The next morning, the sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, dappling onto Jiang Yushan's face. She stretched herself. She had already confessed everything to Huo Ci last night, so it was time for her to take action today.
Remembering the decision she had made after careful consideration last night, she quickly got up, tidied herself up, and knocked on Hu Xiaowen's door with full enthusiasm.
"Sister Hu, good morning." The moment the door opened, Jiang Yushan greeted her with a bright smile.
"Yushan?" Hu Xiaowen's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw her, and then she warmly invited her in: "So early? Come in and sit down."
The two sat down in the living room, the aroma of tea wafting in the air. Jiang Yushan took a deep breath and said, "Sister Hu, remember what I mentioned before about opening a shop? Now that the policies are open, I'd like to discuss this with you."
"Okay!" Hu Xiaowen wasn't surprised to hear that. "Of course I support you, but why are you planning to open it so soon?"
Hu Xiaowen had no objection, but wasn't it a bit too early?
The policy was just issued yesterday!
"Yes, I want to be among the first batch."
"Okay, then let's go out and take a look together. You can tell us where you want to open the store so we can discuss it." Hu Xiaowen said.
When talking about this, Hu Xiaowen's expression became serious. Although she has never been involved in the business world, she knows the importance of location for a store.
"Actually, I just bought a shop some time ago." Jiang Yushan smiled.
"What? You've already bought it?" Hu Xiaowen was surprised, but more worried. "No... you're too fast. Don't be so anxious that you lose your mind and don't even realize you've been cheated."
Her words were full of concern, as if Jiang Yushan was a child who needed care.
But for Hu Xiaowen, an eighteen-year-old girl is just a child, right?
"What kind of location did you choose for your store? You can't just choose a place with few people just to save money. It will be difficult to do business there." The more Hu Xiaowen thought about it, the more worried she became.
"No, I bought it by the sea. It used to be a fishing shop." Jiang Yushan explained, bringing out the same excuse he had given Huo Ci yesterday.
"Is that so..." Hu Xiaowen felt relieved after hearing Jiang Yushan say this.
There are quite a few people going to the fishing shop on the seaside, especially early in the morning. If it were a breakfast shop, there would be no need to worry about being empty.
Hu Xiaowen's brows gradually relaxed, and her eyes sparkled with approval. "The seaside is indeed nice, especially in the morning. The air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant. Your idea is very creative and should attract many customers."
The two smiled at each other, as if they had already seen the scene of the store being crowded with people in the future.
…
After drinking tea, the two went out to the fishing shop to check out the situation. After taking over the fishing shop, Jiang Yushan had only been there once.
On the way, Hu Xiaowen asked Jiang Yushan about his intentions and plans from time to time. The two chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
The store has been cleaned up. Although it is a bit simple, it is spacious. After setting up tables and chairs and hanging up a sign, it can be opened for business directly.
However, Jiang Yushan didn't want to be so casual. She still needed to decorate the store. She wanted to make this first store more exquisite.
In addition, if you want to open a store, you will also need to apply for a business license.
The policy has just been relaxed and business licenses can only be obtained now, but there are many people who want to apply for them, so it may take some time to get them done.
"Sister Hu, what do you think of this place?" Jiang Yushan asked.
"This location is really good. It's close to the sea and can store seafood. There are still many people coming and going. If we can create some special features, we won't have to worry about business." Hu Xiaowen looked around and was quite impressed by the environment.
After seeing this fishing shop, she was completely relieved. At least Jiang Yushan was not cheated and had chosen a good location.
This place is close to the sea, so it is convenient to get seafood. Jiang Yushan doesn't have to worry about the small seafood in sauce made in the cafeteria not becoming famous. Maybe many people will come here to try it.
"This is the place... It's a little shabby and needs some renovation. My husband Lin knows some veterans, and I heard they are renovating it now. Why don't we ask him to help contact them?" Since Jiang Yushan was about to open a store, Hu Xiaowen naturally wanted to contribute more.
She would feel more at ease if she asked someone she knew to do the renovation.
"Okay!" Jiang Yushan heard this, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes, "Sister Hu, you are really thoughtful. I feel much more at ease with your help."
The two stood in front of the fishing shop, the sea breeze blew gently, bringing with it a salty yet fresh scent, and it seemed that even the air was filled with infinite longing for the future.
In fact, Jiang Yushan also had some ideas about the decoration of this store. He had previously drawn simple design drafts in the space and planned to create a postmodern store full of marine elements.
Even the name has been decided, it’s called “Haiyun Cottage”.
"You picked a good name, but it doesn't sound like a restaurant." Hu Xiaowen didn't have many years of education, and although she thought the name sounded nice and elegant, it didn't sound like a place to eat.
"When more people open stores, our name should at least be unique." Jiang Yushan was thinking of building a brand in the future, so he wanted to choose a nicer name.
"I see." Hu Xiaowen nodded. "You really think long-term."
The two chatted in the fishing shop for a while before going back. In the evening, Hu Xiaowen talked to Lin Jianjun about hiring someone to decorate the house.
After learning that Jiang Yushan wanted to open a store, Huo Qingrong also helped to find people. Together with Lin Jianjun, they found people to do the decoration. After they came to confirm the situation, they announced that the fishing shop could be renovated in just one week!
This time was faster than Jiang Yushan expected. The business license was also processed in about the same amount of time. Everything went smoothly.
…
"Shanshan, why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you writing?" Huo Ci came out of the shower and while wiping his hair, he saw Jiang Yushan still writing something beside the table.
Now that everyone knows that she is going to open a store, Jiang Yushan no longer needs to hide it and can just write the menu at home openly.
Before, when Huo Ci was not at home, she wrote the menu in the space.
"I'm writing the menu for the restaurant after it opens." Jiang Yushan even showed the menu to Huo Ci, "Can you help me take a look at these dishes? Are they suitable?"
She had cooked all these dishes at home, and Huo Ci had eaten them before, so she had a lot of opinions and could tell more clearly whether they were suitable for the taste of the island.
"No problem, as long as it's cooked by you, it will be delicious." Huo Ci was full of confidence in the dishes cooked by Jiang Yushan.
In his opinion, there is no need to worry about his young wife's cooking skills!
