Chapter 224 The store is completely renovated
Chen You didn't hand it over, "You'd better not do it, your injury hasn't healed yet."
Under the rules of the plane, his injuries will not recover faster than those of ordinary people.
"Don't use force with your left hand." Wen Zhi smiled and picked up the spare shovel she had placed aside.
"Then dig gently and don't damage anything valuable." Chen You felt relieved when she saw that his wound did not bleed much.
It was not difficult to clear the snow, as due to the weather, the snow here was relatively soft. After shoveling away the gravel and soil underneath, you could see the artificially paved stone slabs on the ancient road.
After so many years, the mountain has changed, and even the stone slabs will break and shift.
Chen You had been eating a lot during this period, and he treated it as fitness. Not long after, the alarm clock rang.
Chen You called Wen Zhi home. He took off his down jacket and sent him a message. Looking at the ancient costume on Wen Zhi, Chen You quickly asked him to go upstairs first.
The person coming to give New Year gifts is almost at the door.
Wait until she temporarily closes the entrance to Da Qi, and then open the door to the present world.
The black car slowly stopped, and it was Wu Zhiyuan who came.
First there was some business pleasantries.
"Boss Shen, I haven't seen you for a while. You look so beautiful again. Why are you sweating so much in this cold winter?"
Chen You looked at the other person's puzzled eyes, then looked down at her home clothes and said, "I'm doing some house cleaning at home. I haven't put my things away yet, so it's a bit messy. Don't mind."
"How can that be possible? If you find anything you don't want, you can give it to me. I've been eyeing it for a long time."
He said this half-jokingly and asked the driver to help him move the box in the back.
When I opened it, I saw that it was seafood. The quality looked very good and it was still alive, not the frozen ones found online.
King crab, grouper, and several types of shrimp.
Chen You poured him the best tea in the store and said, "This gift is too expensive."
Jiangcheng is not a coastal city, and live wild seafood is not cheap and hard to buy, so it is basically transported by air.
"A friend of mine runs a seafood business, and he brought some here for the New Year." Wu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "Just in time for the New Year's Eve dinner."
Every family attaches great importance to the New Year’s Eve dinner, especially those who are not short of money, as it is full of ritual and atmosphere, and good things must be prepared.
He personally delivers the item to you, and it’s something that’s hard to buy, so he shows his sincerity.
Afterwards, they chatted about Jiang He's spring auction next year. Wu Zhiyuan looked at the two carvings that Chen You wanted to borrow, as well as her treasured bronze mirror, and said they were great things. The last time he saw them was in a museum or at an auction abroad.
The one at the auction can't compare to this.
When he saw the gold-threaded jade plate that Chen You had just taken out and placed on the table, he took a deep breath.
"You want this plate?"
"I like this one very much. I thought I'd take it out and put some candy on it during the Chinese New Year."
After hearing what Shen You said, he noticed the supermarket plastic bags on the shelf next to him.
Boss Shen is really willing to use such a beautiful thing. She uses it to store sugar? ? ?
It is placed in his house and framed in a display cabinet, and you have to wear gloves to touch it.
Wu Zhiyuan said that he had something else to do, and soon said goodbye to Chen You, saying that he would not delay her from setting up the shop and would visit again after the New Year.
He wanted to ask Chen You for help with something, which shouldn't be a difficult task for Chen You, but tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so he definitely wouldn't ask at this time.
After Wu Zhiyuan left, Chen You and Wen Zhi moved the boxes of seafood to the second floor together.
"It looks delicious!" She nodded and closed the lid.
It should be fine to keep it in this weather until tomorrow.
The next step was to get busy with the arrangements. Chen You cut the plum branches with flower buds that she had picked from Xiyuan yesterday into the appropriate length and put them into a ceramic jar.
Such a beautiful branch shape, with so many flowers, would cost about one or two hundred yuan if I went to the flower and bird market during the Chinese New Year.
There are also Chinese flowers that were delivered earlier, but they have not yet been trimmed and put into the vase.
During the Chinese New Year, it is suitable to put some fresh flowers and trees in the house. Once the weather gets hot, Chenyou will no longer put real flowers because they will easily attract small flying insects.
Speaking of buying flowers, she had been cheated before. She was told to buy fresh branches, but the seller sent her a bundle of 'firewood', and the variety was not even right!
If she wasn't a flower grower, she would have been fooled if she could recognize it.
Chen You sent a message to ask about it at that time, and the customer service refused to admit that the variety was wrong, but agreed to return the product.
Be careful when buying flowers online; there are fakes everywhere these days.
Wen Zhi sat at the tea table, ground the Hui ink, and paused as he held the wolf-hair brush. "Are you sure you want to write something to show your determination in the new year?"
Does it sound like a serious couplet?
"Actually, I've found another one who makes a lot of money. Well, it's better to get richer day by day." Chen You said solemnly.
"Okay, what font should we use this time?" Wen Zhiyan looked at her with a smile.
Chen You: "Let's keep it in Xiaozhuan. We'll change to something else next year."
Hearing her say next year, Wen Zhi responded, with a hint of expectation in his eyes under his trembling eyelashes.
The red paper that Chen You bought had a gold-based pattern on it, which looked quite rich, and paired with the simple and ancient small seal script, it felt pretty good.
All the vases were replaced with the latest flowers, the window grilles were made with cultural and creative products from the museum, and authentic exquisite ancient lanterns were hung.
Chen You deliberately kept the rolling lamp and did not replace it with the electronic candle. She had never played with it before. It could rotate 360 degrees, and it would feel a little less interesting if the electronic candle was replaced.
The task looked simple, but it took a whole morning to complete it from beginning to end.
I also cleaned up the antique display cabinet and replaced a few items. After looking at the same arrangement for a long time, I always wanted to shuffle it around.
"Is the lantern straight?" Wen Zhi asked while standing on a household ladder.
Chen You was responsible for standing below while chewing the egg yolk pastry to check the angle, "A little more to the left, just a little bit, that's it!"
The two of them, one wearing ancient costume with a high ponytail, and the other wearing modern home clothes with a wooden hairpin on her head, appear in the same picture, not only not abrupt, but very harmonious.
With the cooperation of the two, the feeling in the shop was completely new, full of the lively and warm New Year atmosphere.
Finally, clean up the sundries and packaging bags on the tea table, and put sugar on the gold-threaded jade plate.
The colorful packaging instantly makes it look ugly.
Chen You thought about it, poured the sugar into the lacquer box and put it together with the nuts, then picked up the Chinese pastries in the box and placed them on the plate for comparison. This was it.
Do this for now, and put the pastries on there tomorrow morning. They will get dirty easily if left outside for too long.
After finishing everything, I went upstairs to have lunch, a simple meal of cabbage and tofu soup, fried beef, and steamed shrimp.
However, Chen You felt that this was the happiest meal she had had during this period. She was at home, able to look at the scenery outside the window, wearing loose and comfortable clothes, with the only employee in the shop sitting opposite her. She had voluntarily signed a permanent contract.
The key is to look good.
Having money, free time, three meals a day all year round, and being able to do what she likes is the life she wants.
For Wen Zhi, being able to see Chen You in the lonely and cold north, sitting down with her to have a meal and waiting for the New Year was what he wanted.
