In the morning, Jiang Zhining went out early and went to choose a store with Shen Weilu.
The barbecue business is currently good, and the current hot pot restaurant cannot accommodate so many customers.
Therefore, Jiang Zhining needs to open a branch as soon as possible and not miss the money-making opportunity in the summer.
She hopes to complete the renovation of the new store within a month so that it can open in May and catch the best barbecue season.
“Sister, what kind of store do you want? Do you want it to be lively like a hot pot restaurant?” Shen Weilu asked curiously.
"No. Previously, we wanted to build a reputation and attract customers, so we had to choose a busy street."
Hearing this answer, Shen Weilu nodded: "Yes, then this barbecue restaurant can be chosen from a remote one. Good wine is not afraid of a narrow alley."
"That's true. But choosing a barbecue restaurant is still a bit tricky."
As they were talking, Jiang Zhining and Shen Weilu came to a bridge.
Jiang Zhining stopped and looked towards the bridge. There happened to be a shop there with a sign written on it in red paper: Shop for rent.
"Let's go over there and take a look." Jiang Zhining turned and walked in.
When they arrived at the store, Jiang Zhining explained her purpose.
Then, under the guidance of the proprietress, Jiang Zhining visited the store.
There was an open space next to the shop, and next to the river. Standing there, a breeze blew, which was quite cool.
Jiang Zhining approved of the store, so she gave an intended price and asked Shen Weilu to bargain.
She was outside the store, thinking about how to maximize the utilization of her surroundings.
Ten minutes later, Shen Weilu told her that the price of the store had been negotiated.
“Sister, why do you like it here?” Shen Weilu was puzzled.
"It's very cool here in the summer. It's a very pleasant thing to eat barbecue, feel the breeze, and drink some cold beer."
Jiang Zhining said, pointing to the place where they were, "If business is good, we can set up tables here, and we can also set up tables by the river. So, if you calculate it this way, the rent of this shop is very cost-effective."
Listening to his explanation, Shen Weilu’s eyes were full of admiration: “It’s true, sister, you are so amazing.”
Jiang Zhining was a little embarrassed: "I am just summarizing the experience of my predecessors."
"who?"
Jiang Zhining smiled but said nothing. After all, some things are better left untouched.
After signing the lease contract, Jiang Zhining asked Shen Weilu to find someone to redecorate the store.
There used to be a small shop here, so it wasn't difficult to convert it.
Since it is a barbecue restaurant, the main things that need to be renovated are the kitchen and the treatment of oil fumes.
Jiang Zhining wanted to help Shen Weilu grow, so she gave him the design drawings and told him all the precautions for decoration, and then put all the related matters of decoration in his charge.
By the time we finished working on the new store, it was already noon.
When the two returned to the hot pot restaurant, they saw Shen Yueyue holding a sack and standing cautiously outside the store.
"Yueyue." Shen Weilu stepped forward.
Hearing the voice, Shen Yueyue raised her head. Seeing the two of them, her face immediately filled with smiles: "Brother, sister."
Shen Weilu ran forward: “You are here.”
"Yes, I came here in the morning. The girl in the store told me that you two were out, so I waited here." Shen Yueyue said with a smile.
Jiang Zhining stood beside Shen Weilu: "Sister, why don't you wait in the store?"
Shen Yueyue looked at her worn-out flowered jacket and felt a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid of dirtying the shop."
Jiang Zhining smiled lightly: "What does it matter? Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go in and have some hot pot."
Shen Yueyue's eyes lit up: "Okay."
Just now she was envious when she saw the guests eating.
As soon as I entered the store, Li Furong came over enthusiastically: "Zhi Ning, how is your search for a new store going?"
"It has been rented. The next step is decoration. It should be open in a month." Jiang Zhining replied with a smile.
"You're really efficient." Li Furong gave a thumbs-up. "Who is this girl?"
"She is my sister." Jiang Zhining explained simply.
Upon hearing this, Li Furong and everyone in the store were surprised.
"Your sister, she doesn't look like her. I thought she was your relative." Li Furong looked Shen Yueyue up and down and said.
Shen Yueyue was wearing a worn-out coarse linen shirt, and her face had a bit of high altitude red. It was obvious that she was from the countryside, and she looked nothing like Jiang Zhining.
Hearing this, Shen Yueyue lowered her head uncomfortably.
"She is my biological sister. It's just that I was taken away by mistake when I was a child, so I have been living in the Jiang family ever since." Jiang Zhining explained.
"Yes, yes, I forgot about this. You guys sit down, I'll go prepare the soup base." Li Furong said, and went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
Seeing this, Shen Yueyue apologized softly: “Sister, did I embarrass you?”
"No, don't think too much. After dinner, I'll take you to buy some clothes. I'll let my brother take you to North City to play for two days. Then we'll see if you want to work in the workshop or help out here."
Jiang Zhining had never felt the love of family in her previous life, but she felt it from the Shen family in this life.
Therefore, she wanted to help them to the best of her ability and achieve common prosperity.
"Yes, Yueyue, if you work hard with Zhining, it will be much better than staying in our village." Shen Weilu agreed.
Shen Yueyue looked at Shen Weilu and said with a smile: “Brother, you are so fashionable. You are more handsome than Xiaojun in the village with this outfit.”
Shen Weilu naturally knew his changes, changed his clothes, and became more confident. He no longer felt that he was useless and had no future.
Shen Weilu said sincerely: “This is all thanks to Zhi Ning. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be who I am now.”
Seeing his changes, Shen Yueyue's eyes became warm when she looked at Jiang Zhining.
This time when she went into the city and saw the prosperity of the city and the well-dressed customers in the store, she thought, it would be great if she could stay in the city forever and live a well-off life like those people.
As Li Furong brought the pot base and vegetables, Jiang Zhining began to eat.
Shen Yueyue imitated Jiang Zhining and Shen Weilu to eat hot pot. When she put the food in her mouth, her eyes widened: "It's so delicious."
Shen Weilu hot a piece of mutton roll for her: "If it's not delicious, how can the business of the store be so good. Plus, this is Zhi Ning's secret base, everyone who wants to eat it can only come to our store."
Shen Yueyue watched Jiang Zhining eat elegantly and calmly, admiration flashing in her eyes.
She didn't expect that a woman could be as powerful as Jiang Zhining.
"Sister, can I really stay in Beicheng?" Shen Yueyue looked at her nervously.
Jiang Zhining smiled: "Sure, you can stay and work in my shop. Go to the workshop first, and make the base or do the packaging. We'll see. When the barbecue restaurant opens, you can go there to be a cashier or waiter, it's up to you."
Shen Yueyue nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "I will listen to you."
The three of them chatted while eating. This meal was the most filling and satisfying one Shen Yueyue had ever had.
