our supernatural life

"Little boss, what new dim sum do you have today?" The girl who opened the door greeted with a smile, and pushed the man behind her to the front, "My cousin just came to Binhai, so I told him that the dim sum in your store is delicious. , don't embarrass me!"

"I know." Mai Mai glanced at his watch with a smile, "Wait another 10 minutes, there are new two-color tulips coming out today, and you should eat them warm."

The so-called two-color tulips are actually siu mai that have been specially arranged in shape, with the edges raised to make them look like tulips.One is made of white rice flour, wrapped with shrimp stuffing, and the other is made of black rice flour, wrapped with mushroom and chicken stuffing.This is a new salty dessert that Mai Mai came up with, and I'm going to try it out.If the market is good, he plans to add two kinds of sweet fillings on this basis to turn it into a four-color tulip.

After being judged to be a dewy marriage by the off-line boy with red lines, Xiaomai's fighting spirit has risen again.Why does he only have a dewy marriage, did he kill someone in his previous life or set fire in this life?Don't tell him what is destined in the marriage book, his mother's favorite sentence in the past is: How do you know that I can't do it?Based on these words, she insisted on maintaining the factory until the severance pay was paid to all the workers, and she insisted on paying off the debts and supporting Mai to go to college.Even grandma said that his mother is a capable woman.So Xiaomai wouldn't believe the words of an offline kid!Besides, what kind of broken software can't even be opened later.Also, Dad Mai passed away when he was five years old. Why didn’t the software figure this out?So, even if this software is really a bit sophisticated, even if Xiaoyue is a genuine red-line boy, Mai Mai does not believe that he will only have a dewy marriage all his life. After the age of 25, isn’t it not counted?

"Two-color tulip?" The girl laughed, "I found that you can always come up with some nice names, little boss. By the way, I also have a copy of Yuanyangwa, cousin, this is delicious."

"Mandarin duck tiles are just out of the oven, I'll get them for you right away."

The young man didn't speak all the time, he just looked around at the decorations in the small shop, waited until Maimai took the fragrant mandarin duck tiles, and then said slowly: "Boss, customers have to wait for 10 minutes for dim sum, isn't it good?"

The girl quickly smoothed things over: "The food in this store is really delicious, and the wait for 10 minutes is not too long..."

The young man smiled, ignored what his cousin said, and still said to Mai Mai: "People who come here to eat, of course, don't think 10 minutes is long, but for customers who pass by by chance, will they wait for 10 minutes? And, you here There's not even a place to wait."

The girl is a little embarrassed.She is a regular customer of this store, and she always thought the food was delicious, so she brought someone here, but her cousin had an occupational disease again, so she just said that.Just as she was about to find something to say, Mai Mai said sincerely: "You are right, hot desserts are like this, they are always the best freshly cooked, but in this way, some customers who have no time to wait will indeed be missed. I've thought about this too, but my shop is too small...in fact, I really want to have a few tables so that customers who have time can sit here..."

The man shook his head: "It's inappropriate for you to think like this. You are a pastry shop here, not a restaurant. Besides, as you said, the shop is very small, and it's not worth the candle to provide space."

The girl said helplessly: "Cousin, I beg you, don't commit your occupational diseases everywhere? I think the little boss only needs to work hard to make good snacks. If the food is delicious, the guests will come naturally. You This is not good, that is not good, so what is good!"

The young man disagrees: "In today's society, publicity is also very important. We can no longer believe in 'the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley' as before. If you can't attract potential customers quickly and efficiently, it will be a loss."

"Two-color tulips are here!" Gui Zier ran over from behind holding a small bamboo drawer, and put the steaming two-color siu mai in front of the two of them.The girl didn't care to discuss the efficiency issue with her cousin, so she took a small clip and took a bite: "It's so delicious!"

The man also took a bite, chewed a few times and nodded: "It's really good, and it's really delicious when it's hot. It's a pity that we have to wait."

Wheat agrees with him: "You are right. But how can I solve this problem?"

The man raised his hand to point out the shop: "Actually, your dim sum is more suitable for a restaurant than a pastry shop. If the customer is sitting in the restaurant and ordering this dim sum, he will certainly have enough time to wait."

Mai Mai still didn't quite understand: "Are you allowed to open a restaurant? But I can only make dim sum."

The man smiled: "No. I mean, have you considered cooperating with a certain restaurant? Put your dim sum in the restaurant and sell it as an accessory, so that more guests will taste it, and it will also expand your business. Dim Sum influence."

The girl was attacking the third siu mai, and she yelled when she heard this: "Ah, cousin, I said you had an occupational disease, Barabara, and said so much. It turns out that you are here to recruit foreign aid for your restaurant!"

Mai Mai froze for a moment: "You..."

The man smiled, took the paper towel next to him to wipe his fingers, and took out his business card: "My restaurant is not far from here. If the boss is interested, we can talk about it. My name is Ren Hui, what is the boss' name?"

"Mai Qiao." Mai Mai stretched out his hands to take the business card, "Excuse me, is your restaurant..." It seems that he has never seen the "Chun Cheng Zhu" on the business card on this street.

