The official opening time is at two o'clock in the afternoon. Although it will be postponed to four o'clock in the afternoon from Monday to Friday, on Saturdays, Japanese students only need to attend half-day classes, and the time after noon is quite generous, so the store will be opened on Saturdays.
The time is two o'clock in the afternoon, and the opening time on Sundays is twelve o'clock at noon. Because he didn't know if there would be customers who would like to spend noon in the coffee shop, the store manager tentatively made this opening time arrangement.
It's just that the work on Sundays from now on will have nothing to do with Xia Zhi.
There's still an hour left before opening hours, so there's not much that can be done, just a little cleaning.
In Japan, cleaning is actually not a very time-consuming task, especially in the catering industry, which is much better than other industries. Some people may retort that Japan’s hygiene requirements for the catering industry are somewhat crazy, but cleaning is not
A simple thing. It is also true. But the hygiene level of a store that can operate calmly under such high standards will never be low.
When it comes to food, the Japanese are both bold and cautious. Before the diversity and complexity of Chinese cuisine was known to the world, the Japanese had already eaten the highly poisonous pufferfish. The poison of pufferfish was well-known in the past.
If there is no effective medical treatment, it can be said that if you are exposed to it, you will die, and there is no specific antidote for puffer fish poison so far. Except for gastric lavage in the hospital, which can ensure a certain survival rate, there is no other effective treatment method.
.
Although the Chinese are known to eat everything, this is mainly reflected in the diversity of food. Many brave people should have eaten puffer fish, but if they eat it desperately, I am afraid it cannot compare to Japan. So I gave
What makes the Japanese so confident is their perverted requirements for food hygiene.
In addition to very basic things like washing a plate five or six times that you often hear and see, there are also many particularly strict regulations, such as the need to have a fugu cooking certificate to cook fugu dishes. Such bold behavior
Above all, it is a harsh execution environment, and this environment undoubtedly gives them greater courage and confidence.
In such an environment, basic things like cleanliness and sanitation are the key to the life of the store. Under high pressure, the store can always maintain a considerable level of tidiness. And it may be easier to keep it tidy than cleaning it from time to time.
Some.
Moreover, compared to genuine restaurants, the cleaning work in cafes is easier. After all, compared to restaurants that focus on food, snacks and drinks are the main products of cafes, so there are relatively few oils and the like, even if there are mistakes
Even if things like knocking things over happen, it’s not very difficult to clean.
Xia Zhi also thought about whether to open a coffee shop in China in the future. Now that he has some experience, he thinks that elementary school students rarely come to this kind of shop. Junior high school students don't have much pocket money, and high school students basically don't have time to rest.
All gone. People in society are busy trying to make money... There are so many things. Perhaps only college students can become a relatively stable customer group, but for things like college students, you can't tell what they want to do sometimes...
Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I come here to order a cup of coffee and sit there for a long time, just like a kobold. I can refill twenty cups and gain some courage. But Xia Zhi doesn't think that is considered courage.
It’s also possible that a group of geeks will come to your store to rest, in groups. Recently I’ve seen a lot of news about cosplay enthusiasts doing their own thing unscrupulously in other people’s stores.
Yeah, if something like that really happened, I wouldn’t even have time to cry.
It is not very realistic to open a coffee shop in China. Xia Zhi came to the conclusion.
I scratched the tabletop with my finger and checked. There was no dust or anything like that attached to my finger. It was as clean as ever. But this doesn't mean it doesn't need to be cleaned.
Xia Zhi shook the bottle of cleaning fluid in his hand, then sprayed it on the table, spread out the rag, and wiped it vigorously. It was like dividing the table into horizontal wooden boards, so Xia Zhi wiped the table horizontally.
This is the method that the store manager taught him. He can wipe off the dust on the table. Occasionally, if something falls on the ground, he can just use a mop to clean it all up.
Working in an orderly manner, because there were not many tables, Xia Zhi finished wiping them quickly. Then he put on the feather duster and gently swept it on the sofa to remove the dust left behind by wiping the table. Finally, he used a mop
Just mop the ground once and that's it.
Although there is another part-time worker in the shop, Mayumi's working hours are only two hours from 4 to 6 pm every day from Monday to Saturday, and Natsuki has to look after the cafe alone until four o'clock.
Although it is indeed a bit overwhelming for one person, there are not many guests, so it should be enough to last for two hours.
While mopping the floor, the wind chime on the door rang, and the store door was opened.
