Chapter 57: The Boss
When Xia Qian looked at the man, the man was also looking up at Xia Qian, and the eyes of the two touched in the air, and suddenly Xia Qian saw a bright light in his eyes pass away.
"Boss, why did you come back? Beauty has been waiting for your coffee for a long time! At this time, the girl on the little couple's side happily waved the spoon in her hand to the boss and said.
"The beautiful woman is an art student who came here to sketch? What do you want to drink? The boss listened to the girl, smiled at her, and walked towards the back of the bar.
His voice was low with a hint of hoarseness, and the winter sun outside the window inexplicably gave birth to a trace of laziness.
"Whatever." Smiling slightly at the boss, Xia Qian looked out the window again.
"Boss, I heard that your coffee shop has been open for many years, and it can become a century-old brand, right?" At this time, the little couple drinking coffee over there asked the boss again.
"This was a teahouse in the past, opened by my maternal great-grandfather and great-grandmother." The boss used to make coffee was the older siphon coffee pot, and at this time he explained casually while brewing coffee for Xia Qian.
"Great-grandfather's generation, it's estimated that there must be ** ten years, right?" The boy of the little couple asked curiously.
"Well, ninety-one years." The boss replied, but when he said this, he glanced up at Xia Qian, who was looking up at her.
The second time he made eye contact with him, Xia Qian had some indescribable emotion in his heart, could it be that this shop was really the original small teahouse......?
"It is said that the name of your store also has some origins, what is the origin? Can you tell us about that? "Girls are curious, very curious.
"It's not a history, it's just a combination of my great-grandmother's name and my great-grandfather's name." There was a sound of running water, and the boss explained with a slight smile.
"Wow! It's so romantic......" the little couple sighed for a while.
The boss walked over to Xia Qian with a cup of fragrant coffee, "Please use it slowly."
Putting the coffee in front of Xia Qian, the boss looked at Xia Qian with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. Maybe it was because Xia Qian looked at him with doubts in his eyes, so he didn't leave immediately.
"They...... What happened to your great-grandparents and grandmothers? Xia Qian thought, it turns out that this is really that store, obviously in her opinion, it was only a few years, but now it seems that it has been a few decades, it is really ...... In the blink of an eye.
"They passed away in less than half a month, and they all died at the end of their lives." The boss didn't expect Xia Qian to ask this question, so he was silent for a while before replying to her.
"Thank you" was answered, Xia Qian didn't say anything more, but picked up the coffee and said to the boss, and then lowered his eyes and gently took a sip of the fragrant coffee.
However, what Xia Qian didn't expect was that the boss didn't leave after finishing speaking, but pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down.
"You also studied oil painting?" After Xia Qian put down the cup, the boss glanced at the set of painting tools at Xia Qian's feet, and asked with a slight smile.
Xia Qian looked at him and nodded, "We have to hand in an oil painting for the final exam, but I don't draw well." ”
I don't know why I answered like this, maybe it's because this boss Xia Qian doesn't hate it, and he is related to someone she knew in her previous life, so she has this strange sense of intimacy, anyway, that's what she said. Although in the previous life, she and that couple were only one-sided, but she just felt that it was indescribable.
"How long are you going to stay here?" The boss smiled, then asked.
"One week" Xia Qian replied.
"I love oil painting." The boss said.
For the boss's words, Xia Qian only smiled and didn't say anything.
"If you're willing, I can show you around town." The boss rarely invites guests, but after he saw Xia Qian and read from her eyes that she was a woman with many stories, he was inexplicably attracted to her.
Xia Qian smiled and shook his head at the boss's lazy invitation, and said after taking a sip of coffee: "I just want to bask in the sun today, I don't want to move." But if you can tomorrow, can you come to you tomorrow? ”
"I'm here every day," the boss smiled as he glanced at the sun outside, "painting, drinking coffee, and eating cake." ”
"It's really a pleasant day, it's enviable." Hearing him say this, Xia Qian also looked outside, which was really comforting......
The first day was spent in the car for half a day and in the sun for half a day, and when I went back to the hotel in the evening, Xia Qian and Yuan Qingyun were in a room, because they found a filming location for the afternoon, Yuan Qingyun was really tired, so the two went back to the house and cleaned up and fell asleep.
Xia Qian got up early the next day, she told Yuan Qingyun that she was going to run for a while, if she didn't come back, then she wouldn't wait for her, let's go out with other classmates to film, Yuan Qingyun originally wanted to stop Xia Qian, but before she could speak, Xia Qian had already gone out.
Later, she thought about it, anyway, Xia Qian's grades, no matter whether she drew well or not, as long as she asked her father to send something to the teacher, the result naturally didn't matter. So I didn't bother to care about her, and left the hotel with the other classmates after breakfast.
Xia Qian ran slowly on the ancient city trail where the air was cold but still fresh, because it was still early, so there were not many people, but it was not lonely, in short, in Xia Qian's opinion, this feeling was actually quite comfortable.
The town is not big or small, Xia Qian ran for a while, and when he was hungry, he had some breakfast in the store next to him, and then ushered in the bright sunlight that penetrated the thick clouds on a winter morning.
After walking for most of the town, Xia Qian returned to the hotel, took a shower and went out easily, it was almost eleven o'clock when she went out, and her destination was 'Po Sha Du'.
As soon as the bell rang, Xia Qian entered the 'Po Sa Du' and found that there were several coffee drinkers there, while the boss sat in front of his painting tools and mixed the paint.
"Boss, are there no more cappuccinos?" At this time, someone happened to be looking for something by the window of the cake, but he couldn't find it, so he asked the boss.
"Cappuccino is only three a day, you're late, tomorrow." The boss turned back to the guest and said, he didn't want to see Xia Qian at the door after a while, so he turned around and put down the paintbrush and walked towards her.
"Let's go."
Xia Qian glanced at the café that was quite lively, and wanted to ask him to leave like this? But after thinking about it, he still didn't ask anything, smiled at him and turned around and walked out.
