After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Erlang took his familiar craftsmen to the town to build a restaurant.
Jiang Zhou and Wen Yan had cleaned the restaurant a few days in advance. At Jiang Zhouâs request, a whole strip of carved doors was used to separate the area from the back door to the middle compartment. Three-quarters of it was fixed.
The one outside was made into a sliding door at his request, with two polished and rounded small wooden wheels embedded underneath. Half of the sliding doors were grooved, so that they were tightly sewn together.
A small counter was built outside near the door. The semi-circular counter could block the wind blowing in from outside when you sat down. The door and the window were removed and made into a sliding door.
The originally fixed window was pushed out. It was embedded in the sliding door and still opened outward. If the person sitting on the side wanted to breathe, just open the window. On a sunny day, moved the sliding door to both sides to enjoy the sun. If it was sunny, they could pull it back after the rain stopped.
Because the restaurant was small, there was no need to sit by the window. When the door was opened, they could see the outside at a glance.
The place was small, so Jiang Zhou didnât have the usual large table. He struggled for a while when he could not place a hardwood âsofa,â but gave up.
Instead, he used a mortise-and-tenon structure and stuck wooden boards on the wall, forming a circle. After clearing the table, the extra space in the middle was filled with a long table that looked like the table in the canteen in the travelerâs memory.@@novelbin@@
When the construction of his restaurant started, Liu Erlang was amazed â he had repaired many houses and restaurants. When had he ever encountered such a decoration requirement?
At the beginning of the repair, he was dubious. But Liu Erlang had more experience. As soon as Jiang Zhou asked him, he could figure out what it would be like if the repair was successful. Most of the other craftsmen thought Jiang Zhou was fooling around.
How could any snack restaurant be built like this?
However, after the actual cultivation, facts spoke louder than words. The small restaurant was fully equipped with all the necessary equipment. Because there were not many large tables, it saved a lot of space and looked much more sophisticated.
The restaurant project was not big, and it was all wood-related. It was mainly about craftsmanship, so the repair speed was very fast, and it was completed in only ten days.
.
After the restaurant was done, Jiang Zhou and Wen Yan were busy cleaning out all the rubbish in the restaurant. Lu Xiangxi was originally going to help, but he had also recently used the money he earned from selling sponge cakes and his own savings to open a restaurant on this street and couldnât come. So, Jiang Zhou and Wen Yan had to clean it up on their own.
Wen Yan was cleaning the kitchen. Jiang Zhou, who was taller, took a feather duster to sweep away the dust. He was standing on a chair and dusting the high places with his tiptoes when suddenly three people stood at the door.
Jiang Zhou bent down and took a look, and felt that he looked familiar, so he asked: âWho are you looking for?â
The man opened a fan and shook it, and said in a very arrogant tone: âAre you the owner of this restaurant?â
It turned out that he was looking for him. Jiang Zhou got off the stool: âWhatâs the matter?â
He looked carefully at his style of wearing gold and jade, and found someone from his memory â it turned out to be the young master who had teased Wen Yan.
Young Master Liu rolled his eyes, walked around in the restaurant, and waved his hands: âSmash it with me!â
The two servants he brought with him immediately stepped forward to take action, but Jiang Zhou slapped him with a feather duster, and it was so cruel that the two servants screamed in pain.
He was obviously holding a feather duster in his hand, and if he used too much force, the feathers would fall out, but in the eyes of the servants, Jiang Zhou had the aura that one man could stand against all others.
To be honest, Jiang Zhou was a handsome guy. He looked quite gentle on weekdays. Once he raised his eyebrows, he immediately became more energetic. His sharp eyes made people dare not move.
Liu Buping flinched under his gaze but still mustered up the courage to shout: âWhat are you doing standing still! Smash it with me!â
He screamed so hard that the servants who didnât dare to move, he had to step forward again before moving. After a moment, Jiang Zhou slapped them again, and they immediately retracted his feet.
Jiang Zhou showed no mercy this time, swiping twice and giving Liu Buping a hard slap.
Liu Buping couldnât believe it: âHow dare you hit me?!â
âMy father has never hit me!â
Jiang Zhou saw him jumping in pain, and a smile appeared on his lips: âWhat? You want to smash something, why donât you let me beat you?â, he sneered: âYou are going to smash the restaurant, and I have to treat you politely?â
Wen Yan had already come out when the servants screamed, holding a half-rubbed rolling pin in his hand, and said warily: âWhat are you doing?â
Liu Bupingâs eyes lit up when he saw Wen Yan: âLittle shuanger â¦Ouch!! Why are you hitting me again!!â
Jiang Zhou took back the hand that was using the feather duster and said, âWhat are you doing here?â
Liu Buping was already a pampered person, when Jiang Zhou used the feather duster, two streaks of red appeared on his hand. The mark was so swollen that it still hurt a little.
He immediately turned red and cried, âYou hit me again!â
Jiang Zhou pointed at the two servants with a black line and a feather duster: âWhich one of you will speak first?â
The servant looked at me and I looked at you and spoke in a trembling voice: âOur young master said that the uncle will be exiled because of youâ¦â
Jiang Zhou raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liu Buping, thinking that it turned out to be Liu Chengfengâs son.
He originally went to investigate Master Liu before taking care of Liu Lin. In addition to his personality, he also knew that he had a pampered son, but he didnât know that this son was someone they had met.
.
Liu Buping was still sobbing and crying, âUuuuuuuuuuuuuâ¦â¦Hiks!â
He burped loudly.
Like a farce, Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes unceremoniously: âHe brought it upon himself, still blaming me?â
He did not expect that it was not Madam Liu who came to make trouble first, but Liu Buping, the eldest nephew, who couldnât sit still.
He waved the feather duster in his hand and saw Liu Buping shrinking his neck with satisfaction.
In fact, Liu Buping was just hot-headed for a while.
Liu Lin usually pleases Madam Liu and Liu Chengfeng, but the two of them had a common weakness, Liu Buping. Therefore, Liu Lin had always been kind to Liu Buping, and would give him whatever he wanted.
It could be said that Liu Buping was half as coquettish. He was trained by Madam Liu and half by Liu Lin.
As a result, he went to the academy, and when he came back, he heard that his uncle had been imprisoned and exiled â so that was not okay!
He asked his father angrily, automatically ignoring his fatherâs previous sentence that it was Liu Linâs fault, and remembered the second half of the sentence. This matter was probably related to Jiang Zhou.
After Jiang Zhou got a restaurant, he came with his servants. âthen he was beaten.
He reluctantly dusted off the dust from his body, and secretly looked at Jiang Zhou from the corner of his eyes. He wanted to cry but didnât dare. He was so depressed.
After taking care of Liu Buping and his servants, and successfully asking them to clean the restaurant, Jiang Zhou leisurely took a rag to help Wen Yan wash the pots and pans. He was very pleased with the free labor.
