Tang Xiaoya used to patronize cat sucking and rubbing cats. In order to keep the heart of the Maine Coon cat, she had already fed several cans, until she was stopped by the beautiful clerk when she wanted to feed it again.
"Guest, although the store provides canned staple food that can be eaten all the time, but it can't be fed like this. Maine is very edible but can't always use food to keep it."
Rao is the type of staple food that Lin Lan gave when she saw that Tang Xiaoya asked for three cans as soon as she opened her mouth, instead of eating too many canned snacks that would hurt her stomach. She was still frightened when she saw that she was only catching a cat and feeding it hard. .
This gave her a wake-up call.
Only now there are not many customers, and the Maine Coon cat has a big appetite, so it’s okay to be greedy.
It's still my own inexperience in opening a store, so I have to remember this.
She reminded herself secretly, thinking about preparing a note to record it, Lin Lan was still persuading this girl who was only thinking about Maine's madness: "The hot milk tea you ordered is almost cold. Now, do you want me to warm you up again?"
Tang Xiaoya, who was sucking the cat, remembered that she had not touched the food she ordered until now, but she hugged the cat and soaked it for a long time, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Thank you. Well, can you add another sausage for me? ?"
They are all ready to spend the whole day playing here, and of course eating is also solved here.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The beautiful female clerk left with a smile.
A few minutes later, the reheated milk tea and the sweetly roasted hot dog were brought back. It was nearly 11 o'clock at this time, and Tang Xiaoya, who was really hungry, reluctantly let go of the big cat and sat back again.
The Maine Coon cat, Mercury, was amnesty, stepping on the cat climbing frame on the wall and returning to a high place beyond the reach of people. In a short time, it refused to come down even after being beaten to death.
Tang Xiaoya just glanced at it regretfully, and turned back to prepare to deal with her stomach first.
In addition to a large cup of coconut milk and a strawberry cream waffle, the refreshment set she ordered, plus a pure meat hot dog at the back, was more than enough to fill her stomach.
The clerk who heated her milk tea was very caring. The temperature of the milk tea was just slightly hot in the mouth. Tang Xiaoya took a tentative sip. The first thing she was satisfied with was the temperature. Eyes widened unexpectedly.
It tastes even better than what she bought in a special milk tea shop!
She quickly picked up the waffle on the plate and took another bite. Although the warm aroma just came out of the oven has been lost, the taste of the biscuits in the mouth still made Tang Xiaoya instinctively narrow her eyes with happiness. She couldn't help but open her mouth and take another bite. The cake-like cookies mixed with strawberries and cream are refreshing and sweet.
"Delicious!" 40 yuan is so worth it, Tang Xiaoya picked up the cup and took a sip of the milk tea, the coconut fruit in the milk was rolled and chewed between her lips and teeth, and it felt great, "This craft doesn't need to open a cat cafe. , just relying on these refreshments can make me honestly become a repeat customer!"
As a result, the most common thing is that it is not handmade, but the hot dog sausage produced in batches.
But Tang Xiaoya also finished eating and killed all the three servings of food, she felt a little overwhelmed.
As the time approached noon, most of the customers who had been attracted by the cat walked out of the store. Only two or three customers like Tang Xiaoya remained in the room, each finding a more comfortable place to rest.
Tang Xiaoya saw those people who went out to catch a meal, and several of them ordered milk tea and snacks to take away before the time, and suddenly felt that this must be learned.
Then, after going to the toilet, he went straight to the bed-shaped cushion that he had been lying on before. Behind her is a transparent glass floor-to-ceiling window, and she can clearly see the small closed yard outside the back door.
The long yard is covered with a simulated green carpet, and there are two rows of green cat grass on the left. Probably because it does not grow very high in winter, the green and tender green seedlings are very gratifying; on the right is a set of white square table and round stools. The sun shines through the ceiling, which is also made of glass, and it also shines on Tang Xiaoya's body while it is in the small courtyard, making people feel a little sleepy for no reason.
It's halftime now, there are fewer people, the cat is more comfortable, and the busy shop assistants are relaxed.
Tang Xiaoya could see the clerk cleaning up the leftovers on the table, and it seemed that in order not to break the peaceful atmosphere of the teahouse at this time, her movements were gentle and careful.
The service is really good…
Tang Xiaoya, who was full and basked in the warm winter sun, gradually became very confused, her will gradually weakened, and when her eyes were about to be half-closed, there seemed to be something soft on top of her head, and she seemed to be with her. After rushing to bask in the sun, I heard a snoring sound after a while.
it's a cat...
Tang Xiaoya reached out and touched it twice, the smooth feeling made her curl her lips, and then she closed her eyes and squinted.
"Mom, a guest fell asleep. Please take out the blanket from the drawer on the counter for me." When Lin Lan put the bed-shaped cushion in the teahouse, she knew that someone would definitely sleep on it, either the guest or herself. , of course, with a matching blanket.
