Chapter 448 The goal of the coffee shop
In the past few days, store manager Liu Mu has been investigating customers' preferences for the style of the coffee shop.
Every time a questionnaire is completed, guests can get a limited edition sea blueberry cookie specially made by Ms. Huayu.
This special, one-of-a-kind cookie has received rave reviews.
It’s just that Kai Uesugi sounds a bit awkward, this cookie is obviously made by Hanabi, how can he contact that little guy who is still breastfeeding.
Kaoru Uesugi was thinking while looking at his mobile phone. He had just arrived at the coffee shop and hadn't officially started work yet.
"Kai-kun, Hanabi wants to eat the milk coffee you prepared~ I really want to eat~~"
Facts have proved that Hanamaru Hanabi acted coquettishly on purpose. As a man who likes beautiful girls, he can't resist her charm at all.
"Want something with a strong milk flavor?"
"Hmm~"
Kaoru Uesugi immediately put down his phone and started preparing Hanabi's favorite flavor.
Hanamaru Hanabi stood on tiptoe, watching him busy working in the bar with a smiling face:
"Mr. Kai is awesome, do you want to reward a kiss with fireworks later?"
"no."
Kaoru Uesugi knew she was teasing him.
"Well, that's fine, I'll just stay here and watch Kai-kun busy."
Hanamaru Hanabi sat down on a high stool behind her, folded her hands on the bar like a schoolboy, and stared at him.
The girl was still wearing the shop's maid outfit, and on her head was the willow shop manager's special pink cat ears, which could move.
Her purple eyes were bright and clear, and she was smiling.
Especially the smiling face, just looking at it, makes people bow their heads in front of her, embarrassed to look directly at the beauty in her eyes.
Hanabi is cute when she is not sick and delicate.
At the beginning, Uesugi had a lot of grudges against Black Hanabi, mostly because he believed that Black Hanabi came from the future, or a parallel world.
Because Kai-kun there abandoned her. So she desperately needs Uesugi Kai's love.
She's a second personality, not a real Hanabi.
The real Hanabi is only willing to share Uesugi Kai's love with another self because she sympathizes with her.
Kaoru Uesugi has always thought that way.
It now appears that these were all wrong.
After brewing the coffee and putting in the milk, Kaoru Uesugi put a piece of her favorite fat shark on top of the espresso milk coffee of Hanabi sauce.
"Give."
Kaoru Uesugi brought the coffee in front of her, and a strong aroma visible to the naked eye rose above the white mug.
"Mr. Zhao is obviously not good at drawing, so why can you draw flowers so beautifully?"
"My painting is average, not too bad."
Hanamaru Hanako picked up the cup and took a sip of the milk coffee. The aroma of milk flowed in her mouth, and the richness of the coffee was neutralized in it. It was not greasy, smooth and natural.
"It's delicious! Kai-kun is so kind to Hanabi."
Uesugi Kai couldn't help smiling at her: "Why did you get paid for a cup of coffee today?"
"Because Hanabi thinks Kai-kun is really nice to Hanabi today."
Kaoru Uesugi raised his head and met her eyes.
"whee."
The girl smiled cutely.
Not right.
"You are, Hanabi?"
"A firework is a firework, who else could it be?"
Uesugi Kai's heart skipped a beat, he was a little confused, is this a small Hanabi or a black Hanabi?
No, it should be Black Fireworks.
Xiao Huahuo would not take the initiative to tease him.
"Kai-kun," Hanamaru Hanabi held a coffee cup to her mouth with both hands, smiling purely, "Hanabi will grow too! It's impossible to have that kind of weak character for the rest of your life."
"Well, I believe it."
With these words, Uesugi Kai understood that she was Black Hanabi.
"Kai-kun recognized it?" There was a little milk stain on the corner of Hanamaru Hanabi's mouth after she had just finished drinking, she stuck out her small tongue and licked it,
"Of course." Kaoru Uesugi replied.
Halfway through the coffee, Hanamaru Hanabi held her small face and tilted her head to admire him, "Kai-kun is so handsome."
"You're pretty too."
"No, Kai-kun is so handsome."
"No, it's Hanabi who is so cute."
"Mr. Zhao is handsome."
"Hanabi is cute."
The two of them said one sentence, and praised each other repeatedly, and the girl smiled at each other from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite ambiguous.
On the other side of the coffee shop, Aka Erina suddenly sighed.
"sick?"
Just coming out of the back kitchen, Tashiro Yuri who was standing beside her asked, "Or did you say something sad happened?"
Aka Erina did not look up, but hid in the corner and pointed to the front desk.
