A street in the XC district of Shengyue City.

There is a coffee shop with a rather strange decoration style, which claims to be 500 years old, but as we all know, the Holy Moon City has only been established for 200 years, and it has been rebuilt for less than 20 years.

The coffee in the coffee shop tastes average, and there are few repeat customers.

The only thing that's remarkable is that the coffee shop is quiet.

Of course, the reason for the quietness may be due to the fact that there are fewer guests.

Successfully persuaded Dean Harris to choose this café as a temporary base, using the mayor's son and the dean's daughter as bait.

"Three cups of iced American, one cup of hot Chinese!"

Link arrives at the ordering counter, orders three cups of coffee for his three teammates, and then asks for a hot Chinese dish for himself.

"Hot Chinese?"

The sleepy little brother on the ordering table glanced up at Link curiously, and saw that it was a face with black hair and black eyes, and immediately came to his senses.

"Hello, are you sure you want a hot Chinese style?"

"That's right!" Link nodded affirmatively.

"Hot Chinese style is the hidden drink of our store, the customer must be knowledgeable, this drink is only made by our boss, is it convenient for the customer to move to the backstage?" The order brother greeted him very warmly.

"I'm here for the boss's craft."

Link nodded, asking the three teammates to find a seat and wait, while he himself followed the little brother into the backstage.

"My Brother Lin is still a person who understands coffee, I admire it!"

Link's newly acquired little brother Rosen, when he heard the conversation between Link and the ordering brother, he immediately showed admiration.

"He knows coffee? Isn't my brother the least likely to drink coffee? Lynn wondered.

Miss Si Ning glanced backstage and said, "He ordered himself a hot Chinese style, and a hot Chinese style is not coffee." ”

"What's that?" The two Hanhan spoke at the same time.

"Hot soy milk!"

"Hot soy milk?"

"That thing is very technical? Need a hands-on boss? ”

The two of them were full of question marks.

······

Backstage at the coffee shop, the ordering guy took Link to an office.

knocked on the door and said, "Boss, a guest has ordered a cup of hot Chinese style." ”

"Let the guests in." An easy-going voice came from inside the door.

"Guest, please."

The orderer pushed open the door, stood to the side, and when the guests entered the room, he closed the door from the outside.

The room was empty and simple, with few furnishings other than the necessary desk and chairs.

The boss is a young man in his twenties, and he can't see through it, but he doesn't feel very high.

was leisurely sipping tea, and seeing that the guest was a teenager, he didn't show much surprise and motioned to sit down at the table.

"Boss, I heard you have immortal coffee here?"

"There is no immortal coffee, and there is a cup of tea that does not cost money."

The young boss stared at him and poured Link a cup of tea.

Link raised his glass and took a sip, nodded, and praised: "This cup of green tea is very different, traveling all over the world and all over the world, the apprentice had drunk it that day, who knew that we met again today." ”

The boss smiled slightly, "Where do the guests come from?" ”

"From the East."

"What proof is that?"

"There are poems to prove it!"

"What do you say about poetry?"

"Sanqing Hall outside the Tianzun, nine knocks on the mountain gate to thank the teacher, a sword volley down the mountain, swear to prove the world with my way!"

The boss got up and bowed to the east, and read: "The weather is swinging, and my road is prosperous!" ”

After the bow, he bowed to Link again.

"Nian Yi junior brother."

"Senior Brother Gu Yue!"

Link stood up and saluted back.

"Finally waiting for you, junior brother... However, I am not Senior Brother Gu Yue, but Senior Brother Hu. ”

Link was stunned, did he find the wrong person?

"Isn't it Senior Brother Gu Yue?"

The young boss smiled awkwardly and explained, "The handwriting may have been a little sloppy when I first registered!" ”

Got it!

Link smiled slightly, "Senior Brother Hu." ”

With a warm smile on his face, the young boss once again refilled the tea for Link and praised, "It's rare that there are still young disciples who would choose this kind of difficult and remote area. ”

"Although there is a saying in the door that 'the examination is not in a different place, and the test is not in a different place, and I will not go abroad in a different place', but my brother and I are here, so I will naturally come, and my brother has been waiting for a long time!"

"Eh..."

Senior Brother Hu sighed, "This place was originally going to be withdrawn to Shenglan City, and it was just a springboard for Senior Brother, in fact, it doesn't matter if you come or not. ”

"Hehe, the procedure that should be taken still has to be followed." Link replied earnestly.

"Yes."

Senior Brother Hu nodded, and without saying too much to greet, he pulled open the desk in the office and took out a tablet and a jade plate from it.

"Briefly hand over to you, this stronghold is directly under the Sword Sect's office in Xingluo, with two staff, but in the past three years, there is only one senior brother and me, three regular workers and four part-time employees on the periphery."

"There are two main tasks: one is to collect information about the surrounding treasures; The second is to take care of the disciples who occasionally pass by here to practice, and the rest are free to play. ”

"The sect only provides a part of the work funds, and the rest is self-raised, in short, the main thing is to operate independently, take responsibility for its own profits and losses, and fully test the comprehensive quality of the disciples."