When she was covering the girl with the blanket, she saw that there was not only a sleeping person on the mat, but also several cats lying on top of them basking in the sun.
"Meow—" the cats were still barking at her when they saw her coming. (Lanlan, this is the most comfortable place, it's warm and not noisy. Would you like to come and enjoy the sun together?)
With warm sunshine overhead and a human-shaped stove that doesn't move when asleep, these kittens know exactly where the temperature is right.
"No need." Lin Lan shook her head amusingly and whispered to them, "Everything should be small, don't make this young lady sleep, you know?"
Her cat tea house was originally a place for people to relax and relax, but now there are not many customers, so it is better to take care of it.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Lin Lan thought about taking out her mobile phone and took a photo of it. When the girl woke up, she had to ask if she would mind keeping the photo, so that she could be a photo of the guest interacting with the cat. wall.
Putting away the phone, out of the corner of Lin Lan's eyes, she saw that the table for Ms. Yao was clearing, and she hurried over.
"I'll come here. You go eat and rest." Lin Lan snatched the other party's work, and drove him away without waiting for his objection.
The young people who wanted to say whether they could have dinner together could only walk away angrily, while Lin Lan continued to clean up.
Ms. Yao, who was sitting behind the table, was holding her pet in her arms. At this time, her mentality had already calmed down. She looked at Cheng Fengyang, who was reluctant to leave, and then looked at Lin Lan, who had no idea, her eyes flashed, but she didn't mention anything. .
"Ms. Lin." Ms. Yao said at this moment, "The sudden arrival has kept you busy. It's almost time for me to go."
"Don't worry, Ms. Yao." Lin Lan stopped her. "There will be cat performances in the afternoon tea house, and pudding will also be in the performance. Are you sure you want to leave now?"
Ms. Yao was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but look down at the hairy child in her arms. When did her pudding become talented
As time passed, the angle of the sunlight in the backyard changed quietly. It was already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon when Tang Xiaoya took a nap.
She felt that it was a little difficult for her to breathe, and the top of her head, chest and stomach were very heavy. She opened her eyes in a daze, and was frightened by the cats lying on her body and around her at some point.
She slept for two hours, and she actually had a cat on her body!
Regardless of seeing the cats who all ran away when she woke up, Tang Xiaoya sat up in a panic, and her mind gradually became clear. Blankets feel warm.
They even cover sleeping guests with blankets. Good reviews, must be five-star reviews!
After going to the toilet to clean up her sleeping face, Tang Xiaoya, who came back, found that there were more guests in the afternoon. From the words of those people, some of them were friends of Amway's guests who came in the morning.
"Xiaoya!" As he was looking around, a familiar female voice came from the door of the store.
Tang Xiaoya looked up and saw that it was Wang Jiajia, a colleague and friend in her company, and immediately smiled: "Jiajia! Why are you here!"
"It's not that you hooked me up with all kinds of cats in the circle of friends!" Wang Jiajia pretended to be dissatisfied and stared at her, "Eating alone, why don't you invite me to come with me in such a good place."
"No way, I just found out today!" Tang Xiaoya immediately defended herself, and immediately changed the subject in the next second, "But let me tell you, this store is super awesome! The price of the common people is aristocratic treatment, and the food is delicious. The drink is no worse than the petty bourgeoisie we usually go to. Most of the cats in it are precious pet cats. I tell you that in addition to the Maine Coon, there are puppets and Abyssinia. The only thing is soil. The cat's group of little black cats also... "
Before the chatter between the girls was over, there was a soft sound of music in the teahouse, which had always been quiet. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look for it, and saw the teahouse clerk pushing a fairy tale-style mini stage in the middle of the teahouse. on the ground.
The beautiful female clerk was clapping her palms to attract everyone's attention: "Thank you for coming to my cat teahouse, I'm Lin Lan, the owner of this shop."
Tang Xiaoya's smile froze. She always thought that this clerk was an employee, but after a long time, she was the owner
So envious! It must be very happy to have so many kittens!
Just thinking about it in my heart, Manager Lin was still talking.
"In order to express our gratitude to everyone, and to celebrate the official opening of our store on New Year's Day, the kittens in our store will perform a congratulatory performance, I hope everyone likes it!"
What? cat show
The guests who came to the teahouse to enjoy leisurely cat stroking were stunned at first. When they felt that they did not understand the meaning of the words, they saw that Lin Lan had already clapped her hands and called out to the surrounding: "The Black Cat Corps assemble!"
As soon as the words fell, the six black cats who had been lazily scattered around the teahouse before quickly gathered at Lin Lan's feet from all directions.
The crowd suddenly exclaimed.
