The wealthy man's wife is a sideline [rebirth]

In November, the weather turns cold.

The winter in Jincheng is relatively long, and the temperature drops very quickly in the early winter, and a thin sweater is already added to the coat.It started raining at three o'clock that day, coupled with the wind, there were no pedestrians on the road.

After class, Su Qiao stared at the decoration in the rented shop.The old man who opened the bookstore some time ago moved all the things away, and the place looked empty.

The store space has been re-divided to make it appear very open.Originally, a part of the space behind the bookstore was not well utilized, but now it is all vacated for storage of ingredients and a kitchen.There was also a recruitment notice posted on the door. Part-time and full-time waiters are welcome to apply. Su Guoan will contact one or two suitable candidates for the chef, and will only wait for the time to come to work in the store.

When Su Qiao told her family about her plan to open a store, she received considerable support.Su's father and Su's mother knew that the youngest son had no intention of working in the family's company, so they didn't want to force him, and felt that it would be okay to raise him for the rest of his life.But knowing that Su Qiao is willing to do something on her own, she is still happy.Su's father gave Su Qiao another bank card on the spot, as start-up capital, the amount was not small, enough to realize Su Qiao's idea of ​​opening a chain store.

——But when he went back to the apartment and mentioned it to Luo Yunshen, the man was not very happy.

The white walls of the store have been painted, and the warm yellow chandeliers shine brightly, making it not so cold in the rainy day.Su Qiao ordered a large number of log-colored dining tables and chairs, as well as decorations, and only waited for the decoration to be completed before they were delivered together.

The workers worked hard, talked a few words from time to time, and finished quickly.It was early six o'clock, the sky was already dark, the wind and rain outside were getting heavier, and there was a chill in the air.

Su Qiao looked at the raindrops falling outside, thought for a while, and said, "Let's stop here today, and the rest will continue tomorrow."

The workers stopped what they were doing when they heard the words, a little hesitant.

The decoration is paid on a daily basis, and it is not worthwhile for customers to delay the work for two or three hours.They rarely encountered this kind of thing, and they were not sure for a while.

"It's not finished yet," someone said. "For the same wages, we work less, that's not okay."

Su Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay. Pack up and go home. I'll call a car for you later."

Su Qiao heard these people talking before when she was staring at the decoration. The workers basically have a lot of family pressure.

So it is basically impossible to choose to call a car to go home.

The rain started suddenly in the afternoon. These workers did not bring umbrellas or raincoats. The bus stop was near the school. It took about seven or eight minutes to walk there, plus the waiting time... Braving the cold wind and rain in November, the first You may have a cold or a fever for the next day.

Su Qiao didn't intend to be a pickpocket, and a little empathy made him unable to sit back and watch these middle-aged men who were the pillars of the family brave the heavy rain and walk to the bus station to get a ride.Thinking that these people are also someone's father or son, and thinking about her own parents... If she didn't have the current living conditions, she might have to face such a difficult situation, Su Qiao felt a little sad.

He called a car on the mobile app and told the workers to wait a while.

The workers looked at each other and wanted to refuse, but the leader said embarrassedly: "This is too troublesome, should I give you the fare?"

Su Qiao shook her head, thought for a while, and said, "It's not a big deal. Just come here on time tomorrow. Let's all go home early. Thank you for your hard work."

Having said that, the workers couldn't refuse anymore, and put down the tools in their hands one after another, and put them away one by one.When the taxi came, he stood at the door of the store chatting with Su Qiao and thanked him.

After the decorators left, the store was empty.Su Qiao stood for a while, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, thinking whether she should call the driver at home.

The phone suddenly "ding dong" and received a new message.

Su Qiao opened it and took a look.

[Luo Yunshen: It's raining.Haven't come home yet? 】

Su Qiao typed slowly: No, it's in the shop.

He didn't know where he got the habit of typing very slowly, almost pressing one key at a time, and he was a little more cautious than speaking.After each sentence is typed, it will be checked again before it is sent out.

Like a snail.

[Luo Yunshen: I'll go pick you up. 】

Su Qiao looked at the rain curtain outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the water flowed into streams and flowed towards the lower ground.The glass windows rattled rhythmically.

【Su Qiao: Okay. 】

He chatted with Luo Yunshen.

[Su Qiao: Are you off work already? 】

"Ding-dong-"

[Luo Yunshen: Yes. 】

"Ding-dong-"

[Luo Yunshen: No entertainment today, it's early. 】

The ding-dong sound of the mobile phone kept ringing in the empty room, and the light from the screen shone on Su Qiao's face, making the smile on his face more obvious.

After standing for a while, Su Qiao moved her legs, feeling a little silly.

Even though there were stools in the store, he had stood by the window without moving since he received the news, laughing at the messages on the phone without substance, without even thinking of taking a break.

