Chapter 449 Tokyo Love Story
Kaoru Uesugi still remembers temporarily sheltering his own coffee shop in the UK.
Miss Anna taught guitar, and Mr. Bryce taught coffee.
While waiting for Hanabi to agree to go to Tokyo with them, they took care of themselves a lot, and even paid a very high salary for this inexperienced barista apprentice.
Time has passed, and I don't know how they are doing now.
"I don't know much about the coffee industry in the UK, but I think he is a very famous gentleman." The store manager Liu Mu still wanted to keep Kai Uesugi, "How about it, consider my proposal? How about the daily net profit? 20%."
Kaoru Uesugi admits that the salary is really generous.
The area of mimi coffee shop is not small, there is more than 100 square meters, and it is on the commercial street near the University of Tokyo, so the price of a cup of coffee is around 1500 yen, and some special coffee, such as espresso, will be more expensive more expensive.
But only in the afternoon, a new guest will arrive almost every 5 minutes, often two or three guests will come together.
Leaving aside the consideration of multiple customers coming in at one time, based on the average price of a cup of coffee at 1500, the minimum sales share of coffee in a coffee shop will reach 18000 yen (about 982rbm) in one hour.
And the actual sales will expand by about 40% on this basis.
Of course, coffee shops will not only sell coffee, rice, desserts and so on.
Since it is a maid cafe, there are also staple dishes such as omurice and steak.
These accessories are the bulk of sales.
Adding up the total sales profit, the expectation of 20% net profit per day is much, much higher than imagined.
Kaoru Uesugi did not calculate the exact figure, but he knew that this was at least the top income in the barista industry.
Store manager Liu Mu: "It was okay when I was not busy. I baked some desserts early every day. In the afternoon, when there were more people, I could still be busy in the back kitchen. During that time, it was not a problem to even contract out the work of making coffee.
"It doesn't work now. This store is newly opened, and its popularity has been gradually rising. That's why I recruited Xiaoqiao and you as baristas at the same time a week ago. Not long after you came, the popularity rose a little bit, so that The current manpower is far from enough, I am planning to hire a few more people, and your classmates can come here to work if they want to."
The fact that a classmate came to work in a coffee shop refers to that guy Totsuka trying to get close to his sister.
Of course, the store manager didn't know the specific details, Uesugi Kai only told the store manager that he wanted to work here.
Now that Manager Liumu has agreed, it is natural to ask him for a job.
"How are you thinking? Do you want to agree?" The store manager Liu Mu continued to ask Kai Uesugi.
It can be said that the store manager has given all the conditions.
If it were an office worker who only worked part-time in his previous life, Kai Uesugi would definitely agree without hesitation.
After all, it only cost 996 yuan to work 40 for an hour in the past, but now as long as you agree to the request of the store manager, the salary is more than ten times higher.
But that was before, and now everything is different.
Kai Uesugi no longer needs too much money, no longer needs too much social status.
There is no need to go all out to get money every day at 966.
Now if he is allowed to stay in one place to work, Uesugi Kai feels that his freedom is a bit restricted.
"The store manager." Uesugi Kaoru hesitated again and again, and then raised his head to refuse.
"What's wrong? Did you not agree?"
"Well, I am quite satisfied with such conditions, but I feel that I am an uncertain person. Maybe something suddenly happens one day and I have to leave. At that time, I will live up to your wishes, Manager Liumu. After all, everything is beneficial to me at present, and the salary is too much higher than it should be."
Liu Mu Zichun was not at all surprised by his answer, but rubbed her chin, thinking:
"Well, indeed, it is really unreasonable to sign a contract that lasts for several years."
"That's it."
Kaoru Uesugi came here to work only to make enough money for the next day's bread, and then waited until the agreed ten days passed, and his wife came home, and everyone was happy.
As a result, before the tenth day, my wife went home.
Kaoru Uesugi still remembers how he cheekily asked her for money to pay the property management fee
Hanamaru Hanabi didn't say anything after hearing that he needed money, but turned around and opened her small bag, took out a bank card from it and handed it to him, saying that the password was his birthday.
Afterwards, she wanted to return the bank card to her, but she said in a weak voice that Mr. Kai just used it, and Huahuo's money was Mr. Kai's money.
The feeling of being taken care of by a beautiful girl is really embarrassing
Now, Uesugi Kai feels that working here is good and the environment is good, so he treats it as a goal that can be worked hard.
The most important thing is that he has a job and no longer has to ask his wife for money.
