The vegetables in the garden have not yet fully grown, most of them are still seedlings.
They also had to go to the town to find some vegetable farmers who could supply vegetables, and Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan were responsible for these tasks.
The remaining women in the family carried buckets and basins to the restaurant.
Before opening, do a thorough cleaning inside and out.
The restaurant is very big, with two floors. The first floor is an open dining hall, and the second floor is partitioned.
There is a large yard at the back with sheds on both sides where some things can be stored.
At the back there is a row of houses that can be used to store vegetables, fruits, and also for living. It is quite complete.
"Grandma, there's even a bed. We can just bring a quilt over and live here."
"That's not true. Once the restaurant is open, we'll need someone here. We'll have to arrange two people to keep watch at night."
"Yeah, this is a must. If there are any sparks left behind, it will be the end of the game."
The family walked around and almost prepared everything.
There is a well in the yard that is specially used by the restaurant. In addition to this well, Zhou Mingshu also used a bamboo pole to draw fresh water from the river, which can save a lot of effort in fetching water when washing vegetables and dishes.
Everyone was very satisfied with this, as it freed up one person to fetch water.
Tables, chairs, benches, cutlery, bowls and chopsticks, everything that could be wiped inside and out was wiped, and everything that could be swept was also swept. Now it was really clean.
The restaurant could only open in two days.
Qi Xu did not follow the Zhou family back with their group of people. Instead, he went to the tent and looked around. Unexpectedly, he found his second brother was really there.
"Brother, you are here? I thought you were not here again."
"Why are you here? Aren't you killing ducks in Lianglin Village? Do you want to come back and help me?"
Qi Rui's three consecutive questions almost left Qi Xu speechless.
"Come on, second brother, what can I do? I can only kill a duck. Did you use the soap I left for you a few days ago? Is it useful?"
Qi Xu opened his starry eyes and looked at Qi Rui with anticipation.
Qi Rui crossed his arms, his eyes looking somewhat nonchalant.
Looking at the workers in the distance, he narrowed his eyes and said, "It's useless."
"What? Useless? Are you really useless?"
Seeing Qi Rui's indifferent look, Qi Xu just lay on Qi Rui and sniffed him like a dog.
"Qi Xu! Are you born in the year of the dog?!"
Qi Rui jumped away when he felt the itch on his body.
"Brother, you still don't admit it. I can smell the scent of soap on you. This soap is mixed with medicinal herbs. I can smell it as soon as I smell it."
Seeing that he was exposed, Qi Rui stopped pretending and said, "So what if I used it?"
"Don't you find this soap very useful? It can be used for scrubbing the body and clothes. Even if there is grease and blood on the clothes, it can be washed away. We can definitely use it in our barracks. Don't you plan to buy some for the brothers to use?"
"So this is what you were planning?"
Qi Xu scratched his head in embarrassment when he realized that his little thoughts had been seen through.
"Brother, what I said is true."
"I know, but the world is peaceful now, brothers don't fight, there is no blood to wash."
When Qi Xu heard this, he felt that this was the case. It seemed that his soap promotion plan was really going to fail.
He thought he would be safe.
Seeing his brother so disappointed, Qi Rui raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's not impossible to buy some when the mine is running later."
As soon as Qi Rui finished speaking, Qi Xu punched him on the shoulder, "Second brother, I knew you would agree."
"Stinky boy, I haven't seen you for a while, but your strength has improved~"
"Of course. I do boxing every morning. Besides that, I also help the Zhou family with farm work. I can only make progress and never regress."
"That's good. If you've had enough fun, why don't you come back and help your brother share the responsibilities?"
"Forget it. I'm just a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. How can I help you? Just don't make things worse. You mustn't expose our relationship. They don't know about it."
"Alright, alright, get out of here now. You're always causing me trouble."
Qi Xu laughed out loud, "Second brother, when the canteen opens in a few days, come over for dinner. You know that the Zhou family's cooking skills are always very good."
Looking at his brother running away, Qi Rui smiled and waved his hand.
Of course he had to go to the canteen when it opened.
Not only will he go, but Lord Xue and County Magistrate Niu will also go.
The night before the canteen opened, the Zhou family was so excited that they could hardly sleep.
The vegetables, chicken, fish, meat and eggs were delivered to the warehouse early in the morning, and the firewood was also stacked in the shed.
Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er even rested in the cafeteria just to look after these things.
Everything is ready and they are just waiting to start work tomorrow morning.
As soon as the day began to dawn, the chickens in the chicken coop started chirping.
Old Mrs. Zhou, who hadn't slept a wink all night, could no longer lie still.
He got up quickly, tidied up the yard, and prepared breakfast early.
It was not even the usual time to get up, but she woke everyone up.
"Hurry up, everyone, get up. Today is the first day, everyone should go early, so as not to be in a hurry when the time comes."
Everyone stopped sleeping in and were busy washing up and eating breakfast.
The donkeys and cows were all in the village. After a group of people finished eating, Zhou Laosan left with the full car of people.
The rest of the people sat in the donkey cart at the back. San Ya had a good relationship with the little donkey, so the family felt at ease letting her drive the car.
He took the hired dishwasher and vegetable washer with him, locked the door and went to the canteen.
Today is not only the opening day of the canteen, but also the opening day of the iron mine.
Since the sun rose, the sound of firecrackers in the mountains has never stopped.
With the people coming to work and seeing others off, the place was bustling inside and outside.
Zhou Mingshu did not prepare firecrackers in advance. She thought that her restaurant was different from restaurants outside, so she did not prepare any.
I don't know where Qi Xu got the two strings of firecrackers from, but he picked them up with a bamboo pole and he and Zhou Mingzhi stood on the left and right of the door to set them off.
After the two strings of firecrackers were set off, there were many more firecracker paper flowers on the ground, scattered on the ground in a red patch. It looked really festive and attracted many children to grab them.
"San Ya, I see Lord Xue and Magistrate Niu are here too. Maybe they will come here later."
"That's great, let's keep them here for lunch then."
After half an hour, the canteen entrance became less busy, so everyone started to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
In addition to the dining table for guests, the front hall also has two counters and a fence.
Zhou Mingshu adopts the small-bowl dish model of modern chain stores. The meals are prepared in the kitchen early in the morning, served in bowls and placed on the counter for customers to choose, and then they can pay at the end of the fence.
It was too troublesome to pay with copper coins, so she made wine tickets, meal tickets and vegetable tickets.
This is a very convenient move for both the guests and them.
Vegetarian tickets are green, meat tickets are red, meal tickets are white, and drink tickets are yellow.
Just order whatever dishes you want and pay the bill at the end.
