After two days of non-stop work, they finally finished sanding and painting all the tables and stools. They also had Carpenter He and his men build an awning against the eaves.
Once the tables and stools were set up, the family stood at the entrance of the shop. Looking at the brand-new furniture and snow-white walls, the whole place seemed bright and clean.
Wu Shufen and her daughter-in-law bought and arranged the new pots, bowls, and other kitchenware. Now, all they had to do was wait for the grand opening on the nineteenth.
In the afternoon, while Lin Lan was busy at the pastry shop, Xu Dong arrived with the business license for Lin Changyou's restaurant, as well as the one for the shoe store.
"Xiangyang's been gone for eight or nine days now, hasn't he?"
Lin Lan looked at the brand-new licenses and smiled gratefully. "Today makes exactly nine days. He bought a lot of stock this time, so he should be back in another two days."
