Xu Lin first hired four waiters, two boys and two girls. Nie Zhiyuan's arrival dispelled Xu Lin's prejudice against boys, and the two girls were introduced by Nie Zhiyuan.
There's a story behind this. When Xu Lin said she was hiring, Nie Zhiyuan said he had two older sisters who wanted to give it a try, and Xu Lin said, "Then let them try."
When the two arrived, Xu Lin immediately recognized them as Xie Yao's two best friends from the opening ceremony.
Then it was revealed that Nie Zhiyuan was actually the cousin Xie Yao had mentioned.
Xu Lin expressed her doubts: Why do the cousins have different surnames?
Nie Zhiyuan said that he and Xie Yao both took their mother's surname.
Xu Lin: ...
Once everyone was in place, preparations began in full swing at the tea room on the second floor.
The bookstore is simply called "Bookstore," so the second floor has a similar name: "Tea Room," which is simple and easy to remember.
Xu Lin's initial plan for the tea room on the second floor is to create a place to purify the soul. The apocalypse has brought about a turning point in people's lives, and many people have developed psychological problems. Xu Lin wants to provide such a place to help people emerge from the shadow of the apocalypse.
The second floor is a large hall with several cubicles along the wall. A stage is planned for the hall to host performances, including stand-up comedy, comedy sketches, and song and dance parties.
The venue can also be rented out to provide a stage for events held by individuals or organizations.
Before the teahouse had even officially opened, Xie Yao had already booked the first girls' tea party, not for any other reason than that Xu Lin's ice jelly was absolutely amazing.
That's right. Xu Lin took out the ice jelly seeds she had collected before to make ice jelly as a dessert in the tea room, and also bought hawthorn slices, brown sugar, sesame seeds, peanuts and other toppings from the survivors.
The apocalypse made everyone realize how precious every stitch was, so people collected everything they encountered on their escape route, not knowing if they would ever need it later.
Upon arriving at the base, those who had collected the seeds planted them. Where there are seeds, there is hope, and here they are, put to use.
Xu Lin also posted a notice at the store entrance soliciting various toppings in order to ensure a sustainable supply of ice jelly toppings.
Before Xie Yao's girls' party, Xu Lin hosted a tea party, inviting many people through the Ministry of Culture.
At the tea party, Xu Lin first introduced the operating model of her tea room and also said that the tea room would hold activities in the base square every month, inviting everyone to participate and submit programs. As long as the program was positive and uplifting, everyone could perform on stage.
The monthly performance is voluntary, as a way to give back to the community.
Many people expressed their anticipation, and the representatives from the Ministry of Culture also expressed their support.
After the opening ceremony, the waiters brought out ice jelly and tea snacks, which everyone enjoyed immensely, as they hadn't had desserts in a long time since the apocalypse.
After the opening, Xie Yao's best friend party was also in preparation. As the first big event after the opening, Xu Lin attached great importance to it and personally made the arrangements.
Xie Yao specifically asked for ice jelly; she absolutely loves the taste.
Xie Yao's girls' party was a great success. Everyone was very satisfied with the tea room's ambiance and desserts, and reservations for the tea room were booked up for two months in advance.
Xu Lin did not forget her promise, and a month later, the first charity performance in the square was held as scheduled.
Since it was the first charity performance, all the performers were arranged by Xu Lin.
Nie Zhiyuan performed a violin solo, Xie Yao played the piano, and Xu Lin remarked that they were indeed wealthy, able to bring musical instruments even while fleeing.
