When Xia Zhi rushed back to the coffee shop, it was just less than 4:30 in the afternoon, and the total time wasted was less than half an hour. Instead, the store manager asked Xia Zhi with a surprised expression: "Didn't you say that something happened this afternoon?
Maybe you can’t come over?”
"Things have been resolved, so I came over."
Xia Zhi was not surprised that the store manager was here. He had said before that he might not be here today. Although there were no customers, it was still quite troublesome for Mayumi to be alone. She had to make coffee and cut cakes.
There was still cleaning and stuff. Although it was fine after I got used to it, the store manager didn't want to treat Mayumi like an outsider.
After all, in a sense, Natsuki seems not to be an outsider to the Murakami family.
"If you had come, you would have told me earlier...if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to come over."
"You are the store manager, don't always think about being lazy."
After giving him a lesson, Xia Zhi went to the staff room to change clothes. Mayumi was still working, so how could Xia Zhi start fishing directly. However, it seemed that someone was missing?
"By the way, where is Tachibana?" Natsuki turned around and asked while standing in front of the staff room.
"As for Ai-chan, she was kicked out by Mayumi because she was too annoying and went to take Xiaoxi for a walk. She should be back in a while, right? If you want to find her, you can give her a call or something."
"No, just wait for her to come back later."
Xia Zhi then walked into the staff room to change clothes. When he came out, Xia Zhi started working as a waiter in a more casual way. The store manager probably felt comfortable staying at the counter and had no intention of coming out.
.Although Xia Zhi is sure that if Tachibana Aya comes, he will probably give him any job immediately, their ideas have already been figured out by him.
The diligent Mayumi has probably finished most of the work that requires walking around. The only difference between Natsuki and the original one standing inside the counter is that there is no work to do. The store manager also has a thorough understanding of the counter.
"Why are you lazy here? If you don't hurry over and help Mayumi, believe it or not, I will fire you."
"I don't think Mayumi needs my help. Besides, your shabby shop doesn't have many customers, so it doesn't need my help at all."
"...No matter what, this is too much. I really want to fire you."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Natsuki laughed four times without emotion, and then continued to stand and watch Mayumi busy.
"I think you just have too much time. Why don't you go run errands and buy something for me? There aren't many ingredients for dinner anyway."
"It's gone? Is there anything else in the refrigerator?"
"There are only a few eggs left. I had a meal here at noon, so I remember it very clearly."
So doesn’t this mean that we have to go?
Xia Zhi sighed: "Is there anything you need to buy?"
"I don't have any myself, but if you can, bring back some condiments in addition to the ingredients. This is money."
"I'll be back in a little while."
Xia Zhi accepted the money generously. It was like a staff meal. The store manager would give enough budget. Although it was fine for Xia Zhi to buy it himself. Anyway, his salary was enough to afford it, but the store manager probably wouldn't.
Let Xia Zhi bear this part of the cost. It's not much anyway, and Xia Zhi is too lazy to say too much, so he might as well accept it openly.
And I can be considered a cheap labor force. Generally speaking, the salary for working four hours a day is not more than 2,000 yen. Although the store manager also wants to increase Xia Zhi’s salary, the business in this store is not particularly good, and the workload is
It wasn't much, and the store manager could handle it alone. However, Xia Zhi would never forget the kindness of hiring him.
Moreover, although it is true that the more money, the better, but for Xia Zhi, it is actually enough.
Originally there were not many requirements.
"Xia Zhi, are you going out again?"
"Go and run an errand for the store manager. Do you have anything you want to buy? If you see it, I can bring it back for you."
"I don't need it." Mayumi waved her hand.
"Okay then, see you later."
Natsuki left the coffee shop. The closest store where you can buy ingredients would take a lot of time from here, and Natsuki had to go back quickly. Walking towards the station, there is a
Shopping malls. Although the convenience store near Xia Zhi's house does have a lot of products that can be used as ingredients, but if you want to buy more comprehensively, you still have to go to a larger shopping mall.
