Cheng Ke didn't know when Jiang Yuduo contacted Xu Ding and how he said it. Jiang Yuduo didn't tell him, and he didn't plan to ask.
All I know is that Jiang Yuduo dragged Chen Qing back and forth for more than a month, and has already started to prepare for decoration.
He can feel that this is probably the first time Jiang Yuduo has grown up so big and has done such an impossible thing for himself. This matter is very important to Jiang Yuduo. .
In the eyes of his friends, it is also very important and full of expectations.
Cheng Ke hoped that he could open the store completely according to his own wishes and methods.
As for Cheng Ke himself, he is quite busy.
This month, the business of the theme restaurant has started to boom. Xu Ding has been urging him to find a new venue, and he has to make new plans, increase or decrease projects and so on.
There are also many private matters.
Jiang Yuduo didn't know what kind of psychology he was out of, he gave him a list of birthday gifts for three years, and he still had two years to think about, but these three have already made him very big.
I don't know what to do with sorghum wine, what kind of shit is a meow fur scarf, and how do I make a handmade vase
Cheng Ke had no clue, but he still started from what he could do.
Brush your cat every day.
Meow is a string, probably has long hair genes, every time you brush your hair, you can brush off a small fluffy hair ball, but the amount of a scarf... Cheng Ke took a closer look at Meow's hair, fortunately, although Meow has some miscellaneous hair, the overall For a white cat, the white wool should be similar.
After combing for a long time, all the cats fell asleep, and Cheng Ke stopped his hand. It felt like farming. It couldn't be harvested too hard, and there had to be some room for growth.
"I'm going out," Cheng Ke rubbed Miao's head. "Today, your third brother's shop is going to have decoration materials. I'll take a look."
Meow flicked his ears.
Cheng Ke called Huihui and asked if there was anything wrong there, then changed his clothes and went out.
He rested today and wanted to sleep at home, but he wanted to give Jiang Yuduo a surprise.
Although Jiang Yuduo doesn't have any special hobbies for those who are surprised or not.
He went out and took a taxi. Jiang Yuduo's store is a bit far. It is in the commercial plaza in the city center. The front door faces the street and the back door faces the newly opened shopping mall. The location is very good. Definitely not available in this store.
However, in order to fully make Jiang Yuduo feel that this store was independently run by him, Cheng Ke never visited it once.
Not to mention seeing Jiang Yuduo's store, he hasn't been here for a long time in the city center, and it feels like he's been here once or twice since he left home.
When I got out of the car, I felt a little unfamiliar.
Jiang Yuduo's shop is easy to find. On the side of the mall, there are a few small shops that are full of food, and many of them are still being renovated, but at a glance, there are several milk tea shops that have already opened for business within the past 20 meters. , there are all kinds of grilled wings and the like.
The traffic is quite large, and people come and go to eat and rest. Even if the three houses next to each other are milk tea, the parasols at the door are full.
Cheng Ke slowly walked past the door of each store.
The store is not big, except for the position of the bar counter, basically four small tables can be placed, so there are parasols at the entrance, almost full, and two or three tables can be placed in the mall by the back door, but At this time, many guests still prefer to sit under the parasol.
Milk tea, grilled wings, milk tea, decoration, milk tea, Chuanchuanxiang, decoration, milk tea, burgers, milk tea, decoration... There seems to be a lot of people in this decoration
When Cheng Ke stopped, he saw Chen Qing sitting under the umbrella at the door with a dark face.
Chen Qing was very surprised when he saw him, stood up, then glanced at the store again, and said hello in a loud voice: "Brother Ke? Why are you here?"
As soon as Cheng Ke heard the title, he immediately reacted. The few people standing in the store should have nothing to do with the decoration.
Chen Qing's "Brother Ke" is mainly to support the scene, showing that this store is supported by people from Brother X's generation. No matter what the background of Brother X is, it can also confuse people.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Ke asked.
"Those who want debts," Chen Qing sneered with his arms crossed, "the previous owner ran away before opening. These guys couldn't find the right owner, so they took our anger out."
"He ran on his front feet, and you started to do it with your back feet." A person came out, very unkind, as if there was a fucking word written in every fold, "Can you get over so quickly without any relationship?"
"What kind of place is this? Believe it or not, when we walked off the front feet and the heels were not lifted, someone picked up here?" Chen Qing said, "You don't have to talk about these unskilled words, you will know that you are not messing with the two. For heaven's sake, if you'd like to stick around here, I'm just taking a break."
"Then give it a try," he said.
"You are free," Chen Qing waved his hand, "just don't run for a while."
"Where's the third brother?" Cheng Ke took a look and found that Chen Qing was alone in the store at the moment, and the decoration materials had come in, but he didn't see the workers, so they probably drove them away.
"Let's go to dinner," Chen Qing said. "Sit down for a while, Dabin and the others will arrive in a while."
"... Before starting the decoration, you plan to solve it violently?" Cheng Ke asked.
