A few days later, the shop was tidied up, and the interior layout was also according to Lin Mo's request. After getting everything ready, Lin Mo trained Chen Qing and Chen Mu to let them understand the process inside.
After the shop opened, as Lin Mo expected, not many people knew that there were no more than 50 customers who came every day, and half of them came here often after the first time.
Regarding this situation, Lin Mo didn't feel anything. Anyway, the passenger flow should increase in a few days. However, Lin Mo is not worried about these, but someone is worried for him.
Chen Mu sorted the washed vegetables and put them in the vegetable basket on the shelf. After finishing, he glanced at the second boss who was sitting at the counter with his chin propped up and reading idle books. After thinking about it, I still walked over.
Chen Mu glanced at the door leading to the backyard, making sure that the big boss was still cleaning up the ingredients inside, Chen Mu moved to the counter in small steps.
"Second boss, there are so few guests these days, should we promote it like Mingjiu Xuan?" Chen Mu asked.
Before Lin Mo needed to solve something, Chen Qing and Chen Mu went to Mingjiu Xuan to find Lin Cheng. After going there, they realized that they want more customers and can still advertise like this.
"Propaganda? No need, there should be more customers in a few days, the guests come in, go entertain them." After Lin Mo finished speaking, he saw someone coming in from the corner of his eye and reminded Chen Mu.
"Ah? Okay." Hearing this, Chen Mu hurried towards the guests who came in.
A few days later, as Lin Mo said, the number of guests doubled. Lin Mo listened carefully to their conversation and heard that they were introduced by a friend. Lin Mo poured a cup of hot tea, changed to another book and continued to read, he just said, there will definitely be more guests.
After Cheng Yan processed the ingredients, he walked into the hall from the backyard. The afternoon sun shone in through the hollowed-out door, Lin Mo lay on the counter, opened the book and covered his head, part of the colorful sunlight cast on his back.
The afternoon sun in late autumn was very warm on his body. Although Cheng Yan didn't know why Lin Mo liked to sleep so much, he closed his eyes for almost half of the day, of course, when he was around. However, this kind of weather is really suitable for dozing off.
Cheng Yan walked over quickly, telling the customer who came to pay the bill to keep silent before he spoke. Take the note in the guest's hand, calculate the bill according to the above menu, and then show it, and then ask the guest to pay.
During the whole process, neither of them made a sound. This customer was obviously a regular customer, and he was used to the second boss who was in charge of accounting in the store sleeping on the side, and the big boss came to check out.
Lin Mo's gourmet shop currently has three types: Mala Tang, various grilled skewers and self-service hot pot, but the first two are the most eaten by customers now, probably because it is not too cold now.
All the utensils inside were custom-made by the blacksmith. The ingredients for Malatang and skewers are selected by the guests, and Chen Qing and Chen Mu handle the rest. The fire used in the self-service hot pot is smokeless charcoal. Because smokeless charcoal is more expensive, the price of hot pot is higher than others. Perhaps this is the reason why no one lights hot pot.
In fact, Lin Mo, who was lying on the counter, did not fall asleep, but was too idle, and the sunlight that happened to shine in was warm, so he covered his head with a book and closed his eyes to rest. Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Lin Mo was about to take off the book on his head and stand up to pay the customer, when Cheng Yan came over.
Cheng Yan's arrival meant that he didn't have to get up, so Lin Mo continued to lay his face on his hands and close his eyes. Standing beside Cheng Yan, Lin Mo, who was not sleepy at first, was a little confused by the sunlight.
After paying the bills for several customers, Cheng Yan saw that no one came again, took the book from Lin Mo's head and put it in the cabinet behind, bent down and picked him up to the backyard. On the way, I ran into Chen Qing and asked him to guard the counter.
A few days after the delicacy was opened, Lin Mo found that there was not enough manpower, so Lin Mo recruited three more middle-aged women. Two are handling ingredients in the backyard, and one is cleaning up in the lobby. After the guests at the previous table leave to check out, they have to clean up the things on the table immediately.
As for the other matters, it was left to Chen Qing and Chen Mu. The two brothers had already sold themselves to Cheng Yan, Lin Mo and the others, so they had access to money. The other three were recruited and paid monthly, if not, they could be replaced.
After autumn and winter, more and more people come to gourmet shops to eat hot pot. There are also many food shops near them following Lin Mo's gourmet shop. However, customers who have been to Lin Mo's place to eat before have tasted it. The price is cheap and the quality and taste are also poor. It does not have the unique taste of the soup in Lin Mo's gourmet shop.
Finally, the last guest was sent away. After the three middle-aged women cleaned up the backyard and the hall, they left with the leftover ingredients given to them by the second boss.
Cheng Yan closed all the doors to block the cold wind blowing in. After walking to the backyard and giving instructions to Chen Qing and Chen Mu, Cheng Yan and Lin Mo, who were already dressed, left through the door of the backyard.
Before Lin Mo wanted to buy a house in the town, it happened that Lin Cheng was also planning to buy a big yard, and then brought Father Lin and Mother Lin to the town. Lin Cheng had to go to the town every day, and the academy where Lin Xing Lincheng studied was also in the town. He came from Daling Village every morning and went back at night, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth.
And Xiaoya Xiaonan hasn't seen other adults in the family for a long time, except grandma and mother. Therefore, it was certain that the Lin family would move to the town. Anyway, it was already winter, so they didn't have to worry about the fields.
