It has been half a month since the opening of Bo Sheng's store, and soon, the weather in the South Island will fade away from the bleak winter, and welcome the spring with open arms.Even so, the temperature in the morning and night is still low and cold.Ji Manli has been overwhelmed by work this week, day and night, interacting with each other to catch up with the documents, it seems that the workload of the first half year has been compressed into a week's share, and it is imposed on her explosively at once.I also don't understand why so many books are published before the end of the year, although the requirements for the cover come from major publishing houses.But in a few days it will be the Lunar New Year, so why didn't the publishing house call it a day?

Ji Manli looked at the order in front of her, and there were three covers left, and she could take a rest after finishing.Rubbing her eyes, she got out of the chair and stretched herself. The computer showed that the time was 05:30 in the afternoon. Ji Manli sighed and heard her stomach protesting.It's also because she just ate a piece of bread in the morning, and she has been working hard until now.

Walk to the refrigerator, open the freezer, and there are several boxes of microwave food left in it.Ji Manli thought that she really didn't have the energy to go out to buy food, so she took a box of salmon fried rice, tore open the package and stuffed it into the microwave oven, waiting for it to spin and heat up.

With puffy eyes, messy hair, and wrinkled pajamas, Ji Manli smiled wryly in her heart, and now she really looked like an out-and-out home girl.She didn't even have the courage to look in the mirror, so she took out the fried rice from the microwave, took out a spoon from the cupboard, and sat at the dining table for four, eating bit by bit, not wanting to delve into microwave food at all. For her now, eating is only for physiological needs, not for tasting.When her cell phone rang, she lazily walked over to the computer desk, still chewing on rice.

"Hello..." Her voice was hoarse and tired, as if she had suffered from insomnia for more than seven nights.

"Daughter, we have to go back to our hometown together on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Remember to book your tickets early." The mother's voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's Chinese New Year, family gatherings, everyone loves to ask questions, I'm afraid you will be left alone. If you don’t pay attention to these things for a long time, mom will prepare you mentally. If grandma asks you about your boyfriend after you go back, don’t talk nonsense. Grandma has a heart disease, and she will be unbearable when she hears that you like women. "

"Mom, I know," Ji Manli said helplessly, "It was like this last year, I just smiled at most, it's fine."

"Your father raised a few pheasants, and he said that he will make up for you when he comes back, or you should come back earlier, so the three of us can get together first."

"I'll make a decision after I book the ticket. I have a lot of work these days, so I need to take a look." She went back to the dining table and took a bite of fried rice: "Mom, don't worry about me, just enjoy retirement."

"Oh, okay, okay, are you busy with work again, okay, mom won't bother you, hang up first, goodbye."

"Well, remember to pay attention to your body, goodbye."

Ji Manli put her mobile phone on the table, and began to think about how to deal with the problems of various relatives when she returned to her hometown during the Chinese New Year.Thinking about it, her head hurts inexplicably. The New Year's reunion should be a joyful thing. Why do these relatives insist on turning the celebration into a questioning day, so that she doesn't even want to take a step into the house?Although my parents already knew that they liked women, they were the parents who gave birth to them after all, so even if they were unhappy, they would accept it because they loved her.But the relatives are different, Ji Manli can't imagine how those middle-aged people will make a fuss in the family when they know this big gossip.After all, last New Year, one year after she graduated from university, relatives began to ask questions about when she was going to get married.

After eating the fried rice, she rinsed the box with water, threw it into the trash can, returned to the computer, and then saw the message from Yu Xun.

"Hey, Manli, are you free recently? I really want to eat the cake from your friend's shop, otherwise, can I make an appointment?"

Seeing her friend, Ji Manli's mood began to clear up, and she quickly replied: "Well, okay, let's go tomorrow, or are you free tonight? I can sacrifice my working time to accompany you xd, it means I I have also been rushing for several days in a row, and I need to relax."

Yu Xun on the opposite side quickly showed that it had been read, and replied: "Okay, otherwise it will be seven o'clock in the evening. Anyway, your friend's shop also sells dinner. I recently received the end of the year, so I can eat better. I am so happy!"

"Well, it's okay, although I just ate a box of fried rice."

"Could it be Gui brand microwave fried rice again? Eh, it's not good to eat microwave food. Are you too lazy to go out to buy food because of work, and end up staying at home all day?"

Being pointed out by her friend, Ji Manli faced the computer screen, smiled guiltyly, and replied: "You guessed it right... That's why I promised you to go together at night."

"Okay, it's seven o'clock. Those who arrive first will find a seat first. Your friend is so kind to you. I feel that when you are there, the material in it will be doubled. If she is a man, I will I thought she was going to chase you hahahaha."

"Pfft," Ji Manli couldn't help laughing: "I'm thinking too much! She's still chasing me! Can she make good food for our friends? Okay, let's not talk, let's see if we can meet in 06 Do some more by :30, bye."

"Yeah, come on!!"

What Ji Manli didn't know was that Yu Xun on the other end was thinking.

It seems that Ji Manli is the only one who doesn't know. Her friends should all be able to tell that the store manager is also... very hard.Yu Xun silently drew a cross for Bai Sheng in his heart.

