Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Since the lease time of the last merchant who temporarily rented the store had expired two days ago, after signing a long-term lease contract with Hu Mao's family, the landlord efficiently hired the previous merchant.

When the three of Lin Cheng came to the shop, the whole shop had been emptied.

The three of them simply cleaned up the garbage in the store, borrowed a tape measure from a nearby hardware store, and measured the inside of the store.

Lin Momo took a small notebook and wrote down the measurement data carefully.

After finishing this, the three of them returned to their residence with the floor plan of the shop they had drawn.

Hearing that several people have already rented the shop, Yang Fang at home looked surprised.

"You settled the renting of the shop so quickly?"

She couldn't even find a house so quickly.

Yang Fang muttered silently in her heart.

"Yes, and the price is also very affordable. Other shops on that street, which are about the same size as the one we rented, cost more than 5,000 a month. Ours only costs 4,600 in the end." Hu Maoyi He said to his wife with a smile on his face.

He didn't expect that renting a shop would be so simple.

"Sure enough, I should study more." Hu Mao thought to himself.

After lunch, everyone started to get busy.

Together, Lin Momo and Yang Fang began to discuss the things, recipes, menus and names that could be made after the store opened.

Lin Cheng, Hu Mao, and Huang Yang, who happened to be back from work, discussed the design of the entire store with the store floor plan.

The entire store measures a little over 16 square meters. Except for a diagonal triangle area of ​​about one square meter on one side of the store, the entire store is a regular rectangle with a length of 5 meters and a width of about 3 meters.

"This store is relatively well planned. According to the normal distribution, the back is used as a kitchen and processing room, and the front is a dining area. There can be a cash register here..." Huang Yang said, pointing to the floor plan.

"It's just the oblique triangle area that is a bit troublesome." Huang Yang stared at the irregular area and thought about it for a long time, and finally he could only say helplessly: "This area is too small. If you build a cabinet against the wall, it can be used." In fact, there is such a small piece of waste work and waste, which is of little use in the end.”

"Why don't you just keep it?" Hu Mao suggested.

Hearing this, Huang Yang frowned slightly, and said again: "It's fine to keep it, but when the time comes to decorate, it will waste a lot of money."

"There is another saying?"

"Of course, look at this piece. If you don't care about it and bring it directly into the dining area, it's useless. Let's just say, the bevel of the ceiling above you can be negotiated for the material cost, but the labor cost has to be calculated according to the length multiplied by the width." Let me calculate it for you, floor tiles are the same, one more process of bevel cutting will cost more money, and whether it is wall painting, wall brick laying, skirting boards, or anti-corrosion protection walls, it will cost more Labor costs and material costs. Nothing will be done, and most of this area is in the dining area, so it doesn’t look good.”

Huang Yang's words put Hu Mao in a difficult situation, and Huang Yang himself frowned, and didn't think of a better solution for the time being.

Finally, the two looked at Lin Cheng who hadn't spoken yet.

"Brother Cheng, do you have any suggestions?" Huang Yang asked.

Lin Cheng thought for a while, and said, "It's better to make a cabinet against the wall, but there's no need to make a cabinet door."

"How to say?" Huang Yang asked.

Lin Cheng pointed to the floor plan and explained: "In this place, the back kitchen operation area and the dining area are divided. The part divided into the operation room is relatively deep, and the door can be closed as a locker for the back kitchen. The part of the dining area can be directly done. It can be used as an open display rack for displaying some special products or ready-to-eat products.”

Hearing Lin Cheng's suggestion, both Huang Yang and Hu Mao's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea. If you don't need the cabinet door, you can save part of the cost of processing materials, and the usable space of the cabinet will also increase a lot, and it can also play a decorative and publicity effect." Huang Yang said.

Hu Mao also nodded at the side: "Then it's settled."

"What about other areas?" Hu Mao asked again.

Both Hu Mao and Huang Yang looked at Lin Cheng at the same time.

When it comes to decoration, Hu Mao is an out-and-out layman. Although Huang Yang knew some fellows who were engaged in decoration before, and learned some superficial information from them, when it comes to the overall plan, neither of them is good at it.

Lin Cheng stared at the floor plan and thought for a moment before he said, "Other areas remain the same as Xiao Huang's division before, but some details can be added."

Lin Cheng took a pencil and made a simple plan on the floor plan. While drawing, he opened his mouth and explained to the two: "The processing area can be made according to the concept of 'transparent kitchen'. The function of support and storage, the rest is directly partitioned by high-temperature-resistant glass, which saves space and is clean and moisture-proof, including semi-automatic soybean grinding and tofu processing, which can be openly displayed in this part, and then add another one in this place The dry and wet areas are separated, the innermost area has windows, and is the closest to the water inlet pipe, which can be used as a preliminary processing room, this part is the pool, this part is the operating table, and the stove is installed here..."

