The changes in the small courtyard at this time can be said to be earth-shaking. Beautiful purple petals are falling in the wind. The small courtyard is covered with strings of purple, white, and pink wisteria flowers, which are closely connected, like purple clouds. Among them, it is like a fairyland.
Back then when he came back from Kasukabe City, he planted wisteria seeds at will, unintentionally planting willows and willows, never expecting to harvest such a huge purple paradise. No, it came in handy. Before, he felt that the terrace was empty. If these were transplanted, it would definitely attract customers. Which girl would refuse
After careful selection, Mo Shaoqing still chose fuchsia. Although white is beautiful but too plain, purple is more romantic and more suitable for European-style coffee tables. I also chose some gypsophila stars with a slightly lighter color to complement each other. Mo Shaoqing decided to find someone to deliver some of the wisterias to the store tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Mo Shaohong hurried over to help during the company's lunch break. Modi also sobered up from his drunkenness and hurried to the restaurant. He was very embarrassed, after all, he hadn't worked all morning. Mo Shaohong secretly pulled Mo Shaoqing over, took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Mo Shaoqing, "Here you are."
When Mo Shaoqing saw the thickness, he guessed what it was. He had been buying restaurant supplies for the past two days. After learning about the market price, he realized that his little money was really useless, and he didn't want to lose it in front of his parents. face.
Originally, he wanted to ask Xing Zhipeng and Han Ziyi to borrow some money, but both of them were abroad. At this moment, the elder brother's act of directly giving the money made him very moved, "Brother, I have money, how can I keep using yours!"
When renovating the storefront, Mo Shaohong already subsidized some of it with his savings, not to mention that the storefront is still owned by his eldest brother! This time, Mo Shaoqing couldn't ask for anything.
"If I tell you to hold it, you can hold it, or I will be angry!" Mo Shaohong deliberately "threats" with a straight face. He knows that his precious brother is also a part-time flower seller in addition to working all the time, but his love is broken. , I still want to push the money to my younger brother, saying that it is an investment. Mo Shaoqing thought about it now that the restaurant has just started, and there will be more places to use the money in the future, so he didn't refuse any more and accepted it.
Hearing the shouts of a girl outside, Mo Shaohong went out curiously, and then he was also stunned—outside was a big dark blue truck, and surprisingly there was a dense wisteria growing on it, two meters long. How tall it looked, the hanging wisteria flowers even exceeded the height of the truck - this is a worker Mo Shaoqing specially hired who knows how to transplant.
Because he was worried that his space might be discovered by others, Mo Shaoqing rented a warehouse early, put some vegetables and fruits in the space, and then shipped them over. Although it was a bit troublesome, safety issues had to be considered, maybe this way It will also arouse the suspicion of others, but this is only a stopgap measure. After the restaurant develops well, we must find another way. At present, we can only take one step at a time.
The beautiful wisteria flowers attracted the attention of all the shops in the alley, as well as the surrounding residents and some passers-by. Those exclamations came from the little girls in the beauty parlor at the alley. Of course, this is also one of Mo Shaoqing’s plans. The warehouse is in the suburbs (the location of the store has become a new development center), and Mo Shaoqing specially asked the driver to drive half a circle around the city. Since the wisteria is so attractive, why not do this free advertisement What is the reason
Mo Shaoqing also posted a banner of Mo's private kitchen dishes on the side of the truck. He believed that it must have attracted the attention of many people. The other two brothers of the Mo family praised Mo Shaoqing's words, and Mo Shaoqing also felt that his decision was correct.
The wisterias were planted on the terrace. Because they were afraid of blocking the light, Mo Shaoqing tried to choose the tallest and densest one. After all, it was a place to eat and drink tea. The purple vines were placed on a shelf, and the wisteria just occupied one-third of the area. One, this made Mo Shaoqing very satisfied.
Soon the tables, chairs and flower stands on the terrace were delivered, and the three brothers of the Mo family simply started to tidy up and decorate. Mo Shaoqing stood at the door and took a closer look. He felt that something was missing, so he discussed it with the two of them. It seems that Modi doesn't know how to decorate, but he thinks the terrace is very inconvenient in rainy days, which gives Mo Shaohong an idea. The road is slippery in rainy days, and the color of the terrace itself is not good-looking.
Both of them gave Mo Shaoqing a lot of suggestions. Mo Shaoqing thought that maybe an automatic glass cover could be installed to shelter the wind and rain in rainy days. As for the floor, the floor decoration could be made of wood. Drainage, and can be made into a high and low staggered appearance, and the effect of placing them on the table will definitely be good. The automatic sunshade and rainproof cover is probably not cheap, and there is no such funds for the time being, but the ground can be paved.
After making the decision, Mo Shaohong went back to the company and helped his younger brother contact the manufacturer. Modi was sent by Mo Shaoqing to oversee the work. After he left, Mo Shaoqing took out white hyacinths and some champagne roses and Chlorophytum from the space, and put them on the flower stand together with blue-purple and white forget-me-nots. Transplanted around the terrace, looking at the newly decorated terrace, Mo Shaoqing felt satisfied for the first time.