"Let's do this," Liu Mu Zichun seemed to have rethought a plan again, "Since the long-term contract period is too long, why not sign it every month? The benefits remain the same."
Uesugi Kai was stunned: "It's not you, the store manager, who suffers like this?"
"Of course, there are conditions." Liu Mu Zichun smiled confidently, "During your work period, I want you to train at least two baristas. The level does not have to be equal to yours, at least it must be considered as not much worse than yours. , I will check and accept later, how about it?"
Kaoru Uesugi had no room for rejection.
This is almost a win-win (win-win) best result.
"Happy cooperation," store manager Liumu was about to leave the front desk with the materials in his arms, and suddenly turned around and said, "Ah, also, I will try to fix the bookshelf next to the front desk in the next few days, cats and cat climbing shelves, etc. We are also preparing, so please look forward to it.”
Uesugi Kai nodded: "Okay."
When it was time to get off work, the store manager Liu Mu called everyone who worked in the store together and talked about it together.
There is nothing on the bookshelf, Aka Erina is only interested in salary increases and cats.
"Ask!" Aka Erina raised her hand excitedly.
Manager Liu Mu, who was leaning against the bar, looked at her: "Please tell me."
"Cat! What kind of cat does a cat need?"
Store manager Liumu replied: "I haven't considered this yet."
Aka Erina raised her arms again and again: "That! That! Can you let me choose a cat?"
Manager Willow smiled at her and said, "Well, I have already contacted my friend and asked him for help."
"Store manager! Store manager!"
Aka Erina didn't want to give up this opportunity to choose a cat at all, and said in a coquettish tone, "Since we raise cats in coffee shops, we must choose kittens, right? I understand! I understand this! Please let me Choose! I can pay for it myself!"
Aka Erina was too enthusiastic, as a good store manager who cared about the employees, Liu Muchun gave up the idea of rejecting her.
"Hey, if that's the case, I'll leave it to you, but you don't need to pay for it yourself. Pick out the kitten and remember to give me the receipt for buying the cat."
Manager Liumu looked at the clock hanging behind the bar, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
With a "snap", she clapped her hands and said to everyone in front of her:
"Everyone has worked hard, today's work is over, please have a good rest."
Downstairs in the coffee shop, Kai Uesugi asked Hanamaru Hanabi to stand behind him, and pushed out the parked bicycle by himself.
Hanamaru Hanabi held the sea-blue lady's handbag in front of her with both hands, and waited quietly aside. She looked at Kai Uesugi who squatted down to open the lock, and said:
"It feels like everyone is very happy today."
"Well," Kai Uesugi found the position of the lock, inserted the key into the lock cylinder and turned it, "After all, the coffee shop has a better goal, and everyone has something to do next, and I'm going to come to the shop to help out or something .”
"The goal?" Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her eyes and said the word silently in her heart. After two or three seconds, she looked at Uesugi Kai who had stood up and pushed the cart again and asked, "Mr. Kai, the previous goal was to be admitted to the University of Tokyo. Now this The goal has been achieved, Kai-kun, do you have a new goal?"
"A new goal?" Kaoru Uesugi thought to himself as he pushed the bicycle out.
"Well, a new target."
Uesugi Kai held the handlebars of the bicycle with both hands, smiled and asked the girl in front of him:
"What was Hana-chan's previous goal?"
"Before Hanabi. Of course it was before." Hanamaru Hanabi's thin voice was only halfway through, she was a little shy, and buried her face slightly, only a pair of smart eyes eagerly wanted to look at him below.
"Well, what about now?" Uesugi Kai knew what she meant and laughed.
"It's the same now, but it's changed a little bit, from pursuit to persistence." Hanamaru Hanabi's voice became smaller and smaller, and her face buried deeper and deeper.
She didn't pay much attention, Uesugi suddenly pushed the bicycle and stood in front of her, and then buried it in her ear and said:
"I'm the same as Hana-chan."
"Is it the same?" Hanamaru Hanabi raised her head.
"Of course it's the same. I'm still looking forward to spending every day and every second with you. I will regard every meeting between us as our last meeting. I will cherish and love you."
"Hmm." Hanamaru Hanabi faltered more and more as he listened, and finally his heart sank at his simple love words, his cheeks were flushed, "Kai-kun, do you know? Actually, Hanabi has a girl he likes very much in the TV series. "
"What TV show?" Kaoru Uesugi asked.
"The heroine in Tokyo Love Story, Akana Rika, Hanabi likes her very much, Kai-kun, have you seen it?" As long as Hanamaru Hanabi casts her eyes on someone, the crystal clear purple pupils seem to be in love with her. It is as beautiful as colorful flowers.