"The dining area outside needs to improve the utilization rate of the overall space. The door should be kept open as much as possible, so that guests can see it at a glance, so as not to give guests a feeling of hesitation to enter."

"The on-site sales of processed products and ready-to-eat foods and the cash register are arranged on the left side of the store, so that the display effect can be preserved, and the outside side can be convenient for passers-by to buy..."

Huang Yang listened carefully to Lin Cheng's words and nodded.

"This arrangement is totally fine, then the remaining area can be used as a dine-in area, which is quiet enough and bright enough, and will not affect the movement of other people in the store."

"However..." Huang Yang thought for a while, and then raised a new question: "After this division, this area is actually not very big. Will it be crowded if the tables and chairs are placed?"

"It is not necessary to put movable tables and chairs. You can install a circle of platform against the wall as a table, and the chairs can be replaced with a single wooden stool." Lin Cheng said.

"That's a good idea!" Huang Yang said, thinking of something, he pointed to the floor plan excitedly and added: "It happens that this place is away from water and fire sources, dry and ventilated, if there is a circle of seats around here, there can be a circle of storage on the top cabinet."

"Yes." Lin Cheng affirmed.

The three of them discussed and quickly determined the design and layout of the entire store.

The rest is a matter of budget.

When the question of money was mentioned, Hu Mao and Yang Fang and his wife next to him showed worried expressions on their faces.

"We only have such a little money, it's probably not enough to make the store look like this." Hu Mao said with a frown.

Yang Fang also said at the side: "If it really doesn't work, I'll go to my hometown to get some money."

At this moment, Lin Cheng said in a positive tone: "No, the existing money is enough."

"Enough?" Hu Mao looked at Lin Cheng in disbelief.

"You can figure it out." After Lin Cheng finished speaking, he handed the floor plan to Huang Yang beside him, and asked him, "Can you estimate how many materials are needed?"

"I can only try to approximate one."

Huang Yang immersed himself in writing and drawing on the paper.

After a while, Huang Yang gave a rough figure: "For such a big shop, one side of sand must be enough, seven or eight bags of cement, three pieces of 4-meter water inlet pipes in the processing room, and five elbows are enough. , the sales table, and the wall panels are all made of carbonized wood panels according to what you said..."

"This area was replaced with anti-corrosion wood, and the surface cement grade was increased in this part, and the floor tiles were replaced with 45 bluestone slabs, leaving an interval of 8 cm in the middle." Lin Cheng said.

"Half a square meter of sand is enough. You can collect it from nearby houses that have not been used after renovation. 6 packs of cement should be about the same, and the wood is just..."

Huang Yang said, and according to what Lin Cheng said, he calculated the area and materials that had been increased or decreased.

After receiving the final data from Huang Yang, Lin Cheng wrote down the unit price of each material beside it.

Seeing this, Huang Yang and Hu Mao on the side were a little surprised: "Do you know the price?"

"Before I went to the building materials market to buy materials and sell bean dregs cakes, I learned about the prices of common materials by the way." Lin Cheng explained.

Lin Cheng said this lightly, but the audience who heard this were not calm:

[By the way? ! 】

[A good one by the way...]

【I didn't expect to be able to 'by the way'. 】

[I suspect Momo's father is in Versailles. 】

【Haha, Lin Cheng probably wanted to strengthen and decorate the dilapidated house they lived in, and after learning about this, it might really be by the way. 】

[I still have a good brain. 】

…

In the room, Lin Cheng quickly calculated the approximate cost of the decoration materials.

Surprisingly, after careful calculation, the estimated total price of decoration materials is only less than 7000.

"I heard from my fellow villager that the labor cost for the decoration of this kind of shop is about 30% to 50% of the material cost. If you want to save money, you can try to do some rough work yourself." Huang Yang suggested.

This proposal was immediately approved by Lin Cheng and Hu Mao.

"I don't know how to do high-end technical work, but I can still move things, nail things, and paint walls. I have a fellow who works as a mason. It should be no problem to ask him to come and guide me at night." Hu Mao said: " In addition, the old master Yang who lives in the back also worked as a rough carpenter before, if the requirements for the nailing of the wood are not strict, please ask him to help, and the wages should be much cheaper."

Huang Yang on the side also said: "I have done wiring and welding in the repair shop before, and the principles are similar. If you don't mind, you can buy materials for wiring and ceiling in the store. I borrow tools and I will do it."

The three quickly divided up the work: Lin Cheng was in charge of purchasing materials and controlling costs, Hu Mao was in charge of finding carpenters and masons, and Huang Yang was in charge of connecting water and electricity and installing some facilities and equipment.

—

The few people didn't waste time, so they split up and got busy that afternoon.

