Chapter 1180 Rose Cafe
The experiment lasted for several days, and in addition to testing the power of the Rubik's Cube to make Roland feel relaxed, another way to relieve stress was the dream world - with a group of witches who were full of curiosity about everything and had endless exclamations of exclamation, Whatever you do can make you happy.
Preparing to open a store is no exception.
After a month and a half of busy work, Rose Cafe finally welcomed its opening day.
In order to keep a low profile, he deliberately chose to cut the ribbon and set off firecrackers after ten o'clock - at this time, the breakfast shops have basically closed their stalls, students and office workers have left their residences, and the uncles and aunts are bargaining at the vegetable market. It can be said that Tongzi Community is the quietest. moment.
The cafe is located next to the warehouse, with a total of two floors. The rent is 3,500 per month. Although it sounds inexpensive, considering the per capita spending power of Tongzi District residents, this is already a high price.
It’s just that Roland didn’t care about making a profit, so he didn’t argue too much with the landlord. The only requirement was to open the partition wall between the warehouse and the rental house to facilitate the entry and exit of materials. Of course, it would be filled back intact when the rent was returned.
Seeing that he had paid one year's rent in one lump sum, the landlord readily agreed.
However, these rhetorics are all intended to deceive others.
Roland does not intend to change his career to business, and the Taquila Witch certainly has no interest in serving others. Therefore, the decoration of the cafe is purely a decoration. It is not so much a shop as a small place for everyone to entertain themselves. .
If possible, he would prefer not to have any guests at all.
In order to achieve this goal, on the sign hanging at the door, every drink has a "sky-high price": such as 260 cups of latte and 300 cups of caramel macchiato. He didn't know the difference between these types of coffee. He just multiplied the price by ten from a certain famous store.
You know, a bottle of soy milk next door only costs one yuan and fifty cents.
He didn't believe that anyone would actually patronize this "black shop".
In the same way, if someone wants to come in and spend money even though he is clearly being slaughtered, then nine times out of ten, he is the "promised person" on the note.
But Roland had no idea whether the name "Rose" counted.
"Your Majesty, is this all right?" Phyllis put down the ribbon in her hand.
"Well, as long as the ribbon is cut, the Rose Cafe will be officially open for business." He nodded, "Let's go celebrate with everyone."
Pushing the door and walking into the room, what you see is a bar and several small round tables. Each table is equipped with candle lights and rose vases, and the speakers play soft music. It looks like that. But when the two of them climbed to the second floor, the atmosphere became completely different - it was more suitable to be called a small restaurant than a cafe.
Roland bought a complete set of kitchen utensils and barbecue grills for the ancient witches who entered the dreamland. Compared with the beginning when he could only take them to eat Kaifeng cuisine and Lanlan Road, now they can taste all kinds of fresh food without going out. Probably to make up for hundreds of years of regrets, and because the high-end cuisine brought back from the hotel last time opened the door to a new world, everyone's enthusiasm for cooking was beyond imagination. In addition to learning to use modern cooking appliances such as gas stoves and microwave ovens at the beginning It took some time, but later on I was able to figure out all kinds of new dishes based on the recipes with little need for his guidance.
And several of them are exceptionally talented, and the finished products they produce are quite a bit like star chefs. Although they are slightly lacking in plate presentation and parquet, their control of knife skills and heat is absolutely impeccable, Fei Liz is one of them.
"Your Majesty, I just learned how to braise eel, do you want to try it?"
"The freshly roasted tenderloin is here!"
"Your Majesty, can you help me find some recipes for cold dishes?"
There was a constant stream of greetings from witches, and it was obvious that for them, the joy of cooking food was no less fun than watching movies or going out for fun.
It's a pity that the dream world cannot allow them to stay here permanently - looking at the lively scene on the second floor, Roland can't help but feel a little regretful. After learning about Elena's sacrifice, he entered the dream many times, hoping to be here again They saw each other, but neither the warehouse nor the tube building changed.
This means that sooner or later they will have to say goodbye to this place.
Whether it was because of the war or his passing as an ordinary person, all these experiences would become untouchable memories.
Probably because of this, they cherish every time they enter the dream world.
Maybe... he should also increase the number of times he sleeps. Even if it is not to reduce stress, as long as he can let them stay here for a while, it is worth it.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"
At this moment, a crisp sound of wind chimes came from the first floor.
The room suddenly became quiet.
"Your Majesty, a guest is coming." Phyllis reminded.
No way, could it be that the person who made the promise responded so quickly and came to the cafe just after it opened? He winked at everyone and said, "Act as planned." Then he and Phyllis walked downstairs - among these ancient witches, only No. 76, who had been lurking in "Black Money" for a period of time, served others. experience.
"There's no one at the bar. Is your purpose of opening this shop really to provide a job for the folks in the village?"
The visitor crossed his arms, frowned slightly, and stared at Roland with suspicion. For a moment, he felt the other person's eyes focusing on his cheek and collar twice.
The "guest" is none other than Garcia.
Roland breathed a sigh of relief. The other party had known about opening the cafe for a long time and was able to successfully hand over the business to the previous tenant, which also had the assistance of the star martial artist. He nodded towards Felice, "Two cups of coffee." Then he made a gesture of invitation to Garcia, "Of course, letting them leave the village has always been my goal."
"Wait, I didn't plan on drinking-"
"I'm treating you without charge."
Garcia sat down and said, "Anyway, the price you posted is too exaggerated. It's hard to believe your true purpose of opening the store."
"You are wrong," Roland pretended to be sincere. "From the countryside to a big city, the most important thing is to adapt. If customers come in droves, do you think they can still work with peace of mind? It would be nice not to be frightened. . It doesn’t matter if I don’t make money. The key is to give them a space to adapt to life in a big city. This is the meaning of Rose Cafe.”
"Is...is that so?" she asked dubiously.
"Of course. Also, I would like to thank you for the invitation letter you gave me last time. It was really helpful." Roland took the opportunity to change the topic.
"Is the identity problem solved?"
"More than that, the school has been arranged. It's the same school as Zero, but they are in the high school department." He smiled, "Those three people have always wanted to thank you in person."
"As long as it helps..." Garcia's expression softened a lot, "There's no need to say thank you or anything. After all, this is all due to your efforts - in order not to leave excuses for my father and the media, I will finally There was no choice to come forward.”
Roland shook his head, "It's enough to be able to do this."
There was a moment of silence between the two.
"The coffee is here, please use it slowly." Phyllis's voice broke the deadlock.
Garcia came back to her senses and lowered her head to pick up the cup as if she wanted to hide something. "By the way, I have something serious to tell you."
"Is it related to the Martial Arts Association?" Roland was not surprised. After all, the other party was not the kind of idler who would drop by for nothing.
She nodded, "Yes, there is a task handed down from above, and you are required to participate."
"It shouldn't be an exhibition match or something like that, right? I heard that the preliminaries for the new martial arts tournament are about to begin."
"No... it's a joint extermination mission." Garcia said seriously. ()
