Chapter 86 Preparation
Lu Changhua signed a store lease contract with Beining No. 1 Goods Store, and all the matters that should be noted were clearly written.

Secretary Wang also promised to assist him in applying for a business license in a few days.

Director Huang made an appointment with Lu Changhua to give the store a month to transport the goods from the warehouse, and then Lu Changhua would come in to decorate.

Lao Lu has been confused until now.

He originally thought about going to the city with his wife and opening a small restaurant, as long as he could make money.

Who would have thought that my son would cause such an earth-shattering incident.

He was very guilty.

can this work? !
This time when he went to the city, Lao Lu brought ten stacks of banknotes, but they were gone in an instant. He grinned in distress.

The money is spent faster than water.

In his impression, opening a small restaurant only costs three to two thousand yuan.

Who knows, the rent has gone up to [-].

"Son, this money is too much to spend, so we'd better be tight-lipped."

"Dad, we still have to spend the money we should spend. If we are reluctant to part with these ten thousand, we won't have the next hundred thousand. Just wait and you will make it back soon."

Seeing that his son was confident, Lao Lu thought, what if he failed? !I felt even weaker.

"Dad, now such a large area belongs to our family, what should we do?"

"Oh, I'm a little confused all of a sudden."

Lao Lu really didn't expect it.

The more than 1000 square meters of space and more than 20 large and small warehouses are under my own control.

There was no way to start for a while.

"Dad, let's put the rest aside and talk about the hotel first."

The two men stood on Liudao Street, looking at the three shops facing the street.

"This is what I think about this hotel. Dad, please see if it works."

"What do you think."

"These three rooms have been opened up and transformed into a front hall with eight square tables for four, and two private rooms and a kitchen will be built at the back of the house. What do you think?"

Lu Changhua brought his father in through the gate again, pointed to the ground behind the shop and said, "Dad, this is where the kitchen and private rooms are."

Lao Lu nodded.

"We will start with a smaller scale at first, and if the market accepts our fish house, we will expand it."

"Dig a sewer here and connect it directly to the sewer on the street. The water and electricity will be taken from the department store."

He pointed to the spacious empty space and said: "This is the parking lot, but we won't use it that much now, so let's take our time."

"Dad, those eighteen warehouses will be useful in the future. Let's take one out and use it as a hotel warehouse."

Lu Changhua pointed to the warehouses on the east and north sides and said.

"Well, this will cost a lot of money!"

Lao Lu kept muttering in his heart. He spent so much money to rent such a big place and only used it so little. He felt extremely uncomfortable. He felt that his family had suffered a big loss!

Lu Changhua saw his father's unhappy expression and knew that he was confused.

"Dad, our family will not suffer a loss. We will slowly expand in the future. This is our development space and we can use it in the future."

"Alas! Anyway, you have the final say over your money!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changhua smiled, "Dad, you have to believe in your own craftsmanship and your son's vision!"

He teased his father for a while, and Lao Lu reluctantly accepted.

"Oh, your mother will get sick from fear when you go back!"

The two men are going to go out and look for construction workers to learn about the market conditions.

The old man in the guard room saw the Lu family and his father coming and going from time to time, so he took the initiative to chat and inquire about the news.

I was surprised to learn that they had rented a shop.

"You want to open a restaurant here?"

When the old man heard this, he frowned.

"Oh, then the cost of your renovation is not small!"

Lu Changhua quickly handed over the cigarette and said with a smile: "It's not small!"

Lu Changhua struck a match for the old man and lit the cigarette.

Lao Lu was told what was on his mind by the old guard, so he took out the cigarettes in his pocket, popped one out, held the cigarette case to his mouth, and held it in his mouth.

Lu Changhua quickly struck another match and lit a cigarette for his father.

The two old men puffed at each other.

"You want to renovate and decorate? My son can do this job!"

The old man blew out a smoke ring and said.

"That's a coincidence!"

Lu Changhua asked about the situation.

The two parties exchanged names.

The old man's surname is Xing. His son is a worker of Beining Construction Company.

"Old Xing, how come the construction company has nothing to do? It should be very busy!"

Lao Lu felt that Lao Xing, the gatekeeper, was not telling the truth.

"Hey, isn't their company engaged in some kind of contracting? My son took the lead in contracting a construction team, but there was no work, so I had to worry about him every day."

When Lu Changhua heard this, he thought this was right.

It is normal to have a period of vacancy after contracting. The development climax of the construction industry is about to come.

"Lao Lu, leave this job to him."

"It's okay to give it to him. How is the technique?"

"No problem. He has already started work. They are a whole construction team. Normal small projects are no problem at all."

"Okay, let him come to us."

Lao Lu made a decision and made an appointment to meet in the guard room after dinner.

"Son, we can't go back today. Let's stay here. The construction and renovation must be implemented in advance, and it will take time to prepare materials."

"Okay, Dad, I'll listen to you."

The two men found a hotel diagonally opposite the goods yard on Liudao Street.

This hotel is not small.

A wooden horizontal sign hangs on the door, with the four big characters "Red Flag Hotel" square and square.

A couplet was somewhat damaged by the wind, but it could still be seen clearly.

The first line "Business is booming all over the world" and the second line "Business is booming reaching Sanjiang"

Hengmao "The God of Wealth is coming".

Hey, this couple's writing is a bit awesome.

Whoever sees this kind of criticism would not want to be a god of wealth!

The calligraphy is also good.

The two men stood at the door and stared for a long time before walking in.

I inquired at the front desk of the hotel and found that the Emotional Hotel was also contracted.

