Boys always feel poor

Chapter 71

Lin Yi has always known that it is not an easy task to open a store, no matter any store. In addition to the layout of the store, the purchase of equipment, the more troublesome thing is to go through various formalities and certificates.After all, Lin Yi still had a job, so it was impossible for him to be with Luo Qi all the time. After taking a break and accompanying the two of them to choose the machine, Luo Qi was basically responsible for all the other things.

Fortunately, Kong Yang, who survived the exam week, had a winter vacation. Because Hou Shan was also very busy, Kong Yang, who was bored, mingled in Luo Qi's cake shop every day, which helped a lot. .

Just like this, going back and forth every day, Luo Qi finally completed all the procedures needed to open the shop before the New Year, all kinds of equipment, tables, chairs, benches, plaque light boxes are also in place one by one, their cake shop is finally going to open up.

Lin Yi stood at the door of their small shop, looking at the whole store quietly. There were several sets of seats randomly scattered beside the floor-to-ceiling glass near the door. Each chair had a soft pillow, which was chosen by Lin Yi himself. .There are two glass display cabinets in the middle of the store. From tomorrow, there will be various styles of bread, small cakes, and small desserts in various flavors for customers to choose at will.As for the cakes that need to be ordered in advance, they also specially prepared a picture book, let the customers choose the style they like in advance, and then Luo Qi will make it according to their requirements.

There is a small cubicle behind the cash register. The space is not too big. It only accommodates a bed and a wardrobe according to Lin Yi's request. All the belongings of the two of them have also been arranged. It seems a bit crowded, but for those who used to live It was nothing to the two of them who had passed the shabby little room by the railroad tracks.

Lin Yi looked around, seeing that the place was empty the first time he came here, and now it looks like a cake shop.Kong Yang patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "How about it, you will become Boss Lin tomorrow, do you feel so excited that you can't sleep?"

Lin Yi raised the corners of his lips, looked at Kong Yang, and said seriously: "Really, thank you, if it weren't for your help during this time, we probably have to wait a long time before we can open."

Kong Yang raised his eyebrows: "Hey, hey, it's boring for you to be like this. If you are so polite to me, you will not be friends in the future."

"When you are a friend, you should also be grateful." Lin Yi said earnestly. He has more than that to thank Kong Yang, because he still has a job, and Luo Qi must not be able to take care of it by himself every day, so the two of them discussed it. Concerned about whether to hire another person, Kong Yang stopped him after hearing it. Kong Yang said that he had nothing to do during the winter vacation, so he considered it as a work-study program in the store. The salary requirement was that he could eat whatever he wanted in the store.

Lin Yi was moved and amused, he knew that Kong Yang was afraid that they didn't have much income when they first opened the business, and if they had to pay one person's salary, the two of them would not be able to afford it.In fact, it’s not just Kong Yang. Hou Shan put up a promotional poster of the cake shop in his pet hospital. The list was sent privately to her colleagues and students.

Everyone they know is doing everything they can to help the two of them, because of these people, they can successfully open this store.

They have nothing in return, except to work harder.

Luo Qi made a few small desserts, and the three of them ate and chatted by the window. Luo Qi talked about what he had seen and heard on the construction site before, and Kong Yang complained about the horror of the exam week and talked about college life by the way. Interesting facts.Lin Yi still didn't talk much, but he listened very carefully.He likes the feeling now, with his lover by his side and his best friend on the opposite side, they are sitting in the afterglow of the setting sun, just sitting together and chatting, haha, this world is stable.

After Hou Shan finished his work, he drove over to pick up Kong Yang. Luo Qi and Lin Yi stuffed him with a bag of small breads and desserts, and then took Kong Yang, who was already half full, back for dinner.

Lin Yi stood at the door and watched the car go away, then turned to Luo Qi and said, "I used to worry that the road ahead for the two of them would be difficult, but seeing them now, I have nothing to worry about. , after all, they can't hold other people in their eyes anymore, why can't such two people persevere?"

Luo Qi looked at him and laughed: "I found that before you knew it, you became more and more open-minded."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows: "That's natural, after all, I've been influenced by you all day." Lin Yi walked behind Luo Qi and gave him a pinch on his back, "It's been a hard day today, go to rest early, and you have to get up early tomorrow Ready to open."

Luo Qi turned his head and kissed Lin Yi on the lips: "It's really time to go to bed early, let's rest, don't worry."

