Chapter 386: The wonton stall needs a shelter, Nanxing has a talent for designing

An Yumo was also doing the math. Since she returned to Lan County, the wonton stall business has been getting better and better. As the weather got colder, more and more people wanted to come and eat a bowl of steaming wontons. However, her stall was at the entrance of the alley, without any shelter. The hot soup she brought out would cool down in the blink of an eye when the cold wind blew.

Should I build a shed? she wondered.

It would be better to build a shelter somewhere, but the shed is heavy and needs to be built with the help of someone else's wall. Whether others agree or not is one thing, and the alley entrance is probably occupied. The patrolling police will definitely not agree and will drive them away.

Should I just rent a small shop? In that case, the cost will increase, the price of wontons will go up, and the business may not be as good as it is now. It's really difficult to deal with.

I will be returning to Luocheng County in a few days, I will ask my father then. An Yumo put down the abacus, put the strings of copper coins into the money box, washed up and went to bed.

The next day, Nanxing set up the stall as usual. He brought a big bowl to buy wontons and rubbed his hands tremblingly.

"Miss An, please give us more soup."

"Okay, I'll fill it up for you."

"Miss An, you guys have been working hard. You've been busy here early in the morning in such a cold weather, and you don't even have a place to shelter from the wind." Nanxing continued.

"Yes, I was worried about this." An Yumo shook her head and threw another handful of wontons into the pot.

"It would be nice if we could wrap it with cloth and put it away when not in use."

An Yumo stopped what he was doing and said, "Nanxing, have you seen her?"

Nanxing waved her hand, "No, I just thought so."

An Yumo was delighted. "Nanxing, I heard from Xirui that you are very capable. Can you help me think of a way to make a place that can shelter from the wind, open it when in use, and close it at any time when not in use?"

"Ah?" Nan Xing blushed a little, "Miss An, I don't have any skills."

The wontons in the pot were floating. An Yumo scooped up the wontons and said, "Nanxing, I trust you. If you help me, the wontons will be free from now on."

"It's not about the wontons..." Nanxing felt embarrassed.

"It's okay. If you need anything, just ask Xiaohu. It doesn't matter even if you fail." An Yumo served the wontons and pushed the bowl forward.

Nan Xing finally nodded and said, "Since Miss An trusts me, I will give it a try."

"Well, thank you. Here, take it." An Yumo smiled.

Nanxing carried two bowls of wontons back to the clinic, thinking about making a wind shelter, and almost bumped into Xiaoqiang.

"You're feeling groggy early in the morning. Cheer up."

"Sorry~" Nanxing smiled, brought the wontons to the back hall, and handed a bowl to Lin Mingxuan.

After work in the evening, when dusk fell, Nanxing walked while imagining what the awning that could be moved at will would look like. He already had a rough idea in his mind.

"The easiest way is to make a big, sturdy umbrella and then add cloth around it," he muttered.

"What are you mumbling about?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"Master, Miss An wants to build a shelter that can be taken away at any time. She asked me to help think about it."

Lin Mingxuan pondered for a moment: "That's not easy."

"Well, I've thought of a few ideas. I'll go back and draw them."

"Hey, our Nanxing is so smart?"

"Young Master!" Nan Xing's face wrinkled, feeling both funny and aggrieved.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Just do your job well. Tell me if you need help."

"Okay, but, Master, you should finish what you have on hand first. I'm waiting to sell it for money."

"Bad boy." Lin Mingxuan slapped him.

The two went home and had dinner, each busy with their own things. Lin Mingxuan melted the beeswax and boiled the comfrey, waiting to open the jar and mix it tomorrow. Nanxing took out some paper and drew several pictures.

A large umbrella, with a curtain, and a circle of tables placed around the umbrella handle, with guests forming a circle, saving space, it seems to be OK. Lin Mingxuan came over and took a look: "What should I do if there is a strong wind? The umbrella can be blown away easily..."

Give up for now.

Make a rack at both ends, then make a ladder with equal spacing to support both ends, and then put the cloth on top?

"We have to find a way to stabilize the frame, otherwise it won't be able to withstand the force of the wind." Lin Mingxuan continued.

"Pick the heaviest wood at the bottom."

"This still doesn't work. When the wind blows, it will easily bend to one side." Lin Mingxuan gestured a few times with his hands.

"Yeah." Nanxing nodded and continued thinking.