However, one thing is strange. Xia Zhi has almost never seen the store manager bring ingredients to the store. In other words, Xia Zhi seems to have endless use of the items in the store, whether it is coffee beans or coffee.
Powder, or other drinks, fruits, etc. Xia Zhi only knows that there is such a thing, and there is no end to it.
It's probably because the replenishment time between myself and the store manager was completely different, which is very mysterious.
On the way there, Xia Zhi even met a regular customer of the store.
"Hey, Xia Zhijun?"
"Uncle Nakamura? Why are you here?"
The middle-aged man laughed cheerfully: "My family lives here. What are you doing here?"
"Running errands for the store manager, buying some ingredients and so on. But I've been here many times before, so why haven't I seen you?"
"I didn't have much work today, so I got off work early after finishing it all. This is the only good thing about our company, but the usual work is much more than today. I took advantage of getting off work early, and went to the store to have a cup of coffee before going back.
."
"I see."
Really busy adults.
"If you are going to buy ingredients, do you want to help get them?"
"Don't bother, I can just bring these things myself. You can go to the store first. The store manager has nothing to do now. Go and talk to him about not causing trouble to Mayumi."
"Hehehe, okay. I'll go over there first. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Xia Zhi said goodbye to the other party and was stopped again when he was about to turn around.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Xia Zhi, this is for you."
Uncle Nakamura handed over some coupon-like paper. Xia Zhi took it and took a look. It was a discount coupon. He looked at the discount coupon of the mall he was going to. This thing is basically very common in Japan. Many large and small malls cannot pass it.
How long will it take for people to distribute such discount coupons or similar coupons everywhere, giving back to customers while attracting more people to shop, and this is also one of the very important means for them to clean up the accumulated inventory, nature
It's similar to the clothing stores that have huge sales all year round, except that it's really affordable, and the discount fee is really not high.
Four discount coupons from four different stores.
"Uncle Nakamura, don't you use it?"
"We still have a lot of them at home. They won't be used in a day or two, and I don't have anything to buy, so I gave them to you. It's just a waste if you don't use them anyway."
"Then, thank you."
"It's okay, I'll tell that guy Murakami and take advantage of the discount. Hahahaha, I'll leave first then."
Was this the original purpose?
But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Anyway, although Uncle Nakamura often goes there, he doesn't actually order a lot. After all, he basically goes there at the time when he's about to eat. It doesn't matter.
Xia Zhi accepted the discount coupon and continued towards the destination.
Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance again...
"Eh? Senior Xia Zhi?"
Two girls who looked like junior high school students walked towards me. They were also regular customers who often hung out in the coffee shop.
"Good afternoon, you two."
"What are you going to do, Senior Xia Zhi? The store is in the opposite direction, right?"
"I'm going to the mall here to buy something, how about you?"
"Moli and I just came out of school after club activities and were about to go eat something delicious."
"Yeah. Among the shops in this area, that coffee shop is the only one with cheaper prices and delicious snacks."
"The store manager would probably be very happy if he heard this."
"Hehe. Oh, by the way, senior Xia Zhi, if you are going to the mall in front, I will give you this."
One of the two girls suddenly remembered something, and then took out two pieces of paper from her pocket. Xia Zhi thought they looked familiar...
"This is a discount coupon from that mall. It's about to expire and I won't be able to use it, so please take it and use it."
Xia Zhimo took out the four discount coupons he had just gotten from Uncle Murakami from his pocket.
"...Do you already have it? But the more of this kind of thing the better, I won't be able to use it anyway. Senior Xia Zhi, you can take it first, just think of it as a return gift for the discount you gave me before."
"Your calculation is too good...but I'll just accept it."
Xia Zhi took the two discount coupons.
"Hehe, let's go there first. See you later. Jasmine, let's go."
"Goodbye, Senior Xia Zhi."
"goodbye."
Discount coupon x6
It's time to move on.
