After Xia Zhi brought the snacks made by Shiraishi Reika to the table, these delicious snacks naturally received very good comments from the store manager and his family. Xiaoyao ate one after another with eyes shining.
The store manager himself was not there either. Only Sister Sayuri could make herself look normal, but Xia Zhi could also see that she really liked this snack.
Sure enough, humans have no way to resist sleepiness and appetite, which are the two ultimate desires of humans.
"This snack is really good. It seems that you are very lucky, Xia Zhi."
The store manager originally wanted to continue eating, but he saw that Xiaoyao was eating happily and there were not many snacks left, so he suppressed his appetite and talked to Xia Zhi.
"What kind of luck? If you can arrive early and get something delicious, you're really lucky."
Xia Zhi pretended to be stupid, but the store manager looked like he had seen through what he was pretending to be.
"Let's not talk about the rest. You will definitely pretend to be stupid anyway. When we were shopping outside, we saw a lot of coffee shops advertising, and many of them were quite interesting. I still thought it was so simple here.
Is it possible that there won’t be many guests coming by then? It seems like I’m overthinking it now.”
The store manager drank the coffee with a thoughtful expression on his face. The reason is also obvious. Wuhe has already said it once before. If you taste it alone, it is indeed a drink that can reach a relatively good level in ordinary coffee shops.
, but if you put it together with the delicious confectionery made by Shiraishi Reika, and compare it before and after, the drink will probably become a minus point.
But what can Xia Zhi do? He is also desperate.
"The smell is as familiar as ever. It seems that you are still the same in another place, which is a good thing."
"Why do you look like you suddenly want to make a big point?"
"Although I think it's pretty good, but when paired with dim sum, it still feels like it's missing something."
"I can't help it. This is technically the result of being beaten unilaterally."
Xia Zhi spread his hands.
"Really? I think it tastes pretty good. Right Sayuri?"
Sister Sayuri smiled and nodded.
"I think it tastes good too!" Xiaoyao raised her hand with the snacks in her hand, and then added: "The snacks are also delicious."
Sure enough, Xiaoyao's praise was much more useful than the store manager's comfort. Xia Zhi showed a less obvious happy expression.
"Coffee is a drink that gets better and better the more you drink it. You should understand it after being exposed to it for so long, right?"
"Of course. You don't have to think about comforting me. I don't feel depressed or anything like that. I still know very well what I can do and to what extent I can do it."
Everything about this family is good, whether it's temper or character. But what makes people feel a little embarrassed is that they seem to worry about others too easily. Maybe they know it, so they don't want this worry to become too obvious.
So it has become like this now, putting worries aside as a philosophy of life and talking to you. This nation is too middle-of-the-road.
"That's good. Do you want me to teach you some special moves or something? Usually in the King's Way comics, this time is the best time to improve your strength in one go."
"No need. Let's not talk about the special skills of making coffee or something. Even if such a thing exists, do you have it?"
Xia Zhi expressed doubts about this.
"Of course I do! Don't look down on people. Let me tell you secretly, if someone likes to drink sweet coffee, latte is actually not the best. You secretly add a little sugar to it, and then say it's from
Imported from abroad..."
"Isn't this completely a fraud?"
Is this really what a coffee shop owner should say? I thought you were just an unreliable and honest person, but I didn’t expect you are also a slave of capitalism.
But fortunately, he can always get the punishment he deserves in time.
"Dazhi, don't teach Xia Zhi these messy things."
"Hi~"
Sure enough, Sister Sayuri taught her a lesson. Just teaching the store manager a lesson was not enough. Sayuri felt that she should also get insurance.
"Xia Zhi, don't listen to what Dazhi says either."
"Well, don't worry, Sister Sayuri. I will never listen to him."
"Hello!"
The store manager had a premonition that he might not be able to control Xia Zhi in the future.
Although he felt that he couldn't control it now.
Since when did Xia Zhi become such a disobedient child?
"Well... the snacks are finished." Xiaoyao looked at the paper plate with the snacks on it and made a sound like she still wanted to eat.
