Chapter 156: Shute's Cafe
This year is an extraordinary year for Yang Fan, because this year has given him a lot of firsts.
For example, the first time I tried to write a book, the first time I fought for life and people, and today, the first time I spent Christmas.
"Yang Fan, are you on the wrong path?" Lan was wearing a festive red cotton jacket and led Lin Wanting, looking at Yang Fan with a puzzled expression.
"There shouldn't be a mistake..."Yang Fan said uncertainly.
"But why is it so deserted here? Lan looked at the empty café in the glass on the side of the street with a little disgust and said, after all, Lan has always felt that the number of customers represents the level of deliciousness.
"It's strange that I wasn't like that when I came before. But I can guarantee that the Western food here is delicious!" Yang Fan said as he pushed open the door and walked in.
Because of yesterday's agreement, this morning Yang Fan took the two little ones to a nearby amusement park to play crazy until the evening.
Hungry, they shouted that Lan wanted to eat steak, so they went to find a circle of western restaurants with steaks nearby, only to find that every western restaurant was overcrowded.
Under Lan's aggrieved eyes, he remembered that he had been to Shute's café before, and they came to this café with the attitude of trying their luck.
It's just that unlike when Yang Fan first came, the Shute Cafe, which was originally full of luxury and high-end prosperity in his heart, now gave him a feeling of decay and decay.
"Is there anyone?" Yang Fan shouted as he looked at the bar.
"Didn't you see the sign outside the gate that was closed?" Hearing Yang Fan's voice, a fat man came out of the back kitchen and said loudly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see that. Yang Fan listened to the fat man's words, and looked at Lan with guilty eyes after apologizing.
"Who is it? As if because the fat man and Yang Fan's voice was too loud, they quarreled with the woman who was sleeping on the sofa on the side, she opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Yang Fan, and then she said in surprise:
"It's you Yang Fan! Long time no see! Merry Christmas! Why are you here today?"
"yes, long time no see. Merry Christmas!" Yang Fan looked at this beautiful woman, thought of the past, and couldn't help but swallow nervously and said: "The main family wanted to eat steak, so I brought them here, but I didn't expect your coffee shop to be temporarily closed, I'm sorry." ”
"Why is there a temporary closure, Wang Fatty, do you hear? There are customers who want to eat steak, why don't you hurry up and make steak!" The beautiful woman looked at Wang Fatzi and urged, and then she looked at Lan and Lin Wanting, who were dressed exquisitely beside Yang Fan, and then asked: "How cooked is the steak? Is this your family? sister? It's so cute!"
"Medium-rare... Well, they're all my sisters, and they're all my important family members. Yang Fan looked at the two little guys dotingly and said.
"Don't do it!" After listening to the woman's words, Wang Fatzi not only did not act, but looked at Yang Fan fiercely.
"If you are told to go, you will go!" the woman said fiercely after listening to the words of the fat man.
In the woman's angry words, Wang Fatzi reluctantly walked into the back kitchen, but when he left, he couldn't help but whisper: "If it weren't for this kid named Yang Fan, Shute Coffee Shop wouldn't have fallen to such a point." ”
"Great writer, how is your writing?" The woman watched Wang Fatzi walk into the kitchen, and then walked in front of Yang Fan and said.
"I'm halfway to the goal of my book... It's okay to write..."Yang Fan looked at the ** woman in front of him, and took a few steps back in a panic.
"Then it proves that you can win the bet, great writer, that's great, it seems that you can be my boyfriend according to the agreement!" Seeing Yang Fan's shy appearance, the woman couldn't help but get playful and stepped forward to continue.
"You don't have to be a boyfriend, right... That's right... Why is your café temporarily closed..."Yang Fan heard the sound of his heart beating faster, so he quickly changed the topic and asked.
When the woman heard this question, her original playful mood instantly became depressed.
"Because, I'm not good at business. The woman smiled wryly and continued: "Actually, this coffee shop has been losing money since the beginning of its business, because both our coffee and ingredients are genuine. ”
"Isn't it really good?" Lan on the side said with an unkind face, since she saw this woman, she felt inexplicably irritable, especially the sentence that seemed that you could be my boyfriend according to the agreement, which put her on the verge of exploding.
It's just that she desperately held back, because Lan felt that she wanted to give Yang Fan face.
