Chapter 274: Coffee Shop and Malatang
My heart tightened, but I was still relieved in a relaxed way: "This is really different when I am an actor, even looking back is acting online!" ”
Jing Qi cooperated with me and said with a perfunctory smile: "If the filming is good and you are not satisfied, you can ask for it again, but unfortunately there is no way to NG in real life." ”
I realized that I had made a joke that I shouldn't have made, and I wanted to comfort her but I couldn't say it, at this time, Li Shi took out a small gourd from the counter to leave a message for tourists to pray for blessings, and gave it to Jing Qi, and then walked out of the hostel first.
After sending the activity plan of "one yuan to drink coffee, stay in a hostel for free" to Nian Ge, I hurriedly followed Li Shi out, but I didn't expect Jingqi to stop me and ask me to wait for two more minutes.
She quickly ran to the counter and picked up the pen, writing on the small bamboo board under the gourd.
I was playing with my mobile phone, leaning on the front desk and waiting for her, and by chance I caught a glimpse of the phone screen that lit up, it was a message that Nian Ge replied to me, she should have finished reading my activity plan, and replied directly: The plan has no actual profit, rejected.
I was just about to reply to the message, at this moment Jing Qi had put down her pen, curiosity prompted me to lean over to take a look, before I got to her, she had quickly hidden, and then walked to the backyard in a dashing manner, and threw it on the blessing tree in the yard.
After a one-way action, she folded her hands and made a vow.
I said to the side: "This is a lucky tree, and now your wishes, like thousands of wishes on the tree, are wrapped around the branches and take root." ”
Jing Qi looked up at hundreds of prayer cards and ribbons, and said thoughtfully: "I hope my wish can come true!" ”
This scene, and remembered those fragmented time and pictures, think about it, people will change, we have known each other for more than three years, but this is the first time I have seen her so faithful, pious prayer, once upon a time in those difficult days, I will always tie a ribbon to pray for blessings and make wishes, but she regards this behavior as a pediatric, no matter how I persuade, I am not willing to write down a prayer card.
Now, we've all changed, I've become realistic, and she's starting to believe in her fate.
……
The sun shines wantonly on every bluestone slab in the scenic spot, the car moves forward gently, Jing Qi, who is sitting in the back row, still praises the experience of staying in the hostel: "The room is getting more and more comfortable, and the details of the decoration are more clear. ”
I thought about it, although I didn't say it, but my face unconsciously raised a smile, fell into that picture, and said after a long time: "Life is boiled out, every suffering is a gift tailored for us, survive this time, everyone will live with a smile." ”
Li Shi on the co-pilot took out Lin Ke's album again and stuffed it into the player, and we took what we needed in this "cheap" album.
While waiting for the traffic light, I suddenly remembered the proposal that had been denied by the song, so I picked up my phone and opened the document for Li Shi to see, trying to help me analyze the feasibility of the event.
Li Shi took the phone, carefully read the copy, and raised a few doubts about my copy, I immediately told her about the "one yuan coffee, free hostel" plan.
After listening to this, she pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, the target consumer group you are targeting is those who have already consumed in coffee shops and have left their addresses. ”
Jing Qi also read the copywriting carefully, saying that except for some small humanized details that need to be improved, from the perspective of consumers, I feel that the whole plan is not inappropriate.
The plan was denied, which is also what I don't understand, thinking that Nian Ge may have her own ideas, I plan to talk to her about the operation of the plan later, and I can bear all the losses of this project.
……
When I arrived near the coffee shop, there were more and more vehicles and pedestrians, Jing Qi put on her dull mask again, raised her hand and looked at her watch, and then said goodbye to me, saying that she had some personal matters to deal with, so she would not go to the coffee shop to sit.
She opened the car door, and before she was about to walk out, she turned back to me and said, "Yu Hang, be with Li Shi well, I'll wait for your marriage." ”
I was stunned for a moment before nodding to her, and after she left a blessed smile, she walked into the small alley on the side of the road with a lonely back in the bright sunlight, and there would be a bus stop at the end.
Li Shi and I stared at Jing Qi's departing back until she completely disappeared from my sight. In addition to feeling resentful about this best friend, I also wondered what kind of past she was carrying......
Thankfully, the narrow alley didn't lose its luster because it was long, and two sunflowers growing in front of someone's house were growing in front of someone's house.
……
Entering the coffee shop, the chanting song that has always liked to hold his cheeks on the counter in a daze was not there, but was replaced by Yang Xuejun, who was busy in a suit but wearing an apron, after seeing Li Shi, Yang Xuejun, who was tilting his head to observe the coffee, seemed to be a little panicked, he rubbed his apron helplessly, cleared his throat and said: "Here, this coffee is so strange!" ”
Li Shi looked puzzled and asked, "What's strange?" ”
I've learned her way of playing ball, and I have to accept it, when you make up nonsense, you have to make up another answer.