"Are you eating too fast? You've already eaten a lot today. Don't eat..."
"Xia Zhi, how many more snacks are there? I want them all."
"It's okay. There are still a lot of snacks. If it's not enough, I'll ask my eldest sister to make them for you."
Xiaoyao automatically ignored her mother's voice, and her expression gradually brightened: "Really?"
"You two..." Sayuri said with a dumbfounded expression, "Just spoil her like this."
"Mom, is that okay?"
Although she has obtained the consent of her father and brother Xia Zhi, Xiaoyao, as a good child, will not forget to ask her mother for permission. However, most of the time, Sayuri, who usually plays a rational role, can only treat her daughter again and again.
It was just a compromise between the three places, and the result was already determined.
"Don't eat too much." Although the limit was given, Sayuri finally relented.
"Thank you, mom!" Xiaoyao smiled happily.
"Where's Dad!?" The store manager looked at his wife with envy, and the latter became even more dumbfounded.
"Thank you dad!"
"Hiss..." the store manager took a deep breath, and then looked at Xia Zhi, who was still standing next to him: "I may be the happiest person in the world. Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and get some snacks
Hand it over."
"Hey." Xia Zhi smacked his mouth and turned towards the counter: "Please get two more biscuits. Just open one and I'll let them take the other one home."
"Okay. I see you have such a good relationship, I'm really envious." Xiyuanji didn't hide his envy.
"After all, they are such a good family. Saionji, you should have someone you cherish, right? You don't have to be so envious."
Xia Zhi took the snack.
"My parents have always been busy at work, and they rarely go home for dinner recently." She sighed.
"But isn't it just to work hard so that you and your family can live a better life? Don't forget this."
Natsuki turned around and left, walking towards the store manager and his family. Saionji thought for a while and said to himself, "That's right." No one could hear him except himself.
Xia Zhi had just put the snacks on the table when another guest came outside the classroom.
"It should be here, right?"
What Xia Zhi heard were familiar words. He raised his head and looked at the door of the classroom. Before he could say a word of welcome, he could already clearly see who was coming. It was a person who knew Xia Zhi a little bit.
A different man in a black suit.
"Good afternoon, Uncle Nakamura."
"Ah, yes. Sure enough, it is here." He was a little happy after seeing Xia Zhi, but also wanted to complain. He was typing something with his mobile phone in his hand: "It's really hard to find you here. I've already
I've looked for three coffee shops, but couldn't find one. I forgot to ask Xia Zhi where your class is. By the way, isn't this Murakami? You bastard, didn't you say yesterday that if someone came first and found the location, they would be in the group?
Send me the address?"
The store manager glanced to the other side and whistled.
"It's so unreliable. Xiaoyao must never imitate your father in the future, you know?"
"Didn't I just forget a little bit?"
It's because Xiaoyao is still here that the store manager can be so excited, because he wants to maintain the image of a good father. Although he only thinks he can maintain this image, Xiaoyao is very smart, and maybe he has already seen through his old man.
The essence of dad.
"Uncle Nakamura, come here and rest first."
"Okay. I'm exhausted after walking for a long time. If I hadn't asked the students here if they knew where the class with Chinese international students was, I guess I would still be looking for it now." Uncle Nakamura sat down and said.
But Xia Zhi, it’s great that you are so famous in this school, so I just asked two girls who were visiting the school festival and found out your location.”
Xia Zhi always felt that he had met Rise and Itsuka, but he also felt that there shouldn't be so many coincidences in this world. Let's forget about it for now, anyway, they are just international students. Although they are rare in high school, they are not so rare in college.
Yes, very common.
"Do you need anything to drink?"
"Is there a normal one?" Only Xia Zhi or the store manager knows about this normal one. After all, they are regular customers.
“Because few people drink black coffee, I haven’t prepared the raw materials, but can I have Blue Mountain and juice?”
"Okay. I'm not particularly picky, just Blue Mountain."