"Genuine goods mean that the cost of your ingredients is high, and the high cost of ingredients means that your price is also high. The woman looked at Lan, who looked very cute because of the bulging air, and couldn't help but walk up to her and look at her patiently and continued: "When your price is much higher than other coffee shops in the same environment, naturally, customers will choose other stores." ”
"Why are other people's prices so cheap?" Lin Wanting asked curiously.
"Because they use inferior materials that have similar tastes but are much lower in quality and price. After all, most people who come to coffee shops are just drinking the mood. The woman said this with a helpless face.
"Since everyone uses it, you can also use inferior materials. The taste is pretty much the same anyway. Hearing the woman's helpless explanation, Lan said as a matter of course.
After all, everyone is selling fakes.
"You don't understand! It's a mouthful. We are responsible for our customers. This is the insistence that every professional in catering should have!" Wang Fatzi, who came out of the back kitchen, said righteously with a steak on the table.
"Don't believe it, come and taste the difference between the steak I made and other restaurants!" said Fat Wang, looking at Lan.
"Don't be so fierce, she's still a child!" Seeing Wang Fatzi's emotional appearance, the woman said gently.
Lan closed his mouth in amusement, picked up the knife and fork, cut the steak, and forked a small piece into his mouth.
When the beef entered Lan's mouth, she suddenly felt her taste buds flooded with various flavors. The wonderful taste made her can't help but speed up the cutting speed of the knife and fork in her hand, and put the meat into her mouth piece by piece.
This urge was the first time she had appeared, and as she gobbled it up, the huge steak in front of her was eaten.
"Is it really so delicious?" Yang Fan was also aroused by Lan's gobbling up his appetite, and looked at the steak in front of him and ate it.
Then, like Lan, he couldn't stop his hands and mouth at all, and all he had in his eyes was the steak in front of him.
"See, this is the charm of good ingredients!" Looking at Yang Fan and their appearance, Wang Fatzi said proudly!
"I'm sorry, it's so delicious. Lan looked at Wang Fatzi and sincerely apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay. Wang Fatzi looked at the sincere appearance of the little girl in front of him, and felt that what he said just now was a bit heavy.
Then, he still looked at Yang Fan and snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Yang Fan and his party, who were satisfied after eating the steak, were very supportive of women's attitudes.
And because of the charm of food, Lan also began to ease his attitude towards women.
In addition, everyone began to take the initiative to contribute to the revival of Shute Cafe.
The woman held a pen and carefully recorded all the good ideas that Yang Fan could think of about business. Slowly, her originally depressed heart became cheerful, and Wang Fatzi was also attracted by those whimsical ideas, and his opinion of Yang Fan changed.
In this way, Yang Fan's first Christmas was spent in a coffee shop on the verge of closure.
When the bell rang at 12 o'clock, Yang Fan and his party finally left reluctantly.
When the backs of Yang Fan and his party disappeared at the end of the street, Wang Fatzi said to the woman: "Actually, no matter what method is used, as long as we don't solve that hidden danger, our café will still be on the verge of closure." ”
"Yes, but, at least, it's a good start, isn't it?" the woman said with a smile as she looked at Wang Fatzi.
In fact, the Shute coffee shop is on the verge of closure, not just because the woman is not doing well, although she sells real things and the price is higher than others, but she still makes money in the end, but not much.
The real hidden danger is actually because of the agreement between Yang Fan and his high school classmates last time.
Since this woman supported Yang Fan in public, every time her store opened, there would be more unemployed people with three teachings and nine streams.
They will always be the first to walk into the coffee shop, and then each person will occupy several seats, order the cheapest cup of coffee, and sit for a day.
Because of their hooliganism, the number of customers in the store began to decrease.
No matter what methods a woman uses, including calling the police, it is of no use to these unemployed hooligans.
Not only that, but most coffee shops are open at night, and every night, a group of old ladies and grandfathers with loudspeaker radios will be fixed in the café and square dance.
It is precisely because of these constant harassments that the Schutte Cafe is slowly declining.
Originally, everyone thought that competitors had come up with this strategy in order to get rid of them. Later, it wasn't until I received a letter asking them to transfer the café that I learned that everything was because of a man, Li Zimu. He fell in love with this Shute coffee shop.
In order to get the Schute coffee shop at a low price, he kept coming up with this strategy.
It's just that he underestimated the strength and determination of a woman as opposed to her appearance. The more he is like this, the less the woman will transfer to him the shop that has been running for years and painstakingly.
By the way, Li Zimu also has a nickname, and that nickname is called: Big Head.