"No violence," Chen Qing said, "according to your thinking, non-violence and non-cooperation, this group of people are not mixed, and playing Heng is either an opponent or an annoyance. It's been two days."
"He didn't tell me either." Cheng Ke sighed.
"We can solve this matter. Telling you is to add a little block." Chen Qing handed him a cigarette. "This is much easier to deal with than charging protection fees."
"Anyone here still collects protection fees?" Cheng Ke was a little surprised.
"No," Chen Qing glanced at him, "for example, are you stupid?"
"...Probably." Cheng Ke said.
A few people in the store just stood there, kicking the decoration materials from time to time. A bag of cement was kicked open and spilled on the ground.
Cheng Ke lit a cigarette and felt that these people couldn't make any movement for the time being, so he sat under the parasol and took a closer look at Jiang Yuduo's shop.
I heard that it was specially designed by someone, but I can't see any design at the moment, and I can see that the signboard that has been hung is a very simple black and white color scheme, which looks very cool.
There is a red cloth hanging on the signboard, and the name of the store can be vaguely seen.
Just one word.
Meow.
"Qing'er," Cheng Ke felt that he had probably read it wrong, and pointed to the signboard, "Is there just one word on it?"
"Well, just one word," Chen Qing nodded, took out his phone and opened the photo album, "I'll find it for you, I took a picture that day."
"Who thought of that?" Cheng Ke asked.
"Who else is there, third brother," Chen Qing handed the phone to him, "Look, it's cool."
On the black and white background, there is really a black and white meow character, next to a very cute cartoon cat pattern, only a head and a tail, at first glance it looks like a garlic head.
"Cool." Cheng Ke nodded.
"I feel that the third brother wants to commemorate the two of you... What... the beginning of fate," Chen Qing rubbed his arms after speaking, tsk tsk several times, "Ouch... I can't stand it."
Cheng Ke smiled and said nothing.
That's right, because Meow knew it
Jiang Yuduo was waiting for Chen Qing to help him dig out the cat. He kicked the trash can in the past, so he got acquainted.
Almost, it is better than saying that it is because of grabbing the trash can.
Thinking about it this way, he suddenly found that the events of that day seemed to have passed for a long time, and the mood at that time, the feeling when he saw Jiang Yuduo, became a little fuzzy.
Maybe the moment is too deep, and the memories will fade.
Maybe one day when everything stabilizes, and when they live peacefully, the past will slowly come back to memory, every detail is like a prophecy, and it will change in time. Gotta get intense.
A Land Rover drove over and parked in the parking space next to the parasol where Cheng Ke and Chen Qing were sitting.
"You can just discuss with someone to buy a second-hand car for your client's car," Cheng Ke saw Jiang Yuduo, who was already smiling in surprise in the cab, "I'll be here with you at least a week a month."
"It's not my customer anymore, it's my friend," Chen Qing said. "He's thinking about changing the car. I really asked the third brother to think about buying this car."
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yu grabbed the car and shouted.
"Look." Cheng Ke said.
A few more people got out of the car, and Da Bin took the lead and led them around the sidewalk from the side.
A few people came over and bent over together with Cheng Ke: "Hello, Brother Ke!"
"...Hey, good." Cheng Ke was stunned by this neat and uniform pomp, "Why is this, Dabin smirked when he met me yesterday..."
"We have to have this stance at this moment. We are all like this, and we have a tacit understanding." Chen Qing stood up.
When the people who were playing with the materials in the store saw Dabin and the others, the atmosphere was a little wrong, and they became nervous.
I want to go to the store door when I'm messing around with people, probably because I feel that I have to fight and I can't use it in the store.
But before they came out, Da Bin's group had already blocked the door.
The little brothers he brought over should have been carefully selected, with big shoulders and round waists, all dressed like bad fitness trainers.
Then Jiang Yuduo went over and pulled the rolling shutter halfway down.
"What are you doing!" he shouted, "You guys want to fight, don't you?"
Jiang Yuduo bent down and entered the store.
Cheng Ke quickly stood up and followed him, and Chen Qing gave him a hand: "It's okay, you can't fight, you are outside."
Cheng Ke could only stand outside the half of the rolling gate and listen to the movement inside.
"I said it yesterday, don't be afraid of trouble if you want to make trouble," Jiang Yuduo's voice came from under the rolling gate, "If you speak straight, you want to cheat some money, and I can still praise you for your daring to do it. Don't you dare to make such a bad excuse, don't blame me for looking down on you, you were still wagging your tail in your father's crotch to find the light when I was fighting people..."
Cheng Ke hadn't heard Jiang Yuduo's vulgar and third-brother-style language for a long time, and now he suddenly wanted to laugh.
Seeing Chen Qing's serious face, he suppressed his laughter again.
"I'll count to three." Jiang Yuduo lifted the shutter.
Cheng Ke saw the situation inside clearly, and found that Da Bin and several people had knives in their hands, and immediately became nervous, waiting to hear Jiang Yuduo talk about what kind of challenges everyone would face after counting three numbers.
