When I got home for dinner, the wind outside was getting tighter and louder, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling.
"Look at this, it's going to rain at night." Boss Chu said, looking at the rustling leaves outside.
"Yeah, why is it so cold in August, just like the twelfth lunar month over there." Zhao shi tightened his clothes, "Brother Leng, was it so cold in previous years?"
Chu Wei nodded coldly and said, "Almost, it's going to snow next month."
"Huh? It's so early." Zhao shi was surprised.
Luo Jianjia was also surprised that she had never lived in such a cold place in her past life or this life.
The snow had almost melted when I first came here this year.
Thinking of the snow-capped scene I saw before, I suddenly felt a little bit of anticipation in my heart.
At this time, Mrs. Zhao turned to look at Luo Jianjia, and said, "We have to take out the winter clothes to dry in the morning. I also said to make some jackets, but I haven't had time yet. It's very cold, and I don't know how cold it is at the coldest."
As soon as the issue of temperature was mentioned, the trace of expectation in Luo Jianjia's heart suddenly disappeared.
The worst thing about winter is the cold.
At the beginning of this year, she made two quilts and it was very cold. After two months, she still didn't know how cold it was.
"Well, take it out when it's sunny." Luo Jianjia said.
"Now that the business in our shop is so busy, why don't we just go out and buy it, it's convenient and easy." Chu Wei Leng suggested.
Not to mention how good the business is in the shop now, his salary alone cannot be used up.
He was also distressed that his parents and wife were busy on weekdays and wanted them to relax.
Although this proposal was considerate, it was rejected by the Zhao family: "That can't be done, no matter how good it is outside, it is not as warm as it is."
As long as Zhao can remember, he has picked up needles and needles for work, and is used to making clothes by himself.
The reason why I bought it before was because she had never made such a thick coat.
Now that she has learned slowly, she naturally wants to do it herself.
"My daughter-in-law heard that ready-made jackets are sold outside. Let's buy some cotton and stuff them in by ourselves. It looks good and convenient."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up and asked, "Really? There are still people selling this kind of thing?"
Luo Jianjia nodded: "There are some for sale. My daughter-in-law saw it when she went to buy cloth that day. There are many colors. We can choose one when the time comes."
Zhao shi happily responded.
Although Chu Wei Leng wanted his mother to relax, but he couldn't find the right way. After seeing Luo Jianjia's three or two sentences, he made his mother agree, and his eyes looked at her with a little more admiration.
Luo Jianjia and Chu Wei looked at each other coldly and said nothing.
When I went to bed at night, it really started to rain outside.
The rain was rustling and the wind was blowing.
Usually, Luo Jianjia would soon fall asleep after a tiring day, but today she couldn't sleep.
I don't know if it's because the wind and rain outside are too tight, or because of my mood.
She noticed that Chu Wei Leng, who was sleeping beside her, didn't seem to be asleep, so she spoke.
"It hasn't rained so much at the border for a long time."
Immediately afterwards, she heard Chu Weilen's response: "Well, it's been a long time. It's relatively dry here, and it rarely rains."
After saying a few words about the weather, Luo Jianjia said again: "I thought, let's recruit a few people in our shop. Now that your injury is almost healed, you should be going back to the military camp soon. I don't know if you can't go there that day. The shop helped."
"Okay. How many people do you need to recruit? What kind of people? Tell me the conditions, and I'll recruit them when the time comes." Chu Wei said coldly.
Luo Jinjia knew that Chu Wei Leng knew a lot of people, especially military family members like Uncle Yuan and Aunt Li.
These people have had a hard time.
She wants to help if she can.
"Six." Luo Jianjia said.
"Six? That many?" Chu Wei asked in surprise.
He thought about recruiting people in the shop, and made a preliminary judgment that one or two would be fine.
If there is one, then hire a man.
If there are two, hire two women.
I didn't expect the lady to recruit so many people at once.
"Well. Did you notice that there are more people in our shop these days." Luo Jianjia said.
"I found out, there are indeed a lot of people." Chu Wei said coldly, and while he was talking, he suddenly understood what Luo Jianjia meant, "Does the lady mean to expand the store?"
