Chapter 241: It's Good to Have a Stutter
The business of the state-owned restaurant is not as good as before, so Lin Ziqiu and his colleagues are relatively less busy.
Jiang Lin was a little worried, but after the rainstorm, many people's income was affected, so business was naturally not as good as before.
Lin Ziqiu thought of an idea. He took a day off and took a group of people to go fishing at a lake in the suburbs.
The lakeside was covered with reeds, rustling in the wind.
Lin Ziqiu carried the fishing rod, Zhong Heyang followed behind her with a bucket, and the others looked around to choose the best spot for fishing.
"Wife, let's go over there!"
Zhong Heyang pointed to a large rock by the lake not far away.
Lin Ziqiu looked back and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
She turned around and followed Zhong Heyang and went with him.
Tian Xiaofeng rolled up his sleeves, ready to do something big. "You guys go fishing. I don't have the patience. I'll just go get it!"
When he was very young, he often came here with his friends to catch fish and crabs.
At this time, Zhong Zhiyang came out from the reed forest with two wild duck eggs in his hand. He was here on vacation today and he hadn't been so happy for a long time.
"Stop fishing and come with me to get eggs! There are lots of wild ducks over there! Let's catch one and have a snack tonight!"
He grinned very happily, but Tian Xiaofeng was not happy, "You pay, I'm not going!"
Zhong Zhiyang reminded him, "The water is very cold. If you go fishing, you might get yourself sick from the cold. Just let your sister save some trouble!"
This really hits the nail on the head.
Tian Xiaofeng squatted down unwillingly and stretched out his hand to test the water temperature. The cold lake water instantly transmitted the chill from his fingers to his whole body.
He couldn't help shivering and took a breath of cold air, "I'm not afraid of the cold, but you do make sense. My sister will definitely be worried about me later."
Zhong Zhiyang pursed his lips and complained: "You are such a sister slave!"
"Bah! How come you're a slave? You're the slave!" Tian Xiaofeng was not convinced, and the two of them started arguing with each other.
Lin Ziqiu watched them fighting from a distance and smiled helplessly, "Were you as naughty as them when you were a kid?"
Zhong Heyang helped her hook the bait, "Then I am much more cunning than them. At that time, my mother said that I didn't have a single pair of good pants. They were all patched up because of my wear and tear."
Lin Ziqiu couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you get beaten?"
"More than that." Zhong Heyang smiled helplessly, "My parents are playing mixed doubles, and my cousin is also fanning the flames."
Lin Ziqiu asked subconsciously: "If your son is also so naughty in the future, will you be willing to beat him?"
Zhong Heyang was surprised, "You want to have a baby?"
Lin Ziqiu reacted and realized that he had spoken too quickly. Wasn't this digging a hole for himself?
Her cheeks flushed, her eyes dodged, and she hurriedly threw the fishing rod away, her lips slightly parted, "I...I didn't mean that."
Zhong Heyang looked a little disappointed, "So you don't want to have a child with me."
“No!” Lin Ziqiu suddenly became anxious, feeling that he couldn’t explain himself clearly, “I… I didn’t mean that! Don’t misinterpret my meaning, I…”
Seeing her at a loss and anxious to explain, Zhong Heyang smiled, rubbed her head, and whispered in a very magnetic voice: "Just kidding, we will let the child's affairs take their course, don't feel pressured."
Since they started eating meat, they have never taken any safety measures.
Lin Ziqiu's space has never stocked up on contraceptives. They were sold in this era, but the quality was definitely not comparable to that of later generations.
As for children, Lin Ziqiu was actually not ready to be a mother.
In her previous life, she worked hard to raise Shen Yujuan, urged her to study, and got her admitted to a prestigious university, but in the end she found out that she had always hated herself in her heart.
I hate her for being so strict with her. Other people's childhoods are so carefree, but she is always accompanied by endless knowledge.
The other people in the Shen family would always come and play the good cop when she was teaching or scolding Shen Yujuan.
However, based on the genes of Shen Chengyuan and Lu Hui, what good children can they give birth to? Shen Yujuan is born a bad person without conscience.
So on the day Lin Ziqiu got married, when Zhong Heyang said that he didn't want children and wanted to treat Zhong Niannian and Zhong Siyu as his own, she was more than happy to do so.
Now that her relationship with Zhong Heyang has warmed up and has even broken through that level, having a child would naturally be the best, and that would be the fruit of their love.
Lin Ziqiu did not refuse and agreed with Zhong Heyang's words. As for the child, they would let nature take its course.
Everyone gained a lot in the afternoon.
Lin Ziqiu and his friends caught a lot of crucian carp. Zhong Xuexi and Zhao Xiuyuan had no experience in fishing, and they were too busy fishing, so there were only a few fish in the bucket.
However, Tian Xiaofeng, who didn't know where he went, managed to catch half a bucket of shrimps and a few crabs.
It could be considered a "full load". Lin Ziqiu kept some at home and took the rest to the restaurant.
"Uncle Jiang, I have an idea. Business is slow right now, why don't we come up with something new."
Jiang Lin was worried, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Do you have an idea?"
Lin Ziqiu nodded, "I suggest setting up a self-service porridge hotpot."
"What is self-service porridge hotpot?"
Jiang Lin had never heard of this statement. Lin Ziqiu explained to him: "What self-service means is that we prepare the porridge base for a fixed price per person, and the other side dishes can be selected by the guests themselves, and they can eat as much as they want."
Jiang Lin frowned, "Can this make money? Don't let me lose everything I have!"
"Please listen to me first." Lin Ziqiu comforted him, "You can't just look at those who can eat, there are also those with small appetites. Besides, as long as we have a lot of customers, are we afraid of not making money?"
"We can make seafood porridge base, beef porridge base and the like, and add more vegetarian dishes as side dishes. We can set the amount of meat for each person. In order to avoid waste, we can also stipulate that if there is too much left, we need to pay double the amount, so we don't have to worry about losing money."
Jiang Lin fell into deep thought, "Will this work?"
"As long as we publicize this self-service model, there will definitely be many people willing to come."
Lin Ziqiu also directly applied the buffet model of later generations. For state-owned restaurants that do not have to pay rent and have a monopoly on the market, this model is absolutely a sure win.
Although the rainstorm has caused many people to reduce their income or even suffer heavy losses, new things like this will make people, whether they are those who love to take advantage of small bargains or those who are curious, choose to give it a try.
So as long as she conquers their stomachs with delicious food, why would she be worried about not having repeat customers?
Jiang Lin was a little moved by what she said, "What does the seafood porridge taste like? Wouldn't it be fishy if seafood is added in?"
"No, adding seafood will make the porridge more delicious. It will taste good with anything added."
Nowadays, many people are lucky to have something to eat, so how could they bear to add fish, shrimp, etc. into porridge?
