Cheng Fengyang didn't feel the resentment of the store manager Xiao Zhang at all. He had already entered the working mode and did not go to get the refreshments on the table, but asked Lin Lan about the specific needs of the owner.
"I want to make a beautiful window cabinet, one that allows the kittens to run up and sleep comfortably on their tummy, but the light transmission must be good! The area of the water bar... It's similar to what you see in this store, In the future, I will use all these equipments. There must be two toilets inside, one for people and one for cats, and the toilets for cats must be squat toilets.”
Lin Lan gestured, Cheng Fengyang took a pen and paper and recorded something in the notebook that he brought with him. He couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the last sentence: "Why build a squatting urinal for the cat?"
"Because the toilet is too high, the cat can jump on it when it is young and strong, but it will not work when it is old." This is a drawback that Lin Lan only thought of a few days ago. Even a kitten who can squat by the toilet will squat on the urinal. It's even simpler. It's not difficult to get them to change their toilet habits again. "The life span of cats is at most 20 years at most, and usually they will be gone in about 10 years. Since they have been raised, they must be treated well, so these things must also be considered. arrived."
At the end, Lin Lan's voice subconsciously softened.
Being able to understand the cat language and communicating with them without any obstacles was an accident she was lucky to get, and she wanted this accident to continue to be beautiful.
"Lin Lan, you really like cats." Cheng Fengyang couldn't help but sigh, the tenderness in her eyes could overflow when he saw her mentioning cats, but he couldn't help being infected by the tenderness, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you. Design the cat's favorite tea house!"
"Then please!" Maybe it was because he had communicated too much with cats. When Lin Lan looked at humans, he always felt that they were not as pure as animals. She can see and feel the sincerity, and the other party is helping her sincerely.
The two discussed the decoration for a while, until Cheng Fengyang felt his mouth dry, and then he remembered the milk tea on the table, and took a sip when he picked it up.
Then his eyes widened: "It's delicious!" Then he raised the milk tea cup in amazement and looked at it, which was in a uniform package that was no different from the franchised milk tea shops outside, "I've also drank a lot of milk tea, this is The taste of home is very advanced, why can't it go on? It shouldn't be!"
The doubts and affirmations he blurted out, like two invisible flying knives, slammed into Manager Xiao Zhang's heart again, and he couldn't help but cover his chest.
Lin Lan pursed her lips tightly, afraid of accidentally laughing, but replied with a stiff face: "It's just that the store manager has something to do at home and doesn't want to open the store, so the lease expires and the store is closed. The water bar equipment in the store has already been sold to me. , until the end of the contract. These days, I'm also learning how to make refreshments from the store manager, doesn't it taste good?"
The store manager Xiao Zhang in the back immediately nodded, thanking Lin Lan for covering up for him: "It's okay, you are Lin Lan's friend and also my friend. You can eat milk tea and snacks here, I'll treat you!"
He suddenly thought about it. Anyway, the rest of these ingredients would not be sold out on the day of the move, and there was a limit on the shelf life, so it would be better to give people more to eat.
At this moment, two passers-by came from outside the store: "Boss, a cup of milk and salt oolong and a cup of roselle fruit tea!" It was a young couple.
"Come here!" Manager Xiao Zhang greeted quickly.
Cheng Fengyang subconsciously prepared to leave when he saw that the shop was busy, but Lin Lan stopped him as soon as he started to leave, and asked him to wait.
"Store manager, I'll come." Skillfully pushing Store Manager Xiao Zhang away from the back of the water bar, Lin Lan has already used the equipment inside to make milk tea.
A few minutes later, passers-by drank contentedly with straws: "It's delicious, I just found out today that the milk tea in this shop tastes so good. Boss, does your family have takeaway? Next time, I'll designate your place to order it!"
If it was said that a month ago, Manager Xiao Zhang would have been very happy to hear this, but now he just wants to cry, especially since the two customers were still talking to Lin Lan.
"I'm sorry, this store will be closed this month." Lin Lan smiled at them and answered the question directly. Seeing the disappointment of the two, she added, "But in the future, this place will be remodeled into a In a cat tea house, you can still buy tea with the same taste if you want to drink it, and you can order from the menu above.”
"Is it a cat cafe?" After hearing this, the two guests were immediately very interested. Most of the people who could buy milk tea and drink it were young people who were not only familiar with cat cafes, but also frequented them. "I said why the tea is so good, why did it close? It turned out to be a cat cafe. How many cats are there? Are there any puppets?"
Ordinary cats are not difficult to touch. If you feed stray cats regularly, you can always meet well-behaved cats, but those precious pet cats are not so easy. In addition to finding relatives and friends who have cats, You can only spend a little money to go to the cat cafe once.