She was not surprised that Chu Wei Leng could guess her thoughts, and said, "Yes, I do have such thoughts."
"Where does the lady want to open the new shop?" Chu Wei asked coldly.
"I have inquired about the pasta shop next to it, and the two old people are too old to withstand the tossing of the war. Their family is going to defect to their daughter who is married to the south. Why don't we put this shop down?" Luo Jianjia Road.
Now that she has decided to stay here, she has to think about ways to make money.
In fact, it is not bad to keep the business of spicy skewers every day. You can earn five or six taels a day, hundreds of taels a month, and maybe two or three hundred taels in the future.
But she has the ability to make more money, why not make it
In this troubled world where people are unequal, only by making more money can we be more secure.
The future is uncertain, and it is better to hold more things in your hands.
"Okay." Chu Wei Leng didn't ask much, and immediately agreed, "I'll handle this matter."
"Yeah." Luo Jianjia responded.
She didn't plan to do it herself, and the reason why she told Chu Weilen was that she hoped he would do it.
Even if he didn't mention it, she would have brought it up.
"This way, the place will be big, and you don't have to worry about not having enough places to sit." Chu Wei said coldly, "It may be unsatisfactory for a while, and it is estimated that there will be more and more people, and there may be times when the seats are full."
Chu Wei was afraid that he would be dissatisfied at that time, and Luo Jinjia felt a big gap in his heart, so he did not forget to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, Luo Jianjia said, "I don't plan to make spicy skewers next door."
"Ah? Don't make spicy skewers? What are you going to do?" Chu Wei asked curiously.
He originally thought that a new shop was opened to alleviate the problem of too many spicy people, but he didn't expect it
Then why do you need more than one shop
"I'm thinking of cooking something else to eat." Luo Jianjia said.
For now, one shop is actually enough.
Although there are more people, there is no need to wait.
Unless there are more than 20% of the guests, there is no need to deliberately set up a shop.
The reason why she wanted to make a shop was because she wanted to cook something else.
Before Luo Jinjia said what to do, Chu Wei said coldly, "Actually, everything the lady does should be easy to sell, even if you sell steamed buns, the business should be good."
After speaking, Luo Jianjia heard the sound of swallowing saliva.
Luo Jianjia: …
So, is there nothing else in Chu Weilen's mind besides steamed buns
"The profit of steamed bread is too low to make much money." Luo Jianjia said.
Steamed buns are so cheap, you can buy two for a penny, and if you add thick noodles, you can buy three or four for a penny.
It has to sell thousands of steamed buns a day to make as much profit as the spicy skewers.
And even if she is very strong, she really has to steam thousands of steamed buns a day, and she is afraid that she will die of exhaustion.
This is not in line with her original intention of making money.
"Yes, and it's too tired, the lady should do some other labor-saving meals." Chu Wei said coldly.
These words made Luo Jianjia feel a lot more comfortable.
"I'm thinking about making something deep-fried. Like the chicken chops, chicken fillets, and crispy pork that I made earlier."
Then, Luo Jianjia heard the familiar sound of swallowing saliva again.
She remembered that Chu Wei had just eaten four steamed buns, drank two bowls of pork rib soup, and ate a lot of radish cakes.
One person eats more than all three of them.
He didn't do much work today, how could he be hungry so soon
Then, I heard Chu Wei coldly say: "Well, not bad, these are delicious."
"Xianggong, are you hungry, do you want me to make some cakes for you?" Luo Jianjia asked with concern.
"Ah? No, I'm not hungry, the lady doesn't have to be so troublesome." Chu Wei said coldly.
He ate quite full at night and was not hungry, but when he heard the names of the food, he couldn't help swallowing.
Luo Jianjia wanted to ask why she swallowed when she was not hungry...
"Well, if you're hungry, you can tell me straight, these meals are pretty easy to make."
Hearing the leaves rustling outside the house and the rain hitting the eaves, Chu Wei said coldly, "I don't need a lady, my husband is really not hungry."
Seeing him say that, Luo Jianjia didn't mention it again.
Chu Wei cooling is very interested in the business she is about to do.
Originally, he was lying flat, but for the convenience of speaking, he turned his body sideways and turned his face towards Luo Jianjia.
