After a pleasant dinner, the Liunian Coffee Shop returned to its usual quiet state.
Only the lingering aroma of food in the coffee shop made the newcomers sense something was amiss.
A young couple on a date, not wanting to end their date after dinner, went to a coffee shop to have a coffee and chat.
Although I might not be able to sleep at night, it will allow me to have a better chat.
But as soon as the coffee shop door opened, the young couple sensed something was wrong.
Based on their stereotypical impression of coffee shops, shouldn't the aroma of rich coffee beans be the first thing you smell when you open the door?
Does this coffee shop also sell food?
Why does the smell of food fill the air when I open the door?!
If they hadn't just finished eating, they would definitely be hungry by now.
Moreover, the aroma isn't particularly strong, but it's extremely noticeable, even stronger than the aroma of coffee beans.
That's really strange.
After entering the store and finding a seat, the young couple asked the owner for their order out of curiosity.
"Hello, does your coffee shop serve food?"
Actually, there are coffee shops that also serve food in small cities.
Making a living solely from coffee isn't very profitable; it's normal for some people to sit and sit all day with just one cup of coffee.
Therefore, some coffee shops sell light meals in order to increase revenue.
The young couple was quite curious about the aroma of the food in the store; the smell... well, it was very enticing.
Even though the flavor isn't very strong, the aroma is really wonderful.
It's not the greasy smell of food after it's cooled down.
It's like a delicious aroma that lingers after something was already there.
"We don't sell food."
The boss was taken aback, then shook his head and replied.
"Why does it smell so good? It smells like food!"
The young couple sniffed the fragrance in the air and asked curiously.
"Ah, this is the pork trotter rice that some customers ate at the restaurant last night, the aroma is still lingering."
The boss immediately understood what they were asking.
He stayed in the shop the whole time, and the aroma permeated his senses. He didn't realize anything was wrong. Now that he thinks about it, the smell of the braised pork knuckle rice probably hadn't dissipated yet.
It's normal for the fragrance to not escape when the air conditioner is on indoors in winter and the windows are closed.
If you stay indoors all the time, you probably won't feel anything.
But anyone who just came in will definitely notice the aroma.
"Boss, do you know where to buy braised pork knuckle rice?"
When asked about braised pork knuckle rice, the coffee shop owner fell silent.
I don't know whether I should say it or not.
Because there were already a lot of people queuing up to buy pork trotter rice at Mr. Lin's stall today, he had been queuing for half a day.
I haven't been able to buy the Four-Point Gold that everyone says is delicious.
It's really tough.
If we publicize it, wouldn't even more people come to snatch it?
The boss took a while to think about it.
The young couple didn't give up at all and continued to stare at him.
Seeing that it was this late hour and there were only the two of them in the shop, the owner felt sorry for them and kindly told them what was going on.
"There's a place selling braised pork knuckle rice around 5 p.m., right in the alley."
The young couple were delighted, thanked her immediately, and then ordered two coffees.
The boss, feeling a pang of conscience, went to the bar to make coffee.
In order to make money, he even told the customers the location of Boss Lin's braised pork trotters rice.
But the two of them shouldn't be related, right?
The coffee shop owner was making coffee while mentally preparing himself.
...
Since Chu Kuang sent the message yesterday, those who live not too far away have already returned to school today.
Those that are far away are still on their way.
There are also those who want to return to school, but are being prevented from doing so by their families.
"Mom, I really need to go back to school, could you please give me some money?"
The girl knelt down in front of her mother, pleading and begging, but her mother remained unmoved.
"I've never seen a university make students go back to school right after winter break starts and they've just gotten home. It's like they're playing a joke on people!"
"Or are you in a relationship and you're asking him for money?"
The more her mother thought about it, the more she felt that her guess made sense.
She's not completely ignorant.
What university has just started its summer break and the kids are already home, yet they still expect students to return to school immediately?
That's not how things are done at all.
So the mother simply didn't believe what her daughter said.
"Mom, I didn't get a boyfriend. There's something going on at school, and all the students in my class are going back to school!"
Fearing her mother might not be able to handle it, the girls showed her photos of their classmates returning to school.
The mother looked at the group chat with some skepticism as many students who had already arrived home were anxious to return to school.
These words seem to indicate that they are all quite anxious.
Could something really have happened in the class that requires students who have already gone home to return to school?
"You're not lying to me?"
Mom still had some doubts.
But the girls all made vows.
If they really detain them and don't let them leave, it will affect their studies.
Moreover, the child has been making a fuss at home for two days.
"How much do you need? I'll transfer it to you. Come back as soon as you're done with school, okay? Don't wander off."
"Hehe, Mom is the best. Just three thousand is enough, enough for round-trip airfare and a few days' worth of food. I'll be back next week."
The mother, who had already dismissed half of her doubts, became suspicious again when she heard her daughter say she would be back next week.
It's just a few days' trip, and all you need is transportation and food expenses. It looks exactly like you're going on a date with a guy!
"Take extra money with you when you go out. Mom will buy you the train ticket; we happen to have a coupon. How are you getting there?"
The mother probed subtly.
Then, the girl, too excited to notice, was so thrilled at the prospect of returning to school that she was practically spinning around in circles.
