyone we met!"
As Zhao spoke, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ganli.
Hearing Gan Li's generous praise, Zhao's face immediately lit up with joy.
Gan Mingli was both happy and moved to see his old acquaintances outside:
"Our guests are really nice; they really support us during the event."
"Actually, in the end, it's because our products are quite good. There are some things I need to tell everyone in advance," Gan Li said, her eyes scanning the room.
Everyone understood and quieted down to listen to her explanation.
Ganli continued, "Everyone thinks highly of us, so we must not let them down. We must work hard and do even better than before!"
Before she finished speaking, cheers erupted, and those outside, hearing the sounds coming from inside, were even more excited.
"What's going on? It's so late and you still haven't opened the door. What are you doing in there!"
"That's right, hurry up and open for business! I got up really early just to try some other delicious food!"
...
Hearing the cacophony of voices outside, Gan Li grinned and said to Gan Mingyi and Gan Mingli, who were already impatient:
"Open the door!"
"Alright!" Gan Mingyi immediately responded, strode to the door, unlatched it, and walked out with Gan Mingli. They quickly took out the firecrackers they had prepared, lit them, and they crackled and popped.
Amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, the crowd rushed inside, and upon seeing the clean and tidy lobby, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"It looks impressive, much more impressive than the old stall!"
"That's right! Look at these tables, chairs, and benches, they're all polished to a shine, and the floor is so smooth you can see your reflection in it!"
