The restaurant isn't even open yet, and you're already promoting braised dishes?
Su Qingrou didn't know what to say for a moment.
Speaking of the business license, it seemed like she had helped a lot, but in fact she played a small role in it.
When she first submitted her application documents, they were indeed blocked by the higher-ups, and she was even scolded.
But just one or two days later, after the weekend, the top leader of their bureau received a call and suddenly informed her that the business license could be obtained.
She was completely confused throughout the whole process, and before she could put in any effort, the problem was solved smoothly.
It seems that Yan Fengai is right to follow He Ting. This guy is quite interesting.
"Okay, I'll definitely come when the restaurant opens."
Su Qingrou took out a large bag of things she bought at the Friendship Store: "You came here just in time. These are the things my sister asked me to buy for Lingling at the Friendship Store. Please take them back."
"She's pregnant, how's her appetite?"
He Ting felt very strange, as if he was greeting his wife.
It was also because Zhou Yanfeng was not around. He Ting had just finished helping, so he talked to her about this topic and told Su Qingrou what he knew.
"She felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit. My wife made some medicine for her and now her appetite is good and she doesn't feel like vomiting as much."
Su Qingrou nodded and smiled at He Ting: "That's great, your wife is a good doctor, and I heard that she is treating a big shot recently."
"Ting, tell me the truth, is your ability to obtain this business license related to this matter?"
Su Qingrou also went directly to her sister Su Qingyi to inquire because she was the first to get a business license for an individual business.
Because the old leader's guard drove to Zhou's house to pick up Lu Baiwei, Su Qingyi knew some news, but Mr. Zhou asked her to be cautious about this matter, so she only revealed a little.
The key is that He Ting is too tight-lipped.
So Su Qingrou couldn't help but ask directly.
"Aunt Rou, that's impossible. I guess the higher-ups are going to liberalize the individual economy."
He Ting continued: "Our opening of this restaurant is of epoch-making significance, and we will definitely run it well."
"By the way, I have also made an appointment with someone to look after the shop. Aunt Rou, I will go and get busy first. When the restaurant is open, I will ask Yanfeng to send you the braised dishes."
The business license was successfully obtained, and He Ting and Shen Junqian decided to rent the most conspicuous shop opposite the school, which had a better location than the state-owned restaurant.
The shop issue has been resolved.
Next, Zhou Yanfeng used his aunt Su Qingrou's relationship to reach a cooperation with the slaughterhouse and finalize the issue of ingredients.
Various medicinal herbs and spices are indispensable for making braised dishes. Lu Baiwei originally thought that this demand could be met in the state-owned farmers' market. However, the fact is that it is good enough to have enough food to eat these days. Except for the exquisite cooking methods of big restaurants, ordinary people do not need those spices when cooking.
Lu Baiwei then set her sights on Gu Chuanbai, who ran a pharmacy.
After the pharmacology class, Lu Baiwei urged Tang Yunling to leave with Song Zhou first. She slowly moved out of the classroom and called out to Gu Chuanbai who was packing up his handouts.
"Teacher Gu, please don't leave now. I want to discuss a business deal with you."
Gu Chuanbai was stunned for a moment, then said coldly: "Let's go to the pharmacy to discuss business, this is school."
Most people would feel embarrassed if they were rejected by him.
Especially Gu Chuanbai, his temperament is too cold and unattainable, giving people a feeling of keeping away from strangers.
Lu Baiwei is thick-skinned because of her experiences in her previous life. In her previous life, she built such a huge family business for Yin Zhihe, and she has seen all kinds of rejections.
"Teacher Gu, we can go to the pharmacy to discuss business, but now that I have some free time, I want to show you this list I wrote out. Can your pharmacy get all these herbs and spices?"
Lu Baiwei handed the list to Gu Chuanbai.
Seeing the dozens of medicinal herbs and spices written on it, including cinnamon, star anise, fennel, nutmeg, pepper, etc., Gu Chuanbai looked at Lu Baiwei in surprise.
"For cooking?"
"Um!"
Lu Baiwei nodded: "Teacher Gu, you are really amazing. You can see it at a glance."
"It doesn't take that many spices and herbs to make medicine."
Gu Chuanbai asked Lu Baiwei: "How many of these do you want?"
"Let's start with a dozen pounds!"
What a big tone.
Gu Chuanbai was really surprised that Lu Baiwei wanted to buy so many medicinal herbs and spices at once.
He couldn't help but ask, "Did you buy it for the state-owned restaurant?"
"No, I'm planning to open a braised food restaurant."
Lu Baiwei told Gu Chuanbai: "There are two shops being decorated opposite the school, very close to the state-owned restaurant. I plan to open a braised food restaurant there."
It’s no wonder that Gu Chuanbai paid attention to Lu Baiwei. This student is really too eccentric.
I went to the pharmacy before and bought pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
Now she says she wants to open a braised food restaurant.
Gu Chuanbai hesitated to speak.
Lu Baiwei knew what Gu Chuanbai wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask. It was simply about which unit the restaurant was opened in cooperation with.
Anyway, this will no longer be a secret in the near future.
Lu Baiwei told the truth: "It's a private shop. The individual business license has been obtained from the Industry and Commerce Bureau."
Even someone as calm and cool as Gu Chuanbai was stunned when he heard the news.
His eyebrows raised slightly, and he seemed to be in a very good mood at this moment.
Gu Chuanbai promised Lu Baiwei: "Okay, give me the list and I will help you collect these spices and herbs."
"The price is uncertain right now. I will help control the cost..."
Lu Baiwei knew that asking Gu Chuanbai would be the solution. Sure enough, after she gave him the list of medicinal herbs she needed and marked the purchase quantity, Gu Chuanbai quickly got all the herbs and spices she wanted.
The prices of individual medicinal herbs and spices are cheaper than what you would find at the farmers' market, with only a few rare ones being a bit more expensive.
He Ting, Shen Junqian and others carried these spices back to the house on their bicycles. Then Lu Baiwei cut the gauze she had bought, divided it into portions by gram, and then sewed up the prepared marinade bags with needle and thread.
Of course, Tang Yunling was not allowed to participate in this matter.
Although the triplets have not been brought to the house yet, Zhao Lan has come to Bingjiao Hutong to help out these days because they need to help oversee the decoration of the shop.
"Weiwei, when will you pick up the triplets?"
Knowing that Lu Baiwei was going to ask Gu Min to look after the shop, Zhao Lan reminded her: "I think since you've asked your sister-in-law to help manage the shop, she should take over the decoration now. I'll help take care of the children in the future, and my focus must be on the triplets."
"She has to take over all the affairs of the shop, and I will just help out."
It is indeed necessary to let Gu Min take over as soon as possible, and the workers must be in place as soon as possible during the renovation of the shop.
All these need to be taken into consideration.
"Okay, second aunt, after you finish getting these spice bags, He Ting and I will go back to the compound to pick up some people. I told my sister-in-law a few days ago that I would go back to pick up a few children today."
"I'll take care of these. Your cousin will be able to help when she comes."
Zhao Lan urged her: "Go pick someone up first."
He Ting and Lu Baiwei rushed back to pick up the triplets. He Yunqi and Xiao Ranzi burst into tears when they learned that their younger siblings were leaving.
