Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Special Trial
Fang Yong spoke up in time, "Uncle and aunt, this is my niece, we want to discuss with you about the rental of the store, we want to open a store here, and we happened to see the information about the rental of your store, so we want to know about some questions." ”
"Okay, you've really come to the right place, the two of us are still discussing that if no one comes to rent yet, we will close down immediately." The old man was on crutches, and when he looked at the old grandmother, his face was still full of smiles.
"Grandpa and grandma, I would like to ask, why do you two rent out the shop?"
Immediately afterwards, Ning Shu and Fang Yong listened to a very long story, it turned out that the reason why the old couple chose to open a cake shop was because the two of them were married because of the cake, and later got married and had children, and they were very affectionate with Lele all their lives, and they never blushed because of something, just like that, they have been happy for many years, although the income is not high, but guarding such a shop, life is also perfect.
But now they are getting older and older, running such a cake shop is too hard, besides, their only son has settled abroad because he is in college abroad, and his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren are all abroad, and they have always wanted to pick up the two of them, and the two of them are reluctant to have good memories of their youth, and they have not wanted to leave, but some time ago the grandmother's high blood pressure was sick, and the grandfather could only choose to go abroad with the grandmother out of worry.
And this cake shop that carries their lifelong love has become the only sustenance they can't let go, so they want to rent the store to a good family, and want to make the tenants responsible for their shop, because the location of this store is good, so as soon as there is news of rent, many people immediately came, vying to rent this store, but the old couple is not satisfied, always feel that if those people rent this store, this place will become loveless, only become a tool to make money.
They really can't bear to watch the store they have cherished all their lives being ruined like this. After listening to this story, the corners of Ning Shu's eyes were slightly red, holding the hand of the son like this, and the love of growing old with the son, it turned out that not only appeared in novels and TV series, but also in real life, she was very lucky and lucky to see it.
"We have something in our hearts to tell you, we don't value money, we just want to find a person who can cherish our store, if the person who rents our store doesn't know how to cherish, then even if we give us more money, we won't rent, of course, if you really want to rent, let us see your sincerity, the price can be lower, even if you don't give, it doesn't matter." What the old man said made Ning Shu and Fang Yong very moved.
Ning Shu immediately expressed his sincerity to the other party, and explained the purpose of the rented shop and even the ins and outs clearly, and Fang Yong also explained beside him, but the old couple has not made a particularly obvious statement.
"Little girl, I see that you are beautiful, you are also very smart, you should be a filial child, but please understand the painstaking efforts of our old couple, if you want to rent our shop, you must pass a test, if you pass, our shop will be rented to you immediately without saying a word, and you can even rent it without rent."
As soon as he heard this, Fang Yong was one head and two big, he always felt that renting a shop was so difficult, as soon as he came up impulsively, he just wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Ning Shu, Ning Shu pulled him aside, leaned into his ear, and said softly, "Uncle, don't be too impulsive, how sincere this old couple is, it's just a test, let's try it, after all, this shop is really good." ”
Fang Yong's impatience was instantly dispelled, "It's okay, then let's give it a try." ”
Hearing this, Ning Shu turned around and bowed politely to the old grandfather and grandmother, "My uncle and I have already discussed, if we can reassure you if we accept the test, then we are willing to accept it." ”
The old couple looked at each other, and they were a little surprised in their hearts, and ordinary people basically left when they heard their words, because the two of them were deliberately embarrassing people, and they stayed behind to be tested, and basically their attitudes were not very good, and they were cold and cold, like a debt collector, and only the girl in front of them, sincere and polite, was indeed a good girl.
It turned out that the so-called test of this old couple was very simple, that is, to help them run a cake shop for a day, and the two of them would check the performance of Ning Shu and Fang Yong throughout the day through monitoring, and make a decision on whether to make a store by whether the performance was good.
Ning Shu happily agreed to this request, and Fang Yong's machismo was also suppressed back by Ning Shu in time, Ning Shu knew that Fang Yong was not very good-tempered, in fact, he was also kind in his heart, and he was sincere, otherwise he would not have been persuaded so easily, he should have been moved by the story of the old couple.
In this way, Ning Shu and Fang Yong immediately reopened the cake shop, each wearing a work clothes, standing on both sides of the store, the cake shop run by the old couple does not belong to the modern cake technology, but the ancient pastry craft handed down from the Republic of China, which looks very exquisite and full of ancient style, Ning Shu took out a piece of osmanthus cake, tasted it, and nodded subconsciously.
This osmanthus cake is sweet but not greasy, and accompanied by a vague fragrance, this taste lingers in the mouth, endures, the most important point is that although this osmanthus cake has undergone many processing steps, but still maintains the fragrance and freshness of the osmanthus at the beginning, and even has a dewy taste, the fragrance lingers on the tip of the tongue.
Soon, there were batches of customers in the cake shop, Ning Shu and Fang Yong, two people dutifully served the customers, a few hours later, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were obviously fewer people on the street, just when Ning Shu thought that there were about to be no customers, a weak voice suddenly came from the door.
"Uncle, sister, I haven't eaten for a long time, I'm really hungry now, can you let me eat a cake? I just need a piece. ”
In the direction of the sound, in a corner of the entrance of the cake shop, there was a little girl in tattered clothes, only eight or nine years old.