After a few more days of renovation, the restaurant was in the finishing touches, and the piano was shipped over soon. Such old-fashioned pianos are rare, and Mo Shaoqing's savings suddenly bottomed out. He put the piano under the patio , leaning against the pillars of the dining room, there are a few retro small cabinets on the side, stuffed with baby's breath in the drawers, a tablecloth on the cabinets, European vases and books...
Mo Shaohong did not know where to find two British-style telephone booths, and placed them in the corner of the restaurant. A wall was built there, a sink was installed, and the telephone booths were designed as toilets. Before, there was no toilet area downstairs, and it was a bit troublesome to go upstairs, which is also the result of brainstorming.
No one was idle during the renovation. Mo Shaohong has a wide network of contacts, so he contacted some food suppliers. Mo's father and furniture workers helped move the cake cabinet, and Mo's mother helped with the final arrangement. Mo Di followed Mo Shaohong to learn how to make coffee and milk tea.
Another thing is on the agenda, which is recruitment. Since the recruitment notice issued before, there are very few applicants so far. Now that time is running out, Mo Shaoqing's plan is to start a trial operation after the Chinese New Year, and then It's officially opened, if you can't recruit the right people, then all the plans will be ruined...
This morning, Wang Lifang arrived at the restaurant early in the morning, followed by a woman from the same village. The two got out of a van with big bags and small bags, put down the bags in their hands, and returned to the car to get them. This made Mo Shaoqing take a closer look, and it turned out to be all kinds of vegetables, live chickens and ducks, as well as this year's new rice.
"Auntie, you—" It would be a lie to say that you are not touched. These are probably the few live poultry left in my hometown. Looking at the freshness of the vegetables, I guess they were picked this morning, but it is only eight o'clock. It seems that Auntie really I got up very early.
"Haha, my nephew is promising, of course my aunt will support you." Wang Lifang wiped the sweat from her brow, said with a smile, then pulled the woman beside her and introduced: "This is your Aunt Wang, Wang Xiafeng , from the same village as me, I hugged you when I was a child, I guess you don't remember it, I just want her to come over and be a cleaner, and wash the dishes and vegetables by the way, help me, Shaoqing no I'll blame my aunt for making her own decisions."
"How could it be? It's too late to welcome, I'm short on staff here!" Mo Shaoqing knew that it was her aunt who was helping her to recruit people! Fortunately, there are still beds upstairs, so the dishwashers and cleaners are also saved.
Since it was the first month, and she didn't know whether the business was good or bad, Mo Shaoqing offered her a salary of 1500 yuan, which was low but included food and housing. If she got on the right track, she would get 2000 yuan plus a bonus. When I told Aunt Wang what I thought, I thought she would think it too little. After all, Modi mentioned that she came to work in the city because of her poor family. But I didn’t expect that he not only agreed but also was very grateful, which made Mo Shaoqing feel that she was not happy. Feeling guilty, I thought in my heart that I must raise my salary when the business is completed.
Mo Shaoqing's plan is to recruit three waiters and serve dishes first, then recruit a chef and a vegetable washer, and then cut them down according to the quality of the business. In addition to the job advertisements in the alleys, Mo Shaoqing also posted on school bars and forums Published some news, this time it was quite effective.
In the morning, many applicants came one after another. Most of them felt that the salary was too low and chose to leave. Even though Mo Shaoqing said that the salary would be increased later, no one agreed to stay. After all, the later salary increase is a bit illusory. It made Mo Shaoqing quite distressed.
At noon, a Cantonese chef came, and Mo Shaoqing thought it was very good. Southerners have a light taste, and eating too much spicy food can cause acne, so Mo Shaoqing didn't look for a Sichuan chef. But if it is Cantonese cuisine, Cantonese cuisine is delicate, light but not bland, while local cuisine is light and mellow, and it should be a good match. In the end, it was negotiated, and the salary was not high for the time being, only three thousand and five, and the salary would be raised later.
The chef of Cantonese cuisine is Yue Ling. He was originally the head chef of a big hotel with a monthly salary of 6,000, but the hotel changed to a new owner. After the new owner bought the hotel, they completely changed the hotel, and even the chef inside was replaced by Western food. chef. The hotel as a whole pays more attention to the development of Western food, and is committed to building the hotel into a five-star hotel. Most of Yue Ling's original staff were fired, and he suddenly became a manager from the chef, and his salary dropped to more than 3,000. I rely on myself, my salary has been reduced so much all of a sudden, and I have to be suppressed by others. I feel unbalanced, thinking that I have a skill, so I just resigned.
He was unwilling to come here to apply for a job, but he resigned impulsively. How easy is it to find a chef in a big restaurant! After seeing the signboard advertisement of Mo's private kitchen, since it didn't say what kind of chef he was asking for, he came to try it out. He also thought about it carefully. Very young, the working environment is very good, it is not like an ordinary small restaurant, and the work is easy, so I agreed.
