Later, Wang Bo never mentioned Yue Fei and his loyalty to the country again. Every time he thought of the crooked Chinese characters on Atulu's back, he felt embarrassed.
With the arrival of the warm current, the feeling of cold winter disappears a lot, and the snow melts, so that the water evaporates and absorbs heat. Usually, walking in Sunset Town is still a bit chilly.
Because there is always heavy snowfall this winter, many projects in the town have been suspended. Without the construction trucks and messy construction sites, Sunset Town has become as beautiful as a landscape painting.
However, this does not mean that there are no projects underway in the town. A small building in the center of the town is undergoing urgent renovations.
Wang Bo stepped into the muddy water formed by the melted snow and walked into the office building. The designer in charge of the decoration came over and said, "Sir, the decoration of the coffee shop has been completed. You can almost open it for trial operation."
Yes, he plans to use this small building as a cafe.
The town lacked entertainment venues. The emergence of gyms and bars solved this problem, but it was not enough. With the help of two spiritual springs, Wang Bo had already decided to open a coffee shop.
New Zealanders like to drink coffee very much. For example, the police always carry coffee with them wherever they go to investigate cases. First, they drink it themselves to keep warm and refresh themselves, but they also drink it for strangers to build closer relationships.
In many areas of the South Island, inviting someone to drink coffee can win friendship. This is a bit like the Chinese custom of giving up cigarettes.
But for New Zealanders, coffee shops are not just a place to drink. They are more of an entertainment venue, which is very important.
After coffee beans were introduced to Europe from the Middle East, they were loved by Europeans in the 17th century. The emerging bourgeoisie liked to discuss business in coffeehouses. Early British coffeehouses such as Jonathan's and Garraay's were still the main political power in England. Exchanges, people exchange information and socialize in cafes. French cafes and clubs are also the birthplace of revolution.
New Zealand can be said to be a mini version of the European continent, inheriting the traditions of ancestors from Britain, France, Italy and other countries. Cafes are a social place that locals like very much.
Compared to Europe, New Zealand's coffee culture is more popular because the country's first immigrants were sailors, poor people and criminals. You can imagine what their quality is. It is terrible for such people to drink.
Therefore, from the beginning of the country, New Zealand has had a strong anti-alcohol sentiment and has vigorously promoted alcoholic alternative drinks such as tea or coffee to reduce alcohol abuse in pubs.
Since Wang Bo came to New Zealand, he has not seen tobacco and alcohol in conspicuous places in any store, but coffee, tea and concentrated fruit drinks are often seen.
In many towns or villages, there may not be restaurants, but there must be cafes. In some small places, cafes and restaurants will be combined into one.
The scene of everyone drinking wine and chatting together is not popular in New Zealand, but the culture of drinking coffee and chatting is more popular, except of course in Maori gathering places.
When he heard that the coffee shop was built, Wang Bo cheered up and said, "Okay, let's go take a look. To be honest, I've been waiting for this coffee shop for a long time."
"You will not be disappointed." The designer said confidently.
The cafe is located in the center of the town. With the increasing number of people on Highway 8, the increasing population of the town, and the arrival of many tourists, the prices of commercial buildings in the central area of the town have skyrocketed.
For example, the Andersons chose a building as housing when they first came here. Now it has been rented out and turned into a hotel, and they have moved to a residential area.
As soon as they got out of the car, Harris-Born, wearing a white apron and a chef's hat, poked his head out from next door: "Hey, mayor, when will the cafe open?"
Harris-Born was the person who sold Wang Bo his classic off-road car. He moved to the small town from Christchurch to start a dessert business, which was developing very well.
Wang Bo reciprocated the favor by choosing the cafe next door to him. Harris always provided him with free desserts when he held activities. Now that the cafe is set up next door, it can help Harris expand his business scale.
After listening to the young man's words, he smiled and waved: "It's coming soon. The decoration is completed. I'll recruit a good barista and it will be fine. Can't you wait?"
“Of course, I knew my bakery would follow how popular the cafe became.”
Coming to Sunset Town from Christchurch was one of the wisest decisions he made in his life. Although the bakery did not make a lot of money in the town, it was developing smoothly and had a bright future.
The area of the coffee shop is not small. There are two terracotta warriors and horses statues at the door, and there are some very Chinese sculpture lines on the door. Wang Bo adopted a novelty mentality, and the coffee shop adopts the ancient Chinese decoration style.
Entering the coffee shop is like entering a museum. In the center of the living room is a terracotta warriors and horses. It is a large cavalry car with space reserved for passengers to take photos.
The overall style is from the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty. For Wang Bo, the torture and tyranny of the Qin Dynasty are legends. He has not experienced these things, but he knows that the Qin Dynasty was one of the greatest dynasties in Chinese history and unified the country. It was from this era that the thinking officially began.
Of course, not everything is decorated according to the style of the Qin Dynasty. For example, the seats in the private rooms are made of Chinese-style high tables and stools. The lifestyle during the Qin Dynasty was "setting it up is called a banquet, and sitting down is called a banquet." Sitting on the floor, the furniture of this period is generally characterized by its low shape, which is not suitable for coffee shops. After all, it is not pleasant to sit on your knees and drink coffee.
But if there is a bed in the private room, it will be relatively low. He opened one and took a look. The bed was only as high as his knees, and it had a sofa set up, which was full of ancient style.
In terms of tables, chairs and screens, their style has the original arc of wood, showing a simple and rough style with rough materials and simple and rough paintwork.
This kind of furniture looks a little clumsy, but it is more domineering, with a strong and broad-minded power, which is very different from the exquisite modern furniture of New Zealand.
In terms of details, there are patterns on the stairs, handrails, tables and chairs of the cafe, which are called "witchcraft patterns" in New Zealand, and Maori people also like to use such patterns for decoration.
But the two are actually different. Maori patterns are completely abstract, as long as they are beautiful.
The decorative patterns of the Qin Dynasty were derived from cloud patterns. There were many patterns related to life, such as animal patterns, plant patterns, water ripples, fretwork, etc., which were simple and elegant.
Wang Bo walked around carefully and nodded: "Very good, this is the decoration style I want for the cafe. Go find Mr. Juan and he will confirm the checkout for you."
After the coffee shop is established, the next step is to find a qualified barista and then recruit a group of waiters from the town.
ps: I recommend a very interesting book to everyone. The title is "Rebirth of the Gods: Defying Heaven and Becoming a Saint". It is about the conflict between the modern world and the world of immortals. It is full of creativity. The author is also a famous veteran god. Everyone should go and read it. It is very interesting. The subject matter, bullet casings are also being pursued.