"Hmm," Uesugi Kai pondered for a while, "I've heard of it, but I haven't watched it. It's a very early TV series."
"It's been a long time." Hanamaru Hanabi replied softly.
"What did you say?" Uesugi felt that she wanted to share something with herself, and listened carefully.
Hanamaru Hanabi followed his movement of pushing the cart, walked out of the corner where the self-driving car was parked, and came to the commercial street.
There are bright lights here, and the girl said as she walked:
"The male protagonist Nagao Wanji who came to Tokyo from Ehime Prefecture met a female colleague from the company who was responsible for picking him up at the airport, a girl with a sweet smile Akana Rika. She is a girl whose eyes smile like crescent moons."
"From Ehime? It's about the same age as my father's." Uesugi Kai remembered that he should be counted as a native of Tokyo, and his father and the others came out of Ehime County to develop.
Hanamaru Hanabi continued: "At the airport, Akana Rika greeted Nagao Wanji with a sweet smile. Wanji is a shy boy who came to Tokyo from the countryside. He is full of cautious expectations for Tokyo and full of hope. Frustrated with an uncertain future, Li Xiang, a returnee from overseas, has never seen someone as special as him, so she is naturally full of curiosity about her.
"And Lixiang is a very beautiful girl, like a little sun, who always infects the people around her with a bright smile. In the company, she will take the initiative to help regardless of her female status, she will take the initiative to help men carry boxes, and she will respond with the most enthusiastic personality. other side.
"She is very beautiful and well-liked by everyone. She has a sweet smile on her face and jumps up and down when she walks at work. There are inevitably annoying male colleagues in the company who point fingers at her unrestrained personality, but she I never cared about it, and still smiled at those male colleagues.
"Akana Rika met Kanji at the airport because of work. When she saw this new colleague for the first time, the girl was curious about his stupid and slow personality. .In the future working together, they gradually get to know each other. At work and after work, Rika faces him with a sweet smile every day. Wanji feels uneasy because he is wandering in Tokyo. Rika will comfort him: "I just don't know what will happen, so will be filled with spirit, won't it?"
"Rika would call him 'Maruko' and 'Maruko' affectionately, and Wanji would be ridiculed by her colleagues because of her name. In this way, they got to know each other day after day and knew each other's character. Knowing what the other party likes, gradually, the innocent and cheerful Akana Rika knows that she likes the clumsy and cute panda Wanji.
"Akamon Rika is a girl who is very straightforward about her feelings. After she knew that she liked Wanji, she quickly said to him: 'I like you'."
Hanamaru Hanabi's voice is so nice that Kai Uesugi fell into the story she told without knowing it.
"It's over? What happened next?" Kai Uesugi asked.
"Kai-kun, do you think there is any difference between Hanabi and Akana Rika?"
"The story is too short, and I haven't fully understood it." Uesugi Kai changed the subject, "But, from what I know so far, there is a big difference in character between Akana Rika and Hanabi, and Hanabi you are more The shy one is Wanji, and I, Akamon Rika, openly say 'I like you' to the person I like after I understand my feelings."
"wrong."
Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head.
"Why not?"
"It's just not right."
"Why don't you keep telling me, okay? I'll rub your shoulders when I get home." Uesugi Kai smiled at the girl, the outline of her face facing the neon lights of the downtown at night, even romantic and beautiful.
Seeing him laughing, Hanamaru Hanabi immediately burst into a touching smile on her lovely face:
"Okay, Mr. Zhao said to rub shoulders, but you are not allowed to go back on your word."
"I absolutely keep my word."
"Do you want to pull the hook?"
"Pick this one too? Ah, okay, I agree."
"Hee hee, Kai-kun is so kind." Hanamaru Hanabi smiled nicely as she saw her thumb imprinted with his.
"Get in the car first, and continue telling me the story later."
Under the night sky in Tokyo, a pink bicycle shuttles leisurely in the city.
Every time she got on the bicycle, Hanamaru Hanabi would wrap her arms around his waist and press her face tightly against his back.
The girl hugged her tightly, as if she was afraid of falling off the back stool.
Although Kai Uesugi can't see her, he can actually feel her relying on him in the evening wind. She is Hanamaru Hanabi, his wife, childhood sweetheart, and a kind girl who makes everyone feel cute. .
Moreover, she likes herself very much, and is willing to pay a lot of things for herself.
Every time he thinks of this, Uesugi Kai feels a warm current in his heart, a kind of warm current called liking, which flows through the whole body and makes the brain feel soft.
