"There's no rush, we have to renovate the shop first and train the cooks." Gu Xiaoyou replied.

"Leave the job of training cooks to me," Zhou said positively.

"Then please leave it to Sister Zhou. I will ask Manager Zhang to recruit some cooks tomorrow." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile. Zhou's words just relieved her worries.

Gu Xiaoyou is still worried about this matter and doesn't know how to allocate time.

She was still hesitating whether to train the cooks in the morning and inspect the market in the afternoon.

With Zhou's help, she can spend time studying the market in the capital.

"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you well." Zhou said solemnly, with a bright light in his eyes.

She was finally able to solve Gu Xiaoyou's problems.

"How can this slave help?" Zhixia also wanted to help her young lady.

"You are responsible for taking good care of the paper art workshop. When I am not around, you will be the little boss of the paper art workshop." Gu Xiaoyou said.

"This slave will definitely live up to the trust of the young lady." Zhixia said solemnly.

While they were talking, the carriage arrived at the mansion. The three people got out of the car and discussed opening a store all the way back to the mansion in a lively manner.

The next day, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the air was refreshing and cool.

Gu Xiaoyou rubbed the goosebumps on her arms that were blown by the cold wind, and complained: "It's getting colder and colder in the morning."

"Today is the autumnal equinox, and winter will begin in more than forty days. Isn't it cold?" Mrs. Zhou said, putting a thick cloak on Gu Xiaoyou's shoulders.

While tying Gu Xiaoyou's clothes, she said, "You must wear your cloak when you go out on the street to avoid catching typhoid fever."

"I know." Gu Xiaoyou replied with a smile.

The two of them walked towards the shop while talking. Zhou asked with concern: "When will the cook come?"

"Manager Zhang said he would bring him over in the afternoon, and I will ask him to come to the shop to find you then." Gu Xiaoyou replied.

"Okay, then I'll wait." Zhou said and separated from Gu Xiaoyou at the street corner.

Gu Xiaoyou walked to the store opposite the express station, took the key and unlocked the door. When the store door was pushed open, a thin stream of ash rushed towards him.

"Ahem, I'm choking to death." Fortunately, she has the habit of carrying a mask with her.

Gu Xiaoyou covered her mouth and nose, took out the mask from her sleeve pocket, turned around and put it on, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because a female worker had posted a door note on the door, there was no dust on the door panel, which saved Gu Xiaoyou the trouble of washing his hands.

Taking out the drawings from his sleeve pocket, Gu Xiaoyou walked up and down the store a few times and found that except for the kitchen in the backyard that needed to be remodeled, and the counters and kitchen that needed to be remodeled, there was no need for any major changes.

"We still need to add tables, chairs and benches, we need to add screens and decorations on the second floor, and we need to prepare a few lamps." Gu Xiaoyou muttered and wrote down everything that needed to be added on the paper.

While she was scribbling on paper, there was a noise at the door.

Gu Xiaoyou looked up and saw a tough-looking middle-aged man knocking on the door and politely asked: "Is this Miss Gu?"

"It's me, are you..." Gu Xiaoyou asked.

"The younger one was sent by Mr. Mu." The middle-aged man cupped his hand.

"Ah, you are engaged in decoration, right?" Gu Xiaoyou said happily. He didn't expect the people sent by Mu Wuchen to arrive so quickly.

"The younger one doesn't know how to decorate. The younger one is a carpenter and specializes in repairing houses." The middle-aged man replied with a little doubt.

"One idea, one idea." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and said, "Come here, I will show you the drawings."

"Yes." The middle-aged man responded, walked quickly to Gu Xiaoyou, and stood three arms' length away from Gu Xiaoyou.

He bowed politely and said warmly: "Miss Gu, could you please show me the drawings?"

"You're standing too far away." Gu Xiaoyou blinked, took a few steps closer, and handed the drawing in his hand to the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man took it with both hands, took a step back, and distanced himself from Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou was speechless. He was indeed the person sent by Mu Wuchen. He really followed etiquette and knew the rules.

She stopped approaching and asked, holding her hands behind her back: "Can you understand it? I didn't draw it very clearly in some places."

"Yes, Miss, you are being humble. Your drawings are the most detailed I have ever seen." The middle-aged man said with a smile. This was not a compliment, but it was the first time I had seen such detailed drawings.

In the past, the only way to repair a house was to measure the dimensions and draw a rough sketch.

Miss Gu's drawing shows the layout of the room in detail, and even has illustrations of materials and specific styles.

However, some places were not marked. The middle-aged man asked carefully, and Gu Xiaoyou answered them one by one.

After studying the entire drawing, the middle-aged man said: "I understand Miss Gu's request, and we can start construction today."

"Okay, how many days will it take to complete it?"

"If nothing goes wrong, about fifteen days." The middle-aged man thought for a while and replied.

"Fifteen days is enough, let's start construction." It was enough for her to investigate the market and train chefs.

"Yes, I'll prepare all the materials first, and I'll bring someone over in the afternoon." The middle-aged man responded, put away the drawings, bowed to Gu Xiaoyou, and left.

"You're so neat in what you say and do." Gu Xiaoyou praised, looked at the store a few times, and continued to write down the things he wanted to purchase on the paper.

The morning time flew by, and the middle-aged man got to work on time, leading the workers to move the wood to the backyard, and started to renovate it from the backyard.

There was a sound of knocking in the backyard. Gu Xiaoyou looked at it a few times and handed a dozen masks to the middle-aged man: "It's very dusty, so you all put on your masks."

"Thank you, Miss Gu." The middle-aged man thanked him, put on the masks according to the steps instructed by Xiaoyou, and then distributed them to the workers one by one.

The workers put on masks and their noses felt much better instantly.

"Thank you, boss." The workers bowed their hands towards Gu Xiaoyou and politely thanked him.

"You're welcome, go ahead and do your best." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and left the backyard.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Manager Zhang walking over with seven or eight people.

"Miss Gu." Manager Zhang immediately stopped when he saw Gu Xiaoyou and bowed.

When the people following him saw this, they quickly saluted and imitated Manager Zhang's call: "Hello, Miss Gu."

"Hello, everyone, please get up." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and motioned for them to get up.

Manager Zhang straightened up, and only a few people behind him dared to stand up.

"Are these people the cooks you hired?" Gu Xiaoyou asked as he looked behind Manager Zhang. He saw eight people standing behind him, some men and some women. He glanced briefly, and some people had obvious signs on their hands.

There are some traces that only come from being a chef.

"Yes, these are all cooks," Manager Zhang replied.
