Chapter 1180: The Rose Cafe
The experiment lasted for several days, and in addition to testing the power of the Rubik's Cube to relax Roland, another way to decompress was the dream world - with a group of witches who were curious about everything and had a never-ending exclamation, no matter what they did, they could make people feel happy.
Preparing to open a store is no exception.
After a month and a half of busy work, the Rose Cafe finally ushered in the opening day.
In order to keep a low profile, he deliberately chose to cut the ribbon and set off firecrackers after 10 o'clock - this time period is when the breakfast shop is basically closed, students and office workers have left their residences, and the uncle and aunt are bargaining in the vegetable market, which can be said to be the quietest moment in the tube community.
The café is located next to the warehouse, with a total of two floors, and the rent is 3,500 a month, which may not sound expensive, but considering the per capita spending power of the residents of the tube area, this is already a high price.
It's just that Roland doesn't care about whether it can be profitable, so he doesn't care too much about the landlord, the only requirement is to open the partition wall between the warehouse and the rental house, so that the materials can enter and exit, and of course, when the rent is returned, it will be filled back as it is.
For the sake of his one-time payment of a year's rent, the landlord happily agreed.
However, these statements are all intended to hide people's eyes.
Roland had no intention of turning into a businessman, and the Witch of Tachira certainly had no interest in serving others, so the décor of the café was purely a decoration, more of a small place for everyone to entertain themselves than a shop.
If he could, he would have preferred not a single guest.
In order to achieve this, on the signboard hanging at the door, every drink is "sky-high": for example, 26 glasses of latte, 300 glasses of caramel macchiato. He didn't know the difference between these coffee categories, it was just a matter of multiplying the price of a certain store by ten.
You must know that the bottle of soy milk next door is only five cents a piece.
He didn't believe that anyone would patronize this "black shop".
In the same way, if someone is clearly slaughtered and wants to come in for consumption, then nine times out of ten they are the "agreed person" on the note.
But whether the name of this "rose" counts or not, Roland has no bottom in his heart.
"Your Majesty, is that all it take?" Phyllis put down the ribbon in her hand.
"Well, as long as the ribbon is cut, the Rose Café is officially open. He nodded, "Let's go celebrate with everyone." ”
Pushing the door open and entering the room, you are greeted by a bar and several small round tables, each with candles and vases of roses, and the stereo playing soft music, which looks quite like that. But when the two of them reached the second floor, the atmosphere became completely different – it was more appropriate to say that it was a small restaurant than a café.
Roland bought a full set of kitchen utensils and barbecue grills for the ancient witches who entered the dream realm, and now they can taste all kinds of fresh food without going out, compared to only taking them to Kaifeng Cai and Blue Blue Road at the beginning. Probably to make up for hundreds of years of regret, and the fact that the haute cuisine brought back from the hotel last time opened the door to a new world, the enthusiasm for cooking was beyond imagination, except for the time it took to learn how to use modern cooking appliances such as gas stoves and microwave ovens at first, and then I was able to think about all kinds of new dishes according to the recipes almost without his guidance.
And several of them are exceptionally talented, and the finished product is quite a bit of a star chef's style, although it is slightly lacking in plating and parquet, but the control of knife work and heat is absolutely impeccable, and Phyllis is one of them.
"Your Majesty, I just learned braised eel, would you like to try it?"
"Here comes the freshly baked tenderloin!"
"Your Majesty, can you help me find a few cold dishes?"
The witches greeted them in a constant stream, and it was clear that cooking food was no less fun for them than watching a movie or going out.
It's a pity that the dream world can't let them stay here permanently - looking at the lively scene on the second floor, Roland can't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, after learning the news of Elena's death, he has entered the dream world many times, hoping to see each other here again, but neither the warehouse nor the tube building has changed because of this.
This means that sooner or later they will have to say goodbye to this place.
Whether it is because of the war or his passing as an ordinary person, it will cause all these experiences to become untouchable memories.
Probably because of this, they cherish every time they enter the dream world.
Maybe...... He should also sleep more often, even if it is not to relieve stress, as long as he can let them stay here a little longer, it is worth it.
"Jingle Bell—"
At this moment, a crisp wind chime came from the first floor.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
"Your Majesty, a guest is coming. Phyllis reminded.
No, could it be that the compromiser's reaction was so quick that the café had just opened?" he glanced at the crowd, "Do what you planned." Then he walked downstairs with Phyllis - among these ancient witches, only 76, who had been lurking in the "black money" for a while, had experience in serving others.
"There's no one at the bar, your purpose in opening this shop is really to provide a job for the villagers in the village?"
The visitor clasped his hands on his chest, frowned slightly, and stared at Roland suspiciously. For a moment, he felt the other's gaze focus on his cheek and collar twice.
The "guest" is none other than Garcia.
Roland breathed a sigh of relief, the other party had long known about the opening of the café, and was able to smoothly hand over to the previous tenant, including the assistance of this star martial artist. He nodded at Phyllis, "Two cups of coffee." Then he made a gesture to Garcia, "Of course, it has always been my goal to let them out of the village. ”
"Wait, I'm not going to drink—"
"I ask you, don't take money. ”
Garcia sat down, "Anyway, the price you hang outside is too exaggerated, it's really hard to believe the real purpose of your store." ”
"You're wrong," Roland pretended to be sincere, "from the country to the big city, the most important thing is to adapt. If the guests flock to the place, do you think they will be able to work with peace of mind? It doesn't matter if I don't make money, the key is to give them a space to adapt to life in a big city, and that's what Rose Cafe is all about. ”
"Yes...... Is that so?" she said half-incredulously.
"Of course. I would also like to thank you for the invitation you gave me last time, it was really helpful. Roland took the opportunity to change the subject.
"Identity problem solved?"
"Not only that, the school is arranged, it is the same as Jieluo, but they are in the high school. He laughed, "Those three people have always wanted to thank you in person." ”
"It's good to be helpful...... Garcia's expression softened a lot, "There's no need to say thank you or anything, after all, it's all your hard work - I didn't choose to stand up after all in order not to leave an excuse for my father and the media." ”
Roland shook his head, "It's enough to be able to do this. ”
There was a moment of silence between the two.
"Coffee is here, please use it slowly. Phyllis's voice broke the ice.
Garcia came back to her senses, as if trying to hide something, and lowered her head and picked up her glass. "By the way, I have something to tell you. ”
"Something to do with the Martial Arts Association?" Roland was not surprised, after all, the other party was not the kind of idler who would come to the door if he had nothing to do.
She nodded, "That's right, there is a task assigned to you, and you are designated to participate." ”
"I heard that the qualifiers for the new martial arts tournament are about to begin, right? ”
"No...... It was a joint extermination mission. Garcia said.
