Volume 6: Summer Chapter 27 Storm
Liu Boyang opened his mouth and then closed it again. He heard Jiang You ask, "How long will it take for plan one? If it can't be finished before Children's Day, will we start work after the holiday?"
Liu Boyang calculated the date and replied, "It will definitely not be finished before Children's Day."
"Let's talk about it next month. Let's go eat first. I'm starving." Jiang You called Lin Yu, "Lin Yu, it's time to eat."
"Okay." Lin Yu caught the swing, waited for it to stop, then let go and got out.
At this time, Jiang You had already walked to the swing. He picked up Jiang Mo and said, "Let's go and eat."
Soon, they arrived at Chu Restaurant.
It was a weekday and there weren't many people in the store, so they chose a seat by the window.
After Jiang You ordered the dishes on his phone, he lay dejectedly on the table. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a pair of white, slender legs swaying by the window. He turned his head and saw two young girls, dressed very coolly, walking hand in hand on the street.
"Summer is here," he sat up a little and drank half a glass of water. "I think I started to lose weight in the winter and have been running, but it doesn't seem to have any effect . A few days ago, a brand launched a co-branded model with Pixar. When I went to buy it, it was too late and all the large sizes were sold out. This fully proves that those who like Pixar are fat people."
Lin Yu lowered his head and drank water.
Jiang Mo lowered his head to play games on his mobile phone.
Liu Boyang continued, "I heard there is a diet specifically for weight loss. If you follow the diet, you can lose 20 pounds in a month."
"Really?"
"Yes, it seems to be that kind, you can eat meat, but carbs are strictly prohibited."
"You can't eat it for a long time." Lin Yu added.
"Coach Lin, can you help me get one too? I want to lose 20 pounds first."
“You can find it by searching on the Internet,” said Lin Yu.
"Let me look for it," Jiang You took out his phone and searched for a few recipes, but none of them seemed to suit his appetite. "No Chinese food? My stomach isn't very good. I only drink a cup of black coffee in the morning, and I don't feel happy at all."
A dish of stir-fried bacon with cabbage sprouts was served.
Jiang You picked up a cauliflower and swallowed it. He sighed and said, "Forget it. I'd better just run honestly. After all, I'm the founder of the Qiyu Weight Loss Method."
"Well, Brother Jiang, do you plan to display in the store or outdoors?" Liu Boyang asked.
"It's all right, what do you think?"
"It depends on what the subject is..."
"Theme," Jiang You clicked on the photo album on his phone and scrolled down a bit before handing the phone to Liu Boyang. "There are a few paintings I didn't take pictures of. Now they're all framed. These are it, about twelve or thirteen."
"Let me see." Liu Boyang took the phone and flipped through the pictures.
"It's a nice painting, isn't it?"
"It's quite special. You can see the brushstrokes," Liu Boyang thought after looking through the paintings in the album. "For Children's Day, I think it should be bright and cheerful, with pure and bright colors."
"I think so too. Let me tell you what I planned," Jiang You ate two more bites of food, then put down his chopsticks and started talking. "I bought a lot of balloons. If I can't use them all up to decorate the yard, there will definitely be a lot of parents bringing their children to play on the street that day. I'll stand at the door, and when a child comes over, I'll give him a balloon and tell him there's an art exhibition inside, and they'll come in."
"Will he come in?" Liu Boyang asked.
"You took my balloon, why don't you come in?" Jiang You was very confident.
Jiang Mo glanced at Jiang You and he nodded.
"Is it to attract people to come in and watch?" Lin Yu grasped the key point.
"Why else would we hold an art exhibition?" Jiang You picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into Jiang Mo's mouth.
"Rearrange the store, put the art exhibition in the store, and rent some toys for children in the yard, such as trampolines, bubble balls, etc." Lin Yu thought divergently, "There are also children's sand paintings, plasticine kneading, Lego building, etc. I see there are a lot of them in the park."
Jiang You nodded, "I understand what you mean. The yard is turned into a small playground, and the store is used for exhibitions, right?"
"Yes, you can make a ticket, print the painting on it, and then engrave a stamp. If you collect a certain number of stamps on the ticket, you can exchange it for a balloon or other small gifts."
"The venue is a bit small." Jiang You said after thinking about it.
"If you count the greenhouse and the terrace above it, it's enough."
"I'll print postcards with the pictures on them. There are seven in a set, six of which are fixed and the seventh is random. That's it. Oh, by the way, I'll bring Old You and Sister Nan with me. We'll buy tickets to come in and have fun. We can get discounts on meals and books, and then buy their designated snacks or books. Old You will make some pig buns, yellow duck buns, etc. They will definitely sell well. The bookstore is a little far away, but we can set up a bookstall in the yard."
"Do we need to find a host to introduce the paintings and the exhibition?" Liu Boyang asked.
"Host? I'll ask Yang Xuan if she's free. If this is a commercial event, then we can donate the proceeds from the day to a tree, and it will be a charity event."
A large bowl of braised fish head was brought up, along with four small bowls of rice.
The waiter used a large spoon to scoop the fish head soup and poured it into the rice. After stirring evenly, the rice grains were plump and shiny.
Jiang You ate half a bowl of rice mixed with fish meat in one breath. Then he reached out and took the phone from Jiang Mo's hand, "Eat your meal well."
He stuck the spoon into the rice bowl and pushed it towards the minced ginger.
Then, he picked up a large piece of fish and covered it on top.
Jiang Mo stared at the rice for a while, then he grabbed the spoon and took a small bite of the rice.
"Print postcards, promotional posters, rent some equipment, decorate the venue, and set up the exhibition hall," Jiang You counted on his fingers, "time is a bit tight."
"I'll rent the equipment." Lin Yu said.
"I can be responsible for the posters and decorations." Liu Boyang also said.
"Then I'll be in charge of postcards. I think people will get hungry after playing, so I think we can open a snack bar and sell some grilled sausages. I happen to have a kitchen and the license has been obtained a long time ago. I can also sell soft drinks and cold drinks at a high price, five yuan for a bottle of Coke. I've wanted to do this for a long time." He reached out and pulled over the half-eaten bowl of minced ginger and started to eat. "I'll sort it out and get started once we have a set of rules."
After lunch, Liu Boyang went back.
Jiang You was walking on the street holding Jiang Mo and Lin Yu. He thought for a while whether to go to the bookstore for a nap or go back to the bug house for a nap.
"I heard everything you and Teacher Liu said in the yard just now." Lin Yu said.
"I know. I originally planned to wait for ten or twenty years. The bird will eventually come to me," Jiang You looked at the road ahead. "Some changes have occurred. You may have to postpone your entrepreneurial schedule and learn how to exorcise demons first."
“Is the situation serious?”
"It's hard to say. It's possible that nothing will happen for another 30 years, or it's possible that things will change in three months."