Tashiro Yuri glanced over there, the barista Uesugi Kai, and a little maid in the shop.
"Uesugi Kai and Hanamaru Hanamura? What's wrong, I don't understand what you mean."
"Uesugi, aren't you married?" Aka Erina hesitated again and again.
"Ah."
"Who is he marrying?"
"Hanamaru Haname's twin sister," Tashiro Yuri replied, "Didn't she come here to wait for Uesugi a few days ago?"
"Yup."
Aka Erina sighed again, leaned her mouth towards Tashiro Yuri's ear, stared at the two people on the front desk, and said, "Yuri, have you noticed, Hanayu-chan and Uesugi?"
It seemed that it was inappropriate to say that suddenly in his heart, Aka Erina changed the sentence and asked Tashiro Yuri:
"You and your sister are also twins, so the relationship must be very good, right?"
"It's okay. After all, we grew up together. We went to elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university together."
"It's definitely a good relationship. Have you ever liked a boy at the same time?"
"No, we've only ever liked the same bag of chips."
"Potato chips? Uh, that's pretty much the same meaning, anyway, they all like the same one. If your sister wants to grab potato chips from you, what would you do?"
"Share her half."
Split in half?
This is not okay, this is not okay, absolutely not.
too weird.
Aka Erina couldn't keep up with Tashiro Yuri's straightforward brain circuit, and continued to bite the bullet and ask:
"What if, I said, if, your sister wants all the potato chips?"
Tashiro Yuri replied without thinking: "She will only ask for half."
"if!"
"If? If she wants it, give it to her. I'll go out and buy it."
"."
Aka Erina was speechless, feeling that the other party didn't understand what she meant at all.
"Okay, let me make it clear. If, if you and your sister fall in love with a boy at the same time, will you give her half of it?"
"This is impossible."
"if!"
"this one"
Tashiro Yuri turned into a state of thinking, and finally she seemed to have figured it out, turned her head to look at Aka Erina's expectant face, and said seriously:
"I still think Yuno won't like someone."
"Isn't it okay to assume?"
Tashiro Yuri thought about it again: "No."
Aka Erina: "In short, it's hard to accept, right?"
"Hmm~ That's true. If Yuno falls in love with someone, I'd like to know what's so special about him."
"It seems to be very troublesome." Tashiro Yuri frowned.
Aka Erina saw her suddenly realized, and hurried to her ear and whispered:
"Cuckoo, cluck, cluck, cluck."
After Tashiro Yuri finished listening, he looked at the two people at the stage in front of him, and then looked back at Aka Erina in front of him:
"You mean, Hua Yujiang likes Uesugi? She likes her brother-in-law, and Uesugi is also interested in her. After they work together, they become more and more ambiguous?"
"Hush! Keep your voice down."
After making sure that the two people at the front desk did not hear, Akaerina hurriedly dragged Tashiro Yuri to the back kitchen.
The two leaned against the oven where the pastries were being baked.
"That's almost what it means, haven't you noticed? Hua Yu would sit in front of Uesugi Kai whenever she was free, and then smile while looking at his face."
"Isn't this normal? After all, she and her older sister grew up with Uesugi-san, so it's understandable that they have a better relationship." Tashiro Yuri didn't think there was any problem with this.
"Indeed, if the relationship is closer, there is nothing wrong with it, but a few days ago, maybe four days ago, I saw with my own eyes that Hua Yujiang, who came home at night, took the initiative to push Uesugi to the corner of the wall, and then stood on tiptoe. Feet, kiss it directly!!"
"Do you understand? It's direct, kiss, kiss!" Aka Erina said vividly.
"This is indeed a bit too intimate."
"Do you understand what that means?"
"what?"
"Cheating! This is a betrayal of feelings. Although I have only met Ms. Hanabi once, I also know that she is the kind of obedient little girl who will not resist anything. Such a beautiful little girl married Uesugi , completely in love with each other, but never thought that he would be betrayed by this scumbag."
"Any girl who loves her husband will be heartbroken! Such a scumbag must not be tolerated."
Tashiro Yuri was quiet for a while, and said to her: "I roughly understand what you mean, you, do you want Uesugi to change his ways?"
"That's right, cheating is cheating. Although it is Huahuo's job to forgive him, first of all, let him understand that he was wrong and shouldn't be so entangled with Hua Yujiang."
"Understood, but we are just his new colleagues, how can we persuade him?"
"I don't know." Aka Erina replied solemnly.
Tashiro Yuri: "."
"But the goal can be set, we can discuss it, and take a long-term plan."
"So, what's the first step? What should we do in the first step?"
"Well, I should get a few more allies."
dong dong.
