The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

"I think I know what sister Jiang Hua meant by saying that." Xiao Xiao clapped her hands and said, she walked around Zhang Tong several times, looking like she had finally figured it out.

"What is it?" Zhang Tong didn't expect that the little waiter he had hired had this ability, so he said, "Quickly tell me, my lord, you will be rewarded for what you say!"

"Let's talk about the reward first!" Xiao Xiao narrowed her eyes.

"If you're right, a thousand yuan 85-degree C bread voucher!" Zhang Tong waved his hand and announced the reward.

"Boss is grand!" Xiao Xiao gestured to Zhang Tong in a gesture of kneeling and thanking the boss with her hand. With a bread voucher of 1,000 yuan, you can go to the bakery to buy a small cake every day for several months.

"Actually, sister Jiang Hua's statement is very obvious, that is to say, your clothes and clothes are ugly." Xiao Xiao pointed to the uniform of Happy Bakery on the table and said so.

"It's up to you to guess, I know it myself. Seriously." Zhang Tong asked to get to the point.

"Of course, this is just the first meaning. Sister Jiang Hua just used this as an entry point. Boss, what do you think our store sells?" Xiao Xiao asked back.

Zhang Tong replied without thinking: "Selling rice."

"Yeah, it's a small shop selling food. And the boss is wearing the uniform of a bakery. Although it is also a chef's uniform, it has a feeling that is irrelevant." Xiao Xiao used her delicate fingers Rubbed the clothes on the table.

"So, do you know what the biggest problem is?" Xiao Xiao asked Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong: "What?"

"It's the disharmony in you! It's the sense of disobedience we generally talk about now!" Xiao Xiao pointed to the clothes and then to Zhang Tong.

"Boss, your biggest problem is that you have a strong sense of disobedience. It emanates from the inside out. I guess this is what Sister Jiang Hua wants you to change. It's not just about throwing away your clothes and changing into a beautiful and well-fitting chef. It's that simple."

Xiao Xiao stood in front of Zhang Tong: "And you have problems from head to toe! Full of a sense of detachment from this era, this is the most important thing."

"I guess what Sister Jiang Hua wants to say is that you need to integrate into the present era. Don't be a person from the previous era. That sense of age may make Sister Jiang Hua feel that you are an outdated uncle and unable to communicate. "When Xiao Xiao said this, Zhang Tong felt that it made sense.

Yeah, kind of makes sense. I never thought about it that way.

In fact, wearing the chef's uniform of Happy Bakery is just a place. Zhang Tong has been like this since he came back from another world. It can't be said that he is slovenly, but it has nothing to do with modern trends.

For example, when he came home, he found that his parents had never lost his old clothes, and they were neatly locked in the cabinet. Seeing these, he was reluctant to throw them away. In the past, a small shop in my family was not considered rich. In those days, a bowl of noodles in clear soup cost one yuan per bowl.

At that time, there were few rich people, and most of them were not very rich. It is normal to wear relatives' old clothes and school uniforms. Everyone is saving their lives. The children are growing up, so buying a lot of new clothes is the most uneconomical.

Maybe if I bought it in the first half of the year, I won’t be able to wear it in the second half of the year. And the clothes for teenagers are not at all cheaper than those for adults. A piece of clothing costs dozens, and a slightly better one costs more than a hundred. At that time, Nike and Adidas had already entered China. A piece of Nike sportswear cost hundreds of yuan, and a pair of sneakers cost nearly 1,000 yuan, which shocked the Chinese people at that time. At that time, the per capita salary in Huaihai City was less than 800 yuan.

But even so, Zhang Tong's parents never let Zhang Tong wear his relatives' old clothes. It’s not about grabbing some face, but Zhang Tong’s parents have always told him: Wearing old clothes is because you are afraid that you will be laughed at by your classmates, and buying you good clothes is not to show you off, but to let you know that you should be upright down the spine. You are still young in grade and don’t understand it yet, but you will understand it when you grow up.

The ten-year-old Zhang Tong really didn't understand, but he didn't know what his parents said was true until he grew up. They use this method to protect their children's healthy growth in a society where dogs look down on people.

They both protect him and tell him that all this is wrong. Two ordinary people who run a small restaurant do not have the ability to change society, they can only choose not to be changed by society.

It is this kind of persistence that makes Zhang Tong's character: I have no ability, I can't change anything. But I can at least choose not to change.

This kind of character polishing was already formed when Zhang Tong was seventeen or eighteen years old. His parents taught him a lot of truths that would not be found in school, on the podium, or in textbooks.

So when Zhang Tong came back, he looked at his old clothes and felt a sense of reluctance. He didn't lose it, but locked it neatly in the box. I also picked out some sportswear that I could wear inside and continued to wear them. Anyway, they were not damaged and they were washed very clean.

It's just that the styles of these clothes have been around for a long time, and it's not too long since Zhang Tong came back. A lot of knowledge can be learned, but the aesthetic concept cannot be reversed in a month.

It was only a few days before he learned how to shop online. The few clothes he bought before were all purchased at the clothing wholesale market next to the farmer's market. In the end, the clothes I bought were so old-fashioned!

They looked like they were worn by middle-aged men in their forties. If it weren't for Zhang Tong's good looks, thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall and strong body, he could barely hold up the aura of these rustic old clothes. Otherwise, the kind of clothes that walk in the crowd will definitely look very old.

"So, wearing clothes is just an appearance." Xiao Xiao looked at Zhang Tong seriously and said: "The more important thing is the temperament from the inside out. Temperament!"

Xiao Xiao said emphatically: "If you dress old-fashioned, you will appear old-fashioned. If you say it nicely, it's called being mature and prudent. If you say it badly, it's called premature aging."

"Wow, is it so serious?" Zhang Tong exaggeratedly exclaimed while holding a mug soaked in goji berries.

"Na Na ~! And this wolfberry soaked water in the thermal insulation cup, looking at the fact that the forty -year -old state -owned enterprise cadres were made. You just bought a Huaihai Evening News, opened the radio to listen to the happy moment, and tilted Erlang's legs aside. I read the newspaper while drinking tea." Xiao Xiao mentioned the leisure way that Zhang Tong felt very comfortable.

"Ah? Isn't that okay too?" Zhang Tong couldn't help having a headache.

"Now there are only advertisements left in newspapers, and there is nothing to read. Leaving aside your living habits, I guess you won't be able to change them in a while. You need to adapt to this era slowly, but you have to change your appearance. Changed, Boss, you shouldn't be wearing a basketball vest or thermal underwear under your white shirt, right?" Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of something, and she looked at Zhang Tong suspiciously.

Zhang Tong protected his chest: "Wow, you have clairvoyance."

"Where is the need for perspective! This is a big taboo! Now that the white shirt is wearing a basketball vest or something, you can feel that you are over forty years old at first glance, okay?" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but support her forehead.

"No wonder you failed to flirt with Sister Jianghua. It would be strange if you didn't fail. I think I can be called Sister Jianghua, but if I want to call you, I have to call you Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Tong: ………… I was at a loss for words for a while.

"Close the store, Uncle Zhang, don't play Little Overlord tonight!" Xiao Xiao pushed Zhang Tong out.

"Why?" Zhang Tong was puzzled.

"Bring your wallet, I'll take you to buy clothes and make a hairstyle!" Xiao Xiao said as a matter of course.
