shop assistant
I waved to the store manager and walked into the café.
"Chunyang, this is just open, and you are the earliest employee to come."
The manager got up from his seat and made coffee for me.
"After all, I'm the most idle in this group, store manager, is there anything in the café that needs to be changed? I can go buy it now. ”
I left my bag in the back kitchen and found my work clothes to change into, standard waiter accessories.
"It's true that some need to be changed, but drink this cup of coffee before you go, and do the same as you did before, no sugar and no milk."
The manager put the coffee on the table and prepared a mousse cake for me.
"Well, thank you, manager, then you're welcome."
As someone who eats instant noodles at home, I have little resistance to these things, but I still follow what the store manager said at that time, chew slowly, and only then can I taste the deliciousness of the food in my mouth, and even more so the coffee brewed by the store manager, which is why all of us café members are obsessed with the coffee made by the store manager.
The store manager took advantage of this time to write a shopping list for me.
He gave it to me before I left and gave me a thousand yuan as an expense, but how could I spend this money when I was taken care of by him, even if he didn't lack it, but it was a choice of the heart, I don't like to owe others, but for the store manager, I can say that I owe him too much.
"There aren't many things to buy, five tablecloths, five small potted plants, four photo frames, eh, an oversized plush toy, alas, the store manager is really a daughter slave."
I walk down the street, and all kinds of shops are located in every corner of the city
I don't like to waste time, first go to the home store to buy a tablecloth, and then go to the flower shop opposite it to buy potted plants, because it is a café, the potted plants I buy belong to the category that symbolizes elegance, in the café will only play a decorative role, the aroma of flowering will not overshadow the aroma of coffee, let alone conflict with the aroma of coffee.
In order to save time, I didn't go back to the store after buying the potted plants, but negotiated with the flower shop waiter, paid the shipping fee and asked them to deliver them to the café, because it was not too far, and the number of plants was only five, even if I added the extra tablecloth I asked them to send was not too expensive.
I walked out of the flower shop and started thinking about where to buy the frames.
"It seems that I still have to go to the department store, forget it, and buy a plush toy by the way."
To be honest, I was walking down the street in my work clothes and I was a strange sight, and although I could ignore these glances, I was always embarrassed to bump into someone I knew.
But today is Wednesday, and there is still a lot of homework left, so I shouldn't bump into my classmates, and I just should.
As I walked, a lady about my height beckoned to me.
"Hey, Chunyang children, meet again, I haven't seen Chunyang for two months, and he's become handsome again."
I stopped and looked at her with a little helplessness.
"Sister Ji Meng, can you not be like this as soon as you meet, Brother Jiang Sen will be jealous."
"Slightly, he's not here anyway."
"Okay, let's go to the café quickly, the manager can say, there will be no coffee to drink if you go late."
"Aha? Why didn't you say it earlier, don't talk about it first, the coffee made by the store manager, I'm here! ”
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she didn't care that she was wearing mid-heeled shoes, and just ran like that.
"The charm of the coffee made by the store manager is really unstoppable." I sighed.
The coffee brewed by the manager is not only fragrant but also has a lingering aftertaste, and I don't think anyone in the world can resist this temptation, even though I still have a faint aroma of coffee in my mouth.
In front of the towering department store, I stopped and let the shadows cover me.
Looking at the crowds of people coming in and out with laughter, I felt a sense of fear of death, which may be why I don't like crowded places.
I lowered my head, walked into the building, and began to look for the album.
"Finally found it."
I picked up a picture frame that had been placed on the counter and looked at it carefully, when a male waiter noticed me and walked over.
"Sir, what kind of frame do you want?"
"Well, it's simpler, and the color scheme is better brown."
"Yes, sir, come with me."
"Hmm." I promised, but my heart was torn apart, sir? Well, the waiters in the department store are really professional enough.
He showed me a lot, and I looked at it for a while before finally deciding on the four I wanted to buy.
opened the receipt, and the next step was naturally to buy the oversized plush toy that Su Qian'er wanted to buy.
A boy who goes shopping alone to buy plush toys will be a little scary? And it's an oversized plush toy......
With the mentality of buying toys for my sister, I bought a giant brown bear, and finally paid for it under the surprised eyes of everyone.
Next time, I still don't want to come and buy something.
Holding a giant brown bear and a few photo frames in the middle, I appeared in front of the café.
It's really eye-catching.
Even the people in the store were surprised when they saw me.
"You're here to help, I'm going to be exhausted."
"Chunyang, I can't imagine you, you actually like plush toys." A stout man in the store said.
"What do you want, this is what the little ancestor wants to buy."
"Ahem, little ancestor, you spoil her too much, store manager." He turned his head to look at the store manager, only to see him looking at him with a smile.
"That, store manager, you are really good to the child, it is worth learning from us, Chunyang, you wait, I will help you."
"It seems that the store manager's deterrent power is still so terrifying, right, Brother Jiang Sen."
I quipped, and the other clerks laughed too, maybe I didn't have to worry so much about it here.
It took a while to clean up before we finished it, and as for the reward, of course, it was the coffee that the store manager made for us himself, as well as a few desserts, and by the time we finished eating, it was close to ten o'clock.
At present, there are only six people working in the entire café, including the store manager, and they all usually take time to work, to say that the real employees are actually only Miss Ji Meng and another Miss Shixuan, but in fact, there are not many people who come to drink coffee every day, not to mention how tired they are, and there is usually such a living treasure as Su Qian'er.
"Manager, will it officially open tomorrow?" Jiang Sen put his hand on my shoulder and asked.
"Well, but I'm going to pick up Su Qian'er back, I was thinking of picking it up and opening it again, but some of you are dying, and you call me seven times a day, what's the matter, Jiang Sen, Chen Hao, do you want someone?" Since you two are in such a hurry to open for business, let's look at the store for me for a day tomorrow, and the others can just take the time to come, if you don't have time, you won't use it, Jiang Sen and Chen Hao are here. ”
"No, I ...... the store manager" Jiang Sen opened his mouth to explain, but someone disagreed, without any mercy, and with a twist on his waist, Jiang Sen almost didn't call out.
"Do you have any comments on the manager's arrangement?" Ji Meng let go of his hand.
"No, no."
"Chen Hao, you don't have it either." Shi Yu also spoke lightly.
"Nope." Chen Hao rolled his eyes.
"Some, alas, have been punished." I brushed Jiang Sen's hand away and took the last sip of coffee in my cup.
"It's okay, Chunyang, I'm not sad, after all, you don't have a girlfriend yet, so you're more miserable." Jiang Sen stuffed a large piece of cake into his mouth, and with what I knew about him, it was obvious that he turned his grief and anger into appetite.
"Jiang Sen, I think Chunyang is much better than you, when Chunyang grows up, maybe ......"
"Sister Ji Meng, you can't talk nonsense, you'll die."
"Hahahaha."
“……”
I don't know what time it was, I went back home, thinking of the people in the café, I smiled for the first time in a long time, although no one saw it, I began to record everything today, and what I had been hiding in my heart, the world, their attachment.
"I've always been afraid of death, I don't like to be in contact with people, I don't like lively places, it will arouse my fear of death, but for the people in the café, I am both scared and expectant, I don't know exactly how I will die suddenly that day, I am afraid that my death will bring them some unnecessary sadness and trouble, but I look forward to the warmth they give, this is very contradictory, but it is true, I am afraid of contacting everyone, understanding, generating unnecessary emotions or disputes, But I am so conflicted about them, it turns out that my heart has always longed for the warmth before death? ……』
