The news that Yi Ji's shop had been bought spread quickly among the neighbors. Even the regular diners knew about this happy event and wanted to ask for good luck and share in the good fortune.

It was a rare opportunity to meet a business traveler from another province. After hearing the boss and the diners talking about such happy events, he couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's amazing! Hong Kong is really a place where you can make a lot of money. They say there's gold everywhere, and it seems to be true. How many years will it take to buy out the floor space of an ice cream parlor like this?"

"The money I earned from running the ice cream parlor to buy out the floor space is not from me. It's from my sister who risked her life to earn it." Yi Jiadong smiled and waved his hand, then pointed to the newspapers on the wall. "You're a stranger. Didn't you know that my sister is a famous female detective in Hong Kong?"

"Wow, that's even more amazing!" The business traveler looked up at the wall, and saw that the wall was covered with photos of delicious food and price lists. In addition to these things related to ice cream parlors, there were also some newspapers.

After the boss pointed it out, he realized that these newspapers were not just for covering up dirty things, but to show off the achievements of his family members to the diners.

From the news about the policewoman in the newspaper, he actually saw a few report cards and the top ten student awards.

Yi Jiadong saw his gaze and immediately explained: "I have two sisters and a brother, they are all excellent, hahaha."

"The boss is also excellent." The business traveler has a high EQ and was given a cup of smooth silk stocking milk tea by Boss Yi.

After placing the order, the business traveler suddenly remembered the Hong Kong dim sum his friends had recommended to him, and he hurriedly added: "Boss, do you have barbecued pork buns? I heard that--"

Yi Jiadong waved his hand to stop him, and the surroundings instantly rang out protests such as "No!" and "Don't let me hear that word!" The

business traveler stopped abruptly and looked around in shock, not knowing whether he had violated any Hong Kong customs. His eyes were wide open, revealing a bit of nervousness and panic.

Yi Jiadong smiled apologetically, walked to the business traveler and whispered: "The store doesn't serve that in the past few months. How many days will you stay on this business trip?"

"Four days." The business traveler made a 4.

Yi Jiadong waved his hands and said, "I can't eat it anymore. I can't eat it anymore. Let's try it next time when we come to Hong Kong."

The business traveler nodded and instantly felt that Hong Kong was such a mysterious place. Some foods would not be available for a few months. Even if they were mentioned in the store, the diners would show disgusted and disgusted expressions.

So mysterious! So mysterious!

After entertaining the business traveler, Yi Jiadong was busy for a long time, and suddenly another customer came.

He looked up at the clock. It was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still diners.

After greeting them, he found that it was a designer from a home interior design store on the east street, who came with his assistant.

Clara, who came to help at noon, poured two glasses of water for the two of them, and then went to the back kitchen to prepare dinner ingredients for Yi Jiadong.

Yi Jiadong sat opposite the designer. After a brief chat, he learned that the other party had heard about someone owning a shop here while playing mahjong with the landlady.

"Since I just bought a new shop, I have to renovate it. This shop has been around for more than ten years, right? It's time to renovate it. Nowadays, range hoods, tables, chairs, and various tableware have been updated for many generations. Even an old shop that attracts repeat customers must keep up with the times." The designer seemed to have received the floor plan of this shop a long time ago, and he actually took out two simple design drawings. He

was sincere in wanting to do business with Yi Jiadong.

"...build a set of solid wood cabinets over there to bring in wealth and fortune. Replace this with a set of bamboo doors, it will be very elegant..." The designer introduced his design concept to Yi Jiadong while standing up and marking what to do and what to change in the shop.

He kept saying that he was considering the boss, but Clara heard it as all about stealing money and cash.

Before Yi Jiadong could say anything, the impatient Clara had already thrown the half-washed lettuce into the sink, walked out with her hands on her waist, and said angrily:

"If you change it the way you want, put a cabinet here, a folding door there, and add a counter there, will there be room for customers to sit in this shop? How much is the folding door? How much is the cabinet? How much is the counter? Do you want to fill up the shop with the things you sell?"

"How can you talk like that?" The designer laughed and turned to ask Yi Jiadong: "Is this the boss's wife or the waiter? It's quite fierce."

"Don't worry about who I am, just take the things you cheated me with and get out." Clara immediately yelled at him when she heard that this man was holding a gun and a stick and swearing. She had never been so angry before.

Yi Jiadong smiled with his lips pursed, and said nothing. He just watched Clara and the designer quarreling for a while, and then she "sent" the two of them out of the Yiji gate.

But in the evening, the designer came again.