He sighed for some reason, and muttered, "Strange."

……

Ten minutes later, Luo Yunshen's car arrived. After seeing the license plate, Su Qiao turned off the lights in the store, picked up her schoolbag, and went to lock the store door.

It was a bit windy outside, so it poured into the collar of the self-defense jacket, stuck to the skin, and then slipped away from the hem.Su Qiao buckled the lock, and shivered uncontrollably.

Luo Yunshen got out of the car with the umbrella in his hand, went to Su Qiao's side, noticed that he was trembling, and frowned, "You wear so little?"

Luo Yunshen had a meeting in the morning and went out early, but Su Qiao only had class in the third period, and he hadn't woken up yet, so he naturally didn't know that Su Qiao went out wearing only a sweater.Now that I saw it, I was a little dissatisfied, and my eyes sank.

Su Qiao rubbed her arms and whispered, "It's okay."

There was a bit of the usual indifference on the face of a boy of this age.

"It's a little cold right now, but I'm indoors the rest of the time, so I don't feel much." Su Qiao said. "Besides, Mr. Luo, don't you wear very thin clothes, are you cold?"

Luo Yun gave him a deep look, but said nothing.

Knowing that there was nothing she could do about him, Su Qiao smiled, stuffed the keys into her backpack, got under the umbrella, and the two of them walked towards the car together.

The door was closed, blocking out the cold air outside.Without the wind, the temperature is quite suitable. Su Qiao stretched her limbs, leaned against the back of the chair, and began to mutter to Luo Yunshen about what happened during the day.

For example, he accidentally fell asleep for ten minutes during class, and he didn’t want to go to the dinner party organized by his classmates. He stared at the decoration in the afternoon and suddenly wanted to make a fake fence outside...

Thinking of what to say, I finally vowed: "Tonight, I will make up the time I spent in class and sleep, and preview the content later, and review what I forgot."

Luo Yun raised his eyebrows deeply, but did not respond.

After arriving home, Su Qiao started to cook dinner.After the temperature cooled down, he made a soup almost every day, and today was no exception.Because it is a simple meal, the soup that needs to be simmered for a long time is naturally left behind, and it is replaced with a light cooking that can be cooked immediately.

Fresh Flammulina velutipes tastes crisp and tough, with the unique sweetness of fungi.Together with the pre-fried tomatoes, add water and boil. When the sweet and joyful bubbles are bubbling in the pot, put the chopped baby vegetables and frozen tofu with a small piece of rock sugar.Add salt and a little bit of other condiments until it's time to cook.

Su Qiao poured the soup into the white porcelain soup basin, looked at the light and clear color, and nodded with satisfaction.

Luo Yunshen was cutting the onion on the side, the knife was sprayed with water in advance, and he himself didn't seem to have any special reaction to the pungent smell released by the onion, his face was still indifferent, and his eyebrows didn't move much.

This disappointed Su Qiao who was secretly looking forward to seeing a tearful Mr. Luo.He curled his lips, put oil in the hot pan, sautéed ginger and garlic, then added chopped onions, and stir-fried them with a spatula, letting the oil coat them all.

The pungent and pungent smell, under the action of high-temperature hot oil, gradually transformed into a strong fragrance, and the skin of the onion gradually became transparent, showing some signs of softening.

The part where the edge was cut by the blade gradually took on a tan color.Here's proof that onions are becoming delicious.

After the onions were fried until they were half-cooked, Su Qiao added the marinated beef slices into the pot, and watched the deep red beef curl up under the high heat, turning into a beautiful tan, covered with the oily and shiny sauce, exuding Alluring fragrance.

Before cooking, add a little black pepper. After the heat is stimulated, the taste is strong and spicy.

In addition, there is garlic pork belly in the refrigerator that he marinated before going out in the morning. At this time, he took it out and fried it for a while. While the fat was sizzling on the pan, the strong smell of garlic immediately swept the whole space. The dish is done when both sides are a nice golden brown.Served with chopped cabbage in a white porcelain plate, it is greasy and delicious.

The dinner for two people didn't make any big tricks, it was basically something that can be eaten at home.Su Qiao went out humming a song, and sat at the table to have dinner with Luo Yunshen. In the end, there was basically only seasoned ginger and garlic left on the plate, and everything else was eaten.

After eating and taking a bath, Su Qiao changed into pajamas, sat on the bed and read a book, and his textbooks were placed on the small table next to her.

When the weather turned cold, his assortment of plush pajamas finally came in handy, soft and warm.

Su Qiao's lower body was covered with a quilt, and she was half leaning against the head of the bed, reading a book with a distressed face. The notebook in her hand was full. He was holding a pen, and the cap of the pen was pressed against his lips, making that part a little white.

