Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

As for the lobby on the first floor.

Set up some swing rattan chairs and tables.

It can't be too crowded, so 12 groups of tables are designed.

The lobby area is 13 meters x 5.5, with 12 sets of tables and chairs arranged in two rows, 6 sets in each row. They don't need to be arranged in a very regular pattern, but can be designed loosely.

Even with the addition of soft furnishings, it won’t appear crowded.

As for the second floor, it is all made into private rooms.

Going out of the stairs, there is a 13X10 layout, with a corridor in the middle and private rooms on both sides, large and small, which can be made into 8 private rooms in total.

These are convenient for the young ladies and ladies to get together and chat.

Zhao Yuanzhen was designing the drawings while drawing.

Since you are going for the mid-to-high-end route, you might as well use glass containers for desserts and drinks.

Of course, each cup must be printed with a pattern to prevent theft.

Another thing is the waiter. For men, choose those who are good-looking. For women, choose those who look pretty and clean.

Apart from Lan Ying, there are no other maids in the family, so we have to buy some.

As for the men, Zhao Yuanzhen needs to think carefully about whether to buy more or recruit people in the village to provide villagers with a way to make money.

Desserts are all simple. Tomorrow I will give Xiaohui a dessert and drink recipe book and let her learn it with the cook at home.

As for the materials, you provide them yourself.

I wrote and drew for a while, thinking about what I needed to prepare, and then I went to sleep.

While having breakfast, Zhao Yuanzhen shared her ideas with everyone.

"I plan to renovate the big shop I bought before and open a dessert and sugar water shop. I will start the decoration preparation soon."

"Grandma, what is a dessert shop?"

"Just like the drink we had last time, even if it was just sugar water, we have made more varieties and used more ingredients, which are more high-end. We will go for the mid-to-high-end route for now, and then make adjustments if necessary based on the sales situation."

"Ah! I love that dessert. Grandma, let's open a dessert shop!"

Zhang Zijin really can't forget Yinzi.

"You little greedy cat."

Qian Xiaohui scratched his little nose. This greedy little son of hers.

"Xiaohui, Zhijuan, this cookbook is for you two. It contains recipes for desserts and syrups. You two can study and lead the cooks to make them. I'll put all the ingredients in the warehouse later."

The restaurant where they ate was just their family and Qian Xiaohui, and everyone else ate in another restaurant. They were not used to having servants waiting on them while they ate, so they always ate with their family.

"Yes, okay, mother. We both promise to complete the task."

After dinner, Zhao Yuanzhen took Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan to the warehouse to store materials.

In the early stage of the shop, you don’t have to do everything. Just do some signature items and then add new products slowly.

As for the ingredients, you can choose more than 10 kinds of syrups.

Taro balls are a must.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the menu and selected items while thinking about what to buy.

Taro balls, red beans, grass jelly, milk, tangerine peel, mung bean paste, lotus seeds, wolfberries, sweet potatoes, glutinous rice flour, longan, pear, matcha powder, peanuts, yam, pumpkin, rock sugar, fermented glutinous rice, lily, glutinous rice, sour plum soup powder, dried peaches, red bean paste, and treacle.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought everything and took it out together. Her heart was not twitching very badly, mainly because most of the things were available in Daliang Dynasty. There were only a few that were not available. After this, when she bought seeds or seedlings for planting, it probably wouldn't hurt anymore.

Add the dates, brown sugar, white sugar, white fungus, peach gum, bird's nest, etc. that were added earlier.

Sweet water: signature taro balls, bird's nest and white fungus soup, mung bean ball soup, caramel stewed milk, matcha milk jelly, rock sugar and snow pear, sweet potato and red date ball soup, peach gum, red bean and osmanthus milk, five-red milk sweet water, five-red yam soup, fermented rice wine pumpkin balls, red date, wolfberry and white fungus soup, brown sugar and egg fermented rice wine, brown sugar taro sweet water, red date, lily and lotus seed soup, double skin milk.

Drinks: glutinous rice milk tea, thick taro milk tea, sour plum soup, peach four seasons spring, and several kinds of tea.

Thick silt bubble milk tea, without bubbles, has always been her favorite. Now she will have internship freedom.

Desserts: yam and purple sweet potato cake, yam cake with osmanthus and red bean paste, glutinous rice cake with red bean paste, snow meringue, silt glutinous rice cake, and mochi.

These are completely enough in the early stages.

Zhao Yuanzhen told them the finalized recipe.

Then I started choosing utensils.

For sweet water, use some nice glass bowl sets, which are the kind of sweet water bowls that come with a small plate, a small bowl, a small lid, and a matching spoon.

Drinks were served in glass cups, and I chose a mojito cup.

Desserts are best served on fine ceramic plates.

I bought 10 sets of various kinds and put them in the warehouse, and asked them to use them to install the finished products.

Finally see if the effect is good.

After thinking about it, he called Zhang Xinshu again.

"Xin Shu, your sisters-in-law have made some sweet water. Look at the finished product and think of eight names for the private rooms that sound nice and poetic."

"Okay, Mom, I'll try to get something nicer."

"Well, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go check out the shop."

"Okay, mom, be safe."

Zhao Yuanzhen went there by herself on horseback. Walking in the village, she saw people who were idle at home and thought that she should recruit workers in the village. There would be work to do and money to be made. Only then would the villagers be more motivated in life and not study other people's lives.

He rode his horse to the old house and tied the horse next to the gate.

"Mom, are you home?"

"Sister-in-law, mom isn't home, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

Wu Erping came over frantically. Her sister-in-law must have something good going on. It was rare that her mother was not at home, so she had to come and see her.

