Chapter 234 Restaurant Decoration
She wanted to ask more, but Taomanman had already been called away by Xu's mother.
"Manman, your stew is ready. If you don't take it away, it will overflow later."
"I'll come right away!"
Tao Manman responded to the kitchen, turned to Zhang Wenting and said, "I stewed it. "Snow pear and white fungus soup, you can drink some later."
In the kitchen, Tao Manman spread out a pile of bowls, poured some soup into each bowl, and distributed it to everyone present, and finally pretended to be so. Inadvertently given to Xu Maoyan.
"Well, weren't you muttering about wanting to drink snow pear and white fungus soup two days ago? I originally planned to make soup today, so I just cooked this. Can you try it and see how it tastes?"
After saying that, Taomanman looked expectant. He looked at Xu Maoyan.
Xu Maoyan thanked him, scooped some with a spoon and put it into his mouth.
The smile on his face froze instantly.
But looking at Tao Manman's expectant look, he could only bite the bullet and said: "It's not bad, you can drink some too."
"Okay, I'll have a taste too." Tao Manman waited for the soup to cool down, She picked up the bowl and took a big sip. The moment the snow pear and white fungus soup entered her mouth, her expression changed drastically. She couldn't wait to swallow it, found the nearest trash can, and vomited it all out.
"Bah, bah, bah, why is it salty!"
Knowing that Xu Maoyan likes sweet food, she deliberately added a few more spoons of sugar.
But who would have thought that because she was not familiar with the Xu family's kitchen, she would mistake salt for sugar and put it in the sugar.
"It's so salty that I can't drink it at all!" Tao Manman's face drooped.
Xu Wanning added: "And generally speaking, rock sugar should be added to stew soup. The sweetness of white sugar is not that high, and rock sugar will taste better."
Tao Manman curled his lips and scolded: "Then don't you Tell me earlier?" Xu Wanning
spread her hands, helpless and funny: "You didn't ask me before!"
"What about these soups?"
I went in and added a lot of white fungus.
Nowadays, except for Xu Maoyan and her who drank soup, no one else has touched it.
It would be such a waste to just throw it away like this.
"It's okay, just pour it all into the pot. I'll make it again and turn it into another dish."
Taomanman hurriedly took the pot out and poured all the untouched soup into it.
I don’t know what seasonings Xu Wanning added, but when the soup was brought out again, it turned out to have a different taste.
"It tastes so good."
"Then drink more, there's still a lot in the pot."
...
The next day.
After breakfast, Lin An drove Xu Wanning to the restaurant on his bicycle.
Looking at the three-story building in front of her, Xu Wanning simply didn't dare to recognize it.
"Is this really the house I bought from Mr. Xu?"
"Yes. You go in first and take a look at the decoration inside."
Lin An parked his bicycle against the wall, locked it, and walked in holding Xu Wanning's hand. .
The key was placed with Lin An. He opened the door with one hand. His vision suddenly widened, and Xu Wanning could see clearly what was inside the house.
"The house itself is old and has a quaint feel, so the decoration is based on this look. All the cabinets, tables, chairs, benches and other solid wood furniture that you can see here were all newly made by me. The styles are the most fashionable nowadays, and the quality is decent."
"And here, they are all made according to your ideas. You should take a look for yourself first and see if there is anything you are not satisfied with. We can do it as soon as possible before it opens. Replace it."
When the restaurant was handed over to Lin Yan for renovation, Xu Wanning only made a few requests.
First of all, I hope that the overall decoration style is simple but not simple.
Secondly, I hope that the lobby can accommodate as many tables as possible without making it appear crowded. The walls and doors of the box must be soundproofed.
Third, she needs to have a large cashier counter and a row of shelves on the wall behind the cashier counter.
Finally, the light must be bright.
It sounds like a few simple requirements, but in fact it is very complicated to operate.
Therefore, Xu Wanning's original plan was to complete the decoration of the restaurant within three to five months during the summer vacation, so that she could take advantage of the summer vacation to prepare for the opening.
I didn't expect Lin An to be so talented. In just two months, the house was decorated exactly according to her ideas.
Xu Wanning looked around the restaurant several times, both upstairs and downstairs, but couldn't find anything dissatisfying.
This restaurant was decorated exactly according to her wishes.
She was very satisfied.
In fact, Xu Wanning wanted to reopen the restaurant in her previous life. In this way, she would have a link between her two lives.
But it is not yet the 1980s, and the world in this book has only just allowed free buying and selling, and the living standards of the people have not yet completely improved.
She can't stand alone.
So as not to be regarded as different.
This is the best.
"When the solid wood furniture was first built, the smell was still a bit strong. I asked Dongzi to come here every day to disperse the smell. Now I guess there is no smell anymore. We can open at any time."
Lin An looked at Xu Wanning with burning eyes, "So An Ning, when do you plan to open?"
Today is Thursday. Xu Wanning has less than four days of vacation, so she can make preparations first.
"If you want to open a business, you must first hire reliable chefs with good cooking skills, and waiters must also be trained first. Let's recruit people first, wait for them to be in place, and after training, we can start business. Now."
When she thought that her restaurant was about to open, Xu Wanning was eager to try it.
Then, her expression dropped again.
"But we only have four days. Where can we find suitable chefs and waiters?"
"Sister-in-law, we are here!"
Dongzi's loud voice came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a family of three came in together.
"Aren't you setting up a stall selling noodles in the east of the city? Why are you here?"
"When I was passing by just now, I saw the door of our restaurant opened. I thought Brother Dongzi was here, but I didn't expect to see my sister-in-law. "
Dongzi suddenly opened up the chat room and told Xu Wanning about his and Cuifen's income during this period.
Ever since they made a fortune selling noodles years ago, the couple never let themselves be idle. After the Chinese New Year, they took the train to Beijing again.
This time they also brought Geng Ming with them.
Now that Geng Ming can speak, although not truly, he can at least express what he means, which makes Cuifen less busy. She takes care of her children and sells noodles at the same time.
However, the cost of setting up a stall is low and the profit is high. Many people are jealous when they see Dongzi and Cuifen making money, and they set up stalls one after another.
He blatantly competed with Dongzi and his wife for business.