"It's a cat cafe, but it doesn't sell coffee, only refreshments." Lin Lan replied with a smile, "When the teahouse opens, it will not only contain puppets, but also Russian blue cats and Siamese, and silver chinchillas with pure blood. There are."
"Wow!" The girl immediately exclaimed, her eyes lit up, "Muppet, Blue Cat, and Jinjira! I want to come, I want to come! Boss, be sure to notify us when the business opens!"
"No problem, thank you for coming to join us. The teahouse will definitely be open this winter. If there are friends who like cats around, you can tell them."
Seeing that Lin Lan had fooled the customers in his store into a prospective customer source for cat cafes in a few words, Manager Xiao Zhang was depressed and powerless.
Sure enough, this shop doesn't belong to him anymore. The water bar has been sold to her. The tea made by others as an apprentice sells better than him. When the lease period arrives, the shop will be returned to her. Now even the customers was robbed.
... so sad, but can't cry.
Manager Xiao Zhang forced a smile on his face, and at the end he watched Lin Lan quickly make a few more cups of fruit milk, and then took several small cakes from the incubator and put them in the packaging box, and then they were all packed in plastic bags and delivered. In the hands of the young designer outside the bar.
"Cheng Fengyang, thank you for coming to help me with the decoration design today. You can bring these small refreshments back." Lin Lan said to him, they said she was willing to give it for free, but she couldn't really say nothing.
Cheng Fengyang was quite happy when he received these snacks. Not to mention the taste of milk tea, he really liked it. He said that his niece was also a guest today, and these little cakes or something came at the right time.
After saying thank you, the young man went home happily with these small foods.
Cheng Fengyang lives in the community across the street. This time, he didn't have an injured buttock and needed to be dragged by a dog that was walking. He leaned on his two legs and entered the community gate within a few minutes.
Walking slowly along the green red brick walkway, he stopped at a single-family house with a garden, pushed open the wrought iron gate outside, and walked into the house through the courtyard.
"Uncle, you're back!" As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Fengyang heard his little niece calling him, and ran over with short legs.
It wasn't specifically to welcome him.
"Wow! It's milk tea and cake!"
The sharp-eyed five-year-old Xiaodouding rushed over just at the sweets he saw at a glance, his eyes staring straight.
"Uncle, uncle, I want to eat!"
When she was calling for me to eat, Bian Mu, who was at the door early in the morning, also kept flicking his tail around Cheng Fengyang.
When Cheng Fengyang was dealing with Xiaodouding and Gouzi's entanglement, Cheng Xingyu and Cheng's mother, who heard the movement one step at a time, also walked out of it.
"I'm back." Cheng Xingyu couldn't help but smile when he saw the thing in his brother's hand, "Is it given by that girl? It seems that the conversation is going well."
"What are you talking about, sister." Cheng Fengyang said angrily, "We're just talking about decoration. People like some of the designs I propose, so they just gave me some sweets before leaving."
"If you don't like it, it may not give you something." Cheng Xingyu laughed, "And I didn't say anything. She likes your design, which shows that you two have certain similarities in aesthetic preferences."
Cheng's mother listened to the conversation next to her. The more she listened, the more strange her expression became. She grabbed her daughter and asked curiously, "Is that the girl who helped her son-in-law before? The old Lin's house in the city village opposite?"
"It's her house." Cheng Xingyu nodded with a smile, "My brother may not have any impression of it, but I still remember it. When this part of my house has not been demolished, and both sides of the street are the same, the old Lin family with a high-rise building is very famous. It's just that I didn't expect that the one who helped my family a lot this time was the daughter of the Lin family. When your son didn't know who he was, he seemed to like it. "
"No! Mom, don't listen to my sister's nonsense, I haven't met others a few times, okay!" Cheng Feng retorted vigorously, but this time his tone was a little out of breath. He was quite righteous in the square last time. Yes, "I won't talk to you women who gossip, I'll put these sweets on the table, I'll go back to the room to make the design!"
After he finished speaking, he quickly put things away and rushed upstairs to lock himself back into the room.
The mother and daughter downstairs didn't stop her, just listening to the sound of the door closing from upstairs, Cheng Xingyu poked the old lady with his finger first, then pointed upstairs, and snickered: "Did you see it? I'm ashamed. "
Mother Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and patted her heart with relief: "It can be considered enlightened." Turning back to look at her daughter helplessly, "I used to be afraid of your brother's early love when he was in school, but now I only worry that he will never grow up. Root tendons, I can't sell it. It's better now, and I've finally grown."
Cheng Xingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "Mom, this kind of thing cannot be rushed or rushed. At least my brother's background doesn't need to worry at all. Now I'm taking it slow, haven't I met a very suitable candidate?" said When she got here, she reminded her in a low voice, "Mom, you and Dad can just mention this topic a little bit later, you can't talk to him every day. Let them get in touch slowly first, what is the attitude of other girls? We don't know either, just let it be, if you talk too much, it will be bad for him to become rebellious."
