Alan is almost six months old and has long been able to eat some complementary food. Usually, he eats some mashed egg yolks or mashed potatoes, or all kinds of fruit purees and rice noodles. Lin Mo has nothing to do anyway, so he made him a bowl of steamed eggs. A little lard and fresh milk are added to the egg. After steaming, it is smooth and tender with the milky aroma that the baby likes. Alan fell in love with it as soon as he ate it. After eating the whole bowl of steamed eggs one bite after another, it was not enough. Lin Mo was afraid that he would not be able to digest it after eating too much, so he hugged the grunting little fat cub and walked around the yard for a while, before the little guy smiled happily again.
After a while, he yawned a little and fell asleep in Lin Mo's arms. Lin Mo tiptoedly put the little guy on his exclusive bed, poked his pink face, the little guy flattened his mouth, Lin Mo shyly withdrew his hand. There is one thing that Han Xun said is right. He really likes children. In his previous life, he even thought about finding a surrogate mother to have two children. One belongs to Chen Junxi and the other belongs to him. The two of them will raise the children together. big. It's a pity that before he could take action, photos and videos of Chen Junxi's cheating were sent to his mailbox. Since then, the idea has been buried by him. Now looking at the pink little Allen, this idea broke through the ground again. He remembered that Han Xun seemed to tell him in his previous life that he had a friend who had the technology to allow them to have a child with both genes. If true, what would that child look like
Lin Mo fantasized for a while in his heart, and then felt that he was too stupid to think about far-fetched things.
After handing Alan to Xu's mother, Lin Mo went back to his study and called his father to ask him about opening a branch.
In the past few months since Lin's hot pot restaurant opened, the business has not slowed down. Lin Jian turned the funds given by Han Xun into a shop, and started to expand after returning home. After discussion between the father and son, the first branch was chosen in Jincheng. Jincheng is a provincial capital with a lot of people and consumers. Once the situation is established and a firm foothold is established, the income will definitely be several times that of L County.
The location of the shop is located in the city center. The three-story single-storey shop has a total area of 900 square meters, and the area of the house is more than double that of the shop in l county. There is an underground parking lot not far away, and the most prosperous commercial street in Jincheng is nearby. It can be called a real golden location, and it took several million to get it. After deciding to open a branch store, Lin Jian entrusted Lin Hai with all the decoration of the store. He has ample funds in his hand, so he doesn't worry about it at all. The main concern now is the personnel issue.
The problem of the waiters was easier to solve, because Principal Pang lobbied hard. This year, the vocational high school in the county will add etiquette training courses. Lin Jian signed a contract with the school to select and admit some students with excellent grades every year. The salary of Lin's hot pot restaurant is top in the same industry. The salary of the waiters is higher than that of the teachers in the school. There is also a training system for internal management personnel, which means that if you do a good job, you will have the opportunity to become a middle-level backbone , even high-level. Lin Jian's cake is a bit too big, but Lin Dongmei and Liu Li are the ones who have eaten the cake. Now anyone in the store who is a little bit motivated can recharge their batteries. I heard that Jincheng is going to open a branch After that, each one became more energetic. The school knew about this situation, and many students who felt that they had a bit of capital had spent their time studying etiquette courses seriously, so Lin Jian didn't have to worry too much about it. At that time, after the personnel are determined, let them actually operate in the store for a period of time, and they will be able to get started soon.
The trouble lies with the kitchen master.
As long as Dunzi and the snack master let out the wind, with Lin's treatment, it is not difficult to find, the difficulty lies in the hot pot base.
Now only Lin Mo and Liu Li know the formula of the base material, and if they find someone else, even if they sign a non-disclosure agreement, Lin Mo is not at ease to pass on the secret recipe. Moreover, Jincheng's branch is only the first one, and there are more branches to be opened in the future. It is impossible to open a branch and pass on the secret recipe to one person, so where is the secret recipe? The only way is to open a special ingredient factory to mass-produce base ingredients like those chain hot pot restaurants in later generations, and the chefs of each store are only responsible for further processing on the basis of ingredients.
The only person Lin Mo can rest assured is Liu Li, but people's hearts are unpredictable. For the sake of profit, husband and wife can divorce and relatives can turn against each other. Who can guarantee that Liu Li will not change in the future? The best way is to bundle interests. Lin Jian has been working on the decoration for the past two days, and he hasn't freed up to talk to Liu Li. Han Mu mentioned it to him in the morning, and she wanted to visit his house in two days, so Lin Mo called Lin Jian and asked him to ignore this matter, wait for him to go back in a few days, and go to Liu Li with him talk. At that time, it is necessary to promise Liu Li some shares. As for how much, Lin Mo is still considering.
Regarding business matters, Lin Jian didn't dare to treat Lin Mo as a child. He knew that Lin Mo had many ideas, so he couldn't be unhappy to hear what Lin Mo said. So he went to Lin Changqing wholeheartedly to help choose the factory site, and went to work on the construction of the factory.
