Chapter 701 Nangong and His Wife’s Small Restaurant
After resting at home for a few days, Mr. and Mrs. Nangong began to work on their previous plan: today is the day for the opening of their small restaurant.
As planned before, they want to reintegrate into today's earth society: find a job to support their family, and live a stable life without attracting attention - this is the happiest life in their minds. .
The two of them had already found a store for sale at the corner of the street and made most of the preparations to open a small restaurant. However, due to many things that happened later, they delayed things while following Hao Ren. . Now that everything is settled at home, the couple is getting busy. Nangong Wuyue and Nangong Sanba naturally followed with great interest to help prepare for the opening, while the others were idle at home, so they went over to help pack things.
The store is small and located at the corner of the street. It was originally a renovated bungalow shop. Before the renovation, the house structure included a single room for the shop owner to rest and a relatively spacious place for counters and shelves. Later, the original owner added a simple room built with a color steel structure to the front of the house for convenience. It greatly expanded its space. The Nangong couple fell in love with this store precisely because of its structure: the place where the counter was originally placed can be used as a kitchen, and the color steel room can be reserved for diners, making it perfect for opening a small restaurant.
Nangong Wudi came to this newly rented store early and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to realize this wish... A hundred years ago, when Elsa and I first lived in seclusion, we thought about it. When will the world be peaceful? It would be nice to find a peaceful place to open a small shop and sell some groceries or porridge and rice. But I didn’t expect that I would be taken to another world for a hundred years in a daze... I finally came back, but this wish turned out to be the opposite. It’s come true.”
Nangong Sanba looked at his father in surprise: "So dad, did you still have this dream back then?"
"I had two dreams back then. The first one was to become the best master in the world, to slay demons, protect the Tao and help world peace. The second dream was to open a small shop," Nangong Wudi said seriously, "later I met your mother, and I only have the second dream. A goal.”
Hao Ren was listening and thought to himself that not only did his name have a personality, but he also had a personality when he made the vow. Do you think there is some connection between the two wishes?
Lily yelled next to her: "Uncle, you speak quite like a modern person now, don't you no longer call yourself me?"
Speaking of which, Lily is not necessarily much younger than Nangong Wudi, but this Husky is a guy with a sharp mind, and he comes up with his ideas as soon as they come up. In addition, the guys in Hao Ren's family can drive people crazy if they really talk about their seniority. So no one cared about her yelling.
Nangong Wudi smiled: "Sometimes I still have to bring back my old habits when talking, but I change them very quickly. But then again, the world has changed so much... Now I just talk to people about daily things. There was no problem at that time, but once you talk about uncommon words, you really can't understand them. I'm ashamed to say that I can't even read the novels you wrote. Even if I know the simplified Chinese characters, I can't recognize the words you use in modern times... Your book What kind of 'gay' is that..."
Before Nangong Wudi could finish his sentence, he was quickly interrupted by Lily's whimpering. The husky girl jumped more than one meter high as if someone had stepped on her tail, but no matter how loud her whimpering sound was, it didn't stop Wudi. The first half of the uncle's words caused everyone in the circle to look at Lily with strange eyes. Hao Ren even subconsciously kept a distance of more than two meters from the husky spirit: "Lily... why is the scope of your works getting bigger and bigger?" Extensive..."
"Can you please stop making trouble!" Lily's eyes were rounded with anxiety, "I just need it for the plot! I'll write about this topic soon!"
This time, even Nangong Sanba followed and stepped back three meters: "Why is it getting more and more dangerous the more I hear it?"
Lily stared at Hao Ren and then at Nangong Sanba, then put her hands on her hips and said, "Do you believe that the leading male lead and the second leading male lead in my next book will be you two?!"
Hao Ren and Nangong Sanba immediately said that Mr. Husky has immeasurable merits and a broad mind, and he will definitely not get into trouble with two mere straight men. However, Nangong Wudi remained confused and lowered his head to discuss with his wife: "Elsa, you know... …”
"Dad! Stop asking!" Nangong Wuyue shouted at the top of his lungs, then turned and walked towards the store, "Hurry up and help pack things!"