In order to keep the renovation cost to a minimum, Lin Cheng traveled almost all over the city, and even went to the trouble of tricking the boss who sells anti-corrosion wood into giving them a firewood door sign.

[Lin Cheng's personality in my mind is collapsing little by little. 】

[Haha, really, Lin Cheng's way of bargaining is really not a 'boss' or a star at all. 】

[Lin Cheng's stingy look is more and more like his stingy daughter. 】

[To put it the other way around, it's possible that this is Lin Cheng's real form, and Momo is the inherited him, but Lin Cheng has concealed it well before. 】

…

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo couldn't see the complaints in the live broadcast room. At this time, the father and daughter had gone further and further on the road of saving money.

It took Lin Cheng and Lin Momo half a day to finally buy all the materials they needed. After a lot of hard work, the materials that were originally planned to be around 7,000 were only spent 5,400 in the end.

In the evening, after the masters who had been invited to help had a meal, they devoted themselves to the decoration of the shop.

Several people began to get busy almost around the clock.

Considering that there are residential areas and schools nearby, in order not to cause noise pollution, the main work everyone does during the day is some handling, installation and laying work, and the work that requires cutting and knocking is arranged for commuting to and from school, which will not disturb the residents. In the evening, everyone will do some noise-free masonry and painting work.

After two consecutive days of hard work, the entire store finally took shape.

Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to the second-hand market in the east of the city.

At this time, Huang Yang was recommended by a fellow villager.

Here, stainless steel stoves and sinks, second-hand electrical appliances, and tooling furniture are all available, but the price only needs to be 20% to 40% of the new ones.

—

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo walked around the whole market, and finally came to an inconspicuous second-hand large electrical shop.

Seeing a customer coming to the door, the owner of the store bypassed the mountain of second-hand goods and walked out.

"What do you want to see?" the boss asked.

"I opened a small restaurant to see what I can use." Lin Cheng explained his purpose.

The boss immediately took the conversation and said, "Then we have a lot in the store."

After all, the boss introduced to Lin Cheng: "Here, there are freezers, disinfection cabinets, refrigerators, and air conditioners used in general small restaurants, and there are many horses. Over there, there are stainless steel stoves and sinks used in restaurant kitchens. There are also chopping boards, and in addition, we also have small electrical appliances you want in our store, such as air curtains at the door, ultraviolet lamps, induction cookers, and water dispensers.

"Look at the large electrical appliances first." Lin Cheng said, and told the boss the approximate size needed.

"Yes, come here with me to have a look." The boss led Lin Cheng and Lin Momo into the shop, pointed to some of the electrical appliances and recommended them to Lin Cheng: "Take a look at this freezer, 90% The new product was returned, and the person who used it before took good care of it. Look at the paint, from top to bottom, there is no rust at all, and the sealing strip is basically new. How about it? 680 for you."

Lin Cheng didn't speak. Although the boss praised the freezer in front of him, Lin Cheng checked the whole freezer carefully.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Cheng stood up and asked.

Hearing this, the boss was stunned: "Why, this is so new, you are still not satisfied? It would not be so good if there are others."

"Just buy this, you can't go wrong."

The boss was still strongly recommending it, but Lin Cheng directly pointed out the problem with the freezer.

"The paint surface in these places was re-sprayed later. You should replace the sealant strip with a new one later. It is impossible for the used one to be so new. You can even see processing debris. The parting line is obvious. It should be It was pirated by a small factory, and the rust spots on the bottom have also been polished..."

The refurbishment level of the second-hand store owner is simply superb. If you don't look carefully, you can't see anything wrong at all, but Lin Cheng still sees some clues in it.

Hearing Lin Cheng accurately pointed out several renovations, the expression on the boss's face changed a little.

At this time, Lin Cheng pointed to the cover at the back corner of the freezer and said: "This cover has also been refurbished and pressed, and judging from the wear and tear of several screws, it should have been disassembled more than once."

In the place where fluoride is added at this time, during the normal service life of the freezer, there is usually no need to add fluoride, unless there is damage, fluorine leakage or long service life, which will only happen after repeated maintenance.

For these, before coming here, Lin Cheng borrowed Hu Mao's mobile phone to do his homework online.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Cheng's words, the boss not only changed his expression, but even the way he looked at Lin Cheng changed.

"Haha, you have a lot of research on home appliances."

"It's been a few years since this appliance was brought back, but most of the things have been replaced with new ones. In fact, I didn't lie to you when I said 90% new. Some customers just want to pick this one." The boss gave a guilty laugh twice, and called Said with sloppy eyes.

"Let me show you the other ones." The boss said, recommending several other freezers to Lin Cheng.

This time, after learning from the previous lesson, the boss didn't dare to fool Lin Cheng anymore, but actually made an introduction.