After talking about business with my father, the old lady took the phone and chatted with Lin Moxu for a long time, telling him to pay attention to his health, tell his family if he didn't have enough money, respect Han Xun's parents, etc. After finally waiting for the old lady to finish speaking, the little chubby Duner answered the phone again, and chatted with Lin Mo about going to Jincheng to participate in special training and competitions in a few days, and then chatted about Ah Hui not loving things before these two days, tactfully I expressed that the dishes made by grandma are not as delicious as those made by my brother. Knowing that Lin Mo will be back in a few days, he yelled excitedly on the phone, telling his brother not to forget to bring him a roast duck when he returns home...
Chatting and chatting, before we knew it, it was night. The chef at home prepared the meals, and Lin Mo ate some with Xu Ma and the others. After the meal, they leisurely enjoyed the shade in the yard, thinking about the future in silence. Not long after, Han Xun and the others came back. Han Mu pulled Lin Mo to talk for a while, and after knowing that Lin Mo was not feeling unwell, she went to see Little Allen again, and then went to wash up and get ready to rest. The old man has already retired and lived a semi-reclusive life, and he is naturally happy to be at leisure since he has no official business to bother him. Back home, he changed into a set of kung fu clothes, and slowly practiced his family's health-cultivating boxing in the yard.
He felt that Lin Mo's body was too weak, but after only basking in the sun for a long time, his headache and brain fever were worse than those of the two elders. On a whim, he asked Lin Mo to follow him.
This set of health-preserving boxing methods is somewhat similar to Tai Chi, but not quite like it. Lin Mo has always had underdeveloped motor cells. After learning one move and forgetting another, the old man was so angry that he scolded him for being stupid. Lin Mo was so anxious that he was sweating, and after learning for a long time, he finally managed to memorize the moves. The old man saw that his attitude was very correct, and said that hard work can make up for one's weakness. Putting aside his previous doubts, he was still very satisfied with Lin Mo in his heart. He had heard Han Xun talk about Lin Mo's family affairs, and felt that he was able to take on the burden of the family with his skills at a young age. His tenacity and courage alone were very admirable. Moreover, he has a degree of advance and retreat, calm and calm, knowing their identities, but does not pretend to please them, respects them as elders, is not cowardly or flattering; he has been called 'stupid' for a long time, still does not see a trace of impetuousness, and the whole set from beginning to end Boxing memorized. For a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child to be able to do so much is already very good. It would be even better if he had nothing to do with Ah Xun.
The old man thought about the interaction between Han Xun and Lin Mo during the day. Although they were still close, there was no intimacy that shouldn't be there.
Could it be that he was thinking too much
What the old man didn't know was that Han Xun and Lin Mo were afraid that he would continue to 'think too much', so they kept a distance on purpose. After all, Han Xun is a child from a wealthy and noble family, and his acting skills are naturally top-notch. Lin Mo's shell is filled with a soul in his thirties who has experienced the world. The study was dealing with business, and when the lights in the main courtyard went out, he hurriedly took out one of the hidden medicine jades and slipped into Lin Mo's room.
Although he was very upset about the meeting between Lin Mo and Chen Junxi, he still held back and wisely chose not to mention it. After talking with Lin Mo for a long time, he went back to the study in a good mood to continue programming.
The next day, Han Xun sent a message to many people with good relations. He booked the Royal Hotel in Beijing and invited everyone to play the night after tomorrow. Everyone has heard the wind more or less, knowing that Han's father and Han's mother have returned to China, and they are likely to attend tomorrow's reception. Apart from being happy, they must be a little more solemn.
On the night of the reception, Lin Mo also went together. Han Xun formally introduced Lin Mo's identity to everyone, and Han's mother took him with him affectionately. In this way, Lin Mo entered the upper-class social circle in the capital with a completely different identity from his previous life. When those familiar or unfamiliar faces appeared alternately, when the disdain and sarcasm on their faces turned into courtship, Lin Mo felt mixed emotions and emotions.
Han Xun invited young people. Han's father and Han's mother briefly showed their faces, chatted with a few people who were very close to Han Xun, and then went home on the pretext of feeling unwell. Lin Mo has always disliked socializing, and it is difficult to have any common topics with these second and third generations, so he left with Han's father and Han's mother. Poor Chen Junxi held back his words and wanted to talk to Lin Mo, but in the end he just said hello and left without finding a chance to be alone.
Han Xun had been socializing until the middle of the night before returning home drunk. Lin Mo waited for him in the room reading a book. As soon as he came back, he fed him the hangover soup he had prepared early in the morning. Han Xun has a good capacity for alcohol, and he was not too drunk. After drinking hangover soup, he became sober again. The old man was there, and his eyeliner was everywhere, and he didn't dare to take advantage of the opportunity or anything, so he honestly went to take a shower, lay on the bed and slept until dawn.
In this way, after staying in the capital for more than ten days, Father Han and Mother Han went to all the scenic spots they could visit, and attended several charity galas before packing up and going south to Lin Mo's house.