Although to be honest, it is very likely that these discount coupons will not be used up in the end, Xia Zhi is still very satisfied with the current situation that makes him feel very popular. Xia Zhi is looking forward to meeting regular customers again and getting these for free.
80% of discount coupons will be wasted.
Then Xia Zhi actually met him.
"Xia Zhi!?"
"Meow!"
Why is this woman here?
Xia Zhi's eyes twitched as she looked at Tachibana Aya running from the side. She was still wearing her school uniform, but now she was holding a kitten in her hand. But Xia Zhi really didn't expect that this person and the cat would be here.
"You're back?"
"I just came back after finishing my work. Why are you here?"
"I'm taking Xiao Xi for a walk. I haven't been here much before, so I just came over here to have a look. Maybe I can find some interesting things. Ah, by the way, I'm in a board game store.
I bought something good."
Tachibana Aya picked up a paper bag that was placed on the left hand side but had been ignored by Xia Zhi. There was no decoration on the paper bag, it just looked like it was just there. Xia Zhi had no idea what was inside. Even if Tachibana Aya picked it up, it would still be the same.
Don't know anything.
"Let's talk about this later. Then what are you going to do now?"
"I'm getting ready to go back. I've finished my walk and bought all the things I wanted to buy. What about you?"
"I'm going to the mall to buy something and I'll go back later."
"Let's go together then?"
"You go to the cafe by yourself first. I go to the mall to buy ingredients, and it's not convenient for you to take Xiaoxi with you. It would be more efficient if I buy it by myself."
"Okay...why do I think you are hurting me?"
She is truly worthy of being so sharp in a place like this.
"Go back quickly."
"Then I'll go over there first. Oh, by the way, I have something for you in the left pocket of my coat."
Tachibana turned sideways and exposed the left pocket of her coat to Xia Zhi. She was holding the cat in one hand and carrying the paper bag in the other, obviously wanting Xia Zhi to do it on her own. Xia Zhi stretched out her hand.
"Although I may have guessed what you want to give me...but is there so much of it?"
There was nothing in Tachibana Aya's pocket, but Natsuki took it all out at once - four thousand yen, two five-hundred yen notes, and two or three coins. Apart from that, Natsuki
The discount coupons are already a bit familiar.
"It's true."
"Hmm? Do you already have one?"
"Someone gave me a lot of gifts. Where did you get these discount coupons?"
"Not far from here, at the corner of the park and street, there are many people giving this coupon, but this coupon can only be used in the past two or three days. Well, anyway, I don't even look at the price when I buy things.
I’ll give this to you. Put the money back in my pocket, thank you.”
"I advise you to look at the price."
You can't be so sexual even if you have money. She should be allowed to learn more from Shiraishi Rika, otherwise this woman will definitely lose her family fortune one day, although Xia Zhi feels that she is very likely to make a lot of money in ways she has never thought of.
pen, and then continue to live a decadent bourgeois life.
He took away all the discount coupons, folded the money and stuffed it into Tachibana Aya's pocket. In this way, there were already eight discount coupons in total, but this number seemed a bit strange...
Uncle Murakami gave four cards to himself. Two girls who were in junior high school gave two cards. Tachibana Aya had two cards here... Logically speaking, the two girls should have given four cards to themselves.
"What's going on? You'll get two?"
"What two? Oh, this. The person who gives out discount coupons will go over and hand out one if they see someone. When I was walking, I met him once on the street corner, and again when I passed by the park, so there are two
Zhang. If you still want, you can wander around, there are many people here posting this."
…It’s no different from handing out leaflets.
So Uncle Murakami actually met the person who issued discount coupons four times? He was really lucky.
"Okay, let's do this for now. I'm going to buy something, so you can go over first. Is there anything you want to eat?"
"As long as it's delicious, I can actually do it...and if you ask me what I want to eat, I can't even name a lot of things."
"Then I'll buy it myself. See you later."
"See you later."
After saying goodbye, Xia Zhi continued towards his destination.
