I open a bookstore in the human world

Song Lan picked a piece of mousse made in the shape of a lime. The shell is made of chocolate, dyed the color of a lemon, and there are small particles unique to the lemon skin on it, which looks like a real lemon. .Inside is a lemon-flavored mousse, stuffed with candied lemon pulp. It tastes lightly lemony, sweet and sour, and very delicious. It is said to be one of the most popular desserts in the store.

In addition, there are passion fruit mousse, guava mousse, etc. In short, each dessert is as delicate as a work of art, which makes people unable to bear their mouths.

"Now the store prepares two hundred desserts every day, but the supply is still in short supply." Xie Daonian looked quite complacent, "These desserts are sold out before evening every day. If you come later, you won't be able to eat them. You must order online in advance. Just make an appointment."

"I have to do so much every day, is Tang Chi busy?" Song Lan was a little surprised.

"These are all done by his apprentices, and he is only responsible for instructing others." Xie Daonian smiled, "You don't think that I called Tang Chi here to do these?"

Song Lan was a little embarrassed: To be honest, he really thought so.

A gleam of clarity flashed in Xie Daonian's eyes: "Actually, as long as you learn the method and have a template, these pastries are not difficult to make. Tang Chi's main task is to develop new products, and he is also responsible for teaching apprentices. In order to open this dessert shop , I recruited three pastry chefs from baking school, and their job was to make desserts."

Song Lan nodded: "Let me just say, even if Tang Chi has three heads and six arms, I'm afraid he can't handle so many tasks. Then again, don't squeeze the labor force too much, and occasionally give Tang Chi some time off so that he can be with him girlfriend to go."

Xie Daonian was taken aback: "Girlfriend?"

"Xiao'e," Song Lan was stunned, "you don't know, do you?"

"I really didn't know they became a couple." Xie Daonian was startled for a moment, then smiled, "No wonder, I said that a while ago Tang Chi suddenly asked me for a few days off, saying that he would take Xiao'e to play. I thought they just had a good relationship, but now that I think about it, it's a bit suspicious."

"You are later in love than I am," Song Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "By the way, Xiao'e said that she wanted to come to you to help, but in fact the main thing is to be able to get close to Tang Chi, don't you object?"

Xie Daonian shook his head, with a confused expression, a little distracted: "What am I objecting to? It's also my reason, separating the two... Sigh——"

"Why are you sighing?" Although Xie Daonian's sigh was very soft, Song Lan caught him, he was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Xie Daonian came back to his senses, the corners of his mouth curled into an unnatural arc, and he picked up the teapot for Song Lanman, "I just got this tea, try it, it tastes pretty good."

Seeing that Xie Daonian was obviously changing the subject, Song Lan became more curious, stared at Xie Daonian carefully for a long time, and concluded: "You have something to hide from me."

Xie Daonian's eyes flickered: "No, where do you want to go? How could I hide something from you?"

"There must be!" Song Lan was decisive, her eyes were like torches, and she looked excited, "Don't be mysterious, just tell me what it is. It's better for you to tell it yourself than to let me guess it when the time comes Right. I have a rich imagination, so if I don’t get it right, I’ll guess something.”

Xie Daonian frowned: "..."

Song Lan's eyes were full of gossip: "Could it be that you have a crush on Xiao'e, and found out that she is already famous, so you can't help but sigh?"

Xie Daonian: "...No."

"It's not that you have a crush on Xiao'e, could it be..." Song Lan looked shocked as if she had discovered the Nepalese water monster, "Could it be that you have a crush on Tang Chi?!"

Xie Daonian's eyelids twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched. He suppressed the urge to hit someone, and took a deep breath: "Absolutely impossible!"

"Then I can't guess..." Song Lan tilted her head and thought for a long time, and finally spread her hands helplessly, "Could it be that you have a crush on both of them at the same time? Don't look at me like that, who told you not to tell the truth? That's all I can think of if I guess..."

"Actually, I..." Xie Daonian took a few deep breaths, deciding not to let Song Lan continue to guess like this. Who knows what kind of brain hole he will have in the end?A resolute light flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, Song Lan's hand feather × Xi × Du × Jia.The machine bell rang.

