Chapter 28: Sultry

Aunt Li's milk tea shop is called 'Happy Milk Tea Shop', and in this era of advocating trends, the name seems a bit rustic, but Meng Lin didn't think about changing the name after taking over.

The happy milk tea shop run by Aunt Li is not the kind of business model that pays money on the street and delivers goods with one hand and takes people away. It is a teahouse-style milk tea shop with more than 50 square meters of storefront.

There are neat and clean tables and chairs in the hall of the bubble tea shop, where college students can sit and read, relax, and chat.

There is also a high-powered cabinet air conditioner and a large TV in the bubble tea shop, both of which Aunt Li brought from home when the bubble tea shop opened.

There is a large bookshelf next to the wall of the counter in the store, and the books inside can be borrowed for free.

When Aunt Li opened the store, she brought some books from home, originally thinking that after a long time, the books would slowly break, be lost, and become fewer.

Unexpectedly, there are more and more books.

When some students graduated, they threw the books they didn't use into the shelves, and after there were more books, Aunt Li even put a few more bookcases next to the bookshelf to hold the books.

In recent years, e-reading has become popular, and there are fewer people who come into the store to borrow books, and fewer people who put books in, but the bookshelves are still preserved, and there will always be some students who will come to rummage through the store after entering the store, and sit down and read one or two books after taking them.

After ordering milk tea at the Happy Milk Tea Shop, customers can pay on the spot and take the milk tea and leave, or they can find a window seat in the store, read a book while drinking milk tea, or watch the street scene, and pay the bill when they leave.

That's why there is a situation where Sun Fat Man drinks milk tea and doesn't give money.

But that kind of situation is rare, the quality of nearby college students is generally very high, most of the girls are willing to go into the milk tea shop to drink milk tea, sit down and chat, most of the boys accompany the girls in, and the atmosphere of the milk tea shop is relatively harmonious in most cases.

Aunt Li's bubble tea shop also has a lot less commercial flavor and more warm home atmosphere.

After Meng Lin took over, he also extended the original style of the bubble tea shop.

Meng Lin even felt that it was Aunt Li's gentle, optimistic personality and positive attitude towards life that made her live in the murderous mansion for seven years before being taken away by those evil ghosts.

Before opening the store every day, Meng Lin would wipe all the tables and chairs, as well as air conditioners, TVs, bookshelves, etc., to wipe off the little dust accumulated during the night.

Then, get ready for pickup.

……

It was September, and the first few days were either rainy or cloudy, and the temperature was not too high.

Today the sky was clear, and after the sun came out, it was noon and the shop was getting stuffy.

Meng Lin cleaned the filter of the cabinet air conditioner in advance, and after turning on the air conditioner, the store quickly cooled down.

But at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the store suddenly became stuffy again.

Several college students sitting in the store checked out and left, and two college students walked into the store, originally wanting to sit in the store for a while with a cup of milk tea, but they felt that the store was very hot, and they turned around and left without even buying milk tea.

"Is the air conditioner broken?"

Meng Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized.

He walked to the air conditioning cabinet in the corner of the wall to feel it, and sure enough, it was not cold air blowing out of the air outlet.

It's the beginning of September, and according to the weather forecast, the hot weather will last for at least half a month.

It's not too hot, but it's unbearable for customers who come in.

Other people's stores have air conditioning, but you don't have them in this store, so why do you want to sit and sweat in your store?

Therefore, the air conditioner must be repaired.

And in two months, the weather will be colder, after it gets cold, you have to turn on the heating, or you still need to use air conditioning, and it is better to repair it late than early.

There was an electrical repair shop on the street nearby, and Meng Lin walked over and called a maintenance master to come and help him repair the air conditioner.

After overhauling for more than ten minutes, the maintenance master told Meng Lin an unfortunate news.

The service life of this air conditioning cabinet is very long, and when Aunt Li was there, he came over to repair it a few times, all of which were minor faults, and you can continue to use it if you change a few parts.

But this time it was different, the compressor of the air conditioning cabinet unit was broken.

"The compressor of the air conditioner is like the heart of the air conditioner, and there is no way to fix it if it is broken." The maintenance master said to Meng Lin.

"What about changing?"

"Change the compressor? The price of replacement is not as good as buying a new machine. And you can't use other parts of the air conditioner, just like an old broken car, even if you get a new engine, the other parts ...... The drive rod may break, the wheel may run off, and it still won't open. Even if you change the compressor, your air conditioner may not work properly. The maintenance master shook his head.

"So I have to buy a new air conditioner?"

"Yes, the cost of replacement parts repairs is even higher than that of a new air conditioner."

After paying the maintenance fee and leaving the maintenance master, Meng Lin sat back at the counter depressed.

The store needs a high-power cabinet air conditioner, which costs at least a few thousand yuan to get it, and he doesn't have that much money on him now.

……

Thinking that Luo Min was going to invite him to dinner in the evening, and there were no customers in the stuffy store, Meng Lin put up a sign that was closed at five o'clock in the afternoon.

It's just that he waited until more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and he didn't wait for Luo Min's call.

"Forgot you were going to invite me to dinner tonight?"

"Isn't that right? Don't make an appointment, at least say hello to me in advance, right? Meng Lin was a little unhappy in his heart.

If you call to ask, it will be too shameless, after all, she invited him to dinner.

Thinking of Luo Min, Meng Lin couldn't help but think of the cow.

By the way, what happened to the cow in last night's dream? It doesn't seem to match that dream at all!

Just as Meng Lin was thinking about what was going on with the cow in his dream, there was a knock outside the store, and Meng Lin looked at it and found that it was Luo Min standing outside the glass door.

"Coming here?" Meng Lin hurriedly walked over and opened the glass door, preparing to let Luo Min into the store.

"Where do you want to eat at night?" Luo Min stood outside the store and didn't mean to enter the store, but asked Meng Lin directly.

"You can do it, I can do anything." Meng Lin had an indifferent expression on his face.

"Then let's go have a barbecue buffet." Luo Min seems to have a plan.

"Okay."

After saying that, Luo Min walked to a Volkswagen Bora parked on the side of the street, opened the door and let Meng Lin into the passenger seat, and then walked over and sat down in the driver's seat.

"The car you bought?" Meng Lin glanced around the car.

"My dad's car, I just borrowed it."

"I remember that your family is very rich, how did you ......"

"Don't buy luxury cars? Why do you have to buy a luxury car if you have money? ”

"No, I haven't been in a luxury car, thinking that your family is very rich, I finally have the opportunity to take a luxury car today, I didn't expect it to be such a broken car......" Meng Lin shook his head.

Luo Min glanced at Meng Lin with a look of disdain.

"When I have money, I will definitely buy a luxury car, a roadster, and bring you with me, so that you can also enjoy it." Meng Lin looked at Luo Min and smiled.

Luo Min rolled his eyes again, not wanting to continue chatting with Meng Lin at all.

New books seek rewards, collections, recommended tickets, and all kinds of friction......
