After a simple wash, Zhang Taibai got dressed and walked downstairs.

This small building has a total of three floors, and the bottom floor is the 'Rainforest Café' that Zhang Taibai has spent years savings, focusing on tropical rainforest style, and it is also a well-known store in a few neighborhoods.

The previous owner was also Chinese, and after giving the business to Zhang Taibai, he helped him continue to operate for more than three months, and declared that Zhang Taibai was their cousin.

In addition, Zhang Taibai strictly abides by the original owner's business model, so the old customers have basically not been transferred, so he doesn't have to bother too much to promote and toss.

A specialty coffee shop with many regular customers is not worried about business.

Zhang Taibai lives on the third floor, and several rooms on the second floor are temporarily used as storage rooms and guest rooms, but those two rooms are generally not well used.

He can actually rent it out, but he is not short of money now, and he is too lazy to rent the room to someone he doesn't know, so he simply wants to be quiet.

When Zhang Taibai came to the first floor, the coffee shop had not yet opened, but several employees had already arrived in advance to clean up and make preparations.

“Hey！ Good morning, boss, why did you get up so early today? The old black man in a khaki leather hat sat at the cash register and waved at Zhang Taibai, with half an uneaten hot dog in his hand.

"Old Earl, you don't have anything to say there, when didn't the boss get up at this time?" On the other side, a blonde white girl in overalls with the words 'Rainforest Cafe' on her chest was wiping the table, and said angrily to the cash register.

This overalls were designed by the former owner specifically for a designer, and I have to say that the style is still very unique - the whole body is green, down to the knee, and the waist of a rainforest animal painted in cartoon style, which is quite stylish, but not intimate. Especially when worn on the bumpy body of this blonde waitress, it looks like a different kind of beauty.

"Maitherine, you little girl, you care so much about the boss, do you want to be the boss's wife?" Earle, the old black man, quipped, and pretended to be serious, "If you really have this intention, you have to hurry, I have seen a lot of female customers flattering the boss recently......

"You go to die!"

Maitherine's face turned red, and he looked away.

"Hey, you girl won't really ......"

Seeing her reaction, Old Earl wanted to continue.

But Zhang Taibai rolled his eyes and interrupted, "Okay, Old Earle, don't bully her, hurry up and finish your breakfast, and get ready to open the door for business." ”

"Okay." Old Earl smirked.

After inspecting the preparations, Zhang Taibai personally opened the door of the café.

The door opened at exactly seven o'clock, and the street in front of the door was still empty.

"Good morning, Zhang—"

As soon as Zhang Taibai opened the door, a middle-aged man wearing a coffee-colored hat and a two-figure mustache walked in from the door, carrying a black briefcase in his hand.

"You're early, what would you like to eat today?" Zhang Taibai smiled enthusiastically when he saw the comer.

This middle-aged beard is a regular customer of the café, named Old Dugan.

Old Dugan comes here almost every day to take care of business, and he is extremely punctual, basically he will come over as soon as the door opens, and Zhang Taibai is used to it.

"A bacon and egg set with a glass of 'Rainforest Special'." Old Duggan sat down in the same place he used to sit in, and said with a smile as he took off his hat.

"Bacon and egg set, and a cup of Lao Dugan's 'Rainforest Special', the old rule-" Zhang Taibai commanded the bar, and then sat down opposite Lao Dugan.

One of the café's signature coffees, 'Rainforest Special' is a fragrant but bitter flavor that is usually added with an extra serving of sugar and a small glass of milk.

However, as an old customer, naturally there is no need to repeat the request every time, Zhang Taibai told the bar the name and old rules of Lao Dugan, and the other side naturally understood.

"What's the news lately?" Zhang Taibai asked with a smile after sitting down.

Zhang Taibai knew that Lao Dugan worked in the government department, but he didn't know exactly what he did, but this did not affect him from talking about these current affairs with Lao Dugan.