The cat-eared maid Tashiro Yuno knocked on the back kitchen door expressionlessly, and she looked at the two whispering in front of her:
"What are you doing here? It's time to work. Three servings of medium-rare steaks, two servings of colorful fruits, and two servings of croquettes. Hurry up, the guests are already waiting outside."
After speaking, Tashiro Yuno turned around and walked out again.
"."
The coffee shop is still busy today.
Kaoru Uesugi felt that he had been making coffee and never stopped. Even with the help of Lihai Kohashi, he shared some of the pressure and kept him busy.
Another guest came.
Uesugi remembers that it was the white-collar woman who asked for her own contact information last time and was stunned by Hanabi.
"Little handsome guy~ My sister has called all the colleagues in the company over these days, don't you want to send some snacks or something?"
Uesugi Kai was silent for a while: "Here, how about the ice cream?"
"No, Xiaodian, it refers to the contact information."
"I am married."
"Married? It's okay to just chat. In fact, I can also have a little coffee. I want to discuss my experience with you. Your little wife shouldn't be so strict, right? Haha."
"."
Although it is not every day, Kai Uesugi meets many such customers.
Damn, this is not a duck shop, what contact information do I need?
"Little handsome guy, see you tomorrow." The two ladies walked out of the shop arm in arm and greeted Kai Sugi.
"Goodbye."
Around 02:30 in the afternoon is the working time in this area. Most of the office workers and white-collar workers who came out to rest at noon have gone back.
Kai Uesugi finally had time to rest and touch fish.
ding bell~~
The wind chime rang.
Liumu Chunzi, who was wearing a small vest in a suit, opened the door and came in.
Kai Uesugi, who was looking at his mobile phone for fish, heard the crisp movement at the door, raised his head and greeted the store manager:
"Master Liumu."
"Well," the store manager held a stack of materials in her hand. She stood in front of the bar and put the materials on the side of the cactus. "A total of 356 questionnaires have been distributed in the past few days. I sent them Those statistics came out."
"so much?"
"That's right, Huayu has worked hard for her, and baked so many cookies."
"."
There are no customers in the store now, and Hanamaru Hanabi took advantage of the empty space to take a nap and sleep in the corner of the coffee shop.
Store manager Liu Mu opened the information and said: "I have done a lot of research on the questionnaire. On this point about the maid, everyone said it is best to keep it, and many customers gave suggestions based on it. Let us try that traditional Western-style maid uniforms, not the current style."
Kai Uesugi understands that the current maid skirts are improved short skirts.
The traditional form of maid attire is a white ruffled apron, a classic maid turban on the head, and a plain one-piece dress with white collar as embellishment.
The long skirt covers the legs and just reaches the ankle. When saluting, the maid will gently lift the sides of the long skirt.
This kind of traditional maid outfit, except for the bow on the apron tie behind the waist and the bow on the neckline, has no other decorations, and it is very clean.
In modern times, general maid coffee shops will use improved models.
Mainly to show your legs and look cute.
Long skirts are changed to short skirts, while showing thighs, and then wearing white silk or black silk to show the legs of girls, which is more attractive to male customers.
There is nothing wrong with this, but compared with traditional clothing, it still lacks a little elegance.
Manager Willow looked up at Uesugi Kai: "What do you think?"
Kaoru Uesugi didn't rush to answer this question.
"Has the store manager decided on the main style of the coffee shop?"
"Well, Western style."
"Since it is more western-style, maid uniforms with long skirts would be better." Kai Uesugi didn't think there was anything wrong with this coffee shop. The decoration of this coffee shop is more retro.
"In addition to these, I also want to add some cat elements, raise a few long-tailed cats in the store, and set up some climbing poles for them in the corner. With the presence of cats, the retro style of the store will be more charming. "
Kaoru Uesugi agrees, Hanabi-chan likes cats and cats a lot.
After that, the store manager Yanagi talked about a lot of ideas about changing the style of the coffee shop. Kai Uesugi listened to them one by one. Many of them came from the opinions of customers.
"Actually, the main purpose of my coming to you is to let you continue to work here."
"Being a barista?"
"Well," Manager Liu Mu nodded, "The business in the store has improved a lot since you came here. Having regular customers is one of the reasons, but you account for a very important reason. As long as you are willing to stay with me for a long time If you continue here, I am willing to give you 20% of the net profit of the daily income as extra salary."
This is too much, almost becoming a shareholder of this coffee shop.
"...not so exaggerated."
"You may not pay much attention, but everyone has great praise for your coffee. Where did you learn it?"
"U.K."
"I know this, I'm asking, who did I learn from?"
"An uncle who likes cats."
