In addition to a variety of good wines, Shi Xiaolei also brought back some dry goods that are hard to find in the United States.

For example, the dried plum vegetables used to make pork belly, such as spring bamboo shoots, morels, porcini, chanterelles, bamboo fungus, and the more common vermicelli, yuba, Daylily, white fungus, fungus, etc... Among the four snakeskin bags in the cargo bucket, three bags are filled with these things.

In the remaining snakeskin bag, there are some small objects with Chinese characteristics.

Small lanterns, small hydrangea, Chinese knots, painted face masks, etc. These things, Shi Xiaolei intends to use to decorate the store, adding a little more Chinese characteristics.

"That's right, that's the location."

"Lisa, the string of pendants is a little to the right, okay, that's it."

"Chappell, hang this picture over the counter. It's too close to the kitchen, and it's easy to get smoky."

Although there are not many things, it still took a while to visit, and it took some time to prepare the dishes. Before I knew it, it was about eleven o'clock in the morning, and guests began to come.

Not daring to delay any longer, Shi Xiaolei rolled up his sleeves and headed into the kitchen, where he started taking orders to cook.

I have to say that there is one more chef in the back kitchen, and the efficiency is indeed much higher. No, after just over half an hour of work, Shi Xiaolei discovered a new experience that he had never encountered before—the speed of serving food from the back kitchen turned out to be faster than that of the guests in front. That is to say, before the guests have finished eating and checked out, that is, before turning the table to take the next order, the back kitchen even occasionally gets a few minutes of rest time.

You know, in the past, when only Shi Xiaolei was in charge, he never had such leisure.

As long as he is on the stove, he has to keep frying, frying and frying, until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when there are no guests, he can leave the back kitchen and rest for a while.

'Why don't you let Lao He stay? ’ Suddenly, Shi Xiaolei had such a thought in his mind.

Do it when you think of it.

So, when the time advanced to the afternoon, taking advantage of the lunch break, Shi Xiaolei took the initiative to ask He Liangxi: "Old He, what are your plans next? Do you want to open a shop yourself, or find a restaurant to work part-time?"

Asking the question, you still have to be more euphemistic.

After all, the other party is the nephew of his master, so we have to leave some room for each other. It's best not to push it all the way to the end, so that both sides are embarrassed and unable to step down.

"I haven't thought about it yet." He Liangxi, who was sitting under the air outlet of the air conditioner, picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat, thanked Lisa who brought the iced Coke, and replied, "I've made up my mind these days. If you want to open a store, you will need at least $30,000 to $40,000 of start-up capital. You know, Boss Shi, my two children will be reporting here in a few days, and they have to set aside a sum of money to pay for their tuition. After subtracting the daily food, drink and rent, the money I have left is a little bit worse for me to leave the store."

After a short pause, he poured himself a cool coke, He Liangxi continued, "My uncle has some money in his hand. But as you know, he is an elderly man with some sort of geriatric disease. The medical expenses here in the United States are not as cheap as in China... His money has to be kept just in case, and I have no intention of borrowing it from him."

"So what? Are you planning to go to the bank to get a loan to open a shop?" Shi Xiaolei asked following He Liangxi's words.

"Let's see, wait for my family to come over and discuss it with her." He Liangxi shook his head, with a bit of hesitation on his face: "It's not my business, it's a bit involved, I have to listen to her What should I say? And when I came here, she also said that she would mention it to her parents' side. If she could borrow some from my two elder brothers and bring them over, I wouldn't need it here. Think about loans again."

Inside and outside the words, it means 'more inclined to open their own shop'.

Hearing what he said, Shi Xiaolei had almost given up the idea of ​​persuasion: "What about the store's address? Old He, have you decided where to open the store?"

"Not yet." He Liangxi shook his head again: "I plan to wait for the children to sign up and go around their school."

"Opening a store near the school?"

"Yeah. It's closer to take care of the children, and if you open a store near the school, you'll have guaranteed customers, so it should be easier to run it." Having said this, He Liangxi sighed again: "I just don't know this. Is it the same as in our country... I'm not worried that the rent of the store near the school is more expensive, but I'm afraid that the habits of the students here are different from those of the children in China, and they will not deliberately choose a restaurant closer to the school to eat. "

"I don't know about that, but they should give you some useful information." Shi Xiaolei laughed and pouted at Lisa and the three who were enjoying the work meal.

"Yeah. When my family comes over and decides to open a store, I'll ask them." He Liangxi said seriously: "Think more before making a decision. It's never wrong to be safe."

"That's right." Shi Xiaolei also nodded: "If there is anything I can help with, feel free to speak up."

"I will, Boss Shi, thank you."

"There's nothing to thank you for. You are the nephew of the master, and you have helped me so much. When I have something to help, I should help you." With a smile, Shi Xiaolei stood up: "Also It’s almost time to rest, let’s eat too, we’ll have to continue working for a while.”

"Okay, let's eat first."

Just as he was talking, a crisp wind chime came from the door ~lightnovelpub.net~ turned around and saw that it was 2B who pushed the door and walked in.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Shi Xiaolei was not surprised by the arrival of 2B, but because there was a Yixian behind her: "Didn't you mean to go to the Statue of Liberty for a tour? Is it over?"

"Well, I just finished watching it." 2B smiled and nodded, "I planned to go back directly, but Yixian said he wanted to come and have a look."

"oh oh."

Meeting Shi Xiaolei's gaze, Yixian's eyes were filled with curiosity and eagerness to try: "Meaning...that, Xiaolei, is there anything I can do to help?"

Ever since he found out that Shi Xiaolei opened a small shop in New York, and was busy in the shop every day, Yixian fantasized more than once that he came to the shop to help him, and used his craftsmanship to contribute to the shop.

She was just a little worried that Shi Xiaolei would not agree, so she kept holding back.

And now, when she came to the store, she finally couldn't hold back the thought hidden in her heart. She lifted the lid called 'Uneasy' and quietly came out.

"Help? No, Yixian, why are you suddenly..." Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt that the current situation was indeed in line with Yixian's character. Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but stop asking, with a faint wry smile on his face.

Lisa, Claire, Chappell, and He Liangxi were also a little surprised by what Yat-sen said.

"Boss." One of the roughest Chappell raised his hand: "Who is this little beauty? Aren't you going to introduce us?"