"Sorry, just answer the phone." Song Lan took the phone apologetically and went outside the store to answer the phone.

"Actually, I'm just a little envious of them, envious of them being able to express their feelings and be together in a fair and honest way..." Xie Daonian lowered his eyes desolately, looking at the cup of tea that was still steaming in front of him. said the voice.

A few minutes later, Song Lan came back with a serious look on his face.

"I'm really sorry, something happened to the bookstore in Jincheng, I have to rush over to deal with it." Before Xie Daonian could ask, Song Lan spoke first, and he smiled wryly, "I'm afraid I have to leave immediately."

After a pause, he looked regretfully at the hot tea and desserts that had not yet been tasted on the table, and sighed softly: "It seems that I won't be able to enjoy these this time."

Xie Daonian is also a person who knows the general situation. Seeing him so serious, his beautiful thick ink also wrinkled: "What happened?"

"There were thieves visiting the store last night. It seemed that they wanted to steal those records. Fortunately, they were under control, but if something like this happened, I have to go there." Song Lan made a general statement in a few words.

Hearing that it was stolen, Xie Daonian said seriously: "Then you go quickly, will you have time to buy the ticket?"

Song Lan nodded: "I asked Zhang Fan to buy it for me... It's just a pity that I finally came to this magic city, and I have to leave after a short stay."

Xie Daonian smiled understandingly, waved his hands and said, "It's important to deal with business. You can come over here at any time. I'll wait for you."

Gossip less, Song Lan received the flight number from Zhang Fan, and it was only two hours before the departure time of the plane, so there was no need to delay any further, and he had to leave for the airport immediately.

Xie Daonian wanted to drive him to the airport himself, but something happened at a branch and he had to deal with it, so the two had to break up at the door of the dessert house and went to their destinations.

Sitting in the taxi, Song Lan was distracted for a moment: Although life is very busy, it feels good to know that someone is fighting side by side with him.

***

Song Lan hurried to Lijin Mall and found that the bookstore had temporarily closed, and only a few shop assistants were counting the goods and arranging the shelves.

"Where's Zhang Fan?" Song Lan asked a clerk who greeted him.

"Manager Zhang went to the police station to take notes," the clerk said respectfully when he saw that Song Lan had returned.

Song Lan nodded, and asked again: "Have the thief been caught?"

The clerk showed a disgusted expression, and said angrily: "Those are two rascals from society. I heard that our store has expensive records. They hid in the toilet of the shopping mall during the day yesterday. After the shopping mall closed at night, they sneaked out and picked the lock to enter the bookstore. Fortunately, they were found and arrested on the spot, otherwise they would really have succeeded."

As he said that, he got angry. Although the two thieves didn't steal anything in the end, they made the bookshelves in the store all messed up, and some goods were even stained and damaged.

"You mean, the thief was caught on the spot? Was it caught by the security guards?" Zhang Fan didn't tell him these details on the phone because time was tight.

The clerk nodded and pointed to the top of his head: "It was the female owner of the lazy gold store upstairs who found it. Doesn't she live in the shopping mall? She heard something going on in our bookstore at night, so she got up to check and just happened to catch her. Thief."

Xia Lan discovered it?Song Lan didn't expect to hear such an answer. After thinking for a while, she asked again: "She caught it alone? She is a woman, how did she deal with two men?"

It's not that Song Lan really questioned Xia Lan's ability. On the contrary, he certainly knew that with Xia Lan's ability, she could subdue the two thieves with a move of her little finger, but he was a little nervous. Won't arouse suspicion?

What Song Lan was more worried about was, if Xia Lan was exposed, would she drag Shadow Bookstore into the water?After all, the other party also knows his details.

The clerk shrugged, with a nonchalant expression: "How could Boss Xia, a weak woman, have the ability to deal with those two thieves? She screamed on the spot, and the screams attracted the security guards, and only then did the thieves be caught."

