Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 281 "Interesting" opening (3)
After introducing in detail one by one, her plans for the small stalls on the second floor, Lin Xiaoqiao picked up the cup and drank some tea.

Widow Zheng didn't express any opinion after listening to it. She took the two sheets and read them twice before she said: "You have set so many meals, and some of them still need special kitchen utensils. How can you arrange them in an orderly manner? Make sure that everyone belongs to their own and there is no confusion?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao smiled and replied, "I took this into consideration when I was renovating before. The kitchen downstairs is dedicated to making pastries, and each stall upstairs has its own kitchen. The small kitchen stove should not interfere with each other."

Widow Zheng nodded after hearing this. This girl started to do things seriously, and she was very thoughtful, so she praised Lin Xiaoqiao approvingly: "Well, it's so good to be able to plan step by step, little girl. Qiao girl is not only smart and clever, but also thoughtful!"

For such compliments, Lin Xiaoqiao didn't care very much. She had exhausted her mind in this new shop these days, if she couldn't get the approval and affirmation of others, wouldn't it be a waste of effort.

Lin Xiaoqiao rubbed against Widow Zheng's body again. She really liked the elegant fragrance from Widow Zheng's body. Although Li Shi also used the same balm and body lotion as her, it was not as refreshing. Elegant taste.

She leaned on Widow Zheng's body lazily, and said with some worry: "The thing that worries me the most now is the shortage of manpower in the shop."

Widow Zheng enjoyed the little girl's closeness to herself. From Lin Xiaoqiao, she indeed found a lot of feelings from her daughter who died young.

Seeing Lin Xiaoqiao's frowning look, Widow Zheng raised her hand and stroked her brow gently, and said softly: "You are so young, don't always be so frowning! What's the matter, we don't It’s all negotiable. If you don’t have manpower, just recruit as soon as possible!”

With soft words in her ears, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly felt that she was not so impatient anymore. She told Widow Zheng what she was thinking, and said, "I don't really want to hire people. After all, this There are many types of snacks in the store. There are some hidden worries, like the six stalls on the second floor. I want to find two people to be in charge of each stall, and there are fixed two people who are responsible for the fixed ones. Stalls. Before opening, I always have to teach them how to make each snack, and I need to train a little bit! If I have trained here and taught them, they suddenly give me a pick and quit. I temporarily If you can’t find the right person to take over, what will you do then?”

"Then what do you mean?" Widow Zheng asked after hearing what Lin Xiaoqiao meant.

Lin Xiaoqiao sighed, and said: "Alas - after much deliberation, I still think it would be more appropriate to buy people back. But really counting, there are at least twelve people upstairs, and there are also bakers downstairs who make cakes every day. At least two people are needed, so it will take fourteen or five people! All the servants in our family are added together, and there are not fifteen people. I don’t know if my mother will agree to take the money. And , with so many people, how will they be settled by then?"

After saying that, Widow Zheng sneered, tapped the little girl's forehead lightly, and said: "Little girl, you are waiting for me here, do you want me to go to your mother to get the money?"

"Hey - only Aunt Zheng can easily handle my mother, my mother is not the most listen to you on weekdays. If I ran to tell her by myself, she would definitely say that I am messing around!" Lin Xiaoqiao put his arms around Zheng Widow's neck, coquettishly said.

"Okay, I'll take care of this." Widow Zheng couldn't bear it the most. The little girl showed her daughter's posture in front of her, so she agreed.

"At that time, Aunt Zheng will have to accompany me to pick someone!" Lin Xiaoqiao took advantage of the situation and continued to make requests.

Widow Zheng gave her a funny look, and said readily, "Okay, there's no problem."

"Then how do we solve the resettlement problem of the ten or so people who bought them back? There is a backyard behind the shop, but there are only three rooms. It can't accommodate so many people at all. Let's live alone. This courtyard cannot house fifteen more people." Lin Xiaoqiao continued to discuss the next question.

Widow Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "Since there are three rooms in the backyard of the shop, let them huddle together first. Each room is built with a big bunk, and five people can sleep in one room."

"Ah - this is not good. They are tired from working every day, and five of them sleep in one room. Is it comfortable to be crowded like that?" Lin Xiaoqiao was still thinking about the problem in a humanitarian spirit. , as soon as Widow Zheng's words came out, she thought about it differently, thinking that if she was tall enough to sleep with four people, she would not be able to accept such a thing.

Widow Zheng lamented the kindness of this girl, and she was quite soft-hearted towards those servant girls. As for the little girl Lu Zhu next to her, the two of them fled back and forth all day long. It was not like two masters and servants. Like sisters.

Touching Lin Xiaoqiao's soft hair, Widow Zheng persuaded: "We have no other way now, the weather is still relatively cold, let them squeeze together first, and wait until the weather gets hotter, then Think of another way."

Lin Xiaoqiao was silent for a moment, then nodded helplessly, and said, "Oh—that's the only way to go first."

After the discussion was almost over, she leaned on Widow Zheng again, took a pen and paper, and carefully wrote down the things she had to prepare next.

For example, buy people, make a detailed list of various snacks and pastries, prepare all the ingredients, tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans before the shop opens, and find a blacksmith shop to do it. Several special kitchen utensils.

For example, molds for various pastries, pots of various shapes and sizes, special stoves for making pancakes, etc.

They were all recorded one by one, and they filled four sheets of paper. After finishing writing, Lin Xiaoqiao read it again by himself, and showed it to Widow Zheng again. He felt that everything was sorted out. Xiaoqiao decided to act immediately.

She quickly got on the bed and put on her shoes, pulled Widow Zheng and said, "Aunt Zheng, let's act now, go and buy back the shop's manpower first, so we can spend more time training them!"

Seeing the little girl's eager expression, Widow Zheng couldn't help laughing at Lin Xiaoqiao: "You clever brain, why is it not working well now!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao showed a dazed expression, and said puzzledly: "Aunt Zheng, what do you mean by saying that? I don't understand why, there are only six people left before the shop opens." It's time for a day, I have to hurry up, there are still a lot of things I haven't done yet!"
