Chapter 382: Poor Man
The man is 1.8 meters, neither tall nor short, thin and straight, with a steady and powerful step, without a trace of sound when walking.
Facing the voice of the woman at the counter, he slowly lifted the hood that covered half of his face on his head, revealing a calm face under the hat.
He nodded, and sat straight at the counter.
Seeing this, Ge Yahan showed his face, with a faint smile, and said, "I haven't been here for a while." ”
"Hmm. ”
The man's face was expressionless, his lips were not opened, only a muffled snort came out of his throat, and he stopped making a sound and sat quietly at the counter.
It's not strange that she has long been familiar with the way she gets along with him, and then she is slightly teasing: "I'm going to put away these utensils and the stools in front of the counter, it's the first time I've seen someone go to a coffee shop to ask for a drink, this is not a bar." ”
Saying that, the hand holding the bartending utensils has already moved.
"What do you want to drink today?"
"It's the same as usual. ”
Hearing this, Ge Yahan casually took out a bottle of whiskey from the locker under the counter, and then mixed some juice and mint, and after a while, he made a cocktail.
This scene was seen by the customers who came in and out of the store, and they felt a little weird, and for a moment they even wondered if they had entered the wrong store, or the first time they had seen a coffee shop bartending.
For those surprised guests, she smiled back and forth.
In fact, the store used to be the same as a traditional coffee shop, not to mention bartending, and there was not even ordinary beer. Until one afternoon last year, a man entered the store, and involuntarily sat down at the counter, stepping on a high-angle stool used for cleaning, and ordered a glass of wine in some strange way.
At that time, she naturally said no, but the man was a little stubborn, and he was stubborn that he could drink anything. Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, Ge Yahan actually asked the clerk to go to a nearby supermarket to buy beer and red wine respectively.
The man was not picky, he sat at the counter alone, eating one cup at a time, during which Ge Yahan kept looking at him, but he didn't communicate, he just felt that the man in front of him was ...... between his eyebrows Faintly unique.
However, it was such a strange person, who thought that it was in the past since then, and never thought that two days later, he would come to the door again, and he would still be in that position, saying the same thing.
So, over time, in order to deal with this man who came to the coffee shop to ask for wine, Ge Yahante worked hard, learned the techniques of bartending, and also bought various bartending utensils, which led to today's scene.
Picking up the wine glass, the entrance is cold, and then the hot and sweet mouth, the taste buds are stimulated and enjoyed at the same time.
Half a cup down, the man's face was always calm, as if he was not drinking spirits, but plain boiled water.
With a slight pause, his glass rested on the counter, his eyes as deep as a pool of stagnant water, scanning the store.
"Zitong didn't come today, and yesterday he was still muttering to me that uncle was not there. ”
Seeing his movements, Ge Yahan knew his intentions and said out loud at the right time.
Retracting his gaze, he nodded again, in response, and then picked up the wine glass, brought it to his lips, and drank it.
Seeing that the wine in his cup was almost drunk, Ge Yahan skillfully moved again. It's just that what surprised her a little during this period was that after the figure was silent for a while, it suddenly sounded a voice.
"How's the little one, has he grown taller?"
Hearing this, the movements in her hand froze, stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"It's only been a week or two, so how much can change.
But the little guy likes you very much, and every time he comes, he pulls me to a place where no one is around, and quietly asks me if my uncle is there. ”
When he said this, Ge Yahan's eyes looked at the man in front of him. When the little girl was mentioned, the man's originally innocent face suddenly melted like ice and snow, and the indifference receded, and a warm look surged up, and the corners of her mouth did not rise slightly.
Through her words, the man couldn't help but think of the little girl's lovely face and the way she spoke, and unconsciously his face couldn't help but ease, but then it returned to the same as before, and the indifference was still the same.
Seeing that he was silent, Ge Yahan poured the freshly mixed wine glass into a new cup, gently brought it to him, and lightly opened his red lips: "Have you been busy lately?"
"Sort of. ”
The man did not answer immediately, as if he had thought for a while before giving such a somewhat perfunctory answer.
"Next time, give this to her, she said she wants. ”
As far as the eye can see, you can see a beautiful music box, and inside the crystal there is a delicate person, who will dance when the music starts.
"Not for the little one personally, it might come tomorrow. ”
Taking the music box, she asked softly.
However, the man just shook his head.
"Okay, I'll put it away for you first. ”
As he spoke, Ge Yahan turned around and entered the lounge of the store, opened a cabinet, and saw that there were plush toys full of them, and the entire cabinet was almost full.
Shaking her head inexplicably, she put the music box aside, then closed the cabinet and walked back to the counter.
However, when she returned, the man who had been sitting on the barstool, how could there be half a figure?
She smiled knowingly, then sighed lightly, and looked at the street outside the transparent window, where people came and went, but they had disappeared into the crowd.
"Sister Yahan, do you know that strange man, why do you always come to us to drink, and who is he?"
At this time, there were not many people in the store, and the two female employees in their early twenties looked at the previous communication between the man and his boss, and couldn't help but ask as soon as they left.
Ge Yahan glanced at the two of them, but did not answer, just took a rag to clean up the table that was stained with some stains when mixing just now.
After a while, seeing that the boss was silent, both of them were a little embarrassed and regretted, probably asking a lot of questions, and people didn't want to mention it.
"He's a poor man!"
For a long time, her eyes were distracted, with a hint of bitterness on her face, and she spoke slowly.
As soon as he left the store, a touch of the slanting sun shone on the man's knife-like face, dyeing it with a layer of brilliance.
Somewhat dazzling, he saw the clear blue sky and the warm sun in the light. The breeze was gentle, the cool wind was blowing through his cheeks and ears, and he was relaxed, and it seemed that it was a good day.
The black cap was once again on his head, covering not only his face, but also the beauty under the sky, and then he slowly disappeared into the streets......
