Chapter 51 - 50: Grand Opening of the New Shop
"Okay"
The storage room was five or six square meters, filled with a lot of useless cardboard boxes, empty bottles, old foam boxes, and a stool with a broken leg left by the landlord.
Lin Wan was not stingy at all and threw them all out. However, she managed to save two useful basins.
The next morning, Liang Hongmei continued with her morning market business, while Lin Wan went to the business district to buy a bucket of lime and the most popular tablecloths available offline. Lin Wan chose a style featuring dark flowers on beige plastic.
Originally, she also wanted to buy a couple of nice lamps, but after looking around she didn’t find any she liked. So Lin Wan bought two ordinary 80-watt light bulbs and some wires instead.
When Lin Wan brought the items to the store, Liang Hongmei had already transformed the kitchen completely.
The kitchen was relatively simple, with two large stoves against the wall, and to the right of the stove was a wide wooden workbench. Above the workbench was a very simple wooden rack where bowls and plates were placed, and below the bench was space for coal. Further to the right was the door to the storage room, and then a large washing sink,
On the left was a window, and meals were passed out through it.
They didn’t need such large stoves for their claypot cooking.
Lin Wan soaked the lime and then hurried to the city, visiting several streets and more than ten stores before finding the small earthen stoves she wanted. The shop owner once visited the South and saw people there loved to use small stoves to stew meat and vegetables during the New Year, which tasted particularly good. So after coming back, he made some to sell in his store. The outside of the little stove was coated black, very smooth, and the stove’s teeth resembled honeycomb briquettes. It was much like a claypot cooker.