A few days ago, Hao Ren had helped Nangong and his wife hire a decorator to slightly change the structure of the store. He also installed essential things such as stoves and freezers, and the materials needed on the first day of opening were also installed. The preparations were completed yesterday. Today everyone came here mainly to set up tables and join in the fun to prepare for the opening. Originally, Nangong and his wife only planned to sell breakfast, but after seeing the condition of this store, they decided to open a serious restaurant, so today's opening time was set at noon. Seeing that it was already getting late, the couple wasted no time and started working hurriedly. Lily jumped to the middle of the room and started jumping up and down to give directions: "Hurry up, hurry up! The landlord and Sanba go clear the table! Bat, you go help aunt prepare it. Side dish! Go clean the glass in May! Big guy... Big guy, you can't move around here, go outside to greet the guests. I ran to tell the news to the neighbors yesterday, and everyone said they would come to support...ah By the way, firecrackers, firecrackers, I want to set off firecrackers!”
While Hao Ren was being driven haphazardly to work by Lily, he blinked at Vivian who was passing by and said, "This girl is crazy again."
Vivian pursed her lips: "A dog that likes to shoot off cannons... What's wrong with her evolution?"
A large group of people were noisily preparing for the first day of opening, but in fact there was really not much to do: the preparations that needed to be done had started a few days ago and were basically completed as of yesterday , today this group of people are not so much here to help, as they are just having fun. This can be seen just by looking at Lily's cheerful look: this husky has no idea of doing anything serious in his head. After the tables and chairs in the store were arranged properly and all kinds of cut and mixed cold dishes were put into the freezer, Lily immediately ran to the back room and ran out with a large box of firecrackers. She was as happy as a child. When she held the firecrackers, her smile was almost shining: "Landlord, come and set off the firecrackers with me!"
Hao Ren glanced in the direction of the kitchen, where Elsa and Vivian were sorting things out in a hurry: after all, it was the first time for them to do this, and it was also the first time to use the new kitchen. Neither of them were familiar with it. Yesterday Some of the ingredients and condiments prepared in the evening were forgotten where they were placed at noon today. Fortunately, Nangong Wuyue couldn't stand it any longer, and things got better after she went in to help: Snake girl is not good at anything else, but her memory is really better than the two in the kitchen.
"Probably nothing will go wrong..." Hao Ren muttered, and then he was dragged out by Lily who looked excited.
Nangong Wudi looked at the still empty street: "I actually became nervous when things happened... Isn't there no one coming?"
Nangong Sanba comforted his father with a smile: "Don't worry, although there are few people in the southern suburbs, there is a strong sense of humanity. Lily notified all the neighbors she knew yesterday that our restaurant will open today. Everyone knows what to say. Come to cheer me up."
While he was talking here, there was a sudden crackling sound on the street in front of the store, mixed with the girl's shout of joy: Lily had lit the firecrackers for the opening of the restaurant.
Nangong Wudi and Nangong Sanba looked at each other and walked quickly outside the store.
The lively and loud firecrackers crackled together, and the smoke of gunpowder rose up in the streets. In the middle, there might be a "thong" sound from two kicks jumping into the sky and exploding. Lily held the lighter and happily jumped up and down next to Hao Ren, cheering loudly in a nice voice: "Open it up!!"
Hao Ren smiled and looked at the girl next to him who was happier than the owner of the restaurant: "I think there is no need to set off firecrackers with you here. You are more lively than firecrackers."
Elizabeth held her head and watched this scene in a daze. This was the first time she had seen this earth custom. The little girl was shocked: "Wow! I didn't expect you guys to be the tough folk customs!"
Hao Ren glanced at the little devil in confusion: "Does this involve tough folk customs?"
"Crazyly lighting a lot of explosives -" Elizabeth pointed to the smoke, "This is not what devils do when they celebrate festivals!"
Hao Ren suddenly felt speechless. After holding it for a long time, he could only pat the little devil on the head: "You will be surprised when the Chinese New Year comes. According to your standards, the firepower we unleashed during the Chinese New Year is enough for a local war."
Elizabeth: "?"