It turned out to be like this... The stone in Song Lan's heart fell to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying that this senior is quite clever, knowing that his identity cannot be revealed, so he used the hands of ordinary people to solve the matter.

From this point of view, I still owe her a favor.

"Is Boss Xia still upstairs?" Song Lan asked.

"Looks like she's going to take notes too?" The clerk didn't know Xia Lan's whereabouts too well, "I think her gold shop is closed."

Song Lan walked out the door and looked in the direction of the third floor. Sure enough, the Lanlan Gold Store, which has always been lit, is now closed, and it looks like there is no one there.

Now that she knew there was nothing serious about it, Song Lan felt a little more at ease, waiting for Zhang Fan in the bookstore, and helping the clerk tidy up the bookshelves by the way.

Not long after, Zhang Fan also came back. After hearing that Song Lan was here, he came over to report the whole story to him. First, he apologized to Song Lan: "Boss, I'm sorry. As the store manager, I let this happen."

Zhang Fan was also very annoyed. He never expected that there would be thieves making trouble under his nose. No one dared to provoke him like this when he was in the heaven. Challenge his majestic authority as the Second Prince of Heaven!

What's even more exasperating is that just now he was ridiculed by that Xia Lan all the way, and he lost all his face and face!

Seeing that Zhang Fan's expression was not very good, Song Lan knew that he was also very upset inside, so he couldn't add fuel to the fire, so he waved his hand and comforted him: "None of us thought that such a thing would happen, so don't blame yourself too much. .”

"However, the locks of our store have to be changed, and the glass display stand in the record area must be replaced with a safer one, so as not to cause accidents again." Song Lan added.

"Boss, don't worry, as long as I'm still here, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future!" Zhang Fan almost squeezed out the words between his teeth.

Zhang Fan decided that he would stay in the bookstore from now on and not go anywhere, to see if there were any blind thieves who dared to come to steal things, then he would definitely let them understand what it was like to break ground in Taisui.

Song Lan knew that Zhang Fan was capable of doing what he said, so he didn't go into it anymore, but asked: "I heard that the thief was discovered by Boss Xia of the Lazy Gold Store?"

Speaking of Xia Lan, a look of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Fan's face: To be honest, he never thought that one day he would have to rely on Xia Lan's help.

"Yes..." Zhang Fan reluctantly said.

Song Lan glanced at Zhang Fan curiously: Is it an illusion?Zhang Fan seemed a little shy just now?

"Then we have to thank her well." Song Lan said.

Zhang Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, don't worry, I've already thanked Boss Xia."

"I have to go there myself to be more sincere." Song Lan frowned, "I don't know what she likes, and I can't go empty-handed if I want to thank you."

In any case, Xia Lan also helped them catch the thief. No matter what kind of mentality she had in helping them, she still had to show it.

Zhang Fan quietly rolled his eyes, and muttered, "That female ghost's biggest hobby in her life is sleeping. I think the boss can just send you a pillow."

Song Lan raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms, and looked thoughtful: "It seems that you know her very well?"

"Boss, you can't spout blood," Zhang Fan said with a frightened expression on his face, "I don't know that female ghost at all!"

Song Lan guessed that Zhang Fan still had something to hide from her, but she didn't ask any more questions, and smiled lightly: "It's too childish to give pillows, so how about it, I just got a few boxes of tea here, why don't I share two boxes with her."

The tea leaves were brought back from Xie Daonian. Song Lan failed to drink the tea he brewed by himself. Before leaving, Xie Daonian simply brought back the unopened tea leaves to Song Lan.These teas are said to have been selected by Xie Daonian himself at the place of origin. Although they were not grown by him, they were also approved by him, and the quality must be guaranteed.

"Tea?" Zhang Fan raised his brows slightly, rolled his eyes, and smiled a bit complicatedly, "Since it was brought back by the Devil City, I think Boss Xia will accept it with pleasure."

Even though he said this, Zhang Fan felt a little sour in his heart: he hadn't been able to taste the tea of ​​the third child yet, but this surnamed Xia was lucky, and he would be blessed with a howl.

At this moment, Zhang Fan was almost sour into a lemon essence.
