Chapter 173 Opening a Store (3)

"My wife wanted to open a shop by herself to do some small business before she was alive. It just so happens that you are also short of a shop now. You can satisfy my wife's thoughts by opening a shop here. I believe she will see the opening of the shop she took care of. I'll be happy afterwards."

"But this..." Liu Xiaodong still felt that this was not good.

The old doctor Zhou said, "Anyway, it's a waste to be so empty. Since you need it first, you can use it first. At least it can add some popularity to this room. Of course, I didn't give it to you for nothing. If you open a store here , it’s very close to the hospital, Xiaozhuang and I are counting on you to cook for us.”

Liu Xiaodong knew that old doctor Zhou said this deliberately because he was afraid that he would not agree, so Liu Xiaodong looked at Xiang Qin and wanted to hear his opinion.

"I think it's a good place." Xiang Qin meant to agree to Old Doctor Zhou to open a shop here.

Liu Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, "Okay, but old man, we have to figure out the rent. I'll go to the broker tomorrow and ask about the rent here, and then I'll pay you the rent on a monthly basis. What do you think?"

"There is no need for the rent. When you cook for us, it will be considered as paying off the rent."

Liu Xiaodong asked anxiously, "How can this work? It doesn't take much effort to cook. You have already helped me a lot. If you don't charge me for the rent, I won't dare to rent it."

"Well then, you don't have to ask the broker. You can just pay the rent as you see fit. Anyway, I am not short of this money as an old man. The most important thing is that you will be responsible for cooking for me in the future." The meal bought outside Old doctor Zhou is not used to eating, and the food cooked by Xiaozhuang is really unpalatable.

Liu Xiaodong glanced at Xiang Qin, then smiled and said to Old Doctor Zhou, "Don't worry, we will take care of all your food after we move here."

The old doctor Zhou touched his beard a few times in relief, "It's very good, very good."

After the business of the shop was settled, Liu Xiaodong decided to tidy up the things at home in the next few days and move them here early, so as to open the shop early.

Mrs. Zhou had arranged everything in the shop before her death. Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin only needed to bring in their personal things and things for making snacks.

In the past two days, Xiang Qin also built an iron rack specially used for barbecue. Although he opened a dim sum shop, he can also sell barbecue when Xiang Qin hunts prey, and the two businesses will not be delayed.

It took Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin a day to tidy up all the things in the house. In fact, there was nothing to bring, just a few changes of clothes and two quilts.

After packing up, it was already dark. The next morning, Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin took their luggage to the town. No one had been in the store for a long time, and it still needs to be cleaned before people can live in it.

Xiang Qin went to the well in the backyard to fetch a bucket of water, and the two of them began to tidy up. Although the shop looked small, it didn't feel easy to clean it. All the places had to be cleaned from the inside to the outside.

It took Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin three times to clean the lobby alone, not to mention the backyard, kitchen and bedrooms on the second floor. It took a whole day to clean the lobby, bedrooms and stairs.

Liu Xiaodong was so tired that he had no strength at all, his stomach was growling with hunger, but he was so tired that he didn't want to move at all, let alone cook, and the kitchen hadn't been cleaned yet, so Xiang Qin went out and bought a few Steamed stuffed bun, two people make do with it.

It took two days just to clean up the house, and Liu Xiaodong had another day of rest. On the fourth day, he went to the street to buy a set of firecrackers and set them off on the day of the opening. The materials for making dim sum and the steamer were also ready. up.

But now there is still an important problem, that is, Liu Xiaodong has never been able to think of a suitable name for the store.

"I think it's better to call it Dim Sum Shop." Xiang Qin helped Liu Xiaodong think of a name.

"Dim Sum Shop, Dim Sum Shop." Liu Xiaodong repeated himself twice, "This is a good name, straightforward and easy to remember, so let's use this name."

After discussing the name of the store, Xiang Qin went to a carpenter to make a plaque. This is a delicate job. The carpenter said that it would take three days at the earliest. Liu Xiaodong thought that the plaque would not be opened in these three days, so why not go home Once there, tell Tian Shi that he is going to open a store, and ask Tian Shi and Liu Shi to come and see it when it opens.

Liu Xiaodong was a man of his word, he said he wanted to go home and locked the door of the shop, and went home with Xiang Qin.

As soon as he came back to Taohua Village and ran into Mrs. Tian, ​​Liu Xiaodong asked Xiang Qin to stop the carriage first, "Mother."

When Tian heard the voice, she turned her head and saw a carriage. Who else could sit in a carriage in the village except Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin, "Dongniang? Where are you going?"

"Mother, you come up first, and I'll tell you in detail." Liu Xiaodong pulled Tian Shi into the carriage as well.

This is Tian's first time riding in a carriage. Sitting in the carriage, she feels that everything is strange. After observing the inside of the carriage carefully, Tian asked, "Why do you have to be so mysterious to talk about it?"

Suddenly a thought flashed in Tian's mind, "Could it be that you have it?"

Liu Xiaodong hurriedly looked outside the carriage, but fortunately Xiang Qin didn't hear him, "What's there, no." Of course Liu Xiaodong understood what Tian said.

"Then what are you trying to tell me by being so mysterious?"

Liu Xiaodong took Tian's arm, "Mother, Xiang Qin and I are going to open a dim sum shop in the town, and it will open in a few days. I would like to invite you and my father to go and have a look."

Tian was shocked, "What? You opened a shop in the town?"

Liu Xiaodong looked at Tian helplessly, and didn't know how her mother's startled temperament was developed, "Mother, please keep your voice down so that no one can hear you."

Tian also realized that she was too excited just now, so she lowered her voice, "When did you open a shop in this town? How did you get so much money?"

Liu Xiaodong first bought a carriage from the outside, and now he said he was going to open a shop in the town. Tian almost wondered whether the Liu Xiaodong in front of him was still her daughter.

Naturally, Liu Xiaodong couldn't tell the truth to Mrs. Tian, ​​"Originally, this shop was bought by Mr. Zhou's wife when he was alive. Later, after his wife passed away, this shop has been vacant, so Mr. Zhou lent it to me to open the shop. , it can be regarded as a full account of Mrs. Zhou's thoughts when she was alive."

Mrs. Tian knew about the relationship between Liu Xiaodong and Mr. Zhou, so after Liu Xiaodong explained it in this way, Mrs. Tian had no doubts.

"By the way, mother, what are you doing here?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I was going to see you, but I just met you when I came out. By the way, I told you to go to a doctor for treatment. Have you gone?"

"I'm in good health, why should I take care of it? The medicine is three-point poisonous. How can the medicine be taken indiscriminately?" Liu Xiaodong felt a headache when Tian asked this question again.