"Coffee ...... Such a hard object can be so fragrant when cooked......"
"Brother Xuejun, are you drinking coffee for the first time?"
"Of course not!"
"Are you going to apprentice here?"
"Stop, aren't you here to find Song Niange? Always talking to me about something here, she's on the little rooftop of the building. ”
Li Shi didn't care whether Yang Xuejun was embarrassed by her words, took my hand, and said as she walked up the stairs: "Yu Hang, you don't know how willful Brother Xuejun was when he was a child, a little girl, take a box of folded stars and give it to him, he actually threw it away in front of others. I still remember him saying in a high-end restaurant that men should not go to the kitchen, and only fighting the wind and waves in the commercial field can be considered a man's true character, such a man with professional prejudice and narcissism to death, now he actually wears an apron and stands at the bar, this life is really unpredictable, I must tell Nian Ge all this truth. ”
Yang Xuejun downstairs took off his apron and was about to follow.
Li Shi stopped, looked at him condescendingly, and teased again: "What's the matter, do you want to follow me and listen to my live broadcast?" ”
Yang Xuejun said as if instinctively: "Spare your life!" ”
"Do you know what happened to Brother Xuejun?"
"I know I'm wrong, and I definitely don't just approve the information."
"Tell you, I'm a man who can protect me." Saying that, Li Shi, who was one level higher than me, actually touched my head comfortingly.
Holy shit, am I a puppy?
Don't guess, I also know why Li Shi teased him so much, Li Shi also understood, the document reply just now, the tone of his speech, should be Yang Xuejun, who is in a high position, used the computer on the counter instead of reading the song to reply to me.
……
On the rooftop, Nian Ge raised her eyes and looked at her, holding a bottle of liquor, standing on the edge of the guardrail, although thoughtful, but her expression was unusually calm, which made me feel a little relieved.
We walked up to her and found that the rooftop was the best place to see the view, not only with a wide view, but also with the best angle of sunlight falling on the coffee shop's mahogany sign.
No matter how good the scenery is, it is inevitably a little bleak and boring after seeing our arrival, chanting the song for a long time before she came back to her senses, she sighed: "Waiting for people to wait and wait, almost fell asleep standing up." ”
Nian Ge looked haggard, she must have not slept well last night, she sighed: "Yang Xuejun found a relationship, said that he would bring someone to the site in the morning to confirm the quality of the project, it has been half an hour after the scheduled time, and I don't know if I will come yet." ”
Li Shi comforted: "He is already making coffee below, he should be confident, I believe in his ability to do things, don't worry too much." ”
"Li Shi, you said a coffee shop or a spicy hot shop, which is more advanced?"
"Most people think that Malatang is a daily life, and coffee is a distant place, but I think it's just a way of life, and there is no distinction between high-end and low-level."
"Since there is no difference, in my impression of 7 years in the industry, with the same business area, there is no café that makes more money than Malatang, why is this?"
"There is always someone in charge of face, and someone is in charge of the lining."
Nian Ge smiled indifferently: "I still remember the days when I was in Hulunbuir, I followed the local customs and lived a daily life of the locals. Build a camp together, eat barbecue together, drink mare's milk wine, and meet each other late under the clouds on the horizon of the sunset. I rode into the hinterland of the grassland and lived like a herdsman. In the evenings, herders light bonfires and play the melodious horse-head fiddles. So a group of people sang and danced, and the distance between strangers would be shortened. At that time, I wondered if I should go back to the "Ichimi" coffee shop, after all, there are still many unsent letters, many recorded photos, full of stories, and probably infinite memories for the owner. Maybe they have long forgotten about the existence of this matter, but one day in the future, if they are lucky enough to receive their own slow email again, how excited it would be, so I came back without hesitation, but this time I came back, but it made me more painful. ”
"A deep soul, even if it is painful, is beautiful." Li Shi tried to comfort.
The word pain seemed to force out the hurt I felt empathetic, and after a sigh, I patted Niange on the shoulder and motioned for her to put down the bottle she was holding tightly and sit down to rest for a while.
Nian Ge leaned on the table, her arms pillowed her head, looking at the gray tone of the ancient city buildings in the distance, her eyes moistened, at this moment, I seemed to see through her eyes: she had worked hard for her dreams, even if she was tired, but still with a smile to look forward to, so even I had a feeling of being torn......
But I knew that I didn't need to say anything comforting to her, she was trying to dissolve the indigestible emotions in her own way.
I know that her eyes will look at the desolation of the universe, at the rising and setting of the sun, at the setting of the moon, at the movement of the stars, not at the boring little things that I worry about in the banal world, which cannot be put on the table.
Before he could calm down, Yang Xuejun in the open space downstairs raised his head and shouted: "The inspection team is coming, you come down and prepare." ”
Nian Ge wiped her tears, and finally showed a hint of relief, and hurried downstairs with us, whether the coffee shop can continue to operate depends on the inspection results of the meeting.
