Silly Zhu complied and signed his name on the contract.
Cao Weidong looked at it, put the contract away, and then took Shazhu into the store to have a look.
This shop used to be a teahouse. All the tables, chairs and benches are there, and the decoration is good. Basically, it can be put into use with simple modifications.
Cao Weidong is responsible for the decoration.
He made a rough estimate.
I think the hotel will be open to the public in a month at most.
The next important thing is to decide on the dishes.
After all, for a restaurant, the food is the soul and the key to attracting customers.
Cao Weidong put forward some opinions based on what he saw in his previous life. He asked Shazhu to go home and think about it carefully and give him a charter in a few days.
Silly Zhu agreed, and then walked home in a daze.
It wasn't until he took off his coat and sat on the bed that Silhu woke up from the trance of unreality.
No, do I officially open a store now?
He was stunned for a long time, and finally remembered what Cao Weidong had ordered, so he walked to the desk and sat down, took out a pen and paper from the drawer, and planned to list all the dishes he was good at.
Just at this time, Xu Damao came back from outside, holding a brand new suit in his arms.
Xu Damao passed by Sha Zhu's room and saw Sha Zhu at home through the window, so he turned around, opened the door and walked in.
"Silly Zhu, what are you doing?"
Xu Damao shouted.
Silly Zhu didn't even raise his eyes and continued to write on the paper.
Xu Damao took a few steps closer and said as if to show off.
"Silly Zhu, what do you think this is?"
Silly Zhu said impatiently.
"Go away, I don't have time to play with you today."
"Silly Zhu, let me tell you, this is a suit. Do you know that a suit is only worn on formal occasions and is a symbol of status?"
Silly Zhu said to himself.
"Hey, by the way, do you know how much this suit cost me? If I tell you, I will definitely scare you to death."
After hearing what Xu Damao said, Shazhu finally raised his head and focused his eyes on the clothes held in Xu Damao's arms.
This is the most popular suit nowadays. I heard that the price is not cheap. Silly Zhu saw it from a distance when he passed by a clothing store and did not dare to go in.
He knew that Xu Damao was here to show off to him, but he still pretended to be disdainful.
"How much money can this thing cost? It's only worth forty or fifty yuan at most."
For a movie projectionist, forty or fifty is almost half a month's salary.
However, Xu Damao shouted.
"Forty or fifty? Silly Zhu, are you kidding me? This is a custom-made suit. Forty or fifty yuan is not even enough to hire a tailor."
"Let me tell you, this is a two-piece suit that I asked my master to tailor for me. One set costs more than 800."
Silly Zhu's face was full of disbelief.
"You said this thing costs more than 800? I don't believe it."
Xu Damao took out the purchase receipt from his trouser pocket and waved it quickly in front of Si Zhu.
Although it only passed by in a flash, Shazhu still saw the numbers on the purchase receipt clearly.
In the past, Shazhu might have been emotional, but now...
He neatly put the pen and paper into the drawer, then walked out of the yard, saying something to Xu Damao as he passed by.
"You go out too, I'm going to lock the door."
Xu Damao asked in confusion.
"What are you going to do?"
Silly Zhu explained very seriously.
"I'm going to call the police. Where did you get so much money to buy a suit? This must be something wrong. I'm going to ask the police comrades to check you out."
Xu Damao choked.
"Silly Zhu, don't you want to see other people's kindness? My money comes from a clean source. It's earned from doing business."
Silly Zhu paused in his steps.
"Business? What business?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Damao also went into business. It seems that business is the future trend. Fortunately, he was appreciated by Cao Weidong, which can be regarded as a step to the sky.
Silly Zhu felt very happy.
Xu Damao patted his suit and said happily.
"Don't worry about what I do. Anyway, the money I make is innocent. It's useless even if you are jealous."
"It is indeed the right thing to leave the company. If I were still in the company now, half a year's salary would not be enough to buy a set of clothes. Don't you think so?"
"Let me think about it... Oh, by the way, your monthly salary is only more than eighty yuan. Even if you don't eat or drink, you still have to save for ten months."
At this moment, Xu Damao's vanity was greatly satisfied.
Silly Zhu looked at Xu Damao with squinting eyes, was silent for a long time, and said.
"Xu Damao, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"Bet, what do you want to bet on?"
"Let's not give up ten months. In three months, I can buy two sets of customized suits. Do you believe it?"
Xu Damao almost burst into laughter.
"Silly Zhu, your head was caught in the door and you bought two sets of suits in three months. How is this possible?"
Silly Zhu said excitedly.
"Xu Damao, just tell me whether you dare or not?"
Xu Damao said indifferently.
"Let's bet. What's wrong with you? What's the bet?"
Silly Zhu said.
"If I lose, I will invite all the neighbors in the hospital to dinner, and in front of all the neighbors in the hospital, I will admit that I am no better than you. If you lose, you will do the same. Do you dare?"
Xu Damao stood up suddenly.
"Okay, that's it. Let's go find the three uncles and ask them to testify..."
Silly Zhu sneered twice and followed Xu Damao out of the room.
.......
Cao Weidong saw Sha Zhu off and walked alone along the old street for several miles, passing through several streets and stopping in front of a supply and marketing cooperative.
He looked into the store and saw the familiar figure.
So Cao Weidong walked in, walked to the counter, and said to the teller inside.
"Liang Ladi, long time no see."
"Who..."
Liang Ladi was lowering her head to take care of her accounts. When she heard someone calling her name, she raised her head and answered, but the voice suddenly stopped.
"Weidong?"
She couldn't believe her eyes and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Are you back?"
Cao Weidong said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's been a while since I came back. I've been busy during this time, and I just got some leisure time."
"Sister Liang, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I didn't expect you to change your workplace. I also relied on many connections to find out that you were transferred to work in the supply and marketing cooperative."
"How is your job now?"
Liang Ladi had a happy look on her face.
Then she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression turned a little complicated.
Cao Weidong probably knew what Liang Ladi was thinking.
According to the information he received, Liang Ladi had remarried not long after the storm.
And the man is a chef in a machinery factory.
Although it is not Nan Yi, to a certain extent, this can be regarded as a return to her original destiny.
Cao Weidong can understand.
After all, it is very difficult for a woman to raise four children without a man to take care of her.
Moreover, Cao Weidong had a transaction with Liang Ladi at the beginning. When he left Sijiu City, he gave the other party some money and rice and noodles, which was regarded as a settlement.
Today is also a day where I meet my friends from back then on a whim.