Senior Brother Hu smiled bitterly, and complained to Link Ke helplessly: "To put it bluntly, this is a place for a cheating father, it is said that it is a mess left over from the disorderly expansion of the sect back then, if it wasn't for the confusion in the retreat of the sect and wanted to come out and walk, Senior Brother I would not have come to this kind of place." ”

Link very much agrees that the Sword Sect's basic base is in the Heavenly Wind Divine Prefecture, and establishing a stronghold in a small city on the edge of the far west is a complete waste of manpower, material and financial resources, and it should have been put in order a long time ago.

"Because it is going to be withdrawn and merged, most of the family businesses purchased by the previously stationed disciples have been sold one after another, and the only thing that can be left for the junior disciples is this coffee shop, plus ten rooms on two floors upstairs."

"Senior brother, I'm not good at running it, and this coffee shop is also able to break even... The junior brother will look at it and dispose of it himself. ”

Senior Brother Hu said, pushing the tablet and jade plate on the table in front of Link, "All the historical records of the stronghold here are in it, and the jade plate is proof of identity." ”

Link picked up the jade card and played with it, it was a superb jade in the mortal world, but in the eyes of these immortal cultivators, it was naturally just an ordinary thing.

The real value is the several formations depicted in the jade plate, the identity symbol of the official disciples of the Sword Sect.

"From now on, you'll be the owner of this shop."

Subsequently, Senior Brother Hu called in the three regular employees outside and introduced them to their new boss.

The ordering brother and store manager, the barista and assistant store manager, and the chef and manager.

A small coffee shop, it's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, all of them are multi-talented.

Link took over a coffee shop like this.

After getting to know the new boss of the three coffee shops, Senior Brother Hu gave up the main seat of the office and sat aside, feeling relaxed.

"Is there anything else I want to know about Senior Brother Nianyi?"

"When is Senior Brother going to leave?"

"Tonight at the earliest, tomorrow morning at the latest."

In this kind of remote ravine, Senior Brother Hu obviously didn't want to stay for a moment, his eyes were full of impatience to leave, even if he had been silently reciting the top meditation tips of the Immortal Gate.

"Last question, what news does Senior Brother have about the five recent fires in Holy Moon City? Who's doing it? ”

"I know a little bit about that."

Senior Brother Hu raised his eyebrows, "Looking at the actions of the city hall, it should be suspected that the ghosts of otherworldly creatures are doing it, they are in the right direction, but not all of them." ”

"Huh?"

"The fire three days ago, I quietly went over to look at it, and used some small spells to trace the source, and probably saw some blurred images before the fire... Then I quietly traced it, hehe, some unexpected gains. ”

Senior Brother Hu pinched his hands, and a golden light shot into Link's sea of knowledge.

Link closed his eyes and looked at the image in the sea of knowledge, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

"Senior brother, this matter seems to be very deep, I suggest you don't be too curious."

"The bigger the wind and waves, the bigger the fish!" Link replied.

Senior Brother Hu still reminded in friendship: "This Holy Moon Island has been surging recently, and I always feel that something bad is going to happen, the monk is not standing under the dangerous wall, and the junior brother is still ready to run away as soon as possible." ”

"Senior brother, goodbye in the sect!"

"Senior brother, take care!"

Link left the office and returned to the store, back to the three teammates.

"Brother Lin, are you familiar with the owner of this shop? Why didn't you go in for a long time, they served us a lot of food and drink······"

Lawson stuffed a piece of dessert into his mouth, slurred a little, and then commented: "The food is okay, it's just this coffee." ”

"Hehe..."

Link beckoned to the ordering brother, who was the store manager, and the ordering brother walked over quickly.

"Boss, what do you command?"

"In the future, whoever comes here for the four of us to spend will be recorded in this guest's account, and it will be discounted by 12 percent!"

"Okay, boss!"

The ordering brother glanced at the big injustice and smiled slightly, and returned to the ordering table.

"What did he call you?"

"Boss?"

"What boss?"

The three pairs looked at Link with puzzled eyes.

Link clasped his hands to his chest and smiled smugly, "I'm sorry, I just went to talk about a business, and now I'm the owner of this shop!" ”

"Hold the grass!"

"Brother, where did you get the money?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, hurry up and eat, we still have business to do when we're full!"

Link stuffed a plate of greasy junk food to old brother Lynn and said, "Anyway, this place will be our field base from now on." ”

"Wow! Brother Lin, since you are the boss here, why do you still make me pay! Rosen raised his doubts.

"That's why I can be the boss!"

Link patted Rosen's shoulder and said with a smile: "I haven't heard a proverb in the East: Half of the raw customers are slaughtered, and the acquaintances are slammed, and letting you pay the bill at least means that I have treated you as my own." ”

"Thank you!"

Lawson suddenly cried with a sad face, feeling that he was a pure resentment.

But as the young master of the mayor's family, he doesn't care too much about some money.

Si Ning sat quietly on the side, retracting her gaze to look at the backstage, before she sensed the aura of the immortal cultivator, and asked in a low voice, "Are there people in the same way?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Link nodded silently, "It's still the same door, but he's going back to the mountain, so I'll take over here!" ”

The eldest lady looked really good, elegantly picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, and asked, "Next, where to go?" ”。

"Deliver food."

Link raised his glass and took a sip of coffee, a sneer on his lips.