"I'm sorry, guest, we haven't started yet... What, it's you..."
Without thinking, Tachibana Aya came here with nothing to do. She also had a bag on her shoulder today. It was a large-capacity one. Xia Zhi had seen it before. This was the bag she used to carry her laptop. Also.
That is to say, is she going to write a manuscript in the store today?
"Last time I specifically asked the store manager about the opening hours, and I actually met you when I came here today."
Tachibana Aya had an "I'm so smart" expression. Natsuki looked at the clock on the wall suspiciously.
"It's at least half an hour before the business starts, right? What are you doing here?"
"Ah, because it was too boring to stay in the apartment, so I came out."
This simple and crude logic of "you need to drink water because you are thirsty" is really impeccable.
"Even if you come here now, I'm not going to open the store early. Why are you here so early? If there's no one in the store, you still have to go back."
"If there is no one, I might wait until it opens. After all, I don't like the feeling of returning without success."
"Your logic is really crude."
"Xia Zhijun, I want a glass of juice."
"Didn't I just say that I won't open early?"
"I didn't order, I just wanted a glass of juice."
"Aren't you going too far?"
Saying this, Natsuki still poured a glass of juice for Tachibana Aya.
"Hey, it's apple juice. Let's change it to a glass. I don't like this, it's sour."
"Don't leave quickly."
He also kicked his nose and hit his face.
"Just kidding." She took the apple juice with both hands and sat down in front of the counter. "It's really comfortable and cool."
"Nonsense. Just poured it out of the refrigerator."
Natsuki took the placed mop and continued to clean, while Tachibana Aya sat there and looked at Natsuki who was cleaning.
"By the way, are you the only one today?"
"The store manager has gone to the zoo. Mayumi won't be here until four in the afternoon."
"oh oh."
She took a piece of paper and wrote it down. Xia Zhi originally wanted to ask her what she was doing, but suddenly remembered that this guy was actually a very popular light novel writer. This kind of gathering activity had been going on for several days, and there was nothing interesting about it.
That's right. Even if he stopped her, it would be of no use, so Xia Zhi didn't bother to do anything.
After all, this is just a source material, and it’s impossible for a real name to appear in a novel, right? Moreover, it’s pretty cool to think that a well-known writer actually used it as a source of information, isn’t it?
Even if you lose in reality, it's no big deal, as long as you win mentally. When he can't fight, Xia Zhi still likes this sentence.
"Hey, Xia Zhi, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Ah? What are you asking all of a sudden?"
"I asked you if you have a girlfriend."
"Is this the point I'm talking about!? But forget it...you are probably this kind of person."
"What you say is really strange. Of course I am the kind of person I am."
What's this weird feeling of knowing exactly which program you belong to?
"So, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, how could it be possible? Are you going to say the next sentence, then you have it now."
"Hey, what. That's disgusting. Are you this kind of person?"
I……
Xia Zhi wanted to hit someone.
Peace of mind, peace of mind.
Keep cleaning.
"But I don't have a girlfriend. It's so pitiful."
"Aren't you a single dog yourself?"
"I'm not single."
What!? Does anyone actually want this woman? Xia Xing felt incredible.
"My wife can't count them on two hands."
"Why don't you go to heaven?"
Probably, it's just that kind of paper figurine wife and so on. It's really not that unusual to have dozens or hundreds of them.
"Oh, by the way. Xia Zhi, I heard that high school students in China are not allowed to fall in love. Is this true?"
"real."
That can be summed up in just one sentence: not allowed to fall in love. In some crazy schools, boys and girls are not allowed to sit together even when eating in the cafeteria. If a teacher sees each other exchanging a few words in class, they may be called
If you go to the office to talk, the danger involved cannot be summed up in one sentence.
Xia Zhi still remembers that when he was in the first year of high school, a classmate in the class went to ask the class monitor a question. The classmate next to him was making trouble and said "Oh~" in a weird way, which happened to be seen by the class teacher. That afternoon, the boy's parents
When he arrived at school, he was so aggrieved that he almost cried. From then on, he never went to any girl to ask questions.
It's really pitiful... I'm afraid it will leave a psychological shadow for the rest of my life.
"Oh~ We go to school six days a week from morning to night, no dating allowed, no extracurricular activities, and physical education classes are replaced by cultural classes. You are truly Chinese."
"Why do I hear a strong sense of sarcasm in your tone?"
"Hahahahaha...you think too much."
She turned away guiltily.
Sure enough, this person was just looking for trouble.
