Chapter 377 Planning to Set Up a Cafeteria

Seeing how she runs up and down countless times every day, Lin Yuyao felt that she should hire a full-time handyman.

"Xiaotong, hang in there a little longer, and I'll hire another handyman."

"Huh? Did I do a bad job?"

Lin Yuyao shook her head and said, "No, I plan to hire a housekeeper who can cook for us, and do things like grocery shopping and cleaning. You will be in charge of receiving and sending manuscripts, as well as registering royalties. The finances will be handled by you."

She pointed to the corner opposite and said, "I'll turn that spot into a mailroom just for you, and you can work there. What do you think?"

Ye Xiaotong felt that this meant she was going to be promoted.

"Okay, it's up to you."

After discussing it with her, Lin Yuyao went to find Song Qin, "Sister Song, do you think my arrangement is okay?"

"That's great, but from what you're saying, you want to build a cafeteria?"

Lin Yuyao nodded and said, "Yes, it's not cost-effective to buy food from restaurants when there are too many people. We need to have our own canteen."

"Where can we get it?"

“There’s a parking and unloading area in the backyard on the first floor, but actually the trucks don’t unload there at all; they unload outside. We can set up a small canteen in that parking shed. The backyard also belongs to Sister Leyi; I’ll talk to her about it.”

I'll also take care of the meals for her bookstore staff; I believe she'll agree.

After a while, Lin Yuyao called Fu Leyi and told her her idea. Fu Leyi agreed readily.

"Okay, you do it."

"It needs to be renovated; we need to build a stove."

"Okay, you can decide this yourself. From now on, the three of them will eat their meals at your place?"

"Yes."

Fu Leyi laughed and said, "Sure, actually I've wanted to do this for a while, but I thought three people were too few, and I'd have to hire someone else to cook, which was too expensive, so I never did it. From now on, the three of them will eat with you, and I'll give you their food expenses."

"No, no, you provide the venue, and I provide the ingredients and the cooks. How can I possibly accept this money?"

Fu Leyi smiled and said, "Okay then, it's settled then."

At that time, the urban management system was not perfect, and the situation of illegal construction in the city was very serious. As long as it was not too excessive, there would generally be no problem.

The backyard was large and empty; she was just converting the garage into a kitchen, not building it onto the main road, so it was perfectly fine.

While Song Qin was hiring a cook, Lin Yuyao had already found a renovation team to build the stove.

The garage was converted into a kitchen in just a few days, and Song Qin also found a suitable housekeeper.

Zhou Jing and the others were very happy to hear that they could eat in the cafeteria for free from now on.

However, she has a child who comes to eat with her every day, and she asked Lin Yuyao how much living expenses she should pay for the multiple children.

Once Lan Tingting starts elementary school, she won't come home for lunch anymore. How long can she eat like that? And you're still talking about money.

Lin Yuyao generously said, "Sister Zhou, no need for money."

"How can this be? I'm the only one taking care of the child and eating."

“Tingting is just a little kid and can’t eat much. It’s too much of a formality for you to give her this money.”

"This is really... sigh, Yuyao, thank you."

"You're welcome, it's just a small matter."

That being said, on the day the cafeteria opened, Zhou Qin still bought a box of oranges to share with everyone.

It was early morning at the orange market; the oranges were fresh, but still a bit sour.

Lin Yuyao was surprised to realize that another year was almost over.

The autumn wind was blowing and it was a bit chilly, so she wrapped her trench coat tighter around herself.

"Yuyao, your trench coat looks great."

"They said it's a new model this year. I bought it when I was shopping last time."

"It's beautiful, where did you buy it?"

"That newly opened shopping mall in the city center."

"I'll go shopping tomorrow since it's a holiday."

After having dinner at 5:30, Chen Bingzhi called out to Song Qin, "Sister Song, let's go together."

"Sure, I'll ride in your car for free."

"No problem, let's go shopping together tomorrow."

"Hmm? You're shopping?"

"Yes, it's getting cold, and I have nothing to wear. You were talking to Yuyao about buying clothes, and I thought I should buy some too. You have great fashion sense, could you help me choose?"

"Since you think so highly of my taste, it means you have good taste. Okay, let's meet at the mall entrance at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

"You don't have to work tomorrow, 8:30 is too early, don't you want to sleep in?"

Song Qin: “…”

"Nine o'clock, no exceptions."

"Okay, nine o'clock."

Lin Yuyao asked Ye Xiaotong, who was organizing documents, "Do you want to buy some clothes?"

Ye Xiaotong looked down at herself and said, "My clothes are fine."

She wore summer clothes underneath, and then layered on a thin early autumn layer. When the autumn wind blew, her lips turned purple from the cold.

“I see your clothes are too thin. It gets cold very quickly here. A gust of wind and a heavy rain, and winter will probably be here. Also, winters here are very cold, much colder than back home. The snow is so thick.” She gestured.

"Is it cold?"

"Yes, the coldest times are below zero."

"Then let's buy it. I won't go to the mall."

When Lin Yuyao first arrived, she figured out where the prices were cheap. She smiled and said, "I know where I can buy cheap clothes."

"Take bus number 2 towards the city and go for four stops. There's a big market nearby after you get off. You can buy clothes, bedding, and everything else there for cheap. Go there if you need anything."

"Really?"

Lin Yuyao nodded.

"Okay, I'll go shopping tomorrow. Yuyao, are you coming?"

Is she going?

It seems like she doesn't have much to buy.

She doesn't buy clothes, but she can buy other things.

After thinking about it, I decided to buy two jars and make pickles.

"Sure, let's go together. Then don't take the bus. Wait for me at the bus stop at 8:30 tomorrow, and I'll pick you up."

"Row."

Ye Xiaotong was worried that Lin Yuyao's car would be parked on the side of the road and she wouldn't be able to wait for someone, so she deliberately arrived near the bus stop more than ten minutes early.

Fang Qing, who was sweeping the floor, saw her and felt a pang of jealousy.

She had asked Lu Jiangting who that girl was last time.

Lu Jiangting said that she was her maternal cousin.

So now she not only lives a good life herself, but she can also help her brothers and sisters live a good life.

It's infuriating that Lin Yuyao's life is getting better and better.

"Fang Qing, do you know that girl?"

Fang Qing looked away. "I don't know him."

do not know?

Why do you keep looking at other people?

"Judging from their appearance, they seem to be from our hometown. They're probably fellow villagers who came here to work."

"Your fellow townsman? Why don't you go over and say hello?"

"No need, we don't know each other."

The other party didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, is your mother-in-law's eye better now?"

"It can't be that fast. Eye surgery is no joke. You can't see yet."
