Chapter 26 Zeng Sibai's Plan 2
Having dinner at Gu Laoer’s house in the evening.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so sad? Were you bullied by the teacher?" Gu Leyou asked.
After hearing their daughter say this, Gu Haixiong and his wife noticed that something was wrong with their son. Lin also asked, "Son, if someone bullies you, you must tell your parents. Although our family is an honest one, we can't let others bully us."
Gu Leshu shook his head and explained, "I wasn't bullied, I just don't want to go to the teacher anymore. If I don't pay the teacher tuition, I will feel bad if the teacher always teaches me for free. Instead of this, I might as well stay at home and help you with some work."
"How could I not pay the tuition to the teacher? Didn't I give the tuition to my mother?"
Lin said, "I will just send it to the teacher tomorrow. It's too late today and I'm afraid too many people will see it and gossip about it."
However, Gu Leshu emphasized, "Whether you pay the tuition or not, I don't want to go. If I continue like this, my classmates will find out sooner or later, and then I won't even dare to leave the house."
Gu Leyou suddenly stood up and walked to his brother and comforted him, "It's okay. As long as we pay the tuition, it doesn't matter if they know. If it doesn't work, we can wait until we save enough money. I will send you to the school in town, away from those bad kids in the village, and you can study with peace of mind."
Gu Leshu nodded.
After dinner, Gu Leyou. Help mother wash the dishes.
After washing the dishes, she came to her brother's door and knocked.
"Ashu, can I come in?" Gu Leyou asked.
"Come in, sister." Gu Leshu responded.
After getting permission, Gu Leyou opened the door and walked in, still holding the books in his hands.
She sat down beside her brother's bed and handed him the book.
"These books are for you. I hope you will study hard."
Gu Leshu took the books from his sister's hands and was surprised.
"Sister, thank you. I have wanted these books for a long time, but our family doesn't have that much money, so I never told my parents. I didn't expect you to buy them for me today. I promise you that I will study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible." Gu Leshu promised seriously.
Gu Leyou touched his brother's head with relief.
"Please help your sister and write something. I can use it."
"Okay, sister."
Gu Leshu immediately put the book aside, took out a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and asked, "Sister, tell me what you want to write, and I will help you write it."
"Then I'll talk and you write."
"good."
"The first thing is to prepare funds for renting a venue, purchasing ingredients, cooking utensils and tableware, etc. The venue is critical and should be located in a place with a large flow of people, such as near a market, a pier or a busy street.
Gu Leyou said a few words, and Gu Leshu looked puzzled and asked: "Sister, why are you writing these things? Are you going to open a store?"
"You are just a little kid, don't ask too many questions. This is none of your business. I will continue talking while you write."
"Oh, okay." Gu Leshu continued writing.
In terms of personnel, you need to hire skilled chefs, as well as waiters to entertain guests, serve food, clean and other matters.
"Sister, are you sure you don't want to open a restaurant? You have to let me know about the chefs and other things. If you open a restaurant, remember to tell our parents." Gu Leshu couldn't help but remind her.
"No, just write it for me quickly. Stop talking nonsense. I haven't finished yet." Gu Leyou urged impatiently.
The purchasing channels of ingredients are also very important, and freshness must be ensured. Generally, they establish stable supply relationships with local farmers, butchers, etc. Moreover, different restaurants need to prepare corresponding special ingredients according to the cuisine they serve.
Cooking utensils and tableware are the basic configuration of a restaurant. Stoves, pots, pans, etc. are all essential.
At the same time, the restaurant must also consider the store sign and come up with a name that is easy to remember and reflects the characteristics of the restaurant to attract customers. ”
Gu Leshu had no choice but to help her finish the rest, writing two full pages.
After Gu Leshu finished writing, he handed it to his sister. Gu Leyou couldn't understand many words, so he took the paper and told his brother: "This is our secret. Don't tell our parents or outsiders. You will know it later."
After listening to his sister's instructions, Gu Leshu became more certain that his sister wanted to open a restaurant. He didn't dare tell his parents that he wanted to do it secretly. However, his sister didn't have any money. Could it be that she wanted to form a partnership with her future brother-in-law? It seemed that this was the only explanation that made sense.
The next day, after breakfast, while everyone was working in the fields and her brother was studying, she took what her brother had written yesterday and prepared to go to Lin Village to look for Brother Zhang.
She thought about it all night and decided to partner with Brother Zhang.
After all, what Brother Lu said does make sense, but there is really no guarantee that you can make money.
What Brother Zhang said makes sense. Unless she becomes a partner with him, since he makes money, then she will also make money as a partner.
So, she took her things and went out. This time she walked a little fast. After all, it would take at least half an hour to walk from his house to Brother Zhang's house.
If we encounter someone along the way and get delayed, it might take even longer.
However, she was lucky when she went out today. She only met some uncles and aunts, and some gossiping aunties along the way. She didn't meet anyone she didn't want to meet.
Arrived safely at Brother Zhang's house.
Brother Zhang had just arrived home. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Brother Zhang came back with a basket of fish.
"Brother Zhang, you're back. Why did you go so early today? The river will be frozen in a while, so you have to be careful."
"Sister, now that you're here, why don't you ask your sister-in-law to open the door?" Brother Zhang said as he knocked on the door.
His wife quickly came to open the door, "I'm coming."
"Boss, you're back. I've prepared dinner, let's eat. Sister, you're here too, please come in."
The three of them were having dinner, and Gu Leyou was with them.
Brother Zhang asked, "Sister, have you eaten? You came to see me so early in the morning, so you must not have eaten. Let's eat together and taste your sister-in-law's cooking."
"No need, Brother Zhang, I've already eaten. I still have something to talk to you about after you finish your meal." Gu Leyou said.
"Okay, let's eat first and have a good chat after dinner."
After dinner, Mrs. Zhang cleared the dishes and went to wash them.
Gu Leyou stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute. Sit down and talk with me. There's no rush to wash the dishes."
Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to put down her bowl and chopsticks, and then the three of them sat around the small dining table and started chatting.
Gu Leyou took out his brother's things from his pocket and handed them to Brother Zhang.
Unfortunately, Brother Zhang was illiterate and could not understand what was written on it, so he showed it to his wife.