"What news can there be, and I'm still cleaning up the mess from last time." Old Dugan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Most of the shops and office buildings near the 'Stark Building' are seriously damaged, and there are a large number of dead and injured people, all of whom need to be solved and dealt with one by one, which is very troublesome. ”

"It's a blessing in misfortune, isn't it, and honestly, if it weren't for the efforts of the Avengers, it might not be just New York that would have suffered." Zhang Taibai shrugged.

"That's true, but can you expect the families of the victims to reason with you? Not everyone is self-sacrificing......" said Old Dugan with a sad face.

"That's right, that's really hard work for you." Zhang Taibai said sympathetically.

"That's all it can be." Old Dugan smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

After the two chatted a few words, Lao Dugan's breakfast and coffee were ready, and Zhang Taibai also got up and left. As a boss, it is appropriate to communicate with regular customers occasionally to make them feel at home, but you also have to know how to stop in moderation.

Soon, with the arrival of the first customer, the old Dugan, many customers came in one after another, including old customers who often came, and new customers who were more face-to-face.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that it was a little deserted.

Because of this time period, except for those who are late, office workers have already started to work, and there are only a few old men and women in the store who are still chatting.

"Boss, here's your package—"

Zhang Taibai, who was being pulled by a white old lady to chat, suddenly heard the shouts of Old Earl from the cashier at the door.

When Zhang Taibai heard this, he said hello to the old lady and walked towards the cash register.

"Who sent it?" Zhang Taibai glanced at the package, and then asked Old Earle.

"I didn't pay much attention to it, but some of them didn't seem to be the couriers of our area, they just said that it was yours, and the people left." Old Earl recalled, and then asked, "Is there something wrong with me that needs to be monitored?" ”

"No need, I'll just ask, it should be something I ordered a few days ago." Hearing Old Earle's answer, combined with the size of the rectangular package placed on the table, Zhang Taibai had actually roughly guessed what was inside, held back the excitement in his heart, shook his head and said to Old Earle.

"Tsk, boss, what kind of good thing did you order, I see that guy still has a little bit of snack power......" Old Earl was idle and gossiped.

"It's just a high-imitation model, it's not a good thing." Zhang Taibai picked up the package and said to Old Earle, "I'll go up first to see if there is any damage, and here you can help me keep an eye on the dots." ”

"Okay!"

Old Earl patted his chest to reassure Zhang Taibai.

And about Zhang Taibai's rhetoric, he has no doubts. Because Zhang Taibai of this earth himself has the habit of collecting models, which is also one of his few preferences as an orphan, the old people in the store have long been surprised, how can they think about it.

Zhang Taibai also gave a few words to the other clerks before going upstairs.

This time, instead of returning to the bedroom on the third floor, he came to the outside of a locked storage room on the second floor. After confirming that no one was following, Zhang Taibai took out a key to open the door, and then entered it directly, and closed the door again and locked it from the inside.

Smack——!

After placing the rectangular package on the table, he snapped his fingers.

The next moment, a phantom image appeared in front of his eyes.

The appearance of this phantom is a book, a slightly old ancient book as thick as an adult man's fist, and there are four big characters on the cover - "Taibai Sword Dictionary".

Yes, this broken book is the culprit who got him here, and the way this unlucky broken book followed him through is so strange!

When he was exploring, he probably figured out the current state of this broken book:

First, it seems that only he can see the appearance of this broken book, and in the eyes of others, the phantom of this broken book does not exist, just like air.

Second, the phantom of this broken book cannot be touched, even if it is not touched by himself, and he can only use his mind to control it to turn the page, appear or disappear...... Snapping your fingers to summon this is just pretending to be an effect, and it has no practical meaning in itself.

Third, now he can only open the first dozens of pages of this broken book at most. Although he didn't know exactly how many pages this broken book had, if he only compared the thickness, the dozens of pages he could open were not necessarily one percent as thick as this broken book.

Fourth, it was precisely because of the dozens of pages he could open that he felt a little more at ease and gave him the confidence to stay in this chaotic New York City.

So far, that's probably all he can figure out.

As for why he is so cautious when others can't see it, it's just just a precaution. After all, this broken book can now be said to be the biggest source of confidence for him to settle down, and in international terms, it is his 'golden finger'.

There's nothing wrong with being careful with Goldfinger.