Lin Yi reached out and knocked on his head: "Hey, the store is still open, if anyone passes by at this time, I'm afraid you will be scared to death."

Luo Qi smiled and shook his head: "I'm in my shop, kissing my boyfriend, I don't care if others are scared to death." After speaking, he kissed Lin Yi's face again, and then turned to close the shop. .The two of them worked together to tidy up the store and went to bed early. After all, tomorrow will be a busy day.

Knowing that there are a lot of things to do this day, Lin Yi woke up early, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the person next to his pillow had already woken up and stuffed the pillow into his arms, so that he could rest assured go to sleep.A faint voice came from the kitchen, Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand and poked Tutu's face lazily lying under the bed: "I'm afraid there will be many people in the shop today, so I can only wrong you first. Stay here by yourself, and when I get to work, I will take you upstairs during the day, so as to save some customers from being afraid of dogs."

Tutu yawned, rubbed against Lin Yi's fingers, closed his eyes and continued to doze off.It is a bit unfamiliar to the new environment after just moving, and it didn't sleep well last night, so Lin Yi, who can save sleep at this time, is worried.

Lin Yi rubbed Tutu's head again, then changed his clothes to look at Luo Qi.Because these desserts have to be bought on the same day, in order not to affect the opening, Luo Qi can only get up early to fill the display cabinet before customers come to the door.

Lin Yi didn't know anything about these desserts, so she could only follow Luo Qi to beat him up and hand him things, watch his every movement, and wipe the sweat from his forehead.After working with Luo Qi for a while, Lin Yi couldn't help but said: "When the business is good, let's hire another person. Anyway, the store has opened, and my income is enough for the two of us to live. You Bian would rather earn less, and don't want you to be too busy alone."

Luo Qi took out the freshly baked bread from the oven, turned his head and smiled at Lin Yi: "You are the behind-the-scenes owner of this store, and I will follow your orders."

The two of them were busy all morning, and finally filled the two display cabinets in the store. Lin Yi took a deep breath, and finally opened for business.

Regarding the opening, they didn't hold any opening ceremony. They just set off firecrackers at the time set in advance according to the custom, and took off the red cloth that had been hanging on the signboard, which was considered to be the opening.There are posters of special offers for the opening of the new store everywhere inside and outside the store, and there are two huge flower baskets in front of the store. One is signed "XX Pet Hospital" and the other is signed "XX Technology Co., Ltd.", which looks extraordinarily bluffing.

Because it was the weekend, Lin Yi's otaku colleagues all came to join in the fun, plus the classmates and teammates pulled by Kong Yang, and passers-by passing by, the small shop was very lively for a while.In order to attract customers, the prices during the first few days of opening were extremely low, so no matter if they were watching the excitement or those who really wanted to buy something, they all bought something in the end.Kong Yang was in charge of collecting money behind the cash register, Luo Qi continued to be busy in the kitchen, and Lin Yi went back and forth to help Luo Qi and take care of the customers in the store, and occasionally helped Kong Yang, the cashier, to pack. free.In the end, even Qiao Yi and Fu Man, who were only planning to come and see the meeting later and went to the airport to pick up Qiao Yi's parents, had to stay for a while to help.

After the excitement gradually dissipated, the flow of people in the store began to return to normal. There were girlfriends drinking hot milk and gossiping on the seats, young couples secretly holding hands in the corner, and some were pestering their mothers to buy something that looked delicious. The kids with cakes, the grandpas and aunts who came in with vegetable baskets when they saw the discounts, were not as lively as they were at the beginning, but they continued throughout the morning one after another.

The number of customers in the store became less towards noon, Lin Yi looked at the time and it was probably too late to make lunch, so he went to the nearby restaurant to order takeaway, and ate in a hurry with Luo Qi and Kong Yang.I don't know if it's because the price is really low or because they chose the right day. Lin Yi roughly estimated that the turnover this morning was much more than they expected. Although the profit is not high because of the discount, but Small profits but quick turnover, and the income this morning is also very considerable, so there is always a smile on his lips, looking happy.

The remaining two people looked at him and couldn't help but find it funny. Kong Yang was already full and was leaning on the chair to eat the dessert that Luo Qi rewarded him. It's only been one morning, Luo Qi, you have to watch him count the money at night, I'm afraid he's too happy to count the money, just like Fan Jin, lost in his mind."

Lin Yi shook his head: "I'm probably not going to change the top prize now." He put away his little notebook, and returned to the cashier full of energy, "The lunch break is over!"

The author has something to say: Is it early today!