"I'll add two more sticks to the sides of the racks at both ends to secure them. This way, we won't have to worry about strong winds."

"It should be possible." Lin Mingxuan nodded slightly.

"Great, I'll think about how to make the shelf." Nanxing danced with joy and continued to draw with great interest. Lin Mingxuan smiled and went to the bathroom alone to boil water and wash clothes.

"After Nanxing finishes her work, I have to start working on the horse-drawn washing tub. Winter clothes are heavy, and it's really tiring to wash clothes once." Lin Mingxuan thought silently, shook his hands, and pounded his shoulders.

After work the next day, Nanxing was in high spirits and was eager to show the picture he had drawn to An Yumo. An Yumo was entertaining guests, so he called Xiaohu and handed the picture to him.

"Go find a carpenter to make the shelf, and then buy some thick cloth to cover it." Nanxing said.

"Why does the size look so strange?" Xiaohu opened his eyes wide and moved closer to the drawing to confirm it again.

"Look, the stall is at the entrance of the alley, and the table for customers is in the alley. It can't be too wide so as not to affect pedestrians." Nanxing walked over and gestured.

"The small square table we are using now takes up a lot of space. We can replace it with a long table and put it against the wall. The wind shelter doesn't need to be too wide, as long as it can cover people. Guests won't stay here for long, they come and go, so we can make several door curtains for easy opening and bring in wontons at any time."

"Is it easy to assemble and collect?" Xiaohu asked.

Nanxing pointed at the blueprint and explained further: "The two shelves on the left and right and the two long wooden sticks on top are considered large items, and the others are short wooden sticks. If the joints are well connected, the wooden shelves will definitely be firmly connected together. There are also two other sticks underneath for support, so they can be used for a long time."

Xiaohu looked at it again, still with some confusion in his eyes.

Nanxing was a little impatient. "If you don't believe it, you can ask a carpenter to take a look. They have experience and can make some changes."

"Okay, I got it. I'll tell the lady later. When the task is completed, there will be a handsome reward." Xiaohu smiled and clasped his fists.

"Then I'll go first." Nan Xing also smiled and went back to the clinic to call Lin Mingxuan home.

After the wontons were sold out and the stall was closed, An Yumo smiled happily under the light of the lanterns, "Nanxing is great, and he also helped us think about the space issue."

"Then I'll ask the carpenter tomorrow." Xiaohu said.

"Well, if it's feasible, let Xiaoqin cut the cloth and sew the windshield."

"it is good."

An Yumo looked at the now empty alley and began to look forward to it.

A few days later, Xiaohu and Xiaobao pushed a cart to the entrance of the alley and called Nanxing from the clinic.

"It's done so quickly?" Nanxing looked surprised.

"Yes." said the little leopard.

"The carpenter modified the shelf, look." Xiaohu said, holding up an object.

The shelf that Nanxing had originally envisioned could not stand upright, so the carpenter added three sticks to form a triangular area at the bottom of the shelf.

"That's great. This way, installation will be more convenient." Nan Xing smiled.

"Yes, we can also save the wooden sticks used to reinforce the frame. Come, help." Xiaohu said.

"it is good."

Several young men worked together and quickly assembled the materials. At this time, Xiaoqin came in holding a big package, panting.

"Look at it, can you cover it up?" The weather was cold, but Xiaoqin still wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Let's unfold it and see."

The package was opened and the two sides were pulled apart, revealing a colorful cover in front of everyone, with large areas of gray-blue, spliced ​​with red, green, yellow and blue, and a few pieces of cloth that seemed to be printed with small flowers.

"Xiaoqin, it's so beautiful. Is it made like this on purpose?" The other three were very curious.

Xiaoqin waved her hands and poured herself a bowl of water: "Of course not, my lady and I went to a fabric store a few days ago and happened to see the boss selling all kinds of scraps of cloth at low prices, so I came up with this idea. It looks great, right?" She was a little proud.

"Yes, it's so bright that you can see it from far away." Nanxing said.

"Let's put it up quickly."

"okay."

Climbing onto the stool, he put the cloth on the shelf. A large area against the wall was gray-blue, and the door curtain was gorgeous, which was particularly eye-catching under the clear sky. Several people walked back and forth, admiring it.

"Put up the long table. The young lady will be here soon," said Xiaoqin.

"it is good."