Lu Changhua thought about it, who would have written such a couplet if it had been state-run?
Now you can see that you have entered the market.

The two of us opened a double room. They are a fourth-level hotel and charge 3.5 yuan per person per bed.

The room was nice.

Clean and hygienic.There are two beds with white sheets.

It's just that there is no bathroom and TV in the room.

There are eight rooms in this row, and at the end of the corridor are the toilets and washrooms.

Lao Lu was very satisfied with the room, but he still grinned at the price.

He has never stayed in such an expensive hotel.

The best hotel he stayed in was a room for five people, priced at 1.5 yuan per bed.

After looking at the room and finding the toilet, the two men filled the water, washed their hands and came out.

"Dad, our family is here to open a restaurant. From today on, whenever we are in the city, we have to go to other restaurants to explore the situation. This is due to work needs, and we have to spend the money we should spend."

"I know that."

After tidying up some things, the two left the hotel and walked along Liudao Street.

I found a restaurant that looked decent and walked in.

Since I was visiting the store, I ordered a few special dishes.

The two men began to research.

Examine all aspects of color, flavor, and appearance.

It took over an hour to eat this meal.

Lao Lu also drank some wine.

After walking out of the hotel, Lao Lu sighed: "Tsk, just average." He stopped talking about this topic.

Lu Changhua also knew that the restaurant they just ate at was just a small restaurant. It looked okay on the outside, but in fact, the chef was just a big pot cook, not a serious chef.

The two men walked back and passed by the hotel without going in. Instead, they went to the goods yard.

In the guard room, Lao Xingtou's son was already waiting.

The son of the Xing family, who is in his early thirties, has a square face and looks very honest, but his nose is a bit big.

When Old Xingtou saw the Lu family and his son coming, he quickly introduced them.

"Lao Lu, this is my son, Xing Wenbin."

Xing Wenbin held Lao Lu's hand and grinned.

"Boss Lu, thank you for giving us this opportunity!"

"Oh, what kind of boss am I? Don't say that!"

Lao Lu was so frightened when Xing Wenbin called him.

Northeast is not in the mood to call someone the boss right now, and I don't know where Xing Wenbin learned it from.

"Captain Xing, can I tell you what we think?"

Lu Changhua said with a smile.

"well."

Xing Wenbin quickly took out his cigarette and handed it to Lao Lu first. Lao Lu was not polite.

When giving it to Lu Changhua, he waved his hand and said, "I can't."

Then he handed one to his father.

Lao Xing shook his head and took out his cigarette.

After he got Lao Lu angry, Lu Changhua began to introduce the situation.

I also took him to check them one by one.

Lu Changhua explained his thoughts carefully.

This Xing Wenbin not only listened carefully, but also nodded his head, and took out a pen and paper to record it, with a very serious attitude.

Lu Changhua knew at first sight that he was a practical person.

Xing Wenbin not only recorded but also drew sketches.

"Boss Lu, according to your idea, I will go back and draw the drawings and make a budget. I'm afraid I have to wait a few days."

"Okay, after you finish it, go to Room 106 of the Red Flag Hotel across the street, where we will stay."

It was completely dark at this time.

The northwest wind was blowing so hard that I couldn't even stand on the street.

Fortunately, the hotel was not far away, so the two stumbled back to the hotel.

As soon as he entered, the white air puffing out of his mouth instantly became lighter.

When the two men returned to the room, the hotel's earthen boiler was already heating the room.

There was no more anger in the room.

The radiator was still warm to the touch, but the room wasn't much warmer either.

Lu Changhua took the thermos bottle to the bathroom to turn on the water, and brought it back to warm his father's feet.

After Dad put it on, he went to work on his own.

After pouring the foot-washing water, the two of them got into bed.

Lying in bed, Lao Lu felt that this day was unreal at all.

He thought for a moment and said, "We have to go to the market tomorrow to see the prices of raw materials and so on."

"Okay. We mainly focus on making fish and won't do anything else for the time being."

"Well, I have a clue."

Early the next morning, the two of them had breakfast and went to a nearby market.

The vegetable market is right behind the Hongqi Hotel, more than 100 meters away.

Lao Lu is very satisfied with this distance.

Purchasing will be much more convenient in the future.

As soon as you enter the market.

It was bustling inside.

Many stalls sell warm dishes.

That is, vegetables stored in warm cellars.

Many vegetables are picked in autumn, and after certain processing, they are stored in underground warm cellars and then put out for sale around the Spring Festival.

These warm dishes are expensive, and there are many people watching the excitement, but few people actually buy them, so they can’t afford them!
Lao Lu also came up to ask about the price and check the freshness.

There is still a big gap between this kind of warm vegetables and the off-season vegetables that became popular in greenhouses later.

The freshness and taste are not good.

The two men looked at the dry goods stall again.

Those who sell these will have a fixed appearance.

Lao Lu also asked if there was any chili.

There are very few people who eat chili peppers in the Northeast. There is only one store in the entire market that sells a small amount of chili peppers. It is not what Lao Lu wants, and it is not spicy at all.

It seems that there are more markets to go to.

For three days in a row, the two of them visited several markets, asking about chili peppers, but they were not satisfied with any of them.

I went to a few decent restaurants at noon and evening, but they all turned out to be home-cooked dishes, with nothing special about them, and the dishes were just average.

Lu Changhua took Lao Lu to Hongbin Building on Badao Street.

Only then did Lao Lu feel a little better.

"Dad, did you see that? Our hotel needs to be better than here from now on."
