Boss Qin really emptied the shop on time.

On the morning of getting the store, Yu Qingze took Le Geer to see the new store.

The single-storey area of the new shop is about the same size as the current snack bar. The second floor used to be separated as a private room when it was used as a tea house.

Because Yu Qingze said that he was going to renovate, Boss Qin emptied the original partition of the elegant room. Now the entire second floor is the same as the first floor, which is completely empty.

"Brother Le, look, I think the first floor is like a snack bar, with tables spread out, and then on the second floor, there are a few private rooms. Oh, the private rooms are private rooms. When some people talk about business or things, just There is a more secret space. What do you think?" Yu Qingze took Le Ge'er's hand and told him his vision in the empty hall on the second floor.

Looking at the spacious space, Brother Le gestured, "If you can't make a few private rooms, will it not be worth it?"

"Don't worry, the private room will definitely make more money. Think about it, who usually uses the private room?" Yu Qingze guided Brother Le to think.

Brother Le thought for a while, and gestured: People from big families don't like to sit in the hall with others; those who talk about business; and some who treat guests to dinner

Yu Qingze nodded, scratched Brother Le's nose, and said with a smile, "My husband is really getting smarter!"

Brother Le raised his lips and smiled. He liked that Yu Qingze praised him so much.

Because of his limited knowledge, Le Geer has been working hard to keep up with Yu Qingze's pace. He followed Yu Qingze to learn arithmetic and literacy, to learn his perspective and way of thinking about problems, and how to deal with problems.

Moreover, Yu Qingze would discuss with him every time about the business of the store. He also felt that Yu Qingze was intentionally teaching himself.

This made Brother Le very happy. He wants to learn and wants to learn.

He wanted to get closer to his husband step by step, hoping that when his husband came up with new ideas, he would immediately understand his intentions. Instead, the chickens talk to the ducks and play the piano to the cows.

He wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with his husband.

From the food stall to the snack bar, in the whole year, Le Geer himself felt that he was very different from before, his vision was broadened, and his mind became more flexible. . This makes him happy, and he thinks more actively about the store.

"So you see, those from big families, those who are doing business, and those who have money to invite guests to parties, do these guests all want to have an independent space?" Yu Qingze said again.

Brother Le nodded, if he wanted to talk business with others, he definitely didn't want others to listen.

Yu Qingze continued to explain the truth to Brother Le: "Moreover, these people are generally more willing to spend money. You see, if we go to dinner by ourselves, two people may order two, three, twenty, thirty or forty. The dishes may be enough.”

"But these people, the rich and wealthy, will have higher requirements for food, and they will eat exquisitely, so they are willing to try some exotic dishes. And those who talk about business and treat guests need to be full of scenes, so they may order it. Eighty to ninety cents, hundreds of cents or even two hundred cents for a dish. If you calculate it like this, the price of a single dish may be worth the price of a meal at an ordinary table on the first floor, don’t you think?”

When Brother Le heard this, he suddenly became enlightened, and he could still think so.

He immediately gestured: I understand!

Seeing that Brother Le understood, Yu Qingze smiled and said, "So, the elegant room is a must!"

Brother Le nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Yu Qingze walked up and down the hall, made gestures, and said, "The large table for ten to twelve people is placed in the elegant room, and the small table for four to six people is placed in the small private room. If you design it well, you can probably do There are four large elegant rooms, two small elegant rooms, and a resting place can be separated in the middle.”

The two watched it all morning and discussed it for a long time. Yu Qingze took out the small notebook that he had written down when he opened the snack bar, wrote down everything one by one, and then prepared them one by one.

Shop decoration, table and chair ordering, personnel recruitment training and arrangement, menu and price formulation, etc., there are many things to do.

This time, Yu Qingze didn't go to work alone, he brought Brother Le with him. In the snack bar, after more than two months of practice, Tie Zhu and Er Niu have been able to cooperate with Brother Chang and Amo to get things done in the kitchen well, and Brother Le can free up his hands.

A few days later, the two of them just returned to the snack bar from outside. Brother Chang said that Dahe was back, and he brought back several boxes of things.

When Yu Qingze heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he hurried to the backyard to see, only to see a dozen boxes piled under the eaves of the backyard, but did not see the big river.

He ran back to the lobby again and asked Brother Chang, "Where's Dahe? Why don't you see anyone?"

Brother Chang was still talking to Brother Le, but he turned his head and replied, "He said that there was still something to move, so he went to move it."

Yu Qingze returned to the backyard and kept wandering around the boxes. He really wanted to open it and see what was inside. But Da He didn't come back, so he just opened the box, really anxious.

Turning around, he suddenly smelled a special smell, stinky, like the rotten smell of rotten green onions.

Shouldn't it be... Durian? Yu Qingze got close to the box again to smell it, and the bottom box really smelled like durian.

Yu Qingze was pleasantly surprised: ... he actually brought back durian!

After a quarter of an hour, Da He came back, carrying a box on his shoulder and a sack in his hand. It didn't look very heavy.

"Da He! You're back! Hurry up, drink some water, and tell me what you brought back?" Yu Qingze saw Da He and quickly helped him unload the suitcase on his shoulders, which was quite heavy.

"Brother Yu, Brother Le." Da He put down the sack and called, then took the water brought by Brother Le and drank it.

After drinking, Da He removed the rope from the box and said, "This time I went to the south and brought back several kinds of things, two kinds of fruits and one kind of vegetables. I also brought three kinds of vegetable seeds. "

Yu Qingze also helped to start dismantling it.

"These ten boxes are all for me? Did you buy them yourself?" Yu Qingze asked.

