Chapter 252 Zhuyunzhai
"I heard that you bought a shop nearby. What are you planning to do with it? Are you planning to do something related to food?"
"Yes, but it's still under renovation and not ready yet. Meng Niang gave birth to a baby, so we plan to open it after the Chinese New Year."
"Really? But your wife's cooking skills are very good, so the business won't be bad either. The weather is good today, take me to have a look." Mr. Shen said after wiping his mouth after finishing his breakfast.
There was naturally no reason for Gu Yunyi not to accept the offer, so he supported his master and walked out. Xu Qingmeng was cleaning up in the kitchen at this time. When she saw the two of them coming out, she walked out of the kitchen.
Gu Yunyi said that the gentleman wanted to visit the shops on Elm Street, and then led the way.
However, the name of the shop has not been decided yet, but the decoration inside the shop is almost completed.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Mr. Shen asked.
Xu Qingmeng scratched his head and said, "Not yet, sir? I have thought of a few, but I haven't decided yet."
"Really? Tell me about it. I'll give you some advice."
"Yage, Xiangmanlou, Junyuelou."
"They are all good!" Mr. Shen said after listening.
"Meng Niang thinks they are all good, so she is in a dilemma." Gu Yunyi said to Xu Qingmeng lovingly.
"So that's how it is!" The gentleman couldn't help laughing.
Xu Qingmeng pinched Gu Yunyi's arm embarrassedly.
"Zhuyunzhai, what do you think?" Mr. Shen said, looking at them.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi both nodded, thinking that the gentleman's idea was very good. They thought that the gentleman must like it very much, otherwise he would not have mentioned naming the shop, and would not have looked at the empty space for calligraphy and paintings and offered to help write a few paintings.
Xu Qingmeng agreed without thinking, as there were still many places that needed to hang calligraphy and paintings. Gu Yunyi had originally planned to do it himself, but after having a child, he had less time. If he really had to wait for himself, who knows how long he would have to wait.
Moreover, Mr. Shen, as a Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations twice and is also Gu Yunyi's teacher, should have better calligraphy and painting than Gu Yunyi's, right?
Moreover, it is mentioned in the book that many literati and scholars admire Mr. Shen very much. If Mr. Shen's calligraphy and paintings are hung there, many people will come to Zhuyunzhai to see his calligraphy and paintings. This can be regarded as an invisible publicity!
Later, Xu Qingmeng went back to Gu's house because she had to go back to feed the little one, leaving Gu Yunyi alone to accompany Mr. Shen for a walk.
When Gu Yunyi returned home, Xu Qingmeng saw him and was surprised why the master did not come with him.
"The gentleman said he wanted to try Xiaoyu's cooking, so he didn't come along." Xu Qingmeng understood.
"But~"
Xu Qingmeng looked at him in surprise, "But what?"
"Didn't we agree that all the calligraphy and paintings in the shop would be purchased by me alone? Why did I agree to that, sir?" Gu Yunyi said with regret.
"Then I can't refuse. Besides, look at yourself. How much time have you had since they were born? As long as the little ones are awake, when you are at home, aren't you always playing with them?"
"Besides, it's not long before the Chinese New Year. How can you have time to collect all these calligraphy and paintings? Besides, although I have never seen Mr. Shen's calligraphy and paintings, since he is your master, it must be good. Mr. Shen took the initiative to mention it, so you feel wronged. Hanging up Mr. Shen's calligraphy and paintings can also do a wave of invisible publicity for us, isn't it good?"
"Of course there is nothing to say about the sir's calligraphy and painting. Besides, I don't feel wronged at all. I just feel that this is something we prepared together..."
Xu Qingmeng glanced at him and immediately understood. To put it in modern terms, he was a pure love-brained person. And the extent of his love for Zhizhi made him a complete daughter slave.
No wonder Mr. Shen said earlier that he didn’t look like a grown man? That sticky feeling.
Gu Yunyi also understood that if Zhizhi and Ruirui were not there, he would have no problem being alone. Now most of his free time is really left to the two children. If he really waited for him to come alone, he might not be able to catch up after the New Year.
The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. There are more and more people selling New Year goods on the streets, and the Gu family is getting busier and busier.
Due to the popularity of hot pot restaurants, the opening of various branches of noodle shops, and the introduction of various channels by the owners of noodle shops, the demand for red chili oil has increased dramatically. Not only these, but also many restaurants have come to the door privately to seek cooperation.
Xu Qingmeng is now extremely grateful that he had kept so many people at that time. If the orders are still so many after the New Year, he would definitely buy some more people back.
The red chili oil is so popular, not to mention the hot pot restaurant's business. Now He Xinting has no time to be at home. She gets up every day to help. Even the cook at home cooks various hot pot bases at home every day.
What's worse, many people asked whether Gu's hot pot base could be sold separately. Xu Qingmeng had actually thought about it, but there was no suitable packaging at the time, so she had to give up.
Knowing that his family was busy, Gu Yunyi almost turned down invitations and gatherings from his classmates and stayed at home. He took care of the child when he woke up, and went to the study to write and paint when the child fell asleep. This made many classmates talk about him behind his back.
Of course, whether he was a loner or henpecked, Gu Yunyi didn’t know. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
However, the chili oil workshop will not accept orders after the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, and the hot pot restaurant has also agreed to close on the 28th day of the 12th lunar month and reopen on the 8th day of the 11th lunar month. After all, this is her first year in this world, and she has two more children to continue her life. She feels that money can be made at any time.
This news was quite sudden, and He thought she had heard it wrong. She then confirmed it with Xu Qingmeng again and counted on her fingers. It would take a total of eight days.
"Meng Niang, has this been left out for too long?"
Not only will the hot pot restaurant be closed for a few days, but the workshop will also be closed after completing all the orders in hand. How much money will be lost in these few days? He still feels a little distressed.
He's expression was too obvious. When Xu Qingmeng saw it, she felt sorry for him and wanted to agree. But Gu Yunyi saw it and said, "Mother, this year is the first year that Meng Niang has come to our family. It is also the first year that your grandson and granddaughter have come into this world. It won't hurt to wait a few more days."
He thought so too, "Okay!"