Yi Jiadong had to refuse, saying he would discuss it with his sister-in-law first. The designer recalled the embarrassment of being kicked out by Clara at noon, and immediately said unhappily:

"Boss Yi, you are the pillar of this family. How can you be controlled by those women and children? You should be the one making the decisions."

Before he finished speaking, Yi Jiadong had no time to respond when a clear voice came from outside the door:

"What's the matter? How did those women and children offend you?"

Yi Jiadong stuck his head out and found that Jiayi and the agents from Team B came to have dinner.

Clara dismissed the other table and immediately came over to scold the two designers, "The shop is very busy now, can you please stop making trouble?"

"Your shop needs to be renovated, so why not let me do this business. If you are not satisfied with my previous design, let's discuss it again to see if there are other plans that can satisfy you." The designer held his folder and still refused to give up.

Jiayi groaned, took out a folder from her bag, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that your business is gone."

After that, she turned to her eldest brother and said:

"Brother, I drew a simple design. Take a look. Let's discuss it with Qin Xiaolei and find two of his former friends on the construction site to build the shop together. How about it?"

Yi Jiadong took Jiayi's hand-drawn design draft and schematic diagram, and found that although the drawing was very rough and not professional. But the length, width, and height of the house were clearly marked, and what to put, what to do, and what to do were written in a logical way.

When he met Jiayi's eyes, he couldn't help but feel proud again: Sure enough, the smart sister did everything well.

"Remove the counter, and you can put another table here. Redo this counter, put some wine and drinks on it for display, and put a small table below to serve as a counter. Build another cabinet under the counter and put some sundries inside."

Jiayi gestured boldly, then turned to the beverage counter and passage leading to the back kitchen and said,

"We don't need anything here, just open a small door here on the side leading to the back kitchen.

" "Make a large glass window here to separate the back kitchen from the front hall. The kitchen stove and range hood are all placed here. Big brother will cook facing the diners in the front hall in the future to show everyone how tidy and clean our back kitchen is, and that food safety is 100% guaranteed."

"It sounds so bright, transparent, and spacious." Clara put a plate of roasted pork rice on the guest table and came closer to praise.

"I didn't expect that Eleventh Sister also has a deep understanding of house design. "Liu Jiaming handed a pack of tissues to the diners at the table at the door, then turned around and did not forget to praise Jiayi.

"Besides, when big brother finishes cooking, he can hand the dishes out through a small window on this glass window.

"This is the chef's window, and this is the drink window. They are side by side, separated, and do not interfere with each other.

"The chef and waiter's work areas are completely separated. Neither of them needs to go in and out of the front hall and the back kitchen, which can improve efficiency."

After Jiayi indicated the work flow, she said:

"In this way, the aisle can be made into a back kitchen cooking space, and the original back kitchen space can be saved.

"Sun Xin's room can be expanded and renovated to become a complete small studio, and at the same time, it can also be a pure storage warehouse. In this way, these spaces can be used more rationally, and our kitchen, small studio, storage, etc. will become larger."

As she spoke, Jiayi's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the yard:

"The back yard can also be covered with a glass cover, and our refrigerator, freezer, etc. can be placed in the yard, saving space again!"

In this way, the back kitchen will be as large as a large kitchen, and even if more dishes need to be cooked, there will be enough tables, counters, and stoves.

Yi Jiadong listened, and his eyes gradually filled with hope.

Jiayi's decoration direction made him full of expectations for the future. What an excellent new working environment it would be. A large, bright and clean kitchen is the dream of every person who loves cooking.

"Besides, I always think that my brother's cooking is a scene worth appreciating.

"Pour the green vegetables into the pot, stir the wok gracefully, let the vegetables be coated with oil, become greener and more cooked. The iron spatula turns in a big circle in the pot, stirs it twice... The raw food becomes delicious food, and it is scooped into a beautiful plate with a swish, and then passed from the waiter to the diners' tables, bringing happy smiles to the diners.

"I think it is a kind of happiness whether the diners are sitting in the hall and watching the chef cook while waiting for the meal, or seeing the diners' enjoyment of the food after the chef cooks."

The diners will be more looking forward to the food, and the chefs will get more positive feedback.

Therefore, in these decoration schemes, the face-to-face communication between diners and chefs on both sides of the huge glass wall is the soul of this design.

"The key is that Brother Yi is still so handsome. The diners can see the food and the handsome guy, and can see with their own eyes that the food they are about to eat is cooked with the best ingredients. It is really a 200% excellent design."

Uncle Jiu pinched his chin, turned his head and nodded to Jiayi, complimenting:

"Sister Eleven is quite knowledgeable, and her ideas are amazing."

