Chapter 264: Ancient Refrigerator

Mu Wuchen snorted coldly and held Gu Xiaoyou's wrist directly, with a posture of "If you don't get up, I will pull you up."

Gu Xiaoyou couldn't break away from Mu Wuchen's big hand, and said helplessly: "I'll just get up, you don't need to pull me."

Hearing this, Mu Wuchen let go of Gu Xiaoyou's wrist and stared at her without saying a word.

Gu Xiaoyou was forced by Mu Wuchen's eyes and stood up reluctantly.

"Okay, I'm up."

Mu Wuchen's expression softened a bit and he said calmly: "Let's go."

With that said, Mu Wuchen stepped forward with his long legs.

"Where are you going?" Gu Xiaoyou asked hurriedly.

"Whatever." Mu Wuchen stopped walking and said expressionlessly.

"..." It would be too casual to let her get up without thinking about where to go.

Gu Xiaoyou sighed: "I'll take you to see the shop. You've only seen a few workshops, but you haven't seen any other shops, okay?"

"Yeah." Mu Wuchen responded lightly.

"Then let's take a look at this room first." Gu Xiaoyou stepped forward and tugged on Mu Wuchen's sleeve: "I'll show you around the upstairs first."

Mu Wuchen pulled back his sleeves and said, "Speak well, how can you be so tactless?"

Gu Xiaoyou rolled his eyes secretly, why didn't he mention any propriety when he grabbed her wrist just now.

Double standards!

Gu Xiaoyou wrinkled his nose and snorted slightly: "Let's go upstairs."

As he said that, he waved his arms and strode towards the stairs.

Mu Wuchen shook his head helplessly, took a few long steps and walked to Gu Xiaoyou's side.

The two people went upstairs, and Gu Xiaoyou introduced: "The rooms upstairs have been demolished, and the layout of the lobby is similar, except that a few screens have been added."

Mu Wuchen looked around and asked, "Why?"

Although Mu Wuchen asked briefly, Gu Xiaoyou understood it quite well.

"Because this restaurant pursues fast food, and eating is fast and lively. There is no use keeping a room, so why not add more tables and chairs."

When Gu Xiaoyou explained her design concept, Mu Wuchen nodded thoughtfully, not sure whether he agreed or disagreed.

"There's only so much to see upstairs, let's go downstairs." Gu Xiaoyou didn't care what he thought, simply walked around and walked downstairs.

As soon as he reached the stairs, Mu Wuchen asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Why is this cabinet so weird?"

"Oh, this cabinet is used to store ingredients."

"Put the ingredients?" Mu Wuchen became even more puzzled after hearing this. As far as he knew, the ingredients were all placed in the kitchen.

"Yes, all the dishes in the spicy hot pot are washed and put in this porcelain basin for the guests to choose." Gu Xiaoyou explained.

Mu Wuchen understood the purpose of the porcelain basin and continued to ask: "Iron basin and cotton cloth?"

"The iron basin is used to hold ice. As for the cotton cloth, it is filled with cotton, which is equivalent to a mini quilt. It is used to slow down the melting of ice." Gu Xiaoyou said matter-of-factly.

"Ice? Mini quilt?" Mu Wuchen added a little more confusion.

"Yes, this is the most practical storage method I can think of." Gu Xiaoyou said with a grimace.

She felt a little more helpless when she mentioned this matter.

If it were not so troublesome in modern times, a large refrigerator would completely solve the problem of food storage.

Thinking about the refrigerated cabinets in those self-service spicy hotpot restaurants, Gu Xiaoyou suddenly felt envious.

That's something she can't buy even if she has money now.

Without a refrigerator, Gu Xiaoyou had to find another way.

She first searched on ancient methods of storing ingredients.

Baidu told her that in ancient times, ingredients were mostly stored in cellars, and rich people would put ice in the cellars.

Although there is a cellar in the backyard of the shop, she cannot dig a tunnel inside the shop and invite customers to go into the tunnel to choose vegetables.

After thinking hard for a few days, Gu Xiaoyou had an idea. She didn't have a refrigerator, but she did have ice.

So she thought of a stupid way, just use ice to serve the dishes.

She deliberately experimented at home for a day before discovering the method of using an iron basin to hold ice and placing a porcelain basin on top.

But just using an iron basin to hold ice will cause the ice cubes to melt a bit quickly.

Gu Xiaoyou did some Baidu research and found out that if there is no refrigerator, using cotton cloth to preserve ice is the best way.

No wonder the ice cream or iced drinks would be covered with a quilt in the freezers of ice drink stalls that I saw on the street.

She was foolishly worried that the ice cream covered with quilts would melt quickly. Now it seems that the stall owner is doing it to save electricity.

There are ways to store ice, but it is impossible to use cotton cloth to store ice directly. It is better to combine an iron basin with a quilt.

So Gu Xiaoyou asked Mrs. Zhou to make a mini quilt that could fit over the iron basin.

I put the ice in a quilt and an iron basin for a whole day, and found that the ice had just melted a little.

Gu Xiaoyou knew that it was done, so she asked Manager Zhang to find someone to bake a batch of square porcelain basins for her. He also asked the blacksmith from Lu's Iron Shop to make iron basins based on the porcelain basins, and asked Mrs. Zhou to take your female worker.

We worked overtime to make a mini quilt with an iron basin.

It took thirteen tricks to create an ancient version of a refrigerator in a restaurant.

Gu Xiaoyou told Mu Wuchen about her mental journey and her experience of making a storage cabinet.

Finally, he said bitterly: "Don't look weird, but it is the crystallization of the sweat of all of us."

"Thank you for your hard work." Mu Wuchen said sincerely.

I didn't expect that a combination of such common things could have such a unique effect.

Mu Wuchen observed the "refrigerated cabinet" carefully again, and no longer disliked its weirdness. Instead, he felt that it was unique and a good cabinet.

After solving his doubts about the strange cabinet, Mu Wuchen asked Gu Xiaoyou about the function of the scale next to the counter.

"Weighing scales are of course used for weighing vegetables." Gu Xiaoyou answered with raised eyebrows, looking at Mu Wuchen with an expression that said, "I still have to ask such a simple question."

"Of course I know it's used for weighing vegetables. I'm asking you what the weighing scale is for in the store?" Mu Wuchen explained helplessly.

This was the first time Gu Xiaoyou heard Mu Wuchen say such a long sentence, and he chuckled: "Hey, please ask more clearly. You asked it so simply, so of course I will answer it simply."

"Didn't I just say that the ingredients in the store are self-selected? After the customers choose the ingredients, they bring them here to be weighed. I haven't thought about the price yet, but vegetarian dishes have the price of vegetarian dishes, and meat dishes have the price of meat dishes. They are measured separately."

After Gu Xiaoyou explained, Mu Wuchen understood. It turned out that this was what the so-called self-selection meant, and it was quite new.

She then told Mu Wuchen about the other decorations in the restaurant. After introducing the last thing, Gu Xiaoyou looked around and saw that there was nothing left behind, so he said, "Okay, there is nothing interesting in this shop. Let's