"Go on stage." Lin Lan gave another command, and the black cats immediately jumped onto the mini stage, and stepped on the climbing frames of various shapes and patterns in an orderly manner, forming a three-dimensional triangular vertical ladder team.
The guests who had already reacted all showed novel and excited expressions at the moment. Many people subconsciously took out their mobile phones and started shooting videos on the stage.
When they thought that the black cat came to power, it was the end, but when they saw what happened later, they realized that it was only the beginning.
The pretty shopkeeper continued to call again, this time calling the kittens' names: "Golden Carbon, Gray Ash, Silver, Sausage, Pudding, Mercury, Sapphire..."
Every time a name is called, a cat jumps onto the stage, and it is honestly standing on the edge of the stage. The beautiful pet cats of various colors form a semicircle, and surround the black cats behind in the center. The half-cylindrical mini-stage was jam-packed.
The original music has stopped, and then switched to a more lively and lively piece.
At some point, the store manager held a tambourine in his hand and tapped lightly to the rhythm of the music.
The dozen or so kittens on the stage cried out at the same time: "Meow! Meow!"
The meow is also stepping on the rhythm of the music, just like a person singing along with the music. With every tap of the tambourine, the kittens sang along.
After singing for a while, the beat of the tambourine changed to two, and the kittens on the stage raised their small paws in a neat and consistent manner, the left paw, the right paw, and sometimes stood upright. A very cute simple dance.
The cats sang, danced, and danced because of their different body shapes, elegant or cute. Seeing a group of cat slaves blushed and their eyes were straight.
Until the short performance of less than two minutes ended, the kittens jumped off the stage and were pushed back by the staff, and their excitement did not stop.
Just based on the performance just now, this cat cafe in Xicheng can be directly supernatural, and there is no cat cafe in Xicheng that can surpass it!
As for the opening preferential policies that the store owner said later, for example, all the people present today can receive a free coupon, and they can have a day cat without spending money. They have all ignored it, and they just want to watch it again in the future. Performance.
"If there are no special circumstances, it will only be performed once a week, on weekend afternoons."
The shopkeeper, who was rubbed hard and blistered, had no choice but to let go, and everyone was satisfied.
At this time, all the customers have a different attitude towards the cats in the store, including the black pastoral cats who were a little shy or ignored before. They all want to try the cats that the owner said before. eight.
Isn't it just canned food and cat strips, just for you!
In the lively teahouse, Ms. Yao took her pet into her arms again, but her face was full of surprise: "Miss Lin, how did you do it? Pudding can sing and dance, it's really amazing." The last sentence Complimenting his furry child.
"Business secrets." Lin Lan replied in a versatile sentence, "Ms. Yao, are you going back?"
"Well, if you don't go back, there will be trouble at home again." She was very reluctant, but Ms. Yao couldn't leave. There were already more than a dozen missed calls on her mobile phone. Get used to it, "Pudding, mom is leaving, you have to stay here and be an obedient child."
"Meow—" (Mom, come see me next time!)
Of course, Lin Lan couldn't let a pregnant woman go home alone. She directly called Xu Xiangfei, who was lying at home on the fourth floor, and asked him to help deliver it. After the arrangements were made, she went back to continue entertaining guests.
Because of the previous cat performance, there was a wave of guests coming from behind. Lin Lan had to stop the guests from buying canned food, and let them use various toys to tease the cat on the grounds that the kitten needed to exercise and digest, or Play photo directly.
It was a busy time, and until the teahouse officially closed at five o'clock, those people left without a word.
On the first day of opening, I made a lot of money, but I was also exhausted.
"I originally thought that the cat cafe would be able to play with me alone, so I was unfamiliar with the business in the first two days and needed your temporary help, but now I realize it's too naive." In the water bar, Lin Lan sighed to her parents. Said, "Sure enough, I still have to recruit someone."
"Who are you recruiting? No need to recruit!" Wang Xiuzhi was the first to object, she said that she was not tired at all, "Isn't your father and I ready-made staff? How busy can our canteen be, we will go there alone at that time. Look at the store, and the other one will come to your side to help!"
It was originally a shop that was only open for fear of being too busy, but now it is just right for them to be busy.
The old Lin family, who is used to running a mom-and-pop shop, has absolutely no intention of hiring someone to distribute the money to outsiders.
"Then how can it be done? We still have to recruit. Hourly workers or long-term employees can be considered." Lin Lan insisted, she can't really let her parents suffer for her shop. It doesn't matter one day or two, it's definitely not possible to do this every day." This matter is not negotiable, listen to me!"
Lao Lin and his wife were not very happy, and they wanted to continue to object and were pushed away directly by her: "Come upstairs and have dinner, I'm hungry if you are not hungry!"
The Lin family couple who were pushed away by their daughter did not forget to greet Cheng Fengyang: "Xiao Cheng, will you eat with us?"