"It's my own shop, so I designed it with my heart." Jiayi laughed and accepted Uncle Jiu's compliment, with a blush on her face.

Yi Jiadong pursed his lips and looked at his sister. His heart began to surge again. His eyes were hurt again and turned slightly red.

He has always loved cooking. He gets a great sense of accomplishment when he selects the freshest vegetables from a vegetable stall. In the corresponding season, he selects the most seasonal meat and ingredients, allowing diners and family members to taste the best flavor of each vegetable. Hearing them say that the food they eat in his Yiji is different from that in other stores, more delicious and more fragrant... He also feels a great sense of satisfaction...

But he often thinks that this is relative to his own happiness.

In the eyes of others, what he does should be trivial and boring. Many scholars even say that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. A real man should not get close to the kitchen full of trivial things and oil smoke, and never touch raw ducks, blood, and fishy things...

But he didn't expect that in the eyes of his sister, his profession, which is not known to outsiders, is as magical as magic.

It is beautiful and unrestrained. It is a skill that needs to be shown to others, otherwise it would be a pity.

It is like singing and dancing, which is worth being appreciated by everyone.

Isn't it that not only his sister is beautiful, smart and powerful in his eyes, but also he, an ordinary chef brother, is also very powerful and unrestrained in the eyes of his sister and brothers?

Some things are not worth thinking about deeply. The more you think about it, the more you want to cry.

All the efforts to hold back the tears just now were in vain, and the round eyes similar to Jiayi, Jiaru and Jiajun were suddenly filled with mist.

The tears that the chef had held back could no longer be held back at this moment.

How could the chef suddenly cry when the diners in the room were all waiting for the delicious food?

Sanfu saw Yi Jiadong's appearance, laughed and walked over to hug Yi Jiadong's shoulders.

They were obviously two people of the same height, but their temperaments were so different.

But at this moment, no one laughed at Jiadong's soft heart and love to cry, everyone just envied him and respected him. Not only did they want to take advantage of the joy of Yi's shop, but also take advantage of his good luck in life.

"In the future, if Sun Xin wants to learn how to cry when filming, he has to come back to Yi Ji and sit for a while, and watch Jia Dong's performance through the big glass cover!" Liu Jiaming suddenly made an inappropriate joke.

"You are the only one with a big mouth!" This ruined the beautiful atmosphere.

Uncle Jiu slapped Liu Jiaming on the back of his neck, making him scream. Actually, Uncle Jiu didn't use any strength at all. Liu Jiaming just pretended to make Jia Dong laugh.

Yi Jiadong wiped away his tears, held his sister's design draft, and nodded vigorously:

"Okay, okay, let's pretend like this. I'll go find Qin Xiaolei and discuss how to find someone to help."

"Okay, Jia Dong, I'm hungry." Liu Jiaming touched his stomach.

Yi Jiadong smiled and said, "I'll do it now."

"Then don't cry secretly, otherwise the food we eat will be salty." Liu Jiaming still didn't let Yi Jiadong go.

"Haha, don't worry." Yi Jiadong wiped his face embarrassedly and ran back to the kitchen.

Gary looked at Jiadong's back and whispered to Jiayi, "I'm afraid that your design draft will be framed by Brother Yi and kept as a collection forever."

"That makes sense, it will definitely be!" Sanfu also nodded.

Everyone laughed again. Jiayi sat among her colleagues, smiling sweetly.

…

The designer who had just stood at the door and wanted to promote his products pursed his lips, secretly wrote down Jiayi's ideas, and quietly left the store.

Other people have such talented people at home, so he really can't make this much money.

After the two designers left, only diners were left in Yi Ji. Yi Jiadong and Clara were busy going back and forth between the kitchen and the front hall.

Xu Shaowei sat at the innermost of the round table, watching everyone happily chatting.

Every agent in Team B seemed to be a memorable family member. One said that he still had two buckets of paint from the previous renovation and would move them over tomorrow; another said that while the renovation was underway, he could call on his friends and brothers to come over to help with bricklaying and taking out the trash; even Wagner said that he knew a friend who sold building materials very cheaply and could help him get the best goods and the cheapest prices...

He pursed his lips and exhaled quietly.

When Liu Jiaming suddenly called his name and asked him to come over and help with everyone on their day off, he nodded without hesitation.

At this moment, he seemed to have completely integrated into this big family and gradually became their reliable "brother".

When picking up the chopsticks, Xu Shaowei saw his blurry face in the reflection of the tea, as if he was smiling.