Ren Hui smiled slightly: "I just took over the Deep Sea Fishing Village on the corner over there. The renovation is in progress and it is expected to open next month."

The girl smiled and said: "My cousin opened a restaurant in Shanghai, and this time he is back in Binhai to open a branch. Boss, your salty snacks are so delicious, let's cooperate."

Mai also thinks this proposal is very good.This is a reciprocal matter, as long as it is done well, at least it will not be harmful to him.After taking over the store, he was thinking of a way to promote it. The initial idea was to do it online, such as a blog or a small website. He could do this, but what Ren Hui said was right. It can't change the fact that his shop is small and customers can only stand and wait, so Ren Hui's proposal is very beneficial to him no matter what.

Ren Hui stood against the counter, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was not worried that Mai Mai would disagree.Mai Mai read the business card carefully, and then looked up at Ren Hui.Ren Hui's appearance is average, that is, he has good features, but he has a calm demeanor, with a confident temperament in it, but he is not aggressive, so he looks very comfortable.Mai Mai looked at him a few more times, and suddenly felt a little hot on his face, and quickly looked away: "It is also my honor that Mr. Ren can value our dim sum, so let's talk about it when it is convenient for Mr. Ren."

Ren Hui smiled slightly: "OK."

The time for the discussion was Monday morning, when there would not be many people in the store.Gui Zi'er claimed in the past two days that the demolition had begun to take shape, her mood improved a lot, and she could work in the store again during the day, so Mai Mai followed Ren Hui to Chuncheng Building, which was still in the final renovation, with peace of mind.

Chunchengzhu is actually a combination of two restaurants that are separated from each other. The area is not small, and the decoration is also very particular.Ren Hui told Mai Mai that he was taking the route of private food, and the special snacks in Mai Mai's shop happened to be sold here, and the price...ahem...everyone understands.

Mai Mai is a student of advertising, and he is like-minded when it comes to this form of sales promotion. The conversation was very speculative, and it was noon before he knew it.Ren Hui looked at his watch: "It's getting late, why don't you have a meal with me? Try my handicraft." Mai Mai rejoiced.

It turned out that the two of them made lunch together. Ren Hui fried black pepper steak, made from wheat... scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded hot and sour potatoes.

When the meal came to the table, Mai Mai was quite ashamed, but Ren Hui was very comfortable eating this kind of mixed Chinese and Western lunch, so he asked Mai casually: "After the opening of Spring City, I plan to promote special dishes once a month. The dim sum you make should be as good as it can be." Cooperate with me, you go back and think about it. If it is to cooperate with my new product, I hope we have the exclusive right."

Mai Mai thought that he was indeed a businessman, and he didn't forget to negotiate while eating.But he couldn't find a second restaurant to cooperate with now, so he nodded happily: "Okay."

Before finishing the good words, Maimai suddenly felt that the nodding head was a little heavy, and the steak on the plate in front of him suddenly blurred, as if it had moved to a far away position, blurry.He blinked, and the steak came back to him, then away again.

"What's wrong with you?" Mai Mai felt that Ren Hui had grabbed his wrist, and he blinked again, everything was back to normal, the steak was still lying in front of his eyes, it was just a moment of dizziness.

"It's okay, I'm a little dizzy." Maimai pressed her temples, probably because she's been working so hard these days, she can't sleep at night and is always thinking about new snacks.

Ren Hui didn't let go of his hand immediately: "You have to be careful, health is the most important thing."

Mai Mai raised his head and smiled at him. The dizziness just now has passed, and his vision is clear now without any discomfort: "Maybe I didn't sleep too much at night."

Ren Hui still held his wrist, and smiled, "I still have to protect my body." His palms were dry and warm, and felt very comfortable just like him.

They are now sitting in the corner of the western restaurant that Chun Chengzhu has just finished renovation, next to the large glass window, from which the sunlight shines on Ren Hui's side face, and also on his hand holding the wheat.Mai Mai's heart moved slightly, thinking of Xiaoyue's hesitant words: Well, you will soon have a dewy marriage...

Could this man be his dewy match?Ren Hui's appearance is mediocre, but he has a calm demeanor and looks solid and reliable... But, he is dew...

"Is it better?" Ren Hui asked considerately, "Do you want to take a rest? There is a rest room at the back."

Mai Mai shook her head and gently pulled out her hand: "It's really all right, I have to go back to the store as soon as possible."

Ren Hui didn't insist, and let go of his hand: "I'll see you off." But as soon as he finished speaking, an employee came to him, saw Mai Mai, and hesitated to speak.Naturally, it is not easy for Mai Mai to stand by and listen to other people's business secrets, and it is even more difficult for Ren Hui to drop his business and come see him off, not to mention that Chuncheng Zhu is just across the street from the pastry shop, so he declined Ren Hui's kindness and left Chuncheng alone. build.

How about encounters everywhere in life, Xiaomai had just walked two steps along the road when he saw a figure galloping towards him, looking back ghostly while running.Mai Mai glanced over, really angry and funny, when the man ran up to him, he suddenly tripped and said, "Bai Lebo!"

