Chapter Twenty-Nine: Customers Fill the House
Friday, July 26th.
Lin Xuan's restaurant is very lively today.
Usually the restaurant opens at half past five, but today it is only five o'clock, and the restaurant is full of people standing outside.
"Dude, you're here to listen to the song too. ”
"Yes, have you watched the video of the boss singing on the Internet?"
"Of course, I watched it, and it was because I liked the song "Alive" very much that I came to listen to the boss sing a new song. ”
"I came here on Monday, but unfortunately the boss didn't sing, but I ate a plate of mapo tofu, tsk, it's really delicious in the world. ”
"Hey, you've already been here, and I've seen the video earlier, but I've been busy and haven't come. Is the boss handsome?" asked a girl who heard the discussion.
"Handsome! It's the kind of man who is handsome, very manly, not the handsome of those little fresh meat on TV. ”
With so many people queuing up at the restaurant, it naturally attracted the attention of pedestrians who came and went on the bar street.
People are very curious, and after a brief inquiry, some people also gathered at the door of the restaurant because of the herd mentality, waiting for the opening of the restaurant to join in the fun.
At half past five, the restaurant finally opened.
All the customers poured into the restaurant, and in an instant, all the seats were occupied, and there were many people standing in the restaurant, and there was no place to stay.
Seeing so many people rushing in, Lin Xuan was also a little dumbfounded.
"Boss, I'm here to see you. ”
"You're so handsome. ”
"Boss, when are you going to sing? ”
"Boss, can you take a picture with me?"
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, you've stepped on my jio. ”
A group of people surrounded Lin Xuan and kept talking.
Lin Xuan hurriedly controlled the situation and said loudly: "Thank you friends for coming to cheer, I officially started singing at nine o'clock today, and now there are not so many places in the restaurant, and it is not the same thing for everyone to crowd here." ”
"If you are a friend who is coming to listen to a new song, you can come back at almost nine o'clock, of course, there is also Miss Han Ling singing for everyone now, and friends who want to listen to the song can find a place to listen to the song at will. ”
"As for taking pictures, I'm busy cooking now, so I don't have time, so I'll talk about it when I have time later, so please understand. ”
Hearing Lin Xuan say this, some people who came to listen to the new song walked out one after another, preparing to take a turn around the bar street and come back when it was almost nine o'clock.
There were also some people who ordered a glass of wine, held it in their hands, and stood listening to Han Ling sing.
Lin Xuan called Xiaomei and Xiaojing over and instructed:
"Thirty portions of mapo tofu are all sold, right, I will make the dishes ordered by these customers, and then I will not take orders, and just sell some side dishes and drinks that I have prepared in advance. ”
Lin Xuan knew that most of the customers who came today were here to listen to the songs, and they didn't plan to cook at all at first, just sell drinks and some side dishes prepared in advance.
When cooking, there are too many people in the store, and it is inconvenient to serve food back and forth, and he is alone, if the customers all order, he can't do it at all.
But.
Considering that some customers waited for a whole week to eat mapo tofu, they came to line up early.
Lin Xuan also decided to finish thirty portions of mapo tofu, and those customers naturally couldn't just order mapo tofu, and Lin Xuan also made other dishes by the way.
……
At half past eight in the evening, the people who had been hanging out in the bar street returned to the restaurant one after another, and the restaurant was crowded and noisy.
At this moment, Lin Xuan had already finished making thirty portions of mapo tofu, leaning on the counter, listening to Han Ling singing.
At this moment, two people walked up to him.
When he saw the appearance of one of them, Lin Xuan suddenly showed surprise, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said with a hint of question: "Brother Bi, is it you?"
He could see at a glance that this person should be the brother who helped him promote the video.
Brother Bi originally said during the live broadcast that he would come to listen to him sing a new song on Friday.
Lin Xuan leaned on the counter before, and he had also looked for him in the crowd, his video could be so popular, thanks to the other party's help, if Li Bi came, he would naturally have to thank him in person.
"It's me. ”
Li Bi held Lin Xuan's hand, with a little surprise on his face, and said:
"I can't see the age of the singer in the video, I thought that someone who could write that kind of lyrics, even if he was not as old as me, should at least have been in society for a few years, but I didn't expect you to be so young. Boss Lin, how old are you? ”
Lin Xuan smiled: "Brother Bi, you can just call me Lin Xuan, I'm twenty-two today." ”
Li Bi sighed and said, "I'm so young. ”
"It's not small. ”
Lin Xuan said casually and said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Bi, you helped me promote the video, otherwise the popularity of the video would definitely not be so high, and there would not be so many people here today." ”
"Originally, I wanted to express my gratitude through a private message on Weibo as soon as possible, but when I think that there are so many people who privately message you every day, even if I send it, you probably won't see it. I just heard that you were going to come, so I kept it to thank you in person. ”
"Hi, what is there to thank. ”
Li Bi waved his hand indifferently and said, "I sang your song and helped promote your video because your song was really good and moved me."