The emperor paid off, Ji Manli successfully completed an order at 06:30, and there are two orders left, and it is estimated that they can all be completed tomorrow.She changed out of her dirty pajamas, combed her hair, groomed her appearance, and went out in a good mood.This time, she arrived at the Bosheng store 10 minutes earlier, and opened the glass door. The figure standing at the counter was so familiar, she unconsciously smiled, walked into the store, and picked a two-seater.

Bo Sheng was holding a cup of roasted brussels sprouts in his hand, and was using a torch to heat the sugar grains on top. He didn't notice Ji Manli, and she put the roasted brussels sprouts on a tray and asked the clerk to send them out.There are three sweaty boys in the kitchen, busy making pasta, soup, salad, etc.As the number of customers increased, Bo Sheng also hired more staff: a western food chef, and her current job is mainly to make desserts.

Although Bo Sheng's shop mainly sells coffee and desserts, it also sells meals, and most of the time the profits of meals are more.

Ji Manli once carefully read the menu in the store. The name of Baisheng's store is "Twelve Midnight", and there is no signboard outside the store. The signboard is on the ground to the right of the store entrance. The five characters are engraved in a simple and low-key way, and the lights inside will light up at night, revealing a soft yellow light.As for the menu, Bo Sheng's menu is divided into breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.Most of the coffee shops will try their best to choose nice and literary names for each dish, but Bo Sheng does not.

Breakfast was just like the platter Ji Manli ate last time, but Bo Sheng made a customized version for Ji Manli. Generally speaking, all the platters included a glass of drink at a certain price, a ball of mashed potatoes, some lettuce, a Bowl of thick soup, and eggs.But some platters are egg rolls and some are American style scrambled eggs.Some of the platters have baguettes, some meat and even quiche, albeit at a higher price.There is also a children's breakfast, which includes cornflakes with milk, an egg-and-ham sandwich, a sliced ​​bratwurst, and some sliced ​​fruit, usually apple slices.By the way, the drink selection is the same [-]/[-].

Morning tea and afternoon tea mainly sell some desserts and freshly made snacks in the cake cabinet. The desserts in the cabinet are: Black Forest, sand shelf, cheesecake, Bavarian cheese, Montblanc, etc., and the freshly made snacks are muffins. , honey toast, and some sweet and savory pies.Due to the good reputation of the desserts in Bo Sheng's store, they even set up a website to sell desserts, and then deliver them by home delivery.However, due to the small portion of desserts, Bo Sheng was afraid that if he took too many orders, he would not be able to bear the load, so there was a daily quota for online sales.After all, it is not as good as a business that specializes in the production of certain desserts. Bai Sheng still hopes to take care of his own small shop, so the desserts he sells are only biscuits.This performance can be achieved within two weeks of the opening, which shows its strength.

There are only two kinds of lunch and dinner, pasta and stew. Frankly speaking, too many menus in a restaurant can easily cause technical difficulties, and each chef has his own items that he is not good at, so Bo Sheng chose the two most common dishes.She herself specializes in Western food and desserts, and pasta and stew are good choices for her or a newly hired chef.

The main meal also comes with an appetizer salad, soup, drink, and dessert.

Ji Manli took the menu handed over by the clerk, pressed it on the table without flipping through it, and waited quietly for Yu Xun to arrive.Bo Sheng seemed to be busy with work and didn't notice her, even though she was sitting very close to the counter, she could be seen almost as soon as she raised her head.For some reason, Ji Manli felt a little lonely, maybe this person always greeted her with a gentle smile.

"Oh, it's so cold outside," Yu Xun suddenly appeared from behind Ji Manli, startling Ji Manli who was still in deep thought, "It's a good thing I have a scarf."

Ji Manli breathed a sigh of relief, followed her mind, looked at her friend who was wearing a pink scarf in front of her, and said, "Hurry up and sit down, and order a hot cup later to warm up your body."

"Don't worry," Yu Xun picked up the menu on the table: "I've already made up my mind, I want to drink fresh milk tea."

"Well," Ji Manli nodded: "Hurry up and see what you want to eat, and let me finish it. I'll wait for you, but I haven't seen it yet."

"Well," Yu Xun stared at the lunch and dinner section with only two pages, and complained: "Oh, there are only pasta and stewed rice here. I thought there was hot pot like a simple restaurant."

Ji Manli twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Maybe Bo Sheng's shop mainly sells desserts, and hot pot is afraid of accidents, which is more troublesome."

"Okay," Yu Xun made a decision: "Really, people like me who are allergic to crustaceans and shellfish are really pitiful. I can't even order seafood. I will eat this... Creamy Smoked Duck Breast Italy The noodles are ready. Here, here’s the menu, I’ll wave for the clerk to come over first.”

"Well," Ji Manli took the menu and made a decision in less than a minute: "I want herbed seafood pasta, and I want chamomile tea for drinks."

"It's so fast," Yu Xun sighed, "It means that your friend's craftsmanship should not worry about stepping on landmines."

"Well." For some reason, Ji Manli suddenly felt a sense of pride in her heart, and said proudly: "She is very good at making desserts since high school."

Inexplicably, he remembered that Bo Sheng again.
