02 Let's open it
That night, after the stall was closed, Xu Zheng mentioned the idea to Lucina and Carlo, and Carlo immediately agreed and asked everyone to discuss it. The participants include the members of the five-person team that brought Xu Zheng out of the vast forest, Lucina, Maika, and Xiao Banga, who came back with Maika, and Lulu, who had to eat heavily.
The proposal to open a new snack bar entered the discussion with Lucina's hesitation, and most of them agreed, even Lulu symbolically raised a large paw to vote in favor of seeing everyone raise their hands in favor.
Xu Zheng asked, "Aunt Lucina, don't you think it's good? In the future, the variety of snacks will definitely increase, and you can't always crowd on the side of the street, right?"
Lucina hesitated, "It's not that I don't think it's bad. I just feel that I will open another shop, and it is a snack bar, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of it. Mistress Rushel and I, and Mistress Barlow, have great confidence in the wine you are brewing, and once the wine is brewed, I am convinced that the crowds are like snacks, and it is unlikely that we will be able to take care of both sides. ”
"I'll come. Luki said. It seems that several other people have followed Xu Zheng to find a good way to make money, and she is still idle alone, so she is just looking for something to do.
"Are you okay?" the crowd looked at her with suspicion. This girl is good at everything, and it seems that she is less patient and gentle. No one wanted to see her with her sword and shield in front of her guests. When it comes to opening a store, this girl doesn't seem to be this material at all, and her temper is much more suitable for carrying a sword and shield combination to the battlefield to tear up or the adventure team to explore.
"What's the matter, don't believe me?" Lucy began to glare, threatening to draw her sword and jump onto the table.
"Why don't you ......," Carlo hesitated, "Shall I come?" ”
"Nope. Xu Zheng shook his head in disagreement: "I remember we talked about that the dream is to never give up." That doesn't fit your ideals. You and Rucy seem to be fit for the life of adventurers, and just because it's not going well now doesn't mean it's going to be the same in the future. Nest in the store, with your character, I'm afraid you won't be happy. ”
Lu Qi thought about it, it seemed to make sense, so she sat down, but she couldn't help but say, "No matter how much, anyway, give me a job that can earn money to do first." I'm a warrior, and my whole body is made up of money. ”
It seems that there is no suitable candidate. Everyone is annoyed again. At first, he proposed that Xu Zheng take care of it himself, but Xu Zheng's own virtue knows that he is born to be the kind of master who can't sit still, and the freshness of anything comes and goes quickly, and it is estimated that he will only feel fresh for a few days when he becomes the store manager. It doesn't seem appropriate to choose him.
There was silence.
"Uh...... That one. Hey......" Little Banga said timidly, "I want to try, can I?"
"You?" the crowd turned their eyes to Xiao Bangga.
"Hmm. Xiao Banga nodded and said, "I used to do some business with my grandfather, and I still know a little." And I like the feeling of opening a store, so that everyone can come happily and go happily, and then enjoy the store and keep it in my heart, which makes people feel very fulfilling. How about I try it, even though I'm a little young......"
Xu Zheng looked at Xiao Bangjia and fought for it with courage, and felt a little in his heart, and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about the feasibility of letting Xiao Bangjia run it.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiao Banga was a little flustered, but he still mustered up the courage and said: "Since I was a child, I have known that my physique is weak, and I am not suitable for learning combat skills, and the affinity of magic elements is poor, and I am not suitable for practicing magic. But since I was a child, I have worked hard with my grandfather to learn sake brewing, secretly learn business from people, deal with others, and how to run a business, and still know a little. Well, maybe I don't have the same lofty ideals of being a great warrior, or an adventurer, or a magician, but I just want to make good wine like my grandfather, open a happy little shop, and run my own happy business, and feel very happy. Do you think I can do it?"
"I'm for it!" McCa shouted. "And I want to be a clerk in Brother Banga's shop!"
The rest of the people asked each other with a smile, and then they all smiled and nodded.
Xu Zheng became excited, slapped his palm on the table, and laughed: "Okay." To live is to be happy. If you like being a store manager and think that this job makes you happy, then this is you!"
"Really?!" Xiao Bangjia was overjoyed, happiness seemed to come too suddenly, and he didn't think it was real, so he hurriedly asked: "Do you really think I can do it?" Remind you, I'm only fourteen years old. ”
Xu Zheng smiled: "It seems that I am only two years older than you." Besides, isn't it interesting for us to introduce a store manager who is the youngest in the imperial capital of Zion? I can guarantee that you are definitely the youngest store manager, which is an initiative that no one in the ancients has done later! We don't have to learn from others, right? When everyone thinks you are too young, we want to push you out to be the store manager, so that we can stand out from the crowd and stand alone, so that our snack bar is different. ”
Everyone was immediately happy, after Xu Zheng said this, they felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Xiao Bangjia being the store manager, and if you think about it deeply, it seems to be quite interesting.