It's a shame that this kind of good song is not heard by more people. Even if I change to someone else, as long as it is a good song that I recognize, I will definitely take the initiative to promote it. ”
Lin Xuan has also had a certain understanding of Li Bi's personality through the Internet in the past two days.
The other party is a typical rock and roll youth, this kind of person Lin Xuan has not encountered many times in the capital in his previous life.
This kind of person is a little proud in his bones, sharp, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to you at all.
But for the people he approves, most of them are more sincere, and they can be called brothers and sisters after two meals, and this kind of rock and roll youth is most annoying to others to be polite and polite.
Therefore, when Li Bi said this, Lin Xuan did not continue to express his gratitude verbally, and said directly:
"Then I won't say more, Brother Bi, after I finish singing in a while, it's almost time for the guests to leave, let's have a good drink, don't get drunk and don't return." ”
Li Bi's eyes lit up, and he patted Lin Xuan's shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "Have a drink, no problem, this can be had, I just wanted to discuss music creation with you." ”
"That's right. ”
Li Bi affectionately hugged the shoulders of the middle-aged man beside him who had not spoken, and said:
"If you drink for a while, you have to add Brother Zhang, let me introduce you, Brother Zhang is the manager of the Green Day Bar Zhang Fei, who has been my good buddy for many years, when I was poor and had no food to eat, Brother Zhang didn't help me less. ”
Green Day Bar and White House Bar, or livehouse bar is more appropriate, it is a landmark cultural venue in the bar street and the whole of Beijing, which has been open since the 90s to the present, but it is a must-visit place for young people who love music in Beijing.
"Brother Zhang, I have admired my name for a long time. Lin Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to say hello.
"Hello. ”
Zhang Fei smiled: "I also watched your video, so I followed Xiao Li to listen to your singing." Your song "Alive" is so well written, you are so young, you are so talented, and I am also very curious about the song you sang today. I'm going to have to listen to it. ”
Lin Xuan chatted with the two of them for a few words, and before they knew it, it was already nine o'clock.
"Boss Lin, sing quickly, I've been waiting for a long time. ”
"I'm looking forward to it. ”
Everyone said.
Li Bi watched from the sidelines, and also coaxed and whistled loudly.
Lin Xuan nodded at everyone, and he found that many people had already taken out their mobile phones and were about to record videos.
Now, in order to make the song popular, so that record companies and music portals come to him, Lin Xuan doesn't mind the listeners recording videos.
It's just that because of the events of his previous life, Lin Xuan is still a little instinctively disgusted with the camera.
He just wants to grasp the initiative in the negotiation process, sell the songs, share the songs of his previous life with the people of this world, and make some money by the way.
However, he didn't want to enter the entertainment industry, nor did he want to be famous.
So, he unhurriedly took out the prepared mask, put on sunglasses, and walked to the stage.
"Boss Lin, why do you have to be fully armed when you sing?" someone asked suspiciously.
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I'm naturally a little uncomfortable when I see the camera, and I just want to sing, I don't want to be famous on the Internet, and I don't want too many people to know me." ”
Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned.
In this day and age, is there anyone who doesn't want to be famous?
Just looking at how hot the talent show is every year, you know how many people have sharpened their heads and want to enter the entertainment industry.
Fame and money are a fatal temptation for almost everyone.
"The boss has a lot of personality, different from ordinary people. Everyone said secretly in their hearts.
Zhang Fei was also a little surprised, turned his head to look at Li Bi, and said, "Lin Xuan is quite interesting, a bit similar to your personality, with the style of your rock youth." ”
Li Bi nodded silently, more interested in Lin Xuan.
"What do you think will happen to the song he brought today?" Zhang Fei said.
"It should be good. ”
"How does it compare to that song "Alive"?"
"Hey, it's not easy to write a song like "Alive", but even if it's not as good as "Alive", I believe it's above the standard work. ”
"It seems that we both think the same, and I don't think it is possible to have a boutique like "Alive", after all, he is too young, how much background can he have. ”
The two of them didn't say much, and their focused eyes fell on Lin Xuan, waiting to listen to the song.
The others also looked at Lin Xuan.
"Okay, let's listen to the song. Lin Xuan hugged the guitar and whispered into the microphone.
The audience fell silent.
