Chapter 16 Opening

"Manager, is the chocolate cake ready?" Twenty-four-year-old Fujino suddenly opened the curtain of the kitchen door, and from the inside of the kitchen, the row of seats next to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the café behind her was already full, and the rest of the place that could be seen was already occupied by people nearby, in addition to Fujino, there were three waitresses in black and white uniforms who were busy delivering things.

"Hey, Wright, is the thing ready?" Zhao Mian is now very glad that he has wisely trained several current clerks for three days before opening, and even more fortunately, two of the four waiters have relevant work experience, and the most fortunate thing is that it is fortunate that this coffee shop is not very big, otherwise it is unimaginable what the situation would be outside today, "The guests have been waiting for a long time!"

"Manager, since the customers have been waiting for a long time, they don't care about waiting any longer - because all the drinks and snacks are served for free today!" In this slightly larger kitchen than the whole café, there are only two male employees in the entire café, Zhao Mian standing near the door, and Wright with a natural hedgehog head who is busy topping the cake with cream and strawberries in the depths, he raised his head and wiped his sweat with his sleeve, And even if they pushed hard, the embryos wouldn't be able to eat without baking them in the oven for ten minutes - but I had already made a batch of strawberry cakes, and the guests who were about to eat them could stop. ”

"Do you hear that? That's what our pastry chef said. Zhao Mian turned his head and said solemnly to the waitress in front of him.

This is a weekend time, after chatting with the surrounding neighbors, Zhao Mian chose such a time as the moment of the café's opening - because although he didn't expect this café to bring much monetary benefit to himself (even if it really generated income, it can't be taken away), but in line with the principle of doing it, then do the best he can, Zhao Mian still made a series of plans, and the first shot when opening was of course the first to bear the brunt.

On Saturday and Sunday, Zhao Mian made a plan to provide free drinks and snacks for two days with the mentality that he would take what he wanted first—of course, limited to one drink and one snack per person. For this plan, Zhao Mian also spent a night preparing a huge amount of snacks, but this was only in exchange for his four hours of rest. Crowds of people - this house has been very famous in this neighborhood since the past, although it is famous for being a haunted house, and in the spring of this year, a man from a country on the other side of the sea moved in with his sister, which naturally attracted a lot of people's attention, especially some young people and middle-aged women who like to hear these news, which has brought a lot of extra prestige to Zhao Mian, so the additional result is - a sea of people.

The eight rattan tables in the courtyard are the most popular because they have the best views there, and the elaborate garden scenery has a unique exotic atmosphere, accompanied by the petals of the cherry blossoms still drifting, and it is this romantic atmosphere that young people who are intoxicated with love need most - although there are many who are just subservient to it.

Compared to the courtyard, the interior of the café is not so beautiful, the garden is just outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, and on the other side of this huge glass, a small café with elegant and plain decorations quietly exists here. The decoration deliberately used well-soundproofed equipment to create a quiet occasion isolated from the hustle and bustle outside, which was originally a small suggestion of Sarantia's complacency, but the girls chatting about their fantasies made her suggestion meaningless.

The time was approaching the afternoon, but the flow of people outside did not decrease, and even increased a little relatively - those who had chosen to go shopping saw such a place on their way home, which made them join the group with a sense of surprise.

"Manager, can I take a break?" Taking advantage of the fact that a group of customers had just left, and the new batch of customers were still waiting for the other waiters to clean up the table, Aoi, the eldest among the clerks, rubbed into the kitchen with a pitiful face, and looked at Zhao Mian, who had been making cakes for a day, and put forward his request.

"I don't have a problem, but if you want to rest, you can discuss it with Fujino and the others, and the four of them will take turns to rest for a while. Zhao Mian raised his head and looked at the employee in front of him, under the flaxen hair was a conscientious face, and just as this face gave the impression that he was indeed a conscientious guy. Zhao Mian knew that this lady, who could be said to be someone else's predecessor in every sense, was not for this request she made to Zhao Mian, such a day was indeed very tired for these busy clerks outside, and they really needed to rest. Zhao Mian lowered his head and continued to decorate the cake in front of him, "In addition, let's talk to them by the way, we will finish the class early today, and then I will have a treat in the evening, you can eat whatever you want." ”

"Ah, thank you so much, boss. Miss Yamabuki bowed to Zhao Mian gratefully, and then left the kitchen with her skirt swaying like a butterfly.

"Wright, you should rest for a while, although baking a cake or something is not very tiring for the body, but doing a single job for such a long time can cause a lot of mental stress. Zhao Mian said without raising his head, his voice was not loud, but for this kitchen with only two people, it was enough to spread to all corners.

"It's the manager who should go to rest - I didn't go to work until ten o'clock, but you haven't slept all night, have you? When you came in the morning, you found that you had prepared so many cakes in advance-well, although the tiramisu cheesecakes were basically piled up, but it wasn't an easy task. With a slight sigh, Wright, who continued to work on the knife work, replied without looking back.

"Are you as strong as I am, weak fellow, go, go, go and rest—and then hurry up and finish your rest and come and pick up my shift. Zhao Mian said angrily, as if he was driving some animal close to him.

"Then I'll ......" After a moment of silence, he finished the task at hand, and lightly removed the gloves on his hands, Wright stretched and was about to speak, when the sound of "click" sounded not far behind him, and he turned his head to look—a figure pushed open the back door of the café and walked straight in.

"It looks like I'm busy, is there anything I can help with?" the silver-haired girl, dressed in a uniform for part-time students, stood at the door of the kitchen and asked Zhao Mian with some hesitation.
