Chapter 15: The Coffee Shop on the Corner

The location of Tingshan District is good, and as its name suggests, the lush Tingshan Mountain is located in it. At the same time, there is the winding Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flowing through, backed by mountains and water, even in feng shui is a blessed land.

In addition, there is no pollution caused by industry, and Tingshan District, with its beautiful mountains and rivers, has become another urban area in Jiangcheng with tourism as its main industry in addition to Dongcheng District!

Of course, Dongcheng District is not as good as Tingshan District, because the entertainment industry in Dongcheng District is more developed. Under the bright lights, the scenery of Dongcheng District will always give people a sense of impetuousness.

Ten years ago, Jiangcheng built the first university town in the south around Jiangcheng University of Communication and Communication, a well-known media school in China.

The strong humanistic atmosphere blends with the beautiful natural scenery, which is just right for Yang Yi, a young guy who is bubbling up.

After renting a car, Yang Yi spent two days walking around Tingshan District, and finally fell in love with a shop that was about to be transferred near the back gate of Jiangcheng University of Media and Communication.

The shop is actually a bit remote and a bit desolate.

Because Jiangcheng Communication University is really prosperous in the area outside the main gate and the east gate.

Because the main gate is next to Jiangcheng Normal University, the popularity of the two schools is not difficult to understand. Near the east gate is the dormitory area of Jiangchuan, so the catering industry outside is relatively developed.

The back door is a bit far away from the dormitory, and there are not many students who are interested in visiting except for some students from art and media colleges who come to class.

Outside the back door is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

However, it is not the rippling Xijiang River, nor is it the trickling Tingxi. Faced with the calm flow of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the lack of willow banks and green grassland embankments, the interest of the students is always lacking - except for some male and female students who like to find a quiet place to date.

However, Yang Yi also likes its quiet and remote place.

Why do you want to be so prosperous? Yang Yi doesn't like to open a coffee shop that he can't even keep busy.

The best situation is a day of about a dozen guests, three or two regulars, elegantly and quietly drinking coffee, or chatting about literature and music.

......

"You are the owner of this shop?" Yang Yi asked with some surprise when he saw the person renting out the person on the second floor of the store.

In front of him is a silver-haired, but energetic old man, he is wearing a very traditional Chinese Tsing Yi robe, and his gestures always give people a sense of elegance and wisdom.

This made Yang Yi suddenly awe-inspired, and when he spoke, his tone was a lot respectful.

"Little friend, why do you ask this?" the old man smiled mildly and asked, "Do you think that I shouldn't be contaminated with this copper smell?"

Yang Yi's old face was a little unbearable, the other party's judgment was very accurate, he really thought so.

"Haha, this is actually a house donated to me by the school, and for so many years, my wife has used it to open a small bookstore. The old man looked a little gloomy when he talked about his wife, and he gently touched the handrail of the wooden staircase with rounded pulp, as if remembering something.

When it comes to the skill of applying other people's words, Yang Yike, who has received special training before, is a master. After a while, he coaxed the old man to tell the story in his heart.

This is a story about love.

The old man's name is Hu Songnan, he used to be a professor at the School of Classical Music of Jiangcheng Media University, and his wife used to be the editor of a publishing house in Beijing.

The two of them have been together for decades, and their lives are calm and happy.

Until eight years ago, when the old grandmother fell ill and died, only the old man Hu Songnan was left alone in this small building.

It's not that the children are unfilial, Hu Songnan's children have all gone to Hong Kong City to develop, and they have always wanted to take the old man over, but the old man is reluctant to come here, because every corner of this small building is full of his memories of his wife.

Now that the old man is also retired, coupled with the pleading of his grandchildren, he also has a plan to retire in the past.

"It's the last thing I can put down, though. Hu Songnan's eyes regained his wisdom, and he patted the handrail of the stairs gently, "I want to find someone who can take good care of it." ”

The old man didn't want someone to destroy this place and destroy this small building. If there is time in the future, the old man also hopes to be able to come back and have at least one thought.

However, this made Yang Yi feel a bit of a headache.

Obviously, it is not so easy to meet the old man's requirements. The old man didn't list a standard at all.

Okay or not, it's all up to his mouth!

To tell the truth, Yang Yi really hopes to meet a philistine, at least, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem!

However, Yang Yi still wants to fight for it, because this bluestone building is really literary and artistic in terms of appearance and surrounding environment, and he likes it very much.

Yang Yi was silent for a while, and said his thoughts truthfully: "I rent your house, the second floor is used for my own living, and then the first floor wants to be used to open a coffee shop, and those bookshelves of yours can be left behind......"

In Yang Yi's description, these bookshelves left by the old man will be rearranged by Yang Yi to build a coffee shop full of books.

The old man looked at Yang Yi with interest, and said with a slight smile: "Open a coffee shop here? This is not a good idea, you may lose money!"

Yang Yi said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if I lose money or not, it's just my dream all along, and it's better to be quiet, in my spare time, I can write books and listen to music." ”

He didn't think anything of it, and the old man showed a strange expression.

The style of painting is wrong!

Yang Yi is an eight-foot man, with coiled muscles, strong and brave, and under the influence of the soul mark of his predecessor, he still inadvertently carries the shadow of a soldier when he walks, sits and lies down!

And such a guy said that he likes to listen to music, likes to dance and write, and everyone feels awkward!

But the old man didn't question it, because Yang Yi's flat expression made him feel a little different.

"May I ask what is the name of your coffee shop?" asked the old man curiously.

Yang Yi's previous description actually made Hu Songnan a little moved, and he was the closest to his idea in the past few months.

Yang Yi already had his own ideas, and he said cleanly: "The coffee shop on the corner!"

The old man thought that he had misheard, so he asked Yang Yi to repeat it, and after confirming that "coffee shop on the corner" was indeed the name that Yang Yi remembered, he frowned and thought for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I can't think of any allusion to this name, can you tell me?"

Hell if you think about it!

"It's a song I wrote. Yang Yi said unashamedly, plagiarizing those songs in his previous life, he has no legal awareness, and he has no psychological burden.

"Oh, is it?" said the old man with great interest, "what is the name of the song you wrote?"

The old man is a musician, and although he is a retired professor of classical music, he is not uninterested in pop music, and when it comes to music, his interest comes up.

Yang Yi didn't answer directly, he looked at the wall next to him, a somewhat quaint guitar hanging on it, and asked, "Excuse me, can I borrow your guitar?" ”

(What is this song??Do you know if there are children's shoes?)