Angel teased Little Banga and said, "Little store manager, what are you going to name your first store?"
"Wilderness Snack Bar!" called Xiaopan.
"Vulgar!" Lucy said unceremoniously. Taipan shrunk his neck, and the first thing that came to his mind was the name.
"Delicious snack bar?" said Angel tentatively, drawing the rolls of Ruki's eyes.
Xiao Bangjia said: "Imperial capital?" Everyone shook their heads.
Maika scratched her scalp and said, "It's delicious!" and everyone shuddered again.
Carlo slapped his thigh and said, "It's called the mercenary snack bar!"
Suddenly, the crowd rose with black lines all over their heads. Of all the proposals, this name is the worst. Sure enough, he is a mercenary who is used to it, and he does not leave his profession in three sentences......
Lu Qi and Xu Zheng glanced at each other, and Xu Zheng said cautiously: "How about a fate gathering? There is an old saying in my hometown that it is said that friends come from afar, and they are happy. It means how happy you are when a friend who is rarely seen from afar comes. ”
Everyone thought about it and thought it was a little interesting.
Luki said: "The meaning is good, but it is not very catchy to read." Xu Zheng nodded, the cultural background of the past and present lives is different, and the name Yuanju seems to be a little too sour.
All of the above was denied, and all eyes turned to the last two women. Lucy opened her mouth, and everyone waited with bated breath. Who knew that this woman said very neatly: "Don't look at me, I won't!"
She criticized everyone's proposals enough, and then simply said that she would not be named. A fierce woman is a fierce woman, and she is really not ordinarily strong. Everyone looked at her, speechless.
Lucina lowered her head and thought for a long time, and then she was a little embarrassed and tentatively said: "Is it okay to call it a silent night firefly?? I remember when I was a child, my favorite thing was to lie on the grass in the evening and watch the fireflies flying in the sky, so many small insects flying in the sky, and the little fluorescent light is like a small moving star in the night sky." Looking at them, it seems that even my heart is at peace, and at that time, I always feel that the most beautiful picture is the night sky with fireflies flying. Then I grew up, and I didn't have the leisure time to see the fireflies over the meadow on the hill. He sighed softly and said softly: "Looking back now, every night sky where fireflies fly is like a painting imprinted in my heart. When I think of them, I think of my girlish wishes. At that time, the desire was to open a small shop, not too big, and sell cheap and ordinary things. Although you don't need to be able to earn a lot of money, you just need to be able to support yourself. But it must be very cozy, it is easy to sit in it, there is no pressure, and it feels comfortable and comfortable. ”
Listening to Lucina's narration, everyone's heart floated to the beautiful scene of an innocent girl smiling and looking up at the sky full of cute little cute insects. Suddenly, a faint feeling of inexplicability grew in everyone's heart, and they couldn't help but smile, only to feel that their hearts were filled with a gentle sweet feeling in an instant. Luki let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's so beautiful! ”
Carlo looked at Lucina quietly, remembering when he was a child, he followed his sister to climb on top of the village haystack and accompanied her sister to watch fireflies. The girl who quietly supports the side smile and the boy who jumps on the haystack and shouts that he wants to be an adventurer when he grows up form a harmonious picture of movement and stillness. Now, both of them are no longer young, but suddenly a teenager wants to open a store, and he goes around and around and returns to his childhood dream, as if he has fulfilled a dream in a different way. Carlo looked at the crow's feet that were already faintly visible in the corners of Lucina's eyes, and his eyes softened more and more.
Xu Zheng took a deep breath, which also moved Lucina's description uncontrollably. As if afraid of breaking this beautiful feeling, Xu Zheng whispered: "Silent Night Firefly is an extremely beautiful name. But it sounds a little sad, why don't you call it a firefly? The same is true for snacks, which are cheap, you can eat and play, like fireflies, although they are small, they can also give people a good feeling. As he spoke, he had already made up his mind that he must reproduce the picture that Lucina had described.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Xu Zheng, and they couldn't decide whether it was better to call it a silent night firefly or a firefly. But the idea of a new snack shop was finalized and was waiting to be implemented.
PS:
Is it called a firefly or a silent firefly? I can't even decide on it......
This idea was proposed by a female friend close to me, who used to have a small wish to open a bookstore, read books, rent books and sell books by herself, and her name was Firefly. The story of the Silent Night Firefly is also what she told me. When I heard it, I felt so beautiful. After asking her, she embezzled it. Hehe.