Dahe nodded, pointed to the two boxes on the side, and said, "I brought two boxes."

"Did you go very far this time? It's been a long time."

"It was a little farther before, because the boss fell ill after arriving there, and he was delayed there for ten days. So it took me a long time to find things before I found these."

"I see."

"This one is similar to a winter melon, but it's much smaller. The locals call it a small winter melon. I don't think we have it here. The locals said it would last a long time without breaking, so I brought it back." Dahe opened a box on his side, Inside the dry straw lay a whole box of small dark green winter melons.

It's gourd. Yu Qingze opened a box on his side, which was also a melon. He nodded and said, "This one can be stored for a long time, and it should be very good to grow."

The two continued to dismantle.

As soon as he opened the box in front of him, Yu Qingze smelled a fragrance. In the straw package, there was a box full of guava the size of a fist. Some are still green, and some have turned yellow-green due to overcooking.

"This is called chicken shit fruit. The locals say that it can be kept for a month, and it is still raw when it is picked. It may take too long to bring it back, and it has become like this." Dahe explained on the side.

"Chicken shit fruit is so ugly." Yu Qingze smiled, picked up a yellowish guava and smelled it, not to mention, it really tasted like chicken shit. He turned his head and called to Brother Le: "Brother Le, bring two baskets over here. Pick out the cooked ones and put them away."

Brother Le heard the words and went to get it.

Dahe said with a smile: "Because some locals think it tastes like chicken shit."

When Brother Le came over, Yu Qingze asked him to pick out all the guava in it.

There are also two boxes of guava.

The remaining four boxes were much larger, and as soon as they were opened, Yu Qingze's eyes lit up.

It sure is durian!

The moment the box was opened, the strong smell of durians drifted away.

Brother Le was very sensitive to smells and immediately covered his nose.

"This name, what is it called?" Dahe frowned and thought.

"... Durian." Yu Qingze added with bright eyes.

"That's right! That's the name! It smells bad, but it tastes delicious." Dahe looked at the yellow durians in the box and said, "It was still green when I picked it, but it's so yellow now. , will it be broken?"

"It's not very forbidden to put this one. We'll know after a try." Yu Qingze went into the kitchen to get a knife, then took out a wooden board to cushion it, picked up a durian with an open mouth, and opened it.

After opening it, the smell became even stronger, and Brother Le ran directly to the kitchen with his nose pinched.

Yu Qingze held it up and smelled it, and said in surprise: "It's not broken, I guess it's just opened. But you have to eat it quickly, or it will go bad within two days!"

Yu Qingze went to the kitchen and saw Brother Le, he smiled and said, "That thing is delicious, go out and try it?"

Brother Le shook his head frantically. His nose is super sensitive, especially for smells, and the smells are so stinky that they drift into the kitchen.

"Well, what's the smell? It smells bad, Brother Le, have we broken something?" Brother Chang suddenly turned around and said.

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "Uncle, no, it's a fruit brought back by Dahe. Come out and eat it, it's delicious."

Brother Chang doubted: "Aren't all fruits fragrant, and there are also stinky fruits?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "It just smells bad, you'll know when you come out to eat."

"Really? I'll take a look." Brother Chang went to the backyard curiously.

Yu Qingze said to Brother Le again, "You don't believe me?" His expression was a little aggrieved.

Brother Le:…

"Was the snail noodles delicious last time?" Yu Qingze asked.

Brother Le nodded embarrassedly.

Yu Qingze stopped talking, and brother Chaole stretched out his hand silently.

Brother Le looked at him, and after a while, he still put his hand in Yu Qingze's.

Outside, Da He and Brother Chang have already taken a piece and ate it.

"How is it, uncle?" Yu Qingze asked with a smile.

Brother Chang frowned and said, "It really doesn't smell bad, that's what it tastes like, I don't know how to say it, like a rotten pumpkin?"

Dahe laughed and said, "Many locals say the same thing. If there is something you like to eat, it is especially delicious, such as me."

Brother Chang smiled and said, "Everyone has different tastes."

Yu Qingze took Le Geer to wash his hands, then took a piece out of the shell and handed it to Le Geer.

Brother Le gathered up his courage, took it, and took a bite with his eyes closed.

The taste is soft and smooth, sweet, melts in the mouth, and has a special aroma.

Yu Qingze has been observing Le Ge'er's expression. After seeing him take a bite, he opened his eyes immediately. He looked curiously at the yellow pulp in his hand, and his big eyes were full of shock.

"Delicious, right?"

Brother Le nodded and gestured with one hand: Sweet and sweet.

"I know you'll like it!" Although he doesn't believe me every time, Brother Le's taste is still very similar to his own! Yu Qingze thought.

After Brother Le finished eating one piece, he took another piece.

Yu Qingze instructed him: "You can only eat two pieces at most, this one will get angry if you eat too much."

Brother Le nodded when he heard the words.

This durian is quite big and has a lot of meat in it, there are actually five pieces of meat. Several people finished eating.

Although there are four boxes of durians, because of their size, there are only eight or nine durians in one box, which is really not much.

Dahe owns two boxes, one is guava and the other is durian.

After Dahe finished eating durian and washed his hands, he saw the sack on the side, and he brought it over and said to Yu Qingze, "Brother Yu, this thing is for you to repel mosquitoes. Summer is coming, put this in the room, and there will be fewer mosquitoes. "

"What? Mosquito repellent?" Yu Qingze asked curiously.

"No." Da He opened the sack and exposed a large potted plant inside, and said, "Pan persimmon."

It was a potted plant with many round cyan and red fruits hanging from the green branches and leaves.

Yu Qingze: … tomatoes!
