Chapter 658 The former milk tea shop
"Hey, hey, hey, oh!
Uptown Funk you up,
Uptown Funk you up (say whaa!)——”
Next to a snack street in Shanghai, a milk tea shop is playing an English song that has recently become popular in China from abroad. To be honest, this type of song does not seem to match the style of the milk tea shop, but no one has any objection.
First of all, no one else can interfere with what songs the milk tea shop wants to play.
Secondly, most of the customers of milk tea shops are young people. Who among the young people nowadays doesn't know the author of this song? He is a fierce man who has won many awards in the domestic and foreign music scene? Even if not everyone can appreciate this kind of music style, everyone will not interfere with other people's shops and what songs to play for the sake of the creator of the song.
On the contrary, many passers-by who had not originally planned to buy milk tea, after hearing this song, ran over to line up and buy a drink to express their support for the songwriter.
This milk tea shop is very small and can only accommodate two technicians and a cashier, so the speed of issuing orders is a little slow. As a result, customers who have placed orders and those who are queuing fill the tiny space in front of the milk tea shop.
"Oh, this shop is doing so well. The milk tea must be delicious. Come on, let's go line up!" Three girls who were shopping couldn't help but come over when they saw the lively atmosphere in front of the milk tea shop.
At the same time, a man and a woman, wearing hats, masks on their faces, and sunglasses on their noses, also lined up behind them. They were wrapped up tightly.
As they got closer to the tea shop, everyone heard "Uptown Fun" playing inside the store, and the three girls became even happier.
"Hey! It's Fan Fan's new song! Could the owner of this store also be a fan of Fan Fan?" said the girl who first pulled her friend over.
The second girl laughed and said, “Hahaha, it feels pretty weird that a tea shop plays this song!”
"No, a milk tea shop and Fanfan's songs are a perfect match!" The last girl said seriously, "Don't you know that before Fanfan debuted, he worked in a milk tea shop!"
"Hey, I almost forgot about this. What you said is true. From Fanfan's perspective, this song is indeed a perfect match for the milk tea shop. Tsk tsk, I'm done. You've brainwashed me. I actually feel that there is a weird sense of harmony between the two!"
"Hehe, it's not my words that brainwash you, it's this song, okay!"
The three girls were laughing and having fun, and listening to their chattering, the time spent queuing for the materials passed quickly, and it was their turn to order.
Several girls who visited this store for the first time hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up their minds. They had to ask the cashier for help: "What's your signature? Can you introduce it to me?"
The cashier was a lady in her early thirties. She introduced the girl cheerfully, "My signature dishes are baked milk and taro balls. The taro balls are made by me. They are bouncy and different from the ones you buy outside. Would you like to try them?"
The girls were quickly convinced: "Then let's have three cups of toasted milk, and replace the pearls with taro balls, and make it hot!"
"Okay, three cups of toasted milk, taro balls for pearls, and a hot drink. Here, here are your receipts, please take them." The eldest sister took the order quickly, "Next person, what would you like to drink?"
"Two cups of taro ball popsicles, hot, 70% sugar, thank you."
Huh? That voice? The cashier looked up and saw a man with his face covered tightly in front of him. However, she still vaguely guessed his identity from his familiar voice and figure.
"Xiao Lin?"
Lin Fan smiled. It was no surprise that the elder sister recognized him. After all, he had worked in this store for two years, outlasted countless employees, and successfully became the most experienced veteran in this store besides the elder sister, who was also the boss.
However, outside, Lin Fan didn't dare to take off his mask and glasses, so as not to cause confusion, so he could only greet the boss like this: "Boss, long time no see, how is business?"
The cashier, who was also the boss, laughed out loud: "Oh! It's really you! I was thinking... ahem, well, thanks to you, business is pretty good! Come on, come on, it's rare that you're here, I'll treat you, Taro Ball Bobo, right? You've only been drinking this for so long! Are two cups enough?"
The boss was very enthusiastic, but also very tactful, and did not directly expose Lin Fan's identity.
Moreover, although the boss said "thanks to Lin Fan", Lin Fan looked around and didn't find anything related to him in the store. The only thing that could be said to be related to him was probably the "Uptown Funk" that was playing.
This way of riding on the popularity is too subtle.
If the boss just says to others that Lin Fan used to work in my store, then this store will become an Internet celebrity store in a few minutes, and the business will at least double.
However, the boss has never done so.
There were even familiar customers who knew that Lin Fan had worked here before - after all, Lin Fan's face was so recognizable that every customer who had met Lin Fan would remember him - who came to persuade the boss to take advantage of the popularity, but the boss didn't say a word.
Therefore, the news that Lin Fan had worked in this store has always existed in legend and has not been confirmed.
The boss also noticed Lin Fan's gaze and couldn't help but smile: "My business is really good. If it's more, I won't be able to handle it. Now is just right. You don't have to worry about me. Just live your life well."
The boss insisted, and Lin Fan didn't force it: "Okay, thank you, boss."
The boss insisted on not charging for two cups of milk tea: "It's enough for you to come back to see me. I can still afford two drinks. If you keep on talking, I'll get angry!"
Lin Fan had no choice but to accept his boss's kindness.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After watching Lin Fan and a girl who was also wrapped up tightly leave, other employees who couldn't hold back their curiosity came up and asked, "Boss, who is this?"
Even though it's winter, isn't it a bit too cold to wrap yourself up like this?
The boss thought for a moment and said, "My former employee was a very good brother."
"oh."
Not far away, Lin Fan and Xia Yan each held a cup of hot milk tea and drank it in small sips. The warm feeling spread from their mouths to their hearts.
Lin Fan said to Xia Yan, "At that time, I had just reached adulthood. I had no education or skills, so what kind of job could I find? I had no choice but to ask along the snack street to see who needed a laborer."
But the shops that have opened are not short of people. Even if there are shops that need people, they need people to clean, wash dishes, and pick vegetables, but Lin Fan's face doesn't look like someone who can do these things.
In addition, Lin Fan at that time was lifeless and difficult to get along with. As a business owner, he certainly didn't like his employees to have stern faces, so Lin Fan was rejected many times.
Until I came to this newly opened milk tea shop.
At that time, the business of this store was not very good. The boss took the orders himself at the cashier, and two technicians took shifts, which was just enough. In fact, there was no shortage of people.
But after seeing Lin Fan being rejected repeatedly, the boss took the initiative to greet Lin Fan: "Hey, kid, I'm short of people. The monthly salary is 2,000 yuan, and lunch is included. Do you want to come?"
Lin Fan remembered that he rushed directly to the boss and answered decisively: "Come!"
The former milk tea shop, the origin of everything, I hope you like it~ Also ask for votes~ (End of this chapter)
