“You don’t have to wash the dishes. You, Erya, and my mother should go and grind the rice!” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“Sure!” Aunt w.a.n.g readily agreed.
She immediately instructed w.a.n.g Erya to bring the rice and go with her and Liu Shi to the mill.
After washing the dishes, Lin Xiaoyuue went to mix the lime water.
The rice from the grain store had been delivered in the morning. There were enough wooden buckets at home, so she was going to make more cold cakes this afternoon.
In the afternoon, she would bring more cold cakes to sell near Qingyun Academy.
Even if she couldn’t sell everything, she was not worried. She could still send them at the market tomorrow morning.
…..
She was short of money for the renovation, and selling an extra bowl of cold cakes would relieve some of her stress.
This time, Liu Shi and the others spent more time grinding 70 catties of rice.
Lin Xiaoyue also spent more time mixing the lime water.
After the preparation work was done, the women started to get busy in the kitchen.
Since Liu Shi had to go out from time to time to receive people from the village who came to buy cold cakes, Lin Xiaoyue simply asked Liu Shi to stay there and not bother with the kitchen work.
She asked w.a.n.g Erya to help her.
Aunt w.a.n.g was still responsible for sending Lin Xiaoyue’s cold cakes to the stream and washing the empty buckets.
Everyone was busy and having fun. It didn’t take much more time than yesterday to make the cold cakes.
After making the cold cakes, Lin Xiaoyue went to find Xiao Qing.
She asked Xiao Qing to write a sign with the words “Liu Shi’s Eatery is currently under renovation. Please look forward to it.” She was going to put it directly in front of the stall later.
She received the calligraphy sign and was about to praise him when her mother’s voice came from outside.
“Yue’er, quickly come out! Aunt Sun and Uncle Jiang are here!”
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted, “coming!”
She put down the sign in her hands.
“Nice! I’ll come back later to get it!” After saying this to Xiao Qing, Lin Xiaoyue hurried to the front yard.
When she arrived, Lin Xiaoyue saw Aunt Sun and Jiang Dahe.
Li Xiao was also there and received the two of them with Liu Shi.
Aunt Sun saw that Lin Xiaoyue had come and said a few words to her. She then said that she had something to do at home and left.
Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao talked to Jiang Dahe about the renovation of the shop.
“We still have to check the start date. Next, you can buy the materials and send them to the back of the shop. We’ll start work immediately so that we won’t waste time.” Jiang Dahe said to Lin Xiaoyue after hearing her explanation.
“It’s in town, and it’s convenient to buy materials. I estimate that it will take two days to prepare. Are there any good days coming?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.
It was not a bad idea to wait for a good date if it wasn’t too far away.
“Yes, in three days!” Jiang Dahe said.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes were filled with joy.
“That’s good. We’ll start work in three days!”
Lin Xiaoyue talked to Jiang Dahe about some of her ideas, especially in the area of interior design.
She even showed Jiang Dahe her design.
After Jiang Dahe read it, he praised Lin Xiaoyue for her novel idea.
“Your shop is in town. 1 can’t say much before taking a look at the shop.”
“How about this, I’ll go take a look tomorrow. When 1 give you the price, 1’11 also calculate the amount of materials you need. This way, you guys can prepare accordingly.”
“Sure! Please arrange a time with Li Xiao. He’ll be in charge of the renovation.” Lin Xiaoyue said..
