Chapter 3 Interesting shopkeeper
As soon as I entered the door, the guy at the bar greeted me: "Welcome, guest, sit." "As he spoke, he came out from behind the bar to help me move the chair, and I was a little unaccustomed to being so enthusiastic, but it seems that the new store is more serious, and it is not slacking off at all in the middle of the night. The design of the restaurant is also a bit chic, the chair is in the shape of a supine cat, sitting on it is like sitting on the belly of a cat, soft and comfortable, the table is in the shape of a cat's paw, and the design of the whole store highlights their theme. I sat down on the seat that the little brother moved out, he stood beside him, opened the menu and handed it over, hey, this menu is also a four-legged cat like a cat, and I don't forget to drag a small tail underneath, and it will shake from side to side as the page is turned, and the owner of the store is quite thoughtful. I took a cursory look at this shopkeeper, dressed in a white uniform, tied with a cat's claw-shaped black waist, he looked quite white, his eyes were very beautiful, and there was an elegant and noble temperament in his gestures, probably because he had seen too much here, I didn't know why I thought he was also like a cat, and I was thinking about it, and I heard him say respectfully in a very pleasant voice: "Look at the list, do you have anything you like?" ”
"Well, I'll see." I flipped through the menu, but luckily, it was still something that people eat, not cat food. I ordered a set of meals that looked more pleasing to the eye on the picture, and the little brother took the list and wrote it down very carefully, bowed to me, and then left with the menu.
I took advantage of the gap between the dishes to continue to look at the newly opened shop, the theme of cats is indeed very strong, not far from me sat a few domestic cats of different breeds, just now they were lying lazily, now they all sat up, staring at all kinds of big eyes, all looking at me. Curiosity is very heavy, it seems that it is still a newly opened store, and there are fewer people to see, so I probably won't have such a strong interest in people after a while. Just thinking about it, I suddenly found that a fat cat in front of the window sill in front of me on the left was very familiar, with orange and white coat and a round figure. Is it the one near my house?! No, even though my house is not far from here, does the cat have such a large range of movement? This big orange cat just looked at me, without the slightest intention of approaching me, it should not be the same one, he will not run to my community to find me to eat, besides, I only found out today that there is a new supper club here, it just looks like it, I thought, the orange white seems to have lost interest in me, turned to look out the window.
After a while, the things I ordered came up, or the little brother came to my table with a plate, the posture is very elegant, at first glance is professional service training, the tableware is clean and tidy, although it is a very simple rice bowl with vegetables, soup, but the whole plate seems to be very thoughtful, people look very comfortable. Yes, many restaurants can't be so meticulous and tidy now, and it seems that the owner has put a lot of thought into it. The food tasted surprisingly good, which made me feel even more surprised, and it was not in vain that I ran out in the middle of the night! In a short time I ate the whole meal, firstly hungry and secondly really delicious. After eating, I felt satisfied, and I couldn't help but want to chat with the shopkeeper: "Boss, how long do you close?" It feels like there are no guests at this late hour. ”
"We close at dawn, you look at the night owls in this room, they should all go to sleep at dawn, haha." The little brother seemed to see that I wanted to talk, and sat down opposite me.
"Interesting, is business good? Your restaurant is really good, distinctive, clean and tidy, the food tastes good, and the number of customers will not affect the business? I asked.
The little brother replied with a smile: "At present, it can still be maintained, we have just opened, and now there are more night owls, and we can also deliver takeaways, knowing that the customers of our store are willing to come again." ”
"Then I will definitely come again, are you a clerk or a boss?"
"One of the bosses, the others don't like to deal with people, and I'm quite happy, so I'll run more errands." The little brother replied.
"I can see that the boss is a kind person, my name is Wu Hua, what do you call the boss?" I asked.
"I'd rather you call me Billy than the boss, haha, hello, Wu Hua." Billy really gives an elegant yet intimate feel to make people comfortable.
"Boss, oh, Billy, it seems that he is the majority shareholder~ is a person who likes cats very much, and the cats in this room are very comfortable with you."
"This is their home, and they must be at home in their own home." Billy said as he looked at the cats in the store.
"Mmmm, I also like cats, but not as deep as you, I see stray cats can be fed, but I have never had a cat at home." I said.