"Sister-in-law, where is mother? I have something to ask her."

"Oh, mom is out, you tell me the same thing."

Wu Erping did not give up.

"In that case, I'll leave first and talk to you when mom comes back."

"No, no, no, I'll go find it for you. Just wait!"

Wu Erping was afraid that good things would be delayed by herself.

They ran quickly to the back street, where their mother was chatting with them.

"Mom! Mom, please come back soon. My sister-in-law is back."

Running and shouting.

Zhao Yuanzhen twitched her lips. Her sister-in-law had such a loud voice that the whole village could probably hear it.

Sure enough, after a while, Sun Zhang came back.

"Second brother, come on, let's go inside and talk."

Sun Zhang quickly invited her into the house.

Zhao Yuanzhen followed him into the house.

"Mom, I want to open a shop and hire some waiters. I want to hire them in the village. What do you think?"

"Sure, the villagers know everything about it and can use it with confidence. What kind of shop do you want to open?"

Sun Zhang had long known that the second son's family was capable, and now they were about to open a shop.

"I want to open a shop selling desserts and drinks, like Tremella and Bird's Nest Soup. The shop will mainly sell to wealthy ladies, masters and ladies, so when it comes to recruiting people, I have to look for people who are smart, hardworking, perceptive, steady, not clumsy, and who don't cause trouble."

"Yes, if you open this shop, you have to find some good people, otherwise what will happen if you offend the master and the mistress?"

"Yes, it's best if they have a decent appearance and look neat and tidy. Mother, I don't have much contact with the young men in our village, so I don't know them well. I want to leave the selection to you and my father. Do you have time?"

"There's time. It's icy and snowy here, so it's not a big deal. Your father and I can do it. How many people do you need?"

"Well, let's start with eight!"

"Well, eight. There are so many young men in our village. I will definitely choose the best one with you."

"That's fine. Thank you for your hard work, Mom. You can discuss and choose with Dad in the next few days. The business will open in three to five days at most. I have to stay one or two days to train them."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll discuss it with your father today and get it done for you."

"Okay, then you need to be more careful."

"No, this is as it should be! By the way, do you think it's ok for me to select Xin Youxuan?"

Xin You is the second child in the eldest sister-in-law's family. He is smart and polite. He has been taught by Sun Zhang since he was a child and has not grown up in a bad way.

"Well, that's fine. Xin You is smart and sensible. You can do it, mom."

"Okay, then Xin You will be included. How should I explain our wages to them?"

"As for wages, it's 9 cents a month, including three meals. The working hours are from si hour to hai hour 2 quarters!"

That is from 9 am to : pm.

"So high? This is a lot more than what they earn when they go out to do odd jobs!"

"Well, we work too late, so we have to live in the store. Each person has three days off a month."

"This treatment is the best. There will definitely be a large number of people signing up. Don't worry, you will definitely be able to choose someone you like."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Mom. Do you want to go to work?"

"Me? Can I work there? I'll go only if I can find a job that suits me and doesn't interfere with your opening of a shop."

"Well, there's a dishwasher. It's not tiring. Just ask the kitchen staff to warm up some hot water and sit on a small stool to wash the dishes. You can wash as you go. There aren't many dishes. Are you willing?"

"Of course I will. I can wash the dishes! I can do it. I will definitely wash them thoroughly. Don't worry."

"You have to live there. If you and dad are willing, you can both stay in the inn. Dad will look after the inn and keep watch at night. Is that okay with you?"

"Sure! Of course, we don't need so many people to do the housework. Your father and I are both very happy to have something to do. Previously, your father complained every day that he was too idle and wanted to find something to do, but he was afraid that others would look down on him because of his age. Now this is good. He can work for you. We are both happy. You don't have to pay us, just provide us with food."

"Okay, Dad and Mom, as long as you two are willing, you can't not give money, one tael of silver per person per month."

"No, no, we can't accept it. How can we ask for money for doing things for our own daughter-in-law?"

"Mom, if you don't want money, I won't let you go. Then I'll find someone else."

"Kid, give me less. Just 100 will be enough."

"Then I'll find someone else."

As he said this, he pretended to stand up and leave.

"Don't go, don't go. I can't listen to you."

Sun Zhang was really afraid that she would leave.

"Okay, let's just say this, then mom, I'm leaving first. I have to clean up the shop."

"Yeah, go ahead. Do you want to ask your sister-in-law and the others to help?"

"No, I have to find a craftsman to do the decoration first."

"Okay, then come and call for help if you need anything. Go and get busy! I'll go talk to your father about the selection. Your father is at your second grandfather's house."

"Well, okay, I'm leaving then, Mom!"

"Yeah, go ahead! Be careful on the road!"

Then Zhao Yuanzhen rode away on horseback.

"Mom, my sister-in-law really wants to hire you two! That's 2 taels of silver a month, 24 taels a year! Oh my God, aren't we going to get rich?

No, there is also Xin You. He makes 9 cents a month, 12 months. How much is that in 12 months?

Let me calculate, is it more than 10 taels? Then our family has more than 30 taels of silver a year. Oh my God. I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to faint.”

Wu Erping had been lying in the next room and eavesdropping.

Now that Zhao Yuanzhen was gone, she jumped out excitedly and grabbed Sun Zhang and shouted.

"Keep your voice down, do you want the whole village to hear you?"

Sun Zhang quickly stopped her from shouting because her ears were hurting.

"Oh, right, right, I can't tell you. Others might hear it and snatch it away. Hush! Oh my God! I have to go burn some incense for my second brother and thank him for marrying a good wife. Hahahaha."

Then he walked away muttering something to himself and laughing.

Sun Zhang looked helpless.