Mother Cheng, who was thinking of waiting to talk to her son at dinner, suddenly woke up and nodded again and again: "Yes, let's see first, let's not talk about it. Xiaoyu, you are here staring at the child, I'll call and tell your father too. This issue."
Cheng Xingyu couldn't stop it, and could only see his mother hurriedly closing the door and entering the house, and couldn't help but help: "Don't be in such a hurry... Everyone said that this is just getting started, and I haven't written a word."
The episode of Lao Cheng's family passed by in a flash. In the canteen of Lao Lin's family across the street, Lin's father and Lin's mother were sitting behind the counter, watching the store and nibbling on melon seeds, and unconsciously chatted about their daughters.
"Do you think the cat cafe that Lan Lan said she wants to open can be successful?" This is the type of store that Wang Xiuzhi has never been in contact with, and she can't help but instinctively worry, "Can you really make money from those cats?"
"You can definitely make money, otherwise the cat cafes on the street will collapse soon." Lin Youyu didn't worry about gains and losses like his wife, "Besides, it's fine if you really don't make money, and a commissary like ours didn't expect to rely on it to make money. To make a fortune is to find something to do for yourself. If you keep losing money, you will close the door and rent it to others."
"That's right, it's a big loss to continue renting it to others!" When it came to the most critical risk solution, Wang Xiuzhi suddenly realized that she no longer worried about losing money if her daughter opened a store, "It's still an old man, you can see it better!"
"That's right, you are in charge of the little things in the family, but you still have to look at me for the big things." It was rare for his wife to praise him. Lin Youyu was very proud, but he didn't take it too long, and his wife brought him a new problem.
"Dad Lanlan, did you go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for Lanlan to apply for a permit? When the girl asked you what to do with the business license and other procedures, you patted your chest and said that you ran for her, don't you forget? ?"
Lin Youyu suddenly changed from laughing to uh uh, just as he was about to speak, a husky came running from the canteen department... and its owner with a dog leash behind it.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, good afternoon!" The hip-hop youth in camouflage sportswear greeted them with a smile on his skateboard.
"It's Xiao Xu!" Lin Youyu responded with a smile when he saw the person coming, "Are you going to walk the dog again?"
"No, I have to go for a long run every other day, otherwise the sofa will be bitten by me again." It was Xu Xiangfei on the fourth floor. They are all office workers, but this young man always seems to have inexhaustible energy. In the words of his daughter, he is a typical amusing young man who has the strength to realize it with a lot of brains.
Wang Xiuzhi really likes him, and thinks that young people should be so energetic and energetic, and teased him with a smile at this time: "Xiao Xu, I heard it in the corridor two days ago, and your cola bullied the neighbor Xiao Qian again. Niu Niu at home, right?"
This husky is famous for being energetic in the small building. It attracts cats and birds all day long, ranging from Qian Xuan's blue cat to Aunt Yu's parrot. As long as anyone in the small building dares to bring their pets out, they happen to come across this one. Dog, it's destined to have a flurry of dogfights.
As long as Xu Xiangfei came back from get off work and went out to play, the dogs seldom left, so that since Lin Lan started picking up a large number of cats and bringing them back, she directly listed them as a key detour object - cats are much more fragile than dogs, and they will be able to be greatly frightened. In the event of a stress reaction, a person who is not careful will really be scared to death.
So it's been almost two months since Lin Lan came back. Even though they live in the same building, the chances of the two sides meeting each other are getting less and less.
Xu Xiangfei was very nervous, but he didn't think much of it. Now that he heard Aunt Lin's teasing, he immediately exaggerated and pretended to be wronged: "How can there be, Aunt Lin! Our Cola has never won against Qian Xuan's Niu Niu once, every time They were all slapped wildly by Niuniu! You have snowflakes at home, so you must know how fast cats can get their claws out. As soon as my cola put her head in, Niuniu opened her claws and bowed left and right. It was a terrible beating. , the barking of dogs spread all over the floor."
Wang Xiuzhi was amused by Xiao Xu's exaggerated remarks: "You still slap your palms around and open your bows. Just like your Coke's rough skin and thick flesh, Niuniu's little paws won't hurt or itch if you swipe a dozen times."
That's true, but if it doesn't hurt, you have to scream badly to sell badly.
"Don't mention this, Aunt Lin Shulin, I have something to tell the two of you." Living in the same building, Xu Xiangfei had of course heard that the young master's family had been raising cats and was planning to open a cat cafe, so it was only now. I went to the canteen of Lin's house on purpose, "Does Lin Lan still take in pet cats? A female colleague in my company is pregnant, and her mother-in-law forcibly asked her to give away an Abyssinian cat at home. My colleague hopes to have A good family adopted it, do you think it is convenient?"
