Chapter 44: The Guest
Chapter 44 Guests
"Alcoholic beverages, all kinds of coffee, tea drinks...... Ice cream? Pafi? It feels like there can be ...... too."
Fu Jixian sat on a stool in front of the bar in his cafΓ©, thinking about creating a menu in the store.
The business permit, fire inspection and other formalities have been completed, and the next step is to decide on the menu, prepare the materials, and add personnel, and the store can open for business at any time.
A slight change has been made to the right side of the bar, where there is an additional cat climbing frame that has been assembled. On the small platform at the top of the cat's climbing frame, the cat was lying there squinting and pretending to sleep.
It seems that some cats are like this and will especially like to stay in high places.
To be honest, it is quite oppressive to have such a pair of overlooking eyes at home, and every time Fu Jixianli looks up, he feels that it is "overseeing".
The cat is the boss, and Fu Ji Xianli feels that he is just a working boy.
It was close to noon when someone came to the store.
"Is Rikun here? I'm coming. β
After hearing this voice, Fu Ji Xianli immediately stood up and greeted the other party.
"Is it Big Go? You're finally here.
It's hard work, welcome to Tokyo. β
He had already received a notice from Shinoshi that he would be coming to Tokyo today.
"Is this the shop, it feels very good."
After shaking hands with Fu Jixianli and putting down the backpack behind him, the other party began to look inside the store.
His name is Daigo Sugiyama, he is twenty-five years old, and he is a cook. should be regarded as the playmate of "Fu Ji Xianli" when he was a child, and he belongs to the Yamanashi people who know the roots.
Daigo Sugiyama's appearance is very good, not to mention how handsome he is, but it is certainly not a crooked melon and cracked dates, and at first glance, it makes people feel that he is the kind of chef who is very clean...... This will make both the owner and the customer satisfied, after all, the image aspect is still very important in the service industry.
"It was designed by the former owner and the dΓ©cor was basically maintained here......
Big brother, it just so happens that I'm thinking about the menu right now, so you can help me too. β
Seeing that Daigo Sugiyama looked very energetic, Fu Ji Xianli immediately arrested him to work. That's how the title "tool man" came about, and Fu Jixianli regained a little bit of the feeling of being a shopkeeper.
"Already? In fact, it would be nice to refine it a little bit later. β
Daigo Sugiyama glanced at the menu made by Fu Ji Kenri, and felt that the content on it was already eight or nine ten, and there was not much he could modify. After all, the store essentially sells drinks rather than food, so the menu will be relatively fixed.
In fact, the role of chef is a bit redundant, and Fu Jixian should hire a bartender.
"I'm just going to do it casually, and I'll leave it to you, a senior practitioner, next."
How is Fu Jixianli's menu made? The process is actually very simple, open the web page, search for the menu of similar stores, and then copy it, so he is still relatively efficient.
"Lijun, is this your cat?"
Just as Daigo Sugiyama replaced Kenri Fu and started writing the menu, the cat got off the cat climbing frame, and it walked up to Sugiyama and sniffed at him.
"Well, the stray cat that was recently adopted, called 'Yuanchang', is already an eight-year-old cat, but fortunately, it is relatively healthy."
This is the test result of the pet hospital, but Fu Jixian thinks that the cat should be more than eight years old.
"Hello Yuanchang...... It's quite human, it's not like a feral cat. Daigo Sugiyama said hello to the cat.
Fu Jixian said that this cat is probably not approaching people, but distinguishing whether the person in front of him is a human or not......
Sure enough, Yuanchang just sniffed, and then it went straight back to the "bird's-eye view" on the cat's climbing frame
"But Lijun's personality has indeed become much softer than before, and you will actually have a pet when you have it." Daigo Sugiyama looked at the slow old cat and said with emotion.
ββ¦β¦β
What does this mean? Fu Jixian was puzzled.
Was I a cat before?
"Has the place where Big Brother lives been done?"
Fu Jixian couldn't respond to the other party's emotion, so he simply changed the topic.
"Well, I rented an apartment nearby...... In fact, you can also take the train to and from Yamanashi every day, but it's just a little rush. β
This kind of restaurant is definitely closed in the morning, so it's a good time to come from Yamanashi in the morning...... It's not uncommon to see people who work in Tokyo and live in Saitama, and many of them are office workers, so you can imagine how hard it is.
It can only be said that it is worthy of the birthplace of the word "social animal".
While making these in-store preparations, Fu Jixian also distributed some flyers to recruit short-term waiters, focusing on the nearby high school campus...... Some students and parents are happy to earn some pocket money through hands-on work in a legitimate business setting.
Of course, it's important to have a "proper place of business nearby".
During this period, Fu Jixianli of course also paid attention to whether anyone found this place through that website, but it turned out that there are not so many strange events in the world, and he even felt that he might not be able to encounter that kind of thing again in a year - well, this person did not hesitate to set a flag for himself.
As for his "official job position" as commercial commissioner, Fu Jixian has completely abandoned it.
Sorry, what's that? Have you had fun opening your own shop?
In short, three days later, the tea shop "Agatha" officially opened.
Fu Jixian set the opening hours from 11 noon to 7 pm, considering that the store had closed down due to poor management before, and he was quiet when he reopened now, so he didn't plan to run the store so hot.
But what he didn't expect was that within a few minutes of opening, three customers walked into the store.
They walked into the store, looked around for a moment, then looked at each other and nodded, as if to confirm something.
Then they took a seat closest to the door and sat down.
Fu Jixian felt that there was a problem with these people, and normal people should not give preference to the kind of position where people come and go. However, in line with the principle of "smile first" in the service industry, he still walked over and prepared to receive them.
"Welcome, what would you like to drink?" Saying that, Fu Jixian handed over a menu, "I'm sorry, because our store has just opened, some details are not fully prepared, so the menu can only be like this for the time being, sorry for the inconvenience." β
The menu he handed over was handwritten, and there was no pictorial caption on it, because the official menu had not yet finished printing.
One of the three young men sitting at a table reached out and took the menu, and then the menu passed quickly between the three of them, and almost in the blink of an eye it was back in Fu Jixianli's hands, so much so that he had to suspect that these people didn't see a word in their eyes.
"Boss, have a cappuccino."
"Cappuccino plus a cup."
"I'm the same."
It's true that you don't need to look at the menu for this thing, and it's impossible for a normal coffee shop not to sell this.
The guests didn't seem to be here to find fault, and they ordered normally.
"Got it, three cappuccinos, please wait."
Fu Jixianli turned around and frowned at the same time.
These three people give him a certain sense of familiarity, but where does this familiarity come from?
He couldn't remember.