The white radish was tripped and flew out, so Xiaomai witnessed him pass through a car parked on the side of the road, and then lay on the road.

Bai Luobo got up groaningly, and Mai Mai jumped over and grabbed him: "Are you stealing again?"

Bai Luobu squinted at him, then looked around—Mai guessed he was checking to see if Shao Jing was there—and when he was sure that Mai was alone, he snatched his collar back and muttered, "I have to pay the rent... ..."

Mai Mai couldn't laugh or cry: "Can't you find another job to do? Being a cleaner is better than sneaking around all day, isn't it?"

Bai Luobo pursed her mouth, and said after a while: "I want to do it..."

Mai Mai sniffled: "What's the smell on you? Disinfectant?" It was the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

Bai Luobo had a more bitter expression: "I'm working as a cleaner in a hospital these days."

"Isn't there a job? Why are you still stealing?"

"They experimented with rabbits..."

Oh -- wheat sympathized.Even monsters are rabbits after all.

"This, this is also impossible..."

The white radish kicked the flower bed by the side of the road: "Are you going to take me to the police station?"

Mai Mai was in a dilemma, and it took him a long time to say, "What did you steal again?"

Bai Luobo honestly opened the men's wallet in his hand: "There is not much money. I don't steal valuable things. Last time I stole a diamond ring and was caught and sent to the police station. Captain Zuo scolded me... ..."

"Who is Captain Left?"

"The director of the Demon Supervisory Council."

Mai Mai couldn't imagine what the position of the director of the Demon Supervisory Council was: "He, what does he do?"

"Didn't you just say it, the director of the Demon Supervisory Council!" Bai Luobo looked at Mai with the eyes of a fool, as if he couldn't understand and was mentally retarded.

Wheat is a little depressed.Doesn't he know that the director of the Demon Supervisory Council is very strange?But there is nothing to say to Bai Luobo: "I think you should go to a serious job. If you don't want to do it in the hospital, you can go to other places to do cleaning. If you always steal like this, even if you are a monster, it is not appropriate?" He flipped Look in the wallet, "There is not much money, but I have an ID card. You see, there is also a bank card here. It is very troublesome for people to reissue."

"I took out the money and threw the bag at the gate of the police station, and they will return it to the owner."

"Have you done this many times?" Mai Mai didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, "By the way, you stole my things last time, and I haven't settled with you yet! My bracelet is worthless and you stole it too." It was sold later? Did you know that it was my father's relic? And you hit the old lady and caused me to lose 1000 yuan, do you know?"

Bai Luobo squatted down and shrunk himself up: "I, I have no money to compensate you... Last time that bead was sold for 3000 yuan, I paid half the rent and ate half of it..."

"3000 yuan?" Mai Mai was surprised, "That's 18K, can you sell it for 3000 yuan? Who was so fooled by you again?"

Bai Luobo was dissatisfied: "Why did I cheat? The shopkeeper offered 3000 yuan for it!"

"Nonsense!" Mai Mai didn't believe it at all, "18K gold the size of soybeans can be sold for 3000 yuan? Who are you lying to?"

"Really!" Bai Luobo was anxious, "Why did I lie to you?"

Mai Mai was puzzled: "Really? What kind of store is that? What did he buy it for?" It's pure gold, and the size of a soybean is not worth three thousand, right?

The white radish pointed at her finger: "How do I know... I took that bead to the gold store, but they refused to accept it. The man said he opened a shop and asked me to sell it to him, so I sold it..."

The more Maimai thought about it, the more confused she became.The gold store does not accept it, which means that the beads are definitely not pure gold, but some people are willing to pay 3000 yuan to buy them. Why?

"Where's the red string with beads?"

"It's all sold."

Wheat sighed.Well, don’t even think about getting it back now: “Didn’t you ask him what he bought it for?”

Bai Luobo shook his head: "I didn't ask."

"Then where is his shop?"

"……do not know."

Wheat really wanted to whip him.

Bai Luobo looked at him cautiously for a while, and said, "You still want to buy it back? Then I'll look for it?" "Forget it." "Wheat thinks it's okay to find it, and spend another 3000 yuan to buy it back?"He really can't afford the money.

"You, stealing like this all day is not an option. Since you have a job, then go back and do it first. If you think the hospital is not good, you can look for it again!"

The white radish pouted and muttered.Mai Mai thinks that these monsters are hundreds of years old, why do they look like a child?

"Otherwise, I'll tell Shao Jing to find your left captain!"

With this scare, Bai Luobo was honest, although he showed reluctance on his face, he finally nodded.Mai Mai watched him go, and suddenly felt blurry in front of her eyes again, just like in Chuncheng Zhuli just now, the scene was instantly blurred, and it took a few seconds for it to return to clarity.It seems that I have been too busy recently, I really can't do this, if my body breaks down, I will have to be sent to the hospital if I make money.Mai Mai stood for a while holding the tree next to her, and decided that starting today, she must rest on time at night.
