Chapter 1610 - 1605: The New Restaurant Opens

Mu Shuangshuang looked at Yuanbao with a serious face, expecting this silly boy’s performance.

"Ah!

Sister Shuangshuang the Great Beauty

Looks beautiful, heart is kind

Teaches Gua Gua, top-notch

Ah!

Sister Shuangshuang the Great Person

Great at hitting people, making soup

Makes Grandpa and Grandma Yuanbao laugh heartily

..."

After Yuanbao finished, he looked at Mu Shuangshuang shyly and said, "Sister Shuangshuang, how is it, how is it, aren’t you eager to praise me?"

"..."

"Hahaha..."

Mu Shuangshuang was silent for a while, then she laughed heartily, holding her stomach.

So late at night, actually laughing out loud is quite eerie.

But there’s no choice, this boy found a way to make her laugh.

Mu Shuangshuang still hasn’t figured out who taught this boy such strange doggerel.

Although it makes no sense, it’s just funny.

Mu Shuangshuang laughed, and Yuanbao breathed a sigh of relief.

At last, he felt he contributed something to Sister Shuangshuang.

"Sister Shuangshuang, when do you think my second brother will come back? I miss him!" Yuanbao said.

"When he was around before, he always took me to the mountains to hunt, took me here, took me there.

Now that he’s not with me, I have to study every day, so annoying!" Yuanbao sighed deeply.

These words had been bottled up in his heart for a long time.

He never had the chance to say them.

Now, it’s just him and Sister Shuangshuang, he really couldn’t hold back.

"Sister Shuangshuang, I really dislike studying, doing the same thing every day. I don’t like it, not at all!

But if I don’t study, I don’t know what else to do! My second brother wants me to study well, I’m so afraid of disappointing him!"

Yuanbao’s face was filled with worry.

Mu Shuangshuang patted his head.

"Your second brother is fighting in the war, once the war is over, he’ll come back! Yuanbao, Sister Shuangshuang knows you like a carefree life.

You enjoy the days hunting in the mountains, but that’s not all life is about. One day, you’ll leave your second brother and live alone.

Now you have to learn all kinds of skills to help you survive before that day comes.

Hunting can indeed support oneself, but you won’t be alone forever, you will, like your second brother, get married, have little ones. These all require you to take responsibility.

As for your fear of disappointing your second brother, trust me, as long as you’ve tried, worked hard, even if you fail, your second brother won’t be disappointed, he’ll be proud of you!"

Mu Shuangshuang said.

Her words may not be fully suitable for Yuanbao to hear, but he would grow up eventually.

People in ancient times matured earlier than those in modern times.

The principles he should understand might be a good thing to tell him sooner.

"Really? Even if I don’t become a scholar or a scholar, my second brother won’t blame me?" Yuanbao’s eyes widened as he looked at Mu Shuangshuang.

"Of course!" Mu Shuangshuang replied confidently.

"Then I’m not worried, I’m not afraid anymore!"

Yuanbao’s face once again showed a smile.

Kids are just kids, even if they have something, as long as you explain it to them clearly, they can release their negative feelings immediately.

Without that small burden in his heart, Yuanbao walked much faster than usual, and in a while, the two of them returned to the Mu Family’s Third Branch.

...

The next day, early in the morning, after breakfast.

Mu Shuangshuang led Yu Dahai, Xiuxiu, and Wang Guilan’s family, heading to the town.

There were only two days left until the new restaurant’s grand opening.

The name of the new restaurant is still Chengfeng Restaurant.

From the signboard to the pots and pans, everything is new.

A large group of people busied themselves cleaning the restaurant anew, Mu Shuangshuang, Yu Dahai, and Wei Dacong discussed the menu and opening arrangements.

With a new opening, there’s surely a lot to be busy with, and everything requires the three of them to put in extra effort.

"Let’s follow the original menu and add two more snacks or desserts!" Wei Dacong suggested.

"Desserts are possible. Didn’t I make candied sweet potatoes before? We can try those, and I also know how to make another dessert." Mu Shuangshuang said.

Mu Shuangshuang can make taro milk tea.

And taro is easy to make, if pushed out, it might become a hit.

"Then the owner can teach... or you could choose someone you trust! I should have no time to make dessert as I’m cooking." Wei Dacong said.

The roast duck and roasted chicken wings at the restaurant are made by Huang Er, and it’s not suitable to ask him to make dessert as well.

Huang Da, who’s in charge of procurement, does a superb job. He remembers every income and expense of the restaurant clearly.

He even knows where each restaurant buys their ingredients and how much they cost.

As for Yu Dahai, the steward, he needs to oversee the overall situation and certainly can’t make dessert.

"How about letting Wang Guilan try? She was supposed to help out in the kitchen!" Yu Dahai said.

"That works! I can also see if Yingzi is willing to help. If she is, she can assist Aunt Wang. If not, let her go to my house, and with Little Zhi, audit the classes by the school or play, whatever works."

Cheng Ying, who was initially invited by Mu Shuangshuang to work, could logically follow Wang Guilan in making dessert.

But since her mother is working here, Mu Shuangshuang doesn’t want to force her.

As for Cheng Le, Mu Shuangshuang wants to ask his opinion on whether he wants to study.

If he does, she might as well let him study together with Yuanbao and the others.

When he’s older, let him decide what path he wants to take!

"Then it’s settled! The rest are small issues, I can handle them." Yu Dahai said.

Yu Dahai’s words essentially eased the burden on Mu Shuangshuang.

However, she can’t avoid such a major event as the opening.

"Then I’ll oversee the overall situation outside, if there are any issues, I’ll call you to resolve them?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Yes! That’s good!"

With the restaurant matters fully discussed, now it’s just a matter of execution.

In these two days, Wei Dacong tried dishes in the kitchen, and Mu Shuangshuang took the time to teach Wang Guilan how to make taro milk tea.

This taro is simple, all flour-made items.

Wang Guilan learned quickly.

...

On the eighteenth day of the first month, the restaurant opened.

Mu Shuangshuang invited dragon dancers and lion dancers, early in the morning, the front of the restaurant became lively.

Mu Shuangshuang personally handed out wedding candies, with many people coming and going to enjoy the bustle.

After breakfast time had passed half an hour, people began to arrive to give their congratulations.

This time, quite a few people came.

Many were managers from other town restaurants, considered competitors, while they came to congratulate and also learn some things.

Everyone knows that Mu Shuangshuang had bought Chengfeng Restaurant, but nobody knows the details of the renovation and menu.

The craftsmen who renovated Chengfeng Restaurant kept tight lips, refusing to reveal any information.

So, they had to come and see for themselves.

Mu Shuangshuang’s parents and the old neighbors from the village were still behind, saying they’d arrive closer to midday.

Mu Shuangshuang greeted guests while watching her parents’ figures, wondering if they might appear in the restaurant vicinity!