Perhaps just because he is familiar with Natsuki, Uncle Nakamura's requirements are not high. If it were an ordinary store, even a good-tempered person would be disappointed because the store is not fully prepared.
"Want a snack?"
"Unfortunately, I'm not the type who likes snacks."
"The dim sum is very delicious, and the person who makes the dim sum is very good. Even if you don't want to eat it, Uncle Nakamura, you can buy one for Rina."
"Are you going to start killing your acquaintances now? I misjudged you, Xia Zhi." Uncle Nakamura joked.
"I'm not going to lie to you, this snack is quite delicious." Xia Zhi thought for a while and walked to Xiaoyao's side: "Xiaoyao, can you give me a cookie?"
"Okay." Xiaoyao handed a cookie to Xia Zhi and shouted to Uncle Nakamura: "Uncle Nakamura, the snacks are delicious."
Xia Zhi rubbed Xiaoyao's head with his other hand, then walked back: "You can try it first."
"Are you so confident?" Uncle Nakamura took the cookie with some doubts, then took a bite and chewed: "It seems... it's a bit delicious, and Rina also likes snacks. In this case, I will buy one.
Bar."
“If you don’t like it, don’t force yourself to buy it, just treat it as a free trial.”
"Then Natsuki, you are looking down on me too much. I won't pay for something I don't like. Even I think it's a pretty good snack. Rina will definitely like it. I'm not just doing it to cheer up.
"
"That would be great."
Xia Zhi walked back to the counter and prepared some coffee.
"Who is this person?"
"He is a regular customer of the store. He is an uncle with a good temper and interesting words."
"Oh." Xiyuanji understood: "Do you need to open the snacks?"
"No, that's it."
It takes a while to boil the water again. Uncle Nakamura and the store manager were talking over there. The content was nothing more than "Why didn't you send a message, you bastard?" "Why are you wearing a suit today?" "Has my daughter changed again?"
"It's so cute" and so on, it's the same chat mode with no theme at all.
When Xia Zhi walked up to Uncle Nakamura with coffee and snacks, he received a thank you. Xia Zhi nodded slightly, and everyone was used to it.
"By the way, Xia Zhi, there are a lot of people coming over later, and I think the space in your store is a little bit insufficient. Do you need more space?"
Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment: "How many?"
"I'm not sure exactly, because a lot of people seem to be bringing their families or friends over to take a look at the school festival, but there should be no less than twenty, right?" Uncle Nakamura flicked his cell phone: "That's it.
Judging from this point of view, Xia Zhi, you are really popular."
"Don't make fun of me, it's just because we all know each other, so I came here to show my appreciation or something. However, there are more than 20 people..." Xia Zhi looked around, and there were only more than ten seats in the classroom now.
If you move the location a little bit, you should be able to fit some more. If it is more, it will become more crowded. After all, the classroom is different from a serious coffee shop, and the space is only so big: "A little bit is not enough."
"If the layout is slightly changed, it should be able to accommodate it, but it seems to be quite crowded."
"I have an idea." Xia Zhi thought of how to change the layout: "Thank you, Uncle Nakamura."
"Little things, little things."
Xia Zhi took out his mobile phone and found Qingfeng's mobile phone number.
We have to call them back to work overtime.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems like there will be a lot of people coming later, so I'll ask Qingfeng and the others to come back and move their things."
"Are they all people I know?"
"Basically, right?" Xia Zhi was not sure: "But there should be quite a few. But they still have to go to school even if they don't work, right? Why are they so free?"
"...You know so many people."
Xia Zhi shook his head. He had to call Qingfeng and the others first. He hoped their mobile phones could get through, otherwise Xia Zhi would have to move alone.
"Speaking of Nakamura, aren't you supposed to be at work today? Why are you here?"
The store manager was a little curious.
"You also need a lunch break when you go to work."
"Did you go too far during your lunch break?"
"I can't help it. Who made me so bored?"
Uncle Nakamura drank his own coffee and chatted with the store manager.