Both families wanted to buy a house, so Cheng Yan and Lin Cheng went to buy a big yard. The environment inside is good, the house and furniture are semi-new, you can live in directly after a little cleaning.
Thus, Lin Mo lived with the Lin family again, but now there was an extra Cheng Yan as Lin Mo's husband.
Today is Lin Xiuxiu Mu's return, to be precise, Lin Xiu is back from vacation. After this winter, next spring Linxiu will go to Beijing to take the exam. Lin Xing, Lin Chen, and the rest of the academy have a few days to go on vacation. Today, the whole family is going to have dinner together, so Lin Mo and the others have to go back quickly.
The house they bought was between Mingjiu Xuan in Lincheng and Lin Mo's gourmet shop, and it was only a few minutes' walk away.
After Cheng Yan warmed his pocket, he pulled Lin Mo's hand over and put it in his pocket. Lin Mo's health is not good, his hands and feet are often cold in winter, and his feet are still cold when he wakes up the next day.
Fortunately, there is Cheng Yan, a big natural heater, as long as Lin Mo nestles in his arms, he won't be woken up in the middle of the night.
When the two of them got home, the others had already prepared the ingredients. The ground dragon was burned in the room, and Lin Mo felt much warmer as soon as he entered. Cheng Yan helped him take off his coat and put it aside.
"Mo Ge'er and Dacheng are back. Go wash your hands and start cooking. There is hot water in the kitchen." Mother Lin stood by the table and put more difficult-to-cook meat into the pot to cook.
They eat hot pot tonight, distinguish between clear soup and red soup, after all, children can't eat spicy food.
"Fourth Uncle, you're back!" Lin Xiaoya said happily when she saw Lin Mo walking in.
"Fourth brother, hurry up, it's ready to eat!" Lin Xing sat on the seat holding the chopsticks, staring at Lin's mother as he put the ingredients in, and when he saw the fourth brother came back, he waved to them.
"It's okay, you guys eat first." Lin Mo waved his hands to let them do whatever they wanted.
"Mother, is there too much chili in the pot here?" Lin Xing saw that the other half of the pot was full of red chili oil floating on it, and felt his tongue numb.
"If you can't eat spicy food, you can eat the other side." Lin Chen who was sitting next to him suddenly said.
"Who... Who said I can't eat it?" Lin Xing retorted, but his momentum was a little lacking.
In the kitchen, Cheng Yan scooped up a basin of warm water for Lin Mo to soak his hands. Lin Mo dipped his hands into the basin to soak, and Cheng Yan reached in to rub his hands that were a little stiff from the cold.
"Why are your hands still so cold? Are you going to buy some ginseng to mend it?" Cheng Yan asked while rubbing for him.
"What can eating ginseng supplement? Don't worry about it, I should be born with a cold constitution." Lin Mo shook his head and said. He had a cold constitution in his previous life, and he had to turn on the air conditioner in winter, otherwise his hands and feet would be cold, and it is probably the same now.
Cheng Yan didn't say anything, and helped him rub his hands to move his muscles and bones, and then scooped up a pot of hot water for him to soak in. When the flexibility of Lin Mo's fingers recovered almost, the two of them went back to the room, just as the things in the pot were almost cooked.
After the two sat down, the others also started to eat. Cheng Yan helped Lin Mo pick up the non-spicy meat and lotus root, and then gave him a bowl of soup before eating.
Lin's mother boiled this soup specially for Lin Mo to warm up, and the other children in the family also had to drink a bowl for every meal. The effect of warming up is obvious on other people, but it doesn't have much effect on Lin Mo. However, in order not to worry Cheng Yan and Mother Lin, Lin Mo still drank every time.
Lin Xing put some meat, soft boiled lotus root and yam pieces for Xiao Nan, and then he took a look at the meat in the red soup, and couldn't help being tempted to take a piece of it. In the next second, Lin Xing's eyes turned red and his mouth became numb.
"You all know that you can't eat spicy food and you still find yourself guilty?" Lin Chen moved his cold boiled water in front of Lin Xing, and said helplessly.
Wasn't it like this every time before? Every time I was so hot that my mouth was flushed, I didn't touch it next time, and I didn't have a long memory the next time.
"Let him try it a few more times, maybe he can eat spicy food in the future." Lin Xiu, who was sitting beside him eating spicy food, looked up at Lin Xing and couldn't help laughing.
"Even my second brother can eat spicy food, so why can't I?" Lin Xing asked unwillingly after pouring a bowl of cold water, and managed to reduce the spiciness in his mouth.
"I can't either, there are Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya." Lin Mo looked up at Lin Xing and said.
"Fourth brother, you are different. I just wonder why second brother, as a scholar, can eat spicy food." Lin Xing said depressedly, fourth brother is a brother, Xiaoya and Xiaonan are children, why is this the same.
"What gave you the illusion that scholars can't eat spicy food?" Lin Mo asked as he ate the meat Cheng Yan fed him with his mouth open.
"Scholars shouldn't be weak...uh..." Lin Xing was halfway through speaking before realizing that his second brother was here.
"Huh? What did you say? What's weak?" Lin Xiu held chopsticks in his hand, looked up at Lin Xing who was opposite him, and smiled gently.
"No...it's nothing, I mean that scholars shouldn't be weak, like the second brother, he has great strength." Lin Xing quickly changed his words and said with a serious face. After finishing speaking, he lowered his head to eat, not daring to look up at his second brother.
Lin Mo looked at the others with a smile in his eyes while eating, and found that they were all used to it, and it was the same when they got along with each other before.
