After resting at home for a few days, the Nangong couple began to work on their previous plan: today was the opening day of their small restaurant.
As they had planned before, they wanted to reintegrate into today's society: find a job to support their family, and live a stable life without attracting attention. This was the happiest life in their minds.
The two had already found a storefront at the end of the street and had made most of the preparations to open a small restaurant. But because of many things that happened later, they were delayed when they followed Hao Ren around. Now that everything was settled at home, the couple started to get busy. Nangong Wuyue and Nangong Sanba naturally followed them to help with the opening. The others were idle at home, so they went to help.
The storefront was not big. Located at the end of the street, it was originally a converted bungalow. Before the renovation, the structure of the house included a single room for the store owner to rest and a relatively spacious place for counters and shelves. Later, the original owner of the house added a simple room made of colored steel to the front of the house, which greatly expanded the space. The Nangong couple liked the store because of its structure: the original counter could be used as a kitchen, and the colored steel room could be reserved for diners, which was perfect for opening a small restaurant.
Nangong Wudi came to the store early and sighed. "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to realize this wish … A hundred years ago, when Ayesha and I first lived in seclusion, we thought that when the world was peaceful, we could find a peaceful place to open a small shop and sell some groceries or porridge. I didn't expect that we would be taken to another world for a hundred years … Now that we are back, this wish has come true."
Nangong Sanba looked at his father in surprise. "Dad, you had this dream back then?"
"I had two dreams. The first was to become the world's number one master, to eliminate evil and uphold world peace. The second dream was to open a small restaurant," Nangong Wudi said seriously. "After I met your mother, I was left with the second goal."
Hao Ren listened on the side. He thought to himself that not only did the uncle have a unique name, but he also had a unique personality when he made the vow. Could there be any connection between these two wishes?
Lily exclaimed at the side, "Uncle, you're speaking like a modern man now. You don't call yourself a despicable person anymore?"
Speaking of which, Lily was not much younger than Nangong Wudi, but the husky was a clever guy who always came up with ideas. Besides, the seniority in Hao Ren's family could drive people crazy, so no one cared about her.
Nangong Wudi smiled. "Sometimes I can't help but speak with my old habits, but it's still quite fast to change. But then again, this world has really changed a lot … I don't have a problem talking to people about daily things, but I really don't understand when it comes to some obscure words. I'm ashamed to say that I can't even understand your novels. Even if I can recognize the simplified characters, I can't recognize the modern words you use … What's the 'gay' in your book — "
Before Nangong Wudi could finish his sentence, Lily's howl interrupted him. The husky maiden jumped more than a meter high as if someone had stepped on her tail. But no matter how loud her howl was, it did not stop Uncle Wudi from speaking. Everyone suddenly looked at Lily strangely. Hao Ren subconsciously kept a distance of more than two meters from the husky. "Lily … How did your book get wider and wider …"
"Don't make trouble!" Lily was so anxious that her eyes were round. "It's a plot requirement! I'm writing about this topic! "
This time, even Nangong Sanba stepped back three meters. "The more I listen, the more dangerous it sounds."
Lily glared at Hao Ren and then at Nangong Sanba. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Believe it or not, you two will be the first and second male leads in my next book?!"
Hao Ren and Nangong Sanba immediately said that the husky was kind and broad-minded, and would not make things difficult for two straight men. Nangong Wudi, on the other hand, maintained a confused look and lowered his head to discuss with his wife. "Ayesha, you know …"
"Dad! Stop asking! " Nangong Wuyue yelled at the top of her lungs. She then turned and walked into the shop. "Come and help me pack up!"
A few days ago, Hao Ren had helped the Nangong couple to hire a renovation master to slightly modify the interior of the shop. He had also installed essential items such as cooking stoves and freezers. He had also prepared the materials needed for the first day of opening. Today, they came over to set up the tables and get ready for the grand opening. Originally, the Nangong couple only wanted to sell breakfast, but after seeing the situation of the shop, they decided to open a proper restaurant. So, the opening time was set at noon. Seeing that it was getting late, the couple hurriedly got to work. Lily jumped up and down in the middle of the house and began to give orders. "Hurry up! Hurry up! Mr. Landlord and Sanba, clean up the table! Battie, help Auntie prepare the side dishes! Wuyue, clean the windows! Big guy … Big guy, you can't stay here. Go out and greet the guests. I told the neighbors yesterday, everyone said they would come to support us … Oh yes, firecrackers, firecrackers, I want to set off firecrackers! "
As Lily chased Hao Ren to work, he blinked at Vivian, who was passing by, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "This girl is going crazy again."
Vivian pursed her lips. "A dog that likes to set off firecrackers … What's wrong with her evolution?"
A large group of people were noisily preparing for the first day of business, but in fact, there was not much to do. The preparation work that needed to be done had started a few days ago, and was basically completed by yesterday. Today, this group of people did not so much come to help, it was better to say that they had nothing to do and came to have fun. Just by looking at Lily's excited face, the husky had no concept of doing business at all. When the tables and chairs were properly arranged, and the various cold dishes were put into the freezer, Lily immediately ran into the back room and came out with a big box of firecrackers. She was as happy as a child, and when she carried the firecrackers, her face was almost blooming with light. "Mr. Landlord, come and set off firecrackers with me!"
Hao Ren glanced at the kitchen, where Ayesha and Vivian were busy tidying up things. After all, it was their first time doing this, and the first time using the new kitchen. Both of them were not familiar with it, and they had forgotten where to put the ingredients and seasonings that they had prepared last night. Fortunately, Wuyue could not stand it anymore. After she went in to help, things got better: Snake Maiden was not good at anything else, but her memory was better than the two in the kitchen.
"Probably not a problem …" Hao Ren muttered, and then he was dragged out by an excited Lily.
Nangong Wudi looked at the still empty street. "You're nervous at the last minute … Is there no one coming?"
Nangong Sanba smiled and comforted his father. "Don't worry, although there are few people in the Southern Suburbs, they are very friendly. Lily has informed all the neighbors she knows yesterday. Today is the opening of our restaurant, and everyone will come to support us no matter what."
While he was talking, there was a sudden crackling sound on the street in front of the restaurant, mixed with the joyful cries of a girl: Lily had lit the firecrackers for the opening of the restaurant.
Nangong Wudi and Nangong Sanba looked at each other and quickly walked out of the restaurant.
The lively and loud firecrackers crackled, and the smoke of gunpowder rose in the street. In the middle of the firecrackers, there were kicks jumping into the sky and exploding. Lily held a lighter and jumped happily next to Hao Ren, cheering loudly in a pleasant voice. "Open!!!"
Hao Ren smiled and looked at the girl who was happier than the owner of the restaurant. "I think there's no need to set off firecrackers when you're here. You're more lively than firecrackers."
Y 'lisabet looked at the scene with her head in her hands. It was the first time she had seen such a custom on Earth. The little girl was shocked. "Wow! I didn't expect you people to be the tough folk! "
Hao Ren looked at the little demon, puzzled. "Is this related to the tough folk?"
"Igniting a lot of explosives —" Y 'lisabet pointed to the smoke on the ground. "Demons don't do this even when they celebrate the festival!"
Hao Ren suddenly felt speechless. After a long while, he could only pat the little demon on the head. "You'll be surprised when the New Year comes. According to your standards, the firepower we'll use during the New Year is enough for a local war."
Y 'lisabet: "?"
(I'm busy with the paperwork. It should be a few days. But if I can squeeze some time in the middle, there will be a double.) =)