"No uncle and auntie." Cheng Fengyang shook his head, he could still hear such polite words, it would be abrupt if he really responded, "It's too late, I'm going back soon, my parents are also waiting for me to eat. ."
The old couple quickly left, leaving Lin Lan and Cheng Fengyang to continue working in the water bar, counting and arranging canned boxes and ingredients for the water bar.
"Today's business is very good. Many customers are willing to spend money on canned food." Cheng Fengyang smacked his tongue when he saw that a lot of canned carton boxes had been emptied, but he was not surprised when he thought about it. There are not only cats in this store. He is very expensive, and he is especially good at showing cuteness to guests. In the afternoon, he even dances in the shop. Even he, who likes to keep dogs, is envious, not to mention those cat slaves who are in active duty or reserve duty.
"It's just for the convenience of the New Year's Day holiday. There won't be so many people on weekdays, everyone has to go to work." Lin Lan replied with a smile, "Thank you, Fengyang, for giving up the public holiday and still coming to help me here. "
"It's just a small matter." Cheng Fengyang waved his hand, "I was curious about how to open a cat cafe, so I took the initiative to come here. After all, this is also a store that I designed myself!"
"Anyway, I still have to thank you." Lin Lan said seriously, "Since you don't want to charge, then you should always be invited to dinner."
When the shop was completed and filled in everything, Lin Lan, who had seen the results, really planned to pay the design fee. She couldn't keep people busy for so long, but the other party just refused the payment with the original agreement. , and now she has come to help after opening a business... Lin Lan is really embarrassed.
Cheng Fengyang's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Lan's invitation to dinner: "Then tomorrow night, how about we go to the travel food stall in the back street to make skewers together? Their barbecue is very delicious. I like the kebabs there and the The squid is teppanyaki!"
"I like it too, the mutton skewers there are amazing, and I also like the grilled leeks and grilled eggplant there... Wait, I said you should choose this kind of place for dinner?" Lin Lan, who was almost distracted by the barbecue Looking at him with dissatisfaction, is this looking down on her, Lin's savings... Although it is true that it is running out of money, even the Xiangjia trench coat that was used for coercion before has been changed into banknotes.
"How come, I really plan to eat meat skewers all-you-can-eat at night!" Cheng Fengyang also answered her with a serious face, "I will not only eat it, but I will also pack some grilled chicken legs or something to bring back to Xingxing!"
If you are full by barbecue, you even eat and take it, and someone else pays the bill, is it cruel enough
Lin Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing, it's okay, it's very Cheng Fengyang. Recalling the first time she met him, this guy could sit in the car and tease the golden retriever with a ham sausage, so it was not difficult to think whether he would continue to tease the border shepherd at home with a chicken leg.
In this way, when the two said goodbye and separated, the first day of business of the cat teahouse officially ended.
Lin Lan originally thought that Cheng Fengyang would come to join her in the next afternoon to have sex with her, but in the morning she received a call from him, saying that a customer who was in charge before urgently asked for help and could only go to work honestly. There was nothing to do about work. Lin Lan said it was okay to make an appointment next time, but she felt a little melancholy when she put down the phone.
A few months ago, she was also a working dog. The boss or Party A had to get up and rush to work when the boss or Party A made a phone call. Now she feels that these times have become very far away.
"Meow-" (Lan Lan, are we still open today?)
With cats around her legs, Jinjira, who is very used to being sought after by humans, can't wait to lick her mouth—perhaps she can't wait to eat free canned food.
"Think about your own stomach, don't eat too much." Lin Lan could only persuade him, and decided to buy some smaller canned cat food. These cats really don't have a B count when they eat. "Eating too much, you can run the wheel like a hamster to digest food in the future." She has contacted the merchant to customize it.
After the golden holiday, the bustling teahouse business finally returned to normal, a lot lighter. Like other cat cafes, there are a lot of people on weekends, and weekdays are lighter.
No matter how relieved the shopkeeper Lin Lan was, Tang Xiaoya was very concerned about it. Whenever she had time, she would come over and sit down, making Lin Lan almost know the taste of this girl, and she seemed to be a regular customer here.
Just after entertaining this one, another guest came to the door. It was a rare combination of a mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandson.
- A grandmother in her fifties, a woman in her thirties, and a little girl in eight.
Lin Lan greeted her as usual with a professional smile. The three of them followed the disinfection process and then sat down to order food. The little girl wanted to leave her elders many times and ran to hug the cat, but she was all held back.
Tang Xiaoya, who was sitting behind them, didn't pay attention at first, until after they finished ordering, when the owner turned to leave, she heard the old grandmother say something to her granddaughter.
"Have you seen it? You will know how to play every day without studying. When you grow up, you will become her and you can only serve dishes to others."
The old grandmother pointed to the shopkeeper not far away to educate the little granddaughter who was going to cuddle the cat.
