Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Restaurant Opening (1)_1

It was still dark when they hitched a ride to the city with the third branch of the Ruanlin Family; Ruan Jianguo’s trike couldn’t accommodate that many people.

Before dawn, Ruan Jianguo had already brought the livestock that were to be used to the city; he went to Xiaohei market slaughterhouse and hired someone to butcher the animals.

The chef Ruan Jianguo hired was a master who had previously worked with him at the factory. After the master left his job last year due to some family matters, his position was quickly filled by others eager to take over, as it was a coveted one.

He hadn’t found suitable work and had been idly recuperating at home ever since.

Last time, Ruan Jianguo had invited him to help with a meal at home, and also invited him to work here. They had a good relationship, and Jianguo offered a generous salary. Without a second thought, he agreed to come and even brought along his newly apprenticed disciple.

The master was an open-hearted person and didn’t ask for the high salary offered by Jianguo. Instead, he suggested a market-rate pay, laughing that if the business did well, Jianguo could raise his salary later on.

Ruan Jianguo just smiled and didn’t argue.

But the master was an old hand and, although surprised at the large amount of meat Jianguo had brought in one go, he didn’t ask any questions. He simply suggested that Jianguo would do well to buy a refrigerator, as it was summer, and in such hot weather, meat easily spoils.

Ruan Jianguo had thought about this a long time ago and had asked Lu Zhiwei to help find a connection to buy one. Still, there was no news yet. However, Zhao Li had bought a fridge, initially to please Ruan Jiaojiao. It was scarcely used and just consumed electricity.

Seeing Jianguo’s urgency, she sold it to him, depreciating it a little.

Ruan Jianguo wasn’t ungrateful, fully aware that fridges were a rare commodity that couldn’t be bought even with money. He paid the original price for it and also bought a set of extracurricular exercise books for both Lu Xian and Lu Zishu.

The two brothers, who were not fond of studying, turned green when they received the exercise books. To this, Ruan Jiaojiao laughed for a good while.

It seemed that no matter the era, students resolutely detested these exercise books.

Ruan Jianguo had preparations to make for the opening day, so he left before dawn. Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t get up that early and was arranged to go with Zhao Li. Upon hearing the news, Zhao Li was excited.

She woke up her two sons early, told them to take the car to the city with Lu Zhiwei, and then rode her motorcycle to pick up Ruan Jiaojiao before the sun came up.

Not wanting Ruan Jiaojiao exposed to the sun, she had even specially arranged to add a canopy to the motorcycle at the repair shop the evening before, fearing that Little Jiaojiao would get sunburnt on her vehicle.

When she drove over, Ruan Jiaojiao was surprised to see her operating the bike. At that moment, the Ruanlin Family matriarch said with a helpless expression, "You’re spoiling her too much. She’s not that delicate. That canopy must have cost a good amount."

Only then did Ruan Jiaojiao notice the canopy added to the motorcycle.

She was incredibly touched and, when Zhao Li got off the bike, immediately pounced on her, giving her two big kisses, which made Zhao Li’s heart sweeter than honey. She gleefully claimed, "It didn’t cost much; how much could it possibly be? It’s all for our Little Jiaojiao’s comfort. Look at this delicate little face. You wouldn’t feel bad if it got sunburnt, but I couldn’t bear it."

The Ruanlin Family matriarch also smiled, her impression of Zhao Li immensely positive now.

After confirming that Zhao Li had eaten breakfast, she picked up the already packed bags and got into the car. She held Ruan Jiaojiao in the passenger cabin, while Xiu Xi sat behind Zhao Li.