"Apart from chicken chops and crispy meat? Does the lady plan to do anything else? Can you also fry some balls?"
This is Chu Wei Leng's favorite food again.
"Well, yes, you can also fry lotus root and chicken popcorn." Luo Jianjia said.
Listening to Luo Jianjia talking about these various kinds of things, Chu Wei said coldly: "The shop next to it is only half the size of the current one, will it be too small and not enough?"
Luo Jianjia said, "No. You can actually take these fried foods home to eat. It is estimated that there are not many people who stay for dine-in."
"Oh, yes, these things are different from the spicy skewers. You can wrap them in oil paper." Chu Wei said coldly, "It's still the lady who thought it thoughtful. In this way, it can not only do more business, but also relieve the mala skewers on the side. The problem of too many people."
"Well, I do think so." Luo Jianjia said softly.
The two of them chatted one by one.
The sound of the rain outside the house was getting louder and louder, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Chu Wei felt the warmth that he had never felt before.
He didn't know much about the family's business before, but recently, he had in-depth contact and learned a lot more. Therefore, he found a problem at this moment.
The atmosphere between the two was very good, and Chu Wei Leng asked some words.
"Will the fried things be too greasy? If the guests stay, they may not be able to eat them?"
Hearing this question, Luo Jianjia felt that Chu Weilen really understood their family's business better than before.
"Yes. So we need to bake more scones in our house. The fried chicken chops are chopped up and placed in the pancakes. The pancakes can absorb oil and the taste will be much better. Then put some vegetable leaves in it, remove oil."
Chu Wei couldn't hold back, swallowed his saliva, and said, "That's a good idea. Can you also make some de-oiled soup?"
Luo Jianjia said: "Well, I'm thinking, make some shredded chicken and egg soup, or prepare some juice. Juice is better to sell in summer. I don't know if it will be sold in cold weather now."
Chu Wei said coldly: "We can give it a try when it's time. If we can't sell it, let's think of other ways. The food that the lady made in the past is very easy to sell. If this one doesn't work, let's change it."
Chu Wei Leng did not blindly support Luo Jinjia's decision like Mr. Zhao and Boss Chu, but he was able to put forward his own opinions appropriately.
This made Luo Jianjia feel very comfortable in such a conversation, and more and more interested in talking.
Originally, there was a distance of almost one meter between the two, but slowly, in order to make it easier to speak, not only did Chu Wei Leng turn his body, Luo Jianjia also turned around, and the two got closer and closer.
Later, she proposed to make some sweets or other pancakes, and put the fried things into the pancakes.
As a foodie, Chu Wei Leng put forward his own opinions again.
Although it was raining violently outside and the temperature had dropped, the inside felt warm like spring.
The two talked a lot, and before they knew it, the night was getting dark.
Luo Jianjia is used to going to bed early and rarely stays up late, but today she is more interested in chatting and gradually forgets the time.
However, the biological clock was still there, so while she was talking, she kowtowed and took a nap, and then fell asleep directly.
Chu Wei Leng was out on the march to fight, and there were countless times when he stayed up all night, sometimes even staying up for several days and nights, and he had long been used to it.
It's rare to be able to chat with his wife at this time, and he doesn't want to fall asleep at all.
"Is it possible to steam some steamed buns? Fried things are delicious in big soft steamed buns. My lady might as well try it."
Speaking of steamed buns, Chu Wei Leng became more and more interested.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Luo Jianjia's response.
Chu Wei Leng thought that Luo Jianjia was unwilling, so he said: "If the lady thinks that the steamed buns are not suitable, then let's try something else, and always try it first. What if other people like it as much as me?"
After speaking, Luo Jianjia still did not respond.
Just now because he had been lying on his side for a long time, his right arm was uncomfortable, and Chu Wei was lying flat again.
Therefore, he didn't see Luo Jianjia falling asleep.
He thought she wasn't interested in his proposal.
"Miss?"
He was about to turn his head to look at Luo Jianjia, but suddenly there was a little weight on his shoulders, and his arm was hugged again.
And there was a familiar sound of breathing.
Listening to the wind outside the house, Chu Wei thought coldly, the weather is cold, so it's time to add a quilt.