Within 2 minutes, Su Qiao scratched her head and said, "What does this mean..."

He doesn't know much about the things in the textbooks, and it's okay to say he doesn't know anything, but it's still a bit difficult to figure out what he missed in class by himself, let alone the basic knowledge.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to review the previous knowledge little by little, and then combined his notes to understand the contents of the textbook.

After concentrating on studying for a while, Su Qiao yawned and leaned back wearily.

so tired.Su Qiao thought in her heart.

I don't know why, but when I'm studying, I either want to sleep or go to the bathroom, or I feel restless, and I can wander around and think of other places when I look at the square characters in the textbook.

Is it a common problem of scumbags?Su Qiao unconsciously poked her cheek with the tip of the pen, thinking blankly.Learning is really hard.

……

Ten minutes later, Su Qiao held a pen in her hand, and the book was spread out to the side.I had already curled up into a ball, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The warm light hit his face, and his eyelashes fluctuated when he breathed. It seemed that due to his posture, he didn't sleep very comfortably, so he snorted in his sleep and wanted to turn over.But in the end it didn't work out.

Luo Yunshen went to the study to deal with some matters, and saw this scene when he returned to the room.

He shook his head, put away the book as usual, and placed it on the small table next to him, then asked Su Qiao to lie down and covered her with a quilt.

"Good night." Luo Yunshen kissed Su Qiao on the lips and whispered.

In the middle and late ten days, the decoration of the store was completed, and a signboard was hung at the door.

Su Qiao originally wanted to use "Jiujiu's Kitchen" as the name of the store, but was opposed by Luo Yunshen, and was half-coaxed and half-coaxed into changing the name.

Su Qiao thinks about it and thinks that the name of the store is too imposing. If she competes with Song Shi Ji on the other side, the name on the other side is so serious, but her side looks like something in a cartoon...

Lost in momentum.

Su Qiao thought angrily: It's better for the Song family to take up her surname, and the name of the shop seems to be nice.

However, he didn't think of any alternatives. In the end, under Li Mao's suggestion, he simplified the complexity, discarded all the messy and gaudy store name options, and directly decided to call it "Su Ji".

There are no special features, but it is easy to remember, and you will never forget it after reading it once.

Diagonally opposite Song Shi Ji has been full of customers since its opening, and every meal time is full of students or white-collar workers.It is adjacent to the university, and it is quite prosperous. Many people who work nearby will come here for a simple lunch. Songshiji mainly focuses on Chinese fast food. With its superior taste and reasonable price compared with ordinary shops, it has established a firm foothold in Jincheng. The number of branches is second only to Golden Arch and Kaifeng.

However, this is also due to the fact that the Song family has developed locally in Jincheng. The Songshiji branch radiates to several surrounding provinces. The farther away, the fewer stores there are, and there is no trace at the other end of the motherland.

Su Qiao only has a lonely store in hand, but she already has delusions of destroying Song Shiji.

It's a bit like daydreaming, but...the dream is always there, whether it can be realized or not, and you won't charge money for making a wish.Su Qiao thought silently.

During the days waiting for the renovation to be completed, many people came to apply for waiters.Among them was a woman in her thirties, surnamed Zhong, who had worked in other restaurants for a long time and had work experience. Su Qiao arranged for her to be the foreman, called her Sister Zhong, and handed over the recruitment to her. .

There is no barrier to entry for this job, and one or two days of basic training is enough to be competent, so Su Qiao is not too worried.Looking back after a few days, Sister Zhong has trained the recruited people very well.

Li Mao and Cheng Yishu often came to the store to help out when there was no class, and they stopped playing ball and games.Both yelled that the opening must be too busy, and they can provide free services.

The roommates were very kind, Su Qiao scratched her head in embarrassment, and said, "It's too much trouble for you."

Cheng Yishu patted him on the shoulder with a very strong hand, and said with a smile, "You're welcome."

The opening is coming soon, Su Qiao is in a mess, and it is a great blessing for him to have someone to help.He had no choice but to say: "After this period of time is over, I will treat you to dinner again."

Neither roommate had an opinion.

Su Qiao was thinking about opening a store before, but when she did it, she realized that it was not at all what she thought.He originally thought that with sufficient funds, everything would go smoothly, but in fact, problems continued to emerge.

From the grasp of the ingredients and taste, to the small menu design and the LOGO on the napkin box...everything has to be decided by him.Su Qiao's personality is not strong, and she finds it very difficult in this regard, and often vacillates.

The closer we get to the opening, the more we realize that we are not prepared enough.

Su Qiao didn't even want to cook when she got home these few days, and even waited for Luo Yunshen to bring food to the room to eat.

Luo Yunshen said a few words to him, neither serious nor serious, without much force.

Thinking of this, Su Qiao was a little dazed, and smiled softly with her mouth pursed.