Billy smiled and said, "You can tell from the way you look at them that you like them very much." ”
"Well, I do prefer cats to people," I said with a smile, "but I am very willing to talk to you, I rarely talk to people so freely, and I always pay attention to the other person's performance from time to time, and I will consider my own expression." Before you know it, you're going to tire yourself out. ”
"A person who goes out alone for supper at two or three o'clock in the morning should not be a person who likes to socialize very much, and it is very happy to make you feel relaxed~ But many people are like this, and sometimes they are defensive when they are with familiar people; When communicating with relatively unfamiliar people, it is easy and does not have too much burden. Billy said as he looked me in the eye, "Insomnia?" Look at your heavy dark eyes, the bags under your eyes are hanging, and you are going to fall into the bowl when you eat. ”
I shrugged helplessly: "It's true, I've been having the same nightmare lately, it's hard to fall asleep again when I wake up, and it's time to get up again when I'm about to fall asleep, it's painful!" ”
"Maybe you're worried about something, think about it day and night, think less about bad things, and let yourself relax." Billy said.
"I don't really worry about anything, I don't know why I always dream of being chased by ghosts, and every time I wake up when I am chased, I don't really understand the reason, and there is no deadline for my work or life at the moment."
Billy smiled and said: "Personal opinion, whether it is a nightmare or a sweet dream, it is a reflection of your own mind, don't worry so much, having nightmares all the time is not necessarily a bad thing." I have a sweet dream, and when I wake up, everything is empty, and I am lost; Dreaming of something bad and waking up to find that it wasn't so bad is also a kind of comfort, reminding you to cherish your current life more, Wu Hua, what do you think? ”
"I feel more comforted to say this, haha, thank you!"
"Speaking of which, when I was a child, I learned spells for a few days, and I would make some simple exorcism amulets and give you one to suppress evil spirits." Billy put on a mysterious expression, then pulled the gadget out of his pants bag and reached out to me.
I took it and looked at it, it was a sachet the size of a fist, the image of a white cat squatting, the big round face was very cute, I opened it and looked, there was a small rolled up paper tube, I unfolded it and found that it was a white paper, and nothing was written on it.
"No words of blessing? Why don't you write me an auspicious word? I said to him with a smile.
"It's written.,I wrote it with a special spell pen.,I don't usually see it.,When you open it when you meet a ghost.,You'll see the content on it.,Then it can save your life!" Billy looked at me with a serious expression.
"It's... I... Is it really haunted by ghosts? Friend, don't be kidding, I'm fine this day, but I really can't stand it in the middle of the night, you make me feel a chill down my spine. "I'm an atheist during the day, and I believe in everything in the middle of the night.
"Hahaha...," Billy laughed, "Then blame me, I shouldn't have made this kind of joke with you out of place, forgive me, this is a wishing paper, it is very effective, if you think of any wish you want to achieve in the future, write it down, pray for blessings~ But you can only write it once, you must have thought about it, and make the wish you want to achieve the most!" ”
"Oh oh oh, that's really thank you, I don't have any ideas for the time being, I will write when I need to, and the picture is auspicious~" I put it in my pants bag, and I don't particularly believe that it can have much effect, but I think the sachet is very good-looking, and the saying is also very beautiful, and you can transfer it to her when you meet a girl you like in the future, and take it back and put it in the bookcase first.
After making a small calculation, I said to Billy: "Alas, it's a pity that I have to go to work tomorrow, otherwise I really want to talk to you here for a while, thank you for the gift, it's so beautiful!" Go back to bed, come back another day, and bring some cat snacks. ”
"Okay, okay, then we must be looking forward to your visit here!" Billy put his hands in front of him and bowed to me.
"You're so polite, Billy, you're so good, so professional! But you don't have to do this to me in the future, we are friends, so you don't have to be so polite to me. I waved my hand at him, and was about to turn around and go out, when I suddenly felt a dizziness, a thick sleepiness enveloped me, and I couldn't open my eyes all of a sudden, "Hey, why are you so sleepy all of a sudden, Billy, I'll sit here with you for a while... It's so strange..."As he spoke, he felt very sleepy, why was he so sleepy all of a sudden? Confused...
