Chapter 276: Visiting the Old Place
There is one thing Ai Mo didn't tell Mu Qiming that the current owner of this shop is a friend of Ai Mu's back then, and it is precisely for this reason that Ai Mu will often come to this shop with little Ai Mo to play, in Ai Mo's memory, all the waiters in this store at that time were real people.
In fact, Ai Mo didn't know why her mother changed the store back then, but only speculated that maybe when her mother attacked the robot with force during the strike, the robot counterattacked, causing later conflicts and riots, which stimulated the mother. It's just that Ai Mu, who has always been very vain, has never explained this to her.
This was not the only one that affected the shops in the near-riot turmoil, after all, the demonstrations were spread across almost all the major cities.
Ai Mo has checked the information and read some of the reports after that. Before the turmoil, service robots were all over almost every industry, especially in places like cafes and restaurants, and many catering industries directly put robots to replace real employees. Perhaps, because Aimu has always been characterized by the comprehensive use of service robots, after that incident, because of people's resistance to robots, the café at that time was almost impossible to gain a foothold. Even if my mother hired some employees later, it still didn't make the business improve.
Aimo's mother barely managed to hold on for a while, and finally closed the café due to lack of energy or something. And after closing for a long time, at the insistence of Ai's father, Ai's mother changed the store to a friend, but at that time, I was probably still thinking about when she could bring the store back, after all, this is a big capital that she has been showing off among her friends. It wasn't until Ai Mo had Ai Mo that Ai's vanity was more satisfied, so she didn't rush to ask her friends about taking back the café, and slowly she didn't have such a strong obsession.
My father used to say that my mother had been depressed for a long time because of the collapse of the café business, and she had a deep affection for this place. But the feeling of Aimo is indeed the most accurate, and every time my mother comes here, she carries a feeling of regret and nostalgia, and even a little bit is not as complacent as she was in the past.
This is a sick emotion, which was keenly captured by the little Ai Mo who gradually felt the negative emotions around her, but the year when Ai Mo's parents just found out that Ai Mo was different from other children, they didn't care about it at first, and they would occasionally take her out, but after that, Ai Mo didn't come to this place with her parents again.
When I was a child, I would pass by this place on my way to school, but I would never set foot in the place where I used to be full of laughter, and I no longer had the happy mood I used to have. What's more, the last time Ai's mother brought her here was when Ai Mo was in the first grade, as a gesture of weakness and asking for help. She is no longer the little princess who is loved by everyone and held in the palm of her parents' hands, but has become a tool to complain to others and win sympathy.
"Let's go, since you're here, don't stand stupidly, keep staring at the door and don't go in, people still think we're playing some strange idea!" As she spoke, Anju took Momo's hand and pushed the door and walked in.
Qiu Laohu still has residual power, but Ai Mo's hand is slightly cold, An Yu gently shook her hand, and took the two of them to find a place to sit down.
The arrival of Anju and Encore has attracted the attention of many people, such a small shop, the popularity is not strong, most of the people who appear here are ordinary people, there is nothing outstanding, and naturally there are few men and women with such outstanding appearances. Ai Mo could hear someone whispering, and in an environment where girls were the majority, encore became the focus of attention, and of course it also caused dissatisfaction and jealousy among several girls' male partners.
"Three, what do you need?" A waitress walked over, looking a little young, probably the part-time student who controlled the opening time of the store at will. At this moment, she was blushing, a little nervous to hand the menu to Encore, her eyes were a little erratic, her professional ethics made her try her best to be free of distractions, but she couldn't help but glance at Encore.
"Encore is really attractive." Ai Mo was so close to the girl that her emotions beat like a wave, but fortunately, this situation would be encountered every time there was an encore and an encore, and Ai Mo was used to it, and it was difficult to be affected by this emotion anymore.
Ai Mo sat down and looked around, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he didn't see the boss who still had vague memories. But even if the boss is here, I'm afraid she may not be able to recognize her, one or two decades of life, how much impact on a person, it's unimaginable, even Ai Mo herself doesn't remember what she looked like when she was a child, but a vague impression tells her that she has changed a lot.
"Thank you." Encore ordered the meal, and the gentlemanly smiled, and the girl's eyes lit up with stars when she saw his smile, and she forgot to even say the service term, and ran away with the menu.
"Your smile is almost instant!" An Xuan held her cheeks and pouted as she watched the girl running away briskly.
"Just polite." An Ke looked at An Ju and smiled, the same faint smile, but the meaning of doting went straight to the bottom of his eyes.
"Hmph." An Ju snorted lightly and didn't dwell on it anymore, her brother's charm, she didn't see it for the first day, although she was a little unhappy, but it was undeniable that this was also a weapon.
Leaning on the back of the chair, An Ju scattered his gaze casually, couldn't help but shook his head and said: "The style here really has a sense of age, it is simply the taste of more than 20 years ago, neither keeping up with the times, nor being retro, from the decoration to the uniforms of the waiters, it is a little reluctant to say that it is unsatisfactory, and I don't know how to hold on to the present." Business is so bad, I'm afraid there are no regular roasters and baristas, I'm afraid it will take a while, but it's a good place to spend time. ”
"It's okay, it's quiet and clean, so it's okay to sit a little longer." Encore looked at Momo, who seemed to be distracted, and he had noticed something was wrong with Momo early in the morning, even more so now. I saw that her eyes were a little hollow, staring at one place in a daze, and I didn't know if she was looking at something too distracted or just empty.
After a long while, the coffee came up, and Ai Mo said slowly: "You said, if this café collapses, will the memories of the past also collapse together, and the traces here will never exist again." ”
An Ju took a sip of coffee and put it down with some disgust, Ai Mo didn't tell her what she planned to do after coming here, but hearing this, An Ju also had some guesses in her heart. I thought about Aimo's question, but I didn't know how to answer it.
