Chapter 249 Decision (1)
Zhu Qingqing and her mother Zhu Yingying returned to their modern home while her father and his family were enjoying hot pot in the backyard. They had made an appointment with their godmother Jiang Suyun to meet tonight.
When the mother and daughter arrived home, they found that in addition to Jiang Suyun, Shifeng and Lin Jingyuan were also there. As soon as they entered the door, they could feel a warm and lively atmosphere in the house.
At this time, the operating room had already been carefully tidied by Jiang Suyun, and all the matters that needed to be handled were arranged properly. Seeing all this, Zhu Qingqing couldn't help but feel grateful to her godmother. Her godmother was also busy with her own clinic, and she had to come here to help clean up in the evening.
Mother Zhu and Jiang Suyun seemed to have endless private conversations. They tacitly walked into the room, closed the door and went to talk in private, leaving Zhu Qingqing, Zhu Yingying, Shifeng and Lin Jingyuan in the spacious and bright living room.
Zhu Qingqing was the first to break the silence. She said with a determined look, "While everyone's here, I have something to announce. I've made up my mind! With the cold weather and the New Year just around the corner, it's the perfect time to open a hot pot restaurant! We must seize this opportunity and make our first fortune there!"
Shifeng nodded repeatedly, expressing his complete agreement with Zhu Qingqing's idea. "Master, you're right! This season, people love to gather around and enjoy hotpot. If we start planning now and run it until early May, we'll have almost half a year of business! Once the weather gets warmer, we can consider switching to other types of catering. However, Master, you have to hurry up and find a suitable location, renovate it, and purchase tables, chairs, tableware, and other preliminary work. I'm worried that with so many things piling up, it might be difficult to officially open and welcome customers anytime soon."
Zhu Qingqing said confidently, "As long as we can find an empty house or a slightly larger yard, everything else won't be a problem! I'll go out and look for a suitable shop tomorrow. With the help of the Yang family, it won't be too difficult. As for the tables, chairs, and tableware, you can go to the flea market and find some for me."
Lin Jingyuan frowned and said worriedly, "Master, the tables and chairs are indeed small matters, but the most critical issue is how to solve the fire source? Here everyone usually uses liquefied petroleum tanks, but over there..."
Just then, Zhu Qingqing was about to open her mouth to explain, but Zhu Yingying couldn't wait to interrupt her, "Oh, what's there to worry about? Can't we just use a charcoal stove? We've already tried hot pot tonight. We used a small charcoal stove and placed a clay pot on top. It was just perfect! It's just that the table is a little small. But it doesn't matter. We can move the existing hot pot table over here, cleverly embed the charcoal stove in it, and put the clay pot on top. Wouldn't that be perfect!"
Lin Jingyuan nodded, this is a good idea.
Zhu Yingying continued, "Sister specifically told us to dine in the courtyard today. The aroma wafted far away long ago! Sure enough, it attracted everyone from the Yang family! Sister must have planned this all along, right? I guess tomorrow, there will be a lot of people coming to ask us what delicious food we had yesterday. Hehehe... Sister, you've quietly started advertising like this."
Lin Jingyuan quickly nodded in agreement, "Master is still Master after all. He always considers things in a long-term and thoughtful way. Okay, we'll listen to Master."
Zhu Qingqing instructed, "So, Shifeng and Jingyuan, you'll be busy for the next few days! Not only do you have to search everywhere to buy tables, chairs, tableware and other items, but you also have to contact the suppliers properly to ensure a stable and sufficient supply.
I plan to officially open for business in about ten days."
