Chapter 800 Opening a snack shop
Everyone at the table looked at her in surprise, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Li looked at Zhou Guo and asked, "Daughter, tell me, is this idea of yours feasible?"
Zhou Guo did everything in an efficient manner, whether it was selling fungi or fertilizer, or selling grain and running a security company, she was good at everything she did, and her opinions were very important.
When Zhou Guo heard that she wanted to open a snack shop, his first reaction was surprise. He guessed that she had tasted the sweetness of the two mountains next door and now wanted to sell everything she saw.
The second one thought about it sincerely and said, "Mom, I only know how to make this kind of snack. If you open a snack shop, you can't just sell this kind of snack. You have to have more varieties."
Everyone nodded.
But Li didn't take it seriously at all. She waved her hand and said, "What's so difficult about this? I think this pastry can be made into many different styles. Just use this base, make it harder or softer, and make more styles, big or small, round or square. Isn't that a lot of styles? Once they are displayed, they all look good."
The whole family looked at her in surprise; it turned out that there were so many variations of a cake.
Zhou Guo opened his mouth and gave her a thumbs up after a while, "Mom, you are amazing. You can even think of this. Just do it if you want to. I will find you a shop in the county town and find you a few people. The shop will be open in a few days."
Li was very happy, "Actually, this thing is similar to steamed buns. The ingredients are the same, but the appearance has changed. It's the same."
Wu Ya said, "Aunt, you go and do it. I'll cook at home."
Zhou Guo said, "Why don't we call Mrs. Deng over? We still need someone to clean the house three times a day."
Mrs. Li nodded. "I think it's okay. Mrs. Deng, didn't you say that she is getting better and better at cooking? Let her do it. This family needs to eat a lot of food. I'm afraid you can't handle it alone."
We have to eat three meals a day at home. If I cook alone, I will have to stay in the kitchen all day.
Everyone accepted it. After all, Mrs. Li had to go out to make money, and there had to be no one left to cook at home.
Anyway, Mrs. Deng came often. When there were many guests at home, or during the holidays, she would come to help. Over the years, she had become familiar with the family, and everyone was not as hostile as they were at the beginning.
Even the old man didn't say anything, thinking it would be nice to change the taste occasionally and let someone else cook.
Sometimes, it can be a bit tiresome to eat food cooked by one person for a long time.
So the matter was settled, and Mrs. Deng would come to the house the next day.
When Zhou Guo came back from the next mountain, Mrs. Deng was washing vegetables in the yard. The key point was that there were two other women squatting by the well, washing clothes without making a sound.
The old man sat comfortably in the pavilion, drinking tea and playing chess by himself.
Sweet smells came from the kitchen, where Li and Wu Ya were laughing and giggling.
Xu was looking at Xiaohua.
When the third wife saw Zhou Guo coming back, she greeted him respectfully.
Zhou Guo waved his hand, walked to the pavilion and asked the old man, "Master, didn't you say that you only wanted Mrs. Deng? Why are these two women here?"
The old man said without even looking up, "You are blind. You are here to wash clothes. Your mother doesn't even have time to cook, so how can she wash clothes for you? You can't let your sister-in-law wash all the clothes at home by herself. She will be exhausted."
Zhou Guo sat down. "No, it's not that my mother is not used to having strangers at home. This old lady Deng was allowed to come because she has come to our house many times and is familiar with us. She has not come these two times. Besides, Master, don't you also dislike having strangers at home?"
The old man said, "What should we do? Should I wash those clothes? Or should you all wear dirty clothes? These two are pretty good, they are quiet, they have been quiet for most of the day, and their words can be counted on one hand."
Zhou Guo clapped his hands happily, "That's good. My mother just couldn't think of it before. It will be much easier if we let others do these tasks."
He looked at the yard and said, "This yard is still too small. We will add a row of back rooms next year. This way, even if a few more people come to our house, they can still live there without having to face us."
The old man shook his head. "Forget it. We live in the same village. If we make our home too nice, it will only be an eyesore. Let's just leave it like this for now. Anyway, the farm is not far from here. They will have enough time to go back after finishing their work every day."
Zhou Guo thought about it and felt that it made sense. If the house was decorated too well, with many layers of decoration inside and outside, the villagers would be embarrassed to come to the house.
This is good for now, it's comfortable and at ease.
Li acted quickly. She invited the maids back home and started spending day and night in the kitchen.
Piles and piles of finished products were produced.
The whole family has been eating this stuff every day for the past two days.
Zhou Guo was really tired of eating it, so he left, making an excuse that he was going to the county town to find a shop.
The harvest in the county has been good in the past two years, and everyone has some extra money. In addition, many villages have started raising ducks and growing pine mushrooms. With more income, people are willing to spend money.
This has led to more and more shops in the county town, unlike in previous years when there was always a shop available.
Fortunately, she bought four at once a few years ago, gave one to Zhou Xing, sold one for mountain products, sold one for grain, and this last one was left.
The location was not good, so the rent was cheap, so she did not rent it out. She had originally planned to open a temporary shop in the county town to sell crabs if there were too many crabs in the pond. She would open the shop for one or two months every year and would always sell out all the crabs.
Now I can only use it to sell cakes.
She walked around the shop and roughly determined the location. The location was remote, but fortunately the shop was large, so it would be perfect for running a snack shop.
Her mother can also have a kitchen.
The drawings were made at home.
She immediately found someone and started working on the shop.
There were so many people that it only took three days to renovate the shop.
It’s just that the custom-made cabinets haven’t arrived yet.
There is no colored glaze on the north side, so like other dim sum shops, wooden cabinets are used, and some flowers, paintings and screens are arranged around the shop.
The most important thing is the lights. There are lights everywhere in the shop. It looks beautiful at night.
It took Li half a month to decide on the new products to be used for the opening of the store.
Zhou Su praised: "Mom, you are amazing. You have created so many new things in the past ten days. It seems that you should eat this bowl of rice."
Li smiled and said, "How could I, your mother, have such ability? Thanks to your sister, who reminded me of this and that. Otherwise, I would not have been able to make so many things so quickly."
Zhou Guo said, "That's because you are skillful. If I were not, she wouldn't be able to do it even if I told her to. The shop in the county town has been set up, and the cabinets and other things have been put in. I have bought all the ingredients needed, and we have all the pots, pans, and utensils. We are just waiting to open the shop."
Zhou Gu said: "I asked someone to look at it and he said the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day."