Jiang Yuduo always said that he took medicine every day, and many times he felt that his mind was a little sluggish. Cheng Ke never felt any difference. When Jiang Yuduo spoke, he felt that he might really have this symptom.
"One, two, three." Jiang Yuduo neatly counted the three numbers in his usual style and skipped the challenge.
This sudden report made everyone stunned.
Da Bin was the first to react and threw the knife in his hand: "Why, don't move?"
He glanced at Jiang Yuduo, exchanged glances with his accomplice, walked out of the store, took a few steps and turned back.
"One, two, three." Jiang Yuduo said.
"You wait." Shizi said.
"I'm waiting for you," Jiang Yuduo raised his eyebrows, "If you want to get out of here, just stand here, I don't have the fucking time to play with you."
Fuck looked at him and turned away.
Cheng Ke breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Da Bin and the others, and found that at some point, the knives in their hands were all put away.
"Call the decorator over here," Jiang Yuduo said, "you guys can help me by the way, go and bring the table I ordered over, and I'll have to pay for the delivery."
"Okay." Dabin responded.
Jiang Yuduo took money out of his wallet and gave it to Da Bin: "You guys have something to eat before you go. Didn't you say you haven't had lunch yet?"
"Third brother, you are a little out of touch now." Dabin said.
"Go away," Jiang Yuduo said, "you didn't take it when you gave you money to eat, and now pretend to be someone from the Jianghu with me."
Da Bin didn't speak, smiled a little embarrassedly, took the money and drove away with a few people.
"Aren't you resting?" Jiang Yuduo came to Cheng Ke just now, "I thought you were going to sleep until the afternoon?"
"Hey—" Chen Qing turned his head quickly, shouted in a long voice, sighed, and entered the store.
"It's about to start decoration, I have to come and visit," Cheng Ke smiled, "What kind of physique do you have? You ran into so many people when the store started."
"It's not a big deal, I just don't want to cause trouble to the police uncle, I just need to scare him away," Jiang Yuduo said, clasping his arms and raising his chin at the store, "How about it!"
"...What about something, an empty store, an invisible signboard," Cheng Ke said with a smile, "what can I do?"
"I put a lot of thought into this sign!" Jiang Yuduo took out his mobile phone, "I'll show you the whole picture."
"I see," Cheng Ke grabbed his hand and squeezed, "meow~"
Jiang Yuduo immediately smiled proudly: "Isn't it very creative! Then I'll put Miss Lucky Miao inside, and then bring Miao to the store..."
Cheng Ke looked at Jiang Yuduo and said excitedly, and suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuduo glanced at him and lowered his voice, "Fuck, are you okay? Are you going to cry?"
"It's a little touched," Cheng Ke said, "I won't cry, I'm not you."
"Be careful, I'm the boss like you now," Jiang Yuduo said.
"You are better than me, and the big boss on my side is Xu Ding." Cheng Ke laughed.
Jiang Yuduo didn't speak, stared at the sign for a while, rubbed his hands again, and then laughed twice.
"Are you going to invite someone here?" Cheng Ke said, "The Chief Protector doesn't make milk tea and snacks, right?"
"Someone, they found Dabin's cousin's high school classmate," Jiang Yuduo said, "that little girl has been making milk tea in the milk tea shop before, and she can make any kind of milk tea, and the fry this and cook that in the shops next to her. know how to do it."
"Familiar, this is, dug with a high salary, right?" Cheng Ke said.
Jiang Yuduo clicked his tongue, thought about it, and sighed again: "Da Bin talked to her, but she didn't want to come over. Chen Qing told me to meet... But she agreed."
"...Fuck?" Cheng Ke felt that he suddenly understood something.
"I'm fine, don't come at me!" Jiang Yuduo immediately lowered his voice and shouted.
"I'm not at you, the little girl is at you, third brother," Cheng Ke took a step back and looked at him up and down, "OK, third brother."
"Your uncle." Jiang Yuduo glared at him.
Cheng Ke smiled and was about to speak when the phone in his pocket rang. He took out the phone and glanced at it. It was Huihui's phone number: "I'll answer the phone first, and I'll talk to you about that little girl later."
"Fuck talk." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Hello, Huihui?" Cheng Ke answered the phone.
"Brother Cheng, let me tell you," Huihui said in a low voice, "Brother Xu brought an old gentleman here, and now he's going up to the third floor."
"What old gentleman?" Cheng Ke asked.
"Brother Xu didn't introduce us. I heard him call that person Mr. Cheng, and I saw... You look very similar..." Huihui said, "I don't know if Brother Xu told you, but I'll tell you anyway. Something like this happened."
Cheng Ke was stunned.
Huihui has been working in the store for a long time. She is very smart, and she knows a little about him and her father. She will call and basically make sure that the person Xu Ding brought over is father.
What is Dad doing in his shop
